‘During the Civil Rights Era, there was a thought in effect to create a civil right for people from every part of the world to come to America. People from every part of the world emptied into America between 1965 and today. The single largest experiment ever, over 76 million immigrants and their many descendants.

The first generation is unsuccessful, and you see persistent issues in every subsequent generation. This is common sense. If these societies all over the world continue to fail, you have to ask yourself — if you bring those societies into our country... What do we think's going to happen? You're going to replicate the conditions that they left.’

Trump: ‘I've announced a permanent pause on third-world hellholes like Haiti and Somalia. (crowd: “they're shitholes!”) ... I didn't say shithole, you did. ... Remember I said that? Why do we only take people from shithole countries? Why can't we take people from Norway, Sweden.’

A Mexican who fought with an immigration enforcement agent has been hit with a 20 year prison sentence; DOJ says everyone should consider this a warning.

The DOJ has eliminated disparate-impact regulations today, rolling-back the liability priority of the 1964 Civil Rights Act which gave an advantage to people ‘statistically likely to experience discrimination’ such as non-Whites, the LGBT and non-Christians.

This means discrimination in a federal legal context must be proven by intent and conduct, making it harder to merely accuse businesses or White men of discriminating for maintaining reasonable standards.

DHS largely uses charter flights to carry out its deportations, with help from the Navy and Coast Guard for processing. Buying a fleet will allow additional hundreds of removals a day at its own discretion.

Trump's travel ban, asylum pause and the review of green cards, vetting of visas is starting to stall legal immigration as USCIS personnel put focus on restriction duties. Trump still has plans to expand the travel ban and implement further restrictions.

2001-2010, after 9/11, the U.S. announced only 1,700 security-based visa revocations. In this same period over 300,000 muslims alone entered the U.S. as refugees.

Over 9,500 foreign truckers taken out of service, so far, for failing to speak English.

DHS says from January 20th to December 10th they have forcefully deported 605k migrants and find an estimated 1.9 million other migrants have left voluntarily. Then about 67k migrants are held in detention.

U.S. Navy will be gaining jurisdiction over a sizeable part of the border of California and Mexico for security-defense purposes.

Temporary Protected Status for Ethiopians expires today; Ethiopians with the status have 60 days to sort themselves and leave.

Family Reunification and the option to have parole or legal status is ending for ‘all aliens from Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, and Honduras, and their immediate family members.’ Pending family will be terminated by January 14th.

Because of recent screening increases, thousands of existing H-1B visa holders and H-4 applicants are having their interviews pushed back by several months or more.

Unless or until interviewed these holders will not be approved for renewal and many will remain waiting outside of the U.S.

USCIS is ordering all foreigners to update their photos on file. Any foreigner with a photo that is older than 3 years will be scheduled to appear to take a new one.

Additionally, ‘self-submitted photos will no longer be accepted. Only photos taken by USCIS or other authorized entities will be.’

ICE is collaborating with the TSA to track migrants for detention and deportation purposes. TSA previously did not actively involve itself in immigration enforcement, making this a first time shift for airports.

‘The admin has turned routine travel into a force multiplier for removals’. Aliens are caught, biometrically recorded, banned from our entry-ports and then deported.

We now have over 1,200 police with ICE agreements using the 287(g) program; in January there were only 130 signed on. Everyone should encourage their local city, town and state law to apply for 287(g) if the agency is eligible, thereby increasing overall immigration arrests and removals.
