"This is a monumental victory in a long-fought battle to protect the safety, dignity, and humanity of our Haitian neighbors," Pressley said in a statement after the bill's passage.

Recently, as the world becomes increasingly hostile to my community, I have been haunted by the feeling that every horizon is a wall. Last Thanksgiving, when the Trump administration terminated Temporary Protected Status for Burma, a temporary immigration pathway that over 3,000 Burmese immigrants are relying on, a friend of mine remarked that we fled a tyrant only to run into the arms of a worse one.

But the congresswoman is not expected to be in court for her scheduled arraignment Tuesday afternoon in Miami. Her new attorney, William Barzee of Barzee Flores of Miami, notified the court in a filing posted late Monday that she would waive her appearance at an arraignment before a federal magistrate. The congresswoman and Barzee co-signed a request for the waiver on Sunday, court files show. Barzee did not respond to a voicemail seeking comment.

At first we didn't believe it. We thought it might be AI. But then everybody we know started reaching out about the news. It's only in our dreams that this would be true, Juan says. I feel joy, and ignorance, because I don't know exactly what could be happening there nor do I know is it absolutely positive.

At a press conference at City Hall on Monday evening, City Council Speaker Julie Menin told reporters that the employee went in for a "routine court appointment" in Bethpage that ended with the man's arrest by federal immigration officials. Menin said the employee was given one phone call, which he used to contact the Council's human-resources department, informing them of his arrest. Though he was initially detained in Bethpage, he has since been moved to the detention center on Varick Street in Manhattan.

Minnesota has the nation's largest Somali community. Many fled the long civil war in their east African country and were drawn to the state's welcoming social programs. But how many migrants would be affected by Trump's announcement that he wants to end temporary protective status could be very small. A report produced for Congress in August put the number of Somalis covered by the program at just 705 nationwide.

The United States has ended the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation for Syria, warning Syrian migrants they now face arrest and deportation if they do not leave the country within 60 days. The action on Friday came as part of US President Donald Trump's broad effort to strip legal status from migrants. It will terminate TPS for more than 6,000 Syrians who have had access to the legal status since 2012, according to a Federal Register notice posted Friday.

SAN FRANCISCO -- A federal appeals court on Friday blocked President Donald Trump's plans to end protections for 600,000 people from Venezuela who have had permission to live and work in the United States, saying that plaintiffs are likely to win their claim that the Republican administration's actions were unlawful. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld a lower court ruling that maintained temporary protected status for Venezuelans while TPS holders challenge actions by Trump's administration in court.
