Starting August 15, 2025, USCIS will calculate a child's age under the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) using the "Final Action Dates" chart instead of the "Dates for Filing" chart. This change will cause many more applicants to lose eligibility by "aging out". Applications filed before August 15 will still calculate using "Dates for Filing".

A federal judge in California has temporarily blocked the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua. TPS protections for these countries have been extended until at least November 18, 2025, when a hearing on the merits of the lawsuit will take place.

E-Verify has updated its Status Change Report to help employers identify revoked EADs following DHS’s termination of certain parole programs (e.g., CHNV). As of July 15, 2025, the report includes revoked document numbers. Employers should compare these with records on file and, if matched, complete Form I-9 Supplement B to reverify work authorization without creating a new E-Verify case.

A federal judge in New Hampshire granted class-action status on July 10 to a lawsuit brought by the ACLU on behalf of a pregnant immigrant, immigrant parents and their infants who would be denied birthright citizenship under a Trump executive order. The judge granted a temporary block of the President's order restricting birthright citizenship from going into effect throughout the country.

The June 27 Supreme Court ruling on the birthright citizenship case limited the ability of district judges to issue nationwide injunctions. It did NOT decide on Trump’s order ending birthright citizenship. The order ending birthright citizenship will go into effect unless someone sues in their own area or joins a class action, which some groups are already working on.
