Trump’s New Social Media Policy
Washington, DC:
Green card holders living in America may soon be required to surrender their social media accounts to the government under a new proposal by President Donald Trump administration’s as part of their crackdown on immigration. Visa applicants living abroad are already required to share their social media handles with US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Now, under the new proposal, the policy will expand to those already living legally in America and are applying for permanent residency or seeking asylum.
The move could potentially allow the White House to bar critics from making the United States their home. It will affect many Indians living legally in America and are active contributors to Indian and US politics. The increased scrutiny from the government could discourage these people from speaking on political matters online due to the risk of negative consequences.
Alien Registration Requirement
Alien Registration Requirement
On Jan. 20, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion, which directed the Department of Homeland Security to ensure that aliens comply with their duty to register with the government under section 262 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (8 U.S.C. 1302), and ensure that failure to comply with the registration requirement is treated as a civil and criminal enforcement priority.
The INA requires that, with limited exceptions, all aliens 14 years of age or older who were not registered and fingerprinted (if required) when applying for a U.S. visa and who remain in the United States for 30 days or longer, must apply for registration and fingerprinting. Similarly, parents and legal guardians of aliens below the age of 14 must ensure that those aliens are registered. Within 30 days of reaching his or her 14th birthday, all previously registered aliens must apply for re-registration and to be fingerprinted.

Dealing with medical treatment, going back to work, and getting your vehicle fixed are just a few of many things a car accident victim has to deal with. And, of course, the part that everyone dreads the most is dealing with insurance companies.
After you have been in a car accident, one of the first people to call is your insurance company to make a claim. However, we encourage you to call an experienced personal injury attorney like our legal team at the Gainza Law Group before you do so.
There are numerous reasons why you should call your personal injury lawyer first, but here are just a few pointers to keep in mind when dealing with your insurance company and any third party companies after a car accident:

Unfortunately, many drivers believe that with only minor injuries and property damage they do not need an attorney. That couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s imperative for you to speak with an attorney after a car accident to better understand your options.

What Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
