Trump administration weighs citizenship checks for bank customers amid immigration crackdown

The Trump administration is reportedly weighing a plan to require banks to verify the citizenship status of current and future customers as part of a hardline immigration crackdown. The move could come as an executive order, but officials say plans aren’t finalized and there are legal/operational questions. Industry sources warn that verifying citizenship for all customers would be unworkable and could force banks to assist in deportation efforts.

Trump Expands Iran Pressure With Tariffs, Emergency Order

The White House released a fact sheet announcing that President Trump has signed an executive order renewing the national emergency over Iran and creating a tariff system to penalize countries importing Iranian goods, aiming to shield U.S. security and economy. The order authorizes agencies to implement rules under the tariff mechanism and strengthens tools to counter Iran’s nuclear ambitions, terrorism support, ballistic missiles, and regional destabilization. The release stresses a continuous, intensified U.S. stance, citing past actions such as withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal, designating the IRGC a Foreign Terrorist Organization, and imposing maximum pressure, along with recent measures including Operation Midnight Hammer and significant naval deployments, all framed as pressing Tehran toward a nuclear-free deal.
