New from NYT: By executive action alone, the Trump administration has accomplised the largest cuts to legal immigration since the 1920s.

Muslim and African migration is down 90%. Visa issuance to Asia β€” including India and China β€” and Latin America has fallen across the board. (The exceptions of Canada and Mexico are largely tourist and business related, not long-term) H-1B, student visas, green cards and more have fallen sharply.

"All Americans will now be able to go to the fraud.gov and report corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities... If you turn somebody in and you let's say report and find $1 billion, we are giving a commission to that person of 1%. That's a lot of money."

In Springfield, Ohio, the Haitian invasion is facing a strong reversal under Trump.

WaPo: local businesses are shrinking and sales have fallen as formerly TPS holding Haitans lose their jobs, leave the area or get deported. Immigration advocates call the loss 'unprecedented' and increasing.

Many Haitians have ongoing cases, and the DHS has millions of targets from dozens of nations β€” not one group at a time β€” so they aren't solely focused on Haitians, but Haitian removal has risen to a weekly pace, up from a monthly pace, and detention is up more than 100%+.

PBS: The Trump administration is waging a massive crackdown on foreign students and workers by rooting out evident fraud, restricting issuance and vetting renewal.

The BBC says Trump's immigration policy is closing paths Indians use to work, study and stay in the U.S.

Monthly citizenship approvals have fallen to historic lows under Trump, dropping more than 70% in 2026.

Washington Post worries this decline in naturalization has left out β€˜hundreds of thousands’ of immigrants who could have been used as voters in the upcoming Midterms β€” a hard blow to Democrats. If Americans vote Republican, Trump can keep it this way.
