Do U.S. voters realize the scale and cost of the 47th #POTUS's *drastic* #immigration "slow-walking"?
This backlog is bigger than ALL FOUR YEARS of the 45th POTUS's term.
It's stopped TONS of #science by removing work authorization from LOADS of #scientists who were ALREADY LEGALLY WORKING HERE FOR YEARS (e.g., when graduating Ph.D. #students or #postdocs have to transition to an H-1B #visa when OPT expires).
We had to halt multiple #decisionScience projects when a Research Project Manager completed their doctorate. Why? Because #USCIS simply isn't processing certain #OPT applications — and #H1B processing is much slower than normal times. In the past year, the #UnitedStates multiplied this loss of #innovation and #productivity by HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS! And with no detectable benefit to #security, etc.
Naturally, the highest-skilled foreign nationals are taking their skills to other countries, contributing to further #brainDrain from the #USA.
Incredible waste and inefficiency.

Immigration cases are often framed around law and narrative.
In practice, they are decided through credibility assessments, evidentiary weight, and procedural interpretation.
BiyteLüm provides expert witness services grounded in former USCIS adjudications experience—focusing on how decisions are actually made.
Not theory. Implementation.

The US is proposing to make asylum seekers wait a full year before they can apply for a work permit. This is much longer than the current 150 days.

The guidance, issued on Tuesday to #USCIS field offices, asks that they “supply Office of Immigration Litigation with 100-200 denaturalization cases per month” in the 2026 fiscal year. If the cases are successful, it would represent a massive escalation of #denaturalization in the modern era, experts said. By comparison, between 2017 & this year to date, there had been just over 120 cases filed, according to the #DOJ.

But no mention of #GunControl laws.
The #Trump admin said it would halt processing #immigration requests from #Afghan nationals indefinitely, & would review Afghan nationals who were admitted to the US under the Biden admin. On Thursday, Trump ordered US Citizenship & Immigration Services to reexamine the statuses of #GreenCard holders from 19 countries, Joseph B. Edlow, the director of #USCIS said in a post on X.

Comments on the proposed rule must be received on or before September 29, 2025. The proposed rule caps international students and exchange visitors’ visas at four years. Currently…

One employee at #USCIS said morale was already low at his workplace, but the #union decision drove it lower. He said he complained to his family, many of whom are former #government union members. The advice he got back, he said, was to move on and find a job outside of government.
“I feel like the rug just got pulled from under us,” the employee said. “I joined USCIS & the union for #WorkersRights, but this administration wants to erode all that.” -
The #EPA & the US Citizenship & Immigration Services [#USCIS] have also canceled their #CollectiveBargaining agreements. The agencies’ actions come after #VeteransAffairs, the federal government’s second-largest agency, announced plans last Wednesday to end nearly all of its contracts with federal #unions.

Ihre Papiere, bitte. #Trump Wants Immigrants on U.S. Soil to Hand Over #SocialMedia Accounts to Apply for #Citizenship
Trump is demanding social media handles for #citizenship, #GreenCard, and #visa applicants whether they're already in the U.S. or not.
by Matt Sledge, March 23 2025,
"President Donald Trump’s administration wants to force people in the U.S. applying for green cards or citizenship to fork over their social media handles, in a move with far-reaching implications as the government cracks down on #ProPalestine activists.
"U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, or #USCIS, which oversees naturalization and immigration, earlier this month proposed requesting social media names from people in the U.S. who apply for asylum, permanent residency, or naturalization, expanding a policy that used to only target people living abroad applying for visas."The proposal references Trump’s day-one executive order laying the groundwork for a new #MuslimTravelBan, which also asked federal agencies to identify #immigrants in the U.S. who hold '#HostileAttitudes” toward the government.
"'This policy would disparately impact #Muslim and #Arab applicants seeking #USCitizenship.”
"The shift would affect an estimated 3.5 million people per year — some of whom have lived in the U.S. for decades.
In light of #ColumbiaUniversity #protester #MahmoudKhalil’s ongoing detention, one official from a Muslim civil rights group said the new policy poses special danger for critics of #Israel and the Trump administration."'This policy would disparately impact Muslim and Arab applicants seeking U.S. citizenship that have voiced support for #Palestinian #HumanRights,' said Robert McCaw, director of government affairs at the Council on American-Islamic Relations. 'Collecting the social media identifiers of any potential green card applicants or citizens is the means to silencing their #LawfulSpeech.'"
