Federal Judge Says New DACA Rules Are Invalid, Crushes Trump Admin

Trump's incompetence has a few rare upsides, like his inability to repeal DACA despite trying really hard for four years.

Chad Wolf was not legally serving as acting Homeland Security secretary when he signed rules limiting applications and renewals for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, and those rules are now invalid, a federal judge ruled Saturday.

Sessions, Rosenstein: We Need to Take Away Children No Matter How Young

This is a crime against humanity.

The five U.S. attorneys along the border with Mexico, including three appointed by Trump, recoiled in May 2018 against an order to prosecute all undocumented immigrants even if it meant separating children from their parents. They told top Justice Department officials they were “deeply concerned” about the children’s welfare.

The separation of migrant children from their parents, sometimes for months, was at the heart of the Trump administration’s assault on immigration. 

Trump Admin Turning Legal Immigrants Into Undocumented Ones By Stopping Green Cards

The Trump administration is turning legal immigrants into undocumented ones.... by literally turning off the printers that print the documents.  

There are more than 100,000 immigrants here legally, whom USCIS approved for new green cards or work authorizations and they can't get their "papers" because USCIS literally turned off the printers without telling anyone

Appeals Court Rules Stealing Military Funds for Trump Border Wall Is Illegal

We were told Mexico would pay for it.  Then Trump stole money from our military to build a few miles of xenophobic wall.   Senate Republicans refuse to do it, but fortunately our courts are reminding Trump that he is not a king.

The Trump administration does not have the authority to use military funding to pay for construction of a border wall, a federal appeals court panel ruled on Friday [6/26/20].

Trump Freezes Green Cards and Work Visas For Best and Brightest

The administration continues to use the pandemic to advance Trump’s and Stephen Miller’s long-standing anti-immigrant, white nationalist agenda. Shameful.

Trump on Monday [6/22/20] extended a freeze on green cards for new immigrants and signed an executive order to suspend new H-1B, L-1, J and other temporary work visas for skilled workers, managers and au pairs through the end of the year.

Trump Admin Has Wasted So Much Money Harassing Immigrants That USCIS is Broke

Did the current administration waste so much money that now their immigration services need a bailout? It sure does look like it.

The immigration agency admonishing immigrants to pull themselves up by their bootstraps seems to have destroyed its own boots.  For three years, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services — the federal agency that processes visas, work permits and naturalizations — has lectured immigrants about how they should become more self-sufficient. It has alleged, without evidence, that too many immigrants are on the dole.
