Denounce Trump's Cruel New Anti-Immigrant Green Card Policy

Donald Trump just made the legal immigration process crueler, slower, and more dangerous for families who are already playing by the rules.

His administration announced that many people already living in the United States may now have to leave the country and apply for green cards from abroad — unless they can prove “extraordinary circumstances.” That could separate spouses, parents, workers, students, refugees, and longtime community members from the lives they have built here.

For decades, eligible immigrants have been able to apply for permanent residence from inside the United States. Trump’s new policy turns that process into a threat: leave your job, your family, your home, and possibly your safety — or risk being denied.

Add your name to our petition to denounce this heartless anti-immigrant policy and stand with families who should not be punished for following the law.

Trump is trying to make legal immigration so frightening and uncertain that people give up. Immigration attorneys are already warning that the policy could slow applications, create confusion, and scare people away from lawful pathways.

Families should not be forced into impossible choices because Trump wants to slam the door on immigrants. A spouse of a U.S. citizen should not have to leave the country just to keep a family together. A worker or student should not be punished for following the rules. A refugee should not be asked to return to a place they fled for safety.

This policy is cruel by design. It weaponizes bureaucracy against immigrant families and attacks the very idea that people who follow the rules should have a fair chance to build a life in the United States.

Sign the petition to denounce Trump’s heartless attack on green card applicants and immigrant families.
