US immigration crackdown intensifies: visa pause, record arrests, and the electric-shock glove controversy
US immigration enforcement has intensified with a State Department pause on immigrant visas, record 49,571 arrests in July, and a $16.7 million contract for electric-shock gloves. Two ICE shootings in Minnesota and Texas add to the controversy, while a judge refused to force extradition of an agent. Internationals in the Netherlands should be aware of the impact on visa applications and the broader enforcement climate.
