There are reports that the US might cancel a large number of student visas, and nearly 40,000 Chinese people who are staying in the US illegally could be deported.

They were immediately transferred to CECOT, the Terrorism Confinement Center, for a period of one year (renewable). The United States will pay a very low fee for them, but a high one for us. Over time, these actions, combined with the production already being generated by more than 40,000 inmates engaged in various workshops and labor under the Zero Idleness program, will help make our prison system self-sustainable. As of today, it costs $200 million per year. On this occasion, the U.S. has...

The New York Post reports that Cameron Hamilton, the agency's current acting administrator, sent a letter to Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) advising her of the results of an “exhaustive investigation”...
