Families are scrambling to secure legal protections while they last.
Zack Ford at ThinkProgress:
President Donald Trump’s war on immigration is about to see yet another escalation with the administration reportedly targeting families of active-duty service members.
According to attorneys familiar with the plans who spoke to NPR on Thursday, the administration is taking aim at certain accommodations for members of the military whose family members are undocumented immigrants and have no means for adjusting their immigration status.
“Parole in place” currently grants these family members a reprieve from deportation and the opportunity to apply for a green card. It is only available, however, in one-year increments. Family members who entered the country legally but overstayed a visa are not eligible, though they could instead receive deferred action for up to two years.
The premise of the “parole in place” program is to ensure that members of the military can focus on the expectations of their deployment without worrying that their family members back home will be kicked out of the country. As immigration attorney Margaret Stock told NPR, “The troops can’t concentrate on their military jobs when they’re worried about their family members being deported.”
Though the administration has not publicly confirmed its plan to end the program, attorneys like Stock have heard tell that the option is “being terminated” and are trying to secure as many parole in place applications for their clients as they can before that happens. Once the change is made, parole in place will reportedly only be available in very rare circumstances.
The administration has already cracked down on the ways the military can provide a path to citizenship. Previously, noncitizen military recruits could apply for naturalization after serving one day of active duty. Under the Trump administration, they must serve 180 days unless they’re in a combat zone.

Some immigrant U.S. Army reservists and recruits who enlisted in the military with a promised path to citizenship are being abruptly discharged, the Associated Press has learned.
The AP was unable to quantify how many men and women who enlisted through the special recruitment program have been booted from the Army, but immigration attorneys say they know of more than 40 who have been discharged or whose status has become questionable, jeopardizing their futures.
“It was my dream to serve in the military,” said reservist Lucas Calixto, a Brazilian immigrant who filed a lawsuit against the Army last week. “Since this country has been so good to me, I thought it was the least I could do to give back to my adopted country and serve in the United States military.”
Some of the service members say they were not told why they were being discharged. Others who pressed for answers said the Army informed them they’d been labeled as security risks because they have relatives abroad or because the Defense Department had not completed background checks on them.
Spokespeople for the Pentagon and the Army said that, due to the pending litigation, they were unable to explain the discharges or respond to questions about whether there have been policy changes in any of the military branches.

More BS from AP: Media report that the ARMY is ‘purging’ minorities NOT TRUE
(National Sentinel) Misleading: POTUS and Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump has often called the disgustingly dishonest establishment media enemies of the American people. The media has protested that characterization.
But on a near-daily basis, they prove him to be 110 percent right.
On Thursday, The Associated Press published an outrageous claim that the Pentagon was essentially purging…
