BREAKING: The Trump administration is ordering green card applicants already living legally in the United States to leave the country and apply from their home nations.U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced the major policy shift Friday, saying noncitizens on student visas, tourist visas, or temporary work status who have applied for permanent residency must now depart – even if they have American spouses or children.Applications will be processed through U.S. consular offices abroad. USCIS says it will grant “adjustment of status” allowing someone to remain in the country only in extraordinary circumstances on a case-by-case basis.USCIS spokesperson Zach Kahler framed it as a return to the original intent of immigration law, saying the policy frees up agency resources to focus on other priorities including visas for crime victims and human trafficking cases.Critics argue the change will separate families, hurt workers filling labor shortages, and create long processing backlogs with serious humanitarian consequences. Lawsuits are expected.What do you think – is this the right approach to immigration reform, or does it go too far? ... See MoreSee Less

🚨LINDSEY GRAHAM SAYS CUBA’S LIBERATION IS “CLOSE AT HAND” – IS THIS A LEAK?Senator Lindsey Graham posted this tweet just a short time ago, and people across social media are asking the same question: does he know something the rest of us don’t?“I believe the liberation of the wonderful people of Cuba from the clutches of communism is close at hand. Cuba Libre.”That’s a pretty bold statement from a senior U.S. Senator who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee and has deep intelligence community ties. Some are reading this as a slip – or perhaps a deliberate signal.This comes as the Iran situation is escalating rapidly by the hour. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard this week threatened to extend the Middle East conflict “beyond the region” if the U.S. and Israel resume attacks, warning that “the regional war that was promised will this time be extended beyond the region.” Meanwhile, the ceasefire remains fragile – Iran has threatened military action if the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz does not end, while President Trump has threatened extensive attacks on Iranian infrastructure if shipping does not resume through the strait. With U.S. military and intelligence assets stretched across the Middle East right now, a simultaneous move on Cuba – just 90 miles from the Florida coast – would be one of the most audacious foreign policy moves in modern American history.Coincidence? Loose lips? Or is Graham telegraphing exactly what’s coming?Drop your thoughts below. This is developing fast. ... See MoreSee Less
