Judge Reyes starts with a comparison: George Washington versus Kristi Noem.
"The pause will likely reduce the supply of workers and particularly health care workers in the U.S., which could exacerbate existing health care worker shortages." https://bit.ly/4bro9uT
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
For awareness, here is what we knew would happen during the last US government shutdown. Every shutdown is different based on the leader and the duration. Make sure you are prepared. @urbanviewradio.bsky.social #immigation #shutdown
"The visa is designed for highly skilled workers across many industries...Employers who rely on the visa include those in health care, which often recruit medical professionals outside the U.S. in areas where they have shortages." https://cbsn.ws/46i7iYp
There was no legitimate reason to terrorize H-1B workers and alarm their employers causing 24 hours of panic. The failure to provide a legally sound proclamation and the haphazard messaging caused unnecessary chaos and fear along with human and material cost.
Seeing reports about this "unnamed White House official" who said that the H1B proclamation doesn't apply to returning workers. If the official was authorized to provide this info, they should've gone on record. Until I see a memo or get a named person with this info, the clarification isn't real.
H1-B workers don’t take jobs — they create them.
They make our companies more competitive globally and help us lead in tech, medicine, and defense.
This policy shrinks our talent pipeline, undermines job creation, and hands America’s competitive edge to global rivals.
"A federal judge in San Francisco on Thursday blocked the Trump administration, for now, from terminating Temporary Protected Status for people from Honduras, Nicaragua and Nepal. Judge Trina Thompson's decision postpones the terminations until November."
"Through pro bono service, immigration attorneys not only help clients navigate the legal labyrinth—they also restore hope, preserve families, and empower voices that might otherwise be silenced," writes AILA member Nikki Esposito Whetstone #ThinkImmigration
This stuff is utterly unacceptable and I hope litigation is being planned. We won a lawsuit against the Tucson Sector Border Patrol for similar unconstitutional conditions of confinement.
AILA condemns the passage of the reconciliation bill. This legislation fails our nation on every front and abandons critical efforts to address backlogs in the legal immigration system while creating needless barriers to a functional immigration system.
"Rekha Sharma-Crawford, AILA vice president, said it's crucial to keep in mind that the government has the burden of proof during denaturalization proceedings...the law only recognizes four very specific categories."
NEW: We @immcouncil.org just published our in-depth analysis of the immigration enforcement provisions of the reconciliation bill.

NEW: In the latest batch of Byrd Rule rulings, the Senate Parliamentarian has struck several significant immigration-related provisions.
This includes a $1,000 mandatory fee to apply for asylum, which would have applied even to children and to people detained making $1/day.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled today to severely limit the ability of district court judges to grant universal injunctions as part of ongoing litigation about birthright citizenship. Read the full statement from AILA leadership.
Did you know there was a SCOTUS decision today on immigration? A new #ThinkImmigration blog post from @aila.org dives into the decision in Riley v. Bondi and what it means for people who may have a reasonable fear of torture in their home country. url.avanan.click/v2/r01/___ht...
My flight to Denver has been delayed again now to 10:10PM. 😭 Looks like all the weather cleared though. ☀️
This movement is fired up, dedicated, well-informed of our rights, and committed to keeping each other and our communities safe.
We’re in this together.
I don’t even want to post a link to the trump card gov website, but oh my goodness. People around my office hear me saying “omg” throughout the day. This is exhausting.
READ how AILA Law Journal author Allison Huang was inspired to dig into the use of technology by #immigration agencies and the courts, and the issue of how tech access can affect access to justice: bit.ly/3SLmFB5
"'It’s a different ban, using lessons they learned from challenges to the first, second and third travel ban...' said Shev Dalal-Dheini of AILA. 'They took steps to try to protect against litigation.' That said, she added, 'I don’t think it’s foolproof.'” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/05/u...
🚨🚨🚨 In the last two hours, the Trump admin:
- Banned all immigrant visas from 19 countries, including Cuba, Haiti, and Venezuela
- Banned all student and researcher visas to Harvard
- Colluded with Texas to kick 20,000 undocumented college students off of in-state tuition.
Man, thinking I’d heard the last wonky news of the day and then I read about visa restrictions for Chinese nationals in yet another vague press release. www.state.gov/releases/off...
While waiting on litigation, there are real status questions for F1 students who graduated from Harvard & have OPT, 2025 grads who applied for OPT, and others who benefit from cap gap as beneficiaries of cap subject H-1B petitions. The regime makes rash decisions & doesn't care about consequences.
Absolutely asinine.
An extraordinary opinion for an extraordinary moment in American history.
Great FAQ from fellow @aila.org member Anthony Pawelski on social security and immigration. With so much misinformation on the topic, this is an important read with clear and accurate information. Read now on the #ThinkImmigration blog: url.avanan.click/v2/r01/___ht...
Thought getting to the store 10 minutes early would be enough…the line is wrapped around the building. Book nerds unite!
