Under the Trump administration, green card holders have found themselves under increased scrutiny. Many were surprised to learn that their status did not guarantee seamless entry into the U.S. anymore. The administration's focus on ensuring that green card holders are genuinely residing in the U.S. has led to stricter enforcement of residency requirements.In this episode, Mona and Rebecca discuss the perception of "abandonment”,  as the administration targets those using their green card as a multi-entry visas rather than establishing the U.S. as their primary residence. Mona and Rebecca discuss what documents to bring (and what form they should be in!), what one might be asked, and what exactly the current administration is looking for. They also delve into the advantages of the Re-Entry Permit. Whether you're entering for the first time or returning after a long stay abroad, Mona and Rebecca have answers!

SACRAMENTO, CA – Today, Assemblywoman Celeste Rodriguez (D-San Fernando) introduces her first bill in the 2025-26 legislative session, AB 495 – The Family Safety Plan Act, which will provide support to immigrant and mixed-status families by ensuring safety plans are in place in the event of immigration enforcement actions.“The threats from the federal administration have led to fear in many communities including mine,” said Assemblywoman Celeste Rodriguez. “We must do everything we can to safeguard families from separation and ensure children are supported. AB 495 is a critical tool that will preserve California's families.”Forty-five percent of California children have at least one immigrant parent.

This bill protects children in immigrant families by ensuring that families have safety plans in place in case of immigration enforcement actions.Assemblywoman Rodriguez represents the 43rd Assembly District, which includes the City of San Fernando and communities across the Northeast San Fernando Valley, including Arleta, Sun Valley, Sylmar, Pacoima, Panorama City, North Hollywood, Lake View Terrace, Valley Glen, Mission Hills and North Hills.

Bill would protect immigrant children from President-elect Donald Trump's stated plan for mass deportationsTorrance, CA – Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi (D-Torrance), Chair of the Assembly Education Committee, introduced Assembly Bill 49, a bill that would protect immigrant children from actions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers who enter school sites or child care facilities. The bill would prohibit school or child care employees from allowing ICE officers to enter a school site or child care facility for any purpose without providing valid identification, a written statement of purpose, a valid judicial warrant, and approval from the school district's superintendent or director of the child care center. The bill also would require that if an ICE official meets the requirements to enter a school site or child care facility, their access would be restricted to school or child care facilities where students or children are not present."All children have a constitutional right to attend public schools, regardless of immigration status," stated Assemblymember Muratsuchi. "Unfortunately, the threat of federal immigration officials coming onto school grounds to detain undocumented students or family members casts a shadow of fear over all California students. Students cannot learn if they are living in fear of being deported or separated from their family members. This bill is necessary because children should not be afraid to come to school, and parents should not be afraid to send their children to school."As during his first term, there is an increased fear of raids by ICE officials at schools and child care centers as President-elect Donald Trump is threatening to deport millions of undocumented immigrants across the United States. President-elect Trump has also threatened to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education. According to the California State Superintendent of Public Instruction's office, this closure would risk around $8 billion in federal funds for California programs serving students with disabilities and low-income students.Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi represents California's 66th Assembly District, which includes El Segundo, Gardena, Hermosa Beach, Lomita, Los Angeles, Manhattan Beach, Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach, Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, San Pedro and Torrance. Muratsuchi is Chair of the Assembly Education Committee, Chair of the Assembly Select Committee on Aerospace, and a member of the Committees on Budget, Budget Subcommittee on Education, Higher Education, Natural Resources, and the Joint Legislative Committee on Climate Change Policies.

In this episode, Glen interviews Taha Khan, a Canadian CPA with a U.S. license, who specializes in helping Canadians navigate the complex world of cross-border taxation. The conversation is centered around real estate investors, snowbirds, and business owners who spend time or have assets in the United States. Key Topics Covered: Substantial Presence Test (SPT): Taha breaks down how Canadians can accidentally become U.S. tax residents by spending too much time in the U.S. He explains the formula behind the SPT and how the 183-day rule works. Solutions like the Closer Connection Exception and Form 8840 are discussed to help avoid being taxed as a U.S. resident. Green Cards & Tax Residency: Taha explains how having a U.S. green card automatically triggers U.S. tax residency, regardless of physical presence. FIRPTA & Selling U.S. Real Estate: For Canadian investors selling U.S. property, FIRPTA (Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act) can withhold 15% of the gross sale price. Taha explains how to reduce this withholding with Form 8288-B and how to structure deals smartly to avoid surprises. LLCs vs LPs: Taha gives advice on why LLCs are usually not ideal for Canadian investors due to unfavorable tax treatment by CRA. He suggests alternatives like Limited Partnerships (LPs) for better tax efficiency. Canadian Snowbirds: For retirees or snowbirds spending winters in the U.S., Taha emphasizes the importance of tracking days, filing Form 8840 annually, and consulting a tax professional to avoid dual taxation. Tips & Takeaways: Always work with a cross-border tax specialist. Don't assume Canadian and U.S. tax rules are aligned. File the right forms on time—even if you don't owe tax—to avoid penalties. Proper planning beats reacting when it comes to cross-border issues.
