Klobuchar, Franken, Ellison Introduce Bill that will confront USCIS Relocation Issue and Prevent Similar Errors in the Future

Posted on Feb 25 2016

The Government Services Administration is currently planning to move the Twin Cities USCIS office for immigration services to a location with limited public transportation options

The legislation, authored by Klobuchar and cosponsored by Franken, would require the Government Services Administration (GSA) to verify that the public transit requirement specified in a lease solicitation is met and that public transportation runs regularly throughout the business hours of the building; Ellison will introduce companion legislation in the House of Representatives

Klobuchar, Franken, and Ellison also joined with Representatives Peterson, McCollum, Walz, and Nolan in sending a letter urging the GSA to find alternatives to the proposed Twin Cities USCIS office relocation.
