Trump Admin Imports Migrants to Take Agricultural Jobs.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Trump administration has turned to migrant workers on temporary visas to address a farm labor shortage.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Trump administration officials, farmers, migrant workers, and agricultural labor unions.

📍WHEN & WHERE: United States, changes announced in recent months.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The farm economy is in a difficult situation, and President Trump is utilizing all the tools available to ensure farmers have what they need to be successful.” – U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke L. Rollins

🎯IMPACT: The changes have sparked debate over foreign labor, with potential wage reductions for both migrant and domestic farmworkers.

IN FULL

Facing a labor shortage in the agricultural sector, the Trump administration has turned to the H-2A visa program to allow farmers to hire cheap immigrant workers on temporary visas. The move comes after extensive lobbying from farmers who blame immigration raids and border crackdowns for exacerbating the U.S. agricultural labor shortage.

Notably, the tension lies primarily between immigration hawks who argue the farm labor shortage will improve over time as wages rise, and large-scale farmers who say they’ve had difficulty hiring American workers. Immigration hawks warn that the Trump administration’s decision to reverse course by increasing the share of foreign workers will harm native workers and suppress wages.

“The farm economy is in a difficult situation, and President Trump is utilizing all the tools available to ensure farmers have what they need to be successful,” Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins contends, while arguing that the administration is pursuing “real reforms to ease regulatory burdens and lower labor costs.”

The Department of Labor echoed these concerns in a filing announcing changes to the H-2A program. “The near total cessation of the inflow of illegal aliens combined with the lack of an available legal work force results in significant disruptions to production costs and threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices for U.S. consumers,” the department said.

Allowing the agriculture sector access to cheap foreign migrant labor is already drawing the ire of a unique coalition. The United Farm Workers of America (UFWA) is suing the Trump administration, arguing that the lower compensation proposal—which would allow for housing to be included in the compensation package and effectively lower hourly wages by between $1 and $7—will directly harm native-born American workers.

Meanwhile, Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies has concurred with the farm union, stating that the H-2A changes run counter to the Trump administration’s own stated goals of reducing reliance on foreign labor and increasing automation in the agricultural sector.

Armed Man Arrested at Elementary School in Tactical Gear Identified as Iraqi Immigrant.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: An armed man who entered Zwink Elementary School in Klein, Texas, in tactical gear has been identified as a naturalized immigrant from Iraq.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Kyle Najm Chris, born Muhi Mohanad Najm, a 39-year-old resident of Klein, Texas.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The incident occurred on Tuesday at Zwink Elementary School, with Najm taken into custody on Wednesday at 6:30 PM.

💬KEY QUOTE: “From the moment the individual left the front office, we were actively working with multiple law enforcement agencies to identify and apprehend this individual,” the school wrote in a message to parents.

🎯IMPACT: No students or staff were harmed. The suspect was identified using security footage and databases before being arrested.

IN FULL

An armed man who entered Zwink Elementary School in Klein, Texas, earlier this week in full tactical gear has been positively identified as Kyle Najm Chris, previously known as Muhi Mohanad Najm, an Iraqi immigrant naturalized as a U.S. citizen under the Joe Biden regime in 2022. He now faces a third-degree felony charge of possession of a prohibited weapon for carrying a firearm onto school property.

The 39-year-old allegedly walked into the school’s main office wearing a load-bearing vest with a holstered handgun and a taser. When school personnel questioned him about how he had gotten past security and asked for identification, he stated that the front door had been left unlatched. He refused to provide any personal details or justification for his presence, then left the building, entered a dark blue Dodge Charger, and drove away.

In a message to families, the district explained why no immediate public alert was issued: “Sending a public notification during that window could have… tipped off the suspect, and delayed the arrest.”

The suspect was identified through a combination of school surveillance video, facial recognition technology, and vehicle license plate records. He was arrested at his residence on Wednesday at approximately 6:30 PM. Investigators have confirmed he has no connection to Klein ISD, the school, or any students or staff. Records show he holds a Texas Concealed Handgun License and a private investigator license.

UN Accuses Trump of Human Rights Violations Over Immigration Policies.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A United Nations (UN) watchdog criticized the United States for alleged “grave human rights violations” tied to immigration enforcement.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD), President Donald J. Trump, and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

📍WHEN & WHERE: The decision was issued this week; incidents cited occurred in the United States, particularly Minnesota.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This United Nations assessment is just as useless as their broken escalator, and their extreme bias continues to prove why no one takes them seriously,” said White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales.

🎯IMPACT: The UN panel’s report reignites debate over the funding of partisan international bodies unaccountable to the public.

IN FULL

The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) has issued a decision accusing the United States of “grave human rights violations” linked to immigration policies and rhetoric under President Donald J. Trump. The panel, composed of 18 supposed independent experts, said it was concerned about what it described as “derogatory and dehumanizing language” directed at migrants.

The report highlighted statements by President Trump and other senior officials, warning that portraying migrants as “criminals or as a burden”—which is very often true—could fuel discrimination. According to the panel, such rhetoric from high-ranking officials “may incite racial discrimination and hate crimes.”

CERD also raised concerns about enforcement practices by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and border agents, alleging the “systematic use of racial profiling.” It further cited reports describing “inhumane conditions” inside migrant detention facilities.

The committee focused in part on enforcement activity in Minnesota, where federal immigration agents were operating. The report referenced the deaths of anti-ICE agitators Alex Pretti and Renee Good, suggesting the incidents could amount to “gross violations of international human rights law.”

The panel also pointed to a rise in migrant detentions, noting the number in custody increased from nearly 40,000 in late 2024 to about 73,000 by early 2026. It is estimated that at least 675,000 deportations have occurred since Trump returned to office in January 2025.

The White House rejected the findings. Spokeswoman Olivia Wales said: “This United Nations assessment is just as useless as their broken escalator, and their extreme bias continues to prove why no one takes them seriously.” She added that Americans are living in a “safer, stronger country than ever before” under Trump’s leadership.

The UN has faced other controversies in recent years. The organization acknowledged that at least nine staff members of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) participated in the October 7 terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas. Separately, critics have accused the UN of defending criminals linked to narco-terrorist drug trafficking.

Michigan Synagogue Attacker Was Lebanese, Reportedly Lost Family in Recent Israeli Airstrike.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The man who rammed his vehicle into the Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, causing injuries and a fire, did so because he had lost several family members in a recent Israeli airstrike on Lebanon, his neighbors say.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, a 41-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Lebanon, was identified as the attacker.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The attack occurred at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, on Thursday, March 12, 2026.

💬KEY QUOTE: The FBI classified the incident as a “targeted act of violence against the Jewish community.”

🎯IMPACT: A security guard was injured after exchanging gunfire with and killing Ghazali. A fire partially burned the temple, but no children or staff from the early childhood center were harmed.

IN FULL

Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, a 41-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Lebanon, drove his vehicle into Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, on Thursday in an apparent ramming attack. Neighbors of Ghazali alluded to a possible motivation for the attack, claiming he had lost several family members, including a niece and nephew, in a recent Israeli airstrike on Lebanon. The act of terrorism resulted in the death of Ghazali, injuries to a security guard, and a fire that partially burned the temple.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Detroit field office, which is leading the investigation, is calling the attack a “targeted act of violence against the Jewish community.” However, the bureau has yet to issue any official confirmation of Ghazali’s motive.

Ghazali—a Lebanese national—entered the United States in May of 2010 on an IR1 (Immediate Relative) immigrant visa after filing fiancé petitions in 2009. The IR1 visa allows the foreign-born spouse of a U.S. citizen, married for at least 2 years, to obtain legal permanent residency upon entering the U.S. Notably, Ghazali applied for naturalization in 2015 and was granted citizenship in February 2016.

According to neighbors in the Dearborn Heights neighborhood where Ghazali lived, his brother, a niece, and a nephew were believed to have been killed during an Israeli airstrike. At least one neighbor indicated the deaths of Ghazali’s family members may have occurred just days prior to his ramming attack on the Temple Israel synagogue. Dearborn Heights Mayor Mo Baydoun has subsequently confirmed that Ghazali “lost several members of his own family, including his niece and nephew, in an Israeli attack on their home in Lebanon.”

Trump Can Restart Deportations to Third Countries — For Now.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A federal appeals court allowed the Trump administration to continue deporting migrants to third countries while a legal challenge to the policy proceeds.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, President Donald J. Trump’s administration, and migrants challenging the policy.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The order was issued this week by the First Circuit Court of Appeals, impacting deportation practices across the U.S.

💬KEY QUOTE: “If these activist judges had their way, aliens who are so uniquely barbaric that their own countries won’t take them back, including convicted murderers, child rapists and drug traffickers, would walk free on American streets.” – Tricia McLaughlin, former Department of Homeland Security official

🎯IMPACT: The Trump administration will be able to restart deportations of migrants who cannot be sent directly to their homelands to third countries, while appeals against the policy continue.

IN FULL

A federal appeals court has allowed the Trump administration to recommence deporting illegal immigrants to third countries while legal challenges to the policy continue. On March 11, the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit issued an administrative stay pausing a lower court ruling that had blocked the removals. The stay prevents the district court’s order from taking effect while the appellate court considers whether the injunction should remain in place during the appeal.

The three-judge panel, two appointed by former President Joe Biden and one by former President George W. Bush, said that “after careful review,” a temporary pause of the district court’s ruling was warranted. A fuller decision on whether the block should remain in place during the appeal is expected soon. The move represents a legal win for the Trump administration as it seeks to expand third-country deportations of migrants who cannot be returned to their countries of origin directly.

The case began after several migrants sued the federal government, arguing that deportations to third countries without additional procedural protections violate federal law. In February, U.S. District Court Judge Brian Murphy ruled against the policy, saying it lacked sufficient safeguards and violated basic due process standards.

Trump officials have argued the measure is necessary when migrants cannot be repatriated because their home countries refuse to accept them. In such cases, deportation to a third country allows authorities to remove individuals who would otherwise remain in the United States.

“If these activist judges had their way, aliens who are so uniquely barbaric that their own countries won’t take them back, including convicted murderers, child rapists, and drug traffickers, would walk free on American streets,” former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official Tricia McLaughlin said last year.

The case is part of a broader wave of immigration-related litigation involving the administration’s deportation policies. In recent months, the administration has repeatedly asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene after lower courts blocked enforcement actions.

Other disputes include legal challenges over ending Temporary Protected Status protections affecting roughly 350,000 Venezuelans, as well as lawsuits surrounding deportations carried out under the Alien Enemies Act.

‘Mass Deportation Coalition’ Lobbies Trump to Keep Immigration Promises.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Allies of President Donald J. Trump are lobbying to refocus deportation efforts on all illegal immigrants.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The Mass Deportation Coalition, including Trump allies and conservative groups.

📍WHEN & WHERE: March 12, 2026; United States.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Overwhelmingly, Trump voters expect this from the administration.” – Chris Chmielenski, President of Immigration Accountability Project

🎯IMPACT: The coalition aims to influence GOP strategy and voter support ahead of upcoming elections.

IN FULL

A group of key MAGA allies, called the Mass Deportation Coalition, is pushing back against the Trump administration’s recent messaging decision on the deportation of all illegal immigrants.

The coalition has commissioned and presented polling showing broad public support for the first year of President Donald J. Trump’s deportation efforts.

According to the survey, conducted by McLaughlin & Associates, 66 percent of likely voters in the 2026 midterm elections support deporting anyone who has entered the country illegally. When asked if they supported deporting all illegal immigrants and not just those with violent criminal records, 58 percent said ‘yes.’

“Overwhelmingly, Trump voters expect this from the administration. They don’t just support it, they expect it,” Chris Chmielenski—a member of the coalition and president of the Immigration Accountability Project—said of the polling. He added, “This is a good way to re-energize the base as we move into the midterms, the same way that Trump was able to do so in the lead-up to the 2024 general election.”

The Mass Deportation Coalition is comprised of some heavy-hitters in both the immigration policy and MAGA space, including Mark Morgan, the former acting commissioner of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) under Trump; Erik Prince, former CEO of Blackwater, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), the Immigration Accountability Project, the Heritage Foundation, and the Claremont Institute.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) stated on Tuesday, “We got a little hiccup with some of the Hispanic and Latino voters, for certain, because some of the immigration enforcement was viewed to be overzealous. But here’s the good news: we’re in a course correction mode right now.”

There Are Now an Estimated 19 MILLION Illegal Immigrants in the U.S.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Almost 19 million illegal immigrants are now estimated to be living in the United States, according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: FAIR, former President Joe Biden, and GOP leaders.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The report was released on Wednesday, with data reflecting changes during the former Biden government.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Since our December 2020 estimate, the illegal alien population in the United States has grown by 4.1 million, or 28.2 percent, reflecting an unprecedented wave of illegal immigration during the Biden administration.” — FAIR.

🎯IMPACT: The growing illegal immigrant population is increasing pressure on GOP leaders and shaping immigration enforcement debates ahead of the 2026 mid-term elections.

IN FULL

New data released by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) reveals that the number of illegal immigrants living in the United States swelled to almost 19 million under former President Joe Biden, a number that underscores the difficult task facing the Trump administration in order to correct course. According to a report released by FAIR, since December 2020, there has been a 28.2 percent increase in the number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. This amounts to around 4.1 million new illegal immigrants.

“Since our December 2020 estimate, the illegal alien population in the United States has grown by 4.1 million, or 28.2 percent, reflecting an unprecedented wave of illegal immigration during the Biden administration,” FAIR states, adding, “As of 2025, American population growth comes almost entirely from unsustainably high levels of immigration, both legal and illegal.”

The FAIR data comes just as the White House appears to be reversing course on President Donald J. Trump‘s mass deportation pledge. The National Pulse reported on Tuesday that in a private meeting, James Blair, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, encouraged House Republicans to adjust how they discuss immigration. He suggested shifting away from talk of “mass deportations” and narrowing the administration’s efforts to deport only known criminals.

This sentiment was echoed by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who also stated on Tuesday, “We got a little hiccup with some of the Hispanic and Latino voters, for certain, because some of the immigration enforcement was viewed to be overzealous. But here’s the good news: we’re in a course correction mode right now.”

FAIR’s estimate includes individuals who entered the country illegally but were granted temporary documentation under policies from the Biden government. The group also criticized the Census Bureau‘s revised methodology for counting the foreign-born population, arguing that it has led to significant undercounting of illegal immigrants in official data. FAIR noted that the 2023 American Community Survey and Current Population Survey rely on outdated pre-revision estimates, which fail to capture the true scale of the illegal immigrant population.

Haitian Man Admits to $6.7 Million SNAP Fraud Scheme.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A Haitian man pleaded guilty to orchestrating a $6.7 million benefit fraud scheme through his Boston retail store.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Antonio Bonheur, 74, and a second defendant, Saul Alsime.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The scheme ran from February 2021 to December 2025 in Mattapan, Boston.

🎯IMPACT: Bonheur faces up to 20 years imprisonment, potential deportation, and financial penalties. A second defendant’s case is ongoing.

IN FULL

A Haitian man arrested last December in Boston and charged with orchestrating a $6.7 million fraud scheme involving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, also known as food stamps, has pleaded guilty to wire fraud and unauthorized use of benefits. Antonio Bonheur, a 74-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Haiti, ran the scheme through his small retail store, Jesula Variety Store, in the Mattapan area of Boston, Massachusetts.

The National Pulse previously reported that Bonheur and Saul Alisme, a 21-year-old lawful permanent resident, conspired to use their small bodegas in the Mattapan neighborhood as fronts where SNAP benefits could be exchanged for discounted cash payments. Despite observably low inventory and minimal business transactions, one of the bodegas reportedly redeemed upwards of $500,000 in SNAP benefits in a single month. The figure, prosecutors noted, is one that would be expected for a major retail grocery chain and not a small independent convenience store.

Charging documents highlighted a dramatic escalation in the scale of the fraud. Monthly redemptions surged from $6,467 in October 2023 to $157,937 by March 2024, peaking at $540,870 in August 2024. Throughout 2025, monthly totals consistently exceeded $200,000, with October alone reaching $358,472.

Bonheur faces a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment for the wire fraud charge, along with potential penalties including three years of supervised release, a $250,000 fine, and mandatory restitution. The plea agreement also acknowledges that Bonheur may face denaturalization and deportation. As a result of the guilty plea, Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Leah Foley has agreed to recommend a sentence at the lower end of the federal guidelines.

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for March 30 in Boston. Meanwhile, Saul Alsime’s case has been postponed until May.

White House Abandons ‘Mass Deportations’ Campaign Pledge, Demands GOP Congress Does Same.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair advised House Republicans to shift focus from “mass deportations” to targeting violent criminals.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: James Blair, House Republicans, and President Donald J. Trump.

📍WHEN & WHERE: March 10, 2026, at the House Republicans’ annual retreat in Doral, Florida.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I voted for no new wars & mass deportations. Why are we stopping the mass deportations and starting a new war?” – Caroline Sunshine, Deputy Communications Director of the Trump 2024 campaign

🎯IMPACT: The potential sea-change in White House and GOP strategy on immigration could alienate much of the MAGA movement.

IN FULL

In a private meeting, James Blair, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, encouraged House Republicans to adjust how they discuss immigration. He suggested shifting away from talk of “mass deportations” and narrowing the administration’s efforts to deport only confirmed dangerous criminals.

This guidance arises from worries that Democrats are effectively painting Trump’s immigration approach as excessively sweeping, despite President Donald J. Trump campaigning on an ambiguous promise to deport all illegal aliens. Blair reportedly shared these thoughts in a policy discussion at the yearly House Republican retreat held in Doral, Florida.

Blair appeared to implicitly confirm these reports in a social media post on Tuesday, emphasizing that “Republicans want to keep deporting the violent/criminal illegals” and “Republicans will get the violent criminals out”—with references to removing illegals who have not yet been convicted of a violent crime conspicuously absent.

The change follows the abandonment of a major immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota, following revelations of large-scale Somali fraud in the state. This operation was wound down in the face of aggressive pro-illegal immigrant rhetoric and agitation from state Democrats and leftist activists. The administration appeared to get “the yips” after two anti-ICE activists were killed by federal immigration enforcement, one after hitting an officer with her car and the other, who had a known violent history, after starting a confrontation with officers while in possession of a firearm.

The shift is drawing sharp criticism from many in the President’s MAGA base, some of whom were already unhappy with the administration’s embrace of neoconservative foreign policy by launching the ongoing war in Iran. “I voted for no new wars & mass deportations. Why are we stopping the mass deportations and starting a new war?” asked Caroline Sunshine, who acted as deputy communications director for the Trump 2024 campaign.

Paxton Rival John Cornyn Launches ‘Faith Advisory Council’ Helmed by Soros-Linked Pro-Amnesty Pastors.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) has rolled out a Faith Advisory Council in an effort to boost his campaign among evangelical Christian voters. However, several members of the group are well-known boosters of refugee resettlement and mass amnesty policies.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), Dr. Jack Graham, Max Lucado, Dr. Gus Reyes, the Evangelical Immigration Table (EIT), the National Immigration Forum (NIF), Ali Noorani, George Soros, and Soros’s Open Society Foundations.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The Cornyn campaign announced the advisory council on Tuesday, March 10, 2026.

💬KEY QUOTE: “As our state and nation are in turbulent times, we need leaders who serve with principle, wisdom, and integrity,” the Cornyn campaign said in a statement announcing the group.

🎯IMPACT: The Evangelical Immigration Table has received millions in funding from Soros’s Open Society Foundations via the National Immigration Forum to advance open borders and pro-mass immigration policies among evangelical leaders.

IN FULL

Anti-Trump U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), facing a runoff election in May against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) to determine the Republican primary winner, has rolled out a Faith Advisory Council in an effort to boost his campaign among evangelical Christian voters. However, several members of the group are well-known boosters of refugee resettlement and mass amnesty policies, having ties to the George Soros-backed Evangelical Immigration Table (EIT).

Dr. Jack Graham, pastor Max Lucado, and Dr. Gus Reyes—all members of the Cornyn campaign’s Faith Advisory Council—are affiliated with EIT. Both Graham and Lucado are also signatories to the group’s Evangelical Statement of Principles for Immigration Reform, which calls for the adoption of family unification (chain migration) policies and the establishment of a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.

“As our state and nation are in turbulent times, we need leaders who serve with principle, wisdom, and integrity,” the Cornyn campaign said in a statement announcing the group, adding, “A key element to principled leadership is who a leader consults when confronting complex problems.”

Notably, EIT is a project of the National Immigration Forum (NIF), a Soros-funded open borders advocacy group helmed by progressive foundation guru Ali Noorani from 2008 until 2022. The EIT, with NIF acting as a pass-through, received millions in funding from Soros’s Open Society Foundations to advance open borders and pro-mass immigration policies among evangelical leaders. In 2021, Noorani praised Cornyn’s sponsorship of amnesty legislation, calling it “a positive step that bodes well for the chances of immigration reforms.”

Senator Cornyn’s relationship with a progressive front group like EIT and its pro-open borders advocacy should come as no surprise. The National Pulse reported last July that a video had surfaced of the Texas lawmaker praising the far-left League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) political group, which also advocates for open borders and mass immigration. LULAC sued Texas in 2017 over legislation signed by Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) that ended sanctuary cities in the state.

While LULAC presents itself as a Hispanic and Latin-American civil rights organization, the group has consistently pushed a far-left political agenda, including educating illegal immigrants on legal maneuvers to frustrate federal immigration enforcement actions. Additionally, LULAC has joined campaigns in defense of abortion, far-left DEI programs, and affirmative action.
