U.S. Revokes Entry for Iranian Officials’ Families, Sanctions Six Over Protest Crackdowns
The United States has drawn a hard line against the Iranian regime’s brutality.Last week, the State Department revoked the privilege of senior Iranian officials and their family members to reside in or enter the U.S., a move that slams shut the door on those who profit from oppression while their countrymen bleed.
This is not mere symbolism—it’s a direct strike at the hypocrisy of a regime whose elites enjoy Western luxuries while ordering massacres at home.
The stakes are stark. Thousands of Iranian civilians perished in a January uprising, crushed under the heel of a regime that prioritizes terror abroad over bread at home. As a 19-year-old wrestling champion faces a death sentence for daring to protest, America has signaled it will no longer harbor the kin of his executioners.

The Trump administration has said it will issue nearly 65,000 additional H-2B guest worker visas through September, effectively doubling the maximum number that can be issued in a year.
The president has himself been a frequent and longtime user of the H-2B program for jobs like cooks, housekeepers and waiters at his properties. His companies continued to hire H-2 workers during his first presidential term, including at Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence, in Palm Beach, Fla.

Looking it up it said The Trump administration has contended that the H-1B program undermines the president’s “America First” agenda, which seeks to prioritize American workers over foreign labor. On September 19, Trump announced a new policy requiring employers to pay a one-time $100,000 fee for new H-1B petitions filed on or after September 21, effective for one year. According to a later clarification from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the proclamation applies only to new H-1B petitions filed on behalf of beneficiaries living outside of the United States or beneficiaries inside the country if the petition requests consular processing, port of entry notification, or pre-flight inspection.
Sorry, yoiu mentioned H2B visas, not H1. For fiscal year 2026, the DHS and DOL are releasing 35,000 supplemental H-2B visas in addition to the standard 66,000, aimed at employers in critical sectors facing imminent irreparable harm. These visas are for temporary, non-agricultural, seasonal work, with 46,226 specifically reserved for returning workers to fill roles in industries like hospitality and seafood.
