USCIS Director Joseph B. Edlow

Welcome @SecMullinDHS! Your commitment to public service and strong leadership will be invaluable as we work together to uphold the integrity of our immigration system and strengthen our nation’s security. Looking forward to what we’ll accomplish together.

USCIS is committed to safeguarding the American people from public safety and national security threats the Biden administration rubberstamped into the country. Nothing is off the table until every alien is vetted and screened to the maximum degree possible.

USCIS has halted all asylum decisions until we can ensure that every alien is vetted and screened to the maximum degree possible. The safety of the American people always comes first.

The protection of this country and of the American people remains paramount, and the American people will not bear the cost of the prior administration’s reckless resettlement policies. American safety is non negotiable.

At the direction of @POTUS, I have directed a full scale, rigorous reexamination of every Green Card for every alien from every country of concern.

RT @USCIS: Effective immediately, processing of all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals is stopped indefinitely pending furth…

Once again, Democrats are demonstrating that while they claim to care about aliens and efficient processing, their actions show they prioritize their radical agenda over the implementation of the laws passed by Congress. 4/4

Public facing interactions such as interviews, naturalization ceremonies, and contact center responses may also be delayed. USCIS regrets any negative impacts caused to aliens and Americans seeking benefits from the agency but must ensure that it complies with the law. 3/4

USCIS is committed to ensuring that the unintended consequences of the shutdown that has been forced by Senate Democrats do not negatively impact national security and endanger the safety of American Citizens. 1/4

USCIS Director Joseph Edlow lays out examples of immigration fraud caught in the Minneapolis area during Operation Twin Shield: "These are NOT victimless crimes. Every case of fraud we uncovered damages our national security, undermines the integrity of our immigration system, and... has real consequences."

USCIS Director Joseph Edlow on Minneapolis-area immigration fraud: "We found organizations here that were sponsoring many, MANY individuals... they were doing almost a blanket sponsorship—that is FRAUD. That's something that should have been caught. It's something that I know the previous administration was aware of... and no action was taken."

Immigration fraud undermines the integrity of our immigration systems and our laws. President Trump has empowered our immigration officers to thoroughly vet aliens as required by our nation’s laws and to pursue immigration fraud whenever it’s encountered. uscis.gov/newsroom/news-…

USCIS is declaring an all-out war on immigration fraud, starting with Operation Twin Shield. Thanks to the hard work of @USCIS, @ICEgov, and @FBI, we've investigated 1200+ immigration cases flagged for fraud. ⬇️

Calling all patriots. USCIS is now hiring “HOMELAND DEFENDERS.” Your job will be to interview applicants for green cards, work visas and citizenship for approval or denial. Great pay, flexible hours, stay local. Sign up to be a Homeland Defender today!

The men and women of ICE are fathers and mothers, sons and daughters. They get up every morning to try and make our communities safer. The violence and dehumanization of these men and women who are simply enforcing the law must stop.

Below is the truth about @POTUS’ latest H-1B proclamation:

Rest in Peace @charliekirk11—a fearless patriot and inspiration to millions. On behalf of @USCIS, I wish his family strength and comfort during this unthinkable tragedy.

After wrapping up an interview with @FrontlinesTPUSA's @MonicaPaigeTV today, I had the honor to congratulate her videographer’s family on their new Green Cards. @USCIS welcomes those who embrace American values and respect our laws.
