The Trump administration is ending the automatic renewal of certain immigration work permits, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
by MARIA TEDESCO | The National News DeskGARY, INDIANA - OCTOBER 30: U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem looks on during a press conference to discuss ongoing immigration enforcement efforts in Chicago and its suburbs on October 30, 2025, in Gary, Indiana.
Noem discussed new limits on commercial driver's licenses for non-citizens as part of the broader Operation Midway Blitz enforcement effort, a federal initiative by President Donald Trump's administration, across the Chicago region. The Trump administration is ending the automatic renewal of certain immigration work permits, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The current rule gives immigrants a period of 540 days for their permit to renew automatically while their documents are pending. Now, the new process, which targets Automatic Extension of Employment Authorization, calls for stricter vetting. USCIS said the new rule is meant to "deter fraud" and "detect aliens with potentially harmful intent so they can be processed for removal from the United States." “USCIS is placing a renewed emphasis on robust alien screening and vetting, eliminating policies the former administration implemented that prioritized aliens’ convenience ahead of Americans’ safety and security,”USCIS Director Joseph Edlow in a written statement. “It’s a commonsense measure to ensure appropriate vetting and screening has been completed before an alien’s employment authorization or documentation is extended. All aliens must remember that working in the United States is a privilege, not a right.” The USCIS is recommending that immigrants renew their work permits promptly, which includes filing for renewal 180 days before expiration. “The longer an alien waits to file an EAD renewal application, the more likely it is that they may experience a temporary lapse in their employment authorization or documentation,” USCIS said. Any individual who filed to renew their Automatic Extension of Employment Authorization after Oct. 30 will not receive the automatic renewal. However, the new rule does not impact those who extended their permit before that date. There are some exceptions to the new rule, according to the USCIS, which include extensions provided by law or through a Federal Register notice for TPS-related employment documentation.King Charles will strip Prince Andrew of remaining titles, evict him from royal residence King Charles III will strip Prince Andrew of his remaining titles and evict him from his royal residence, Buckingham Palace announced Thursday.A backdrop of afternoon blue will highlight our Pacific Northwest fall color nicely on Thursday, but we'll soak it up again with rain by Halloween night.A magnitude 5.6 earthquake shook an area SE of Fox River, Alaska, Thursday morning, according to the National Tsunami Warning Center.It is seen as a contentious idea, but a city leader in Seattle wants to designate funding for a sanctioned homeless camp where people could temporarily live.
