This was one of the more diabolical Trump admin moves on immigration; ordering ICE to stop taking biometrics for detained immigrants seeking immigration benefits from USCIS, which meant that the agency would deny their applications by default.

In December 2025, USCIS announced that DHS would stop collecting biometrics related
to USCIS immigration applications for people in its custody. ECF No. 14-2; ECF No. 14-3 at 2-
3. In its press release, USCIS said that going forward DHS "generally will not take biometrics of detained aliens unless they are in removal proceedings and have a pending application or petition filed with the Executive Office for Immigration Review." ECF No. 14-2. That means DHS would continue to collect biometrics only for certain applications for relief, including those that can be made to immigration courts (which fall within the Executive Office for Immigration Review), but not for applications for many kinds of immigration status, including the plaintiffs' applications
(which must be submitted to and determined by USCIS). See 8 C.F.R. § 245.2(a)(1) (adjustment

Trump admin's new rule adding prohibitively expensive new fees for "OPT"—temporary work authorization program for international students and new grads in the United States—is out. Would require colleges to pay $70,000 for year one. $30,000 for years two and three combined for STEM fields.

Ever turn on the radio and think every pop song sounds the same? Or guess a horror movie’s ending 20 minutes in? You can blame “hyperselection.” In an increasingly optimized world, hyperselection may be making everything from music to city planning to soccer games a little more boring.

Maybe it’s a sign that we’re not investing in preventive care so we all get really sick, then need expensive treatment, meds and home care. Also people used to age at home but now it’s a different culture and families don’t have generations supporting aging in place; not wrong, just different.
