The Trump administration has announced a major overhaul of US legal immigration rules by ending the long-standing policy that allowed international students, exchange visitors and foreign journalists to remain in the country for the duration of their approved programs. Under the new regulations, international students and exchange visitors will receive visas valid for a maximum of four years, while foreign journalists will be limited to 240 days and Chinese journalists to just 90 days. Those wishing to stay longer must apply for extensions or leave the United States and seek new admission. The Department of Homeland Security says the changes are intended to strengthen oversight and prevent long-term visa misuse, while critics argue the policy could discourage global talent, affect American universities and complicate international media operations. The rule is expected to take effect 60 days after publication in the Federal Register, pending congressional review.

The US government has ordered a shutdown of the department of homeland security after congress failed to extend its funding before the midnight deadline. It’s the third partial lapse this session, and it could have real impacts at airports, disaster response agencies, and other critical operations.


DHS Faces Partial Shutdown After Deadline

Amid the rising tensions over the controversial immigration raids, California Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from a press conference held by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in Los Angeles on Thursday (Jun 12).&nbsp;Senator Padilla was dragged from the room during the press briefing in a federal building as he tried to question Noem over recent events in the second-largest city of the US.&nbsp;“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary,” he said.However, two men grappled with him in front of reporters and dragged him out of the room. The senator was then pushed by FBI agents, who handcuffed him.&nbsp;The footage of the incident has been circulating widely on social media, with Democrats condemning the incident.&nbsp;Padilla is one of the two Democratic senators representing California in the upper chamber of Congress.&nbsp;

Secret Service thought he was an attacker and officers acted appropriately.

Department Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on &nbsp;Thursday (June 12) vowed a continued federal presence in Los Angeles and Southern California as immigration enforcement continues — and she warned that protesters who stir up violence will be arrested and prosecuted.&nbsp;“We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor (Gov. Gavin Newsom) and that this mayor (Mayor Karen Bass) placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into this city,” Noem said, referring to the state and city’s so-called “sanctuary” policies, which prohibit the use of state and local resources and personnel for federal immigration enforcement. &nbsp;Noem said that the IRS is there at the press conference to "assist us in tracking how these violent protestors are financed". She implied "NGOs out there, unions, other people" might be financing the demonstrations and turning them violent.&nbsp;She is repeating Trump's allegations in the past few days describing LA protestors as "paid insurrectionists." His press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, doubled down on that accusation on Wednesday, saying the protestors look "well-funded" and stated federal authorities were investigating "who is funding" the protests.&nbsp;Nobody in the Trump administration has provided evidence for these claims. She added that there are millions of individuals in Los Angeles "illegally," and that there are tens of thousands of targets, ICE has been pursuing.&nbsp;Noem described protests that were transpiring in Los Angeles as “un-American.” “Masked thugs are assaulting police officers. They’re setting vehicles on fire. They’re waving foreign flags on American soil while burning American flags and they damaged public property and destroyed private businesses,” Noem said. &nbsp;Noem said that sanctions will be imposed uniformly on individuals who violate the law in LA. "We do have a constitution. Our police officers have been attacked. They've been stoned and bricked. They've had their vehicles torched. There've been Molotov cocktails. We've witnessed individuals toss bottles and hammers at them. We've also witnessed them being attacked and spit upon verbally or punched or assaulted. Those behaviors, she explains, are "just not acceptable"." she said.&nbsp;“If you attack one of our law enforcement officers, we are going to come after you and we are going to arrest you, prosecute you and jail you,” she added.&nbsp;Noem also claimed that she left voicemails on California Governor Gavin Newsom, "hoping to have a conversation". "Has he called them back? No," she said.&nbsp;Noem also claimed the White House contacted LA mayor Karen Bass and spoke with them. Noem repeated her claims that “some organised crime non-profit funder” is “sending a political message” through the protests.&nbsp;Again, nobody in the Trump administration has provided evidence for these claims.

In a startling revelation, US President Donald Trump has tasked a 22-year-old ex-gardener, to lead the Centre for Prevention Programs and Partnerships at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).<h2>Who is Thomas Fugate?</h2>Thomas Fugate has just graduated a year ago from the University of Texas at San Antonia and will now tackle US extremism, ProPublica reported.Earlier, he was working as a neighbourhood gardener five years ago and in a grocery store in August 2023.According to Fugate's LinkedIn, he was working as a self-employed 'Landscape Business Owner' in 2020.Prior to his work as a gardener, Fugate while studying for a degree in politics and law, worked at an H-E-B supermarket in Austin, Texas as a "Cross Functional Team Member".The Centre for which Fugate has been tasked, is mainly concerned with terrorism prevention and supports nationwide efforts to combat targeted attacks like hate-fueled violence.“CP3 strengthens our country’s ability to prevent targeted violence and terrorism nationwide through funding, education, training, evidence-based resources, increased public awareness, and strategic partnerships across every level of government, the private sector, and in local communities,” center’s mission statement on its website read.Fugate was appointed as a "special assistant" in an immigration office at the DHS in February this year.Moreover, before being tasked at the DHS, Fugate served as an "advance team member" in Trump's 2024 campaign. He also interned at several political organisations including The Heritage Foundation, widely known as the think tank behind Project 2025, and the Texas House of Representatives.Fugate’s appointment “sounds like putting the intern in charge," a counterterrorism researcher, who worked with CP3 officials for years, told ProPublica.“Maybe he’s a wunderkind.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who has been dubbed &lsquo;ICE Barbie&rsquo; for her approach to her Cabinet role, has landed herself in controversy for pushing for a reality show where immigrants compete against each other &ldquo;for the honour of fast-tracking their way to US citizenship.&rdquo;
While the idea doesn&rsquo;t sound real, it has been outlined in a 35-page program pitch and is being coordinated with the DHS secretary, Daily Mail reported. Noem is reportedly also offering US Citizenship and Immigration Services officials to tally votes in the contest, which is being designed for TV.

Trump misusing Biden-era software? DHS scour social media histories of foreign students to revoke visas

The Donald Trump administration is revoking the legal status of migrants who arrived in the US under a Biden administration procedure using a smartphone app, formerly known as CBP One, and has instructed them to leave immediately or face arrest and deportation. More than 900,000 migrants had secured appointments through CBP One and entered the US at official entry points along the southern border while being given notices to appear in the immigration court and start the asylum process, besides a two-year grant of immigration parole that allowed them to work lawfully in the US. The policy was designedin Biden regime to dissuade migrants from crossing the border unlawfully. Now, they are being informed that their paroles stand revoked and they are subject to prosecution if they remain in the US. The Trump administration is sending notices to these immigrants informing them that their parole status is being terminated.
