A truck carrying what looked like plastic pellets crossed into Laredo, Texas — but CBP officers weren't convinced. Inside, they found over 1,100 pounds of methamphetamine worth more than $10 million. The June 15, 2026 bust is one of the largest drug seizures at this busy commercial crossing.

For years, millions of low-cost packages from overseas entered the US without paying any import taxes. That loophole is now closed. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued new rules that end duty-free treatment for shipments valued at $800 or less — and the change affects anyone who shops online from international sellers.

Thousands of fake FIFA World Cup 2026™ jerseys and other merchandise never made it to fans — CBP officers in Cincinnati stopped them at the border. In just five days, agents seized nearly 2,600 counterfeit items worth over a quarter million dollars. If you're shopping for World Cup gear online, what you don't know could cost you.

A 39-year-old Mexican man thought he could escape justice by fleeing from Ireland to Austria. He was wrong. ICE agents working across three countries tracked him down — and now he faces up to 50 years in a U.S. federal prison.

You packed your bags, booked your trip, and your dog is ready to cross the border with you. But CBP is now strictly enforcing health rules for every dog entering the US from Mexico — and missing one document could stop you at the border. Here is exactly what you need to know before you travel.

A 63-year-old man from Mexico died in ICE custody in Laredo, Texas, just three days after he was arrested by immigration agents. Felix Alcorta-Rodriguez was found unresponsive at a detention center on the evening of June 19, 2026. His death is now under investigation, and the cause has not yet been officially confirmed.

President Trump has picked a new leader for ICE — the agency at the center of his immigration crackdown. Lance Schroyer, a former Oklahoma State Trooper and Marine with nearly 30 years in law enforcement, is now nominated to run the agency that arrests and deports people across the country. If confirmed, he would be the first Senate-confirmed ICE director in over a decade — and that matters for millions of immigrants living in the US.

On Thursday, the US Supreme Court handed the Trump administration a major win — and dealt a devastating blow to hundreds of thousands of Haitians living legally in the United States. The 6-3 ruling pauses protections under Temporary Protected Status, leaving around 350,000 Haitians immediately vulnerable to ICE arrest and deportation. In Springfield, Ohio, a community that survived bomb threats and false accusations is now facing something far worse: the loss of the legal right to stay.

A Nicaraguan man trained in defensive tactics ran from federal agents, fought them, and threw an HSI officer into a door — all to avoid an ICE arrest. On June 17, 2026, a federal judge sentenced him to over four years in prison. The case is a stark warning about what happens when someone physically resists deportation under the Laken Riley Act.

One person is dead, and 32 migrants were found locked in a sweltering trailer with no air conditioning and no bathroom. A 39-year-old man just admitted in federal court that he helped run the operation. This case shows exactly how deadly human smuggling networks can be — and what ICE says it is doing to stop them.

A Romanian family — two parents and two children under three years old — drowned in the St. Lawrence River in the middle of the night. They were trying to cross from Canada into the United States, guided by a paid smuggler. Now, that smuggler has admitted his role in court.

A College Park, Maryland man thought he could manage a multimillion-dollar fraud empire from the shadows. Federal agents followed the money — and now Yahya Sowe is heading to prison for more than nine years. His case also carries a warning for any immigrant with a federal criminal conviction.

Two men from Venezuela walked up to a bank ATM in Lincoln, Nebraska — and walked away with cash that wasn't theirs. They were part of a criminal network tied to one of the most dangerous gangs in the Western Hemisphere. Now, both are heading to federal prison for six and a half years.

Thousands of migrant children sit in US government shelters, waiting for a sponsor to take them home. Now the federal government wants to add new ID and income requirements before any adult can do that. A federal court already blocked a similar policy once — and the public has until August 25, 2026 to weigh in.

On June 25, 2026, Iran attacked a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz with a drone. The next day, the US military struck Iranian targets in response. Now both countries are trading warnings — and the world's most important shipping lane is at the center of a dangerous standoff.

A man with legal status in the US for 25 years walked into an ICE office in Florida for a routine check-in — and left in handcuffs, bound for a detention camp in the middle of the Everglades. That camp, known as 'Alligator Alcatraz,' has now closed. But the stories coming out of it are raising urgent questions about who is safe from detention — and who is not.

Fifty-two people have died in ICE immigration detention in the first 500 days of the Trump administration — the highest death rate in over a decade. Now the United Nations and the US government's own watchdog are demanding answers. If you or someone you love is detained by ICE, what happens inside those facilities matters more than ever.

In one day, the Supreme Court issued two rulings that could reshape immigration in the US for years. One makes it legal to physically block asylum seekers from even asking for protection at the border. The other could strip Temporary Protected Status — known as TPS — from more than 500,000 immigrants living in the US, some for decades. If you or someone you know has TPS, the clock is now ticking.

Thousands of New Yorkers opened their mailboxes on June 1, 2026, to find a notice saying their food benefits might be cut off. New federal work rules for SNAP — the program that helps nearly three million New York residents buy food — took effect on March 1, 2026. If you got that notice, here is exactly what it means and what you can do right now.

Florida's 'Alligator Alcatraz' detention center shut its doors on <strong>June 25, 2026</strong> — just one year after opening — after deporting 21,000 people and costing over $1.2 billion. At the same time, the Supreme Court handed down two major rulings that could affect asylum seekers and people with Temporary Protected Status (TPS). And a federal judge just ruled that ICE cannot make arrests inside immigration courts. This week's immigration news is moving fast, and it affects real people right now.
