U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has issued new anti-discrimination guidance aimed at enhancing public-facing interactions and reinforcing the agency’s commitment to equitable treatment. The updated Policy Manual emphasizes USCIS’s dedication to nondiscriminatory practices in line with its mission and core values. It underscores that discriminatory treatment based on protected classes or categories is unacceptable. Additionally, the guidance clarifies that USCIS is committed to serving the public without bias, irrespective of their inclusion in federally protected groups. The agency also offers comprehensive anti-discrimination training to all staff to ensure awareness and adherence to the policy. This initiative underscores USCIS’s ongoing efforts to promote transparency, consistency, and quality in its immigration policies and services.
