Washington Post July 19, 2019 r If you were to take the test to become a U.S. citizen tomorrow, you might be asked to name one of five U.S. territories, or two of the rights contained in the Declaration of Independence, or to provide the correct number of amendments to the Constitution. The naturalization test is a crucial part of an immigrant’s journey to becoming an American. And, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, it is meant not just as a measure of U.S. civics knowledge, but also as a reason to study and absorb the principles, values and functions of the U.S. government, including the rights and responsibilities that come with citizenship. (Question No. 49: What is one responsibility that is only for United States’ citizens? Answer: “Serve on a jury” or “vote in a federal election.”) The Trump administration is planning to update the test, and a new version is slated to debut before the end of President Trump’s first term, officials said Friday. A pilot test should be available this fall. #immigration #swedenberg #realdonaldtrump #uscitizenshiptest  Acting Defense Secretary Richard Spencer authorized the deployment of additional troops to the border to provide “aerial surveillance, operational, logistical, and administrative support” to Customs and Border Patrol. | Alex Edelman/Getty Images 2,100 more troops headed to the U.S.-Mexico border, Pentagon says By Wesley MorganEY MORGAN
07/17/2019 03:41 PM EDT Politico - Acting Defense Secretary Richard Spencer has authorized the additional deployment of 1,100 active-duty troops and 1,000 Texas National Guard soldiers to the U.S.-Mexico border, the Pentagon announced today. They will join some 2,500 active-duty and 2,000 National Guard troops already there, for a total force of 6,600 on the border mission. #immigration #swedenberg #realdonaldtrump #uscitizenshiptest President Trump says immigration raids starting 'fairly soon'  Reuters/JONATHAN ERNST U.S. President Trump waves after arriving in Morristown, New Jersey July 5 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Friday mass deportation roundups would begin "fairly soon" as U.S. migrant advocates vowed their communities would be "ready" when immigration officers come. Trump, who has made a hardline immigration stance a key issue of his presidency and 2020 re-election bid, postponed the operation last month after the date was leaked, but on Monday he said it would take place after July 4. "They'll be starting fairly soon, but I don't call them raids, we're removing people, all of these people who have come in over the years illegally," he told reporters at the White House on Friday. #immigration #swedenberg #realdonaldtrump #uscitizenshiptest
 Since leaving government, Thomas Homan has been a regular guest on Fox News to discuss immigration issues. | Evan Vucci/AP Photo Former ICE official Homan surprised by Trump’s ‘border czar’ announcement By TED HESSON 06/14/2019 03:50 PM EDT Updated 06/14/2019 08:57 PM EDT President Donald Trump’s pick to become “border czar” was surprised to be name-checked by the president Friday, according to a person familiar with the situation. During a lengthy phone interview on “Fox & Friends,” Trump said he will bring back former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Thomas Homan for a new border role. The public attention caught Homan off-guard, and it's not yet clear he’ll take the job, the person said. “Tom Homan’s coming back,” Trump said Friday. “He’s going to be very much involved with the border.” #Immigration #Donald Trump #ImmigrationNewsToday #UScitizenshipTestUScitizenshipTest
Immigration official looks to step up family deportations  (U.S. Army photo by 2nd Lt. Corey Maisch) WASHINGTON - The new top immigration official signaled Tuesday his agency is looking to step up deportations of families who are in the United States illegally, actions that would likely run into logistical hurdles and face strong public opposition.
Mark Morgan, acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said the agency would continue to prioritize deportations of people who have criminal histories, but that no one should be exempt from enforcement.

The move is a loss for dedicated immigration hawks — and a win for Trump loyalists. By Dara Linddara@vox.com May 25, 2019, 11:31am EDT President Donald Trump, continuing his purge of the Department of Homeland Security, has pushed out the head of US Citizenship and Immigration Services — the agency responsible for legal immigration into the US, including asylum — and reportedly plans to replace him with former Virginia attorney general Ken Cuccinelli. L. Francis Cissna, who was confirmed as USCIS director by the Senate in 2017, emailed USCIS employees Friday that “at the request of the president” he had submitted his resignation effective June 1. Why Trump’s Immigration Speech is a Game-Changer -Fox News “Even before the president did a microphone check for his immigration and border security speech in the White House Rose Garden Thursday afternoon, his critics were saying they hated his plan,” James Carafano writes. “Good. That means he must be more right than wrong.” President Trump outlined his proposal for reforming America’s broken immigration system this week, transforming “the legal system first to one bringing in workers based on merit.”  |
