🚨 The Trump administration is making it harder for immigrants to get green cards from inside the U.S.

New USCIS guidance could create more barriers, longer waits, higher costs, and greater risks of family separation for immigrants seeking permanent residency.

This is an Asian immigrant issue. Many Asian communities rely on family sponsorship, employment-based visas, student visas, and marriage-based pathways to build stability and reunite with loved ones.

From attacks on DACA and TPS to new barriers for green card applicants, we’re seeing a broader pattern of making immigration harder at every step.

Thank you to Dr. Paul Kim, one of our Brave of Us nominees this AANHPI Heritage Month — nominated by our Texas affiliate, NAKASEC TX 💛

Dr. Paul Kim has dedicated his time and care to supporting elderly Korean community members with limited English proficiency. From interpreting at medical appointments and citizenship interviews to helping seniors read important documents, he continues to show up for his community with compassion and generosity. 🫶🏽

To Dr. Kim, bravery means coming together in extraordinary times and building a society rooted in dignity, courage, and unity. We’re grateful for the ways he continues to uplift and empower Korean immigrant communities through service and care. ✊

This AANHPI Heritage Month, we honor Sun from SEAFN as one of our Brave of Us community heroes. 🌱

To them, being brave means doing the right thing even when your feet are shaking — standing firmly in your dignity and following your values, heart, and gut, just like the trees teach us. ✊

They show up for community because it is in their DNA. Their ancestors fought against colonization and imperialism for the right to exist, and they continue that legacy through their care, organizing, and commitment to collective healing.

They envision a future where we reconnect with our ancestors, deepen our relationships with Mother Earth and all living beings, and build a world our future descendants can thrive in. Inspired by elders like Norma Wong, they remind us to ask ourselves: what are we doing today to become good ancestors for the generations to come?
Thank you for continuing to lead with courage, healing, and love for community. 🫶🏽
