Work permits have been valid for five years, so this is a significant change.

It applies to immigrants who have been admitted as refugees, have been granted asylum, or have been granted or have a pending withholding of deportation or removal.

USCIS Director Joseph Edlow says the changes to the validity of work permits, quote, will ensure that those seeking to work in the United States do not threaten public safety or promote harmful anti-American ideologies.

The announcement comes in response to the shooting of two National Guard members last week in Washington, D.C.

One of them died.

The alleged shooter is an Afghan national who was granted asylum in April.

Federal Judge April Perry says deploying National Guard troops in Illinois would only add fuel to the fire.

Under her ruling, the National Guard of the U.S.

cannot be deployed within the state.

The block will be in effect for 14 days.

An appeal by the Trump administration is almost guaranteed.

The Trump administration has said the National Guard is needed to protect an immigration processing facility outside of Chicago and protect ICE agents as they conduct arrests.

Trump has said Chicago is a war zone, but protests have mostly been peaceful.

And Judge Perry says the narrative of events presented by the Department of Homeland Security is, quote, simply unreliable.

Trump's comments on social media came after Mayor Johnson signed an executive order prohibiting immigration and customs enforcement from using city-owned space to conduct operations.

Mayor Johnson says this is Trump's mode of operating.

Hundreds of National Guard troops have been deployed to Chicago at Trump's behest, who has called the city a war zone, despite its homicide rates reaching their lowest levels since the 1960s.

Johnson says he will fight what he calls Trump's attacks on his city via policy, in the courts, and in the streets.
