Trump administration has revoked 80,000 non-immigrant visas, US official
says |
Since January 20, the Trump administration has revoked 80,000
non-immigrant visas. Key offenses include 16 000 for DUI, 12 000 for assault, and 8,000
for theft. Additionally, 6 000 student visas were cancelled for overstays or illegal
acts. Policy shifts under Secretary Marco Rubio target political activism, with hundreds
of revocations linked to foreign policy priorities, including social media vetting and
stances on the Gaza conflict, significantly tightening entry criteria. |

Takeaways from an AP report on a Europe-funded program returning African
migrants |
The EU-funded IOM program repatriated over 100,000 migrants between 2022
and 2025 with a $380 million budget. While 58% was for reintegration, many returnees
report receiving no support. Although irregular crossings fell 20% in early 2025 to
112,000, experts criticize the lack of transparency. Despite IOM claims that 60,000
people completed reintegration, auditors state the EU "could not prove value for money"
regarding the program's impact. |

ICE is sending a chill through the construction industry |
US construction faces a severe labor shortage, as 92% of firms struggle
to fill roles. ICE deported 400 000 people in 2025, while 1.6 million self-deported.
Raids at sites in Florida and Minnesota, plus checkpoints, disrupt projects where 1 in 3
workers are foreign-born. The labor gap costs the home-building industry $11 billion
annually, worsening the 1.5 million unit housing deficit as costs and delays rise. |

EU to relocate asylum seekers from Spain, Italy, Greece and Cyprus to
other member states |
The European Commission declared Spain, Italy, Greece, and Cyprus "under
migratory pressure." In 2026, the new Annual Solidarity Pool mandates the relocation of
at least 30 000 asylum seekers or financial contributions of €600 million. States
refusing relocation must pay €20 000 per person. While illegal crossings fell 35%,
Poland and Hungary refuse to contribute. Twelve states remain "at risk," balancing
solidarity obligations against national GDP and population quotas. |

Meloni considers her migrant centers in Albania will be effective under
new European pact |
Italian PM Giorgia Meloni defended the Albania migrant centers,
expecting them to be operational under the 2026 EU Migration Pact. Despite signing 16
bilateral agreements in energy and defense, the centers remain unused after judicial
blocks caused a 2 year delay. Meanwhile, Albania aims to conclude EU technical
negotiations by 2027, with Italy supporting their accession. Currently, 3 000 Italian
companies operate in Albania, its largest trading partner. |

Net migration to UK drops 69% year on year, ONS figures show |
Net migration to the UK dropped by 69% in the year ending June 2025,
falling to 204 000, its lowest level since 2021. This decline from 649 000 the previous
year is attributed to stricter visa regulations for workers and students, alongside an
increase in departures. The drop marks a significant shift following the record high of
944 000 reached in 2023. |
