What the data shows

  • In the 30 days to Oct 30, 2026, ImmigrationClock recorded 16 U.S. immigration changes it classifies above routine, from official sources.
  • They include 4 final rules, 2 proposed rules, 1 USCIS Policy Manual update and 1 court decision.
  • 1 of them carries an effective date that has not arrived yet.

Caveats

  • This is a count of what the feeds ImmigrationClock ingests published, not a complete record of every U.S. immigration change.
  • Severity is assigned by explicit rules per source, never by a model and never by attention.

Methodology & sources
Data signals are computed from the same committed snapshots the site renders. They are never typed in, never estimated, never written by a model. Only reported figures and exact counts of ImmigrationClock’s own archive qualify; nothing projected or modeled appears here. Direction and magnitude are stated, never causation. See all insights.
