BREAKING: Trump Says U.S. Will End EB-5 Visa Program Abused as a Cheap Way to Buy a Green Card.

President Donald J. Trump and his newly confirmed Commerce Department Secretary Howard Lutnick have announced the United States will soon end the EB-5 visa program. Foreign nationals have abused the program through fraud to cheaply purchase a green card, officially known as a Permanent Resident Card. The announcement, made as President Trump fielded questions from the press in the Oval Office, marks a significant shakeup in the U.S. visa system.

According to the America First leader, the EB-5 visa program will instead be replaced by what Trump describes as a “Gold Card.” Foreign nationals looking to attain U.S. residency will face a new series of requirements, with Trump floating a $5 million payment to the U.S. Treasury for the purposes of paying down the national debt, along with other guarantees on investments and creating jobs for American workers.

Commerce Secretary Lutnick explained, “So the EB-5 program was really… it was all full of nonsense, make-believe, and fraud. And it was a way to get a green card that was low price. So the President said, rather than having this sort of ridiculous EB-5 program, we’re going to end the EB-5 program, and we’re going to replace it with the Trump Gold Card.”

The abuse of U.S. visa programs has been a major issue for President Trump’s MAGA political base. Shortly before Trump’s inauguration in January, social media descended into a policy fight between the America First leader’s MAGA supporters and billionaire Elon Musk over H-1B visas. The work visa program is rife with fraud and abuse, costing American workers jobs and allowing already wealthy companies to import tens of thousands of cheap foreign workers every year.

University Faces Scrutiny Over Undisclosed Millions From China.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Harvard University faces a U.S. Department of Education probe over $1.1 billion in foreign contributions, including $100 million from China, amid allegations of incomplete disclosures.

👥 Who’s Involved: Harvard University, U.S. Department of Education, Secretary Linda McMahon, Open The Books, and foreign entities, including those linked to China and the Palestinian territories.

📍 Where & When: Investigation announced in Washington, D.C., on April 18, 2025, following Open The Books’ report released on April 17, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: Secretary Linda McMahon stated, “Harvard has not been fully transparent or complete in its disclosures, which is both unacceptable and unlawful.”

⚠️ Impact: The probe could lead to penalties for Harvard, including loss of federal funding, and raises national security concerns over foreign influence, particularly from China, in U.S. academia.

IN FULL:

Harvard University faces increasing government scrutiny over its funding sources, with allegations emerging that it made “incomplete and inaccurate disclosures” regarding over a billion dollars in foreign contributions. Since 2017, the Ivy League institution has accepted $1.1 billion from foreign entities, with over $100 million coming from China. Additionally, it is believed Harvard took $1.6 million from organizations associated with the Palestinian territories.

The revised financial data comes from an investigation by Open the Books, which released its report on foreign gifts to Harvard on Thursday. On April 18, the U.S. Department of Education announced it was launching a probe into the university’s foreign funding, accusing Harvard of not being forthcoming with accurate data.

“As a recipient of federal funding, Harvard University must be transparent about its relations with foreign sources and governments,” President Donald J. Trump’s Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, said at the start of her department’s investigation. “Unfortunately, our review indicated that Harvard has not been fully transparent or complete in its disclosures, which is both unacceptable and unlawful.”

“This records request is the Trump Administration’s first step to ensure Harvard is not being manipulated by, or doing the bidding of, foreign entities, which include actors who are hostile to the interests of the United States and American students,” Sec. McMahon added.

The report released by Open the Books found that Harvard provides very little detail regarding what projects or programs received the Chinese money, though several million dollars were earmarked for research projects headed by a Chinese-designated lead. Financial arrangements that essentially guarantee the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) can designate individuals to serve in key roles raise serious national security concerns, given the numerous examples of Chinese nationals having engaged in corporate espionage and foreign spying in the past.

Harvard is currently locked in a protracted legal battle with the Trump administration over the university’s refusal to limit pro-Hamas and antisemitic protests on its campus. The Ivy League school faces losing potentially billions of dollars in federal funding.

South Korea Accuses DeepSeek of Unauthorized Data Transfer to Chinese Firm.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: South Korea’s data protection authority found that the Chinese AI app DeepSeek transferred personal data to a cloud services platform without user consent.

👥 Who’s Involved: The Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC), DeepSeek, Volcano Engine, and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

📍 Where & When: The issue was identified in South Korea and announced on Thursday, April 24.

💬 Key Quote: “Initially, DeepSeek transferred personal data to companies located in China and the United States without obtaining users’ consent,” stated Nam Seok of the PIPC.

⚠️ Impact: DeepSeek has been suspended from download in South Korea—and a number of other localities—until its data practices are reviewed. The Chinese AI app has been the target of scrutiny over claims made regarding its technical specifications and data security. DeepSeek is only the latest Chinese-made app that has faced allegations of being a data mining tool for the CCP, with the social media app TikTok being the most prominent example.

IN FULL:

A South Korean government agency has uncovered that the Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) application DeepSeek was involved in the unauthorized transfer of personal data to a cloud service associated with ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok. The Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) detailed on Thursday that the data, which included device specifics and user inputs, was being moved to servers hosted by Beijing’s Volcano Engine platform.

The broader implications of this revelation have prompted nations such as South Korea, Italy, and Australia, along with certain U.S. states, to either restrict or ban the app. DeepSeek, which had rapidly gained attention early this year due to its alleged ability to rival Western AI tools at a reduced cost, has assured cooperation with the PIPC and a prospective review of its data protection strategies.

The PIPC initiated a comprehensive investigation in February, compelling DeepSeek to halt new app downloads pending a stringent evaluation of its data collection methods. Speaking on behalf of the PIPC, Nam Seok highlighted the issue with DeepSeek collecting data without consent or transparent privacy disclosures. “Initially, DeepSeek transferred personal data to companies located in China and the United States without obtaining users’ consent, or disclosing this in the privacy policy at the time the service was launched,” Seok said, adding: “In particular, it was confirmed that DeepSeek transferred not only device, network, and app information, but also user inputs in AI prompts to Volcano Engine.”

Responding to Seoul’s findings, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) reaffirmed its commitment to data privacy and denied any involvement in mandating illegal data practices by firms or individuals. The Foreign Ministry, represented by spokesman Guo Jiakun, emphasized China’s supposed adherence to legal data collection standards.

The entity behind Volcano Engine, ByteDance, counts among its holdings the popular social media platform TikTok. Notably, TikTok and ByteDance have been accused of dubious data security practices in the United States, and the social media app faces a potential national ban if its Chinese parent company does not divest itself.

FBI: Maduro’s Regime Aiding Infiltration of U.S. by Terrorist Group.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) indicates that Venezuelan officials may be aiding Tren de Aragua gang members’ entry into the United States, endangering national security.

👥 Who’s Involved: Venezuelan government officials, Tren de Aragua gang, FBI, Trump administration officials, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

📍 Where & When: United States, potential for Venezuelan state-sanctioned violence over the next six to 18 months. Chile, Ecuador, and Peru are also affected.

💬 Key Quote: “These findings should shock Americans but not the law enforcement community,” said a Trump administration official regarding the threat posed by these gang members.

⚠️ Impact: Heightened potential for threats, kidnappings, and violence against Americans, as well as Venezuelan expatriates critical of President Nicolás Maduro.

IN FULL:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) believes that some officials within the Venezuelan government may be facilitating the entry of members from the Tren de Aragua, a gang classified as a foreign terrorist organization, into the United States. This presents a threat to public safety and national security, especially against Venezuelan nationals located in the U.S. who are critical of President Nicolás Maduro.

The FBI assesses that, within the next six to 18 months, these gang members could be used as proxies to execute threats, abductions, and potential killings targeting Venezuelan dissidents residing in the United States. This potential influx and use of gang members coincide with Venezuela’s similar destabilization tactics in other countries in the region, including Chile, Ecuador, and Peru.

“These findings should shock Americans but not the law enforcement community,” a Trump administration source commented. “They reflect the sentiments of numerous other intelligence assessments across multiple agencies. Nicholas Maduro is a Marxist dictator who hijacked a once-prosperous Venezuela and brought in nothing but total economic collapse and gang takeover. He crumbled Caracas, now overrun with drugs and violence, and wants to do the same across the United States by sending his most violent and dangerous criminals into our communities.”

On April 18, a classified National Intelligence Council report, which supposedly found no coordination between Tren de Aragua and the Venezuelan government, was leaked, but the FBI warning suggests this is inaccurate.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard condemned the leak and warned that the leakers and their media allies had “twisted and manipulated” the report “to convey the exact opposite finding.” She vowed that officials weaponizing classified intelligence “to undermine the President’s agenda” will face “the full force of the law.”

Trump Tariff Strategy Sparks Surge in U.S. Manufacturing Investments.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Several companies announced significant investments in American manufacturing operations due to the Trump administration’s tariff policy and efforts to boost domestic production.

👥 Who’s Involved: President Donald J. Trump, American manufacturing companies, and workers across the United States.

📍 Where & When: Investments and growth were announced by the White House on April 23.

💬 Key Quote:  “Increasing our footprint in the U.S. is important.” — Regeneron CEO Leonard Schleifer

⚠️ Impact: Increased investments have led to job creation and economic growth in various regions across the country.

IN FULL:

American manufacturing has seen a surge in investment, attributed to Trump administration efforts to strengthen the sector and promote domestic economic growth. In recent days, multiple firms have announced substantial plans to enhance their manufacturing capabilities on U.S. soil, supporting job creation nationwide. This trend aligns with a concerted strategy to reduce reliance on overseas production and increase self-sufficiency.

On April 23, the White House released a statement revealing that foreign companies are investing billions of dollars in U.S.-based manufacturing. These include Swiss drug and diagnostics company Roche, which looks to invest $50 billion into manufacturing and R&D in the U.S.

Likewise, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a major player in biotechnology, has also stated it would be investing $3 billion. The company looks to produce pharmaceuticals in North Carolina. “Increasing our footprint in the U.S. is important,” said Regeneron Chief Executive Officer Leonard Schleifer.

The administration’s policies, which include tax incentives and reductions in regulatory burdens alongside tariffs against foreign producers, are cited as pivotal in these decisions.

President Donald J. Trump has made it clear through his tariff strategies that he is determined to bring back U.S. manufacturing jobs. NVIDIA, one of the largest tech companies, also recently announced it would be investing as much as $500 billion. The money will be used to create infrastructure to support the domestic manufacture of artificial intelligence (AI) supercomputers.

Military Recruitment Surges Under Hegseth’s Warrior Ethos.

U.S. military recruitment is surging under the Trump administration and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth—in spite of relentless attacks from the mainstream media and Democrats.

The details: According to data released by the Department of Defense, recruitment is up big in every branch of the military. In February 2025 alone:

  • Army: +23,586 (115 percent of goal)
  • Navy: +16,201 (105 percent of goal)
  • Air Force: +5,847 (106 percent of goal)
  • Marines: +13,329 (100 percent of goal)
  • Space Force: +299 (100.1 percent of goal)

Hegseth weighs in: Speaking to Fox News, the Defense Secretary said:

  • “These recruiting numbers don’t surprise me… one bit. They’re a reflection of a yearning from the American public, of young people to be proud of their country.”

Zoom out: Hegseth embodies the ‘warrior ethos’ and brings a breath of fresh air to the position as a former Army infantry officer with deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since taking the reins, he’s reshaped the Defense Department away from woke DEI standards and towards “lethality, meritocracy, accountability, standards, and readiness.”

  • But if you ask him, he says: “There is no better recruiter in my mind for our military than President Donald Trump.”

Back up: Recruitment officially reached crisis levels under Joe Biden:

  • 🚨 Army missed its recruitment goal in 2022 by 25 percent
  • 🚨 Navy missed its recruitment goal in 2023 by 20 percent
  • 🚨 Air Force missed its recruitment goal in 2023 by 10 percent, the first time in over 20 years.

In spite of attacks: While young Americans flock to serve under this administration, the mainstream media has been relentless in its attempt to scandalize Hegseth—most recently overhyping the report that a journalist was accidentally added to a Signal chat where a successful bombing of Houthi terrorists was discussed.

Trump touts success: “Since November 5th, it’s all happened. Enrollment in the military is at a record. We’re setting records and six months ago we couldn’t get anybody.”

DNC Issues Ultimatum to David Hogg Over Primary Challenge Advocacy.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is set to introduce new rules that require members to stay neutral in primaries, potentially impacting co-vice chair David Hogg’s role.

👥 Who’s Involved: David Hogg, DNC co-vice chair; Ken Martin, DNC Chair; James Carville, Democratic strategist.

📍 Where & When: Announcement expected from DNC on Thursday; rules implementation scheduled for August.

💬 Key Quote: David Hogg highlighted, “Currently, if we had the same number of 25- to 30-year-olds in Congress as we do proportionally to the population, we would have over 40 people under the age of 30 in Congress, and I don’t know if you’ve looked at Congress recently, we have one that is under the age of 30. That is not good for the future of the Democratic Party.”

⚠️ Impact: Potential curtailment of Hogg’s political activities within the DNC and impact on his group’s financial endeavors aimed at primary campaigns targeting incumbent Democrats.

IN FULL:

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is set to enact rules that would require members, including current co-vice chair David Hogg, to remain neutral during primary elections. DNC Chair Ken Martin is expected to announce the changes during a call with party leaders scheduled for Thursday. If approved, these rules would be implemented in August.

This policy change emerges after David Hogg, an ardent anti-gun rights activist, declared plans to allocate $20 million towards Democratic primary campaigns nationwide via his organization, Leaders We Deserve. The group’s objective is to promote younger, more diverse candidates to align with shifting demographics and push the Democratic Party in a more leftward and “progressive” direction.

Hogg’s dual role as a DNC co-vice chair and his active participation in primary challenges have drawn scrutiny from some within the Democratic Party. The National Pulse previously reported that Clinton White House strategist James Carville blasted Hogg over his plan to primary incumbent Democrats, calling the activist a “contemptible little twerp” and suggesting the DNC sue over a breach of duty.

In response, Hogg defended his actions, asserting the need for a strategy that addresses generational representation in Congress. “Currently, if we had the same number of 25- to 30-year-olds in Congress as we do proportionally to the population, we would have over 40 people under the age of 30 in Congress, and I don’t know if you’ve looked at Congress recently, we have one that is under the age of 30,” Hogg said, adding: “That is not good for the future of the Democratic Party.”

The proposed DNC rules could compel Hogg to choose between his leadership role within the party and his primary-focused initiatives. Additionally, the move risks alienation of younger Democrats who may see Hogg’s primary operation as a political positive for the party.

Publishers Ramp Up Printing of U.S. Constitution Amid Soaring Demand.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Random House plans to release hardcover editions of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Federalist Papers.

👥 Who’s Involved: Random House, publisher Andrew Ward, historian Jon Meacham, and Circana analyst Brenna Connor.

📍 Where & When: New York; books to be published in July and November.

💬 Key Quote: “One way to address the chaos of the present time… is to re-engage with the essential texts that are about creating a system that is still worth defending.” — Jon Meacham.

⚠️ Impact: The release comes amid a market surge for foundational U.S. documents, with sales currently at their highest since 2004.

IN FULL:

Random House has announced plans to publish special hardcover editions of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Federalist Papers. These editions, to be released through Random House’s Modern Library imprint, will include introductions by historian Jon Meacham. The decision to publish these texts comes amid surging interest in foundational U.S. documents.

Andrew Ward, a publisher at Random House, acknowledged the importance of revisiting these core documents of American history, expressing a desire to make them readily available to the public. The decision coincides with a spike in sales of these materials, as reported by Circana, a firm that tracks a significant portion of the print retail market.

Circana notes that sales of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Federalist Papers have reached a peak not seen since 2004. To date, about 162,000 copies have been sold this year alone, as opposed to 58,000 in the same timeframe last year, and just 33,000 in 2023.

Historian Jon Meacham remarked on the enduring relevance of these materials. “One way to address the chaos of the present time, what Saint Paul would call the ‘tribulations’ of the present time, is to re-engage with the essential texts that are about creating a system that is still worth defending,” he said. Despite being in the public domain, allowing for free online access, these texts continue to be popular in print form.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: A woman was found buried in a Maryland state forest, leading to the arrest of her boyfriend on murder charges.

👥 Who’s Involved: The deceased, Lesbia Mileth Ramirez Guerra, and her boyfriend, Keycy Robinson Alexi Barrera Rosa, along with authorities and Guerra’s family.

📍 Where & When: Cedarville State Forest, Maryland; Guerra was reported missing on April 2, 2025, and found on April 17, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “She has two young children, a mother and a father… We made the notification to them, and I think there was some relief, and it was certainly very tragic and for us the same feeling of relief that we have found her, but on the other hand, it was traumatic for investigators and heartbreaking,” said Diane Richardson, Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman.

⚠️ Impact: Rosa, identified as an illegal immigrant, is charged with murder. Guerra’s two children are staying with family.

IN FULL:

An illegal alien faces charges in the death of his girlfriend following the discovery of her body in a state forest. Lesbia Mileth Ramirez Guerra, 23, had been missing for over two weeks when authorities located her remains in Cedarville State Forest on April 17. Guerra was last seen at her residence on March 31, with boyfriend Keycy Robinson Alexi Barrera Rosa notifying police of her disappearance on April 2.

Sheriff’s officials stated that detectives uncovered Guerra’s body beneath a blanket buried five feet deep in the forest. The search effort heavily relied on digital data to zero in on the specific area. Officials from the Charles County Sheriff’s Office pressed on despite the challenging terrain, confirmed spokeswoman Diane Richardson.

Keycy Rosa, 24, Guerra’s boyfriend and the father of her children, faces charges for her murder following the discovery of the victim’s body. Rosa was previously known for possessing fraudulent identity documents, leading law enforcement to ascertain his illegal alien status through Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) cooperation.

In addition to Rosa’s charges, authorities arrested his uncle, Rolvin Eduardo Bererra Bererra, 37, as an accessory. Both men are held without bond as investigations continue.

Unredacted Warrants Show Hunter Biden’s Payments Tied to Ukraine, China.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Recently unredacted Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) search warrants disclose new details regarding the federal investigation into Hunter Biden’s business dealings with entities in Ukraine, China, and other foreign states.

👥 Who’s Involved: Hunter Biden, former President Joe Biden, Ukrainian gas company Burisma, Chinese energy company CEFC, Romanian businessman Gabriel Popoviciu, and Department of Justice (DOJ) officials.

📍 Where & When: The warrants were released in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Details span several years, including transactions from 2014 to 2018.

💬 Key Quote: “The parties agree the search warrant applications and affidavits at issue may be unsealed with limited redactions,” stated Shannon Hanson, acting U.S. attorney for Delaware.

⚠️ Impact: The revelation contributes to ongoing investigations and political debates around Hunter Biden’s international business activities and potential impacts on his father, Joe Biden.

IN FULL:

Recently unsealed IRS and FBI search warrants have unveiled fresh insights into Hunter Biden‘s international business dealings. These documents, agreed to be released with minor redactions by Hunter Biden’s legal representatives and the Justice Department, were made available following a court filing in Delaware.

The search warrants expose details of Hunter Biden’s financial relationships. They highlight payments received from Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings, Chinese energy company CEFC, and Romanian businessman Gabriel Popoviciu. These operations took place during former President Joe Biden’s tenure as Vice President under Barack Obama.

IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler were involved in the processes detailed in these warrants. Prominent figures named include Gongwen Dong of CEFC, Hunter’s associate Devon Archer, and other partners in overseas ventures.

The release clarifies the financial trail distributed through an account primarily managed by Devon Archer. They note consistent payments from Burisma to Hunter Biden. The money routes also trace funds sourced from entities linked to Popoviciu and CEFC, alleging influence trading.

Although Hunter Biden and his businesses reportedly received substantial payments from the discussed international contacts during these years, the focus of investigations often also returns to the alleged involvement or impact on U.S. foreign policy, as Joe Biden was Vice President at the time.

Hunter Biden’s laptop revealed alleged payments to “the big guy.” Many believe this to be Joe Biden. At the end of his tenure as President, Biden granted an extensive pardon to Hunter and many other members of his family.

Trump VA Directs Staff to Report Anti-Christian Bias.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has announced the creation of a task force dedicated to addressing “anti-Christian discrimination” within the agency, urging employees to report incidents through a designated tip line.

👥 Who’s Involved: The initiative involves VA Secretary Doug Collins, appointed by President Donald J. Trump, and VA employees. The broader effort reflects the administration’s stance against anti-Christian sentiment under former President Joe Biden.

📍 Where & When: The announcement was made via a memo on April 22, and it applies across the Department of Veterans Affairs’ system.

💬 Key Quote: Doug Collins encouraged employees to report “any instance of anti-Christian discrimination,” stating such reports should contain “sufficient identifiers such as names, dates, and locations.”

⚠️ Impact: The move is part of a larger effort by the current administration to address bias, paralleling similar task forces in other federal agencies such as the State Department.

IN FULL:

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has initiated a task force to combat “anti-Christian discrimination,” encouraging personnel to report suspected bias through a newly established tip line. Announced through a memo on Tuesday, VA Secretary Doug Collins, appointed by President Donald J. Trump, directed employees to report any instances of discrimination.

This scheme aligns with the administration’s overarching campaign to highlight the anti-Christian sentiment that flourished under former President Joe Biden. Earlier in February, President Trump signed an executive order noting that the previous administration exhibited a significant pattern of targeting individuals due to their Christian beliefs.

The VA’s announcement follows similar initiatives by other government bodies. The State Department, for instance, recently implemented a task force addressing “anti-Christian bias,” with employees being encouraged to report such conduct.

The oversight includes examining how cases of discrimination might manifest within the workforce, such as penalizing Christian practices or denying religious exemptions to vaccine mandates. Previously, the Biden government mandated COVID-19 vaccinations for federal employees and contractors, although the requirement was eventually rescinded following extensive legal challenges.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has been vocal about alleged anti-Christian bias within federal frameworks. Bondi recently convened with various Cabinet officials to deliberate on claims of religious discrimination.
