Cato:

The State Department has not published the number of immigrant visa issuances since September 2025. Since then, President Trump has banned all immigrant visas for nationals of 40 countries, including the Palestinian Territories, effective January 1, 2026. As I’ve previously described, this affected one in five immigrant visa applicants. The State Department also suspended the Diversity Visa Lottery, effective December 23, 2025.

Meanwhile, in a three-sentence press release, the State Department suspended immigrant visa issuances for 75 countries (for a total of 92 banned countries) on January 21, 2026.

As I’ve detailed before, these bans affected half of all legal immigrants from abroad, including half of all spouses and minor children of US citizens, based on 2024 immigrant visa processing data. In my original post on this subject, my estimates of this decline—based on the banned countries—understated the effect these policies would have because I assumed that more processing would shift to other countries. It didn’t because the purpose was to cut overall levels of legal immigration and because the State Department did not prepare for this new policy.

Now we’re gettin’ somewhere…

This is a massive change in how the US approaches legal immigration. And can we get an “amen” for the suspension of the Diversity Visa Lottery? That’s another huge step toward rethinking a failed system that has been chugging along for decades.

But one of the most interesting parts of this crackdown involves an immigration program that’s been pissing off American workers for years.

Of course, we’re talking about the H-1B visa program, which gives American employers the “green light” to flood-in cheap, foreign workers.

Trump has taken a chainsaw to this program, and Cato says the decline in visa issuances has been staggering.

Cato:

Based on these facts, I had estimated in April that the fee would reduce H-1B visa issuances by about a quarter last year because H-1B renewals were exempt from the fee. In fact, H-1B visas—along with H-4 visas for their spouses and children—were down 78 percent from the February 2024 level, implying that more than just the ban is to blame. Over the summer, a district court struck down the $100,000 fee as an unconstitutional tax, but we don’t yet know how the administration has implemented that order. Moreover, the president issued a new $100,000 fee proclamation in September 2026, and DHS has proposed a new $103,000 fee via regulation, though it is not yet in effect. It has also suspended several major companies—including Microsoft, Adobe, and Infosys—from sponsoring H-1B workers for green cards, as announced today. Given the uncertainty, many H-1B workers may be too scared to leave to renew their visas abroad.

Yowza. A 78 percent drop in those visa issuances is a yuge number, and it shows that Trump is willing to challenge the powerful corporate interests that’ve been the loudest, most obnoxious supporters of expanding “certain” legal immigration programs.

America’s immigration system is finally being forced to answer a question that should’ve been demanded a long time ago: Who is this system supposed to benefit?

And for Trump’s base, the answer is obvious…

The American people.

Serving as the United States Ambassador to Greece has been the honor of a lifetime. I will forever be grateful to President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for entrusting me with the extraordinary privilege of representing the greatest country in the history of the world.

From my first day as Ambassador, I have worked tirelessly to advance President Trump’s America First agenda, strengthen our strategic alliance with Greece, and deliver meaningful victories for the American people.

During my tenure, we have helped secure historic agreements to expand American liquefied natural gas exports to Europe, advanced the Vertical Corridor to reduce Europe’s dependence on Russian energy, strengthened our defense and security partnership with a critical NATO ally, and expanded opportunities for American businesses and investment throughout the region.

I am especially proud of the role our Embassy has played in strengthening American energy dominance, advancing economic cooperation, and ensuring that the United States remains the indispensable leader in Southeast Europe.

These accomplishments are a testament to President Trump’s bold leadership, Secretary Rubio’s commitment to American diplomacy, and the extraordinary men and women who serve our country every day.

I also want to address the recent allegations against me. These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity. I have dedicated my professional life to fighting for justice, standing up for what is right, and defending the values that make America exceptional. I will not allow false accusations to define my decades of public service.

My gratitude and respect for President Trump and Secretary Rubio remain unwavering. I am proud of what we accomplished together, and I will always be a loyal supporter of President Trump and his mission to Make America Great Again.

While my time as Ambassador may be coming to an end, my commitment to President Trump, the America First movement, and the country I love will never end.

It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve the United States of America. My deepest heartfelt appreciation to the people of Greece for their hospitality, partnership, and welcoming me with open arms. God bless President Trump, God bless our incredible diplomats and service members, and God bless the United States of America.

BREAKING: CFTC staff have reportedly been told to retract their analysis of suspicious oil trades.

They include well-timed bets on oil futures placed shortly before major Trump announcements on the Iran war.

In one case, investors placed roughly $950 million in oil bets just hours before the April 7 ceasefire announcement.

Passengers ‘woken by screaming’ on Qantas bed bug flight. KEK and Ughhh

Passengers have told of waking to screams as bed bugs crawled on their legs and up the windows of a Qantas flight.

They said they raised the alarm with air stewards on the Sydney to Perth leg of flight QF5 on Friday, before the plane continued on to Rome.

“[They were] crawling over our belongings, our clothing, our Qantas blankets, and they were even crawling along the window,” passenger Hailey Bagnall told 9News.

The return flight to Perth at the weekend ended up being cancelled so the Boeing 787 Dreamliner could undergo a deep clean.

“On the way to getting our bags, the bugs just kept coming,” Bagnall said.

“They were in my husband's shoes, crawling up our legs, crawling on our jumpers.”

Travellers complained of being bitten on the almost 17-hour non-stop service to Italy.

“I was woken by screaming, a baby saying ‘buggies’ – some children were sick,” one passenger, who didn’t want their name published, said.

Some passengers were delayed by up to two days due to the cancelled return leg. Qantas said affected passengers were given hotels and rebooked on flights.

“We sincerely apologise to customers for the cancellation of Saturday’s Rome to Perth service, which allowed our engineers and maintenance teams to carry out a deep clean of the aircraft after an issue identified on a small number of economy seats,” the airline said in a statement shared with nine.com.au.

Bed Bugs

Bedbugs are tiny creatures which can appear in hotels and even on planes. AP

Qantas said its aircraft were cleaned regularly and disinfected every 50 days as a precaution.

Bed bugs are about six millimetres long and feed on blood. They are attracted by heat and carbon dioxide, such as that provided by sleeping humans, and their bites can cause red spots, which can become itchy.

University of Western Australia Associate Professor Theo Evans said they could travel up to about 10 metres.

“They're looking for something to eat, and if they find somebody they can bite onto quickly, they won't go any further,” the biological scientist and insect expert said.

An adult bed bug can live two months without feeding.

Bed bug expert Stephen Doggett previously told 9News the insects could be found on planes.

“It’s in the frequent flier seats – it’s always a problem, often business class, and crew quarters,” the director of medical entomology at Westmead Hospital for NSW Health Pathology said.

Bed bugs can also be particularly common in airport hotels, because of the high turnover.

Infestations can be exceedingly difficult to remove if they make it into passengers’ bags and eventually into their homes.

It's not the first time bed bugs have been found on a flight. In 2017, the insects crawled on a British Airways plane from Vancouver to London, and again in 2024 on a Turkish Airways flight from Johannesburg to Istanbul.
