Your weekly summary from the Council

to
thousands
of
vulnerable
people
seeking
protection
in
the
United
States
and
forces
the
Biden
administration
to
maintain
a
counterproductive
policy
that
has
caused
chaos
along
our
southern
border.


This
updated
fact
sheet
from
the
American
Immigration
Council
explains
how
Title
42
has
been
implemented,
its
impact,
and
whether
it
has
served
its
public-health
purpose.

ACROSS THE NATION
*
This
American
Immigration
Council
filed
a
lawsuit
challenging
U.S.
Citizenship
and
Immigration
Services’
and
the
National
Archives
and
Records
Administration’s
unreasonable
delay
in
processing
naturalization
applications
that
were
filed
in
2020
and
has
prevented
U.S.
lawful
permanent
resident
applicants
from
becoming
U.S.
citizens.


Applicants
for
U.S.
citizenship
have
been
waiting
for
two
years
because
thousands
of
paper-based
immigration
records
are
stuck
in
man-made
caves
that
USCIS
says
it
can’t
access.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“Immigrants nearing the end of their long journey to U.S. citizenship—who want to fully commit to American ideals and principles—should not be shut out of the system because the government has failed to effectively resume full capacity of its operations and access essential records... Becoming a U.S. citizen matters to the individuals who want to fully commit to America, it empowers immigrants to achieve full belonging in their communities, and it matters to the country who will benefit from that commitment.”
– Leslie K. Dellon, senior attorney at the American Immigration Council [[link removed]]
