Another cruel and chaotic move by the Trump Administration.
This is anti-family, anti-immigrant and anti-American.
NBC News@NBCNews
The Trump administration says that people with temporary visas must return to their home countries to apply for green cards, in a major change from current practice. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/v…

This is heartbreaking. She is one of the best founders I know, and no one should have to go through this.
A canceled wedding. No way to call family. Years away from loved ones. Constant uncertainty about the future. This is the reality for so many Iranians right now, quietly carrying pain while trying to live normal lives.
This is wrong in so many ways!
Kiana Ehsani@ehsanik
Today I was supposed to be on my way to Türkiye for my wedding, to meet up with my family and have them finally meet my partner and husband. We had everything planned. We chose Turkiye since it's close to Iran and my partner and I could both go there and have our families meet each other. We were supposed to get married with our close family and a small group of friends on a boat on the Mediterranean Sea at sunset. Because of the war, all flights to and from Iran are cancelled and my family can’t leave Iran, so we had to call off the wedding. Instead, this is how my day looked like. I woke up to a reminder to call my grandma (I used to call her every Friday morning). I snoozed the reminder until next Friday, just like I have done for the past many years. I can’t call her like our tradition these days because there is no way to call home. All international calls to Iran are blocked, and the internet is fully shut down by the regime. I got to work and right as I opened my computer I received an email I had scheduled to send to myself 5 years ago: “Apply for citizenship.” This summer marks 11 years of being in the US and 5 years of being a green card holder. I am now eligible to file for citizenship, but it doesn’t matter because an executive order was signed a few months ago that banned all Iranians from applying for any visa or citizenship. At lunch I opened Twitter just to see what’s up in the world and saw the news that those who don’t have a green card now need to leave the US before they can get one. This means every one of my Iranian friends who are here on a visa now has to go back home (on which flight?) to get a green card??? As if it’s that easy? We all know getting back to the US for Iranians is a huge challenge (months and months of waiting for a visa, with a chance of never being able to come back). And this is just a normal Friday for an Iranian. These days, when people ask how I’m doing and how I’m handling everything, I just say: It’s okay, it’s okay. It will be okay some day. But the reality is: nothing is okay. I’m in constant pain. I haven’t seen my family and loved ones in years, I barely hear about their wellbeing, and I’m constantly worried about them. I’m just burying myself in work because that’s the only distraction that can save me from losing my mind. I’m not okay. None of us are okay. We are just barely holding it together…

Don’t get too upset about the green card rule.
It probably won’t hold up in court. And Trump’s rich donors are probably making the calls now and buying whatever memecoins they need to in order to reverse this anyway.
But keep in mind who these people are going forward.

most Americans do not support this. when Dems regain power they should focus on the most popular immigrants -- educated legal ones -- instead of on amnesty for illegal immigrants so that we can regain and keep the public's trust on this issue
Homeland Security@DHSgov
An alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply. This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes. The era of abusing our nation’s immigration system is over.

Adjustment of status is LITERALLY the legal immigration process created by Congress in 1952, and does not bypass anything. In fact, DHS is in better position to vet than DOS.
Yet another Congressperson who doesn't understand what they are talking about.

Rep. Claudia Tenney@RepTenney
.@POTUS is closing yet another loophole the left allowed to fester for years. Coming to the U.S. temporarily was NEVER meant to become a permanent stay. No longer will this be exploited to bypass the legal immigration process.

This is bad and misguided policy
USCIS@USCIS
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.

How can Congress not impeach @USCISJoe? Do your job, Joe. He now demands every green card applicant self-deport, so that 1) applicants have to go through a process where courts are barred from nearly any review of consular decisions; and 2) overstays get 10-year barred....

An odd move. The Green card is the only path to citizenship for immigrants & is a heavily vetted process. All this does is disincentivize & constrain legal immigration, while making Canada, Germany etc even more attractive destinations for H-1B and student visas at expense of US

There are hundreds of thousands of green card applicants in the U.S. They are nurses and doctors, teachers and engineers, mechanics and farm workers. The Trump Administration wants to force them out of the country while their cases are heard. It is reckless and wrong—and it will separate husbands and wives, parents and children, and break apart communities. All to fuel the admin’s mass deportation machine.
We must remember that America became the most powerful and prosperous country on earth because of immigrants not in spite of them.

So this means that there will be American children who will be separated from their mom or dad for months or YEARS. This is anti-family.
I’ll do everything I can to stop it.

And think about how this would actually work in practice, and I’ll use Iranians as an example.
Right now, more than 12,000 Iranian nationals who are here legally on student or work visas are already living in fear because of the Trump Administration’s USCIS processing pause. I recently introduced The Iranian Temporary Immigration Relief Act (H.R. 8740) with @RepTomSuozzi to grant Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and work authorization to eligible Iranian nationals.
But this new policy is even more extreme. It’s horrifying, actually.
It would impact people applying for green cards, many of whom have been living in the United States LEGALLY for years, building careers, raising American children, and creating full lives here.
That includes thousands of Iranians who studied in the U.S. and are now working as scientists, engineers, researchers, and doctors at top companies and hospitals across this country. I personally know people in these exact circumstances.
An Iranian married to an American citizen, with U.S. citizen children, could be forced to leave the country and process their case from abroad. But there is no U.S. embassy in Iran. And they could be sent back into the hands of a brutal regime in the middle of war and political repression.
Stephen Miller-the architect behind Trump’s mass deportation agenda-has always pushed cruel and extreme policies. But this is beyond the pale. The human cost will be catastrophic for families across this country.

They’ve been lying when they say they support immigration “the right way.” This radical policy will target people here LEGALLY, including people married to Americans and parents of U.S. citizen children.
It will separate families for months or even years, devastate communities, and kill jobs.
We have to do everything we can to stop this insanity.

Forcing immigrants pursuing green cards legally to leave behind their homes, their jobs, and in some cases their families betrays the very promise that built this country.
The Wall Street Journal@WSJ
Most green-card applicants will need to go abroad to apply for permanent residency at an American consulate, rather than filing from within the U.S. as they do now, the Trump administration announced Friday. on.wsj.com/4v2Fqkr

Fun fact- I’m old, but my mother still hadn’t been born when this was “consistent long-standing immigration law.
Curtis Morrison@curtismorrison
The phrase “consistent long-standing immigration law” refers to pre-1952 immigration law, when Congress stepped in & passed the INA, allowing for AOS. - Immigration and Refugee Law and Policy (6th Ed), Legomsky

Keep speaking out. Public outcry works.

No, it shouldn’t take immense public pressure and testifying to Congress. BUT… we’re proud to share Juan Chavez Velasco has been rightfully RELEASED from ICE custody. His family’s bravery made a huge difference.

I met with Students Without Limits, which supports immigrant students in San Diego – especially those facing deportation fears for themselves or their families. Trump’s cruel immigration policies are terrifying our youth and making all of us less safe.

I am an immigrant. I became a citizen. I was elected to Congress. And I will never stop fighting for every person who came to this country chasing something better.
Right now, families in our district and across this country are living in terror. Children are going to school not knowing if their parents will be there when they get home.
This is not immigration enforcement. This is a deliberate campaign of fear and punishment targeting communities of color. And we will not accept it.

📣 Important
The Iranian Temporary Immigration Relief Act (HR 8740) must first pass through the House Judiciary Committee before moving forward.
This week is critical. We need maximum outreach to committee members to explain the human cost of the #USCISpause and request support for this bill.
Please do not stay silent. Contact representatives, encourage friends and family to call, and ask American colleagues, employers, professors, and coworkers to support this effort.
Collective action matters.

The Trump administration is destroying lives by deliberately refusing to process applications that people have paid for and filed properly; bureaucratic misconduct on purpose, as a weapon against disfavored groups.
