Lawyers warn Trump's 'gold card' visa is legally dubious and risky

Immigration attorneys say the proposed “gold card” visa touted by Trump for wealthy foreigners lacks congressional authorization, faces ongoing litigation, and comes with high costs and no guaranteed approval, prompting many to steer clients toward established paths like EB-5 or EB-1/EB-2; only a small number of applicants have advanced beyond initial filings, and several lawyers have refused to take such cases due to legal uncertainty and risk.

Second Circuit blocks Trump-era policy mandating detention of most immigrants

A three-judge Second Circuit panel blocked the Trump administration’s policy of mandatorily detaining most immigrants without bond hearings, ruling the interpretation of the Immigration and Nationality Act misreads the statute and conflicts with its context and practice; the decision contributes to a circuit split that could reach the Supreme Court.

SCOTUS weighs birthright citizenship in Trump challenge

The Supreme Court will hear Trump v. Barbara to decide whether President Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship for children born to parents in the U.S. temporarily or unlawfully present violates the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment and related immigration law; lower courts have blocked the order, and a decision expected by late June or early July could uphold, strike down, or narrow the policy, with roots in Wong Kim Ark and a broader debate over who is 'subject to the jurisdiction' of the United States.

Fifth Circuit Endorses Broad Detention for Immigration Applicants

A divided Fifth Circuit upheld the Trump administration's plan to detain all applicants for admission in deportation proceedings without bond, reversing numerous federal rulings to the contrary; the majority reasoned that the statute treats ongoing applicants for admission as subject to detention, while a dissent criticized the interpretation as文本 and noted broad disagreement among courts. The decision follows a 2025 ICE memo and amplifies the ongoing legal fight over mandatory detention in immigration proceedings.
