Riley Gaines recently took a jab at the USCIS's (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) policy of green cards for immigrants after her husband Louis Barker's immigration process was put on hold. The USCIS's policy requires the vaccinated against COVID-19 for green card issuance.
Having met at the University of Kentucky where Gaines was studying health sciences and Barker was pursuing a degree in business administration, they both started dating in 2019. Gaines married her best friend Barker on May 29, 2022.
Barker was born in Crawley, England. He attended high school at Millfield School in the UK and moved to the USA to join the university. Three years after being married, Gaines chimed that he hasn't been granted a green card due to his refusal to get a vaccine against COVID-19.
She opposed the requirement of getting the vaccine before receiving his green card as unreasonable and highlighted the emotional and financial strain they endured in the last three years over the immigration process, only for the submitted forms to expire due to delays in the process.
"Just got another letter from USCIS saying they won't give my husband his green card until he gets the Covid jab," Gaines wrote. "This is ridiculous. We've been married coming up on 3 years. We've spent thousands for the submitted forms to expire on their time. We're hoping for change soon."
Riley Gaines expresses dissent after Olivia Krolczyk gets barricaded during her speech at the University of Washington
Riley Gaines recently expressed her dissent after Olivia Krolczyk was barricaded ahead of her speech at the University of Washington.
Krolczyk is a Riley Gaines Center Ambassador and Campus Reform Reporter, who received a failing mark on a project proposal while pursuing a major in chemistry at the University of Cincinnati for including the term "biological woman."
Resharing Krolczyk's video update from the University of Washington, Gaines wrote:
"This is false imprisonment which is a felony. Outrageous. This is proof that the war against woke hasn't been won quite yet."
Gaines later provided an update on the safety of Krolczyk and wrote:
"Olivia just got let out of the room and taken to the police department. She is safe now. knew about the event and the protests on campus. I hope this is something the federal gov can get involved in."
Riley Gaines once went through a similar situation where she was held to ransom for four hours.
