Less than two weeks after saying it would resume naturalization ceremonies in upstate NY, USCIS is once again cancelling them — this time claiming a lack of candidates. As with our previous reporting, the agency isn't answering questions. Maria Silva reports.

Watched the 1995 Serbian film "Marble Ass," a raw, boisterious and radical depiction of trans sex workers in Belgrade. The plot is loose, but it concerns an old friend returning from the Yugoslav wars and bringing chaos and violence with him.

Looking forward to a worsening doctor shortage!
Immigrants make up a significant proportion of all the country's doctors. New policies are making it harder and less appealing for foreign-born physicians to come to the U.S.
'Nobody wants to come': What if the U.S. can no longer attract immigrant physicians?

Have Cubans Fled One Authoritarian State for Another?
In the past few years, as many as two million people have escaped the island’s repressive regime and collapsing economy. Those who’ve made it to the U.S. face a new reckoning.

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.
