New #TraitorTrump #RacistTrump USCIS Mission Statement
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services administers the nation’s lawful immigration system, safeguarding its integrity and promise by efficiently and fairly adjudicating requests for immigration benefits while protecting Americans, securing the homeland, and honoring our values.
LatinaLista — When Trump was proclaimed the winner of the 2016 presidential election, it didn’t just send shock waves throughout the nation. It chilled most to the bone because they had seen the kind of people he stocked his campaign with, (the same who are now under indictment/investigation by Mueller), and knew their intent of dismantling the government, disavowing scientific facts and their misplaced sense of white superiority.
Week by week, since the inauguration, the Trump administration has attacked the elements of our international standing that many felt strengthened our nation and made it a 21st Century leader. Systematically, this administration has done everything to weaken our international stature, roll back the gains for civil and environmental rights and plunge us deeper into debt, awarding money to the wealthiest while cutting much needed social service programs.
However, even with all the attacks waged by this administration on our nation’s immigration system, it was (naively) believed that some things would remain sacred. Namely, our pride in being a nation of immigrants.
This administration never ceases to appall us.
As of today, the statement that is universally recognized as being synonymous with the United States — “a nation of immigrants” — has been removed from the one government agency whose mission is immigration.
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) created a new Mission Statement, without the iconic phrase.
The USCIS’ Chief of Media Relations, JOhn Withington, told the online news site Intercept, that the mission statement is “effective immediately.”
Asked if USCIS had changed its view on whether the U.S. is a nation of immigrants, Withington wrote, “The statement speaks for itself and clearly defines the agency’s role in our country’s lawful immigration system and commitment we have to the American people.”

BuzzFeed News investigation has disclosed that Missouri carried out seventeen executions between 2014 and 2017 using supplies of the drug pentobarbital it secretly obtained from a pharmacy the Food and Drug Administration had classified as “high risk” because of repeated serious health violations. The February 20 exposé describes a complex system of clandestine meetings, code names, and undocumented cash payments that Missouri employed to conceal the identity of Foundation Care, a suburban St. Louis compounding pharmacy that reporter Chris McDaniel discovered “has been repeatedly found to engage in hazardous pharmaceutical procedures.” Foundation Care—which was reportedly paid more than $135,000 for execution drugs—is alleged to have engaged in illegal practices, medicare fraud, and numerous manufacturing improprieties and, McDaniel reports, its cofounder has been accused of “regularly ordering prescription medications for himself without a doctor’s prescription.” Two former senior employees of the company—including the head of pharmacy operations—have alleged in a lawsuit that Foundation Care violated government regulations by reselling drugs returned by patients, intentionally omitting the names of ingredients in drugs it prepared, and failing to notify other states about a $300,000 settlement with Kansas over allegations of Medicaid fraud. Another suit by a former employee alleges that she was fired after complaining to her supervisors and the Missouri Board of Pharmacy about “serious operational violations.” Missouri switched to Foundation Care after reporters discovered the identifty of the state’s prior secret supplier of execution drugs—an Oklahoma compounding pharmacy called The Apothecary Shoppe.
