Yesterday, a federal judge temporarily blocked much of President Trump's latest executive order to deny citizenship to children born in the United States to noncitizen parents. While the decision was limited to children born after Feb. 19, 2025, including those born in the future, Judge Deborah L. Boardman wrote that the order would likely affect babies the Supreme Court had already defined as citizens. The ruling delivered a sharp rejection of the president's renewed efforts to restrict birthright citizenship, after the Supreme Court ruled in July that his more sweeping birthright citizenship executive order from 2025 was unconstitutional.

The ruling raised concerns that babies already defined as citizens by the Supreme Court could have their citizenship revoked under an order the president signed in August.

"The U.S. employment-based immigration backlog now exceeds 1.2 million people due to an insufficient number of green cards. This creates challenges in attracting and retaining global talent. Wait times are long for individuals from India, China and the Philippines due to per-country limits. India alone accounts for nearly one million people in the backlog. The backlog has grown over 20% since 2020 and is projected to surpass 2 million within 15 years without Congressional intervention. A past attempt to exempt highly skilled professionals from these limits was blocked. The annual cap of 140,000 employment-based green cards, set decades ago, is deemed inadequate for today's demands."

The employment-based immigration backlog in the United States now exceeds 1.2 million people, according to a new analysis of USCIS data.

The number of individuals that Immigration Judges grant asylum to each month has been falling dramatically. In June 2026, only 771 individuals were granted asylum — less than a quarter of the number of individuals awarded asylum just three years ago. At the same time, the number of asylum decisions has grown considerably — resulting in soaring asylum denial rates. In June 2026, 94 percent of all asylum cases were denied. One factor affecting asylum outcomes has been the radical transformation of the Immigration Court. The Trump administration has liberally used its firing and appointment powers to remake the bench. Executive Office for Immigration Review records indicate that a total of 279 Immigration Judges were fired or resigned during FY 2025-FY 2026. This represents approximately 38 percent of the 735 Immigration Judges who were employed at the end of FY 2024 — the last full year of the Biden administration

Pinellas County’s authority on human rights is exploring options to investigate Sheriff Bob Gualtieri following a ProPublica investigation that uncovered unconventional immigrant detention practices.

The report found that the jail was repeatedly booking immigrants, briefly releasing them into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, then rebooking them to reset a 72-hour detention time limit.
