    ICE doesn’t want anyone to know about its spyware contracts.

    404 Media sued ICE to get documents related to its $2 million contract with the spyware company Paragon. In response, ICE sent back heavily redacted documents that provide little insight into the surveillance tool, which can be used to remotely hack people’s phones without their knowledge — and can even break into their encrypted messaging apps.

    ICE has publicly hinted that they need the software to combat international drug cartels. But as with all border security tools, there’s always a chance it’ll be turned inward.

    The White House is UFOposting.

    After teasing some kind of alien-related disclosure, the White House rolled out… a map of ICE arrests touting 3.1 million encounters. It’s the same great replacement talking points as always — they’re being imported, elites facilitated the “invasion,” etc. etc. — with some X-Files-esque music playing in the background. And the numbers aren’t even right. I can only imagine the glee with which some groyper vibecoded this.

    Trump is going to make green card applicants leave the US.

    The Department of Homeland Security announced the new policy in a post on X. Per the Daily Caller, people applying for permanent residency will soon be required to leave the US and apply for immigrant visas through the Department of State, rather than applying for a change of status from inside the country.

    While the administration’s announcement focused on asylum seekers, this change will likely also affect H-1B holders who apply for permanent residency.

    Trump is waging a silent war on legal immigration

    ICE raids are the most visible attack on undocumented communities, but Trump has quietly wielded bureaucracy on legal immigrants, too.

    The future of border security isn’t at the border at all

    This year’s Border Security Expo was a victory lap for Trump’s immigration policies. But with border crossings at record lows, what were vendors hawking next?
