We honor Laken Riley's memory and hold her family in our hearts during this tragic time. At Aliento, we uphold truth and reconciliation as core values, which compels us to also highlight how the Laken Riley Act may unintentionally impact innocent individuals, including students.
BREAKING and HUGE: USCIS will issue refunds for the filing fees for those who filed for the Keeping Families Together Parole In Place program that was blocked by TX district court last October. #KFT
USCIS rep said that no formal denials would be issued, which is a bit strange because it means that the applications would remain pending, but perhaps be admin closed (not sure).
Based on posts some have already received the checks issued by Treasury.

Okay, the complaint is now circling on listservs. I can confirm that it is against Keeping Families Together.
Once again, Texas teamed up with Stephen Miller’s organization America First Legal Foundation, which is giving Texas free legal services through a partnership.

New! It seems likely that 16 states GOP AGs filed a lawsuit yesterday to block the Biden admin’s new Keeping Families Together program for undocumented spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens.
Theoretically possible this lawsuit is about something else, but I doubt it.
This will probably blow up with the all caps sirens folks so here is some clarification.
-BEFORE this order: if you registered with the state form and did not provide documented proof of citizenship you would be registered as a FEDERAL ONLY voter.
-AFTER this order: FEDERAL ONLY voters can ONLY register with a federal form.
Things this order does NOT do:
-Invalidate or purge FEDERAL ONLY voters.
-Anything to anyone already registered to vote.
BREAKING: SCOTUS, on a 5-4 vote, allows Arizona to enforce AZ law requiring "documentary proof of citizenship" to register to vote on state forms, but, over 3 noted dissents, keeps other parts of the law blocked applying that requirement to those registering w/ the federal form.
NEW: we finally have info about the process for applying for the new #ParoleInPlace for certain spouses and stepchildren of US citizens. Key info below. USCIS guide here: https://t.co/nUG96eZwZY
#DACA’s future is uncertain, & the program's closure to new applicants leaves many in limbo. Renewal risks the livelihoods of current recipients. We're also missing out on the untapped potential of those who can’t apply. If you're eligible, renew now. 🦋 https://t.co/wCkzfjGhG9
🚨The AZ Supreme Court has confirmed that Prop 314 will be on the ballot! This anti-immigrant measure is a clear reminder of the importance of our vote.🗳️ Let’s show up and make our voices heard.

Today, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the legality of H-4 EAD — a critical program we've fought to protect. This is the right decision. Tremendously successful policies like the H-4 EAD rule support families, strengthen the economy, and help the U.S. stay globally competitive. https://t.co/360zzagBit
