Immigration America

Just in the last week, I have had TWO male clients who are in removal proceedings before the immigration court come to me, perplexed, with notices of Selective Service registrations that they had NOT made! Apparently, ICE still deport you, but first you must fight Orange Man's wars.

The Selective Service System is registering ALL males 18-25 for a (prospective) draft. This even includes non-resident, non-immigrant males! Apparently, the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act made it mandatory to register ALL males between ages 18-25. So if males between these ages go in for a Driver's License or state ID or file some other government application, they will be registered for the Selective Service. See the article, below.

Automatic registration into Selective Service was mandated in December 2025, when President Donald Trump signed into law the fiscal year 2026 NDAA.

Excellent piece on NPR on the immense impact of the Board of Immigration Appeals' decisions......well researched and written, it explains how the tiny BIA affects immigration policies NATIONWIDE! With just 15 members handpicked by the Attorney General, the board has sided with the Department of Homeland Security in an overwhelming 97% of the cases heard in 2025.

President Trump has slashed the number of people on the Board of Immigration Appeals and stacked it with his appointees, tightening the due process available for immigrants, an NPR analysis shows.

The US Federal District Court for the Central District of California issued a decision on February 18, 2026, finally vacating the BIA decision Matter of Yajure Hurtado, 29 I&N Dec. 216 (BIA 2025) in its entirety. It appears that the District Court had finally lost patience with the reticence of the executive branch since Judge Sunshine Sykes issued her order in December, requiring that eligible class members were entitled to bond hearings before immigration judges.
In response, on January 13, 2026,Chief Immigration Judge Teresa Riley, sitting in Cleveland, Ohio, decreed that immigration judges should not follow the December order, claiming that Judge Sykes had issued only a declaratory judgment, and not an injunction. Therefore, immigration judges could continue to deny non-citizens bond if they had not entered the country after having been inspected and admitted.
Judge Sykes’ patience finally wore out. On February 18, she issued the order which is attached. I would commend the reader to look at pages 15 and 16 of the order, which politely, but firmly, described the judge’s frustration with the continued intransigence of the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice, which oversees the immigration courts and the Board of Immigration Appeals.
Briefly, the order requires that Immigration Judges grant bond hearings to aliens and that Immigration Judges have the authority to grant bond to detained aliens. The DHS has already begun to float the idea that Judge Sykes’ ruling applies only in the states within the 9th Circuit.
Of course, the DHS can and probably will appeal. They could appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and even move for a stay pending appeal, or they could take the case directly to the Supreme Court on the emergency docket. Either way, we shall see. My money is on the DHS appealing directly to the Supreme Court.
In the interim, detained aliens can and must seek release on bond, stating that Yajure Hurtado has been vacated, and consequently, immigration judges have the legal authority and the discretion to grant release on such bond and under such conditions as they deem appropriate.
Stay tuned for developments on this very important matter.

Fighting ON - and ON: What I think will be the next big pitched battle on Immigration, this time in the Federal Courts of Appeals -

The last big (and continuing) contest was in the Federal District courts. We witnessed and know of DHS arbitrarily detaining and locking up individuals who had pending asylum applications, TPS, non-citizens reporting to ICE, and even defendants and respondents appearing for court and administrative proceedings. Those detentions resulted in a host of upwards of FOUR THOUSAND petitions for Habeas Corpus being filed in the Federal District Courts.

Now we have another wave of upcoming litigation: The BIA rewrote case law and very generously interpreted the preamble to regulations to give DHS the opportunity to deport asylum seekers to THIRD COUNTRIES with who the USA has sketchy, undefined and unregulated "Asylum Cooperative Agreements". Under the ACA with another country, that country agrees to take WHICHEVER asylum seeker (Not unaccompanied minors- thus far anyway) the USA sends to it and processes that asylee's asylum claim to be able to live in THAT third country. For example, an asylum seeker from Nicaragua could be deported to Ecuador or Honduras and those countries would determine if the asylum seeker could seek and be granted asylum in THOSE countries.

Aside from the fact that the third countries are basically poor nations which lack any bargaining power to reject the Trump Administration's demands to enter into ACA's and are bribed and coerced with US Taxpayer money into agreeing to an ACA, two underlying fundamental facts belie the "due process" argument the DHS is using to justify repatriating these asylum seekers to third countries. FIRST - the countries lack any kind of meaningful asylum review process whatsoever; and
SECOND - there is no mechanism to secure and protect the asylum seekers while their claims for asylum wend their way through a system which does not even exist!

Why do I say the battle will be fought in the Federal Courts of Appeals?

Because the Immigration Judges grant the DHS' motions to pertermit (that is, basically dismiss before completion) the asylum seeker's claims. The process mandates that the asylum seeker must appeal the dismissal to the Board of Immigration Appeals, a tribunal that has been stacked with Administration supporters. Only after the BIA rules (which will essentially be a rubber-stamp of the IJ decision, because after all, it was the BIA set up the impossible hurdle for asylum seekers to surmount to successfully rebut the DHS' claims for pretemission under the ACA - SEE: Matter of C-I-G-M- & L-V-S-G-, 29 I&N Dec. 291 (BIA 2025)) can the asylum seeker appeal to the US Appeals Court for their judicial circuit.

All this is set up to grind the asylum seeker into submission - drain them of resources, time, patience, dignity and above all, hope. The government can succeed if asylum seekers, weary after years of waiting, simply give up and leave the USA to a third country where they could very well become victims once again. Stay tuned as the Trump Administration bullies non-citizens into submission.

The US Department of State has issued a new directive to consulates worldwide, asking them to pause immigrant visa applications to check whether applicants pose a potential to seek public benefits while in the United States.
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/immigrant-visa-processing-updates-for-nationalities-at-high-risk-of-public-benefits-usage.html
The directive comes weeks after the US government understood what it said was substantial fraud in public benefits, specifically, childcare centers operated by Somalis in Minnesota.
Similar claims will probably be made about other immigrant communities which rely on certain types of social services in the United States.
All of this is of course in keeping with the Trump administration’s desire to curb immigration to the USA, to demonize immigrants, and to try and deport as many immigrants - both lawful as well as undocumented - through any means possible, including unfounded and baseless allegations.
In addition, the Department of State has updated the list of countries whose nationals may be required to post a visa bond when applying for a visitor visa (B-1/B-2 for business or tourism).
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/countries-subject-to-visa-bonds.html
“Any citizen or national traveling on a passport issued by one of these countries, who is found otherwise eligible for a B1/B2 visa, must post a bond for $5,000, $10,000, or $15,000. The amount is determined at the time of the visa interview.”
These directives come as the US gears up to host the World Cup, the ultimate sporting event in the world for football (soccer) in the USA.
The directives, as is usual for Trump orders, are vague. It requires consulates to vet applicants for immigrant and nonimmigrant visas for potential use of public benefits in the USA. Applicants will need to fill out an additional form to justify to the State Department that they will not be potentially seeking any public benefits on admission to the USA. The department will also ask whether they have ever received any public benefits anywhere in the world in any other country, as a determining factor of whether the applicant will also rely on public benefits in the US.
Some of the factors that the Department of State requires officials to look into include the following: age, health, family status, finances, education, skills, and - as noted above - past use of public assistance anywhere in the world. The Consulates are also now required to assess the applicant’s English proficiency and are allowed to do so by conducting interviews in English. This will obviously pose a severe burden to individuals who do not speak the English language, and are coming to the USA for nonimmigrant purposes - for example, tourism, to attend the World Cup, business, etc.
At this time, 75 countries are on the State Department’s list for this heightened immigrant visa screening. Full details of all the countries can be found in the article from NPR, which you can find here: https://www.npr.org/2026/01/14/g-s1-106065/trump-immigrant-visa-suspensions-public-assistance

Additional screening requirements on all travelers at all ports of entry - land, sea and air - will cause significant delays in entry to the United States. Travelers who are not US citizens are warned to build in extra time for connecting flights and their onward journeys into the USA.
These requirements will include: fingerprint scans, biometric scans, facial recognition, and in some cases, iris (eye) scans. There is no indication of who will be selected for what, and there is no rhyme or reason as to why certain people may be interviewed longer than others. Hence, passengers should be well aware of these delays and plan their onward travel accordingly.
Some of the items I recommend that my clients carry with them at all times of the following:
• Tourists: carry all manner of proof of identity, a copy of your itinerary, and other relevant documents. For example, if you’re traveling to a resort destination - let’s say Disney World, or Las Vegas, or Niagara Falls, or New York City, it would be advisable for you to show your hotel bookings for that area, any advance ticket reservations, funds available to pay for hotels and travel expenses etc. Also carry a copy of your return ticket confirmation showing that you intend to leave the USA at the end of your permitted stay.
• Business travelers: proof of your business meetings, proof of your itinerary, and email and contact information for individuals whom you will be meeting with. If you’re going to attend a conference, proof of the conference location and attendance.
• Students: carry all manner of proof of identity, all indications of what you will be doing in the USA, such as documentation of your studies, letters from the school, form I-20, any and all documents which would indicate your legal intent to remain within the parameters of your legal status within the United States.
• Temporary workers: carry all manner of proof of identity, letter from the employer, proof of employment including paystubs, any and all documents which would indicate your legal intent to remain within the parameters of your legal status within the United States.

• Permanent residents; proof of your permanent residency including your lease, home ownership, bank accounts, recent tax returns. If employed, proof of your job, proof of your ongoing residence in the USA, which may even be something as mundane as your membership in a gym, your grocery store card, your utility bills, and documents of such import which will prove to the customs and border protection agents that you are genuinely a long-term and intending resident of the United States.

In short, allow additional time for processing at ports of entry. As stated above, every traveler will have to provide not only biometric scanning, but also facial recognition, and in some cases iris (eye) scans as well.
Therefore, the United States continues to flex its muscle while on the path of “making America safe again”. How this policy will work out in the future is uncertain, but it certainly will have a long-term effect on US tourism revenue. Given the fact that most businesses can conduct meetings by teleconference options, it will probably reduce business travel to and from the United States. The economic cost of the administration’s policy is inestimable at this point in time, as the long-term effects of this tighter restriction will be seen only in the coming months and years.
Stay tuned!

𝐔𝐒 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 - 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬

US District Judge Sunshine Sykes of the United States District Court for the Central District of California issued a final judgment on December 18, 2025, requiring the Department of Homeland Security to stop detaining aliens mandatorily for individuals who fall into the non-eligible class members. This means, aliens who are abruptly picked up, even after years of residence in the United States and held without bond by USICE, are now able to seek bond from an immigration judge. They are subject to detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a) and not subject to mandatory detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2).

Judge Sykes order further declares under paragraph 2 that such aliens are not subject to mandatory detention, and that they are entitled to consideration for bond by immigration officers, and if the DHS does not grant bond, then they are entitled to a custody redetermination (bond) hearing before an immigration judge. The order cites the regulations at 8 C.F.R. § 236.1, 1236.1, and 1003.19 in support.

Finally, the order vacates the DHS’s policy titled “interim guidance regarding detention authority for applicants for admission” under which aliens were being unlawfully placed into mandatory detention, and grants final judgment to the class complainants.
Of course, the DHS will undoubtedly file a notice of appeal, but interestingly, so far has not filed for a motion for stay pending appeal.

What does this mean?

This means that aliens who are either already in custody by ICE and are not “arriving aliens”, can seek bond redetermination before an immigration judge if the DHS does not grant bond.

However, be advised, aliens must make a strong showing that they are:
(a) not a flight risk;
and
(b) not a danger to society.

A full, thorough, and well documented bond packet should be submitted in support of any bond application. Even if bond is granted, it is this author’s experience that immigration judges are issuing bonds in incredibly high dollar amounts. This is of course to discourage the ability of bond recipients to actually post the bond and be released from DHS custody. That however, is another, totally political issue which is beyond the scope of the district court’s jurisdiction.

For now, however, the ill thought out and legally baseless policy of mandatory detention for all aliens can be challenged at immigration court level if ICE does not grant release on bond.

The USCIS has issued new guidance regarding photographs.
Under the new guidance, if the USCIS has photographs that were taken less than three years ago on any applications, it will continue to use those photographs.
However, if the photographs were taken more than three years ago, or were taken by the applicants and submitted, then the USCIS will require that new photographs be taken.
This new photograph requirement means that any applicant whose photographs on file with the USCIS are more than three years old, will have to appear at a USCIS Application Support Center in order to be rephotographed.
These new applications include Form I-90, Application for Replacement of Green Card; Form N-400, Application for Naturalization; Form I-485, Application for Adjustment of Status. These are typically amongst the highest used applications submitted to USCIS, so many more applicants will be presenting themselves to USCIS Applicant Support Centers, which are available in most major cities across the USA. Typically, Application Support Centers are based in the same building or near to the USCIS field office.
If you receive a notice from the USCIS for an appointment at the Application Support Center, this probably means that the USCIS needs to recapture biometric information, which includes a photograph.
As always, in these difficult and unpredictable times, Ppease contact a qualified immigration attorney for the ramifications of any appearance before USCIS or any agency of the DHS.
Please stay tuned for any further details.

Please DO leave home without it.

A quick analysis of the "Trump Gold Card"

With Centurion Trump featured gloweringly front and center, Lady Liberty and the great American eagle taking a seemingly background role, the Trump Gold card makes its debut on the already tattered and reeling American immigration landscape.

The Promise: For a "gift" of a mere $ 1,000,000 (US $ 1 Million) per person, an applicant can get a "green card", ie, Permanent Residency, in a matter of "weeks", the USCIS website promises.

The Catch: Not being authorized by any law, not being an immigration benefit introduced by Congress and passed by the House and Senate, the "Trump Card" is patently illegal from the outset! Buyer beware! Trump has NO unilateral authority to create a new immigration program. Only Congress can pass a law which affects or benefits a particular defined set of immigrants.

Past Performance is no guarantee of Future Results: Anyone remember the "Trump Phone"? That Smartphone was supposed to be built in the USA and would retail for under $ 500.00. Where is that phone? Up in smoke. Past Promises, betrayed, are clearly NOT an indicator of reliable Future Performance! In other words, Trump has lied before and the lies continue.

Conclusion: If you want to risk a MILLION dollars on Trump's baseless "Gold Card", be my guest. But be prepared for court challenges that could cost an applicant dearly.

If anyone is thinking of travelling to India now to get their H-1B or other work visa stamped to be able to return to the United States, please don’t!
Per the US Department of State, and primarily allegedly because of capacity constraints, the US consulates in India have delayed all their H-1B visa applications for at least 3 months, from December 2025 through March 2026. People who are already in India waiting for their visa appointments are now stranded. Their appointments have been rescheduled to 2026. If they don’t have a valid visa to return to the USA, they have to sit in India and wait until their visa appointment.
The reason that the State Department is giving is that it is conducting a detailed social media and background review of all visa applicants in keeping with Trump’s desire to w**d out any anti-American and any antisemitic sentiment.
Visa applicants should be careful of what they post on their social media. I have written about this in a previous blog as well.
Please continue to stay tuned on this important matter because things are certain to change as we go through the unpredictable gyrations of the Trump administration.
