Trump just removed the Secretary of Homeland Security.
This is the agency that oversees ICE, deportations, and border enforcement, making it one of the most powerful positions when it comes to U.S. immigration policy.
So what does this leadership change mean for immigrants in the United States?
In one of my recent lives, someone asked about a work permit case delayed for 10 months. At that point, we just go to court and file a lawsuit to get it moving. It’s the only way to break the loop!
I’m curious, has this happened to you? And if so, how long have you been in AP? 👇
There’s a lot of fear around immigration right now, but approvals are still happening. Marriage cases, waivers, citizenship, immigrant visas.
Delays don’t always mean denial. The right strategy can make all the difference.

This Thursday I’ll be going live with Oliver Ma to talk about immigration policy and what’s actually happening behind the headlines!
If immigration policy affects you, your family, or your work, you’ll want to tune in!
📅 Thursday 2/26
🕛 12 PM PST
📍 Live on my TikTok @joshisimmigration
I didn’t set out to become an immigration lawyer.
I started in corporate law, it was the path that made sense, stable, respectable; everything looked right outside. But deep down, something felt missing.
A pro bono asylum case changed that. When he was approved, I knew this is what I’m meant to do.
Something important is happening on 02.26.2026 💪
This conversation is one you won’t want to miss!
Stay tuned.
We just received 2 wins!
I-90 approved, her green card had been expired since 2023.
N-400 approved right at the interview.
So proud of the team! 👏🎉
Ramadan Mubarak 🌙✨
Wishing this month brings you peace, clarity, and strength. May it be a time of reflection, gratitude, and togetherness for you and your loved ones 💙
Sometimes you don’t realize how far your work reaches.
Reading this meant more than I can explain. Knowing that someone found hope in the middle of a difficult moment, and is now choosing to help others, that’s everything 💙
Happy #RamadanMubarak 🌙
Wishing you and your loved ones a peaceful and meaningful month filled with reflection, strength, and togetherness 💙
Behind every ICE arrest is a family, a story, and a life turned upside down. We are fighting hard to bring people home! 💪
Some good immigration news to share lately: marriage-based green cards approved, I-751 + N-400 approvals at interview, consular processing approvals for spouses and parents abroad, and a successful naturalization interview even with prior criminal history. The system is still moving!
#iceOut protests are happening today across the U.S.
What we’re seeing isn’t about enforcement anymore, it’s about fear and cruelty!!
When a loved one is held in ICE detention for too long, it can feel overwhelming. Habeas corpus allows a federal judge to review prolonged detention and require the government to justify it or order release. It’s about preventing unlawful time in jail. Contact us using the link in our bio.
If you work for a company abroad and they want to transfer you to the U.S., you might qualify for an L-1 visa!!!
It’s designed for executives, managers, and employees with specialized knowledge who’ve been with the company for at least a year.
Hot take: a lot of professionals already might qualify for an employment-based visa and just assume they don’t. EB-1, EB-2, EB-3 aren’t only for “exceptional” people, the criteria is more nuanced than most think.
Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”
Join me this Wednesday, the 7th at 10 AM PST for a live discussion on ICE’s expansion in 2026. We’ll talk about why waiting on your immigration case may be a risk. Save the date and bring your questions!
No one knows what will happen with the #travelban, courts change things, presidents change things.
What you can’t do is give up because of fear or uncertainty. This won’t last forever; your determination matters more than today’s headlines.
Just a reminder going into 2026: despite all the fear and noise around immigration, people are still getting green cards, work permits, and citizenship every day. It’s more doable than it feels. Don’t give up!
ICE reportedly offering $3,000 to “self-deport.”
When enforcement is marketed like a promotion, something has gone very wrong. Would you take it? www.tiktok.com/@joshisimmig...
From all of us at Goldstein Immigration Lawyers, we wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas🎄
We’re grateful to be part of so many journeys and to connect with people from all walks of life.

On Christmas Eve, I’m especially grateful for these two little blessings 💙 A reminder to slow down and hold close the people who matter most. Wishing you a peaceful Christmas. And to those still facing a tough immigration journey, I see you and I’m sending you love and strength.
I spoke with ABC News about reports of U.S. citizenship oath ceremonies being canceled for applicants who had already been approved!

An official government account announcing deportation like a shopping discount, this is not policy communication, it’s intimidation packaged as a promotion!

If Trump can announce a “gold card” where you pay $1M for a green card without changing the law, what stops a future Democratic president from creating a much cheaper version? Why wouldn’t the same principle apply?
Thanks! Yes, I posted a TikTok breaking down exactly what happened that day: www.tiktok.com/@joshisimmig...
This week!
Thank you! Moments like this make all the stress and long nights completely worth it. This is exactly why we do what we do!! 💪
USCIS now says biometrics expire after 3 years, and it makes no sense!
