By CHRIS WAMALWAMore by this AuthorPHILADELPHIAImmigration experts are urging Kenyans living in the US illegally to familiarise themselves with their legal rights as President Donald Trump's administration steps up raids. Kenyan-born Texas Immigration Attorney Sarah Wairimu Brooks says people should first seek legal counsel before engaging with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. The federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency rounded up undocumented individuals living in Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and other cities. The Trump administration is facing a series of legal challenges over a recent ban on travellers from seven majority Muslim countries. "ICE officers have also been given lots more powers and discretion by the Trump administration," she said.
