    💰

    The Department of State has issued a final rule that updates the criteria for issuing "diplomatic type" or "official type" visas, aiming to better align with U.S. laws and international travel practices. This rule expands the previous definition of passports by including non-national travel documents, such as those from organizations like the United Nations, as potential equivalents to diplomatic passports. It also clarifies the categories of individuals who can receive these visas, making distinctions to avoid confusion between visa types and classifications. These changes ensure that the visa issuance process for diplomatic, official, and regular types is consistent and transparent.

    The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is amending a regulation concerning the care of unaccompanied alien children (UACs). This interim final rule removes a previous provision that prohibited the sharing of immigration status information of potential sponsors with law enforcement. The change is necessary because the provision conflicted with federal law, which requires no restriction on sharing immigration status information with the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The rule is effective immediately, and public comments are invited until May 27, 2025.
