EXCLUSIVE: New Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Joseph Edlow is wasting no time shaking up the path to American citizenship.Just weeks into the job, he's calling for a major overhaul of the U.S. naturalization test blasting the current version as too soft and out of step with what Congress envisioned.In an exclusive interview withFox News Digital, Edlow said the civics and English exam, which forms the backbone of the naturalization process, fails to reflect the knowledge and assimilation he believes should be required to become an American."The test needs to reflect the letter and the spirit of what Congress intended," Edlow said. "Its important for people to understand English, our history, our government... and the way the test is written and executed right now doesnt meet that bar."DOJ DIRECTS US ATTORNEYS TO SEEK TO REVOKE CITIZENSHIP OF NATURALIZED AMERICANS OVER CRIMEUnder the current format, naturalization applicants must correctly answer six out of 10 civics questions randomly selected from a list of 100, covering topics like the Constitution, U.S. history, geography and civic responsibilities. They must also read one sentence aloud and write one simple sentence correctly in English.Edlow says thats not enough. He wants the test to probe deeper presenting a broader cross-section of U.S. principles and for English skills to be evaluated throughout the entire naturalization interview, not just in isolated reading and writing exercises."I want adjudicators to really be listening and talking throughout the interview," he said. "Switch up some of the wording... and see if the individuals are still able to comprehend the questions. Thats a better gauge of readiness."Edlow said the test must preserve the integrity of the process and reflect assimilation expectations. He also pointed to a recent executive order declaring English the national language, calling language fluency "an imperative part" of the American dream.The director also took aim at long-standing flaws in the H-1B visa system, which permits U.S. companies to hire high-skilled foreign workers in specialty fields.KEY IMMIGRATION PROPOSAL VOWS TO END 'BACKDOOR HIRING PRACTICES' IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES"Companies are going for the highest-skilled workers but paying them at the lowest wage level," he said. "Thats undercutting U.S. graduates, especially in STEM fields."He cited cases when third-party contracting firms helped employers lay off American workers sometimes even requiring them to train their own foreign replacements as evidence of a program being exploited to suppress wages.Vice President JD Vance has echoed a similar sentiment. In July, he called out Microsoft for laying off around 9,000 American workers while applying for 4,700 H1-B visas. "I don't want companies to fire 9,000 American workers and then to go and say, 'We can't find workers here in America.' That's a bulls--- story."The visa program has emerged as a political flashpoint within the GOP, creating a rift between MAGA populists and pro-business conservatives.Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said hed "go to war" in support of the H1-B visa program and branded its Republican opponents"hateful, unrepentant racists."To tighten oversight of the program, Edlow said USCIS will work with the Department of Labor to expand worksite enforcement and ensure that wages and job functions match whats on paper."We want to make sure those brought over are truly commensurate with the roles they're filling and not part of a cost-cutting scheme," he added.On the issue of welfare-related immigration policy, Edlow said USCIS is preparing to revisit thepublic charge rule a legal standard that bars green cards for applicants likely to become reliant on public assistance.The rule has existed in some form for over a century but was more strictly interpreted during the Trump administration to include certain non-cash benefits like Medicaid or housing aid. The Biden administration returned to guidance that did not take non-cash benefits into account.Edlow said changes would take time."Its something weve got to study and get right," he said. "We need to look at the means-tested benefits being offered and ensure our adjudicators know what to look for to determine if someone would be a burden on U.S. taxpayers."Beyond policy changes, Edlow flagged the growing USCIS case backlog as a top operational threat one he says now carries national security implications."Backlogs that continue to grow are nothing short of a national security threat to this country," he said, blaming the Biden administration for shifting agency resources away from legal immigration priorities in response to record-breaking illegal border crossings.While he pledged to reduce adjudication times, Edlow warned that shortcuts wont be part of the strategy."There may be short-term pain," he said. "But we will decrease the backlog at a steady clip while protecting the integrity and security of the system."

Because if it wasnt for me getting tested for something else, they wouldnt have stumbled up on this," he said earlier this week. "Make sure you get the right care because without wonderful people like this, I wouldnt be sitting here today becaue it grew so expeditiously.

Abortion providers and Democrat-led states are bringing lawsuits over the Trump administration's decision to defund Planned Parenthood, a legal fight that raises the stakes by challenging the will of both Congress and the president.Planned Parenthood and several blue states have sued over the provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that strips Medicaid funding from certain abortion providers for one year. The bill was passed by Congress and signed by the president in July.The legislation advances the pro-life movements longtime goal of defunding Planned Parenthood, the nations largest abortion provider, but a federal judge in Massachusetts has temporarily blocked the Trump Health and Human Services Department from carrying it out.Derek Muller, a professor at Notre Dame Law School, told Fox News Digital that taking on two branches of government sets this litigation apart from many of the hundreds of other lawsuits targeting the Trump administration.SENATE PARLIAMENTARIAN OKS BAN ON PLANNED PARENTHOOD FEDERAL FUNDING IN TRUMP MEGABILL"Congress has the power of the purse," Muller said. "Congress has a lot of discretion [over] how it wants to spend its money, and this is not an instance where the executive has been engaged in overreach or doubtful conduct. This is ordinary legislation, and when it comes to ordinary legislation, there's more deference given to Congress, and certainly more in how it chooses to subsidize things, where it wants to give money or where it doesn't want to give money."The judge's decision to temporarily block the funding cuts stemmed from a lawsuit brought by Planned Parenthood, a nonprofit with hundreds of facilities across the country that provide abortions and other reproductive health services.Planned Parenthood's attorneys alleged in court papers that the provision was unconstitutional, arguing it would deprive the nonprofit of millions of dollars in Medicaid reimbursements, causing it to lose half of its patients and forcing it to shutter up to one-third of its facilities.FEDERAL JUDGE PAUSES TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S PLANNED PARENTHOOD DEFUNDING MEASUREKatie Daniel, counsel at SBA Pro-Life America, told Fox News Digital Planned Parenthood was making a "desperate argument" that "totally undermines Congress' ability to determine how taxpayer dollars are spent." It also signals that Planned Parenthood was not a solvent business, she said."It's a business that really can't keep itself afloat without getting hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars," Daniel said.Planned Parenthood's attorneys noted that Medicaid does not typically cover abortions and that the funding cuts would affect other services. Cancer and sexually transmitted infections would go undetected, especially for low-income people, and more unplanned pregnancies would occur because of a lack of contraception access, the attorneys said."The adverse public health consequences of the Defund Provision will be grave," the attorneys wrote.Daniel said the Medicaid marketplace includes other options for clinics and that those options "outnumber Planned Parenthood nationally 15 to one."Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, said she was inclined to agree with Planned Parenthood that the legislation violated several provisions in the Constitution and granted a preliminary injunction, which the Department of Justice is now appealing.That lawsuit has been joined by two others challenging the bill. A coalition of 21 states with Democratic attorneys general, along with the District of Columbia and Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, brought one of them on Monday.Maine Family Planning, which operates 18 health facilities in the Pine Tree State, has also sued over the legislation. While lawmakers have touted that the bill defunds Planned Parenthood, it was written to include other entities, including Maine Family Planning, as a way to pass parliamentarian scrutiny.JUDGE TORCHED FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD ORDER: HER COURT LOOKS 'LIKE A FAST FOOD DRIVE-THROUGH'Daniel told Fox News Digital she anticipates the higher courts will rule in favor of the Trump administration but that the bill's one-year limit on the funding cuts works in Planned Parenthood's favor."At this point for Planned Parenthood, it's really about running out the clock," Daniel said. "The defund provision is for one year, so every single day that they can keep getting money. That's existential to them."If the Trump administration ultimately wins the court fight, it could attempt to claw back the Medicaid funds it lost while Talwani's injunction was in place. Daniel noted, however, that "it's incredibly difficult, it's time-consuming, it's costly, and Planned Parenthood is relying on all of that."Among Planned Parenthood's allegations was a longshot claim that Congress's bill violates the Constitution's bill of attainder clause because it singles out and punishes Planned Parenthood without a trial.Bills of attainder are pieces of legislation that serve to bypass the role of judges and punish people or entities. The Constitution prohibits bills of attainder because they infringe on the function of the courts.Muller told Fox News Digital he believed the bill of attainder argument was a "nonstarter.""People have tried to argue that certain things that Congress does, singling out or targeting individuals, could rise to a bill of attainder," Muller said. "This has gotten some traction in lower courts. It has never really gotten traction in the courts of appeal because it is far afield from the original meaning of the Constitution on this topic."

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and other federal officials arrested an illegal immigrant who was recently released from a county jail despite facing multiple charges of sex crimes against children.Oscar Adalberto Penate, a 56-year-old from El Salvador, was taken back into custody on July 27 in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, with assistance from Homeland Security Investigations and the IRS' Philadelphia offices. The Department of Homeland Security said Penate who had an ICE detainer placed on him was allowed to walk out of the Montgomery County Correctional Facility in Pennsylvania "due to the county's sanctuary policies.""If the elected officials in Montgomery County are not going to protect the citizens of the county, we will," said ICE ERO Philadelphia Field Office Director Brian McShane said in a statement. "An illegal alien who committed a crime by unlawfully entering the United States, who is then charged with heinous crimes like this, should never be released to prey on the citizens of Montgomery County."The sanctuary policies recently enacted by the Montgomery County Commissioners forced prison officials to release this individual to the streets rather than turn him over to ICE officials on the detainer filed against him," McShane added. "I am just glad we got him before he could harm another."FBI CAPTURES FORMER MARINE CORPS RESERVIST ACCUSED OF SHOOTING AT ICE OFFICERS AT TEXAS DETENTION CENTERHomeland Security said Penate claimed to have entered the United States in 1998 by crossing the border into Texas.On July 22, he was arrested by the Pottstown Township Police Department on charges including "involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a person less than 16 years of age, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, two counts of indecent assault of a person less than 13 years of age, two counts of corruption of minors by a defendant age 18 or above, and two counts of indecent assault without consent of the other party."ICE ARRESTS MS-13 MEMBER WITH LENGTHY RAP SHEET AFTER VIRGINIA COUNTY REFUSED TO COOPERATEThose charges against Penate are pending."His criminal history includes an arrest by the Houston Police Department on Aug. 18, 2001, for resisting arrest, search or transport," Homeland Security also said. "He pleaded guilty to these charges Aug. 24, 2001."Penate will now remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings, Homeland Security added.The government of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania did not immediately respond Friday to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

One of the three suspects in the brutal downtown street beating from early Saturday morning will soon be released on bond.Jermaine Matthews, 39, will leave the Hamilton County Jail on Thursday after paying a combined $270,000 bond after he was hit with four charges stemming from the beatdown, according to his attorney, Brandon Fox."The way that it works, he's got an electronic monitoring component to his bond," Fox told Fox News Digital. "Basically an ankle monitor. So, while he posted the financial component, it still requires the probation department to come over and ensure that the ankle monitor is on, [to] tell him the rules, where he can go when, he can go there, that kind of stuff."DOJ, FBI INVESTIGATE BRUTAL CINCINNATI ASSAULT CAPTURED IN VIRAL VIDEOMatthews was charged with two counts of assault, two counts of felony assault and aggravated riot for his alleged participation in the brutal brawl, which has garnered national attention this week.During a bond hearing Thursday afternoon, Fox told the court that Matthews did not start the fight."That video that we discussed yesterday has now been released of that individual slapping on my client and then the fight ensuing thereafter," he said.Fox also said that Matthews is not responsible for knocking unconscious the male victim seen in the viral video."That person was knocked unconscious by a different individual, and my client moved that person from his business vehicle. That's where the basis of that charge comes from," Fox said.Fox also claimed that one of the victims used racial slurs before the fight.THIRD SUSPECT IN BRUTAL CINCINNATI BEATDOWN ARRESTED, CHARGED WITH ASSAULT"I will tell you, that there's a lot more to the story than what's been reported thus far," he told Fox News Digital on Friday. "We expect that additional information will come forth today. That information will likely dispel a lot of the narrative that's already been placed out by politicians."Matthews' next court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 8, according to jail records.A Cincinnati Police detective was also present during the hearing and disputed that the slap began the fight.He told the judge that "we have video footage that totally disputes the slap being the first incident of someone putting their hands on someone."Assistant Hamilton County Prosecutor David Hickenlooper also weighed in."This person is unconscious," he said of the victim. "[Matthews] wasn't rendering aid. He was dragging him into the middle of the street after he had been knocked out. This is my understanding."Two other suspects remain in jail as of Friday morning.Montianez Merriweather, 34, and Dekyra Vernon, 24, were arrested Tuesday night. Both face felonious assault, aggravated riot and assault charges. Merriweather is being held on a $500,000 bond, while Vernon is being held on a $200,000 bond.Another two suspects have been charged, according to Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge, but neither of their names have been released, and they have not been apprehended.

cryYou might already know that Facebooks biggest strength isnt the social media platform itself, but the user data it collects.The data we hand over without thinking twice is what this multibillion-dollar company uses to generate revenue. It sells that data to advertisers, who then try to make money off you by showing ads in the hope that youll buy their products. Ill admit, sometimes the ad platform can be beneficial by connecting small businesses to potential buyers.However, since Facebook allows almost anyone to advertise with minimal moderation, it often leads to dangerous scams. Security researchers have found that a persistent malvertising campaign is plaguing Facebook, leveraging the reputations of well-known cryptocurrency exchanges to lure victims into a maze of malware.16 BILLION PASSWORDS LEAKED IN MASSIVE DATA BREACHBitdefender Labs reports that a malicious ad campaign has been running on Facebook for several months. The attackers use deceptive ads that imitate popular cryptocurrency brands like Binance, TradingView, ByBit and MetaMask. To make the scams seem legitimate, the ads often feature familiar faces such as Elon Musk, Cristiano Ronaldo or Zendaya.When users click the ads, they land on fake websites that look nearly identical to the real ones. These sites prompt visitors to download a so-called "desktop client." That download serves as the entry point for a sophisticated malware system.WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?Instead of delivering malware directly, the fake site launches a silent server on the victim's device. This server then connects with a back-end channel to receive malicious instructions. The method makes it harder for traditional security tools to detect the attack.To avoid exposure, the attackers also use advanced filtering and tracking tools. If a user doesn't arrive through specific Facebook ad links, the website may show harmless content instead. The site also checks for automated tools or sandbox environments designed to catch threats. In some cases, it even blocks access unless the user opens it in Microsoft Edge, showing blank pages in other browsers.Bitdefender researchers found hundreds of Facebook accounts involved in promoting the campaign, sometimes posting over 100 ads in a single day. While many of these ads are taken down quickly, they often rack up thousands of views before disappearing.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREOne Facebook page perfectly imitated TradingViews official account, including fake comments, posts and imagery, except for the redirect links that led to the malicious clone. The victims targeted tended to be men interested in technology and finance, and some ads specifically honed in on users in Bulgaria and Slovakia, showing how attackers fine-tune their campaigns based on geography and demographics.As this Facebook scam shows, cybercriminals are getting more creative and more convincing by the day. These tips can help you stay a step ahead.Scammers have become masters of visual deception. They replicate branding, use celebrity endorsements and mimic official pages to give their ads an air of legitimacy. In the Facebook malvertising campaign, attackers used names like Binance and faces like Elon Musk to earn trust instantly. Instead of clicking on ads, it's safer to visit the company's official website directly by typing the URL yourself. Take a moment to verify with official social media accounts or customer service if you're ever unsure about an ads authenticity.In these attacks, users were tricked into downloading what appeared to be desktop apps for trusted services but were actually malware installers. The best way to safeguard yourself from malicious links that install malware, potentially accessing your private information, is to have strong antivirus software installed on all your devices. This protection can also alert you to phishing emails and ransomware scams, keeping your personal information and digital assets safe.Get my picks for the best 2025 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices atCyberGuy.com/LockUpYourTech.Interestingly, the attackers in this campaign used browser filtering to avoid detection, even prompting users to reopen the site specifically in Microsoft Edge. Using a secure browser like Firefox or Brave can help, and keeping it up to date ensures you're protected against the latest threats. Tools like content blockers or script filters can also help stop malicious behavior before it starts.Even the most convincing fake websites often have tells, whether its a slightly off-brand URL, an odd layout or messaging that feels rushed or generic. A secure URL should begin with "https://" and match the official domain name. If a site urges you to act quickly, promises high returns or asks for personal information up front, take a step back. These emotional pressure tactics are a hallmark of modern scams.Two-factor authentication(2FA) can provide an additional layer of security in case your accounts are compromised. Even if you accidentally fall for a scam and your login credentials are stolen, 2FA makes it significantly harder for attackers to access your account without the second verification step.While no service promises to remove all your data from the internet, using a personal data removal service can reduce your risk of being targeted in the first place. These services continuously scan data broker sites and request removals on your behalf, helping to keep your contact info, location history, and interests out of the hands of advertisers and potentially scammers. Given how this campaign leveraged Facebook data to target users interested in crypto and tech, the less data available about you online, the harder it is for attackers to personalize their scams.Check out my top picks for data removal services and get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web by visitingCyberguy.com/Delete.Get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web:Cyberguy.com/FreeScan.Facebooks failure to rein in malvertising doesnt just put users at risk. It undermines the entire point of its ads platform. If people start associating Facebook ads with scams and malware, theyll stop clicking. And when that happens, advertisers lose money on impressions that go nowhere, eroding trust in the platforms ability to deliver real, safe engagement. For a company that relies so heavily on ad revenue, letting these threats slip through isnt just careless. Its self-destructive. If Facebook doesnt get a handle on this, both users and advertisers will eventually look elsewhere.Do you think social media platforms are doing enough to combat online scams?

FIRST ON FOX: A House lawmaker is making a push to hold mayors of sanctuary cities responsible for illegal immigrants committing murder within their jurisdictions.Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., is introducing the Establishing Responsibility for Illegals Crimes and Adding Deterrence and Accountability for Mayors Sanctuary Cities Act, or the ERIC ADAMS Act, on Friday.If passed, the bill would open sanctuary city mayors to criminal liability if illegal immigrants living there were found guilty of murder.COMER DISMISSES BIDEN DOCTOR'S BID FOR PAUSE IN COVER-UP PROBE: 'THROWING OUT EVERY EXCUSE'It's named after New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who is up for re-election this November.Carter, meanwhile, is running to unseat Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., in the November 2026 midterms.The bill's introduction comes days after the Trump administration moved to sue the Big Apple for its sanctuary policies, one of multiple such lawsuits President Donald Trump's officials are pursuing against Democrat-run cities and states.FAR-LEFT FIREBRAND SAYS SHE 'NEVER HAD A CONCERN' ABOUT BIDEN'S MENTAL STATE AS HOUSE PROBE HEATS UPUnder the terms of Carter's legislation, a sanctuary city mayor could be found guilty of "criminal negligence resulting in manslaughter" if an undocumented person committed murder there and if "the mayor knowingly adopted, maintained, or failed to repeal a sanctuary policy that materially restricted cooperation with Federal immigration enforcement, and such policy directly and foreseeably contributed to the failure to detain or remove" the person before the crime was committed, according to bill text obtained by Fox News Digital.It would carry a penalty of up to seven years in prison, as well as certain fines.Enforcement would be left to the attorney general, the bill text said."Laken Riley and countless other loved ones could still be alive today if our immigration laws were respected by mayors of sanctuary cities," Carter told Fox News Digital, referencing a nursing student killed by an illegal immigrant in early 2024 in Georgia."As far as Im concerned, they have blood on their hands and should be held personally accountable for creating a lawless environment that allows criminal illegal aliens to commit murder."Fox News Digital reached out to Adams' campaign and the New York City Mayor's Office for comment but did not hear back.

The southern border has largely gone quiet.United States Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks posted to X on Friday that southwest border apprehensions hit a monthly record low in July, with only 4,399 apprehensions. For the third month in a row, there have been zero releases.This is the new all-time record low, beating the prior record low of 6,070 in June.BORDER CROSSINGS PLUMMET TO HISTORIC LOWS; TRUMP'S ENFORCEMENT POLICIES YIELD BIG RESULTSIn July, it averages out to 141 apprehensions per day at the southern border. At the height of the Biden-era crisis, there were 10,000-plus apprehensions on some days in December 2023.CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGEThe high number of crossings resulted in an intense strain on resources in small border communities for years, as agents struggled to keep up with the demand while also dealing with responsibilities at the legal ports of entry.In addition, many migrants were bused at the request of some Republican leaders to Democratic-run areas like New York City.'TRUMP EFFECT' TOUTED AS SOUTHERN BORDER NUMBERS STAY LOW, INCLUDING NEW RECORDDuring the Biden administration, the record high was December 2023, with 249,785 apprehensions, the majority of which were released into the U.S. The nosedive in numbers is seen as a major victory by Republicans and the Trump administration."The border is secure again as it should be. Strong policies equal quiet borders," Rep. Morgan Luttrell, R-Texas, posted to X.At the start of President Donald Trumps second term, troops were deployed to the border, and the CBP One app that was commonly used for people crossing illegally to claim asylum was shuttered.NEW DATA REVEALS BORDER CROSSINGS REACH RECORD LOWS AMID TRUMP ADMIN'S CRACKDOWNThe app was replaced with CBP Home, which is used for people to self-deport. The Department of Homeland Security has been touting for months an offer to give people $1,000 and free travel outside the U.S. if they have not committed other crimes. Deportation efforts are now underway throughout the U.S., as the administration is honing in on areas with sanctuary policies, with push back from Democratic officials at different levels of Congress.Still, border and immigration enforcement is expected to get a resources boost with the recent passage of the Trump-backed spending bill, dubbed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Billions were allocated for border security efforts, including to pay back states for costs incurred during the Biden administration, and ICE is now beginning recruitment for thousands more agents theyve been given the budget to hire.
