‘Took me 8 years to get a Green Card’: Indian-origin investor’s immigration journey draws flak

Indian-origin investor says he waited eight years for his Green Card. An Indian-origin investor shared his Green Card journey but got slammed on social media as he was taking sides of those who wait decades for permanent residency in the US, yet do not get it. The post from Arnav Sahu, a Silicon Valley investor, came in the context of the US administration's new Green Card rule that many applicants will have to leave the US and go back to their home country to apply their Green Card as Adjustment of Status in which an applicant could change their non-immigrant visa to Green Card will only be allowed in cases the administration deem fit — and not to all cases.Sahu said it took him eight years to get a Green Card and that was faster as he applied through a special petition via EB-1. EB-1 is meant for people with extraordinary ability, outstanding professors, researchers, managers or executives. Not everyone can qualify for this and hence the wait for this is shorter. “I know of peo..

Thomas Massie files to run again in 2028 for Kentucky seat after Trump-led ouster

After losing a primary challenge to a Donald Trump-backed candidate last week, Republican Rep. Thomas Massie is already preparing for a return to politics in 2028.
The Kentucky congressman has already filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Elections Commission, which will allow him to continue fundraising for any potential campaigns before the next congressional elections.
“I haven’t made a final decision about which office to seek, if I run,” he said Monday.
In an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, Massie said he wasn’t ruling out “anything” for his political future.
“Look, I’ve spent the last five days on my farm with my grandkids, and my cattle, and my peach trees, and it’s a pretty nice life,” he said. “I don’t know if I want to screw that up again. I’ve been in Congress 14 years, fighting. Every hour that passes, I get decompressed a little bit more.”

Hundreds of ICE detainees in New Jersey on hunger strike over ‘unsafe, inhumane and unconstitutional’ conditions

Roughly 300 people locked up inside an immigration detention center in New Jersey are reportedly on hunger strike inside the facility, where detainees have alleged deteriorating and inhumane conditions and a dangerous lack of due process.
The strike follows similar actions in California, where at least 20 immigrants at the Desert View Annex in Adelanto have been on hunger strike for nearly a week to bring attention to allegations of unsafe drinking water and a lack of necessary medical care.
The actions join growing unrest inside Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centers across the country, where immigrants, lawyers and members of Congress are demanding urgent attention to the growing numbers of people in sprawling, prison-like facilities where the vast majority of detainees haven’t been accused of a crime.
“We feel vulnerable and, in a way, kidnapped — detained without justification — not to mention that we are being tortured physically and psychologically due to the poor ..

Foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baqai's remarks came after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said an agreement could possibly be reached on Monday.
“It is correct to say that we have reached a conclusion on a large portion of the issues under discussion,” Baqai said in Tehran on Monday. “But to say that this means the signing of an agreement is imminent – no-one can make such a claim.”
