On April 19, forty minutes after the ostensible deadline to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), Congress passed H.R. 7888, the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act (RISAA). President Biden quickly signed it into law hours later. RISAA reauthorizes Section 702 for two years, provides modest reforms, and includes several controversial [\u2026]\nThe post Congress Expands Warrantless Surveillance of Immigrants Traveling to the US appeared first on Immigration Impact.

Without fail, each Tax Day a prevalent myth resurfaces that conceals the truth about immigrants\u2019 contributions to federal, state, and local taxes. Bolstered by social media and other outlets, it misleadingly asserts that immigrants, particularly those who are undocumented, evade taxes. The facts don\u2019t back up these claims. Immigrants, including undocumented immigrants, pay taxes. Our [\u2026]\nThe post Immigrants Contribute Billions to Federal and State Taxes Each Year appeared first on Immigration Impact.

Thousands of immigrant workers with pending work permit renewals, and their employers, breathed a sigh of relief last week. On April 8, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a temporary rule that automatically extends the validity period of their work permits for up to 540 days, or about a year and a half.

After months of contentious debate and near government shutdowns, Congress approved appropriations for fiscal year 2024, which President Biden quickly signed into law. The spending package contains several important immigration-related appropriations and provisions. Alarmingly, however, $150 million has been cut from the Shelter and Services Program (SSP) under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and [\u2026]\nThe post The Federal Government Is Cutting Aid for Migrant Shelters and Services.
