The Activist Pipeline That Explains Why Biden’s DHS Only Investigated 496 Visa Overstays Despite Getting 3.1M Tips https://www.dailysignal.com/2026/10/10/personnel-is-policy-inside-the-left-wing-coalition-behind-bidens-visa-overstay-enforcement-priorities/?_bhlid=f7b6114025bec1a7d24d03c4fe16f2ee87eed843 The many ties between the Biden administration and immigration activist groups likely help explain why Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested only eight people out of more than 3.1 million visa overstay leads, according to a Department of Homeland Security inspector general report. The report attributes the low number of investigations, in just 496 visa-overstay cases, in part to a September 2021 enforcement-priorities memorandum from DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Just three months before Mayorkas’ memo, a coalition known as We Are Home urged the agency to exercise broad prosecutorial discretion and choose not to pursue older immigration violations, including visa overstays. Some coalition leaders had moved into top roles in the Biden White House and administration by the time of Mayorkas’ memo.

BREAKING: Supreme Court Hands Trump Major Victory in Drive to Combat Noncitizen Voting https://www.dailysignal.com/2026/09/25/breaking-supreme-court-hands-trump-major-victory-in-drive-to-combat-noncitizen-voting/?_bhlid=dba9cdfc01615326f03c71ece82790d620866059 The Supreme Court on Friday allowed the Department of Homeland Security to continue its citizenship verification program. In a 6-3 shadow docket ruling in the case of DHS v. League of Women Voters, justices allowed the Trump administration to expand the program that allows states to use Social Security records and other information to check voters’ citizenship status. “By prohibiting interference with the disclosure of information regarding citizenship status to DHS— “notwithstanding any other provision of Federal, State, orlocal law”—Congress necessarily authorized DHS to request and receive that information,” the majority opinion says.

Will Supreme Court Ruling Make It Harder for Noncitizens to Vote? https://www.dailysignal.com/2026/08/25/will-supreme-court-ruling-make-it-harder-for-noncitizens-to-vote/ The Supreme Court’s Monday decision cleared the way for the Department of Homeland Security to establish a state-by-state list of eligible voters based on a crosscheck of citizenship data, the Social Security database, and other government information. “The DHS can determine who is eligible to vote because the federal government does not want to be complicit in fraud through sending mail-in ballots to noncitizens,” Jason Snead, executive director of the Honest Elections Project, told the Daily Signal. “So it makes sense as to why the administration would want to prioritize this.” The list would be shared with states, but states are not obligated to use the list to police voter rolls.

A federal judge just cleared the way for the Trump administration to end deportation protections for Ethiopian migrants. The Boston judge lifted a hold on the decades-old Temporary Protected Status program after DHS determined conditions in Ethiopia had improved enough to end the protections. The ruling means Ethiopian nationals covered by TPS could now lose their ability to legally live and work in the U.S. It’s also the latest win for the administration’s TPS rollback after the Supreme Court allowed similar moves involving Haiti and Syria
