Lawyers for detained “Dreamer” Daniel Ramirez Medina went to court Friday seeking his immediate release and calling his arrest in a Des Moines apartment unconstitutional. A federal magistrate ruled he wasn’t empowered to free Ramirez before an immigration judge gets a chance to weigh in. But in a case that he said had far-reaching implications about federal policy regarding Dreamers, and which has drawn the concern of the Mexican government and immigration activists nationwide, Chief Magistrate Judge James Donohue took the unusual step of requiring that a bond hearing in immigration court be held within a week. U.S. District Court...

King said, “You go back to the question of the leaks, that is a criminal action. I mean to have a wiretap of anyone, a foreign national, and to have an American come on that, an American citizen come on that tape, there is all sorts of precautions in the law, how that person’s identity has to be masked, how it can’t be made public. Yet, it was not only made public; it was leaked to a newspaper. So you have the national security advisor being taped. That could have been a legal wiretap aimed at the Russians. Yet, to...

HAMPTON ROADS, Va. - (AP) - U.S. Marshals need help tracking down a convicted sex offender recently released from a Virginia prison after he failed to show up at a transitional center in Texas. News outlets report authorities say 44-year-old Matthew Ezekiel Stager was released Thursday from the Federal Correctional Complex in Petersburg.

Actress Sarah Silverman called for a military coup against President Trump on Wednesday night in the midst of violent riots in Berkeley, California. In a screaming all-capital-letters tweet exhorted her almost 10 million followers to “wake up & join the resistance,” a term from World War II that anti-Trump rioters have used to define themselves. She then outlined her preferred scenario for the violent overthrow of the legitimately elected government, still in all capital letters.

Senate Democrats know they may lose their last congressional tool to block legislation from the GOP-led Congress in November 2018, because they must defend 23 Seats seats while the GOP need only defend eight seats. That leaves many of the 23 Democratic Senators — and their leaders — with the difficult task of balancing party solidarity and personal political survival. Party leaders commonly give vulnerable senators leeway to buck their party going into an election year, but if the Democrats allow a third of their senators to freelance on critical votes during the next two years, they cease to function as a...

A video now going viral shows an anti-Donald Trump protester lighting a Trump supporter’s hair on fire during a confrontation the day of the presidential inauguration. The video shows Trump supporters on Friday engaging in a peaceful back-and-forth with protesters chanting “Love trumps hate,” referencing the new president. At one point, a Trump supporter walks up to the group of demonstrators to take a picture of her wearing Trump gear in front of them. As she poses for the photo with her back turned to the protesters, one of them can be seen approaching her and pulling out a lighter. As...

ROMA, Texas — Four family members who ran one of the largest cartel smuggling operations in south Texas had their life in prison sentences commuted and will likely be returning to this border city from where they ran their criminal empire. One of the main destinations that the criminal organizations delivered drugs to was Chicago, Illinois. This week, outgoing President Barack Obama commuted the sentences of 209 convicted criminals and pardoned 64 others. The majority of the convictions were from drug trafficking or production offenses. Four of those convicted criminals who had been sentenced to life in prison will be...

Illegal immigrants with criminal records, the deportation priority of President-elect Trump, total at least 820,000, with most having felony and serious misdemeanor convictions,..

Shortened title.

The hard left across the globe is gearing up for a campaign of international “resistance” to the worldwide populist/nationalist/conservative revolution represented by Brexit and the election of Donald Trump. It has already started in some U.S. cities in the form of riots, but those actions and the planned mega-protest of the Trump inauguration on Jan. 20 are only to prime the pump for a much larger and more sophisticated counter-revolution. The key leaders and financiers of the left have just met with Chief Puppetmaster George Soros behind closed doors to plan the implementation of the American version of his “Color...

Image from eastbayri.com East Providence Police Chief Christopher J. Parella is in trouble with the Supreme Court of Rhode Island. Again. He failed to issue licenses to carry handguns to three more applicants, without explaining any reason for doing so. From providencejournal.com: The law reads that a city or town's licensing authority "shall" issue a license when it appears that the applicant has a good reason to fear an injury to his or her person or property or has "any other proper reason" to carry. A proper showing of need is not a component of the law, the court...

Hillary should run again in 2020. No one in the Democrat Party can run a campaign like Hillary! She has the political machine intact, and her illnesses will not be much worse in 4 years. Her political operatives are masterful at dirty tricks and false flag operations. By staying in the race for 2020, she can continue to collect multi million dollar speaking fees, continue pay for play, and maintain her high lifestyle on her campaign donations rather than her personal funds. By remaining a candidate for the 2020 Democrat nomination, she can claim that NYPD scrutiny is politically based....

Feeling the Bern, Hillary? Does Hillary really need to get more than 270 electoral votes to win? She might, if two Democrat electors follow through on their threat not to give her their electoral college votes - even if she wins their state in a landslide. And guess what… They’re both from Washington state, and they’re both former Bernie Sanders supporters. Could it be that Hillary’s internal DNC corruption is coming home to roost?

EXCLUSIVE: Two State Department contractors, with decades of experience protecting the United States' most sensitive secrets, are speaking out for the first time about Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state and how the rules for government security clearance holders did not seem to apply to Clinton and her team

I don't know where they got the name Bill. They had been coming in at Dear Friend. In the 2008 cycle, they actually sent it to the email name. I was getting solicitations to Dear Clinton is a rapist, Dear Hillary is evil, etc. It is amazing how the spinner are able to twist the language. As if Hillary is the one trying to save the republic. As if Trump is the woman abuser. Today she commented - can you imagine Trump in charge of the Justice Department? They hit every negative and apply it to the other side.

NPR had a broadcast yesterday about Jose Alvarez, a "non-violent drug offender" who was deported from the U.S.  He says America cruelly divided his family by deporting him. You may wonder what his nonviolent drug offense was. So unimportant was his conviction that some articles about his case like this one will not tell you what his crime was.  But NPR and other sources reluctantly admit that he was a crystal meth dealer. That's nonviolent, right?
