USCIS Pleads for Money to Avoid Furloughs, Democrats Float Making the Funds Contingent on Policy Changes

Joseph Edlow, the deputy director for policy at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, pleaded with lawmakers on the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Citizenship and Immigration to provide the $1.2 billion his agency has requested from Congress to avoid furloughing about 70% of its workforce.
