President Trump endorsed an idea to rebrand Immigration and Customs Enforcement, aka ICE, to “NICE,” NewsNation reports.

A majority of Americans — 64% — believe all babies born in the country should automatically be granted citizenship, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll carried out as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to rule on President Trump’s effort to end the ‌practice.

“The high court is poised to rule in the coming weeks on a range of polarizing issues – from immigration policy and transgender rights to rules on how to count mail-in ballots – that could help define the Republican president’s legacy and set key rules for the November 3 midterm elections.”

“A federal appeals court ruled Friday that President Donald Trump’s declaration of an ‘invasion’ at the U.S.-Mexico border was illegal, effectively clearing the way to reopen the United States to migrants seeking asylum,” the Washington Post reports.

“It was not clear when asylum processing would resume, and the Trump administration is likely to appeal the decision.”

Only one person has been approved so far for Donald Trump’s “Gold Card” Visa program granting foreigners US residency for a $1 million fee, Bloomberg reports.

“The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals slapped down a California law that would have forced immigration agents and other law enforcement officers to display ID while on duty, with a ruling Wednesday finding that the measure “attempts to directly regulate” the federal government,” the Los Angeles Times reports.

A new Politico poll finds half of Americans — including one quarter of President Trump’s 2024 voters — said Trump’s mass deportations campaign, including his widespread deployment of ICE agents, is too aggressive.

“A shadow industry of law firms and advisers is charging thousands of pounds to help migrants pretend to be gay in order to stay in the UK,” the BBC reports.

“In the first part of a major undercover investigation, we reveal how migrants whose visas are due to run out are being given fake cover stories and instructed in how to obtain fabricated evidence, including supporting letters, photographs and medical reports.”

“They then apply for asylum claiming to be gay and in fear for their lives if they return to Pakistan or Bangladesh.”

“The Trump administration is discarding its shock-and-awe publicity tactics on immigration after mass deportations were met with mass backlash,” Axios reports.

“The White House has become allergic to the edgy memes, embedded camera crews and cosplaying officials that dominated former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s tenure.”

“Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement director Todd M. Lyons submitted his resignation Thursday, capping his leadership of one of the agency’s most tumultuous eras, saying he wanted to spend more time with his family,” the Washington Post reports.

Wall Street Journal: “The House passed a bipartisan measure Thursday that would reinstate temporary legal protections for Haitian immigrants living in the U.S., with 11 members of the Republican conference breaking with the Trump administration to side with Democrats on the measure.”

“The 224-204 vote marks a rare GOP rebuke of President Trump’s agenda.”

“Some conservatives say President Trump is flirting with betraying his biggest campaign promise on mass deportations — and the voters who put him there,” Axios reports.

“The White House is backing away from mass deportation rhetoric ahead of the midterms, infuriating the once-fringe immigration hardliners who considered Trump their last shot at reversing decades of mass migration.”

“Republicans are debating how far to go on their forthcoming party-line spending bill to fund President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement for the rest of his presidency,” Semafor reports.

“Some Republican senators want to fund the entire Department of Homeland Security for three years to avoid another shutdown after this 53-day-and-counting lapse; however, a narrower bill focusing on ICE and CBP would be easier to pass.”

The New York Times has obtained video of an incident in Minneapolis during which an ICE agent shot a fleeing Venezuelan immigrant and then claimed he had been attacked.

“The video contradicts the agent’s claim that three assailants had beaten him with a shovel and broom for roughly three minutes before he opened fire. Instead, the confrontation depicted in the video lasts about 12 seconds and shows two men struggling with the agent. It shows no sustained attack with a shovel.”

NOTUS: “President Donald Trump asked Congress for funds to massively increase detention of immigrant families, proposing an expansion to up to 30,000 beds.”

New York Times: “A coalition of legal groups on Thursday filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, saying the agency had allowed federal immigration agents to routinely enter homes to carry out searches and arrests in violation of the Fourth Amendment.”
