Concerns have been raised by immigrant advocacy groups, particularly for communities like Burmese Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, for the recent USCIS policy changes... Organizations like the Zomi International Refugee Council (ZIRC) express serious concerns that USCIS’s expanded enforcement powers will create a ”chilling effect,” deterring eligible families from seeking humanitarian protection. They fear that stricter scrutiny could lead to minor inconsistencies, translation errors, or trauma-related memory gaps being misinterpreted as fraud. There’s also concern that family or community ties to pro-democracy groups could be mislabeled as security threats, risking denials and removals. Ultimately, they warn of increased denials, removals, and family separations, potentially exposing individuals to armed conflict, persecution, or natural disasters in their home countries.

Honoring the Work and Spirit of the #Zomi People This Labor Day, we honor all Zomi — from the defenders of Zogam who sacrifice for freedom, to the hardworking men and women pursuing dreams across the world, and the supporters who give financially, logistically, and prayerfully. Every effort, near and far, weaves into our shared identity and future. Together, we build hope, unity, and the promise of a federated Zogam. ✨ “Work with hope. Work with unity. Work with faith.” ✨ Department of Public Relations — Zomi Political Coordination Council (ZPCC)

The Zomi Political Coordination Council (ZPCC) recently held an event to launch three official websites and reaffirm the mandate of the Zomi International Conference and the Zogam Charter. These new digital platforms include the ZPCC’s official governance site, a dedicated site for the Zogam Charter outlining principles for self-determination, and the Zomi Research Institute for cultural and technological advancement. The event featured keynote speakers emphasizing the Zogam Charter as the foundation for Zomi nationhood and was attended by over 41 leaders and representatives from various Zomi organizations. This gathering also reaffirmed the Zomi Flag as a symbol of unity and reinforced the ZPCC’s role as an interim representative body with fully established departments to guide the Zomi people toward a self-determined, federated future.

The Zomi National Flag is a sacred emblem of identity, sacrifice, and unbreakable unity. It was not granted but earned through blood, pain, and the crucified dreams of Zomi heroes. More than a symbol, it is a spiritual covenant—linking the living to fallen ancestors and to the homeland, Zogam. It unites all Zomi tribes and generations, reminding them that though scattered, they remain one. To dishonor the flag is to betray the very soul of the Zomi people. As long as it waves, the voice of Zogam lives—and with it, a promise: Zomi will not die unknown.
