Wow well this is a pretty insane article. How can some people be so selfish to put their baby in danger for a chance at a green card?

““We were counting on our child being born here,” said Varun, who along with his wife Priya (names changed) moved to the US eight years ago on H-1B visas. “We’ve been waiting for our green cards for six years. This was the only way to ensure stability for our family. We are terrified of the uncertainty.” Priya, 34, is due to give birth in early March.

A 28-year-old finance professional said his plans would go haywire if his dependant wife were to give birth to their first child after the deadline.

“We sacrificed so much to come here. Now, it feels like the door is closing on us,” the H-1B holder said, still a few months away from parenthood.”

There's no guarantee that he can overturn the court's decision
It is not the job of the President to interpret law.
There have already been state lawsuits filed.

Funny enough some of these people will be the one talking up the US/West downfall but they will do everything to get citizenship or green cards from the West including putting their lives and those of their children. It's sad actually.

No, Indians, Pinoys, Mexicans etc (I.e. the greencard gang) are the biggest meat riders of the west. Collapse can be spitting them in the face and they'd still be delusional to the end.

If they ever talk about west downfall, it's only because of spite since their H1B got denied, and the implication is always that the west will be supreme again IF ONLY they let 10000000 subcontinentals swarm them, that the west is missing out on so much because they're not opening borders etc. It's not genuine criticism.

As if Trump 2.0 couldn't get more entertaining

Mark my words - hiring Kyle Bass for a treasury role will have the same effect as Trump's first term did on hard tech as it will on the financial system development in China. Kyle Bass will try and apply the kitchen sink of sanctions financially, and it will push Chinese policymakers to make the necessary reforms to make Chinese capital markets great again.

Hire Serpentza and Laowhy too so they don’t go homeless with no healthcare.

I see those two as being more valuable to society as dead and decomposing as au naturel fertilizers for corn than they are alive.

Saudi Arabia loves Trump, as their massive investment shows. I think India is going to be very disappointed in what Trump actually brings to the table, since immigration to America seems to be their biggest concern.

I am pretty sure KSA will normalize relations with Israel during Trump's term in exchange for US concluding defense pact with them or offering support for their civilian nuclear-power programme.

I also have a hunch Russians might end up disappointed with his presidency.

Trump revokes protections for former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and top Iran aide​

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has revoked government security protection for former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his top aide, Brian Hook, who have faced threats from Iran since they took hard-line stances on the Islamic Republic during Trump’s first administration.

A congressional staffer and a person familiar with the matter, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss personal security details, confirmed the change, but neither could offer an explanation. They said that Pompeo and Hook were told of the loss of protection on Wednesday and that it took effect at 11 p.m. that night.

It’s another sign of steps Trump is taking just days into his return to the White House to target those he has perceived as adversaries.

A day earlier, Trump, a Republican, revoked the security clearance and Secret Service protection from John Bolton, who was fired as Trump’s national security adviser during his first term. Bolton later wrote a book whose publication the White House unsuccessfully sought to block on grounds that it disclosed national security information. Bolton, who has been targeted for assassination by Iran, said in a statement that he was disappointed but not surprised by the decision.

Trump also revoked security clearances for dozens of former intelligence officials who signed a 2020 letter saying the Hunter Biden laptop saga bore the hallmarks of a “Russian information operation.”

Trump had soured on Pompeo some months ago, saying publicly that he would play no role in his new administration. In a social media post this week, he fired Hook from his presidentially appointed position on the board of the Wilson Center, a think tank.

Asked about the move to end Pompeo and Hook’s security, Trump replied to reporters: “Do you want to have a large detail of people guarding people for the rest of their lives? I mean, there’s risks to everything.”

That language was similar to the explanation he gave when asked about Bolton’s security detail.

A representative for Pompeo did not immediately reply to a request for comment, and Hook has not responded to multiple voice and text messages from the AP since Bolton was stripped of his protection on Tuesday.

The New York Times first reported on the loss of protections.

The Biden administration’s State Department had provided and then systematically renewed round-the-clock protection by the Diplomatic Security Service for Pompeo and Hook since Jan. 21, 2021, when they left office along with Trump. The last such authorization was on Oct. 21.

Pompeo and Hook were the public faces of the U.S. “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran after Trump withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018, which offered relief on sanctions in exchange for drastically limiting its nuclear program. And Iran has blamed both for the killing of Iran Revolutionary Guard commander Qassem Soleimani on Jan. 3, 2020.

According to a March 2022 report to Congress, the State Department said it was paying more than $2 million per month to provide 24-hour security to Pompeo and Hook. But later determinations did not give a dollar amount.

In those notifications, the State Department told lawmakers that threats against Pompeo and Hook remain “serious and credible” and continue to warrant government-provided security details.

Biden administration officials briefed Trump officials earlier this month about the ongoing threat posed by Iran to Pompeo, Hook, Bolton and others and why the administration had extended the security details for them, according to a former senior Biden administration official familiar with the matter.

The official, who requested anonymity to discuss the private briefing, said Trump administration officials are “well aware” of the “active threats” against the former government officials and called the move “highly irresponsible.”
