Tom Homan stood before a Department of Homeland Security briefing in Washington as new data revealed three million people have been removed from the country. The agency is now deploying hundreds of iris scanners to identify and process the detained. According to an NPR report, the Department of Homeland Security is gathering biometric data from those it arrests to accelerate its mass removal efforts. This technology allows officers to identify people without traditional documentation by scanning the unique patterns of their eyes.

The logistics of this purge are becoming a high-speed business. Nearly 2.2 million people have opted to self-deport through a federal app that provides a cash stipend and a free flight home. While the state defaults on its own payroll, it has found billions for these scanning devices. Border czar Tom Homan told the Washington Times that these efforts are "just getting started." He promised to enforce immigration law at "unprecedented levels" over the next four years.

In Texas, the political ground is shifting toward total exclusion. State Senator Mayes Middleton won the Republican primary runoff for Attorney General after vowing to abolish the H-1B visa program. Middleton, an oil executive, successfully portrayed his opponent as soft on the "America First" agenda. The H-1B program allows companies to hire skilled foreign workers in medicine and engineering. Middleton's victory signals a move to liquidate the professional immigrant class entirely.

Simultaneously, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services issued a memo stating that "adjustment of status is a matter of discretion and administrative grace." The new guidance requires many H-1B holders to return to their home countries to apply for green cards. Zach Kahler, a spokesman for the agency, told Newsweek that those in the U.S. temporarily must return home except in "extraordinary circumstances." This paper's reading: these moves describe a state transitioning from a manager of labor to a liquidator of rights. The link between biometric scanning and the removal of professional visas is not in any official memo, but the pattern suggests a permanent demographic securitization.
