A New York Jewish advocacy group blasted Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) Sunday, after she accused Israel of putting Arab children in cages in Judea and Samaria. Last week, Ocasio-Cortez spoke at an Austin, Texas gathering of the Democratic Socialists of America. Following comments by pro-Palestinian protesters at the event, Ocasio-Cortez accused Israel of putting Arab children in Judea and Samaria in cages, saying: “I don’t believe that a child should be in a cage on our border, and I don’t believe a child should be in a cage in the West Bank.” On Sunday, the Queens Jewish Community Council responded...

U.S. BORDER CRISIS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS JOE BIDEN KAMALA HARRIS Aboat thought to be illegally smuggling humans into the United States capsized Sunday morning off the coast of San Diego, leaving three people dead and 27 others injured.

A prison is a prison. That’s true whether it’s called a “family residential facility,” or a “rapid-processing center.” These facilities must be torn down, not renamed. I know what it’s like to be incarcerated as a child. I’m a Japanese-American who was born behind barbed wire, in the maximum-security Tule Lake Segregation Center during World War II. When I was two years old, I was transferred to the Crystal City Family Internment Camp, run by the Immigration and Naturalization Service — the agency that evolved decades later into ICE. It is just a 20-minute drive away from Carrizo Springs and...

During his tenure as president, Donald Trump adopted a tough on illegal immigration policy—largely via executive orders—that drew the constant ire of his critics. Border patrol agents intercepted many who crossed the southern border illegally, including youths.

Yet these immigration policies do not appear to be...

* Illegal migrants said they’re coming to the U.S. because of President Joe Biden, natural disasters and violence in their home countries. * A landowner where migrants frequently cross on their way to a processing facility said they tell him they’re here because Biden invited them. * Some of the migrants said they did not want to leave their countries but had to because of corruption and a lack of opportunity.

The Supreme Court on Thursday made it easier to deport illegal immigrants who have been convicted of a crime. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the opinion for a 5-3 conservative majority that ruled against a Mexican citizen who entered the U.S. illegally and has lived in the country for 25 years. The man, Clemente Avelino Pereida, had been charged in Nebraska with using a fraudulent Social Security card to get a job and convicted under a state law against criminal impersonation. Illegal immigrants with criminal convictions who are facing deportation can ask the attorney general to allow them to remain in...
