It's never been lawful to enter a home without a judicial warrant (absent exigent circumstances). This is a sign that pushback works.

The H-1B lottery’s limits, rising costs, and uncertainty make it clear that employers and professionals need alternatives. EB-1A and EB-2 NIW offer pathways to permanent residency based on merit and impact. Read how on #ThinkImmigration from @AILANational bit.ly/4cFmC3c

Early childhood education programs rely heavily on immigrant labor, and in the wake of President Trump’s aggressive crackdown on immigration, fear of federal agents has forced them to change how they operate. trib.al/dJnF4Jo
A win for common sense and compassion: a bipartisan effort in the House to advance protections for 350,000 Haitians. I join @AILANational in applauding this Congressional action, which “we hope is a harbinger of more sensible measures to come.” bit.ly/4ta07ue

THE DEATH OF DUE PROCESS: this is what it looks like when an administration wants to stack the deck against a fair day in court. The message that has been sent to every immigration judge is that if you ever rule against the administration, you will be fired.

Birthright citizenship isn’t a loophole. It’s rooted in the 14th Amendment and recognizes that children born here are part of our communities, able to fully participate in American life. Ending it would create a permanent underclass of stateless children with nowhere to go.

Despite this very limited rollback, the Trump administration is still sitting on hundreds of thousands of applications while refusing to make any decisions in their cases.
People are losing jobs and risking deportation because the U.S. government refuses to do its job.

A slowdown in US visa processing is wreaking havoc on foreign doctors’ lives dlvr.it/TRplzq
The Administration asked SCOTUS to rewrite over 150 years of birthright citizenship precedent, and the skepticism from the Court was unmistakable. The Fourteenth Amendment is clear: children born in the U.S. are U.S. Citizens regardless of parentage. bit.ly/4bUVZqE

If the Trump administration wins at the Supreme Court (an unlikely option), a birth certificate would no longer be proof of citizenship. That's a change that would impact hundreds of millions of Americans.
As detention expands & bond hearings disappear, federal court is often the only path to freedom for our clients. Immigration attorneys don’t need to be habeas experts overnight, but we do need to be ready. This gives great info & resources to get started. bit.ly/3OcKPpl

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵
Deploying ICE to airports puts everyone, immigrants and U.S. citizens alike, at serious risk. I completely agree with fellow @AILANational member Andrew Nietor: this is "expansion of an enforcement agency into spaces where it does not belong." bit.ly/3PxOOx5
What is the public charge ground of inadmissibility and what’s next for immigrants accessing public benefits? This new #ThinkImmigration blog post dives into the history of the public charge rule and current state of play. bit.ly/4taDoOv

"The Trump administration’s immigration enforcement arm is requesting unfettered access to what is considered to be the most comprehensive government database of people in the United States and their most private information, including...children." bit.ly/47FhtX0
