The Trump administration is trying to limit immigration to the United States and GET RID of those who don’t belong here. Good for him
An Iranian dissident points to the problems with the US media when it comes to the Iranian uprising.
And we have some sound bites that are just amazing and showing how insane the Left is.
Should Have Been Done Before
According to the Post Millennial:
The Trump administration is ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for those from Somalia living in the US. Those Somalis that have been living in the US under TPS will be required to go back to their country starting on March 17 later this year.
“Temporary means temporary,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement. “Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law’s requirement for Temporary Protected Status.”
“Further, allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interests,” Noem added, per Fox News. “We are putting Americans first.” According to the outlet, there are 2,471 Somalis living in the US with TPS, and there are also 1,383 in the country with pending TPS applications as well. The move from the Trump administration comes as ICE is carrying out surged immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota amid the fallout of a widespread fraud scandal in the state.
The issue, although it has been developing for some time, was highlighted by a viral report from independent reporter Nick Shirley, who went to Minnesota to uncover fraud at daycare centers, many of them being run by the Somali population. Roughly $9 billion in fraud schemes have plagued the state, with more reportedly left to uncover.
There are around 600 Somalis with TPS status living in Minnesota. The country of Somalia was granted TPS in 1991 when there was an ongoing civil war in the nation. President Joe Biden had extended TPS status for Somalis in 2024.

According to Perplexity:
Trump has ordered a pause on processing immigrant visas for 75 countries, not all visas, and it is framed as targeting people deemed likely to use public benefits.
What the policy does
- The State Department will suspend processing of new immigrant visas for applicants from 75 countries whose nationals are categorized as likely to require public assistance (a “public charge”) after arriving in the U.S.
- The pause is described as indefinite and is part of the Trump administration’s broader immigration and travel restrictions that have expanded since 2025.
Who is and isn’t affected
- The suspension applies to immigrant visas, i.e., people seeking to live permanently in the United States as lawful permanent residents.
- Short-term visas for tourists, students, and other temporary visitors are not covered by this specific suspension, though these categories may be affected by other travel-ban rules or background vetting.
Which countries are included
- Reporting indicates that the list of 75 countries includes places such as Afghanistan, Brazil, Egypt, Iran, Russia, and Somalia, among others.
- Major outlets have published maps and full country lists; these show coverage across multiple regions (Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and parts of Asia and Eastern Europe).
Official justification and context
- The administration and State Department say the pause is meant to protect U.S. taxpayers by limiting immigration from people judged likely to depend on welfare or other public assistance.
- It follows earlier Trump-era travel bans and visa restrictions justified on security and vetting grounds, which together now touch dozens of countries through either full bans or partial limits.
Practical implications and next steps
- Consular posts will stop issuing new immigrant visas in these countries once the policy takes effect (reports say as early as the week of January 21, 2026).
- Lawsuits and legal challenges are likely, as immigrant-rights groups and some affected families argue the “public charge” rationale is discriminatory and overly broad.
The State Department list has been published by multiple outlets and immigration law firms, and it is the same 75 countries across sources.
Full list of 75 countries
These are the countries subject to the immigrant visa suspension:
Afghanistan; Albania; Algeria; Antigua and Barbuda; Armenia; Azerbaijan; Bahamas; Bangladesh; Barbados; Belarus; Belize; Bhutan; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Brazil; Burma/Myanmar; Cambodia; Cameroon; Cape Verde; Colombia; Congo; Cuba; Dominica; Democratic Republic of the Congo; Egypt; Eritrea; Ethiopia; Fiji; Gambia; Georgia; Ghana; Grenada; Guatemala; Guinea; Haiti; Iran; Iraq; Ivory Coast (Côte d’Ivoire); Jamaica; Jordan; Kazakhstan; Kosovo; Kuwait; Kyrgyzstan; Laos; Lebanon; Liberia; Libya; North Macedonia (often listed as Macedonia); Moldova; Mongolia; Montenegro; Morocco; Nepal; Nicaragua; Nigeria; Pakistan; Republic of the Congo; Russia; Rwanda; Saint Kitts and Nevis; Saint Lucia; Saint Vincent and the Grenadines; Senegal; Sierra Leone; Somalia; South Sudan; Sudan; Syria; Tanzania; Thailand; Togo; Tunisia; Uganda; Uruguay; Uzbekistan; Yemen.
How to verify and track changes
- The State Department notice on “immigrant visa processing updates for nationalities at high risk of public charge” links to the official list and will reflect any additions or removals over time.
- Several law firms and advocacy sites mirror the official list verbatim, which is why the names and spellings match closely across NBC, CNBC, Reuters, and immigration law alerts.

Yep!
According to the Daily Wire:
Iranians are condemning the political Left for its silence as thousands are killed by Iran’s brutal Islamist regime.
She also stated in a rather lengthy post:
“They keep asking the same question. Why are lefties, why are the loudest pro-Gaza voices completely silent when it comes to Iran? Well, the answer is simple, because the truth exposes the lie. Because acknowledging Iran would shatter the ideological fantasy that they built. Let’s be clear, Islamic Republic of Iran is not a victim of Western imperialism. It is a theocratic authoritarian regime that survives by exporting violence, funding Islamists, and crushing its own people.”
“This is why lefties are silent. Because Hamas fits their narrative, but Iranian people don’t. Because Islamist violence against Israelis can be reframed as a resistance. But Islamist violence against Iranians exposes the truth. Right now, as you’re watching this, Iran, a country of more than 92 million people, is being erased in real time. Near total blackout for more than 24 hours. No internet, no call services, no connectivity whatsoever. And yet silence. No emergency protests on Western campuses, no hashtags, no solidarity statements, no megaphones, no tears. Because Iranian suffering does not fit their agenda. Because leftist movements today are not driven by human rights. They are driven by selective outrage and ideological loyalty. They will scream about censorship unless it’s done by an Islamist regime. They will condemn the state violence unless it’s wrapped in religious language. They will chant Free Palestine, but they never say Free Iran because that will require admitting something unforgivable: that political Islam is not liberation, it is domination.”
“And here’s the part that they do not want to hear. You cannot claim moral superiority while excusing a regime that kills and murders women for refusing hijab, executes protesters, cuts off the whole nation of 92 million people from the internet, and uses foreign proxies as a distraction from its internal collapse. You cannot pretend to care about Palestinians while ignoring Iranians being shot, tortured, and murdered by the Islamic Republic in Iran. That is not solidarity. That is ideological blindness. Iranian people are not silent. They are being silenced. And the silence from the Western Left? Well, that’s a choice. A choice to protect an ideology, a choice to excuse Islamism, a choice to look away when millions of people are suffering. Because their suffering, Iranian people’s suffering, complicates a slogan. History will remember this moment. It will remember who spoke for universal freedom. and who decided that some lives matter less than preserving a narrative. Long live Iran.”
Proving His Point
Here is Josh Hawley interviewing “Dr.” Nisha Verma during a hearing on the abortion pill.
Hawley asked her if men could get pregnant 12 times.

According to the Daily Wire:
A new House proposal aims to crack down on abuses of the student visa system, including by imposing tougher penalties on administrators and institutions found responsible for visa fraud.
The “Student Visa Integrity Act,” introduced by Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX), would tighten visa expiration dates and require in-person interviews for visa extensions for applicants from countries considered sponsors of terrorism or that are in programs otherwise deemed high national security risks.
Under the proposal, students from state sponsors of terrorism, nations with an overstay rate of 10% or higher, or institutions that do not use E-Verify would be limited to a maximum student visa term of two years.
“Studying in the United States is a privilege, not a right,” Gill told The Daily Wire. “Unfortunately, a system intended to spread the American dream has been abused by fraudsters and bad actors. My bill restores integrity to a system that has been exploited for decades by protecting national security, enforcing immigration law, and ensuring the student visa program serves America’s interests.”
Gill’s proposal would also require educational institutions and affiliated organizations to disclose any financial links to China. In addition, the bill would set new limits on foreign students wanting to transfer between schools.
The bill also empowers the Department of Homeland Security to reject student visa applicants from “countries of concern” if the applicant could pose a future national security risk to the United States. That includes individuals seeking to work in “the energy sector of Iran” or to “participate in coursework or training relating to or otherwise engage in flight training, aviation maintenance, or flight operations.”
