Our office has received several approval of I-130 petitions for Yemeni relatives. The news is promising that there adjudicative processing occurring at USCIS.
USCIS announces that "holds have been lifted" for "certain petitions filed by US citizens." The very vague language inspires little faith that this is a broad rollback of the USCIS benefits freeze affecting all immigrants from 40 countries rather than isolated relief for a few.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Any reporting on Cuba that you didn't get from me or the President is a liar. Cuba’s economy needs to change, and their economy can’t change unless the system of government changes.

Iran's equivalent of Sec of Def is a mathematician and philosopher who writes dissertations on metaphysics. We have this bozo.
Hegseth: “The only thing prohibiting transit in [Hormuz] right now is Iran shooting at shipping.” “It is open for transit should Iran not do that”

Because we have the best economies in the country you idiot bigot! And we owe those economies to our immigrant neighbors.
Why are the highest concentration of illegal aliens all in Democrat run cities?

Masked federal agents break into your home. Your sons are fighting a war in Iran on behalf of Israel. You can barely afford rent, groceries, or gas. Your job is about to be automated. And somehow you think the problem is your new neighbor Mohamedou.

If @AsstSecStateCA Mora Namdarkhan paid more attention to protecting US Citizens than denying visas to Muslim children, your countrymen wouldn't be hunkering in bunkers across the middle east.
The @SecRubio @StateDept urges Americans to DEPART NOW from the countries below using available commercial transportation, due to serious safety risks.

We are witnessing the most incompetent prosecution of a war in the history of the United States.

Probably would be easier and cheaper for everyone to just let us sign up to be on the list. 🤣

A 2-1 outlier decision out of the Fifth Circuit to deny due process. Bondi is thrilled with herself.
Replying to @kyledcheney
NOTABLE: More than 360 judges nationwide have rejected the administration's interpretation of ICE's detention power, with just 26 siding with the Trump administration. The 5th Circuit adopted the outlier view, but other circuits will weigh in and this is likely SCOTUS-bound.

🚨BREAKING: DHS is trafficking twin FIVE-YEAR-OLDS and refusing to release them because they “lack property and assets.” Twin five year olds have been detained at the Dilley detention center for EIGHT MONTHS. An immigration judge denied them bond because of “a lack of property” and “a lack of assets.” And no, this wasn’t based on their family. This decision was made separately, for each child, as an individual. So, the U.S. government is now arguing that FIVE YEAR OLDS are too poor to be free. Which tends to be the case for most 5 year olds. And, as a result, DHS is continuing to hold these children, after already imprisoning them for eight months, in a for-profit concentration camp. That is child trafficking. So now, because the government has decided that kindergartners must meet a wealth requirement to not be trafficked, a GoFundMe has been started so these FIVE YEAR OLDS can acquire “assets” and buy their freedom from U.S. custody. And this is all by design… The Trump administration dismantled long-standing child detention protections, including moving to override the Flores Settlement, which limited how long children could be held and required their release to family whenever possible. Those safeguards were replaced with policies that allow children to be detained for months and denied bond, all to make CoreCivic more money. This is what happens when human rights are replaced with profit margins. (GoFundMe link is in the comments.)

An American citizen was executed in the street by an ICE agent and Miller sides with the executioner.
A would-be assassin tried to murder federal law enforcement and the official Democrat account sides with the terrorists.
Community note
Videos of the encounter shows that the gun was never drawn. The weapon remains in the victim's holster until one agent removes it. After the victim is disarmed, a second agent shoots him repeatedly.

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.
