Arizona Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego is launching an effort to challenge a new Trump Administration immigration policy that could require many green card applicants to leave the United States and complete the process abroad.

According to a report from The Hill, Gallego is not only seeking to overturn the policy itself but is also pursuing a procedural strategy that could make it easier for Congress to reverse the change.

The dispute revolves around a recent U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) policy affecting how certain immigrants obtain lawful permanent residency.

More questions remain about the three mysterious objects shot down over the U.S. and Canada in the days following the Chinese balloon controversy.

While the Pentagon hasn’t yet recovered debris from the three unidentified objects downed this weekend, U.S. officials have begun offering theories into their origins.

Speaking to Fox News, a senior official stated on Sunday that the objects are believed to be balloons carrying a payload, similar to the Chinese spy craft that drifted over the United States before being shot down off the Carolina coast.

Though they were much smaller than that high-altitude balloon.

Fox News‘ Anders Hagstrom and Lucas Tomlinson report:

Details regarding the object that was flying through Canadian airspace were scarce throughout the weekend, but U.S. officials now describe it as a “small metallic balloon with a tethered payload,” the official told Fox News. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he received a briefing on the issue Sunday and was told that the object in Alaskan airspace on Friday was also believed to be a balloon.

President Joe Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ordered the objects shot down.

The White House released a readout of a call between Biden and Trudeau shortly after the Saturday operation.

“Out of an abundance of caution and at the recommendation of their militaries, President Biden and Prime Minister Trudeau authorized it to be taken down,” the readout said. “President Biden authorized US fighter aircraft assigned to NORAD to conduct the operation and a US F-22 shot down the object in Canadian territory in close coordination with Canadian authorities.”

An F-16 downed a fourth object on Sunday over Lake Huron, near military installations in Michigan.

In contrast to Fox’s report, the Air Force general overseeing U.S. airspace says he isn’t ruling out any potential explanation.

The Guardian has more from Gen. Glen VanHerck, commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD):

VanHerck said the US had adjusted its radar so it could track slower objects, and that the three most recent objects were being called, “objects, not balloons, for a reason.”

Asked whether he had ruled out extraterrestrials, VanHerck said: “I’ll let the intel community and the counterintelligence community figure that out. I haven’t ruled out anything.”

A defence official subsequently told Reuters that the military had not seen any evidence that the objects were extraterrestrial.

Military personnel equipped with specialist diving gear designed for the extremely cold water of Lake Huron were expected to be deployed quickly to search for pieces of the destroyed object.

    These octagonal objects are not balloons and have no obvious means of propulsion so that only leaves anti-gravity as an explanation for their ability to stay aloft. Since no worldly nation has yet invented anti-gravity that only leaves alien technology. If they fall when hit by a missile, why has no information been released on what conclusions the military and scientific experts have drawn from the wreckage? Have the aliens developed upsidaisium, and used it to construct their craft? Are they fueled by the juice of the mooseberry bush? As American citizens we demand answers.

    Why won’t our own corrupt government tell us what is going on. I sure aam getting tired of this diversified not talent circus trying to pass as a government.
