Thank you @SenatorMenendez for demanding @POTUS grant humanitarian parole for #Iranians.

NIAC has called for expedited visa processing for Iranians seeking safety & urges the U.S. gov't to provide a safe haven without risk of expiration of deportation.

@HispanicCaucus Please urge president Biden to take immediate executive actions on the immigration reform.
Please pursue your proposed executive orders on redress of diversity visa applicants impacted by Muslim and COVID Bans.

@NILC @aaaj_alc @CAIRSFBA @arnoldporter @IABA_National Q: It Would be relief for diversity visa winners impacted by Muslim Ban?

@SenSchumer Schumer: "We’re going to work day and night to bring a funding package together, avoid a shutdown and make sure Congress fulfills this basic duty to the American people."

[Erik Wasson @elwasson]

Approps: @SenatorLeahy said lawmakers are closer to a 2022 funding bill deal than they were before recess. Hoping to avoid another stopgap before Feb 18 deadline

[John Bresnahan @bresreports]

With government funding expiring on Feb. 18, and the House supposed to be out of session that week, ⁦@LeaderHoyer⁩ warns members the House schedule may change to deal with situation

Just asked @Sen_JoeManchin if he sees any opportunities for green card backlog relief in the current Congress.

"I sure hope so," said Manchin. "This country was built on legal immigration and we've been able to be strong because the of diversity we have." (1/2)

[Pablo Manríquez @PabloReports]

> MANCHIN (2/2): "So many people are coming for their desires and basically the freedoms we have & the opportunities we have. For that to slow down to a snail's pace and reverse is absolutely horrific."

[Pablo Manríquez @PabloReports]

Asked @SenatorMenendez if he has had any conversations with @WHCOS about immigration.

"No," said Menendez.

[Pablo Manríquez @PabloReports]

Just asked @SenSanders if he has had any convos with @WHCOS about immigration.

Biden swiftly repealed the Muslim ban - but families and individuals continue to face barriers. Many are now stuck in the immigration visa backlog...

Lifting the Muslim Ban is just the very first step. Our board member @ashahshahani explains:

According to the State Department, the #MuslimBan kept more than 1,500 children from their American parents, more than 3,000 parents from their American children, and nearly 4,000 people from their partners.

Many #Muslim immigrants from previously banned countries are still waiting to receive updates from the government on the status of their applications and to finally be reunited with their families.

Pelosi, Schumer, DeLauro and Leahy just met about a spending deal. Deadline is Feb. 18 at the moment, though they could pass a CR for more time

“We’re all on the same page and we’re waiting on what the Republican counter offer would be,” Schumer says
