The Cato Institute argues that the Supreme Court's decision to reauthorize the SAVE student loan repayment program is being overstated by some commentators, and that its practical impact is smaller than claimed. The SAVE plan, an income-driven repayment scheme for federal student borrowers, has been a frequent target of litigation and political debate, making any court action on it headline-worthy.

The Cato Institute reports that legal immigration from majority-Muslim countries has fallen by 96% since 2024. The finding points to a dramatic collapse in visas and green cards issued to nationals of these nations under current US policy. Critics are likely to frame it as a de facto ban on Muslim immigration, while supporters may call it a fulfilment of tightened admission and vetting rules.
