  "summary": "The upcoming US midterms in 2026 will likely have significant implications for US immigration policies, particularly those affecting Indian professionals. With President Trump's administration tightening skilled-worker immigration rules, the election outcome will determine whether Republicans retain control of Congress or if Democrats gain the power to scrutinize and potentially block parts of the president's legislative agenda. If Democrats gain control, they may increase congressional scrutiny of the administration's immigration policies, including its treatment of skilled foreign workers, visa enforcement, and green-card applications. However, they cannot automatically reverse immigration restrictions introduced through presidential orders or executive agencies.",
