Openness to foreign talent could be a competitive advantage for up-and-coming tech hubs around the world, particularly as the U.S.-traditionally the world's leading tech sector-begins to look more skeptically at immigration. The Trump administration is tightening visa policies, leading to delays for those trying to enter the U.S. And moves like the White House's campaign against leading universities may be discouraging international students from pursuing education in the U.S.

About 290,000 immigrants will be removed from the country between 2026 and 2029 as a result of the law, the CBO said, and about 50,000 immigrants will be detained per day in the same period. An increase in ICE personnel will lead to 5,500 more arrests in 2026 and 100,000 more in 2029 than if the policy had not been enacted. Another 30,000 are projected to leave voluntarily between 2026 and 2030.

At the preliminary elections on Sept. 9, voters will have the opportunity to influence the direction of the city's future by deciding which mayoral and City Council candidates will advance to the general election on Nov. 4. The preliminary election will narrow the field, with the top two candidates in the mayoral race moving forward and eight city council candidates (out of ten) also advancing to the next round.

Polanski told the Guardian he was alarmed at the polling success for Reform UK, a party he described as on the far right, or at least far right-adjacent in terms of the causes and issues they're willing to align with. He condemned Labour and Keir Starmer for failing to properly challenge Reform's rhetoric over proposed mass deportations, saying that mainstream parties were failing to step up to the challenge of pushing back against Farage's ideas.

Keir Starmer has sought to tighten his grip on his government with a wave of junior ministerial changes that has sidelined allies of the unions, raising questions over the future of Labour's workers' rights package. The reshuffle has been used by Downing Street to signal a tougher stance on immigration in an apparent bid to take on Reform UK, with Shabana Mahmood a self-described social conservative rising star now in charge of the Home Office,

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

The Liberals have to answer, 'Why is it that they are shutting our own youth out of jobs and replacing them with low-wage, temporary foreign workers from poor countries who are ultimately being exploited,'

California State University's fall 2025 headcount ticked up 4,000 students compared with this time last year, thanks to in-state student increases that outpaced a smaller drop in out-of-state and international enrollment, preliminary data released by the system show. That growth amounts to less than a percentage point increase at CSU, bringing the total across the 22-campus system to about 465,000 students.

Polish President Karol Nawrocki's decision to veto a bill on aid to Ukrainian refugees has created a political storm in the Central European nation, one of Kyiv's closest allies in its fight against Russia's all-out invasion. Nawrocki, who has often raised thorny historical issues between Warsaw and Kyiv, on August 26 vetoed a bill that would, beginning on October 1, deny Ukrainian refugees in the country the right to work.

President Donald Trump's support among Hispanics was always more fragile than he thought. Now his immigration and economic policies have all but obliterated the gains Republicans made with this group gains they had started to count on for the midterms and beyond. A new Pew Research Center Poll shows that Trump's disapproval rating among Hispanics has soared to 70%, with 51% signaling very strong disapproval. His job approval rating among this group has plummeted to 27%.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has described illegal immigration as a "scourge" which is affecting the country on a "historic and unprecedented" scale. Farage will outline his party's plans to tackle small boats crossings later on Tuesday, pledging to detain and deport people coming into the UK illegally. He will also propose significant legal changes and question whether Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is on the side of human rights lawyers or the British people.

In a move first reported by the Associated Press, the state department said that all of the foreigners who currently hold valid US visas are subject to continuous vetting for any indication that they could be ineligible for the document, including those already admitted into the country. Should such evidence come to light, the visa would be revoked and, if the visa holder were in the United States, they would be subject to deportation.

Zandi sees GDP growth hitting a low of 1%, down from 3% in the second quarter, with inflation peaking at 3.5%. The latest personal consumption expenditures price index showed the annual rate was at 2.6% in June, while the July consumer price index rose 2.7%. But even that outlook may be too low. Zandi previously told Fortune that if Trump continues deporting immigrants at the current rate, inflation could get closer to 4% if and when it peaks, likely early next year.

The states allege that the Department of Justice "arbitrarily relied on immigration-related factors that Congress did not authorize it to rely on in allocating federal grant monies to support victims."

"ICE is recruiting. I don't know if you know this. There's going to be almost no age limit. You can be as young as 18 or as old as you want to be."
