    While everyone is focusing on this whack job's political beliefs, I'm also pretty concerned that a guy with 8 previous criminal convictions including for barricading himself inside a business with a gun in Greensboro was able to get his hands on an AK-47.

    I have co-authored the J-1 Visa Guidebook published by LexisNexis which has been published in annual editions since the 1990s and is the main treatise on the subject. So I'm pretty familiar with the rules for J-1 visa holders including at the time Musk attended Stanford. The

    We're trying to help a woman ICE just arrested at a marriage green card interview in Memphis who is 5 months pregnant in a high risk pregnancy. They are not giving her her meds and she is being sent to a detention facility 6 hours away. US citizens husband is frantic. 1

    Warning - Long tweet thread coming. I'm summing up the Harvard v. DHS complaint challenging ICE in its attempt to force F-1 students to leave the US if their courses are being offered online this fall. They lawyers did a superb job. I think you'll find this interesting.

    Shocking news. AILA member reports passengers on LAX-bound flight still in the air being forced to sign I-407s surrendering green cards.

    Kornacki just said 47K of the 60K provisional ballots in Nevada were registered Democrats. Call this election.

    So to summarize - The Trump Administration has rescinded the 7/6 F-1 students directive. Schools can go online if they want. No new I-20s needed. F-1 visas should be proceeding. Congratulations Harvard and the Wilmer Hale team. Big big win!

    ICE refused an order of supervision and is not budging. No criminal history. She also sees her MD weekly and the doctor's very concerned as well. Mother and child's life both may be in danger. @ICEgov - This makes no sense and could have tragic results. 2

    Musk would have needed to be engaged in a full course of study (at least 12 academic hours a semester) in order to qualify for work while being a J-1 student. And Stanford would have had to have approved the work. The Washington Post's reporting is that he was not a student

    Given rumors I’m hearing from pretty good sources, if you’re on an H-1B, J-1 or L-1 visa and are outside the US, you should try and reenter the US quickly.
