Dystopian development in PM-602-0192/4 USCIS hold litigation: Post-Dorcas, the U.S. Marshals Service had identified at least 6 credible death threats. Both @DHSGenCounsel & @LauraLoomer should be investigated for inspiring such anarchy.

Some good news for a change! A judge ruled that Trump’s freeze on processing immigration applications for 39 countries is illegal and that processing must restart immediately.

This ruling is a step in the right direction. Let’s keep up the fight.

[ISA-Alliance @ISA_Alliance]

The court tossed the unlawful halt, but applicants await action. @USCIS and @DHSgov continue delaying. Rulings are binding. Act on this decision immediately. #USCISPause #LiftTheHold https://t.co/ac1c1Fkw7Z

WOW after USCIS Joe ignores the court decision, the judge orders him to comply with the law and the decision to stop discriminating against certain nationalities and DO HIS JOB

[Curtis Morrison @curtismorrison]

.@USCISJoe struggles to understand what this means:
“Each of the Challenged Policies—the Global Asylum Hold Policy, the Benefits Hold Policy, the Comprehensive Re-Review Policy, and the Country-Specific Factors
Policy—are declared unlawful and are hereby VACATED and SET ASIDE.”

@RepYassAnsari These are not criminals. They are students, researchers, doctors, engineers, and neighbors who followed every rule and helped build America’s future. Using their lives as political collateral is cruel, reckless, and deeply un-American. Thank you for standing up for them.

[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.

A federal judge ruled that DHS illegally froze green cards, work permits, and naturalization for people from 39 countries — while pocketing $1 billion in application fees. It’s a major court win, says Cato’s @David_J_Bier, but half of all legal immigrants abroad are still blocked. https://t.co/1VhsDBKeaN

Republican-appointed judge: “The Court is not aware of another occasion in the history of the United States in which a federal court has had to threaten contempt — again and again and again — to force the United States government to comply with court orders.”

[Curtis Morrison @curtismorrison]

Dorcas order enjoining USCIS hold came out 3 days ago. USCIS website still doesn't mention it.

Con la decisión de la corte federal que determinó que la pausa administrativa de USCIS es ilegal, la agencia deberá reanudar la emisión de decisiones dentro de un plazo razonable.

Estén muy atentos a cualquier cambio en el estatus de sus casos ante USCIS a partir de mañana. Esta es una excelente noticia que podría beneficiar a millones de inmigrantes en Estados Unidos.

Federal Court Vacates USCIS Adjudication Pause Affecting Nationals of 39 Countries https://t.co/76wLa4VDK2 | by @jacksonlewispc

🚨Breaking: #Immigration WIN! 🚀 A federal judge slams #USCIS for unlawfully freezing green cards, work permits, citizenship, and asylum apps for those from 39 countries! 🌍✊ This isn’t security—it's nationality-based limbo. #JusticePrevails as the court declares no legal

[Rep. Dan Goldman @RepDanGoldman]

The people harmed by this xenophobic and racist policy weren’t those trying to cheat the system. They were the people who followed every rule, submitted every document, and paid every fee they were required to.

Judge McConnell’s ruling is an important reminder that @DHSgov and @SecMullinDHS seem to always forget: the government cannot simply pick and choose which laws it gets to enforce just because they want to force their own discriminatory political agendas.

[ScientistsOnHold @ScientistOnHold]

A powerful piece from Purdue highlighting the human cost of the USCIS #pause affecting applicants from 39 countries. Iranian graduate students, researchers, and scientists who have spent years studying, innovating, and contributing to the U.S. now face uncertainty about their future after graduation. America has already invested in this talent—forcing them out benefits no one.

People think that immigration “benefits” mean welfare. They are not welfare and they are not “benefits” from the government. They are grants of basic freedoms to live, work, and travel

[Adrian Pandev @adrianpandev]

There is a big question on how USCIS will get all these cases back into its processing queue.

By contacting USCIS you can remind the agency that a case is pending but whether that will work without more concrete steps (congressional assistance, expedite requests, etc) is to be seen…

[David J. Bier @David_J_Bier]

Courts have repeatedly found that DHS has violated the 5th Amendment to the Constitution. In Trump v. J.G.G., the Supreme Court found that DHS violated the Fifth Amendment by deporting people without notice or opportunity to challenge the removal https://t.co/29zt6yjcVZ
