Julian can file the Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility, also known as form I-601, to seek a waiver of certain grounds of inadmissibility. The I-601 waiver is one of the best options for Julian because it would let him re-enter the United States legally.

It started as an organized protest along the streets of Dallas, and ended up being an offensive act to witnesses of the scene.

Local police departments have long been accused of profiling Hispanic, African-Americans, and other minorities of race in law enforcement activities, including run of the mill traffic stop. Critics fear that immigration enforcement by state and local authorities will lead to increase of racism. Many Americans have shown concerns with the implementation of racist discrimination of the U.S immigration laws by state police agencies and local authorities.
