Trump’s first 100 days

In its latest report, the USCIS enumerated its accomplishments in its first 100 days since President Donald Trump took over the reins of executive power. The agency boasted claimed that it "has restored robust screening and vetting capabilities; re-emphasized fraud detection and deterrence; reduced exploitation of the immigration system through humanitarian and temporary protected status programs; in partnership with other agencies, helped reduce encounters at our southern border and increase safety at home, with violent criminal aliens rapidly being removed from our neighborhoods; and introduced commonsense policy and operational solutions to help protect Americans."

It differentiates itself from the previous Biden administration by lambasting the past administration's disastrous immigration policies that, as the agency points out, has allowed criminal aliens to legally live and work in our communities. It lists the following actions it has taken as part of its accomplishments:

Implementation of the Alien Registration Requirement (ARR);

Deploying around 450 volunteers to support US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations.

Engaging in cross-agency partnerships in immigration enforcement and public safety, including having facilitated 369 arrests at USCIS field offices since Jan. 20, 2025.

Prioritizing the safety of Americans by accurately applying Terrorism Related Inadmissibility Grounds to deny members of transnational crime organizations designated as foreign terrorist organizations access to immigration benefits.

Terminating categorical programs in stopping broad abuse of humanitarian parole authority by ending the Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan parole program, and ensuring consideration of parole requests on a case-by-case basis.

Ending the exploitation and abuse of Temporary Protected Status.

Restoring robust screening and vetting capabilities by ensuring officers have access to the tools and training needed to detect immigration fraud and protect national security and is actively increasing awareness of the consequences of immigration fraud. Aliens who use false information or deceitful practices to unfairly obtain immigration benefits will face serious consequences, including prison, steep fines, and removal from the US.

Adopting social media vetting for anti-Americanism to consider social media content that indicates an alien endorsing, espousing, promoting, or supporting anti-Semitic terrorism, anti-Semitic terrorist organizations, or other anti-Semitic or anti-American activity as a negative factor in any USCIS discretionary analysis when adjudicating immigration benefit requests.

Overhauling the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database to eliminate transaction fees for participating state, local, territorial, and tribal government users, streamline mass alien status checks, and integrate criminal records, immigration timelines, and addresses into results. This will help prevent aliens from exploiting taxpayer-funded public benefits or voting illegally.

Recognizing only two sexes, male and female.

Waiving all requirements for aliens applying for green cards to show that they received COVID-19 vaccination.

The agency also ended coordination on naturalization ceremonies with sanctuary cities that restrict the ability of law enforcement to cooperate with DHS to enforce immigration laws and keep American communities safe from illegal and violent aliens.
