Vice President JD Vance announced the Trump administration’s new restrictions on the H-1B Visa program. These new restrictions effectively end U.S. corporate reliance on “cheap foreign labor” for high-level positions, which effectively freeze Americans out of the highest potential seats of power.

Deported to Central African Republic, a transgender woman who lived openly in Miami is hiding again– abcnews.com

EXCERPT:

DAKAR, Senegal — In Miami, Daniela Fuentes styled hair for clients and performed in drag at a nightclub called Azúcar. She wore her blond wig in public and dressed as the woman she had known herself to be since adolescence in Cuba.

Now, more than 6,000 miles (10,000 kilometers) away in the Central African Republic, she wears men’s clothes, lowers her voice and tries not to draw attention to the breasts she developed after beginning hormone treatment as a teenager. As part of U.S. efforts to deport people to countries other than their own, authorities sent her Aug. 29 to a place where she has no ties and where advocacy groups have reported arbitrary detention, torture, and other rights violations of sexual and gender minorities.

“Everything is difficult here because I have to hide who I am,” said Fuentes, a 32-year-old transgender woman living on a compound she rarely leaves, sharing a room with four Cuban men also deported from the U.S. “I don’t know this place, the people or the language, and I have no idea what will happen to me.”

The Central African Republic — one of the world’s poorest countries, a place with a history of conflict that the U.S. State Department advises American travelers to avoid — is one of at least 12 African nations that signed agreements to accept “third-country” deportations, a policy the U.S. Supreme Court last month allowed to continue, at least temporarily.

In the Central African Republic — where transgender people have little to no legal protections and are marginalized in much of society — Fuentes dons her wig only in the privacy of her bathroom. She described disguising herself as protection, first in U.S. detention and now in a country she first heard of when she was already headed there on a deportation flight.

“My whole life, my whole identity, was taken away from me,” Fuentes said.

New York Defied ICE Detainers. Then the Illegal Aliens Stabbed a Detective. – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

New York City authorities have been overlooking crime after crime by two Dominican illegal aliens whom the Biden administration released into our country. Democrats even refused to cooperate with a federal custody request. Then the illegal aliens stabbed a New York Police Department detective.

In other words, if either the Biden administration or the Adams or Mamdani administration in New York had followed the law, these two illegal aliens would not have been in our country at all; they would have been in federal custody and deported a long time ago. We do not know for certain just how many crimes in America would never have happened in the absence of Democrats’ open borders and soft-on-crime policies, but the number is no doubt high.

Sources within the Department of Homeland Security shared the information about the burglary and stabbing with Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin on Tuesday. The biggest problem right now is that the violent foreign criminals are currently on the run.

An illegal alien who shot an off-duty Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer in the face has received the maximum 15-year prison sentence, after a criminal history marked by repeated arrests and releases despite a deportation order.

U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska threw the book at Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, a 22-year-old Dominican national.

The dangerous career criminal pleaded guilty to his role in the July 19, 2025, attack in Manhattan’s Fort Washington Park.

“There is an overwhelming need to send a message to people who come to the U.S. to commit crimes,” Preska said, according to the New York Post.

Mora Nunez crossed illegally into Arizona in 2023 and was released into the country by the Biden administration, according to law enforcement sources.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said he received a deportation order in 2024.

He nevertheless remained in the United States, shielded by “sanctuary” policies, accumulating multiple arrests before the shooting.

A Denver man’s roommates turned his home into a torture chamber after uncovering his family’s law enforcement ties, launching a brutal ransom plot at the direction of violent Tren de Aragua (TdA) leaders, federal prosecutors said Monday.

The alleged victim survived days of abuse before escaping and walking into a police station missing a finger, prosecutors said.

His captors had recorded the torture and sent the video to his wife, demanding money from his family in Venezuela.

Darwin Veliz-Gonzalez, Jefferson Balza-Delfin and Yender Enrique Campos-Malave, all Venezuelan nationals, were each sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for the kidnapping and torture, the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado announced.

A fourth defendant’s sentencing was postponed.

“This is what Tren de Aragua was doing in our community,” US Attorney Peter McNeilly said. “Colorado is safer with these violent criminals in federal prison for the next 20 years, and we will continue to pursue every member of Tren de Aragua until there are no more left in our state.”

The victim had been renting a room in the Denver home, when his roommates learned that he and his father were police officers in Venezuela and took him captive, prosecutors said.

ICE officers can still arrest illegal immigrants without additional criminal histories, including during operations targeting someone else. The Trump administration says that has not changed.

President Donald Trump told Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin that anyone in the country illegally remains “on the table” for arrest and deportation. ICE field offices also received new guidance reaffirming that authority. 

“I’ve spoken on the phone with President Trump and nine ICE & DHS sources about this today. Here’s what I’ve learned.

Yes, this verbal guidance did go out to ICE offices across the country last night. I’ve spoken with ICE agents who received it & were shocked & frustrated by it. It’s unclear who it started with. However, I’m told it’s erroneous, was some type of “miscommunication” during conversations about prioritizing “worst first”, and there is no change in immigration enforcement policy. President Trump tells me anyone in the country illegally remains “on the table” for ICE arrest & deportation. I’m also told new guidance went out to ICE field offices tonight to reaffirm this and that yes, arrests of illegal aliens and “collaterals” without additional criminal history will continue. ICE sources confirm to me they received the new guidance.

I’m not really sure what happened here – but everyone is on the same page, including President Trump, in telling me that his immigration enforcement agenda isn’t scaling back.”

Trump Invokes Rare Authority To Cancel Nearly $1,000,000,000 In Congressionally Approved Spending– dailycaller.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

President Donald Trump has moved to cancel more than $800 million that Congress approved for refugee aid, migrant education and diversity programs.

The White House announced late Friday it would rescind $810 million in appropriated funds through a rare budgetary tool called a pocket rescission, according to CBS News. The largest cut, $567 million, hit Health and Human Services (HHS) accounts that funded nonprofits serving refugees and asylees, according to the administration.

Officials argued the money is no longer needed because illegal crossings have fallen sharply under Trump’s border policies. They labeled the spending wasteful and harmful to taxpayers. (RELATED: Lisa Murkowski ‘Strongly’ Objects To Trump Admin Quest To Cancel $5 Billion In Foreign Aid)

The reductions also covered $70 million for programs the administration branded “Woke International Education,” $56 million in Housing and Urban Development (HUD) counseling grants and $25 million in migrant student education. The education money once paid for an LGBT youth summit and “Therapy for Latinx” workshops.

Among the groups losing support was Southwest Key Programs, which received $40 million and faced a Justice Department suit alleging its staff sexually harassed and abused unaccompanied minors, according to the White House. Another was Global Refuge, an immigration nonprofit led by a former policy director for Michelle Obama.

The cuts drew a rebuke from Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee, according to CBS News. She called the package an effort to “undermine Congress’s Constitutional power of the purse” and said lawmakers received no warning, according to her statement on X.

Trump administration cracks down on fraudulent ‘birth tourism’– www.lifesitenews.com

EXCERPT:

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the Trump administration will restrict visas for individuals who “engage in or facilitate” birth tourism, a practice that exploits the United States’ 14th Amendment granting automatic citizenship to any child born within the U.S.

“Foreign commercial birth tourism networks have exploited the U.S. immigration system to sell U.S. citizenship for profit. These networks advertise and coach foreign nationals to lie on U.S. visa applications and collect tens of thousands of dollars to arrange births on American soil for the sole purpose of obtaining U.S. citizenship,” Rubio explained in a press release. 

The new policy targets foreigners “who knowingly engage in, have engaged in, or facilitate birth tourism to the United States, including owners, operators, and managers of commercial birth tourism facilitation networks, visa ‘fixers’ who coach applicants to commit fraud, foreign medical providers who knowingly abet and facilitate such travel and the fraudulent use of our Medicaid system, and other individuals who support, abet, and enable commercial birth tourism.”

The Trump administration has sought to use every tool at its disposal to defend the integrity of U.S. citizenship, protect American public benefits and U.S. taxpayers from exploitation, and safeguard national security according to the Secretary of State. 

“By restricting visa issuance of those who both engage in and profit from this fraud, we are sending a clear message: The United States will not allow foreigners to exploit our immigration system and violate the sanctity of U.S. citizenship,” he declared.

A migrant caravan is marching toward the US border ahead of the midterm elections.

More than 400 aliens from the Honduras entered Mexico on Thursday en route to the United States, Reuters has confirmed.

At least two NGOs are funding this caravan.

According to independent reporter Anthony Aguero, “Proyecto Faro and ADRA” are the two main NGOs assisting the migrant caravan:

Proyecto Faro, the immigrant support nonprofit out of Rockland County, New York, is funded by a mix of foundations, nonprofits, and government grants. Mainly funded by a Jewish Foundation, The Harry Donenfeld Foundation, named for the Jewish immigrant who co-founded DC Comics.

Another major donor is The Gitlin Family Foundation which is also Jewish-led. The Freedom Together Foundation, another major donor was founded in 2012 by Barbara Picower as the JPB Foundation, renamed Freedom Together in 2024.

The money came from her late husband Jeffry Picower’s estate, he was Jewish, and their earlier Picower Foundation gave to other Jewish causes.

ADRA stand for the Adventist Development and Relief Agency, its the humanitarian arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, a “Christian” denomination.

Its biggest funder is the U.S. government, mainly USAID, which has given it roughly three hundred eighty-five million dollars across over a hundred awards. in August 2026 ADRA was named a partner in the State Department’s new Faith and Community Initiative.

Their last report clarifies they were given at least 36 million US dollars by the end of 2025… more to come.

This past Tuesday, a coalition of progressive student groups from Rutgers University took to the streets to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement, aka ICE, and to present school officials with a list of demands.

According to The Daily Targum, the People Power Coalition — which includes Students for Justice in Palestine, the Young Democratic Socialists of America Rutgers chapter and the Climate Revolution Action Network — previously had presented Rutgers officials with a set of 14 demands which it said “must” be addressed by September 1.

But administrators “failed to meet or agree to” that deadline.

The coalition’s demands include making it “official policy” that campus police will not cooperate with ICE, “continued support” for “cultural centers for vulnerable communities,” and an official statement that Rutgers will “affirm” protection of “undocumented, immigrant, and international students, transgender students, and students of color.”

In addition, PPC representative Brea Yumiguano, who identifies as non-binary, “intended” to have a meeting with Rutgers Executive Vice President and General Counsel William Castner regarding making the school a “sanctuary campus,” but his staff reportedly “delayed” and then cancelled it.

In a statement posted to Instagram, the PPC accused Rutgers of canceling the meeting (and “blocking” entrance to the building) out of “retaliation.”

EXCERPT:

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration plans to limit the number of refugees admitted to the country to 17,500 mostly white South Africans, the administration told Congress Tuesday, as it continues to transform a program that at one point served as a pathway to safety for people fleeing war and strife from countries around the world.

In a notice to Congress obtained by The Associated Press, the administration said the white South Africans faced seizures of their land and other forms of persecution and would be likely to assimilate when they come to America. The South African government has repeatedly rejected the idea that the white South Africans, who are Afrikaners, are a persecuted minority in the home country.

The Trump administration has dramatically altered a refugee program that historically enjoyed strong bipartisan support as it welcomed tens of thousands of refugees from countries around the world to new lives in America, and instead the administration has transformed it into a vehicle to resettle white South Africans in America.

The administration told Congress in the announcement that it intended to spend about $500 million to resettle the new arrivals to the U.S.

Presidents set the cap on how many refugees the U.S. will approve through the program each year, and historically, they’ve allocated those numbers across various geographic regions while factoring in wars or conflicts that spark humanitarian needs around the globe.

 

Brandon Gill Blasts Democrats for Using Illegal Immigration As ‘Path to Political Power’– townhall.com

It’s no secret that Democrats see illegal immigration as a way to fundamentally transform America. By importing people from cultures that are wholly incompatible with our own, they seek to destroy this country and subjugate its citizens to a Third-World quality of life. But Rep. Brandon Gill isn’t going to let this happen on his watch, and he’s calling out the Democrats who want to give benefits to every illegal alien, and are even suing to do so.

“It’s what you expect from the party that as a matter of policy brought millions of illegal aliens into our country. Who just last fall shut down our federal government in order to give healthcare benefits to those illegal aliens,” Gill said, “and who are right now suing the federal government, the Trump administration, to give more welfare to illegal aliens.”

“I mean what you see anytime there is law enforcement versus the illegal aliens, Democrats will impulsively side with illegal aliens, no matter what the facts are, whether they know the facts or not,” he continued.

Gill is referring to the anti-ICE protests in Austin following the non-fatal shooting of an illegal alien with a final order of deportation.

“It is a party that is fundamentally against law and order,” Gill added. “Fundamentally against America’s sovereignty, and against the American people.”

Gill also said Democrats see illegal immigration as a path to political power.

Where Did 4.5 Million Illegal Aliens, Who Arrived Under Joe Biden, End Up Staying in the U.S.? – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

EXCERPT:

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Pew Research Center data, Border Patrol recorded about 7.7 million encounters at the U.S.–Mexico border between Fiscal Years 2021 and 2025. Those numbers include illegals who were captured more than once and people who were immediately expelled.

Estimates of the U.S. unauthorized immigrant population, meaning the total number of illegal aliens who live in the country, grew by roughly five million people between 2019 and 2024 (reaching a peak population of 15.8 million in mid-2024). There were also an estimated 2 million “gotaways” who entered the country illegally between 2021 and 2024 and were never apprehended or detected.

Where did those five million people end up living?

“An analysis of federal records obtained by The Associated Press traces the self-reported destinations of 4.5 million migrants released into the United States after crossing the Mexican border between October 2018 and July 2025,” reports the Daily Wire. “The records show illegal immigrants from around the world dispersing far beyond communities along the southern border, reaching major cities, suburbs, and smaller communities with relatively low immigrant populations.”

None of those communities requested this massive influx. Most were ill-prepared for the sudden population increase. The strain on many communities’ services and infrastructure was severe; in many cases, they broke under the strain.

The illegals were from 150 countries, according to the AP report, and “Venezuelans and Cubans accounted for the largest numbers of migrants in the data, with roughly 773,000 and 539,000 arrivals, respectively.”

 Other Latin American countries that sent us significant influxes of citizens included Mexico, Colombia, and Honduras.

This new planter parade, no doubt the first of many, stepped off from the Gran Central Metropolitana in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, with a modest 400 souls in its ranks. Who knows how much those ranks will swell as the caravan treks across Guatemala and grinds up the 1,500-plus miles through Mexico? It’s like watching hurricanes form up in the Atlantic whenever Democrats are in danger of taking power: Uh oh, it’s migrant season! Tropical Parade Miguel is forming up in Central America, expected to intensify into a Category 3 Migrant Caravan over Mexico before crashing into the southern border.

Lots of people fret about hordes of military-aged men invading countries, and it is truly an alarming sight. Me, I stress the most when I see women and children piling in. Here come hundreds of billions of dollars in expenses Democrats will force those of us who still contribute to society to pay for — universal pre-K, 13 years of schooling, medical care, food, shelter, and on and on. And of course, all the birthright citizens these women will produce will secure the benefits of the gravy train for the whole family.

La Prensa Honduras covered the vanguard invasion:

Lack of employment, insecurity, and the rising cost of living are some of the reasons that, according to the migrants themselves, led them to once again embark on the journey to the United States.

More than 400 Hondurans, including young people, mothers with their children, and people from different parts of the country, gathered at the Gran Central Metropolitana in San Pedro Sula to begin their journey north.

The travelers arrived from various municipalities hoping to find job opportunities and improve their living conditions. Some indicated that their income was insufficient to cover basic expenses, while others cited insecurity as one of the factors that motivated them to leave Honduras again.

Newsom says legislation could land state in legal trouble

Campus jobs will remain closed to illegal immigrant students in California after Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill Sunday that would have reversed the situation.

In his veto message, the Democrat governor expressed concerns that the legislation would violate federal law and land the state in trouble with the Trump administration, the Daily Bruin, UCLA’s student newspaper, reports.

“California remains committed to economic opportunity and tuition affordability for all students, including leading efforts to support undocumented students,” Newsom stated.

“But given the gravity of this bill’s consequences – including potential criminal and civil liability for state employees – the federal courts must resolve the legality of the novel legal theory behind this legislation before we proceed,” he stated.

The legislation prohibits public colleges and universities in California from “disqualifying a student from being hired for an employment position due to the student’s failure to provide proof of federal work authorization,” according to the bill summary.

Additionally, it would require institutions to “treat a specified prohibition in federal law on hiring undocumented noncitizens as inapplicable because that provision does not apply to any branch of state government.”

This language is based on a legal theory by scholars at the UCLA Center for Immigration Law and Policy. Hiroshi Motomura and Ahilan Arulanantham argue the 1986 federal law does not specifically designate government entities as “employers,” The College Fix previously reported.

 The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) has joined a lawsuit seeking to stop the DOT from accessing commercial driver’s license (CDL) records from the CDLIS database operated by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, which contains information about 17 million people.

A U.S. District Court in California has since issued an injunction against the DOT while the lawsuit advances through the court system. The DOT is expected to appeal.

The legal fight is over ongoing actions being taken by the Trump administration to get illegal immigrants and unqualified drivers off the road following numerous deadly crashes caused by truckers who never should have been on the road. At least 30 Americans were killed in crashes caused by illegal truck drivers in 2025, including a high school basketball coach and his wife, and numerous others have been killed and maimed in 2026.

The DOT, along with other agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), have been working to shut down “sham schools” that don’t provide proper or complete training to its students and who give CDLs to illegal immigrants who can’t speak or read English or identify road signs. On September 8, DHS officials launched a new tipline so everyday Americans can report CDL fraud.

“Too many American lives have been lost or permanently changed because illegal aliens who have no business being on our roads have been granted CDLs,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said.

The agencies have also engaged in law enforcement stings to take illegal drivers off the road and implement policies to strengthen English language requirements.

ICE agent shoots and wounds man in Austin, Texas, sparking demands for full investigation– www.cbsnews.com

A federal immigration agent shot and wounded a man on Sunday in Austin, Texas, authorities said.

The shooting occurred shortly before 1 p.m. local time on the city’s north side. Chief of Austin-Travis County EMS Robert Luckritz said at a Sunday news conference he believes the man was shot once in the torso and that he was in serious condition.

Austin Mayor Kirk Watson said that, while the man’s condition was serious, he was stable.

A lawyer for the man who was shot identified him as Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a 28-year-old Venezuelan national. Attorney Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch told CBS News that Garces Perez was working for DoorDash at the time of the shooting, and said he called his wife from his car while “yelling in pain.” DoorDash confirmed he was in the process of a delivery when the shooting happened and said it was investigating.

Lincoln-Goldfinch said Sunday night that Garces Perez had been released from Dell Seton Medical Center at the University of Texas “into what we believe is ICE custody.” She said Garces Perez had been initially held for approximately six hours, during which time officers declined to provide his wife with meaningful information about his status or circumstances.

“We are deeply concerned that his wife and family have not been permitted to see him and have not received a meaningful update regarding his current condition or whereabouts,” she said.

She told CBS News that when they rushed to the hospital, law enforcement “ran us off the property and told us we can’t even stand on the driveway.”
