For years, we have told immigrants what any lawyer would: If the police knock on your door, you should not open the door unless the police present a valid warrant. A valid warrant means a warrant issued by an independent magistrate – a judge, not an executive branch official. This is a critical check on the power of the executive branch.
ICE seems to disagree. According to an extremely well-sourced set of whistleblowers, the Acting ICE Director, Todd Lyons, issued a memo stating that administrative warrants may be used to enter homes by force in order to effect an arrest. Here is the text of the leaked memorandum, in relevant part. (Our highlights are in bold below.) (more…)
This April, Arlington will host founders from around the world working in cybersecurity, aerospace and dual-use technologies who are considering where to expand in the U.S.
Through its Arlington Tech Launchpad, Arlington Economic Development (AED) is welcoming 25 high-potential global security companies for a three-day immersion program designed to introduce them to the U.S. market and to Arlington’s growing innovation ecosystem. The goal is to turn a short visit into long-term economic impact.
The program connects founders with national security and industry leaders, local startups, universities and research institutions already active in Arlington. For many participants, it’s their first in-depth look at the U.S. market and a key moment in deciding where to locate, hire and invest.

Anyone who commutes into Washington understands why Rosslyn has been coined “The Gateway.” It’s a small taste of what you are about to enter after leaving the Old Dominion. The enclave is home to multiple Fortune 500 companies, swanky dining concepts and residents looking to be DC-adjacent, and for the rest of us– a part of the commute slug. Now a shining example for the county, Rosslyn started off more like a stubborn stain.
Rosslyn’s documented history began on an endearing note with a father, Joseph Lambden, purchasing a substantial portion of property for his daughter and her husband, Carolyn & William Ross, in 1860. The property would be christened “Rosslyn Farm.” Their newlywed nest didn’t last long. With the occupation of Arlington by Federal troops and disturbances of the Civil War, the couple had moved to France and officially sold the property to the Rosslyn Development Corporation in 1869.

On January 1, USCIS Director Joe Edlow released another profoundly silly memo adding another twenty countries to the Trump Administration’s domestic immigration freeze. In this advertorial, we’ll tell you (1) what countries have been added, (2) possible reasons why, and (3) how this is affecting our clients.(more…)

The Arlington Economic Development (AED) Business Investment Group wrapped up a milestone 2025 with investments and new programs that helped Arlington’s startup and tech ecosystem scale — and laid the groundwork for an even more ambitious 2026 focused on solidifying National Landing as a global hub for innovation and national security tech.
Central to this year’s accomplishments was the Arlington Innovation Fund (AIF), AED’s strategic initiative to position Arlington as a nationally recognized destination for startups, investors and innovators. In 2025, emphasis shifted to the Tech Ecosystem Support Fund, which directs resources to ecosystem-building events and partnerships that strengthen the regional innovation landscape.
Two high-profile collaborations highlighted Arlington’s growing influence:
DC Startup & Tech Week hosted its second full day of programming in Arlington at Amazon HQ2, drawing nearly 1,500 attendees and showcasing National Landing’s transformation into a vibrant startup destination.
George Mason University’s Accelerate Conference welcomed record participation — 480 attendees including 72 active investors — where 48 selected startups pitched directly to investors. The program also awarded $10,000 in non-dilutive funding to the top finalist, creating new pathways for early-stage company growth.
