La Constitución de Estados Unidos protege a todos los inmigrantes, incluidos los indocumentados, cuando participan en protestas en Estados Unidos.
He aquí una lista de algunos de los derechos contemplados en la Constitución de Estados Unidos que debe tener en cuenta cuando participe en protestas:
- Derecho a la libertad de expresión. La Primera Enmienda prohíbe al gobierno restringir el derecho a la libertad de expresión. La gente tiene derecho a participar en protestas, marchas y manifestaciones.
- Derecho a no sufrir represalias. La Primera Enmienda prohíbe que el gobierno tome represalias contra usted por ejercer sus derechos, como el derecho a la libertad de expresión.
- Derecho a guardar silencio. La Quinta Enmienda le protege de la autoinculpación y le otorga el derecho a permanecer en silencio.
- Derecho a no ser registrado ni incautado injustificadamente. La Cuarta Enmienda le protege contra registros e incautaciones irrazonables.
- Derecho a hablar con un abogado. Si usted es arrestado o detenido, tiene derecho a hablar con un abogado.
Ten en cuenta que, si eres indocumentado y participas en protestas, corres un mayor riesgo de que te detengan los funcionarios de inmigración si están presentes en la protesta. Si eres indocumentado, asegúrate de que tienes un plan para el caso de que te detengan las fuerzas del orden o los funcionarios de inmigración. Es importante tomar precauciones y si es arrestado o detenido debe ponerse en contacto con un abogado inmediatamente.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has concluded the annual H-1B cap lottery for Fiscal Year 2027, with employers and legal representatives now able to check selection outcomes through their registration portals.
In 1948, the world came together to declare that certain rights are inherent to every human being, regardless of nationality. Chief among these is the right to safety.
The Universal Right to Seek Safety
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), specifically Article 14, guarantees that "everyone has the right to
On January 14, 2026, the Trump administration announced a freeze on immigrant visa issuance for nationals of 75 countries . The administration states that this “visa freeze” is intended to review security protocols, “reduce risks,” and control immigration flows. However, the immediate reality is that this change in policy has temporarily suspended visa processing and restricted travel for applicants from numerous countries across the globe. While the legal landscape surrounding these suspensions is highly fluid and subject to change, it is important to consider how this “visa freeze” might impact your current status or immigration plans. The scope of the restrictions varies drastically depending on your country of origin and specific visa category. Most notably, a nationality-based travel ban restricts visa issuance for 19 countries : Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela. Beyond this targeted ban, a broader freeze affects applicants from a designated list of up to 75 countries, leading to indefinite delays for many visa petitions. However, it is important to note that immigrant visa applications first need to be processed through USCIS, which has not paused processing applications from the 75 countries. Thus, it is important to contact an attorney to understand at what point in the process this visa freeze may affect your case. While Brazil is included in the list of 75 countries, at the time of this publication, the freeze does not include non-immigrant visas for Brazil . Non-immigrant visas are granted to foreign nationals seeking to enter the United States on a temporary basis for specific purposes, such as tourism, studying, or temporary work. This means that Brazilian applicants can still safely pursue non-immigrant employment options, such as O visas for individuals with extraordinary ability or P visas for internationally recognized athletes, without being subjected to the current travel bans or suspensions.
