Although this is not immigration-related, I thought I'd take a moment to express how disgusted we are by this morning's announcement by the Trump administration that transgender individuals cannot serve in the U.S. military in any capacity. This action appears to be based purely on transphobia, and it is a huge setback to transgender rights.

We stand with all of the transgender men and women of the military and thank them for their service. We also stand with those who want to serve our country but will now be prevented from doing so. Better days are ahead.

EDIT 7/27/2017: The military has announced that transgender service members can continue to serve until the White House officially changes the guidelines. Stay tuned...
