President Donald Trump has announced plans for an executive order mandating voter ID for all U.S. elections, with no exceptions. The plan also proposes to eliminate mail-in voting—except for the seriously ill and military personnel—continuing his push for tighter voting restrictions. Critics warn this move could face legal challenges and disenfranchise marginalized communities, including low-income voters, seniors, and minorities.
In addition to voter policy, the administration is halting visa approvals for nearly all Palestinian passport holders, expanding restrictions that had previously applied only to Gaza residents. Meanwhile, a federal judge has temporarily blocked the deportation of nearly 700 unaccompanied Guatemalan children, highlighting ongoing tensions around immigration enforcement.
These sweeping proposals and regulatory shifts are dominating the U.S. political landscape today, sparking debate over election integrity, immigration policy, and the balance between security and civil rights.
