Lying about US citizenship means lifetime ban, USCIS warns immigrants
USCIS warning, US citizenship lie, lifetime ban, immigration fraud, false claim rule, inadmissibility, US immigration law, Trump crackdown, immigrant population, deportation risk, visa denial, immigration guidanThe US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has issued a blunt warning to immigrants: Lying about being an American citizen could result in a permanent bar from entering or staying in the country. In its updated policy manual, the agency said it is 'restoring robust screening and vetting processes to detect aliens seeking to defraud or abuse the immigration system,' adding that 'aliens who use false information or deceitful practices to unfairly obtain immigration advantages will face serious consequences.' What the rule says The change centres on the 'false claim to US citizenship' ground of inadmissibility, which Congress introduced on September 30, 1996. Since then, any immigrant who makes such a claim to gain an immigration or legal benefit is permanently inadmissible, usually with no option for a waiver. USCIS explained that Congress allowed a narrow exception for those who had been permanent residents in the United States before turning 16. The agency also referred to a 2019 ruling by the Board of Immigration Appeals in Matter of Zhang. That decision established that a false claim can still have consequences even if the person did not knowingly misrepresent themselves. USCIS incorporated the ruling into its guidance in 2020, noting that 'it is not necessary to show intent to find an alien inadmissible for a false claim to US citizenship.' How officers will apply the guidance According to USCIS, the latest update 'provides the steps an officer should follow to determine inadmissibility' and sets out the factors that must be considered in evaluating a false claim case. The guidance applies immediately to all pending and future applications. The agency said the effort is not only about enforcement but also education. 'We are actively increasing public awareness among aliens and the public about the consequences of committing immigration fraud,' USCIS said. US immigrant population falls by 2 million The warning comes as new government data suggests the immigrant population in the United States may have fallen by around 2 million in the first six months of the year. Steven Camarota, director of research at the Washington-based Centre for Immigration Studies, said the figures may reflect President Donald Trump's stricter immigration approach. In his analysis, he wrote that tougher enforcement could be discouraging foreign-born respondents from completing surveys or from identifying themselves as immigrants. 'It is possible that the observed decline in the foreign-born was due, at least in part, to a greater reluctance by immigrants to participate.' Julia Gelatt, associate director of US immigration policy at the Migration Policy Institute, told USA Today that fear was shaping behaviour in many households. 'Because of the atmosphere – the mass deportation campaigns, the constant announcements – immigrants might be more reticent to answer,' she said. She added that many families could now be too scared to disclose their status. 'They may be afraid to say they are a noncitizen,' said

Leaked letter controversy continues to haunt Kerala CPI-M as businessman unrelenting
Thiruvananthapuram: Businessman Mohammed Shershad, on Thursday, claimed that he has received a lawyer's notice from Kerala CPI-M Secretary M.V. Govindan in connection with the ongoing letter leak controversy. Shershad said the allegations raised in the notice are "baseless" and reiterated through a Facebook post that it was Govindan's son who leaked the letter. "I have never accused the CPI-M or the party's state secretary. My allegation was specifically about the relationship between Govindan's son and UK-based businessman from Kerala, Rajesh Krishna, and I had only pointed out my suspicion that the son was behind the leak. I stand firmly by what I said earlier," he wrote. He also alleged that Rajesh Krishna's role in the matter would eventually be exposed. "A thief may escape for long, but one day he will be caught. That is the situation Rajesh Krishna is in today," he wrote. Shershad said he has entrusted an advocate who handles his cases in the Delhi High Court, Ernakulam District Court and Family Court, to draft a detailed response to the legal notice. According to him, the notice was delivered at his Chennai residence through registered post at 10:45 a.m. on Wednesday. "The contents of the notice are completely false. I will be giving a clear reply to it," Shershad clarified in his post. On Thursday, Govindan broke his silence and dismissed it as "absolute nonsense" and "baseless". "I have by now started legal proceedings against the person. The party has no rhyme or reason to intervene in letters that has no basis. Krishna's unit in the party is directly under the national leadership and whatever needs to be done will be done by the politburo. You just wait as till May 2026 (when Assembly elections takes place) a lot many more baseless allegations will start emerging," Govindan said. The controversy over the leaked letter has triggered a political storm in the state, with the businessman's allegations directly implicating the family of the State CPI-M Secretary
