The White House published a listicle of 14 'wins,' ranging from a Supreme Court order clearing a mail-in voting rule to a planned revocation of up to 200,000 visas, a record 49,571 ICE arrests in July, and a proposed $103,265 fee on H-1B visas. It also credits itself with a 22% drop in fentanyl deaths and touts business activity hitting its fastest pace since 2022, alongside a quieter admission that international student enrollment fell 17% amid tighter visa policy.
The release folds in a 14-day operation in the D.C. area netting 1,328 arrests, about 400 of them tied to criminal convictions or charges, plus a worldwide pause on immigrant visa processing for 'in-depth training' of consular officers. It closes by claiming $3 billion saved by cutting tax credits for undocumented immigrants, with no accompanying figure for what the visa fees, application pause, or enrollment decline might cost anyone else.
