US under pressure for terminating Haitian Family Reunification Parole Program

US officials sued over rejection of petitions for long-term legal residency

ALEJANDRO Mayorkas, U.S. Department of Homeland Security secretary, and Tracy Renaud, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services director, were sued by nine individuals in federal court over allegations of due process violations. In their petition for a writ of mandamus, the nine individuals said they are not asking the court to adjudicate their eligibility for the long-term resident status. “Instead,” said attorney Steven Pixley who represents the petitioners, “they respectfully seek the narrow relief of an order from this court mandating that the respondents process their applications, which were wrongfully rejected.” The plaintiffs are Christine C. Pramis, Christopher R. Manalo, Cesar G. Lopez, Aliilua Panapa Peteru, Veisinia Tilisa Peteru, Pacifico C. Rivera, Ferdinand D. Arago, Anthony M. Alegre and Nimfa T. Tan.

US immigration agents instructed to use inclusive language

The Biden administration has instructed US immigration officials to use more inclusive language to refer to non-US citizens after scrapping the use of the word ‘aliens’. The move comes as part of wider White House efforts to take a more welcoming approach toward immigrants and eradicate Donald Trump’s controversial immigration stance. In a memo issued by the acting head of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Tracy Renaud, she instructed officials to overhaul the language used in official documentation, outreach efforts and other communications directed at immigrants. The memo suggested the replacement of certain terminology, including ‘alien’ with ‘non-citizen’ and ‘illegal alien’ with ‘undocumented non-citizen.’ It was also recommended that the term ‘integration’ be used when referring to immigrants becoming part of US society, rather than ‘assimilation’, which has been criticized for being racist.
