There was no legitimate reason to terrorize H-1B workers and alarm their employers causing 24 hours of panic. The failure to provide a legally sound proclamation and the haphazard messaging caused unnecessary chaos and fear along with human and material cost.

Trump is asking SCOTUS to block federal judges from issuing nationwide injunctions. Solicitor General Sauer even argued that the executive branch could ignore court orders for years while cases appeal. This would effectively allow the president to act with impunity.

Grateful to have joined the NYC Bar Association & Society of Foreign Consuls in New York last week for “Navigating Shifts in Immigration Policy". The event reinforced a shared commitment to fostering mutual understanding and improving the lives of immigrant communities. Couldn't be more timely.
