For the first time in 50 years, the U.S. experienced negative net migration in 2025 because of the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal border crossings and heightened deportation efforts, an enormous victory for the White House as it faces renewed backlash against its heavy-handed enforcement tactics.

A new report from the Brookings Institution shows the United States experienced negative net migration in 2025 for the first time in at least 50 years. The report, released Tuesday, estimated between 10,000 and 295,000 more people left the country than entered it last year.

The U.S. experienced negative net migration in 2025 for the first time in at least half a century as a result of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, according to a report released Tuesday by the Brookings Institution.

No one thinks about this timeline anymore, but it took more than two months after George Floyd died in Minneapolis for a foreign media organization — The Daily Mail — to publish the body camera footage of his arrest and subsequent overdose. Minnesota Democrats had refused to release the video, without explaining why. But it was obvious, in retrospect, why they didn't release it: The leaked body camera footage was fatal to the official narrative concerning Floyd's death. It demonstrated that Floyd, because he was in the process of overdosing on a lethal level of fentanyl, was struggling to breathe long before he was on the ground. But by the time the footage was released to the public, in August, it was far too late. Too many people had already been convinced that Floyd had somehow been murdered by a police officer who didn't cause any physical injury whatsoever to Floyd's neck or upper body, who was following established procedure, and who knew he was being recorded by an increasingly …

Though it took nearly two centuries, citizenship in the United States has been a settled question. President Donald Trump's second administration is actively unsettling it. On Inauguration Day last year, Trump issued an executive order to end birthright citizenship, directly challenging established guarantees. The Supreme Court, with its growing appetite for revisiting precedent, said it will consider the issue and decide this summer whether presidents have the final say on who can be American. But this is not just another episode of constitutional brinkmanship. These developments reveal a deeper shift: Citizenship is increasingly treated as conditional rather than absolute, a credential more than an obligation. In practice, its legal meaning and the rights it confers have been eclipsed by partisan judgments about who belongs.

Over its entire four years, the Biden regime imported millions of illegal aliens and gave them generous government benefits with the unstated but obvious purpose of building a bought-and-paid-for political super majority that would guarantee a permanent Democrat-controlled electoral dominance. It was intended to be the capstone of Barack Obama's pledge to fundamentally transform America. But now President Trump has called a halt to this transformation and is in the process of deconstructing this illegally imported voter base through ICE raids, arrests, and deportations.

Natanson was at her Virginia home at the time of the search and a warrant stated "law enforcement was investigating Aurelio Perez-Lugones, a system administrator in Maryland who has a top secret security clearance and has been accused of accessing and taking home classified intelligence reports that were found in his lunchbox and his basement," the Post reported, citing an FBI affidavit...

Americans who remember how an incident in Minneapolis six years ago plunged the whole country into a summer of rioting — then years of elevated criminal violence — should think carefully about where the protests over the death of Renee Good are leading. Like the killing of George Floyd, Good's tragedy is being exploited for political purposes, with the radical activists who then called for defunding the police now demanding an end to Immigration and Customs Enforcement — not only the agency, ICE, but the enforcement of the nation's democratically enacted immigration laws. It's the protesters' veto, an assertion by activists of a right to cancel laws they don't like.

What has been long and clear is the reach of American power and the firmness of its grip upon the globe.
