A cargo worker at LaGuardia Airport fainted in 98-degree heat during a 10-hour shift — and his employer never filed a report. Now, New York City's mayor has signed a first-of-its-kind executive order to protect outdoor workers from deadly heat. For the city's 1.4 million outdoor workers, many of them immigrants, this could change everything.

Federal agents with surveillance helicopters and patrol boats surrounded a NASCAR race in San Diego this weekend — and they made clear this is how they operate every day. CBP's Air and Marine Operations deployed advanced aircraft and vessels at Naval Base Coronado on June 19–21, 2026, calling it a routine extension of their border security mission. For immigrants living in or visiting the San Diego area, that framing matters.

DACA recipients are waiting longer than ever for their renewals — and many are not getting approved at all. The backlog at USCIS has grown dramatically in 2026, and approvals have nearly stopped. For hundreds of thousands of Dreamers, this means their work permits and protection from deportation may be at risk.

Millions of dollars in fake FIFA World Cup 2026 jerseys, soccer balls, and Apple products just got stopped at the Port of Houston — and the buyers were already waiting for them across the US. For immigrants, receiving or reselling counterfeit goods is not just a consumer problem. It can put your immigration status at serious risk.

A federal court took on a case that directly challenges how USCIS makes decisions on green card applications. For thousands of immigrants waiting on approvals — or dealing with unexpected denials — the outcome could change everything. Here is what you need to know.

In just 48 hours, CBP officers at two Texas border crossings found nearly $984,000 worth of cocaine hidden inside two vehicles. Both drivers were arrested and are now under federal investigation. For anyone crossing the US-Mexico border, these cases show exactly how quickly a border stop can turn into a criminal and immigration nightmare.

Thousands of immigrants are waiting months — sometimes years — for USCIS to process their green card applications, work permits, and asylum cases. Now, a Massachusetts coalition has taken the agency to court, arguing the delays are illegal. The outcome could affect immigrants across the entire country.

More than 16,000 fake Nike soccer jerseys were stopped at Miami International Airport in June 2026 — all disguised as plain T-shirts. CBP says the same shipper was behind both seizures, pointing to an organized smuggling operation. If you ordered World Cup gear online, here is what you need to know.

US border officials just blocked all copper shipments from a major Serbian mining company — effective immediately. The reason: strong evidence that workers are being forced to work against their will. This move affects importers, supply chains, and sends a clear message about how the US enforces labor rights at its borders.

CBP just announced it is hiring — and it wants recent graduates to apply. The agency has openings for both law enforcement and office support roles across the country. But if you are an immigrant, the rules about who can apply are not the same for every position.

A federal immigration appeals court just issued a ruling that could change the outcome for thousands of people fighting deportation in the US. The case — Emrit v. Board of Immigration Appeals — puts a spotlight on what immigration judges must do when someone presents evidence in their defense. If you are in removal proceedings right now, this decision may affect your next step.

Thousands of immigrants are waiting months — sometimes years — for USCIS to decide their green card and work permit applications. Now, a Massachusetts coalition has taken the agency to court, arguing the delays are illegal. The outcome could force USCIS to move faster on cases just like yours.

Adys Lastres Morera had a green card and had lived in the US since 2023. On May 20, 2026, the US government revoked it — and two days later, ICE arrested her in Miami. Her case shows that even lawful permanent residents can lose their status and face deportation, sometimes with very little warning.

Forty people were stopped at sea near Puerto Rico in the early hours of June 6 — on a small, apparently disabled boat far from shore. Most were from the Dominican Republic and Haiti. All 40 now face deportation. Their case shows how quickly a maritime interception can turn into a removal order, and why knowing your rights matters even before you reach land.

A powerful immigration lawyers' group is suing the agency that runs US immigration courts — and the outcome could change the rules for thousands of people fighting deportation right now. The case, AILA v. EOIR, challenges whether immigration court procedures are truly fair. If you have a hearing coming up, this lawsuit could affect your rights before you ever walk into a courtroom.

Every time a noncitizen crosses a US border — arriving or leaving — CBP can now take their photo and run it through a facial recognition system. This is no longer a pilot program. It is now a final federal rule. If you hold a green card, a work visa, or any other immigration status, this affects your next international trip.

Every time an immigrant files for a green card, a work permit, or asylum in the US, they hand over deeply personal information to the government. Now a Massachusetts coalition is suing USCIS, demanding answers about what happens to that data. For hundreds of thousands of applicants in 2026, the outcome could change the rules of the game.

The U.S. government wants to fingerprint your children, collect your DNA, and expand biometric screening to nearly everyone connected to an immigration application. A sweeping proposed rule from USCIS would remove age exemptions, add new biometric types, and — for the first time — allow DNA testing to be required in family visa cases. If you have a green card application, work permit, or family petition in progress, this rule could change what you need to submit.

If you have ever used Medicaid, SNAP, or housing assistance, a new proposed federal rule could affect your green card application. The Department of Homeland Security wants to give immigration officers much broader power to decide who counts as a 'public charge' — someone likely to depend on government support. For millions of immigrants in the US, the stakes could not be higher.

A conservative think tank just sued the agency that controls your green card, work permit, and asylum case. The lawsuit targets how USCIS decides who gets immigration benefits — and a court ruling could quietly reshape thousands of pending cases in 2026. Here is what you need to know right now.
