The Supreme Court agreed on Monday to take up a case brought by various groups and state and local officials challenging a Trump-era rule that makes it more difficult for immigrants to obtain legal status if they use public benefits, such as Medicaid, food stamps and housing vouchers.

The rule, issued by the Trump administration in August 2019, is still in effect in most states nationwide. It immediately met pushback, and was subsequently blocked by courts, following its release.

White House announces sweeping immigration bill. On Thursday, the White House announced a sweeping immigration bill that would create an eight-year path to citizenship for millions of immigrants already in the country and provide a faster track for undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. The bill faces an uphill battle in Congress where it needs 60 votes to pass in the Senate. Administration officials stated Wednesday evening that the legislation was an attempt by President Biden to restart a conversation on overhauling the U.S. immigration system and said he remained open to negotiating.

USCIS extends flexibility for responding to agency requests. USCIS announced that, in response to the coronavirus pandemic, the agency is extending the flexibilities it announced on March 30, 2020, to assist applicants, petitioners, and requestors who are responding to certain requests for evidence, continuations, notices of intent, and motions to reopen, among other things. In addition, USCIS will consider a Form I-290B or Form N-336 if the form was filed up to 60 calendar days from the issuance of a decision the agency made and if the agency made that decision anytime from March 1, 2020, through March 31, 2021.

We have been receiving a lot of inquiries about the so-called “New Biden Law.” There is no such thing. There seems to be quite a lot of confusion and misinformation surrounding the Biden Administration’s Immigration initiatives. To clarify the situation the American Immigration Lawyers Association has provided an informative graphic which explains the Biden Administration’s immigration initiatives.

There’s good and bad news for immigrants waiting for USCIS biometrics appointments.

More than a million immigrants in the United States who have applied for citizenship through naturalization, adjustment of status, and other benefits have been waiting for their biometric services appointment at a local Application Support Center to provide their fingerprints, photograph, and/or signature. Due to COVID-19, USCIS canceled in-person services at its offices between March and June of last year, and there have been subsequent restrictions after opening to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Given these challenges, when authorized by law, USCIS will be reusing previously collected biometric data to conduct background and security checks.

On November 2, 2020, the district court in Cook County, Illinois, et al v. Wolf et. al., (19-cv-6334), granted summary judgment in favor of Plaintiffs on their claim that DHS’s Public Charge Rule, 84 Fed. Reg. 41,292 (Aug. 14, 2019) violates the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”), 5 U.S.C. § 701 et. seq. The district court specifically ruled that (1) the public charge exceeds DHS’s authority under the public charge provision of the INA, 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(4)(A); (2) is not in accordance with law; and (3) is arbitrary and capricious. Therefore, the court immediately set aside the DHS Public Charge Rule nationwide without staying its decision pending appeal.

DHS may not apply the public charge rule as of today, which includes the submission of Form I-944 and the information contained therein.

The court also continued litigation as it relates to equal protection claim raised by Plaintiff Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, Inc. (ICIRR).

As of this time, USCIS has not posted any guidance on implementation of the order on its public charge website, but as noted above the vacatur of the rule is effective immediately.

If you lie, withhold or, misrepresent anything on your immigration application, it can land you in deportation proceedings.

You have to understand that anytime you apply for any immigration benefit, your entire immigration history comes under review: from your first entry on that non-immigrant student visa all the way up to and including your citizenship application. “How will they know?” You ask? Oh they will. It’s not just form filling or application preparation. EVERY QUESTION is designed to elicit a specific piece of information that will be used to reference and cross reference your immigration history.

A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s plans to increase fees for immigrants seeking to become US citizens and others applying for asylum.

The decision is a setback to US Citizenship and Immigration Services, the agency that oversees the immigration system and has been struggling financially in recent months. USCIS, which is funded primarily through fees from immigration applications, canceled plans to furlough nearly 70% of its staff in August.

The Trump administration is preparing an immigration enforcement blitz next month that would target arrests in U.S. cities and jurisdictions that have adopted “sanctuary” policies, according to three U.S. officials who described a plan with public messaging that echoes the president’s law-and-order campaign rhetoric.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation, known informally as the “sanctuary op,” could begin in California as soon as later this week. It would then expand to cities including Denver and Philadelphia, according to two of the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive government law enforcement plans.

Tonight our nation mourns an American hero, a giant of legal doctrine, and a relentless voice in the pursuit of that highest American ideal: Equal Justice Under Law.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg stood for all of us. She fought for all of us. As a young attorney, she persisted through every challenge that an unequal system placed in her way to change the laws of our land and lead the legal charge to advance equal rights for women. It was my honor to preside over her confirmation hearings, and to strongly support her accession to the Supreme Court. In the decades since, she was consistently and reliably the voice that pierced to the heart of every issue, protected the constitutional rights of every American, and never failed in the fierce and unflinching defense of liberty and freedom. Her opinions, and her dissents, will continue to shape the basis of our law for future generations. May her memory be a blessing to all people who cherish our Constitution and its promise.

Tonight, and in the coming days, we should be focused on the loss of Justice Ginsburg and her enduring legacy. But just so there is no doubt, let me be clear: The voters should pick a President, and that President should select a successor to Justice Ginsburg. This was the position that the Republican Senate took in 2016, when there were nearly nine months before the election. That is the position the United States Senate must take now, when the election is less than two months away. We are talking about the Constitution and the Supreme Court. That institution should not be subject to politics.

Delays in the postal service threaten to disrupt more than the election: the entire immigration system, which is highly dependent on mail courier services, is also at stake. USPS delivers paperwork, notices, visas, work authorizations, naturalization documents, and more to the 47 million immigrants living in the United States. And only 10 of nearly 100 USCIS forms may be completed online.

A D.C. federal judge on Friday temporarily barred the Trump administration from applying its visa ban to foreign citizens who won green cards in the Diversity Visa lottery, finding that the US STATE DEPARTMENT’S refusal to process their visas is likely illegal.

U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta said the federal government had “unreasonably delayed processing” of green cards won by a group of lottery winners and their relatives, who had found themselves unable to secure visas to move to the U.S. under President Donald Trump’s travel restrictions.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has called off a planned furlough of more than 13,400 employees set to begin on Monday, forestalling a cut of more than two-thirds of its staff that would have brought much of the agency’s work to a halt.

Joe Edlow, the agency’s deputy director and day-to-day leader, announced the cancellation Tuesday in an email to staff and in a subsequent statement. Mr. Edlow said USCIS leadership decided to cancel the furloughs in light of higher-than-expected demand in immigration applications and aggressive spending cuts.

Today, even the most highly skilled individuals in the world cannot enter America under the Trump administration’s immigration policy. Reports from attorneys and a statement from the State Department confirm that U.S. consular officers in Europe are denying O-1 visas for individuals with “extraordinary ability” based on a health pretext. The strict interpretation of Trump presidential proclamations means individuals that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) have found to “possesses extraordinary ability” or a “record of extraordinary achievement” are – and will be – refused visas in Europe and cannot come to America.
