DHS is ending the H-1B lottery, replacing it with a selective, restrictive and weighted process that gives priority to high-wage and skill-proven applicants, after the fee. Though this is not an end to the visa, which only Congress can do, it should practically cut off the bottom to middle percentile.

First setback in a while but the ruling is not a final decision and is subject to review.

U.S. State Dept is now imposing visa sanctions on European politicians, lobbyists and other figures involved in censorship measures and other anti-speech pressure.

Apparently the SCOTUS ruling allows Trump to use the regular military anyway, and then the National Guard if necessary, upholding his authority to enforce the law with armed federal forces. Judges love to complicate the law however they can.

The Trump admin is redirecting pending asylum applications and adjustments to court for reapplication in other countries, outright cancelation and deportation.

NPR finds that over 1.6 million migrants have lost legal status since Trump took office, or are slated to lose it in coming months. This is ‘the largest effort ever’ done to take out ‘lawful’ foreigners.

Federal judge in Washington says Trump is acting within his authority by applying a $100k fee to all new H-1Bs, rejecting the attempt by the U.S. chamber of commerce to stop Trump from applying the high fee.

Murder, vehicle theft, robbery, burglary and property crime are all down this year by 10-20%. Changing the law to put repeat offenders away for good and executing more of criminals would drop the crime rate even more, especially in diverse cities.

ICE is seeking contract options to expand the capacity and size of mass detention and mass deportation for 2026-2029. Industrial-detainment and staging grounds for expedited removal flights are in talks.

Catholic groups make up a majority of the multibillion dollar mass migration industry; bishops and the pope have alarmed about remigration and made requests for mass deportation to slow down. One reason may be that many illegals are Catholic.

New DHS rule slated for 2026 will shut down the ‘fair’ H-1B lottery, replacing it with a weighted system in four levels. The lower levels will see a drop in chance of acceptance, so current and new H-1Bs start to get shut-out from entry level jobs.
