Escalation: Trump threatens near-halt of legal immigration

Donald Trump posted on social media on November 28, 2025, suggesting he may implement policies to nearly halt all legal immigration to the United States.

In his post, Trump did not provide specific details about the proposed policies or a timeline for their implementation.

The announcement has raised concerns among immigration advocates and could lead to renewed legal challenges similar to those faced during his previous administration.

Trump's previous immigration policies were often met with significant opposition in the courts, leading to a series of judicial challenges that shaped U.S. immigration law.

As of now, no formal proposals have been submitted to Congress, and it remains unclear how this announcement will translate into actual policy changes.
