📢A new immigration decision may affect some people who plan to travel outside the United States using Advance Parole.
On Aug. 13, 2026, the Board of Immigration Appeals issued Matter of Delcarmen-Lara, which changed how certain travel with Advance Parole is treated under immigration law.
What this means: If a person has been unlawfully present in the United States for more than 180 days, leaving the United States, even with a valid Advance Parole Document, may now count as a “departure” under the law. That departure could trigger a 3-year or 10-year bar to returning to the United States, depending on the amount of unlawful presence.
This information is general and does not replace legal advice. Individuals should consider speaking with a qualified immigration attorney or accredited representative before traveling.

The Department of Justice seeks to strip naturalized U.S. citizen Tatiana Power of her citizenship.
Why?
An ICE Operation False Haven investigation determined she was criminally involved with a business that sexually exploited children before she became a citizen. After obtaining citizenship, she was convicted of laundering money in connection with a business that sold child sex abuse materials.
The U.S. alleges that the court should revoke her citizenship because she procured her citizenship by concealing her earlier crime.

"For far too long, the asylum system has been exploited for purposes of delay and work authorization, not legitimate claims of protection. America's asylum system exists to protect individuals who genuinely fear persecution and this rule will help ensure that resources are directed to the timely adjudication of those claims instead of to those seeking to use the system as a loophole." -
