#DORCAS

[Greg Siskind @gsiskind]

BREAKING - Dorcas judge says vacating of USCIS 39 countries benefits pause must take effect NOW.

"1. The Challenged Policies as a whole—the Benefits Hold Policy, the Global Asylum Hold Policy, the Comprehensive Re-Review Policy, and the
Country-Specific Factors Policy—are contrary to law and arbitrary and capricious in violation of 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A), (C). Therefore, the Challenged Policies are vacated and set aside pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 706(2).
2. Partial final judgment shall enter in favor of Plaintiffs and against the Government on Counts I and II of Plaintiffs’ Complaint (ECF No. 1).
3. Within twenty-four (24) hours, the Government shall file a status report, advising the Court as to what specific steps it has taken to comply with the
Court’s Order.
4. The Court retains jurisdiction to enforce this judgment."

@RepYassAnsari Thanks for your support

[Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @RepYassAnsari]

I’ve heard from dozens of Iranian students and researchers who complied with every immigration requirement and whose lives have been thrown into limbo by the Trump Administration's deportation chaos.

I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support my bill, the Iranian Temporary Immigration Relief Act.

[Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸 @JudiciaryDems]

Sen. WELCH: The Trump Administration has a very radical goal: mass deportation. Dreamers, DACA recipients, and folks here legally. I oppose that. They’re willing to go to abusive lengths. The cruelty creates fear and anxiety in targeting legal immigrants.

[David J. Bier @David_J_Bier]

@StephenM Actually the case was about how you violated the limits on legal immigration Congress set

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

My mom immigrated to America when she was two.

I’m proud to be the son of an immigrant.

The thought of taking something as precious as citizenship away from her because of “political views” isn’t right.

And it’s not the America she was trying to be a part of.

[Lee Kuan Yimby @LeeKuanYimby]

Iranian immigrants to the west are top tier.

If today’s immigration rules and USCIS holds had been in place in the past, the U.S. would have missed out on these successful and important Iranians: @dkhos @AnoushehAnsari @PardisSabeti @pierre @AndreAgassi @arashf @tweetsoutloud @shervin @hadip @omidkordestani @apartovi

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Again, this would be deliberately stabbing the U.S. economy in the back. It would cause enormous economic damage and disrupt air travel nationwide, as airlines would be forced to cancel flights en masse.

That he’s even contemplating this publicly is a sign of madness.

[James Blunt @JBlunt1018]

USCIS used to stand for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Now the more apt name would be U.S. Denaturalization and Deportation Services.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

My mom’s naturalization certificate sits on the credenza behind my desk in the Capitol, so anyone who walks into my office knows that I am proud to be the son of an immigrant.

[Mehdi Yahyanejad @mehdiy_fa]

The problem of messing with the 14th Amendment is that you end up with an alienated undocumented society living in America for generations, devoid of proper rights. Something similar to what happened to guest-worker Turks who helped rebuild Germany after WWII.

[Felicity @FHMTHR]

My research on Alzheimer’s disease focuses on uncovering metabolic dysfunction in brain cells, that can help change millions of lives. #USCISpause don’t just affect individuals; they risk slowing critical scientific progress in the U.S. @SenMullin @marcorubio #LiftTheHold

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

There's zero reason to force people who have already legally spent years building a life here to leave the country to apply for a green card. These aren’t the hardened criminals the Administration says it goes after. It's just making life harder for people who are already contributing to our communities and takes workers and businessowners away from building up our economy.

[Neda S @NedaSa_]

There should not be a two-tier immigration system based on country of birth.

Legally present Iranians who have lived in the U.S. for years have been stuck in USCIS processing pauses since December with no clear timeline or explanation.

These are vetted people who followed the rules and built their lives here.

Legal immigration should not depend on where someone was born.

[Jason Shepherd @JasonSynaptic]

The attacks on science in the US are multifaceted. I came to the US on a student visa and had my own share of issues with immigration, but nothing like folks are facing now. To the legal immigration haters...bringing in the best of the best from the world made the US a power.

[Mehdi Yahyanejad @mehdiy_fa]

چندتا پست برعلیه قوانین مهاجرستیز اخیر در آمریکا گذاشتم و هر کدامشان صدها نظر از باتهایی که ضد مهاجرت گرفت. کاملا هم معلومه که خیلی از اینها بات هستند چون نوع پستهاشون مصنوعی بنظر میاد و نظراتشان بازدید خیلی کمی(تک رقمی) میگیره که نشان میده خودشان مخاطبی ندارند و اگر کسی نظرشان را دیده مخاطب حساب من بوده که نظرات را خوانده و بازدیدش ثبت شده. اینها تا حدی هم افت توییتر رو نشان میده. با خرید توییتر توسط ایلان ماسک، توییتر بیشتر به سمت راست رفت و تا حدی جولانگاه اینفلونسرهای راست افراطی و ضد مهاجرت شد. خود این انفلونسرها هم توسط این باتها کمک میشوند.

[Mehran Karimzadeh @MKarimzade]

So easy to stay silent and ignore the consequences of immigration policies when we think it won't impact us. Any scientist of any nationality leaving the US because of these restrictions will impact our economy and every day lives in the long run. Contact your representatives!
