President-Elect Trump’s Mass Deportation Begins to Take Hold

During the 2024 campaign, former president and candidate Donald J. Trump promised mass deportation for millions on undocumented migrants in the United States. It appears that the campaign pledges are beginning to take hold.

Last week, President-elect Trump named Thomas Homan as the “Border Tsar.” Homan, a former police officer and immigration official who previously served during the Obama administration and the first Trump administration as Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director has made it clear that mass deportation will be effectively carried out.

“We have a mandate. I think the American people just gave President Trump a mandate. That’s why he’s elected – to secure the border, save lives, and deport people, especially national security threats and public safety threats,” said Homan.

Homan commented that the immediate focus will be those in the country illegally with criminal convictions or charges.

“It’s not going to be a massive sweep of neighborhoods. It’s not going to be a massive raid. It’s going to be targeted enforcement operations,” Homan commented of the upcoming policy once Trump is sworn in as the 47th President on January 20, 2025.

Homan warned however that anybody who is in the United States illegally is on the table. “If you’re in the country illegally, you’ve got a problem.”

Homan argues that millions of people entered the United States illegally by way of the U.S.- Mexico border and millions more entered legally but have overstayed accruing unlawful status. Homan further commented that many individuals who are in the country illegally may likely leave on their own. As for how mass deportation will be enforced, Homan said it will depend on available resources.

“It depends on resources, depends on money. But I guarantee you that President Trump means what he says and there will be a green light to enforce our laws and secure the border. And that’s going to require a mass deportation operation.”

Homan’s appointment comes days after President Biden’s Parole-in-Place program, which would have provided certain illegal immigrants with lawful permanent resident status, was struck down by a federal judge .

Enterline and Partners strongly advises those who are in the United States illegally to immediately seek legal representation.

Delinquent U.S. Taxpayers in Southeast Asia

While living in the Southeast Asian region, it’s easy to forget about U.S. tax obligations, especially if the taxpayer’s income is deemed “minimal.” Let’s first re-visit our tax filing requirements, where an excerpt is noted right on the last page of one’s U.S. Passport, “All U.S. Citizens working and residing abroad are required to file and report on their worldwide income. Consult IRS Publication 54 …” Tax practitioners may use the standard deduction as the filing threshold. For tax year 2024, single status filers can claim up to $14,600 as a standard deduction. Therefore, if one can maintain and produce supporting documentation that the tax year’s income is below the standard deduction threshold, the taxpayer may opt to not file a U.S. Income Tax Return. However, it’s good practice to still file a tax return to show the U.S. Internal Revenue Service that your income is below the standard deduction

Federal Court of Appeals Rules Against Trump’s EO Ending Birthright Citizenship

A Federal Court of Appeals handed the Trump Administration another blow in its fight to redefine the 14th Amendment ending birthright citizenship through Executive Order (“EO”). The San Francisco-based Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Administration’s request for an emergency order putting on hold a nationwide ban issued by Seattle-based Judge John Coughenour last month who found the EO blatantly unconstitutional. Judge Coughenour decision was swiftly followed by Judge Deborah Boardman’s decision in Maryland who also ruled that the EO needed to be stopped. While the Trump Administration argued that Judge Coughenour’s ruling went too far, a three-judge panel disagreed and scheduled the case for arguments in June. U.S. Circuit Judge Danielle Forrest, whom Trump appointed during his first term, said that a rapid decision would risk eroding public confidence in judges who must “reach their decisions apart from ideology or political preference.” The other judges on the panel,

U.S. Taxes for Americans Abroad

A common concern raised by our clients departing the United States to reside abroad is what do they need to do about U.S. taxes. Furthermore, there are several misconceptions and misunderstandings that permeate the American expatriate community about U.S. taxes; especially about filing thresholds and some exclusion amounts. Allow us to provide insights — answers to address these questions and clarify the misconceptions. U.S. taxes are the financial backbone of the U.S. economy. The tax system is essential to financing the activities of the federal, state and municipal governments including infrastructure, healthcare, education, military and consular services. Indeed, now a cliché, founding father Benjamin Franklin once said, “nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Another notable thing about U.S. taxes is that an excerpt is noted right on the last page of one’s U.S. Passport, “All U.S. Citizens working and residing abroad are required to file
