The Trump administration on Friday announced prospective immigrants would need to return to their home country to apply for green cards, a move that would stifle the most common pathway used for legal immigration.

Under the new USCIS policy, those who have already legally lived and worked in the U.S. for years would have to return to their home country to apply to return.

Meanwhile, the State Department has halted immigrant visa processing in 75 different countries.

“We’re returning to the original intent of the law to ensure aliens navigate our nation’s immigration system properly. From now on, an alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply, except in extraordinary circumstances,” USCIS spokesperson Zach Kahler said in a release.

“This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes. When aliens apply from their home country, it reduces the need to find and remove those who decide to slip into the shadows and remain in the U.S. illegally after being denied residency.”

Immigrants in the U.S. have been able to apply for an “adjustment of status” — a process that allows them to shift between various permissions over their time in the country. A student or someone with work authorization may seek permanent residency, for example, as could someone who marries a U.S. citizen.

Nobel Peace laureate and activist Narges Mohammadi has been transferred to a Tehran hospital more than a week after collapsing in prison, her foundation said Sunday.

Her transfer comes after days of pleading by her family and others who described her condition as critical. Her foundation said she has been granted a prison sentence suspension on bail. It was not clear for how long her sentence is suspended, the foundation said.

A statement from her foundation, shared with The Associated Press, said the suspended sentence is not enough and that Mohammadi needs “permanent, specialized care.”

The statement added that “we must ensure she never returns to prison to face the 18 years remaining on her sentence. Now is the time to demand her unconditional freedom and the dismissal of all charges.”

Javier Bardem has no qualms after losing jobs over his support of Palestine.

The "Cape Fear" actor opened up about how his recent outspoken anti-war sentiments, including saying, "No to war, free Palestine" on the Oscars stage to applause, have actually resulted in some in Hollywood cutting ties.

In an interview with Variety published Tuesday, May 5, Bardem said he has received some industry pushback over his stance.

"Yes, I've heard things: 'They were going to call you about that project, but that's gone.' Or 'this brand was going to ask you to do the campaign, but they cannot,'" Bardem told the outlet. But that doesn't mean Bardem has had trouble working.

The head of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Kane, said Russia is providing assistance to Iran amid Tehran’s confrontation with the US, according to remarks made during a US Senate hearing on Thursday.

Speaking at a public session of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Kane told lawmakers that Russian President Vladimir Putin is supporting Iran’s military efforts, British newspaper The Guardian reported.

Kane declined to provide details about the nature of Russia’s assistance, citing the open setting of the hearing, but said: “There is definitely some action going on there.”

The committee’s chairman, Republican Senator Roger Wicker, agreed with Kane’s assessment.

“There is no doubt that Putin’s Russia is taking serious steps to undermine our efforts to achieve success in Iran,” Wicker said.

As Shult buoyed his reputation with over 500,000 followers across Instagram, TikTok, and X, a fellow influencer jabbed at the Trump administration.
