CARLYLE, Ill. -- When Jose Jeronimo Guardian showed up at a Spanish language traffic court this week, he didn't expect to be detained and face expulsion from a country he'd lived in for more than two decades. Guardian, 48, was scheduled to appear Monday in a courtroom where a county-provided translator would aid communication with about a dozen Spanish-speaking defendants who face charges from traffic infractions like his - two charges of driving under the influence of alcohol - to serious felony charges. Guardian never made it into the courtroom. Instead, an agent from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement questioned...

Illinois lawmakers passed a bill on Friday prohibiting federal agents from making immigration arrests near courthouses. The measure also allows lawsuits when people believe their constitutional rights were violated during civil immigration arrests. The legislation, approved largely along party lines, was sent to Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker's desk. His office said he supports the idea and will review the proposal when it reaches his desk. According to the bill, civil damages for false imprisonment could be imposed when a migrant attending a court hearing or appearing as a party or witness to a legal proceeding is arrested. Supporters of the...

Islamic No-Go Zones in AmericaThe story about the ‘terrorist’ raid in Dearborn, Michigan, is still developing but there’s an interesting footnote to it that should really be the lead.Normally the FBI coordinates with local authorities if it’s planning a raid and major arrests in a city.Not so much in Dearborn, a city with a governing body that is infamously not only Muslim, but Islamists, and openly supportive of Islamic terrorism to such an extent that a Wall Street Journal editorial called it ‘America’s Jihadist Capital’.FBI Director Kash Patel says a “potential terrorist attack,” allegedly targeting Halloween weekend in Michigan, was...

Activist Judge Collen Kollar-Kotelly BLOCKED President Trump’s proof of citizenship requirement for federal voter registrations. This is nothing more than pure lawlessness. It is becoming more evident by the day that Democrats depend on fraud and broken election systems in order to gain control over the American people and push their dangerous policies. Kollar-Kotelly sided with far-left Democratic groups that sued the Trump administration for having the audacity to demand that voters in US elections are actually US citizens. According to the AP, Judge Kollar-Kotelly ruled that asking for proof of citizenship violated the separation of powers. That doesn’t make...

Snip - Vance said the optimal number of legal immigrants to admit is “far less than what we’ve been accepting,” but he did not offer a firm number when pressed by a woman who questioned his stance. He criticized former President Joe Biden’s immigration policies, which he said allowed too many people into the country and threatened the social fabric of the United States.

The subject of refugees entering the United States has been one we've steadily covered on these pages over the past few years, especially during President Joe Biden's term in the White House, when people from around the world were allowed to stream across the border with Mexico - and take flights into the nation's interior - practically unhindered by authorities. On Thursday, the Trump administration announced that it will be making a major change to how immigration works regarding refugees who are allowed to enter the U.S., starting the end of Oct. through the end of the fiscal year (that...

Trump said in an annual refugee determination dated September 30 that admissions would be focused largely on South Africans from the country's white Afrikaner ethnic minority. Trump has claimed Afrikaners face persecution based on their race in the Black-majority country, allegations the South African government has denied. Trump paused all U.S. refugee admissions...
