The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for potentially hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans. The move could pave the way for increased deportations and is the latest in a series of emergency appeals brought by the administration to the high court.President Donald Trump said Russia and Ukraine will "immediately start" negotiating a cease-fire after speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin for more than two hours. Trump made separate phone calls to the leaders of both countries earlier Monday. The potential terms of a cease-fire remain unclear.First Lady Melania Trump joined President Trump Monday in the Rose Garden for the signing of the Take It Down Act. The new law makes it a federal crime to share explicit deepfakes and allows victims to take legal action against individuals who create or distribute such content.
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Humanitarian Parole programs have long served as crucial humanitarian policies, providing protection for individuals fleeing adverse conditions, such as armed conflicts, natural disasters, or other extraordinary circumstances, in their home countries.
On tonight's program: A mass shooting on the campus of Florida State University in Tallahassee has left two dead and six hospitalized, including the suspected shooter; A meeting to untangle some of the issues surrounding the Hope Florida Foundation and its alleged diversion of money for political purposes ended in chaos today; If lawsuits to halt the Trump administration from scrapping Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for immigrants fail, nearly 400,000 Venezuelan-born Floridians might be subject to deportation; And advocates of term limits for Florida's county commissioners and school board members have launched a campaign to put those limits into the state constitution.
President Donald Trump signed executive orders Tuesday aimed at lowering drug prices and blocking illegal immigrants from receiving Social Security benefits. He also delivered a strong message to communist China, saying the ball is now in its court as trade tensions escalate.Harvard University could lose its tax-exempt status and be taxed as a political entity, according to Trump, who made the statement Tuesday on Truth Social. He said it would happen if the school continues promoting what he called “political, ideological, and terrorist-inspired” content. The comments follow the Trump administration's decision to freeze more than $2 billion in funding to Harvard over its refusal to implement policy changes.The Department of Homeland Security says it will revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for thousands of Afghans and Cameroonians. Following a review by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem determined that conditions in both countries no longer meet the requirements for TPS.
Krynytsya (The Well), your wellspring for Ukraine and Ukrainians
There are about 250,000 Ukrainian parolees who have entered the United States as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In the context of U.S. immigration law, an immigration parolee is an individual granted temporary permission to enter or remain in the United States but without establishing a path to permanent residency. Iryna Mazur, a U.S. immigration attorney and Honorary Consul of Ukraine to Philadelphia, discusses their current status under the Uniting for Ukraine (U4U) and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) federal programs. On January 27, 2025, the Trump administration placed all parole programs on hold, and also, Ukraine was never redesignated for another TPS period. It is expected that the Administration will make a final decision with regards to the future of the U4U program and relevant re-parole authorizations by the end of April 2025. https://fimlaw.com/meet-our-lawyers/ https://www.consularcorpsofphiladelphia.org/ukraine/
Trump Puts Home Construction in CrisisJoin us for a compelling conversation about the impact of the Musk/Trump administration's immigration, tariff, and federal workforce policies on the construction industry, especially housing..In a discussion with Brian Turmail, Vice President of Public Affairs at the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), the Lean to the Left podcast explores those issues, which he says have put home construction in crisis.. Turmail highlights a severe labor shortage exacerbated by restrictions on programs like the H2B visa and cancellations under Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and DACA. This labor scarcity could lead to higher costs, longer construction times, and stalled community development projects. The discussion touches on the broader economic consequences, such as increased housing prices, reduced funding for public education due to stagnant real estate growth, and the potential economic harm from tariffs on construction materials. The AGC advocates for more investment in career technical education and a streamlined, lawful immigration pathway to address these workforce needs. The session concludes with a call to action for listeners to support these initiatives via the website WorkforceDoneRight.org.CHAPTERS:00:00 Trump's Immigration Policies and the Construction Industry00:58 Introduction to the Labor Shortage Crisis01:35 Historical Context and Education Policies02:56 Visa Programs and Their Limitations06:50 Impact of Workforce Shortages on Communities08:17 Potential Solutions and Policy Recommendations20:37 Economic Consequences of Tariffs26:49 Call to Action and ConclusionAbout Bob GattyBob Gatty is a former journalist and communications consultant, the founder and editor of the Lean to the Left blog and host of its podcast.Lean to the Left pulls no punches in calling out Trump, Musk & Co., who are turning our country into their own personal piggybank.Please check out Bob's new book, Hijacked Nation: Donald Trump's Attack on America's Greatness, now available on Amazon.com.

This Day in Legal History: Abraham Lincoln Inaugurated On March 4, 1861, Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated as the 16th president of the United States, taking office at a time of immense national turmoil. Seven Southern states had already seceded from the Union, and the country teetered on the brink of civil war. In his inaugural address, Lincoln struck a careful balance between firmness and conciliation, stating that while he had no intention to interfere with slavery where it existed, he would also not allow the Union to be dissolved. He appealed to the South's “better angels” and warned that secession was unlawful, emphasizing that the Constitution was designed to create “a more perfect Union.” This speech set the tone for a presidency marked by Lincoln's deep empathy for the downtrodden and his capacity for personal growth. Often celebrated for his moral clarity, Lincoln was also a leader willing to change his mind when confronted with new information. As the Civil War progressed, his views on slavery evolved, culminating in the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. He once said, “I shall adopt new views as fast as they shall appear to be true views,” an acknowledgment of his willingness to adapt when justice demanded it. This intellectual humility was one of his greatest strengths, allowing him to navigate the unprecedented crisis before him. His presidency, which began on this day, would redefine the nation's understanding of freedom, democracy, and leadership.Lincoln's presidency saw the transformation of a man as much as a nation. When he first took office, he publicly questioned the intellectual equality of Black people and initially supported only limited measures to restrict slavery's expansion. However, as the war unfolded and he engaged with Black leaders like Frederick Douglass, Lincoln's views evolved dramatically. By the end of the conflict, he not only issued the Emancipation Proclamation but also argued for Black suffrage, stating in his final speech that he believed Black men deserved the right to vote. He also expressed openness to women's suffrage, a radical position for the time. That April 11, 1865, speech, in which he publicly called for Black enfranchisement, enraged John Wilkes Booth, who declared, “That is the last speech he will ever make!” Three days later, Booth made good on his threat, assassinating Lincoln at Ford's Theatre. Lincoln's first inauguration marked the beginning of a journey that would not only reshape his own beliefs but also alter the course of American history—at the cost of his life and those of 400,000 of his fellow Americans.Immigrant rights groups have filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian and Venezuelan migrants. The lawsuit, brought in Boston federal court, opposes Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's move to accelerate the expiration of deportation protections and work permits for 521,000 Haitians by August. This reverses the Biden administration's previous extension of TPS for Haiti through February 2026. A similar decision was made for Venezuelan TPS recipients, with protections ending as early as April 2 for 348,000 individuals, a move already facing separate legal challenges. The lawsuit, filed by advocacy groups and individual migrants, argues that DHS lacked the authority to revoke an existing TPS extension and acted based on racial bias and political motivations. It cites past disparaging remarks by Trump about Haitian and Venezuelan immigrants as evidence of discrimination, alleging violations of the Fifth Amendment's equal protection guarantees. The Department of Homeland Security has not yet responded.By way of brief background, the lawsuit claims the administration's actions violate the Fifth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection. While the Fourteenth Amendment explicitly provides equal protection against state discrimination, the Fifth Amendment has been interpreted to extend similar protections against federal government actions. Plaintiffs argue that the abrupt termination of TPS disproportionately harms Haitian and Venezuelan migrants and is driven by racial and ethnic bias rather than lawful considerations.Lawsuit challenges Trump's end to Haitian, Venezuelan deportation protections | ReutersKraken announced that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has agreed in principle to dismiss its lawsuit accusing the cryptocurrency exchange of operating as an unregistered securities exchange. The dismissal, which comes with no admission of wrongdoing, penalties, or required business changes, is with prejudice, preventing the SEC from refiling the case. Kraken criticized the lawsuit as a politically motivated effort by the Biden administration that hindered innovation. The SEC, which had sued Kraken in 2023 under former Chair Gary Gensler's leadership, has shifted its approach to crypto regulation since Trump's return to office. Recently, the agency also dropped a similar case against Coinbase and is considering settling a civil fraud case against Justin Sun. The lawsuit had accused Kraken of facilitating crypto trades without proper regulatory compliance, but the company maintained that crypto assets do not fall under traditional securities laws.In legal terms, a dismissal with prejudice means the case is permanently closed and cannot be refiled. This is significant for Kraken because it ensures the SEC cannot bring the same claims against the company in the future. This type of dismissal often indicates that the plaintiff (in this case, the SEC) has decided not to pursue the matter further due to legal weaknesses or shifting priorities.Kraken says SEC to dismiss lawsuit | ReutersMy column for Bloomberg Tax this week focuses on the Multistate Tax Commission's (MTC) proposed rule aimed at simplifying tax compliance for mobile workers. While the proposal is a step in the right direction—creating a safe harbor for those working in nonresident states for 20 days or fewer—it doesn't go far enough to address the real burdens faced by workers and businesses.To make the rule truly effective, I argue that three key modifications are needed: increasing the safe harbor threshold to 30 days, implementing an income-based sliding scale, and eliminating arbitrary carve-outs for certain high-income professionals.Currently, 41 states impose income tax on nonresidents, with some—like Arkansas and Delaware—triggering tax obligations after just one day of work. This creates a compliance nightmare for mobile workers, who may have to file multiple state tax returns for short business trips. The MTC's 20-day threshold is an improvement, but expanding it to 30 days would better align with existing state policies and recommendations from tax advocacy groups.Additionally, the MTC's one-size-fits-all approach fails to differentiate between income levels. A sales rep earning $50,000 a year and a hedge fund manager making $5 million shouldn't be treated the same. A sliding scale—offering a longer grace period for lower-income earners while maintaining stricter thresholds for high-income, highly mobile workers—would make compliance fairer and more practical. Pegging the income thresholds to inflation would further ensure middle-class workers aren't disproportionately impacted over time.Finally, the proposal's exclusion of professional athletes, entertainers, and undefined “persons of prominence” is problematic. These individuals are denied the safe harbor, while a high-earning executive or consultant would benefit from it. The distinction isn't based on income but on profession, creating an arbitrary and inconsistent standard. If fairness and clarity are the goals, the MTC should remove these exceptions.With states actively debating mobile workforce tax reforms and Congress failing to pass a federal solution for nearly two decades, now is the time to get this right. Expanding the threshold, implementing an income-based scale, and removing unfair carve-outs would make the rule more equitable and increase the likelihood of state adoption. This is a public episode.

Après le décret de Donald Trump, qui vient de placer les narcotrafiquants mexicains sur la liste des organisations terroristes étrangères, analyse de Bertrand Monnet, professeur à l'Edhec et spécialiste de l'économie du crime. Interrogé par Clotilde Dumay, Bertrand Monnet estime que, bien que ce décret puisse être appliqué, il présente des limites concrètes. Selon lui, les cartels ne sont pas des groupes terroristes au sens traditionnel, mais des organisations mafieuses motivées par l'argent. « Ce sont des extrémistes de l'argent qui ne travaillent que pour l'argent, pas pour une idéologie », souligne-t-il, peu convaincu par l'impact potentiel d'une action militaire américaine, notamment à cause de l'ancrage local des cartels et de la résistance du Mexique à toute intervention étrangère. « L'action militaire, même avec des forces telles que celles déployées par l'État mexicain, ne fonctionne pas car les cartels contrôlent des territoires immenses et l'armée ne peut pas les atteindre. »Bertrand Monnet fait valoir que le véritable défi réside dans la lutte économique et financière contre les cartels, en particulier à travers la lutte anti-blanchiment. D'autant plus depuis que les cartels ne se contentent plus de blanchir leur argent aux États-Unis, mais utilisent des paradis fiscaux pour dissimuler leurs gains. Les États-Unis, affirme-t-il, ont la capacité de mettre plus de pression sur ces zones opaques, car « si vous touchez à l'argent blanchi, cela leur fait beaucoup plus mal qu'un drone ».À la question de savoir si le décret signé par Donald Trump pourrait avoir un effet paradoxalement négatif aux États-Unis, Bertrand Monnet répond qu'il pourrait exacerber les liens entre les cartels et l'économie légale, puisque les narcotrafiquants ont investi massivement dans les tissus économiques américains et mexicains. Mais qu'il est nécessaire de lutter contre cette infiltration, même si cela pourrait ralentir une certaine forme de croissance économique. TPS aux États-Unis, les Vénézuéliens dans l'œil du cycloneC'est l'un des premiers actes du Département de la sécurité intérieure sous l'ère Trump 2.0, révélé par le New York Times : revenir sur l'extension du Temporary Protected Status (TPS) offerte aux Vénézuéliens. Ce dispositif à visée humanitaire, qui date des années 1990, offre des papiers à certains ressortissants étrangers déjà présents sur le sol américain et dans l'incapacité de rentrer chez eux en raison de la situation sécuritaire dans leur pays d'origine. Il leur ouvre le droit de résider et de travailler aux États-Unis pour une durée de 18 mois renouvelables et les met à l'abri des opérations de la police aux frontières.Le TPS s'appliquait jusqu'ici aux citoyens d'une quinzaine de pays, dont l'Afghanistan, Haïti, le Cameroun, le Liban, la Syrie ou l'Ukraine, et dans le cas du Venezuela, bénéficiait à plus de 600 000 personnes à la date du 10 janvier 2025. Joe Biden avait pris soin, à la toute fin de son mandat, de prolonger ce système jusqu'en octobre 2026, mais son geste n'aura pas tenu longtemps. La nouvelle ministre américaine de l'Intérieur, Kristi Noem, vient de révoquer cette extension, ce qui laisse potentiellement sur le carreau ces centaines de milliers de Vénézuéliens, désormais susceptibles d'être arrêtés à tout moment et reconduits dans leur pays dans le cadre de l'opération anti-migrants décrétée par Donald Trump le 20 janvier 2025.. Robert Kennedy Jr. devant le Sénat pour son audience de confirmationC'est le neveu de l'ancien président JFK, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, c'est aussi un avocat et militant antivax, qui a propagé de fausses rumeurs sur les questions sanitaires, et Donald Trump veut en faire son ministre de la Santé. Robert Kennedy Jr., qui passe sur le grill du Sénat aujourd'hui afin de faire valider sa nomination, vient de se faire taper sur la tête par sa cousine, Caroline Kennedy, la propre fille de JFK, liée au Parti démocrate : « Avant même qu'il ne soit nommé à ce poste, son dénigrement constant de notre système de santé et les demi-vérités conspirationnistes qu'il a dites au sujet des vaccins, notamment en rapport avec l'épidémie mortelle de rougeole de 2019 à Samoa, ont coûté des vies. Superviser l'ensemble de la chaîne sanitaire et les agences chargées de protéger les plus vulnérables d'entre nous, tout cela est une énorme responsabilité. Et Bobby n'est pas qualifié pour l'assumer ».D'autres membres de la famille, y compris sa sœur et son frère, se sont prononcés contre sa désignation après certaines de ses déclarations jugées « déplorables et mensongères ». Car devant le Sénat, Robert Kennedy Jr. va devoir répondre à des questions pimentées. Prenons le calcul du Washington Post qui a compulsé plus de 400 entretiens et discours donnés en public par Robert Kennedy depuis 2020. « À plus de 35 reprises, note le Post, il a établi un lien entre les vaccins et l'autisme, contredisant toute la littérature scientifique ». Il n'a cessé de critiquer le principe même de la vaccination, qui a, selon lui, « empoisonné une génération entière d'enfants américains ». Et même créé un lobby antivax pour appuyer son propos, Children's Health Defense, le Comité de défense de la santé des enfants. Mais, nomination oblige, Robert Kennedy Jr. se défend depuis quelques semaines de toute opinion définitive sur la question, assurant que s'il est nommé, il « fournira en toute transparence aux Américains un accès total aux données scientifiques, afin qu'ils puissent faire des choix éclairés pour eux et leurs familles ». Haïti frappée par l'arrêt des financements anti-sida américainsCatastrophe en Haïti après la suspension du programme PEPFAR, le plan d'urgence américain contre le sida, déployé dans plus d'une cinquantaine de pays. Reportage à lire dans le Nouvelliste, le grand quotidien de Port-au-Prince, auprès des patients et des praticiens de plusieurs hôpitaux de la capitale haïtienne. On y lit que « si la décision est maintenue au-delà de 90 jours, dès le mois de septembre 2025 au moment de valider le budget, le ministère haïtien de la Santé publique sera en très grande difficulté compte tenu du poids que représente l'aide externe dans la lutte contre le VIH/Sida en Haïti », et que des opérations de dépistage ont déjà été mis à l'arrêt, y compris à la frontière entre Haïti et la République dominicaine.La Fondation SEROvie, présente dans les dix départements d'Haïti, se voit elle aussi forcée d'arrêter son activité alors qu'elle accompagne 9 000 patients sous traitement. Le secrétaire général de l'Association médicale haïtienne rappelle que l'aide américaine représentait jusqu'ici 90% de l'aide externe en matière de santé et qu'en l'absence de réaction immédiate des autorités haïtiennes, une catastrophe sanitaire est toute proche. L'actualité des Outre-mer avec nos confrères de la 1èreIl n'y a pas eu de miracle : les corps des quatre occupants du petit avion qui s'est écrasé en Dominique ont été localisés hier (28 janvier 2025), non loin de l'épave de l'appareil.

In recent months, desperate Haitians have crowded at immigration centers in Port-au-Prince to obtain a passport. Tens of thousands have headed towards the United States, risking life and health to cross the Darien jungle between South and Central America or crowding onto rickety boats to cross the ocean. Many have taken similar journeys towards other Caribbean shores. And a growing number are moving across the island of Hispaniola to the Dominican Republic, where they face documented abuses and the near-constant risk of deportation.This new wave of emigration adds to the long list of people who have left the country since a massive earthquake in 2010 and in the wake of violent riots that culminated in a political crisis in 2018. Challenges such as poverty, natural disasters, political crisis, and insecurity have historically driven Haitian migration, and have continued to do so in the aftermath of the July 7, 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, which led to a power vacuum. Even before Moïse's killing, about half the population lived in poverty. Dominican President Luis Abinader last year said Haiti was in the midst of a “low-intensity civil war,” underscoring the unprecedented nature of the country's implosion.Current migrants are distinct from the so-called boat people who sought humanitarian protection in the United States in recent decades, nor are they necessarily solely seeking better living conditions. They include Haitians with dual citizenship who had once chosen to raise their families in Haiti but now feel they have no choice but to leave. There are also those from the middle and upper classes who have lost hope of leading a normal life in their native land; their collective departure represents not only the movement of individuals but also a brain drain that could further erode the country's prospects and a symbol of declining optimism for the future.The United States is the most popular destination for Haitian migrants, although many are also going to Brazil, Canada, Chile, and the Dominican Republic, as well as other countries in the Caribbean, Europe, and Latin America. In recent years, many Haitians who moved to countries such as Brazil and Chile have migrated elsewhere for a second or third time as economic opportunities for Haitian migrants dried up. Because of the inherent challenges of leaving, only the most privileged have been able to afford to depart by plane, with most using land routes and a smaller number sea crossings.From October 2020 through May 2023, U.S. authorities encountered Haitians at the U.S. southwest border nearly 146,000 times (see Figure 1). From October 2022 through mid-June 2023, the U.S. Coast Guard interdicted more than 4,600 Haitian migrants at sea. As of mid-February, more than 5,000 Haitians arrived through a new humanitarian parole program that allows people in the United States to sponsor arrivals coming by plane, which has prompted the exceptional demand for Haitian passports (the program is also available to Cubans, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans); more than 580,000 Haitian cases were pending as of May. Newcomers join a population of 697,000 Haitian immigrants in the United States as of 2021. As of this January, 107,000 Haitians held Temporary Protected Status (TPS), granting them U.S. work authorization and protection from deportation through August 2024, and 105,000 more were estimated to be eligible to apply.“Now, if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole. That's going to be the least of it. It's going to be a bloodbath for the country,” Trump said during his 90-minute speech at a campaign rally on the grounds of the Dayton International Airport.
On this day in legal history, November 10, 1919, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a pivotal decision in Abrams v. United States, a case that profoundly impacted the interpretation of the First Amendment regarding free speech. This ruling upheld the 1918 Amendment to the Espionage Act of 1917, making it a criminal offense to urge the curtailment of war material production intended to hinder the U.S. war effort against Germany. The case originated when Hyman Rosansky was arrested for distributing leaflets in New York City, denouncing American intervention in Russia and advocating for the cessation of weapon production against Soviet Russia. These leaflets, printed in both English and Yiddish, led to the arrest of Rosansky and six other Russians, all of whom had emigrated from Russia to the United States.The trial, which concluded on October 23, 1919, resulted in varying sentences for the defendants. Gabriel Prober was acquitted, while Hyman Rosansky received a three-year sentence. Jacob Abrams, Hyman Lachowsky, and Samuel Lipman were each sentenced to 20 years and fined $1,000. Mollie Steimer received a 15-year sentence and a $5,000 fine.In a 7-2 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the defendants' First Amendment rights were not violated. Justice John Hessin Clarke, writing for the majority, argued that the intent to hinder war production could be inferred from the defendants' words, posing an imminent danger as per the "clear-and-present-danger" standard. However, in a powerful dissent, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. contended that free speech should only be curtailed when there is a clear and present danger of immediate evil or intent to bring it about. This dissent would later influence the legal understanding of free speech rights. The Abrams case was eventually largely overturned by Brandenburg v. Ohio in 1969, marking a significant shift in the legal stance on freedom of speech.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit recently ruled that part of the ATF's regulation on "ghost guns" exceeds the agency's authority. This rule, which targets privately made firearms without serial numbers, was deemed to conflict with the Gun Control Act. Judge Kurt D. Engelhardt emphasized that it's not within the ATF's remit to create laws, a responsibility that belongs to Congress. The court affirmed that the ATF must adhere to existing statutory limits until Congress acts. The ruling vacated and remanded parts of a lower court's decision, with Circuit Judge Andrew S. Oldham critiquing the rule as overreaching. The case stems from a challenge by manufacturers, dealers, individuals, and gun-rights groups against the Biden administration's reinterpretation of the 1968 gun law. The ATF's rule aimed to regulate ghost guns by treating disassembled frames or receivers as firearms, requiring serial numbers, background checks, and transaction records. The District Court for the Northern District of Texas had previously invalidated this rule, but the Supreme Court allowed regulation to continue pending legal proceedings. The case, VanDerStok v. Garland, is part of broader efforts to increase enforcement against untraceable ghost guns.‘Ghost Guns' Rule Exceeds ATF Authority, Appeals Court HoldsUS appeals court calls Biden's 'ghost gun' limits unlawful | ReutersThe U.S. faces a significant backlog in processing labor permits, complicating efforts to manage the influx of undocumented immigrants and alleviate labor shortages. The Biden administration's move to grant temporary work permits to almost 500,000 Venezuelans is threatened by this backlog at the immigration agency. This slowdown impacts the U.S. labor market recovery, as foreign-born workers, essential during the pandemic, now contribute less to the labor force. The backlog includes around 350,000 Temporary Protected Status (TPS) applications, mostly from Venezuelans facing long wait times. Businesses like New York's Mirror Lake Inn Resort & Spa are seeking to hire migrants through TPS for various roles, highlighting the dependency on foreign labor. Despite efforts, USCIS faces challenges due to funding issues and increased processing times, exacerbated by the pandemic. The White House's expansion of the TPS program and reliance on congressional support are critical for addressing these backlogs and easing labor market pressures.A 9 Million Backlog for American Visas Deepens the Labor CrunchDonald Trump's lawyers have requested a New York judge to issue a directed verdict in his favor in a civil fraud case, marking a critical juncture in the trial threatening his business empire. This move follows the New York Attorney General's office resting its case against Trump, his two sons, and his companies, accusing them of inflating asset values for financial gain. Despite Trump and his children testifying that they relied on accountants for financial statements, evidence indicates their involvement. The attorney general seeks $250 million in penalties and a ban on Trump's real estate activities in New York. Judge Arthur Engoron, who previously found Trump and his companies committed fraud, has yet to rule on this request. Trump, facing multiple legal challenges and leading the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, has accused the judge and attorney general of political bias.Trump's lawyers mount long-shot bid to toss NY fraud lawsuit | ReutersPhilip Postlewaite, a longtime Northwestern law professor, has sued the university for age discrimination, alleging his salary is lower than that of less experienced colleagues.

Utah has been seeing an influx in people showing interest in processing their Temporary Protected Status (TPS). About two weeks ago, the Department of Homeland Security announced the extension and redesignation of Venezuela for TPS. KSL NewsRadio Reporter Hugo Rikard-Bell joins the show with details on his conversation with Immigration Attorney Carlos Trujillo.
Biden seems to be incapable of managing and/or resolving the immigration influx that the country is recently witnessing! What is at the heart of this influx? Is this planned?Yesterday, the Department of Homeland Security extended legal protections under a federal program called Temporary Protected Status (TPS) that will allow as many as 472,000 migrants from Venezuela to live and work legally in the United States for at least the next 18 months.☎️ For Business inquiries, please go to ➡︎ show@geopoliticsinconflict.comAbout David:Dr. Oualaalou served a fifteen-year career in the United States Armed Forces in support of the US government's security agencies in Washington DC and around the world.

A new government report confirms that the Biden administration's policies accommodating illegal immigration are harming the legal immigration system.On this week's episode of Parsing Immigration Policy, Elizabeth Jacobs, the Center for Immigration Studies director of regulatory affairs and policy, joins host Mark Krikorian to discuss the findings and implications of a congressionally mandated annual report from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman, an independent office within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).USCIS administers the nation's lawful immigration system, and Jacobs (a former USCIS official) explains how its mission has been threatened by the administration's determined efforts to bring inadmissible aliens to the United States as quickly as possible and expand work authorization opportunities for aliens who lack a lawful immigration status.The discussion delves into the effects of key policies, including misuse of parole and expansion of Temporary Protected Status (TPS).Jacobs underscores the need for adherence to congressional mandates: “If USCIS leadership is serious about bolstering the legal immigration system and maintaining reasonable processing times for immigration services, it has to focus its resources on programs that have been authorized by Congress – it cannot keep creating programs that are not authorized.”In his closing commentary, Mark Krikorian, host of the podcast and executive director of the Center, discusses a new Biden administration tactic in its fight to force Texas to remove the marine barriers it has placed in the Rio Grande – specifically, cynical administration claims that the barriers are endangering a mussel species in the Rio Grande.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestElizabeth Jacobs is the Director of Regulatory Affairs and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies.RelatedUSCIS Ombudsman Confirms: Biden Policies Hobble Legal Immigration System; Report shows how inadmissible aliens are often prioritized over lawful visa holdersA Cynical Shell Game; The Biden administration's sudden concern for the Rio Grande's Mexican fawnsfoot musselVideo: Todd Bensman Explains Trash Field Left by Illegal Entrants on the Rio Grande RiverbankFollowFollow Parsing Immigration Policy on YouTube, Ricochet, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts.Intro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

This week's episode of Parsing Immigration Policy is an immigration roundup, discussing two issues in the news. The conversation highlights the recent extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation for multiple countries, and how the anti-enforcement efforts of Vice President Kamala Harris when she was in the Senate contributed to a child migrant labor explosion, and the present opportunity to change that policy in the forthcoming DHS funding bill.The Trump administration attempted to allow the “temporary” protection (including work permits) for illegal immigrants from El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua to expire, because the natural disasters that had been the reasons for that designation had long passed. It was stopped from doing so by the courts. (Hurricane Mitch, the reason that illegal aliens from Honduras and Nicaragua who were in the U.S. when it struck their home countries received this status, happened more than a quarter century ago.) Elizabeth Jacobs, the Center's director of regulatory affairs and policy, explains in this week's episode that the Biden administration has rescinded the Trump policy and renewed the “temporary” protection yet again.For his portion of the show, Jon Feere, the Center's director of investigations, brings attention to the increase of child labor brought on by the longstanding policy of handing over unaccompanied alien children (UACs) apprehended at the border to sponsors – who are often in the country illegally -- without effectively vetting them. Under the Trump administration, ICE began arresting sponsors who were here illegally. In response, then-Senator Kamala Harris put forth a bill that prohibited the arrest of these sponsors, thus potentially placing children in the care of questionable adults and encouraging the trafficking of children to our border. Feere says, “I'll put it bluntly – if you're a random illegal alien somewhere in the United States, you can go down to the border and pick up a kid and basically disappear.” A slightly modified version of Harris's bill has been attached to DHS funding bills, and the Republican majority in the House has an opportunity to remove it.In his closing commentary, host and executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies Mark Krikorian details a recent email the Center received from an illegal immigrant asking whether he's better off going to the border and asking for asylum rather than remaining in the U.S. and waiting for a long-promised amnesty.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestsJon Feere is the Director of Investigations at the Center for Immigration Studies.Elizabeth Jacobs is the Director of Regulatory Affairs and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies.RelatedDHS Continues TPS for El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, and NicaraguaBiden Administration and Congressional Democrats Facilitated ‘Explosion' in Illegal Alien Child LaborNY Post: Migrant kid labor brutality wrought by Vice President Kamala HarrisNYT Reveals Child Labor Exploitation Corresponds to Actions Taken by Harris, Biden, and MayorkasFollowFollow Parsing Immigration Policy on Ricochet, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts.Intro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

The Biden Administration will now allow Afghans in the U.S. to apply for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a designation that would protect them from deportation for 18 months, grant them a work permit, and give them authorization to travel. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) estimates that 72,500 Afghans already in the U.S. will qualify for TPS. This won't affect Afghans trying to access the U.S. who remain abroad, and doesn't guarantee permanent stay in the U.S. for those who are already here.
Julio and Maria discuss Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's address to Congress, and the recent granting of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Afghan refugees. They also dive into the lack of accountability in the police shootings of Adam Toledo and Anthony Alvarez. And, they unpack the latest government spending bill, which cut funding for COVID-19 relief and prevention. ITT Staff Picks: Months after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Biden administration extended eligibility for temporary protected status to over 70,000 Afghan refugees in the country, reports Hamed Aleaziz for Buzzfeed News. For Latino Rebels, senior editor Hector Luis Alamo writes about the announcement that no charges would be filed in the Chicago police killings of 13-year-old Adam Toledo and 22-year-old Anthony Alvarez. “Older, disabled, poor, Black, or brown Americans, whose excess deaths were tolerated long before COVID, have borne the brunt of the pandemic, while privileged people have had the swiftest access to medical interventions—and have been quickest to declare the crisis over,” writes Ed Yong for The Atlantic.

https://sfbatraining.com/ Which Non-Citizens Don't Need to Separately Apply for a Work Permit? If you are all green card holder (lawful permanent or conditional residents) automatically have permission to work in the United States. You simply need to show their green card to employers.Immigrants who go on to become U.S. citizens can, of course, work, and will be able to show their U.S. passport or naturalization certificate to employers. Further, if you are foreign nationals who have obtained work-based visas that have been sponsored by U.S. employers are also eligible to work in the United States. For example, such visas include an H-1B (for specialty workers), an L-1 visa (for intracompany transferees), an E-3 visa (only for Australians), and an E treaty trader or treaty investor visa (for employees of companies registered as treaty traders or treaty investors in the United States). Now let's move to see, How you can apply for a U.S. Work Permit (EAD) You need to fill out a one-page form, attach the fee, photos, and documents proving you're eligible, and submit it to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The catch, however, is making sure you are eligible. A work permit is available only to limited groups of immigrants, usually those who are in the process of applying for adjustment of status (a green card) or who have some temporary right to be in the United States.Also, don't confuse applying for a work permit with applying for a work visa to the United States, such as an H-1B. This is a much more complicated application process.Lets see the steps to follow to apply for US work permit. Filling Out Form I-765 The form you will use to apply for a work permit is Form I-765,Most of the form is self-explanatory. You'll fill in your name, contact information, and so on. On Question 22, they really do want your most recent entry into the U.S., even if you had been living here for a while and merely took a short trip abroad. “Manner of entry” asks about the type of visa you used to come in on. Question 27 will probably require the most effort. You'll need to look at the I-765 instructions (also on the USCIS website) to figure out which eligibility category you're in. For example, some of the most common categories include category (a)(5) for someone granted asylum, (a)(12) for people with Temporary Protected Status (TPS), (c)(3)(C) for students doing post-completion optional practical training, (c)(5) for J-2 spouses of a J-1 exchange visitor, and (c)(9) for anyone with a pending. If your category has only two letters or numbers (such as (c)(9)), don't worry about the fact that there are three spaces on the form (formed by the parentheses). Just put the “c” in the second set of parentheses and the “9” in the third.Now moving to next step that is,
There is no better time than now to lend your voice to the fight to secure a pathway to citizenship for millions of immigrants! That's why this week's episode of the Voices for Human Needs podcast is all about the ongoing efforts of grassroots advocates, allies in Congress, and directly impacted communities across the country to finally passing legislation that protects millions of Dreamers, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, and essential immigrant workers from deportation. You'll hear from long-time immigration advocates Lia Parada, who currently serves as the Director of Legislative Advocacy at The Immigration Hub, and Diana Pliego, a DACA recipient herself, and Policy Associate with the National Immigration Law Center. Lia and Diana share how programs like DACA demonstrate the profound benefits that legal status has to support the educational and professional ambitions of millions of young and talented people. We also discuss why a pathway to citizenship for the millions of essential contributors to the U.S. economy is long overdue and must be fulfilled by members of Congress. Listen in to learn how anyone can take action at the grassroots and federal policy levels to urge Congress to pass a pathway to citizenship in the upcoming budget process and infrastructure legislation.

The Supreme Court issued its unanimous decision in Sanchez v. Mayorkas on June 7, 2021. Jose Santos Sanchez, a citizen of El Salvador, entered the United States illegally in 1997. Four years later, he applied for and was granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS) then in 2014, Sanchez applied for Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) status. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services denied Sanchez' LPR application, finding him ineligible based on his illegal entry—so Sanchez sued in District Court. The court sided with Sanchez, holding that the grant of TPS automatically made Sanchez eligible for LPR consideration.On appeal, the Third Circuit reversed, finding Sanchez ineligible for LPR, based on his illegal entry, and the Supreme Court affirmed. The Court found that eligibility for LPR status under 8 U.S.C. Section 1255 requires “admission” defined as “the lawful entry of the alien into the United States after inspection and authorization by an immigration officer.” As a result, Sanchez' illegal entry made him ineligible for LPR.Joining us to discuss the decision is Hon. Grover Joseph Rees, III. Featuring:-- Hon. Grover Joseph Rees, III, retired United States Ambassador to East Timor, General Counsel of the US Immigration and Naturalization Service from 1991 through 1993

On April 19, 2021, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in the case of Sanchez v. Mayorkas. The Court will decide whether a grant of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) under the Immigration and Nationality Act satisfies the “admission” requirement laid out in section 1255(a) necessary for a grant of Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) status. In taking this case, the Court has the chance to resolve a circuit split: given the recent Third Circuit decision underlying this petition for cert, both the Third and Eleventh Circuits do not allow TPS admission to qualify for LPR admission, while the Sixth and Ninth Circuits allow LPR admission to qualify for TPS status.

In this episode of Immigration Law for Tech Startups, I’m thrilled to discuss the Biden administration’s plans for reforming the U.S. immigration system. Before I dive in, I know we’ll see meaningful changes in the U.S. under President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, from the way we govern ourselves, to our relationships with other countries and people around the world, and what immigration law will look like for startups, founders, investors, inventors, highly-skilled professionals, and families. The Biden administration will undo most of the policies that the Trump administration put into place and restore the moral imperative in the U.S to do the right thing. I will cover the six main pillars that will guide Biden’s plan to create a more fair and humane U.S. immigration system and what that means for: A startup visa A path to citizenship for Dreamers Work visas, such as the H-1B The public charge rule The green card process, including the Visa Bulletin, and green card wait times, particularly for individuals born in India and China The diversity green card Citizenship through naturalization S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) The Muslim bans Family separation at the border Asylum and refugee policies Detention and deportation Temporary Protected Status (TPS) Remember, the way you can support the United States on its new path of immigration reform is to share your story, talk with reporters or write a letter to the Senator or Congressman who represents your district. You don’t need to be a citizen to write a letter to your representative. Reporters say if people don’t tell their stories, they can’t publish the articles that make change. Your story matters. The time to share your story is now. I’m so excited about the Biden administration restoring the U.S. to its original status as a place of freedom, independence, and opportunity. Please share this episode with investors, companies, startup founders, or anyone who can benefit from it. Reach out to us if we can help you determine your immigration options whether you’re in the U.S. or abroad.

Recientemente, los miembros de la Cámara de Representantes están buscando maneras de desafiar la declaración nacional de emergencia del Presidente Trump. El Congreso no financió su muro fronterizo a lo largo de la frontera sur. Ahora, él está tratando de eludir el Congreso. Hay miembros de los partidos demócratas y republicanos que creen que la declaración de emergencia es un abuso de poder. Para aprobar una ley que rechaza la declaración, el Congreso necesitaría 67% de todos los miembros para aprobar la ley para anular un veto presidencial.En otras noticias de inmigración, un tribunal federal declaró la manera en que el intento la administración de Trump de poner fin a ciertos programas de Temporary Protected Status (TPS) no sigue las reglas para poner fin a los programas. Concretamente, TPS para Sudán, Nicaragua, Haití y el Salvador deben continuar mientras tanto.El Presidente Trump quiere cambiar las condiciones para las renovaciones de TPS, un descanso de las administraciones anteriores. Escuche a Henry explicar lo que está cambiando. Debido a esto, es posible que no veamos el TPS concedido a los Venezolanos que lo necesitan desesperadamente. A pesar de que el Presidente y su partido dicen que se oponen a maduro y su gobierno, no hemos visto un gran empuje para conceder TPS a los Venezolanos.En otras noticias, hay un informe que reclama cruces ilegales están aumentando. Esto es raro, porque los cruces fronterizos ilegales han estado en un declive constante desde la administración de George W. Bush. Una razón para el reciente aumento puede ser las políticas de inmigración del Presidente. Al hacer más difícil la inmigración legal, incentiva a la gente a recorrer el sistema.La historia de esta semana involucra a un cliente que fue a un graduado reciente y le cobró $7.000 por ayuda.

The highly politicized debate over a U.S.-Mexico border wall and intense focus on Central American caravans traveling across Mexico have elevated tensions about the best methods to manage regional migration while providing humanitarian protection to those who qualify. The composition of regional migration flows has changed significantly during the past five years, with U.S. apprehensions of migrants from the Northern Triangle countries of Central America (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) at the U.S.-Mexico border typically outpacing those of Mexican migrants, and migration shifting from predominantly single males to families and unaccompanied children. The Trump administration’s increasing arrests and removals of Mexicans and Central Americans who have lived illegally in the United States for years and its decision to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Salvadorans and Hondurans are putting pressure on home-country governments to expand reception and reintegration service capacity. This Migration Policy Institute (MPI) webinar focuses on reception and reintegration services for returning migrants, along with the heightened pressure policymakers in Mexico and Central America are facing to design systems and programs that support both returnees and the communities in which they settle. Authors of a year-long study of reception and reintegration services in Mexico and the Northern Triangle discuss the findings of their fieldwork. They focus on the differing reintegration needs of individual migrant groups, promising reception and reintegration programs, and ongoing challenges for origin communities in welcoming returnees. They also unveil short- and long-term policy recommendations to improve reintegration strategies, with the goal that successful reception and reintegration will reduce migration flows from Central America and Mexico.

Please join the CSIS Americas Program for a discussion on the current state of the Temporary Protected Status program, and its potential future impact on the Latin American and Caribbean region. Following the decision of the Trump Administration not to extend TPS for Hondurans announced on May 4, 2018, some 300,000 TPS recipients from Honduras, El Salvador, and Haiti are in jeopardy of deportation over the next year and a half, along with their dependents, including some 267,000 U.S.-born children. The event will feature a panel of ambassadors from the Latin American and Caribbean countries most affected by TPS, and the discussion will center on two major outstanding questions: first, what are the likely political, economic and human consequences in their home countries of actually deporting those individuals; and second, what are the implications for the United States of those likely developments in Central America and Haiti. The panel will feature El Salvador Ambassador Claudia Ivette Canjura de Centeno and Honduras Ambassador Marlon Ramsses Tábora Muñoz. Brief presentations by each of the panelists will be followed by a moderated discussion and audience Q&A. This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.

More than 1 million people in the United States receive temporary forms of humanitarian relief. Additionally, each year, tens of thousands are granted asylum or admitted as refugees. The Trump administration has sought to reduce these protections, by temporarily halting refugee admissions and reducing the number of refugee admissions to less than half of the prior level. Other forms of humanitarian relief, including Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Temporary Protected Status (TPS), are under threat from the administration, the courts, and Congress. In this panel, the Presidents of Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) and HIAS, joined by the head of Hispanic and Migration Affairs at the Mexican Embassy, discuss the current state of humanitarian relief and the implications of the administration's policy decisions for the most vulnerable immigrants, including refugees, TPS recipients, and children.
