Trump's reshape of immigration courts is preventing hundreds of thousands of aliens from becoming lawful.

All year, immigration courts have maintained the lowest asylum grant rate in history — asylum denial hit its highest point in May at roughly 93%, and rose again in June, to 94%. Both higher than that of every year since 1980.

Immigration courts are very important for our mission.

These courts have issued more removal orders under Trump than any other president. Bond denial, asylum denial and deportation orders rising facilitate more aliens into departure or deportation — a reverse migration pipeline.

MSNOW fears “Stephen Miller's patience is paying off.”

The admin is rescinding legal status en masse while restricting legal migration across the board, and ICE arrests have surged beyond all records with far less drama and more targets. ‘And further restrictions are coming.’

“Trump's ICE has detained more people than the population of Atlanta”, or more than all of Wyoming, the Marshall Project alarms.

Unlike prior adminstrations, immigration researchers and experts say Trump's detentions and deportations are nearly all of aliens from the interior, even arresting people released years ago.

Border crossings hit all-time lows, yet alien arrests remain at all-time highs. Despite interference from activist judges, inaction by Congress and the resistance of major cities, Trump is outperforming every single past administration on deportations, especially Obama.

President Trump's Most Favored Nation policy and his TrumpRx project — see https://trumprx.gov — have successfully lowered prescription drug prices. Trump is the first president to lower real drug prices, making useful medication more accessible for the first time in 60 years.

A federal judge has halted Virginia from eliminating existing 287(g) agreements with ICE, a huge win for enforcement.

The latest deportation data shows ICE arrests have surged to new highs, even in New York, as DHS takes a “quieter, more efficient approach”.

ICE arrests have spiked in NYC and doubled across upstate NY, driven by a greater focus on aliens with ‘no criminal history’ in the US.

The Trump admin is restoring the obligation states have to report known illegal aliens who have applied to use or have used public services like cash assistance in the jurisdiction of said state. Since 1998, there was no requirement to do so. The Trump admin has changed that.

Another case of Trump wielding good provisions and withdrawing bad policy that's sat for decades.

The Trump admin is pulling every lever to support immigration enforcement, including first-ever fines on illegals, penalties on immigration attorneys, now this welfare reporting requirement. Elections do matter, and the Trump admin continues to deliver.

“ICE is arresting more people than ever”, Salon and NBC report.

ICE has made record-breaking arrests in June, July and August, alongside a back-to-back rise in alien removals. Thanks to growing 287(g) agreements and quiet but expansive enforcement, mass deportations are ramping up.

Mass Deportations are happening: ICE has now set three straight months of record-breaking arrests, netting the highest totals in agency history. June, July and August dwarf decades prior.

Unlike previous admins, which focused on border crossers and select targets, Trump's ICE is detaining and deporting record numbers of illegal aliens from the interior. And it isn't just the 'worst of the worst'. ICE has arrested more aliens with "no criminal record" in the first 7 months of 2026 than it did in all of 2025.

Since Mullin's confirmation, ICE has begun arresting visa overstays, former TPS, and worksite raids have increased.

Immigration attorneys are demoralized. A mexican atty. in L.A. says virtually none of her cases are winnable anymore. Under Trump, she sees her clients set for deportation faster and more often than ever before. Rejection and removal has become the de facto default outcome.

“Everyone’s on the chopping block now ... It's never been this bad”

Report from CIS, citing CPS and others, estimates:

"The total foreign-born population declined 2.9 million from January 2025 to July 2026... The huge recent decline in the foreign-born population indicates that net migration to the United States was negative in the last year and a half for the first time since the 1930s."
