We have more in common with our immigrant siblings than we do any billionaire or corporate CEO.
Unity and solidarity are the source of our strength, and America’s unions will keep fighting to make sure working people, regardless of status, are protected at work and at home.

If your naturalization case is or will be put on hold by this, especially after the interview, go see an immigration lawyer now.
Naturalization is not discretionary, and federal judges have a unique role in deciding delayed naturalization cases.

The Trump admin has paused all immigration and naturalization processes for people from one of the 19 travel ban countries; including Cuba and Venezuela.
Even people who fully passed the citizenship exam are having their cases put on hold, just inches from the finish line.

Scoop: The Trump administration has paused all immigration applications filed by people from 19 countries banned from travel to the United States earlier this year, halting green card and U.S. citizenship processing for broad swaths of people.
More coming soon.
