    for Indian Express on who Donald Trump prefers succeed Ur M Jaddou at
    USCIS.GOV now that Ken Cuccinelli has defected to Ken Griffin and
    Lachlan Murdoch: <URL:https://indianexpress.com/article/india/h-1b-visa-laid-off-workers-in-us-get-bq-b2-cushion-8515518/>
    | In fact, the US has this facility for anyone visiting the country on
    | B1 (business) or B2 (tourist) status, the USCIS stated. The
    | clarification is expected to assuage fears of Indian citizens on H-
    | 1B visa in the US amid widespread layoffs in the IT sector, which
    | are said to have affected over 1 lakh Indians. In the first quarter
    | of 2023 itself, layoffs -- or "workforce reductions" -- have been
    | effected by tech giants such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo,
    | and Zoom. Several startups have also announced job cuts across
    | sectors.

    Does Susie Wiles worry that Griffin and Murdoch will allow Ron DeSantis
    to outflank Trump from the right by inviting the likes of Mike Emmons
    onto their stage to use their bullhorn to brief legacy American proles
    about the Cheap Labor Lobby's scab worker import pipelines?

    Trump trotted around the White House, was rearrested after securing
    early release. He and three others were caught with thousands of
    dollars in meth and were charged with trafficking. 14/
