The US government is now spending $513 million a year to track, identify, and arrest immigrants — a record high. Facial recognition apps, AI-powered drones, phone-hacking tools, and social media scrapers are all part of the arsenal. If you are an immigrant living in the US, this surveillance may already be watching you.

Carlos Marte voted for the same congressman five times in a row. Then he didn't. In New York's 2026 Democratic primaries, immigrant voters in Washington Heights helped unseat powerful incumbents — and their reasons were deeply personal: rising rent, fear of losing voting rights, and frustration that no one was fighting hard enough against deportations.

The Supreme Court just ruled that the government can take away your green card before you are even charged with a crime. At the same time, a federal appeals court expanded fast-track deportation to immigrants anywhere in the US who cannot prove two years of residence. If you have a green card or are in removal proceedings, this week's news changes the ground beneath your feet.

Two garment factories in Jordan just lost access to the entire U.S. market — overnight. U.S. Customs and Border Protection says workers there faced physical violence, stolen wages, and locked-up passports. Now every shipment from these factories is stopped at the U.S. border.

In May 2026, ICE arrested 735 people in the Houston area — and the agency says this is just a normal month. With 1,711 criminal convictions among those arrested, the operation is one of the largest single-month enforcement actions reported in Southeast Texas. If you live in the region, understanding your rights during an ICE arrest could make the difference between staying in the US and being deported.

A shipping container labeled as men's shirts arrived at the Port of Baltimore — but a two-year-old German shepherd named Letti knew something was wrong. Inside were 238 boxes stuffed with over 10,000 pounds of marijuana, bound for England. The bust is part of a sharp rise in drug smuggling through US ports that is putting all cargo and travelers under closer federal scrutiny.

A man from the Seattle area helped steal $97 million from investors around the world — including immigrants — by pretending to sell oil tank storage that did not exist. He kept taking money even after he was arrested. On June 9, 2026, a federal judge sentenced him to five years in prison.

A federal court case called MacHie v. USCIS is drawing attention from immigration lawyers across the country. It raises a question that thousands of immigrants in the US face right now: can the government move to deport you while your green card application is still pending? The answer could affect your future in the United States.

A 55-year-old Oregon man who was already on probation for child sexual abuse is now heading to federal prison for 10 years — caught by a multinational investigation that started with tips from Australia and New Zealand. For non-citizens, a conviction like this does not just mean prison. It can mean permanent deportation and the end of any immigration benefit. Here is what happened and what immigrants need to know.

You could be deported in days — without ever seeing an immigration judge. A federal appeals court just cleared the way for the Trump administration to use fast-track deportation on immigrants living anywhere in the US, not just near the border. If you cannot prove you have been in the country for two years, you are now at risk.

Janeth worked as a nursing assistant in the San Francisco Bay Area for 23 years, winning national awards and helping patients through their worst moments. Then the Trump administration ended TPS — temporary protected status — for Honduras, and she lost everything: her job, her ability to pay her mortgage, and her legal right to stay in the US. Her story is one of thousands, as immigration policy changes in 2026 are quietly pulling healthcare workers out of hospitals and nursing homes across the country.

The Trump administration sued Los Angeles to force the city to help ICE with deportation operations. A federal judge just threw that lawsuit out. For immigrants living in LA and other sanctuary cities, the ruling could matter a great deal — but the fight is not over yet.

Federal agents arrested multiple child predators in Kansas City just weeks before the World Cup brings millions of visitors to the US. The joint operation by HSI, the FBI, and local police targeted sexual predators and human trafficking networks. For immigrants living in World Cup host cities, this surge in federal enforcement activity makes knowing your rights more important than ever.

A federal court is reviewing how USCIS handles decisions that can end someone's legal status in the US. The case — Ghaleb v. USCIS — is not just about one person. Its outcome could change how immigrants across the country challenge green card denials and fight deportation.

In just one week in June 2026, ICE put hundreds of people on deportation flights out of the United States. The agency says it has removed or returned nearly 900,000 people since early 2025 — and it is not slowing down. If you or someone you know is at risk, understanding how removal proceedings work could make all the difference.

ICE arrested him. But did they do it legally? That is the question at the heart of Long v. Immigration and Customs Enforcement — a case that could change how immigrants fight deportation across the United States. If courts find that ICE violated proper arrest procedures, it could open the door for thousands of people in removal proceedings to challenge their cases.

Thousands of immigrant nurses, home care workers, and hospital cleaners packed a Manhattan square this week, demanding fair pay and safer workplaces. Their contract expires in September 2026 — and if talks fail, 86,000 workers could walk off the job in the largest hospital strike in New York history. For many of these workers, the fight is not just about wages. It is about survival.

Rumors of ICE agents showing up at polling places have spread fear through immigrant communities in New York City — even among U.S. citizens. Some eligible voters say they are afraid to go to the polls. With a primary already underway and a pivotal November election ahead, the stakes could not be higher.
