Feb 2026 warning Executive Order

Protecting the National Security and Welfare of the United States and its Citizens from Criminal Actors and Other Public Safety Threats

The order's focus on 'criminal actors' will lead to more rigorous checks of Venezuelan EB-2 applicants against US-held records. The absence of a reciprocal sharing agreement means DHS will rely heavily on internal DOJ data, potentially leading to delays for applicants with common names or unresolved records.
