This is the sort of thing that happened in Nazi Germany and authoritarian societies throughout
history. 85 yr old woman arrested by ICE and sent to a detention center. Her stepsons, one a federal employee, may have triggered the arrest. They were in a longstanding inheritance battle.
"...someone with a personal motive can trigger enforcement against a vulnerable individual in the context of an inheritance fight or any other type of dispute..."

Effective May 18, 2026, USCIS will limit remote attorney participation in interviews, including asylum and NACARA cases (with limited exceptions).

The right to representation remains—but how it functions in practice is changing.

More weight will shift to how the record is prepared before the interview.

AI-assisted tools generate logs—prompts, outputs, and usage history.

In legal practice, that raises a question:

When might those be treated as part of the record?

Not by design, but through how data is stored and retained.

More law firms are using AI-assisted tools for drafting and case prep.

But with sensitive immigration data, the key questions are operational:

Where is data stored? Who can access it? Are logs retained?

That’s where risk often sits.

Some of the most sensitive personal information handled by professionals comes from individuals seeking protection.

In some contexts, formal data protection rules apply.

But as legal work becomes more digital, it’s worth asking how day-to-day practices align with that level of sensitivity.

Immigration training often focuses on building the record.

Less attention is sometimes given to how USCIS evaluates it in practice.

BiyteLüm offers training for legal teams on credibility, adjudication standards, and how cases are interpreted—based on real USCIS experience.

AI-assisted drafting is becoming more common in immigration practice.

It improves clarity and structure, but also raises a question:

What happens when narratives begin to look more uniform?

This piece explores that as an emerging issue, particularly in how credibility is evaluated in context.
