REAL NEWS PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT YOU TO MISS Trump Isn’t Attacking NATO. He’s Strengthening It. - The Washington Post “If allies don’t invest in real, usable military capabilities, NATO will become irrelevant,” American Enterprise Institute Fellow Marc Thiessen explains. “NATO needs some tough love, and Trump is delivering it. Thanks to him, the alliance will be stronger as a result.” ------------------------- Brett Kavanaugh is an Excellent Pick for the Supreme Court - New York Post “Once again staying true to his campaign promises, President Trump just nominated Brett Kavanaugh as his pick to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court. It’s an excellent choice — though the coming wave of fear-mongering may hide that fact for a while,” the New York Post Editorial Board writes. “Judge Kavanaugh, 53, is widely seen as one of the top legal minds of his generation.” ------------------------- At the NATO Summit, Trump is Standing Up for Fair Treatment for America - Fox News “Throughout history, leaders of entrenched power structures have not reacted well to change. But President Trump has courage to take them on when necessary,” David Bossie writes in Fox News. “The bottom line is that if all 29 countries in NATO made good on their 2 percent commitment, the U.S. taxpayer would be paying less.” ------------------------- NATO Chief Thanks Trump for Pushing Allies to Boost Defense Spending - The Daily Caller “NATO’s top civilian leader thanked President Donald Trump on Tuesday for pushing alliance members to boost their own defense spending, saying his blunt criticism is part of the reason why more allies are expected to hit spending targets this year,” Will Racke reports. “It is clearly having an impact,” NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said. ------------------------- McConnell: Far-Left Scare Tactics Won’t Stop Kavanaugh's Confirmation - Cincinnati Enquirer “Judge Kavanaugh’s qualifications are so obvious, and his reputation so excellent, that these unhinged attacks may be all that remains in the far left’s arsenal. But the American people will not fall for these tricks. Neither should the United States Senate,” writes Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). ------------------------- Paid Family Leave is an Investment in America’s Families — It Deserves Bipartisan Support - Fox News First Daughter and Advisor to the President Ivanka Trump writes that paid family leave is an investment in America’s families and deserves bipartisan support. “Republicans are at the table, with sincere interest and rolled-up sleeves, looking for smart policy solutions that will empower American working families,” she writes. ------------------------- Politico: “Voters Oppose Abolishing ICE” - Politico “A new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll shows that most voters oppose eliminating Immigration and Customs Enforcement — the homeland security agency some liberal Democrats have called for abolishing,” Steven Shepard reports. ------------------------- Poll: Most ‘Better Off Financially’ Under Trump than Obama - Washington Examiner “For the second time in two weeks, a new national survey has found that most Americans -- and especially Hispanics -- feel that they are better off under President Trump than they were under former President Obama,” Paul Bedard writes. The Emerson College survey found “that 42 percent feel better off, compared to 26 percent who feel worse off.” ------------------------- Arizona Governor Doug Ducey: Calls to Abolish ICE are Wrong and Reckless - USA Today Gov. Doug Ducey (R-AZ) condemned the left’s calls to abolish ICE this week. “In border communities, law enforcement agencies like ICE aren't the enemy: they're a lifeline,” he writes. “There, this isn’t a political debate — it’s real life. The impact of illegal drug cartels, human trafficking, and child sex trafficking on communities and families is real and raw.” ------------------------- Trump's Tariffs Revive Granite City Jobs, and Optimism - Chicago Tribune Samantha Bomkamp reports that in Granite City, Illinois, a steel plant has reopened thanks to President Trump’s tariffs. “Nearly half of the returning 800 U.S. Steel jobs will be filled with employees who were laid off in 2015 when the plant was idled,” she writes.

WASHINGTON - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today posted a policy memorandum (PDF, 113 KB) (PM) that provides guidance to USCIS adjudicators regarding their discretion to deny an application, petition, or request without first issuing a Request for Evidence (RFE) or Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) when required initial evidence was not submitted or the evidence of record fails to establish eligibility.  This updated guidance is effective September 11, 2018 and applies to all applications, petitions, and requests, except for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) adjudications, received after that date. Due to preliminary injunctions issued by courts in California and New York, this new PM does not change the RFE and NOID policies and practices that apply to the adjudication of DACA requests. “For too long, our immigration system has been bogged down with frivolous or meritless claims that slow down processing for everyone, including legitimate petitioners. Through this long overdue policy change, USCIS is restoring full discretion to our immigration officers to deny incomplete and ineligible applications and petitions submitted for immigration benefits,” said USCIS Director L. Francis Cissna. “Doing so will discourage frivolous filings and skeletal applications used to game the system, ensure our resources are not wasted, and ultimately improve our agency’s ability to efficiently and fairly adjudicate requests for immigration benefits in full accordance with our laws.”   The 2013 PM addressed policies for the issuance of RFEs and NOIDs when the evidence submitted at the time of filing did not establish eligibility. In practice, the 2013 PM limited denials without RFEs or NOIDs to statutory denials by providing that RFEs should be issued unless there was “no possibility” of approval. This “no possibility” policy limited the application of an adjudicator’s discretion. The policy implemented in this guidance restores to the adjudicator full discretion to deny applications, petitions, and requests without first issuing an RFE or a NOID, when appropriate. This policy is intended to discourage frivolous or substantially incomplete filings used as “placeholder” filings and encourage applicants, petitioners, and requestors to be diligent in collecting and submitting required evidence.   USCIS will continue issuing statutory denials when appropriate without first issuing an RFE or NOID when the applicant, petitioner, or requestor has no legal basis for the benefit/request sought, or submits a request for a benefit or relief under a program that has been terminated. If all required initial evidence is not submitted with the benefit request, USCIS, in its discretion, may deny the benefit request for failure to establish eligibility based on lack of required initial evidence. Examples of filings that may be denied without sending an RFE or NOID include, but are not limited to:      Waiver applications submitted with  little to no supporting evidence; or Cases where the regulations, the statute, or form instructions require the submission of an official document or other form of evidence establishing eligibility at the time of filing and there is no such submission. For example, an Affidavit of Support (Form I-864), if required, was not submitted with an Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (Form I-485). This PM updates Chapters 10.5(a) and 10.5(b) of the USCIS Adjudicator’s Field Manual and contains an “additional considerations” section. The policy in this “additional considerations” section is not new, and is nearly identical to the policy contained in the superseded 2013 PM.  For more information on USCIS and its programs, please visit uscis.gov or follow us on Twitter (@uscis), Instagram (/uscis), YouTube (/uscis), and Facebook (/uscis).
