Trump admin tightens citizenship rules, USCIS expands scope of ‘good moral character'
The Trump administration is indicating it will examine applications from legal immigrants seeking US citizenship more closely, as part of its latest move to restrict access to immigration benefits. The federal agency responsible for legal immigration, US Citizenship and Immigration Services, asked officers on Friday to consider additional factors when assessing whether immigrants applying for US citizenship possess a 'good moral character," according to a report by CBS News. A USCIS notification states that, 'One of the requirements for naturalisation is good moral character (GMC). An applicant for naturalisation must show that he or she has been, and continues to be, a person of good moral character.' The notice further added, 'In general, the applicant must show GMC during the five-year period immediately preceding his or her application for naturalisation and up to the time of the Oath of Allegiance. Conduct prior to the five-year period may also impact whether the applicant meets the requirement.' Reflecting "a good moral character" has always been a key requirement for US citizenship, in addition to passing English and civics tests. Earlier, the "good moral character" assessment typically consisted of an applicant who did not have any record of criminal offences or disqualifying conduct specified in US laws. It included crimes such as murder, aggravated felonies, drug offences and being a habitual drunkard. However, USCIS's policy issued Friday widened the scope of 'good moral character.' The agency stated that it must involve "more than a cursory mechanical review focused on the absence of wrongdoing." The officers have been asked to conduct a 'holistic assessment of an alien's behaviour, adherence to societal norms, and positive contributions that affirmatively demonstrate good moral character.' Applicants will be given "greater emphasis" based on "positive attributes and contributions," such as community involvement, family caregiving and ties, educational achievement, "stable and lawful" employment, duration of residence in the US, and tax payment history. The new USCIS policy instructs officers to consider factors that indicate an applicant's rehabilitation after wrongdoing, such as adherence to probation, paying overdue taxes or child support, and receiving community support letters.

Two siblings found dead inside parked car in Patna's Indrapuri, family alleges foul play
Two minor siblings who had gone missing after leaving for tuition classes were found dead inside a parked car in Patna's Indrapuri locality Thursday evening, with the family suspecting foul play. The victims — a 7-year-old girl and her 5-year-old brother — had left home around 12:30 pm on Independence Day to attend tuition at a nearby teacher's residence. When the children failed to return, their mother Kiran Devi called the teacher around 4 pm and was informed that they had already left for home. The search that began immediately continued for nearly three hours. Around 7 pm, the children were discovered unconscious on the back seat of a silver Hyundai Santro with an Uttarakhand registration, parked barely 100-200 metres from their residence. The vehicle was reportedly lying abandoned in the parking lot of a nearby apartment building. Police reached the spot after receiving a 112-call regarding two children found in 'suspicious condition'. 'The girl was still breathing when they were found. Both were rushed to the hospital but were declared dead on arrival,' said City SP (Central) Diksha. While authorities suspect that the children could have died of suffocation, the mother has alleged her daughter had been strangled and her son bore burn marks. She accused the tuition teacher of foul play. The police sources, however claim no signs of assault were found on preliminary examination. 'The teacher has been questioned and nothing suspicious has emerged so far,' one officer said. Meanwhile, police have seized the car — allegedly abandoned — and a forensic team has collected evidence. CCTV footage shows the children leaving the elderly tutor's home alone. The bodies were sent to their native village in Samastipur for last rites. Police await a postmortem report to ascertain the cause of death. Further investigation is underway.
