American citizenship is a privilege, and it must be earned honestly. If you come here break our laws, and lie in your immigration proceedings, you forfeit that privilege. @DHSgov will not stand idly by while Americans are harmed by criminals including sex offenders, perpetrators of fraud, and drug traffickers who have exploited our generosity and gamed our immigration system. We will continue to use every lawful avenue to denaturalize and remove aliens.
EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration plans to announce it is seeking to revoke the citizenship of 17 U.S. citizens accused of immigration fraud, expanding its unprecedented denaturalization campaign, CBS News has exclusively learned. cbsn.ws/49LajBM

ARRESTED: A sexual predator with an active arrest warrant for possession of child pornography has been apprehended and is awaiting criminal proceedings. When the Nepalese alien visited our office for a biometrics appointment, we discovered the warrant and promptly coordinated with local law enforcement.

USCIS is applying long-standing law and prior court decisions to require certain aliens with temporary visas who decide they want to permanently reside in the U.S. to return to their home countries to apply for permanent visas through the @StateDept. We're returning to the original intent of the law to ensure aliens navigate our nation’s immigration system properly. Here’s what you should know: uscis.gov/newsroom/news-rele…

Following the law allows the majority of these cases to be handled by the @StateDept at U.S. consular offices abroad, as was designed to be the intended process. And it frees up limited USCIS resources to focus on processing other cases that fall under our purview, including visas for victims of violent crime and human trafficking, naturalization applications, and other priorities.

This year’s H-1B season is wrapping up, and we’re seeing great results from @POTUS’ new policies that prioritize America First! Stay tuned for more updates, but here’s what we’re seeing so far: ✅More top talent: We’re approving more applicants with advanced degrees and higher salaries—especially those who studied at U.S. universities. An overwhelming 71.5% of selected aliens hold a U.S. master’s degree or higher, compared to 57% last year. ✅Stronger workforce: These skilled workers are making a real impact on our economy and we’re closing the door on the low-wage and low-skilled foreign labor pipeline approved under Biden administration policies. This year, only 17.7% of all selected registrations were in the lowest wage category. ✅Restoring integrity: The number of properly submitted registrations plummeted by 38.5%, from 343,981 in fiscal year 2026 to just 211,600 in fiscal year 2027. This data is a clear sign that the days of abusing the program with mass, low-wage registrations are over, and that the program is better serving its intended purpose of attracting highly skilled foreign workers and protecting the wages, working conditions, and job opportunities of American workers. More details coming soon!

When I became @USCIS Director, I inherited a staggering backlog of asylum cases: 1.5 million—up from 400k in 2021. That was the result of 4 years of unchecked crossings at the border because the previous president didn’t care who they let into our homeland. This @POTUS cares.

When it comes to immigration, we’re upholding standards set by Congress and enforcing requirements that have long been ignored. The Trump administration is taking decisive steps to eliminate fraud and protect American citizens.
Community note
For months, USCIS has enforced indefinite illegal hold of new/visa renewals, work authorizations, green card, citizenship for every legal immigrant from 39 countries, already living in the US. These include families of US citizens. Several judges already deemed this illegal thehill.com/homenews/admin… npr.org/2026/04/28/nx-…

There is nothing more precious than the gift of American citizenship. Earning that privilege means: ▪️Assimilation into our culture, ▪️English proficiency, & ▪️A commitment to the principles of our Constitution. We’re taking major steps to reinforce those essentials.
Community note
USCIS has capriciously stalled applications filed by highly-skilled scholars and professionals. PM-602-0192/94 imposed adjudication holds tied to country of birth, blocking eligible applicants from receiving any benefit including work authorization, GC, and naturalization. masslawyersweekly.com/2026/05/05/imm… news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-re…

.@USCIS implements new security checks for immigration applicants: "The enhanced screenings started after the FBI gave U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services greater access to its criminal history database. That's part of an executive order by @POTUS back in February."

The lengths the Biden administration went to in order to ignore the pervasive fraud in our immigration system are staggering. Today, under the Trump administration, @USCIS is proud to deploy dedicated special agents to specifically investigate, expose, & eliminate this fraud.

The Biden administration knew exactly what they were doing when they opened the floodgates, let everyone come in, and reduced our standards of screening and vetting to the point they were meaningless. Under @POTUS and @SecMullinDHS, we’re correcting that for the American people.
Community note
Evidence shows @USCIS policy imposes an indefinite hold on benefits for legal immigrants from certain countries, including those vetted under Trump (2017–2021). Law-abiding PhDs and doctors are barred from work, contradicting “merit-based” claims. news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-re…
