Synthesized from 12 sources

The Trump administration announced a major expansion of its denaturalization campaign targeting foreign-born American citizens accused of fraudulently obtaining U.S. citizenship. The initiative represents a significant escalation of immigration enforcement efforts.

Separately, more than 12,000 asylum seekers have abandoned their cases or voluntarily departed the United States as Immigration and Customs Enforcement moved to expedite cases by sending asylum seekers to third countries, according to a CBS News analysis. The policy shift has resulted in a substantial number of withdrawn asylum claims.

The administration is also pursuing changes to the H-1B visa program that would make it more expensive for U.S. employers to hire foreign workers under the program. These proposed modifications would affect the temporary worker visa system used by technology companies and other industries.

Meanwhile, some large U.S. companies, including Amazon, are reportedly declining to claim refunds of wrongfully collected tariff revenue. Industry observers suggest companies may be hesitant to pursue the refunds due to concerns about potential negative consequences from the administration.

These immigration and trade policy developments come as the president prepares for trade negotiations with China next week. A recent legal setback on tariff policy could potentially affect the administration's negotiating position in the upcoming talks.
