Changes in U.S. immigration law, practical guides and what each update means for you and your family — explained by our team in English and Spanish.
A federal appeals court set aside the Transportation Department’s decision to withhold more than $73.5 million from New York over commercial driver’s licenses issued to immigrants. The ruling concerns state funding and does not, on its own, protect individual licenses.
The federal government agreed to make permanent a court order barring it from pressuring Apple and Facebook to remove an app and a group that report ICE activity. The settlement protects free speech, but it does not authorize interfering with an enforcement operation.
The Supreme Court agreed to review the case over the presidential proclamation that suspends access to asylum at the southern border. Taking the case is not deciding it: a ruling is expected in 2027, and in the meantime you should not act on rumors.
Ann Lawani, a California nursing professor, has been held by ICE since September 16. DHS says she has a final removal order; her attorney says a judge granted her withholding of removal to Nigeria. We explain how both can be true.
Albany Mayor Dorcey Applyrs signed an order barring city property from being used to stage, process, or detain people in federal immigration operations. It is a local measure: it limits what the city does, but it does not stop federal enforcement.
The Department of Homeland Security reported record ICE arrests and deportations for fiscal year 2026. These are government-announced figures without a full breakdown, and they do not change anyone’s rights on their own.
The Dignity Act and the Dream and Promise Act are back in the conversation in Congress, along with proposals for budget controls on ICE. Neither is law today, and there is no application you can file.
The Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general will review whether ICE follows its own body camera rules. An audit is not a penalty, but it is a reminder of why footage can be key evidence.
