Georgia requires E-Verify for many employers and limits access to public benefits for undocumented residents. Local law enforcement frequently cooperates with federal immigration agencies, and state laws restrict in-state tuition and driver’s licenses. Still, legal advocates work tirelessly on deportation defense, family reunification, and humanitarian cases. Georgia’s growing immigrant population, particularly in urban centers, continues to face legal challenges best met with firm legal support, especially in navigating removal proceedings, ICE holds, and DACA renewals.
