Regulatory Comment
Petition for Rulemaking to Amend 8 C.F.R. § 212.5, Governing Parole of Aliens into the United States, to Comply with the Immigration and Nationality Act ([link removed])
Submitted by Elizabeth Jacobs, January 26, 2026
Summary: he Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) submitted a petition for rulemaking on January 26, 2026, asking the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to amend its regulations governing parole. The current text of the parole regulations complies with an old version of the parole statute, dating back to the early 1980s, but is inconsistent with contemporary legal requirements.

New Census Bureau Estimates Indicate Huge Decline in Illegal Immigration ([link removed])
By Steven A. Camarota
Excerpt: The big story in the Census Bureau’s newly released 2025 Population Estimates is an enormous decline in net international migration (NIM) — the difference between the total number of people entering and leaving the country. The Bureau reports significantly fewer foreign-born people arrived, and more departed than in prior years. The decline in new arrivals reflects fewer refugees admitted and a large falloff in the number of people released at the border.

The House Freedom Caucus Calls on President Trump to Use the Insurrection Act ([link removed])
By George Fishman
Excerpt: On Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) and the other members of the House Freedom Caucus’s Board of Directors sent a letter to President Trump stating, among other things, that: "All Americans have the right to protest — including their right to speech and to bear arms consistent with our laws — but there is no right to thwart federal, state, or local law enforcement and the state of order among our citizens."
Trump Sends His ‘Ace Reliever’ Tom Homan to Minneapolis ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: Homan is both paradigm and paradox, the hard-nosed cop whose eyes moisten over when he talks about the hells suffered by smuggled migrant children. And if your son or daughter was missing or your family threatened, he’d be the officer you’d want to respond to your call, and if he did, you’d get an immediate sense of relief. Most importantly, he knows that order is the goal of law enforcement, and order has been in short supply in Minnesota of late. Homan acts, not reacts, and would likely be bemused by any suggestion that his latest appointment represents a “retreat” from the president’s stated immigration goals.

DHS’s Alleged Claim to ‘Sweeping Power to Enter Homes Without a Judge’s Warrant’ Decoded ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: Are new ICE officers being taught that they can use “a necessary and reasonable amount of force” when the subject of an I-205, administrative “warrant of removal” refuses to let them in? That’s unclear. But if that is true, that legal advice isn’t as constitutionally unsound as it may seem. Whether it’s a good idea, however, is a different question.
