Mullin Defends ICE Tactics and Rejects Reimbursement for Political Ads

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin appeared on 'Face the Nation' to address the aftermath of Hurricane Isaias, recent ICE enforcement actions, and the planned livestreaming of a firing squad execution. He confirmed that federal resources are being deployed for storm recovery but declined to release body-camera footage from a recent shooting in New York City, citing an ongoing FBI investigation. Mullin also rejected calls to reimburse taxpayers for $20 million in political ads funded by Customs and Border Protection, arguing that such spending serves as necessary public service announcements.

DHS Proposes $100K University Fees for International Student Work Authorization

The Department of Homeland Security has proposed a rule requiring universities to pay $70,000 for each international student’s initial Optional Practical Training (OPT) recommendation and $30,000 for subsequent extensions. This shifts the cost burden from students to institutions, potentially raising total costs to $100,000 per student and threatening the viability of the work program.

DHS Shifts $100K OPT Work Fee Burden to Universities

The Department of Homeland Security has proposed a rule requiring universities to pay $70,000 for each international student participating in Optional Practical Training, with an additional $30,000 for STEM extensions. This shifts the financial burden from students to institutions, aiming to curb what officials call 'cheap labor' pipelines while facing potential legal challenges and enrollment concerns.

DHS Proposes $100,000 Fee for International Graduates' Work Authorization

The Department of Homeland Security has proposed a new rule requiring international students to pay up to $100,000 to participate in the Optional Practical Training program. This fee, split into a $70,000 base charge and a $30,000 extension for STEM graduates, would be paid by universities rather than students. The move aims to restrict post-graduation work authorization for F-1 visa holders and is part of a broader effort to limit foreign worker access to the US labor market.

ICE's voter-fraud sweep probes 100+ nonprofits and 100M records

Newly released internal documents reveal that ICE's Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) division has launched a massive, multi-layered operation to identify noncitizen voters. The initiative, which ingested over 100 million records and scrutinized hundreds of voter-registration nonprofits, has yielded few prosecutions but has prompted the agency to consider using undercover agents and immigration consequences for those who voted.

Trump avoids reimbursing federal funds for pro-presidency ads despite legal challenges

President Donald Trump has declined to reimburse the federal government for approximately $12 million in taxpayer-funded television advertisements aired ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. While he announced that his super PAC, MAGA Inc., will cover the costs of future promotional spots, White House officials confirmed that no refund will be issued for the initial airings. The ads, funded through a $20 million Department of Homeland Security contract, have drawn bipartisan criticism for violating federal propaganda laws. The Democratic National Committee has filed a lawsuit seeking to halt the use of public funds for political messaging, while the administration maintains the spots are standard public service announcements.

Judge halts $84 billion in migrant fines over due process violations

A federal judge in Massachusetts blocked the Trump administration’s use of civil fines against migrants who fail to leave after deportation orders. The ruling stays an ICE rule that streamlined penalty assessments, citing violations of the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment. The administration had issued over 103,000 fines totaling $84 billion since January 2025, with individual penalties reaching up to $1.8 million. The court found the process ignored individual circumstances and threatened to push low-income migrants into insolvency.

Trump's Super PAC to Cover Future Ad Costs, but No Refund for $11M Already Spent

President Trump announced that his super PAC, MAGA Inc., will fund future television advertisements promoting his administration, ending the use of federal taxpayer money for these spots. However, a White House official confirmed that the administration will not reimburse the government for the approximately $11 million already spent on previous ads. This decision follows bipartisan criticism that the advertisements violate federal laws prohibiting the use of public funds for political propaganda. While the White House defends the ads as patriotic public service announcements, critics argue they function as partisan campaign material ahead of the November midterm elections.
