Trump Crackdown Slashes Immigrant Jobs, Reshaping Economy

CBS released a statement regarding the cancellation of an interview with James Talarico without consulting "The Late Show" host Stephen Colbert, according to Colbert himself. The incident, which Colbert addressed on his Monday night broadcast, highlights a potential rift between the comedian and his network, CBS.

In other news, a recent analysis by Goldman Sachs revealed a significant shift in the U.S. labor market. A sweeping crackdown on immigration, characterized by increased deportations and strict visa bans, during a second term of President Donald Trump, has led to an 80% collapse in net immigration to the U.S., according to a report released on February 16th. The investment bank's U.S. economics team, led by David Mericle, projected a significant drop in the arrival of new workers. Net immigration, which averaged approximately 1 million people per year during the 2010s, fell to 500,000 in 2025 and is projected to plummet further. This contraction is fundamentally altering the nation's labor supply, according to the report.
