The Department of Homeland Security said it was directing agents to once again conduct immigration raids at farms, hotels, and restaurants. The directive undoes a short-lived policy change from last week that exempted those business sectors from enforcement roundups, despite the president's policy of mass deportations.

The administration provided deportation officials access to Medicaid personal data for millions of enrollees. The data includes enrollee immigration status. The dataset includes details on enrollees in several U.S. states, including California, Washington, and Illinois that allow non-citizens to enroll in Medicaid programs that pay for services using only state dollars.

The order directs the City of Laredo, Texas, to expand and continue to maintain a vehicular border crossing at the Laredo-Colombia Solidarity International Bridge Land Port of Entry. This includes the construction of two new 4-lane spans for commercial traffic parallel to the existing bridge. The city is also required to comply with all federal laws and regulations regarding the construction, maintenance, and operation of the border facilities, and to take measures to mitigate any adverse environmental impacts.

A federal court ruled that the Trump administration acted illegally when it "federalized" the California National Guard last week to provide security for federal property and personnel in Los Angeles where protests erupted over the Department of Homeland Security's aggressive immigration-enforcement actions. Soon thereafter a three judge panel of the Ninth Circuit stayed the lower court's ruling, pending a hearing on June 17. The National Guard remains federalized and under Trump's control.

U.S. Representative LaMonica McIver, Democrat from New Jersey, was indicted by a federal grand jury on three counts of "forcibly impeding and interfering" with federal law enforcement. McIver was charged last month following a fracas outside an immigration detention center in New Jersey. McIver and other officials had visited the private detention center to inspect it. Interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba announced the indictment on the social media platform X.

The order directs Green Corridors, LLC to construct, maintain, and operate a commercial elevated guideway border crossing near Laredo, Texas, at the international boundary between the United States and Mexico. The construction, maintenance, and operation of the border facilities must adhere to all federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including environmental ones. The permit is also subject to inspection by appropriate federal, state, and local agencies. [Editor's note: Presidential permits are required for the construction of all cross-border infrastructure projects.]

David Huerta, Service Employees International Union California leader, was arrested Friday during a protest at an ICE immigrant detention center in Downtown Los Angeles. On Monday he was charged with conspiracy to impede an officer, a federal felony. The crime has a maximum sentence of six years in prison. He was released on $50,000 bond.

The Trump administration has activated 700 active-duty Marines to support National Guardsmen tasked with protecting federal property and federal immigration enforcement agents. Protests have erupted at a Downtown Los Angeles immigrant detention center and elsewhere around the city in response to DHS efforts to detain undocumented immigrants. Marines are expected to begin arriving in the city Tuesday. California's governor has slammed the deployments as unconstitutional and intended to heighten tensions around DHS tactics, and the Los Angeles Chief of Police has also been critical.

The president has authorized an additional 2,000 National Guard members to Los Angeles, bringing the total to 4,000. Meanwhile, 700 Marines are expected to begin arriving Tuesday. California governor Gavin Newsom said of the deployments "this isn’t about public safety. It’s about stroking a dangerous President’s ego." The governor and California Attorney General Rob Bonta have sued Trump over the deployments.

The order directs the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Homeland Security to enhance security for the execution of federal immigration laws and protection of federal property. It calls for the temporary deployment of at least 2,000 National Guard personnel for a duration of 60 days or at the discretion of the Secretary of Defense. It also allows for the deployment of additional regular Armed Forces personnel as deemed necessary by the Secretary of Defense. [Editor's note: Lawfare provides a close reading of the directive, specifically what authority the National Guard will have (it may provide protection of federal agents and property, but cannot perform law enforcement) and the law and constitutional interpretation the order leans on.]

The order directs federal agencies, specifically the Secretary of State in coordination with the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence, to identify countries with deficient vetting and screening information. This may result in a full or partial suspension on the admission of nationals from those countries, in accordance with section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The order also imposes certain restrictions and limitations on the entry into the United States by foreign nationals identified in sections 2 and 3 of the proclamation. [Editor's note: The order restricts the entry of people from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. It partially restricts the entry of people from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela.]

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the government will "aggressively" revoke visas from Chinese students in the U.S. and enhance scrutiny for future applicants. Earlier this week the administration said it was pausing interviews for new student visas worldwide as it considered a new policy of evaluating student applicant social media accounts.

The Supreme Court used the 'shadow docket' to rule that the administration has the authority to remove immigrant 'parole' status, en masse, rather than one-by-one. Parole status allows an immigrant to live, and potentially work, in the U.S. for up to two years. Orders passed down via the shadow docket don't get the full briefing and arguments treatment. Use of the shadow docket has become more frequent (and controversial).

The administration is making it harder for all foreigners to visit Harvard University, not just international students. Visa applicants whose itinerary includes a visit to Harvard will undergo additional screening, including review of their social media accounts. The enhanced measures extend to "faculty, employees, contractors, guest speakers, and tourists," according to a State Department memo reviewed by the Washington Post.

The Trump II administration has paused all international student visa applications while it considers tighter review of applicant social media activity. If the plan is approved, visa applications could be delayed, which may affect the finances of colleges that rely on tuition paid by international students.

The proclamation celebrates the 101st anniversary of the United States Border Patrol. It highlights a National Emergency declaration at the southern border, which granted the Department of Defense additional authority to support the Federal Government response to a crisis. The order also designates certain transnational organizations as foreign terrorist groups, resumes border wall construction, reinstates the Remain in Mexico policy, ends asylum for illegal border crossers, deploys soldiers to protect borders, and implements a large deportation operation. Within the first 100 days, daily border encounters reportedly dropped 95 percent, and migrant crossings reportedly declined by 99.99 percent.

The Justice Department charged New Jersey Congresswoman LaMonica McIver with assaulting federal agents during a May 9th fracas outside a New Jersey immigrant detention center. Newark mayor Ras Baraka's trespassing charge from the same clash was dropped. The charges were announced by interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba, one of president's Trump defense attorneys.

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that the Trump II administration may cancel temporary protection from deportation status for as many as 350,000 Venezuelans in the country. The Biden administration had created the status for the immigrants, and extended it near the end of Biden's term, because officials determined that conditions in Venezuela were unsafe and too risky to deport the migrants back home.

The proclamation designates May 2025 as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, in recognition of the contributions of these communities to the United States. It encourages all Americans to learn more about those of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander heritage and to observe this month with appropriate programs and activities. The Congress, by Public Law 102-450, as amended, has also designated the month of May each year as "Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month."

This week a federal judge ordered that criminal trespassing charges be dropped on dozens of migrants caught along the border in New Mexico. The Trump II administration had declared a 60 foot strip of land along the border a military zone and that anyone caight there would be charged with trespassing on military property. The judge dismissed the charges because the migrants would have to know they were entering a restricted area beforehand, which prosecutors were unable to demonstrate.

The order directs federal agencies to establish Project Homecoming, which aims to encourage undocumented immigrants to voluntarily leave the United States with financial assistance from the Federal Government. The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security are instructed to create processes, including the use of technology like the "CBP Home" application, to facilitate the rapid departure of the undocumented. The order also includes the provision of financial incentives or "exit bonuses" for each alien who voluntarily departs. It also mandates a communications campaign to inform aliens about these options and the consequences of choosing to stay without documentation.

A federal judge ordered the immediate release of a Turkish Tufts University student who had been held in a Louisiana immigration detention center. Rumeysa Ozturk was detained six weeks ago outside her Boston apartment by masked immigration agents.

Newly created "national defense areas" along New Mexico's border with Mexico is sowing confusion among immigrants, lawyers, and judges. The 60-foot wide strip of territory was declared a military defense zone by Trimp administration officials. Secretary of Defense Hegseth announced the new prosecutions in April.

The administration plans to deport some immigrants to Libya, where a civil war rages. However, leadership on both sides of the conflict in the North African nation denied meeting with the United Statres.

The order directs federal agencies to identify and take action against jurisdictions that obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration laws, often referred to as "sanctuary" jurisdictions. The Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security are instructed to publish a list of these jurisdictions, notify them of their noncompliance, and pursue legal remedies to bring them into compliance. Additionally, the order mandates the suspension or termination of federal funds to these jurisdictions, as well as the development of mechanisms to verify eligibility for federal public benefits in these areas. It also requires action against local laws favoring aliens over American citizens.

Eight more immigration judges have been fired, joining scores of other judges, aides, and staff let go previously. According to the report:

“The Executive Office for Immigration Review, or EOIR, which runs the immigration court system, fired at least two dozen more immigration judges and supervising judges in February, including five from California courts, according to the judge’s union. The administration also eliminated five leadership positions at the EOIR and removed nine Board of Immigration Appeals judges appointed under Biden. An additional 85 professional court staff — including 19 judges, interpreters, legal assistants, and IT specialists — took buyouts after receiving a ‘Fork in the Road’ email offering federal workers ‘deferred resignations.’”

Trump II administration officials, members of ICE, and DOGE agents have sought access to Medicare databases to assist in their efforst to track down immigrants marked for deportation.

During an Oval Office meeting, El Salvador's leader said it would not release a man United States immigration officials wrongly sent to the Central American nation's notorious high security prison. The United States Supreme Court ordered that the Trump Administration must "facilitate" the man's return.

The order directs Federal agencies, specifically the Department of Defense, the Department of the Interior, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Homeland Security, to take appropriate actions to secure the southern border of the United States. This includes providing for the use and jurisdiction by the Department of Defense over necessary Federal lands for military activities, such as border-barrier construction and the emplacement of detection and monitoring equipment. The Secretary of the Interior is also directed to allow the Department of Defense to use portions of the Roosevelt Reservation and may make withdrawals, reservations, and restrictions of public lands to enable the Department of Defense to address the emergency at the southern border.

The Trump II Social Security Administration added the names of 6,000 immigrants into a database it uses to track dead people, essentially eliminiating the ability for those people to work legally in the United States or otherwise participate in the economy.
