expired visa

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement reported 51,000 arrests in July—the highest number recorded by the Trump administration—using new tactics such as airport detentions and National Forest checkpoints. However, policy analysts warn that focusing on high arrest numbers does not guarantee increased deportations, noting that many arrested are non-criminals who merely possess an expired visa. Furthermore, a pending rule is expected to impose stricter time limits on visas for students and researchers, potentially costing the nation's economy $145 billion per year by 2035.
