The Trump admin is moving to make its $100,000 entry fee on H-1B permanent, refusing to back down after a court ruled the fee is 'illegal'.

This is the latest in a series of moves to constrain legal immigration programs that cannot be directly ended by the Executive Branch.

Recently the admin made final another fee that would hit H-1B extensions and L-1 transfers, and proposed ending the generous H-1B grace period.

Bloomberg says this $100,000 fee would apply to H-1B holders inside the U.S. too — those subject to the statutory cap — a massive escalation and expense for foreign workers, especially from India.

Trump's ICE arrested more than 1,300 aliens in the Virginia and Maryland area alone, within 2 weeks, marking one of the largest single-effort arrest totals in DHS history.

SCOTUS has cleared the way for Trump to enforce its election integrity effort with USPS and the DOJ, restricting mail-in voting and Democrat vote fraud ahead of the midterm elections.

The Trump Admin is reportedly preparing to revoke 'up to 200,000 foreigners' visas', which would be the largest revocation in U.S. history.

From 2001 to 2015, the U.S. revoked only 122,000 visas within 14 years. The Trump admin has revoked more than 175,000 visas within 18 months. Reaching 200,000 or adding an additional 200,000, either way, is a huge escalation.

In the 14 years after 9/11, from 2001 to 2015, the U.S. only revoked 122,000 visas. Since taking office, the Trump admin has revoked more than 175,000 visas — in just 18 months. Targeting 200,000 more foreigners on top of that would be decades worth of work in one term, one of many ways Trump is doing things that have never been done before.

In July, ICE made the most arrests in a single month while DHS carried out the highest level of removal flights seen so far.

July was the fourth month in a row of record-high removal flights and the second consecutive month of agency highs for ICE arrests and removals, outpacing previous decades of deportations. August is expected to perform just as well, continuing the ramp up in mass deportations.

Incredible.

New data shows that ICE, with quieter tactics and less trouble, is arresting record numbers of illegal aliens — “driven almost entirely by a focus on people with 'no' criminal history.” Even with Mullin's stated priority on the 'worst of the worst', the DHS is targeting all illegal aliens at a level never seen before.

The Trump administration has issued a pause on all visa appointments for all applicants in all countries, for now.

The worldwide moratorium will be in place while the State Department trains officials on how to identify and filter out foreigners who may pose a public charge risk to the country. This comes after a federal judge blocked the 75-country visa processing freeze which blanket-banned high-risk nationals.

Professional immigration advocates are horrified that the Trump admin is actually sweeping up all illegal aliens.

For the first time, the U.S. immigration system is being weaponized against immigration itself.

The Trump admin is restricting all legal migration categories while stripping legal status en masse, and has halted multiple entry programs that were abused while activating enforcement powers that have never been used. This graphic shows a sample of that unprecedented action.

Another pro-White win delivered by the Trump admin: U.S. schools are being directed to stop the practice of treating non-White students with more avoidant discipline policies, referred to as racial balancing, which was designed to spare black and brown students from the consequences of their actions.

Trump's State Department has just designated the far left tech group, A/I, Autistici/Inventati, as a global terrorist.

"Autistici/Inventati (A/I Collective) is an Italy-based extremist group that builds and operates the digital infrastructure for violent Antifa cells and other far-left militants across the world. A/I’s cadre of radical hackers and tech developers provide a full spectrum of services – including encrypted chats and email, web hosting, secure video conferencing and streaming, anonymity shields, and a suite of other technological tools – to Marxist, anarchist, and other left-wing extremist groups in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere". Immediate sanctions are to be imposed.

This move devastates a financial and functional leg of the left inside and outside of the United States. U.S. intelligence and Treasury have authority to step in and seize assets under this directive.

ANTIFA relies on A/I collective for its digital integrity. The network is now at risk of serious legal consequences.

The Autistici/Inventati (A/I Collective) provides support to trans groups, islamic terrorists, anti-White activists and more.

So far this year the DOJ has secured first-ever terrorism convictions against ANTIFA, the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud and the National Fraud Enforcement have revealed and pulled hundreds of billions in funds, and the State Department with Treasury by its side is now isolating a transnational far-left fixer behind pro-Palestine, anti-White and anti-ICE groups.

The Trump admin is destroying the left, functionally and financially. All of this has been built up over the past year, with the actions to defund NGOs, shrink USAID, the move to leave 66 world organizations and dismantle the International Criminal Court (ICC).

To secure it all, Trump's Election Integrity effort, his pullback of Civil Rights regime rules, and the firings of federal workers will help keep the left out of power.

Yesterday, former commander Gregory Bovino went on the show of Tucker 'the Cuck' Carlson and lied egregiously about Trump. Bovino claimed the 'admin' wants him dead and does not intend to deport anyone; he says they're only removing illegals from jails, not the streets.

Bad news for Bovino's lie: both ICE removal flights and ICE arrests have surged far beyond ALL previous records, even Trump's own 2025 record, since his retirement and Mullin's confirmation. In fact, the largest surge has been in aliens with "no criminal record". Lesson there.

If you become a liar to retain popularity, it doesn't make you a patriot. It makes you a pussy. A used up one at that.
