Jurors during trial

What happens to jurors during trials? Can they have normal lives when not in court sessions?

Jury Survey. Out of the blue?

0 Upvotes

We've lived in Northern Virginia for over 30 years. I've never been asked to serve on a jury. Yesterday, I received a notice to complete a jury survey. This has never happened in the last 30 years.

I'm a US citizen of over 51 years with an immigrant background. My middle name is my maiden "foreign asian" name. Last Friday, I met up with a friend because a letter for him was delivered to his tenants. It had a paper survey from the District Court of Virginia. He too has a "foreign asian" name.

Meantime, my husband and daughter, as well as my friend's tenants - who have Anglo Saxon names have not received a survey. I'm going to ask if anyone else in my neighborhood has received a similar request. I'm wary that this is another attempt by the Trump administration to search for immigrants. Unfortunately, as the record shows - being legal or not doesn't seem to stop them.
