Guiding the Journey to Citizenship: Alice Warren's Commitment to Immigrant Communities

This episode features Alice Warren who is a retired middle school social studies and history teacher. In her retirement she finds herself very busy with a variety of community projects but she is deeply committed to helping immigrants and refugees with the citizenship and naturalization process. It started in 1998 when she assisted a school custodian with his preparation for the civics test. He passed - and she was hooked - thus adapting her curriculum to include giving the citizenship test to all of her students. In her current role, she works to empower adult learners in weekly classes with information about U.S. history, critical thinking about the constitution and various areas of the test, as well as extensive preparation for the oral interview with USCIS. She has fostered community partnerships with agencies who provide legal services to eligible green card holders and personally assists students with the various application components. Throughout her citizenship course she reminds students of the comprehensive documents that are mandatory to certify their work and immigration status, including tax returns, pay stubs, and marriage certificates. She personally drives many students to legal appointments and always celebrates when someone achieves naturalization. She is a true mentor handling each case with deep care, immense support, and confidentiality. She shares recent changes in the naturalization process including a long list of countries where immigrants and refugees now face enormous obstacles and delays when applying for citizenship. Additionally, she shares the frustration over the prolonged wait times for appointments and the difficulty in gaining general information with the many changes in USCIS policies.

En este episodio, el abogado Jonathan Shaw aclara la confusión sobre dos listas de restricciones por país que están afectando procesos de inmigración: la lista de 39 países (con pausas y restricciones más amplias) y la lista de 75 países (enfocada principalmente en visas inmigrantes desde el consulado). Explica cómo estas medidas pueden impactar tanto a personas dentro de EE. UU. esperando decisiones de USCIS como a familias fuera del país en trámite consular, y por qué (según él) conviene seguir aplicando aunque haya demoras. En este episodio hablamos de: Diferencias clave entre la lista de 39 y la lista de 75 países y qué “bloquea” cada una.Qué pasa con asilo afirmativo, ajuste de estatus y otros beneficios cuando hay “pausas” en decisiones.Ejemplos prácticos con países de habla hispana: Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia, Uruguay, Brasil, Guatemala, Nicaragua.Recomendación central: meterse en la fila y no detener trámites como el I-130, aunque exista restricción temporal.Panorama legal: menciona demandas federales y que las medidas provienen de órdenes ejecutivas.Ronda rápida de preguntas: TPS, F-1, EB-2 NIW, citas con ICE/ISAP, apelaciones (BIA), asilo negado, y más.  Contenido informativo general; no sustituye asesoría legal individual.

Ese “limbo” puede generar ansiedad… pero también puede ser una pausa estratégica en un momento donde el ambiente en corte se percibe más duro. Además, analizamos una noticia sobre el reclutamiento de jueces de inmigración y el cambio de narrativa hacia “jueces de deportación”, incluyendo el uso de campañas en redes, incentivos salariales y la incorporación de abogados militares (JAG). En este episodio hablamos de: Qué significa realmente que “no te aprobaron” el asilo afirmativo (y por qué no siempre es “perder”).Por qué a algunas personas no las remiten a corte y cómo aprovechar ese tiempo para fortalecer el caso.Reclutamiento de jueces: sueldos, bonos, y el enfoque de “deportación” vs “inmigración”.Presiones en corte: preterm, riesgo de procesos acelerados y límites a apelaciones.Mensajes para desanimar: “Do you just want to go home?” y el contexto de salidas voluntarias/CBP Home.Preguntas del público: cierres de caso, biométricos, mandamus, terceros países y citas con ICE.  Contenido informativo general; no sustituye asesoría legal individual.

A new episode of the Center for Immigration Studies podcast examines the U visa program, originally created by Congress in 2000 under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), and explains how a narrowly tailored law-enforcement tool has evolved into a large-scale immigration benefit program, riddled with fraud and abuse.The U visa was designed to help law enforcement agencies detect, investigate, and prosecute crimes by offering legal status to unlawfully present victims of serious crimes who might otherwise be reluctant to have contact with authorities, in exchange for their cooperation. Congress capped the program at 10,000 visas annually, excluding family members.Key findings discussed in the episode include:The program has been overwhelmed, with roughly 250,000 pending applications from principal applicants and 150,000 more from family members – about 400,000 total cases.The surge is not driven by increased victimization, but by policy changes under the Biden administration that created incentives to apply regardless of merit.Under the Biden administration, applicants received work permits and protection from deportation upon filing an application, even before meaningful vetting or adjudication.USCIS officers were stripped of authority to place fraudulent applicants into deportation proceedings, eliminating consequences for false or frivolous filings.Evidence of abuse includes staged crimes, forged law-enforcement certifications, and an underground industry marketing the U visa as a means to a work permit.An internal USCIS study found that one-fifth of applicants were already in removal proceedings when they applied.Some sanctuary states, including California and Illinois, have leveraged the U visa as an amnesty tool, pressuring local law-enforcement agencies to certify applications.Recommendations include:Administrative actions to prioritize legitimate cases and reopen questionable approvals.Congressional reforms to restrict benefits before approval and tighten statutory eligibility.State and local standards for certification, centralized review, and increased oversight.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration StudiesGuestJessica Vaughan is the Director of Policy Studies at the Center for Immigration StudiesRelatedThe U Visa ProgramTrump Sends His ‘Ace Reliever' Tom Homan to MinneapolisImmigration Newsmaker: A Conversation with ICE Deputy Director Tom HomanIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

The citizenship interview is the final stage of becoming a U.S. citizen. It is when the U.S. government determines your eligibility to become an American based on all the information and documentation you've provided up to this point. During the citizenship interview, a USCIS officer will ask questions about your naturalization application (Form N-400) and questions you're required to study for the citizenship test, which takes place during the interview.

College grads now make up a record 25% of unemployed. And their unemployment rate is now higher than high school grads. College degrees ain't what they used to be.   Post Andrew Branca Show @TheBrancaShow This isn't radical—it's black-letter immigration law being restated. The proposed Re-Migration Act of 2025/2026 (H.R. ___) amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to require DHS and USCIS to review naturalizations issued since 1965 for fraud, criminal concealment, or ineligibility. The legal standard is simple: preponderance of the evidence (51%). If citizenship was obtained through false statements, omissions, visa fraud, welfare fraud, or concealed criminal history, it can be revoked—because fraud voids consent ab initio. That principle has existed for decades. Naturalization is not magic. It is a conditional legal status dependent on truthful disclosure and lawful conduct. If someone lied at the visa stage, lied at the green-card stage, or lied at naturalization, the chain collapses—and denaturalization follows as a matter of law. That's not punishment. It's correction of fraud.   FEMINISM WAS CREATED TO END CHRISTIANITY? “The dragon, I really think, is feminism.” - Author Carrie Gress explains that until we get to the heart of what's feeding abortion, which is she says is “really feminism” we're not going to be able to not going to be able to end it.

One common problem about filing Form I-130 is that some cases receive a Request for Evidence letter. This is a letter that USCIS will issue if they feel that the information submitted with your case is not strong enough, and therefore does not make the USCIS officer believe that there is a bonafide relationship.

Will we see the sun set on the EB-5 program, replaced by Trump's so-called fast and flexible Gold Cards? All is revealed in our analysis of what to expect in 2026.We revisit a year defined by disruption. The return of Trump-era immigration policies, categorized by renewed travel bans and tighter restrictions, collided with a USCIS adjudication crisis in which requests for evidence and denials reached historic highs. Together, these forces reshaped the EB-5 landscape, driving investor caution.  Yet, it was not all bad news. Game changing legal developments, including the landmark ruling in Battineni v. Mayorkas, began to recalibrate source of funds expectations, pushing back unreasonable document demands and offering much needed clarity for attorneys and investors alike.This episode also explores the growing ‘American Exodus' as record numbers of U.S. citizens seek second passports, foreign residency and global ‘plan B' options amid political and economical uncertainty. So, whether you're weighing EB-5 against the Gold Card, navigating USCIS scrutiny, or exploring global ‘plan B' options, tune in for the insight and foresight you need to navigate 2026 with confidence.

In a special year-end episode of Parsing Immigration Policy, Executive Director Mark Krikorian is joined by CIS Director of Policy Studies Jessica Vaughan and Fellow in Law and Policy Andrew Arthur for a comprehensive review of one of the most consequential years for U.S. immigration policy in modern history and a forecast of what to expect in 2026.The discussion examines a sweeping series of executive actions and reforms that dramatically reshaped border security, interior enforcement, and immigration programs. Among the most consequential developments: the resumption of border wall construction; reinvigoration of the Remain in Mexico program; limits on asylum claims by illegal entrants; expanded military support at the border; and a renewed emphasis on interior enforcement.Perhaps most significant for the long term, the panel notes, was the passage of the Laken Riley Act – landmark legislation enacted in direct response to illegal alien crime, widespread detention failures, and mass parole abuse under the Biden administration. Unlike executive orders, the act can't simply be undone by a future administration and is expected to shape immigration enforcement for years to come.The episode revisits predictions made last year and looks ahead to 2026 with forecasts including:A heavier emphasis on worksite enforcement.Kilmar Abrego Garcia will be removed to a country in the Western Hemisphere.Expanded fraud investigations by USCIS across visa and asylum programs.President Trump will withdraw the U.S. from the U.N. refugee treaty.Push for legalization of mixed-status families.A major no-match letter initiative.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration StudiesGuestJessica Vaughan is the Director of Policy at the Center for Immigration StudiesAndrew Arthur is the Fellow in Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration StudiesIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

Justice is coming. Economy Canada Trying to Find Trade Partners   Prime Minister Mark Carney reflects a particular reality of the problem their economy will face in 2026. It appears that Canadian government officials have finally recognized the Trump administration plans to dissolve the USMCA or what Canada calls CUSMA next year.  With that reality they have a big problem. Mexico has been working throughout the year to initiate economic policies in alignment with the United States.  However, structurally and politically this is an alignment that is impossible for Canada to do.  Like many contracting European countries, the economic policies of Canada are centered around their climate change agenda and green energy goals. In order for Canada to position their economy to be in alignment with the rest of North America (USA and Mexico), Carney would have to reverse years of legislated rules and regulations.  That is not going to happen, and Canada will always be at a disadvantage because of it.   With three quarters of their economic production tied to exports into the USA, and with the USMCA likely to be dissolved in favor of a bilateral trade agreement, Canada now has to find other markets for its products or lower all the trade barriers currently in place.  Prime Minister Mark Carney is trying to find alternative markets. Carney has looked toward Europe, but that is a closed trade bloc difficult to engage.  Carney has looked to southeast Asia, but that is an export driven market with limited capabilities to import costly western products.  Carney has looked to Japan and China, but on scale there's little to be gained. The question is, where can Canada send its products if not to the USA.   The brutally honest answer is nowhere.  There just isn't any other market, or combination of markets, who could replace the consumer base of the USA.  Canada is refusing to admit this reality and 2026 is going to be a harsh awakening for the Canadian people.

Source: newsmax.com Medical/False Flags [DS] Agenda Biden Housing Scandal EXPLODES: HUD Report Reveals Over $5 Billion in Questionable Rental Aid, Including Payments to Dead People and Non-Citizens  A bombshell federal report has blown the lid off yet another massive Biden-era taxpayer scandal — this time inside the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. According to HUD's own Fiscal Year 2025 Agency Financial Report, more than $5 billion in rental assistance payments during the final year of the Biden regime were flagged as “questionable” or improper, exposing systemic failures, nonexistent oversight, and breathtaking incompetence at the federal level. Among the most jaw-dropping revelations: tens of thousands of payments were made to people who were already DEAD, and thousands more went to recipients who may not have even been eligible to receive taxpayer-funded housing assistance at all, the New York Post first reported. Buried in the HUD report is a stunning admission that federal systems failed to stop payments to 30,054 deceased individuals who were either still listed as active tenants or continued receiving rental assistance after their deaths. HUD officials acknowledged that only after cross-checking Treasury databases did they finally identify the scope of the problem — meaning for years, taxpayers were unknowingly footing the bill for people who no longer exist. “[Over] 30,000 dead people receiving housing isn't an accident — it was systematic fraud by Biden and the left. HUD will hold those who defrauded the American taxpayers accountable,” HUD Secretary Scott Turner wrote on X. According to the report:   “large concentration” of these questionable rental assistance funds flowed to Democrat-run strongholds, including: New York California Washington, D.C. Yet payments to deceased recipients were found in all 50 states, proving the rot was nationwide. Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/2006068825272508679?s=20   to U.S. citizens. See 8 U.S.C. § 1623(a). There are no exceptions. Virginia violates it nonetheless. This court should put an end to this and permanently enjoin the enforcement of provisions of the Virginia Education Code that directly conflict with federal immigration law. Virginia Code §§ 23.1-502 and 23.505.1 explicitly classify illegal aliens as Virginia residents based on certain conditions. That classification makes illegal aliens eligible for reduced in-state tuition and state-administered financial assistance for public state colleges and universities while U.S. citizens from other states are ineligible for the reduced tuition and must pay higher out-of-state tuition rates. This is not only wrong but illegal. The challenged act's discriminatory treatment in favor of illegal aliens over U.S. citizens is squarely prohibited and preempted by federal law, which provides that “an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible on the basis of residence within a State . . . for any postsecondary education benefit unless a citizen or national of the United States is eligible for such a benefit . . . without regard to whether the citizen or national is such a resident.” 8 U.S.C. § 1623(a) (emphasis added). The challenged act, as applied to illegal aliens, is thus unconstitutional under the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution. This Court should declare Virginia's law, as applied to illegal aliens, preempted and permanently enjoin its enforcement.” https://twitter.com/jonesville/status/2006273719602475506?s=20 https://twitter.com/thehoffather/status/2006240702213099815?s=20 https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/2006327355166589007?s=20 https://twitter.com/MZHemingway/status/2006031707724546400?s=20 https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/2006038706893836481?s=20 https://twitter.com/HansMahncke/status/2006393802714439774?s=20 https://twitter.com/amuse/status/2006028437899862286?s=20  Patronage System here in America AND help them successfully assimilate. https://twitter.com/HHS_Jim/status/2006136004294664464?s=20  against the blatant fraud that appears to be rampant in Minnesota and across the country: 1.

WATCH: Karoline Leavitt Says Trump “Not Afraid to Use Denaturalization” Against Somali Fraudsters — Search Warrants Being Executed and “People Will be in Handcuffs” Denaturalization, also known as revocation of naturalization, is the legal process by which the U.S. government revokes the citizenship of a naturalized U.S. citizen, effectively stripping them of their citizenship status. This is not a process that private individuals can initiate or “do” themselves; it is exclusively handled by the federal government through judicial proceedings in U.S. district court. It cannot be done administratively by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) alone, following a court ruling in 2000 that limited such authority. Grounds for DenaturalizationUnder the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), denaturalization can only occur based on specific legal grounds. These include: The individual did not meet statutory requirements for naturalization at the time, such as lawful permanent residence, good moral character, required periods of residence or physical presence, or attachment to the principles of the U.S. Constitution (INA 316 and INA 340(a)).  The person hid key information or lied during the naturalization process (e.g., on Form N-400 or in interviews), and this directly led to approval. The fact must be “material,” meaning it could have influenced the decision (INA 340(a); see Supreme Court case Kungys v. United States, 485 U.S. 759 (1988)). Within five years after naturalization, the person joins or affiliates with the Communist Party, a totalitarian party, or a terrorist organization, which is seen as evidence of lacking attachment to the U.S. Constitution (INA 313, INA 340(c), and INA 316(a)(3)). For those who naturalized based on U.S. military service, revocation can occur if they receive a discharge under other-than-honorable conditions before completing at least five years of honorable service (INA 328(f) and INA 329(c)). These grounds apply only to naturalized citizens (those who went through the full process, including application, interview, approval, and oath). U.S.-born citizens cannot be denaturalized under these provisions. The process is initiated and pursued by the government, not individuals. Here’s a high-level overview:  USCIS or other agencies (like the Department of Homeland Security) identify potential cases through audits, investigations, or tips about fraud or ineligibility. If there’s sufficient evidence, USCIS refers the case to the Department of Justice (DOJ) via the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Coordination happens through USCIS’s Office of the Chief Counsel. Judicial Proceedings: The DOJ files a complaint in federal district court under INA 340(a). The government must prove its case by “clear, convincing, and unequivocal evidence” that leaves no doubt. This is a high standard, and the process can take years. Criminal Revocation: If the case involves fraud, the DOJ may pursue criminal charges under 18 U.S.C. 1425 (unlawful procurement of citizenship). A conviction automatically revokes naturalization under INA 340(e), with proof required beyond a reasonable doubt. If the court rules in favor of revocation, it issues an order canceling the Certificate of Naturalization, which the person must surrender. Citizenship is revoked retroactively to the original naturalization date, reverting the individual to their prior immigration status (often lawful permanent resident, but this could lead to deportation proceedings under INA 237). USCIS updates records and notifies the Department of State. Denaturalization is rare—historically, around 22,000 cases occurred in the 20th century, often tied to wartime or political contexts—but it has been used more in recent years for fraud cases. https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2006013185355112758?s=20   fraud in a ginormous scale.

The Trump administration is ready to roll out new limits on asylum seekers, refugee processing, and even green card reviews after a suspected radicalized Afghan national was charged in the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. President Trump and Homeland Security officials say the move is part of an effort to tighten vetting and shift the burden of proof for those already in the U.S., including refugees admitted during the Biden years. Ken Cuccinelli, former USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) director and current Senior Fellow for Homeland Security, joined host Jessica Rosenthal on the Rundown this past week to explain what these new rules mean for Afghan refugees and the other 19 travel ban countries. Cuccinelli described the vetting system as needing improvement, saying that certain migrants from certain countries cannot be effectively vetted and should not be allowed into America. And in some cases, if they're already here, they should be deported. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.

If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." As is so often the case, he was right. He likely didn't foresee the onset of electric vehicles and the climate scolds' touting of them to prevent the planet from catching on fire; those were subsidized before they ever moved in the first place. But those subsidies are gone now, and so a bunch of people who worked on vehicles and batteries are finding themselves out of work. General Motors is laying off thousands of UAW-represented workers at factories that make electric vehicles and EV batteries as it retrenches from EVs after the end of federal subsidies and the elimination of some emissions regulations. GM plans to lay off more than 3,300 hourly workers at plants across Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee starting in January. Of those, more than 1,700 are being laid off indefinitely, while more than 1,500 are expected to be called back in mid-2026. That's a nice way of saying "The federal gravy train isn't running anymore, so we will have to go back to making cars that people want to buy." That's how it should be, of course, but we should note that these subsidies were products of the previous administration, and if economic reality is here, as in, anywhere on the North American continent, then the Biden administration's economic policy was somewhere out past the Horsehead Nebula, and lost in space. Source: redstate.com Trump Ends Biden Policy of Automatically Extending Work Permits for Migrants President Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is ending a policy that automatically extended work permits for millions of migrants in the United States. The policy change, announced by DHS officials on Wednesday, means that migrants seeking extensions of their work permits will now have to undergo “screening and vetting” before such an extension is granted.   “USCIS is placing a renewed emphasis on robust alien screening and vetting, eliminating policies the former administration implemented that prioritized aliens' convenience ahead of Americans' safety and security,” Edlow said in a statement: It's a commonsense measure to ensure appropriate vetting and screening has been completed before an alien's employment authorization or documentation is extended...
