Trump is constricting legal migration from over 100 countries, with a travel ban on 39, a visa processing freeze on 75, and a bond requirement on 50.

Even immigration from India and China has been put in a chokehold, as H-1B and student visas face a rising wall of restrictions. On top of that, legal asylum seekers are down 99.9%, asylum denial inside the U.S. is over 93% — a historic high, and refugee resettlement is shut down, except for White South Africans.

It isn't just entry either, naturalization is collapsing while immigration benefit processing has dropped dramatically.

The Trump Admin has maintained over 15 months straight of zero migrant releases at the border, the most secure our border with Mexico has ever been.

There are now 2,305 law enforcement agreements with ICE, up 1,607% since Trump took office last year, 67x higher than when Obama left.

The ever-expanding 287(g) program enables officers at a local and state level to hold, identify and arrest illegal aliens for mass deportations.

Trump's DHS carried out another record high month of removal flights in July, the fourth month in a row of record-breaking immigration enforcement under Mullin.

July also set a record for third country removals, had the highest ICE arrest total ever, and continued the pace of June for removal from court. Mass deportations are climbing in a tremendous way.

President Trump's influence over Latin America is remaking the region, with the Trump endorsed or aligned candidate winning every recent major election.

19 countries have joined our Counter Cartel Coalition, and 16 have agreed to third-country deals under the Trump admin's deportation diplomacy. This will benefit ongoing remigration efforts, help stop latin migrants from coming here, and increase military action against violent leftists and narco-terrorists.

The TPS lawsuit for Somalians has been dropped, termination of Somali protected status is now in effect.

Trump is expanding the military role in immigration enforcement.

The DOJ recently granted the military more power to arrest migrants who trespass defense areas along the border, of which there are now six. And in June, the DHS resumed the practice of military-assisted deportations.

Local reports of Haitians being arrested, detained or disappearing have increased across multiple cities and states after their TPS was officially terminated.

Forbes is sounding the activist alarm for employers and foreigners alike: President Trump is now restricting and reducing all legal immigration categories.

Half of the world is under travel restrictions. Entry paths are narrower, legalization rarer. From employment to education, processing has stalled. ‘The agenda is focused on the elimination of legal immigration.’

Refugee admissions are at an historic record low.

Over the past year, the Trump admin has admitted just 10,200 refugees so far — nearly all White South Africans — unlike the decades before Trump, when tens of thousands of third-world refugees were continuously let in. Since 1966, at least, the U.S. has been flooded and filled with unwanted foreigners labeled as refugees. In 2026, Trump has proven that is not inevitable — his admin has cut that off.

Record low refugee admissions under President Trump, turning the tide for the for first time.

All TPS terminations are now in effect. Every defiant judge has backed down, and the DHS has already begun arresting former TPS holders.

With this, President Trump has stripped the unnecessary lawful status from over 1 million migrants.

The Trump admin is deporting people to third countries at a rate never seen before, more frequent than any other admin. Over two dozen countries have participated so far.

More than 23,000 migrants, at least, have been removed using diplomatic deportation agreements, sending certain difficult deportees wherever America deems fit.

USCIS has issued updated public charge guidance, adding another level to Trump's crackdown on legal immigration.

Starting soon on Sept. 18, aliens applying for adjustment of status, green cards, must demonstrate self-sufficiency and prove they will not and have not drained taxpayer-funded government benefits or used any such dependence services.

Public charge rules were put into law in 1882, yet left loosely defined and little enforced ever since. It wasn't until Trump I that it had expanded.

Now, with Trump II, public charge is being unleashed, from the 75-country visa freeze to this upcoming status adjustment squeeze. The Trump admin continues to do things that have never been done before, a long list.

Liberia has accepted a Third-Country deportation deal to take more than a thousand non-liberian foreigners from America.

Axios, CNN and other outlets report that the U.S. has had effective control of the Hormuz Strait for months, transporting 10 million barrels a day through it's own American-run shipping corridor near Iran, mitigating the biggest downside of the conflict without escalation.

After President Trump's successful raid of Venezuela, seizing the leader Maduro and turning the state into a partner ally, America now takes about half of the oil output produced by Venezuela.
