An Appeal To Pragmatism President Trump has terminated Somali TPS, cut funds to Minnesota in many ways, and secured guilty pleas and criminal sentences for hundreds of millions in Somalian fraud
Removal orders for Somalians have skyrocketed in 2026, putting them on track for deportation by ICE.

Most Somalis in America are citizens, meaning most cannot yet be deported by normal means, but this shift shows the Trump admin is going after the ones it can arrest and remove.

An Appeal To Pragmatism Forbes fears Trump is forming a virtual prohibition of the H-1B program
Vice President JD Vance says: "The H-1B system is broken. I'd be very supportive of just eliminating it." He explains that without Congress, he cannot end it, but he and Stephen Miller and Trump will continue to choke it and restrict it.

In the 14 years after 9/11, between 2001 to 2015, the U.S. revoked just 122,000 visas.

The Trump admin has revoked more than twice that — within 20 months. More than 250,000 visas have been revoked by the Trump admin so far, in the largest visa revocation effort in U.S. history.

Beginning on October 1st, many aliens will lose access to Medicaid and CHIP thanks to Trump's Big Beautiful Bill.

Refugees, asylees, parolees and more will become ineligible for coverage and child insurance. The Republican OBBB has already begun purging aliens from SNAP and CTC.

President Trump signed an order calling for the total death of invasive mosquitos and ticks, directing several agencies such as HHS, Dept of Interior and Dept of Ag to pursue up to a 90% reduction in foreign mosquitos and 50% reduction in ticks, starting with the D.C. area.

President Trump announces that we are finally leaving Iraq, having been there for more than 20 years and dragged on by both Obama and Biden. The existing Prime Minister there is Trump-endorsed, and will help ensure safe departure.

For decades, capital punishment has been in decline. Under Trump, the death penalty appears to be back.

First term, Trump oversaw the most federal executions since 1896. This term, 2025 had the highest state execution total since 2009 and the sharpest rise since 1999 so far.

Trump has called to bring back the death penalty since the 80s, and now has advanced changes to streamline the process and improve the DOJ's ability to execute. We just need more, better Republicans in Congress to expand the application through legislation.

From CATO: legal immigration from Muslim nations has been cut 96%.

While legal immigration in general is down, Trump has practically halted Muslim migration and completely ended Muslim refugee resettlement.

‘Annual Muslim immigration may be the lowest in over 30 years.’

A massive force behind the ongoing ICE surge is the 287(g) program for officers to support ICE, which has existed since 1996, yet never became widespread until 2026 under Trump. From 1996-2016, the program was practically irrelevant, until first term Trump tried to expand it.

287(g) police now make thousands of arrests a month. Troopers and sheriffs are helping ICE apprehend any illegal aliens they see. We've gone from 0 Task Force agencies to more than 1,800 in under two years, and from 135 total agreements to nearly 2,600 total today.

The Guardian: ICE has become quicker, quieter, arresting more people than ever. “Countless arrests are happening before anyone can notice.”

ICE is now everywhere, sweeping all corners of the interior. Enforcement has grown in the suburbs and rural areas, near worksites and more. NYT, the Marshall Project, Economist, CNN, WaPo and available data all confirm the DHS has become more determined to arrest and remove millions. And it's in the interior. New paths to deport aliens have opened up in recent months, while legal status has been stripped and slowed.

NYT alarms: Immigration enforcement has surged everywhere, all at once. In red and blue states, ICE arrests have reached all-time highs. The agency is now active in all parts of the interior, going after more illegal aliens than ever, regardless of place or priority. This represents the largest interior enforcement effort in U.S. history, ongoing. After adjusting under Mullin, ICE began a Summer Surge in 2026.

Worksite arrests broke records, arrests at airports doubled. News struggled to keep up, and liberal protests made little dent.

An Appeal To Pragmatism Naturalization is plummeting to historic lows under the Trump admin. In Northern Illinois, naturalizations have already fallen by over 75%.
This is incredible. The Trump admin has curtailed citizenship grants to the lowest pace in decades.

Monthly naturalization approvals have fallen to a historic low under President Trump. Naturalization fell under USCIS director Edlow and remains low under DHS Secretary Mullin. Follow my friend @ AF_Insight for these great updates.

An Appeal To Pragmatism The situation in Minnesota reminds us that the West cannot mass import foreign cultures which have failed to ever build a successful society of their own.’
In a year since Operation Twin Shield in Minnesota's twin cities, President Trump has terminated Somali TPS, cut funds to Minnesota in many ways, and secured guilty pleas and criminal sentences for hundreds of millions in Somalian fraud.

This is one of the largest crackdowns on an ethnic scam in recent history.

“Heidie Taljaard installs crosses for her father, mother and sister, Dan, Breggie and Elzabie Brand, on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.” Heidi lost her parents during an attack in 2020, under black rule in South Africa. Trump is the first world leader to give these families recognition.
