CNN’s Geneva Sands reports that this morning, under the leadership of Director Ur M. Jaddou, USCIS announced a new mission statement that captures the possibility of the United States: “USCIS upholds America’s promise as a nation of welcome and possibility with fairness, integrity, and respect for all we serve.”
