Ana Yáñez Correa crossed the U.S. border with her mother in May—this time, in the opposite direction from which they came 40 years ago. They're not alone. For the first time in 50 years, the U.S. may experience a net immigration loss, meaning fewer immigrants are coming into the U.S. and more are leaving.
A federal judge in Washington, D.C. ruled Wednesday that the Trump administration cannot deny entry to people crossing the southern border to apply for asylum.

Shhhhh! Don't tell anyone .....
Four years after Gov. Greg Abbott announced Texas would be the first state to build its own border wall, Texas lawmakers have quietly stopped funding the project, leaving only scattered segments covering a small fraction of the border.
Just 8% of the 805 miles the state identified for construction is complete, which has cost taxpayers more than $3 billion to date.
The Texas Tribune reported last year that the wall is full of gaps that migrants and smugglers can easily walk around. Previous funding is enough to complete 83 miles with 65 miles now complete. Work will continue on segments currently under construction but no new projects will begin. https://www.texastribune.org/2025/06/17/texas-border-wall-funding-ends-abbott-trump/ #immigration #borderwall #Texas #TexasBorder #DHS

In May, U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton, a Trump appointee, agreed with Texas and issued a final injunction after previously granting the state a temporary injunction. The 60-day window for the federal government to appeal that order passed on Monday, according to Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office, which said the federal government has to resume spending the money for its intended use.
