""homeland defenders""
""Fork in the Road""
USCIS is shifting from processing lawful immigration benefits toward an enforcement role under the Trump administration. Administration officials have encouraged early retirements, ended collective bargaining agreements, and cut back programs that facilitate legal migration. Job postings emphasize hiring 'homeland defenders' and combating fraud. Director Joseph Edlow stated that 'at its core, USCIS must be an immigration enforcement agency.' The shift has lowered morale, prompted resignations, and led at least 1,300 federal employees to accept a 'Fork in the Road' resignation offer. Immigrants, families, and advocates report increased fear and hesitation about pursuing legal immigration pathways.
