Resource: Fact sheet on USCIS memo
On September 25, 2025, USCIS released a memo [[link removed]] reminding sponsors and household members of their obligations under the affidavit of support. This memo reminds sponsors who file affidavits of support of their obligations under the law, but it does not change current law about or who can sponsor an immigrant. Learn more about the impacts of the memo in our new one-pager, The Facts: USCIS’s Sponsor Obligations Reminder Memo.

Executive Action Spotlight : Disaster relief, HUD rule, USCIS memo, and birthright citizenship
We have good news to share. On September 24, The U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island vacated FEMA’s grant conditions that would have limited disaster relief based on immigration status (in State of Illinois v. FEMA. [[link removed]] The court wrote, “This remedial act available under the APA ensures that the unlawful agency action cannot bind the parties to the instant case, as well as all other entities affected.” The vacatur applies nationwide. The judge also granted a permanent injunction blocking FEMA from restricting disaster relief in the plaintiff states.
Some additional updates:
* ProPublica published an article [[link removed]] on the expected proposed HUD mixed status housing rule, including a link to a leaked draft [[link removed]] , on September 29. The National Housing Law Project published a terrific Know Your Rights explainer [[link removed]] on current policy.
* USCIS released a memo [[link removed]] to remind sponsors of their obligations under the affidavit of support on September 25. The memo did not change current policy about affidavits of support, sponsor deeming, or sponsor reimbursement, or who can sponsor an immigrant. PIF and NILC published a factsheet [[link removed]] with a summary of the policy.
* Finally, on September 26, The NY Times and other sources reported [[link removed]] that the Administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the EO ending birthright citizenship. If the Supreme Court takes the case, the court could hear arguments this coming term, which begins in October.
