U.S. Sees More Immigrants Leaving Than Arriving for First Time in Decades

-
For the first time in at least 50 years, more people left the United States than entered, according to new estimates from economists at the Brookings Institution.

While arrests and deportations by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have drawn public attention, the researchers say the main driver of the decline in immigration is a slowdown in new arrivals under President Donald Trump’s administration.

 Policies such as near-closure of the U.S.-Mexico border, stricter visa rules and fees, and the termination of many humanitarian programs — including for nearly all refugees — contributed significantly to the drop.
Deportations also played a role, with the Brookings economists estimating roughly 300,000 removals in 2025, notably lower than the just over 600,000 cited by the Trump administration.

Official government data on 2025 immigration levels will not be available until later this year and may lack precise information on how many people departed the country.

Looking ahead, the United States is on track to lose more immigrants than it gains in 2026, the researchers warn, a trend that could have long-term effects on population growth and the economy.

Miss World Malaysia Taanusiya Chetty has launched Project Lestari Laut (Learning by the Waves), an education initiative aimed at improving access to learning for indigenous Orang Asli children living in remote coastal communities across Malaysia. The project was introduced through a site visit to Kampung Orang Asli Sungai Dua on Pulau Ketam, a small island settlement accessible only by water. Leading the initiative, Taanusiya and her team traveled from Kuala Lumpur to Port Klang before continuing by ferry and small boats to reach the village. The community is home to 22 families and around 35 children, many of whom live in modest stilt houses built over the sea. Limited infrastructure, sanitation challenges, and environmental neglect have made daily life difficult. Access to education remains one of the biggest obstacles, as the nearest school is located far from the village and requires risky daily boat travel, often affected by tides and unpredictable weather. These chall...
