The push comes as thousands of local workers in battered industries – including most recently United Airlines workers at SFO – face a fresh round of furloughs and layoffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a press event Tuesday, Rep. Jared Huffman, D-San Rafael, said the pandemic has devastated his district’s economy, which is driven by tourism, travel and recreation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We still got a really long, difficult road ahead of us and without decisive, comprehensive help, families and employers in my district, also throughout California and around this country, just can’t keep the lights on for much longer,” said Huffman, whose district spans from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Oregon border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huffman and 218 other House Democrats \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2021/02/26/biden-stimulus-covid-relief/\">passed the American Rescue Plan Act last weekend\u003c/a> without a single Republican vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://huffman.house.gov/imo/media/doc/UPDATED%20HR%201319%20The%20American%20Rescue%20Plan%20Act.pdf\">bill\u003c/a> includes a one-time stimulus check of up to $1,400 per person, and emergency measures to protect jobs, such as $15 billion to extend the Payroll Support Program, which has stopped furloughs and layoffs for workers in the aviation industry but is set to expire on March 31.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Jan. 29, United Airlines notified more than 3,100 workers based at San Francisco International Airport of potential involuntary furloughs starting in April, according to official \u003ca href=\"https://edd.ca.gov/Jobs_and_Training/Layoff_Services_WARN.htm\">filings\u003c/a> the company submitted with the California Employment Development Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About two-thirds of the United workers at SFO who are facing furloughs are flight attendants, said Taylor Garland, a spokesperson for the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA union, which represents nearly 50,000 flight attendants at 17 airlines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flight attendants around the country are calling their representatives and senators to encourage them to vote “yes” on the American Rescue Plan Act, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The last year has been devastating for the airline industry and especially the people on the front lines, including flight attendants,” said Garland. “We fully expect that bill to pass and for the Payroll Support Program to be extended before these furloughs would take effect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Coronavirus Coverage' tag='coronavirus']Republican lawmakers have so far opposed the bill, \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/sarahhansen/2021/03/02/mcconnell-says-republicans-will-fight-bidens-19-trillion-stimulus-bill-in-every-way-that-we-can/?sh=253b6b546005\">saying\u003c/a> it is too expensive and contains provisions that are not directly related to fixing the health crisis. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, vowed to fight the proposal, which he \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/02/politics/stimulus-covid-relief-bill-senate/index.html\">called\u003c/a> a “bonanza of partisan spending.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The relief package that was approved by the Democratic-controlled House and sent to the Senate would also provide more than $71 billion to expand COVID-19 testing and vaccine distribution, $27 billion to address health disparities and protect vulnerable populations, and nearly $130 billion to reopen K-12 schools safely, among other measures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationwide, United Airlines notified 14,000 employees of potential temporary layoffs on April 1, said Annabelle Cottee, a spokeswoman with the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, United also put 36,000 employees on furlough notices, including nearly 7,000 at SFO. Those temporary layoffs were set to go into effect in October 2020, but the company was able to keep many of the workers employed, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cottee stressed the current round of furloughs may also impact fewer employees than the number that received notices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are working on lowering that number just like we did last year,” Cottee said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Patrick Leahy and Montana Sen. Jon Tester, both Democrats who sit on the Senate Appropriations Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We ask that you take immediate action to save USCIS employees from unnecessary furloughs,” wrote Leahy and Tester in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/USCIS%20Final%20Letter%207%2021%2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">letter\u003c/a> to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Acting Secretary Chad Wolf and USCIS Deputy Director for Policy Joseph Edlow. “You must not sit by as thousands of American jobs are on the line, particularly during a time of unprecedented unemployment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the letter, Leahy and Tester said that even though USCIS’ fiscal outlook had reversed, the agency had “perplexingly chosen” to proceed with the furloughs, which would go into effect on Aug. 3 for at least a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessica Collins, a spokeswoman with USCIS, said the agency still requires $1.2 billion from Congress because its financial outlook had not improved enough to sustain operations next fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In order to delay a furlough, we would need a commitment from Congress to fund USCIS, either through passing legislation or indicating that legislation is forthcoming which would meet our ultimate goal of canceling the furlough once we receive funding,” Collins said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DHS, the parent agency of USCIS, and the White House Office of Management and Budget did not immediately return requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Original Story:\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than two weeks before massive furloughs are set to strike the federal agency that processes immigration applications, it’s unclear whether Congress will reach a bailout deal in time to spare more than 13,000 employees and millions of immigrants awaiting key services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stakes are high in California, where hundreds of thousands of immigrants — as well as their American employers and relatives — depend on U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for work permits, green cards, naturalization and other benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USCIS plans to furlough more than two-thirds of its employees, including 2,300 in California, because revenue has dropped dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, USCIS officials told Congress they would need $1.2 billion to avoid the furloughs, which are set to start Aug. 3.

[aside tag=\"immigration\" label=\"more coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Administration has formally requested the resources necessary to keep USCIS running,” said the OMB spokesman in a statement. “Our hope is that Congressional Democrats accept our proposal to keep the lights on in a responsible manner.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USCIS has proposed to pay back to the U.S. Treasury the $1.2 billion it seeks by adding a 10% surcharge to applications paid by U.S. employers, U.S. citizens and immigrants. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.afge.org/article/bipartisan-bill-introduced-to-fund-uscis-to-avoid-furloughs/\">bill\u003c/a> introduced by Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo) this month would do that. But Lofgren and other Democrats have been lukewarm to the idea of raising fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike most federal agencies, USCIS \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/news/news-releases/uscis-proposes-to-adjust-fees-to-meet-operational-needs\">funds\u003c/a> its operations with immigrant application fees. After the agency halted in-person services due to the pandemic and the worldwide travel shutdown, its earnings collapsed by half, starting in March, according to officials. Offices began to \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/uscis-office-closings\">reopen\u003c/a> last month, but revenues are still lagging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This dramatic drop in revenue has made it impossible for our agency to operate at full capacity,” said a USCIS spokesperson. “Without additional funding from Congress before August 3, USCIS has no choice but to administratively furlough a substantial portion of our workforce.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But critics say that the agency was already on shaky financial ground well before the coronavirus tore through the country.

Patrick Leahy and Montana Sen. Jon Tester, both Democrats who sit on the Senate Appropriations Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We ask that you take immediate action to save USCIS employees from unnecessary furloughs,” wrote Leahy and Tester in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/USCIS%20Final%20Letter%207%2021%2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">letter\u003c/a> to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Acting Secretary Chad Wolf and USCIS Deputy Director for Policy Joseph Edlow. “You must not sit by as thousands of American jobs are on the line, particularly during a time of unprecedented unemployment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the letter, Leahy and Tester said that even though USCIS’ fiscal outlook had reversed, the agency had “perplexingly chosen” to proceed with the furloughs, which would go into effect on Aug. 3 for at least a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessica Collins, a spokeswoman with USCIS, said the agency still requires $1.2 billion from Congress because its financial outlook had not improved enough to sustain operations next fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In order to delay a furlough, we would need a commitment from Congress to fund USCIS, either through passing legislation or indicating that legislation is forthcoming which would meet our ultimate goal of canceling the furlough once we receive funding,” Collins said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DHS, the parent agency of USCIS, and the White House Office of Management and Budget did not immediately return requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Original Story:\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than two weeks before massive furloughs are set to strike the federal agency that processes immigration applications, it’s unclear whether Congress will reach a bailout deal in time to spare more than 13,000 employees and millions of immigrants awaiting key services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stakes are high in California, where hundreds of thousands of immigrants — as well as their American employers and relatives — depend on U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for work permits, green cards, naturalization and other benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USCIS plans to furlough more than two-thirds of its employees, including 2,300 in California, because revenue has dropped dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, USCIS officials told Congress they would need $1.2 billion to avoid the furloughs, which are set to start Aug. 3. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
