The former chief financial officer at the Southern Poverty Law Center, Heidi Beirich, has been arrested by Trump's DOJ on charges of fraud. This is in connection to the ongoing DOJ indictment against the left-wing activist group. Heidi was in charge of monitoring so-called 'hate groups' for the SPLC.

88th AG Todd Blanche has announced charges against 11 individuals for an "extensive, decade-long marriage fraud scheme involving more than 1,000 sham marriages between Chinese nationals and U.S. citizens, then the submission of fraudulent applications for green cards."

All of the individuals responsible were foreigners, naturalized citizens and a green card holder, accounting for hundreds of fraudulent green cards. This is one of the largest marriage fraud prosecutions in history.

Every person behind this marriage fraud scheme was a naturalized citizen from China, and one green card holder.

A handful of foreigners were able to orchestrate hundreds of fraudulent green card applications. The legal immigration system is really one big funnel for fraud.

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.

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.
