President Trump has just tossed out the Biden-era mandate requiring legal immigrants to get the COVID vaccine to be eligible for permanent residency.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website has just been update with an alert stating, “USCIS will not deny any adjustment of status application based on failure to present COVID-19 vaccination documentation.”
Check it out:
🚨🇺🇸 TRUMP AXES COVID VAXX MANDATE FOR LEGAL IMMIGRANTS
Effective immediately, USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services)—the federal agency overseeing legal immigration—waives all COVID-19 vaccine requirements for permanent residency applicants.

From the USCIS website:
Effective Jan. 22, 2025, USCIS is waiving any and all requirements that applicants for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident present documentation on their Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, that they received the COVID-19 vaccination. USCIS will not issue any Request for Evidence or Notice of Intent to Deny related to proving a COVID-19 vaccination. USCIS will not deny any adjustment of status application based on the applicant’s failure to present documentation that they received the COVID-19 vaccination.
ABC 7 News reported:
The Trump administration on Wednesday announced it will not require those immigrating to the U.S. to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
A notice shared via the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website notes immigrants will no longer be asked to show evidence of having received the vaccine. Applications that do not report a COVID vaccination status will not be denied under the change, according to the notice.
The protocol was first implemented in October 2021 under former President Joe Biden. Immigrants are still asked to receive a number of other vaccines before entering the U.S., including those for polio, measles, hepatitis B and tetanus.
President Trump saved Rep. Thomas Massie some work on a bill he was preparing, with Massie reacting to the news on X:
I have a bill to end the COVID jab mandate for legal immigrants, but Trump just suspended the mandate. Hallelujah! pic.twitter.com/bArvC0zfV6

Hallelujah is right!
This should have been rescinded a long time ago, especially after Fauci admitted the horrific side effects associated with the experimental mRNA vaccines…
Next step is justice for those adversely effected by such cruel mandates.
