Fox News: Border encounters drop sharply as Trump launches crackdown on illegal immigration
Illegal immigrant encounters at the U.S. southern border have dropped significantly in the early days of the Trump administration, showing a 35% decrease compared to the final days of the Biden administration. In the first three days of Trump’s term, there were 2,523 encounters, down from 3,908 in the last three days of Biden's term.
Trump's administration has reinstated strict border policies, including the end of the CBP One app for processing migrants and the resumption of border wall construction. This shift may contribute to a "Trump effect," where potential migrants are deterred by the likelihood of deportation.
Fox News: ‘Tides are shifting’: Push to codify key Trump-era policy snags dozens of cosponsors, including Dems
A bill to reinstate the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" policy has gained bipartisan support in the House, with over 100 cosponsors, including two Democrats. The legislation aims to require the Department of Homeland Security to enforce the Migrant Protection Protocols, which were previously eliminated by the Biden administration.
The bill reflects growing concerns over illegal immigration, a significant issue for voters, and follows other recent immigration measures, such as the Laken Riley Act, which mandates the detention of illegal immigrants accused of theft-related crimes.
Breitbart: Illegal Aliens Worried as Trump-Era ICE Raids Loom
Following President Trump's inauguration, fears of ICE raids have led to a significant decline in foot traffic in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood, known as the "Mexico of the Midwest." Local businesses reported a drop in sales by up to 60%, with many residents choosing to stay home due to concerns about immigration enforcement.
Alderman Mike Rodriguez noted that the atmosphere has changed drastically, with shops closing and the community feeling the impact of heightened immigration enforcement. Governor JB Pritzker indicated that Chicago could be a target for raids, further escalating anxiety among undocumented residents.
Forbes: Judge Blocks Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Restrictions In Court—For Now: ‘Blatantly Unconstitutional’
A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship, calling it “blatantly unconstitutional.” The ruling comes amid multiple lawsuits from Democratic-led states, asserting that the order would create instability for thousands of U.S.-born individuals.
The judge's decision pauses the order for 14 days while litigation continues. Legal experts largely oppose Trump's interpretation of the 14th Amendment, arguing it contradicts established precedent. The order is part of Trump's broader immigration strategy, which aims to reduce undocumented immigration.

Forbes: Trump's Diversity Orders Rattle CEOs: What Companies Should Know About New DEI Rules
President Trump has issued an executive order halting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives across federal agencies and targeting private entities with DEI programs. The order mandates that agencies cut DEI roles, ensure contractors comply with anti-discrimination laws, and identify potential investigations into private organizations.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is expected to rule against DEI initiatives under new leadership. This move follows a Supreme Court ruling that deemed affirmative action policies unconstitutional, leading to increased scrutiny and legal challenges against DEI practices in both public and private sectors.

Fox News: Homelessness nearly doubles in blue state in just 2 years: report
Homelessness in New York has more than doubled from January 2022 to January 2024, driven largely by a surge in asylum seekers, according to a report by State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli.

Currently, New Yorkers make up 20% of the nation's homeless, with children under 18 representing a third of the state's homeless population. In response, state and city officials are proposing affordable housing initiatives and implementing a five-year plan to create or preserve 100,000 affordable homes.
