The Trump administration is moving forward with plans to strip certain foreign-born Americans of their U.S. citizenship, with officials reportedly aiming to initiate between 100 and 200 denaturalization cases per month in 2026.

According to a report, guidance issued in December 2025 instructed U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), an agency within the Department of Homeland Security, to “supply the Office of Immigration Litigation with 100-200 denaturalization cases per month” during the year.

The plans are now being implemented, with agency experts reportedly visiting field offices nationwide and reassigning staff to review past naturalization cases to determine whether some individuals could face denaturalization proceedings.

The FBI pored over Jeffrey Epstein’s bank records and emails. It searched his homes. It spent years interviewing his victims and examining his connections to some of the world’s most influential people.

But while investigators collected ample proof that Epstein sexually abused underage girls, they found scant evidence the well-connected financier led a sex trafficking ring serving powerful men, an Associated Press review of internal Justice Department records shows.

Videos and photos seized from Epstein’s homes in New York, Florida and the Virgin Islands didn’t depict victims being abused or implicate anyone else in his crimes, a prosecutor wrote in one 2025 memo.

President Donald Trump criticized Bad Bunny's Super Bowl LX halftime performance, calling it "absolutely terrible" and "a slap in the face" to America. Speaking on Truth Social after the broadcast from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., Trump dismissed the show's Spanish-language lyrics and choreography, claiming "nobody understands a word this guy is saying" and labelling the dancing as "disgusting, especially for young children." He added that the performance "makes no sense" and does not represent the country's standards of success or creativity.

The Puerto Rican superstar, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, headlined one of the most culturally specific halftime shows in Super Bowl history. Bad Bunny's set celebrated Latin music, reggaeton, and Caribbean rhythms, featuring theatrical nods to his Spanish-language catalog. He also delivered a unifying message by displaying the flags of nations across the Americas and holding a football that read: "Together we are America."

Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein, has declined to answer questions from US House lawmakers but indicated she would be willing to testify that US President Donald Trump and former president Bill Clinton did nothing wrong in their ties to Epstein if her prison sentence were ended.

Maxwell made the position known during a closed-door video deposition with the House Oversight Committee, where she invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination while serving a 20-year sentence at a federal prison camp in Texas for sex trafficking.

Lawmakers are intensifying scrutiny into how Epstein, a powerful financier with elite connections, was able to abuse underage girls for years and whether others may have facilitated his crimes.

President Trump on Monday warned that he could block the opening of a long-awaited bridge between the United States and Canada, escalating tensions with Ottawa amid trade disputes and broader diplomatic friction.

The Gordie Howe International Bridge, which spans the Detroit River between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, is expected to open in early 2026 after years of construction and testing. Funded by the Canadian government, the crossing is designed to ease congestion and support billions of dollars in daily trade between the two countries.
