Argentina orders immigration crackdown, vows to 'make country great again'

Argentina's right-wing President Javier Milei issued a decree on Wednesday curbing immigration to the South American nation, a move coinciding with the immigration restrictions put in place by the Trump administration. In a country that has long prided itself on its openness to immigrants, Milei's abrupt measures and declaration that newcomers were bringing chaos and abuse to Argentina drew criticism from his political opponents and prompted comparisons to US President Donald Trump. Milei's government welcomed those parallels to its close American ally, with presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni saying it was time to honour our history and make Argentina great again. Wednesday's executive order tightens restrictions on citizenship, requiring immigrants to spend two uninterrupted years in Argentina or make a significant financial investment in the country to secure an Argentine passport. Immigrants seeking permanent residency must show proof of income or sufficient means and have

Judge won't block IRS from sharing tax data to identify, deport US migrants

A federal judge on Monday refused to block the Internal Revenue Service from sharing immigrants' tax data with Immigration and Customs Enforcement for the purpose of identifying and deporting people illegally in the US. In a win for the Trump administration, US District Judge Dabney Friedrich denied a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit filed by nonprofit groups. They argued that undocumented immigrants who pay taxes are entitled to the same privacy protections as U.S. citizens and immigrants who are legally in the country. Friedrich, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, had previously refused to grant a temporary order in the case. The decision comes less than a month after former acting IRS commissioner Melanie Krause resigned over the deal allowing ICE to submit names and addresses of immigrants inside the US illegally to the IRS for cross-verification against tax records. The plaintiffs are disappointed in the Court's denial of our preliminary injunction, but the case i
