Recent news impact

No high-signal, recent (last ~45 days) news item in the provided evidence clearly indicates a enacted change that would materially affect short-term relocation conditions for immigrants (e.g., border/asylum/residency law changes, deportation policy shifts, or a significant security shock). Some provided items concern migration administration capacity, defense/military-related developments, and general travel advisories; however, without clear enacted immigration-relevant policy changes tied to the relocation outlook in the short term, the correct news-driven adjustment layer remains neutral.
