OMG! Multiple reports but no official confirmation yet that CBP has been ordered to detain & report all Iranians entering the country deemed potentially "suspicious" or "adversarial" regardless of citizenship status. Many US citizens were held for 11+ hrs ...
... at port of entries in WA state after returning from a concert in Vancouver. Unconfirmed reports of visa holders being denied entry.
There is a lot of sketchy info circulating about CBP "directive" towards Iranians but so far none of it's confirmed & no CONFIRMED reports that US Citizens or green cards holders were denied entry. So far it is very unclear what's going on, other than the examples shared @cair_wa
@cair_wa A lot of ppl are still returning from travel abroad around the holidays so please do not spread panic unless you have confirmed information. There is always a possibility that you can encounter an officer at initial inspection w probing or insensitive Qs. It happens ...
@cair_wa ... it does not necessarily means that there is a targeted directive to deny or detain US citizens or LPRs of Iranian heritage. Know you rights but please do not spread misinformation. Follow ppl who ACTUALLY know or can find the information. Stay safe & alert.
@cair_wa UPDATE: CBP has now issued a tweet denying the existence of a directive to detain & interrogate Iranians.

OMG. ICE just announced another death in custody: Anthony Akinyemi, 56, from Nigeria was pronounced dead @ 5:23 a.m. on Dec 21 "after he was found unresponsive in his cell" in Dorchester county jail. Preliminary cause of death: self-inflicted strangulation ice.gov/news/releases/…
Conditions in ICE custody are so awful and unbearable that ppl are often suicidal after spending just few weeks. Combine that with the utter lack of mental health services, it is a miracle the death toll is not 10 fold higher.
People unfamiliar w the brutal immigration system in effect do not understand that we are detaining people who know that they cannot return back to their country of origins regardless of what IJ has ruled. Faced w imminent deportation to face torture they feel at end of the road

... but something does not add up
according to thread mom was granted withholding of removal (mandatory form of relief under the INA) as IJ found that she faces more than 50% chance of political persecution if returned to Venezuela. This is an extremely difficult relief to obtain because of the high burden 1/
Dad is a legal permanent resident (has a green card) but we do not know the basis for the grant. If he was granted asylum these should have been follow to join cases so not likely that it was the basis. Perhaps employment based. 2/

What did ya tell you? USCIS is first out of the gate on this #FridayThe13th: building on the DUIs memo USCIS has now revised its Natz policy to "unlawful acts" that *adversely affect* the good moral character inquiry
This is significant not only definitionally but also on how this is already [the trend has been there for the last 18 mos or so] and will continue to impact N-400 and N-336 interviews.
Here is the most troubling part for me: "An act is unlawful if it violates a criminal or civil law of the jurisdiction where it was committed. The provision addressing 'unlawful acts' does not require the applicant to have been charged with or convicted of the offense."

CAIR says more than 60 Iranians and Iranian-Americans illegally detained at US/Canada border overnight Saturday at the Peace Arch Border Crossing in Blaine, Washington.
We have asked US Customs & Border Protection and Homeland Security for comment on allegations that Iranian Americans were held for lengthy questioning upon trying to cross the border back into the US. Follow @CBCtanya for the latest on this story.
@CBCtanya Council on American-Islamic Relations release cites a CBP source that (DHS) "issued a national order to CBP to “report” and detain anyone with Iranian heritage entering the country who is deemed potentially suspicious or “adversarial,” regardless of citizenship status."

The mother of all immigration threads with Verifiable facts covering:
1/ 🚨There is no border crossing crisis🚨
Unauthorized Immigrant Total Dips to Lowest Level in a Decade
The decline is due almost entirely to a sharp decrease in the number of Mexicans entering the country without authorization.
Figures from @pewresearch
2/There were 10.7 million unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2016, down from a peak of 12.2 million in 2007.
42% of these immigrants who have been in the country for over 5 years live in household with US CITIZEN CHILDREN.

For the last 24 hours I've been texting & calling with refugees in Libya. 500 are apparently stuck in a Tripoli prison w/o food & water after heavy fighting broke out two days ago. They say their guards ran away, leaving them alone.
These refugees are men, women & children. They tried to cross the Mediterranean earlier this year, but were found by Italian boats, who turned them over to the EU-backed Libyan coastguard, who put them in prison. The conditions were already terrible before the fighting started.
Oh the phone earlier I could hear children crying & what sounded like bombing in the distance. The refugees say everyone's incredibly frightened. "We hear machine guns, tanks, big bombs, last night from the roof it was all fire."
