As of August 16, 2026, USDA confirmed 47 New World screwworm cases in the US — 46 in Texas and one in New Mexico. CBP is now playing a direct role in the federal response, including clearing foreign nationals like pilots and mechanics who travel to the US to support eradication efforts. If you are a foreign national involved in this work, US immigration rules still apply to you.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at Laredo's Juarez-Lincoln Bridge seized over 280 pounds of methamphetamine on August 25, 2026 — narcotics with a street value of more than $2.5 million. The drugs were hidden inside a 2011 Honda CR-V, discovered only after a canine unit flagged the vehicle during a routine primary inspection. For anyone crossing the US-Mexico border, this case is a sharp reminder of how thorough secondary inspections can be — and what the consequences look like when contraband is found in a vehicle you are traveling in.

You are crossing the Del Rio International Bridge in a passenger vehicle — a routine trip, or so it seems. On September 3, 2026, a CBP officer pulled over a 2005 Chrysler Town and Country for secondary inspection and found over $557,000 worth of hard narcotics hidden inside. The driver, a 28-year-old U.S. citizen, was arrested — but the ripple effects of seizures like this reach far beyond one vehicle.

A man nearly drowned in the Rio Grande near Laredo on August 29 — submerging repeatedly before Border Patrol agents pulled him from the water. He survived. The five others caught with him did not drown, but all six now face removal proceedings. The smugglers who sent them to that riverbank faced nothing.

Three migrants were found locked inside a freight rail car near Knippa, Texas, with no way to free themselves. A Border Patrol dog detected them on September 7, 2026 — hidden in the beds of pickup trucks loaded onto an autorack car. It was the second rescue of this kind at the same rail siding in two weeks.

You see an ICE badge and your first instinct may be fear — especially if you are undocumented or in removal proceedings. But on August 7, 2026, three ICE officers from Denver stopped on a New Mexico highway not to make arrests, but to save lives. The story is a reminder that ICE officers operate in many contexts — and knowing your rights in any encounter with them still matters.

You have a criminal conviction on your record — even an old one — and you wonder if ICE could come for you next. In late July and early August 2026, ICE removed several people with convictions ranging from murder to arson, including individuals who had been deported before and returned. These cases show that prior removal orders stay active and that reentry after deportation leads to federal charges on top of removal.

You have a green card and have lived in the United States for years — then a federal court you have never heard of orders your deportation using classified evidence. In September 2026, that happened for the first time in US history. The Justice Department used the Alien Terrorist Removal Court, a 30-year-old court that had never been used before, to deport an Afghan green card holder from Fort Worth, Texas.

You filed your U visa petition years ago, you made it onto the waiting list, and you still cannot visit your family abroad — because USCIS won't give you advance parole to leave and come back. More than 150 petitioners took that fight to federal court. In September 2026, the Ninth Circuit largely ruled against them.
