Trump admin pauses visa appointments worldwide amid heightened screening for applicants
Consular officers must complete training on restrictive public charge guidance before rescheduling visa appointments
The Trump administration has directed U.S. embassies and consulates around the world to postpone immigrant visa interviews while consular officers complete training on new public-charge guidance, temporarily stalling applications that have reached the interview stage.

Feeling heartbroken? Listen to “I Will Always Love You.” Feeling in love? “Islands in the Stream.” Feeling empowered? “9 to 5.”

James O’Keefe Drops Undercover Video of DMV Workers Contradicting Murkowski’s SAVE America Act Claims
The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday dropped another video exposing Senator Lisa Murkowski and Alaska’s voting laws.
Senator Murkowski says she opposes the SAVE America Act which would require voter ID.
Murkowski demonstrated that a person living on the small Alaska islands would not be able to vote if the SAVE America Act was passed because they would have to travel all the way to Anchorage to get an ID.
James O’Keefe went to a small Alaskan island called Unalaska and asked DMV workers if he had to travel 800 miles to Anchorage to get an ID.
