"BREAKING - Spouses and family members of US Citizens are now being deliberately targeted by Trump for deportation.
NBC News is reporting that immigrants seeking green cards through marriage could be vulnerable to deportation, according to a new Trump administration policy.
Federal immigration authorities may begin removal proceedings for immigrants who lack legal status and apply to become residents through a spouse, according to new guidance issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
The policy, which went into effect immediately, also applies to immigrants who seek lawful permanent residency through other family members.
The new policy is very broad and seems to empower USCIS to begin removal proceedings for a green-card applicant “at any point in the process,” but especially people whose legal visas expire while they wait for a decision on green cards.
Dreamers and hundreds of thousands of immigrants whose legal status is in jeopardy after the Trump administration moved to cancel temporary legal pathways under the Biden administration could also be affected.
Julia Gelatt, associate director of the U.S. Immigration Policy Program at the Migration Policy Institute, said the policy change was in line with the administration’s mass deportation agenda.
“We’re seeing the Trump administration send a message in every way that it can to unauthorized immigrants that they should consider giving up their lives in the U.S. and returning to their home countries,” she said.

Now they're erasing parts of the Constitution

"Just as you can't change the weather with a sharpie, you can't change the United States Constitution with an eraser.
"Several sections of Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution appear to have been removed from the official U.S. government website, as pointed out by sleuths on the internet and as seen by TechCrunch.
The changes were made in the past month, according to the Wayback Machine, which shows the full original text on Congress’ website as of July 17.
Several Reddit threads identified the changes in Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution: large parts of Section 8 have been removed, and Sections 9 and 10 have been deleted altogether. In the screenshot below, you can see the archived version of the site on the Wayback Machine on the left, and the current site on the right — the text highlighted in yellow has been removed.
These sections largely relate to the powers that Congress has and does not have, as well as limitations on the powers of individual states. The removal includes sections relating to habeas corpus, the powers that protect citizens from unlawful detention.
Some of the sections’ text appears missing, as indicated by a trailing semicolon at the end of Section 8, where text used to follow.
It’s not clear why the sections of the Constitution were removed from the website. Changing the U.S. Constitution’s text on the website does not change or have any effect on U.S. law, but it nevertheless follows senior Trump administration official Stephen Miller’s threats earlier this year to suspend habeas corpus.
A White House spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment."
