Good morning everyone,

Reading the Daily breakdown is a bit like waiting in line for Al’s breakfast. It takes a few minutes, but once you get your food you’re locked in for the rest of the day.

Top story is from campus today, as U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is instructing U.S. clients not to contact attorneys. Also from campus, a feature on the tap dance student group. On opinion, the libraries remain underrated, and media connects us more than we think. For A&E, check out some holiday market features and for sports, a Northwestern game after-event review.

Thanks for scrolling. Go enjoy your food.

Very Respectfully,

Minnesota legal group confirms USCIS instructed permanent residents not to contact attorneys during site visits

by Nick Scibelli | Campus Reporter and Anshu Patel | Investigative Reporter | Published Nov. 24, 2025

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services told several permanent U.S. residents they could not speak with their attorneys during investigation interviews. Legal advocacy nonprofit Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid confirmed this information.

USCIS has intensified in-person site visits across the Twin Cities in recent weeks, including at the Commonwealth Terrace Cooperative, a University of Minnesota student housing residence. In September, USCIS announced the results of “Operation Twin Shield,” a joint investigation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the FBI that allegedly uncovered 275 cases of suspected immigration fraud in the Twin Cities area.

USCIS officers asked naturalization candidates — permanent residents applying for citizenship — for tax documentation, employment information and information about their dependents, according to local legal aid offices.
