If you're wondering who Katie Miller is and why high-level officials keep going on her podcast: She made a name for herself during the first Trump administration by denying that the Department of Homeland Security was separating families. This year, she was an adviser to the Department of Government Efficiency, a brilliant effort that did not in fact save money but certainly did destroy a lot of goods and services!
The company told staff in a December newsletter that employees eligible for PERM would hear from its outside lawyers in Q1, according to a copy of the memo seen by Business Insider. PERM allows employees to move from working on a visa to securing a green card. Tech companies commonly use it to transition staff from H-1 B status to a green card, which allows them to live and work permanently in the US.
She shared a segment from her show on social media and wrote, If I had to summarize the first year of President Trump's second term in one word, it would be: dignity. From his foreign policy to his domestic policy to his immigration policy, the goal has been restoring the dignity of the forgotten working-class men & women of this country.
The story of Elise Stefanik's political rise and fall is a parable of a young woman's all-consuming drive for political stardom and her crushing downfall at the hands of a despotic tyrant. Stefanik was the youngest woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. A Harvard educated liberal with political ambitions, she was skilled at impressing people with her intelligence and work ethic.
What recourse are you left with when a government program simply stops doing the thing that is its primary purpose, and refuses to explain why? That's what hundreds of parents, family members and legal guardians have presumably been wondering about the United States Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) in the last few months, given an explosive report published today by NPR affiliate KERA News, which alleges that ORR, the agency tasked with caring for "unaccompanied" minors and reuniting them with vetted sponsors,
US homeland security chief Kristi Noem said late on Thursday that President Donald Trump ordered her to pause the diversity visa lottery which was used by the suspect at the Brown University shooting. "At President Trump's direction, I am immediately directing USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) to pause the DV1 program to ensure no more Americans are harmed by this disastrous program."
New guidance issued on Tuesday directs the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) field offices to "supply Office of Immigration Litigation with 100-200 denaturalization cases per month" next year, according to The New York Times. Denaturalization is extremely rare. Per the Times, Justice Department figures say that only about 120 denaturalization cases had been filed since 2017, in sharp contrast to the potentially thousands of cases the administration is seeking to file in just one year.

"You look like you've got quite a smile on your face," Greene said, as House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chair Rep. James Comer (R-KY) banged his gavel and told her not to "attack the witness." This angered Greene, who said it was "my time" and that she was "reclaiming her time." Comer continued to tell her to stop attacking the witness, but Greene kept going "Don't you dare smile about the murder of Laken Riley," Greene said.
something I personally don't think is a bad idea in and of itself, even if it would almost certainly extend the already interminable processing time of two years for citizenship applications. Screening would likely mean each individual who applies for citizenship would be assessed on the basis of their personal views, whether expressed on social media or ascertained through some kind of interview the exact model is likely to take some time to work out.
During his opening monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live! the host branded the scheme the Get Into America Express Card, mocking its explicit transactional logic and its break from decades of immigration rhetoric. This is a card that will allow wealthy foreigners to live here, Kimmel said. For a million bucks, you get legal visitor status. You get a pathway to citizenship and a presidential pardon for one major crime of your choosing.
A federal court in Maryland has ordered the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from ICE custody on Thursday, and he will be advised on his release conditions in his separate Tennessee criminal case. The case of Abrego, a Salvadorian national who was a construction worker in Maryland, has become a proxy for the partisan struggle over Donald Trump's sweeping immigration policy and mass deportation agenda.
Democrat Eileen Higgins was elected mayor of Miami on Tuesday night in a stunning upset victory that reversed a run of recent Republican successes in Florida. The election of Higgins, 61, a former county commissioner, also added to a string of Democratic wins across the country that have served to highlight the growing level of resistance to Donald Trump in his second presidential term.
By the numbers: Two-thirds of Americans - including majorities of independents and many Republicans - support preserving the 14th Amendment's guarantee of citizenship to those born in the U.S., the survey found. Roughly 8 in 10 Black Protestants favor keeping birthright citizenship, and solid majorities of Hispanic Catholics and Hispanic Protestants support it as well. Even among Trump's most supportive religious constituency - white evangelical Protestants - 53% say the Constitution's guarantee should stand.
A new bill aims to make it significantly harder to obtain - or keep - Italian citizenship, with proposals ranging from testing knowledge of Italian culture to making it possible to leave people stateless. The hard-right, anti-immigration party presented the bill to the Chamber of Deputies on Monday, saying it believed Italians wanted tighter limits after a failed referendum in June on easing citizenship requirements. "Citizenship is a serious matter and must be treated as such," said Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, the League's leader.
Eileen Higgins has taken the bull by the horns in the Miami mayoral race, launching a fierce attack against President Donald Trump's immigration agenda, which she claims has caused much pain in this city of immigrants. The regret of those who supported the Republican president and now face the consequences of his policies, which directly affect their families, is emerging as her trump card.
