A federal judge just confirmed that USCIS broke the law by freezing immigration applications for millions of people from 39 countries, collecting over $1 billion in fees without processing a single case. The Immigration and Nationality Act uses mandatory language requiring timely adjudications, and nationality-based discrimination against green card applicants is explicitly prohibited. This ruling is a major victory for legal immigrants who built lives here in good faith.
An Obama-appointed judge just dismantled a policy designed to protect Americans after an Afghan national shot two National Guard members, and the left is celebrating. Labeling every DHS security measure as racially motivated is a legal tactic used to gut enforcement since 2017, not a genuine constitutional argument. Blocking national security vetting doesn't make Americans safer — it just makes the country more vulnerable.
