    New York Attorney General Letitia James was hit with a federal criminal referral for instances of alleged mortgage fraud on Tuesday, according to a letter obtained by The Post. Federal Housing FHFA Director William Pulte sent the missive to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche, alleging that James had “falsified records” to get home loans for a property in Virginia that she claimed was her “principal residence” in 2023 — while still serving as a New York state prosecutor. In February 2001, James also purchased a five-family dwelling in Brooklyn — but has “consistently misrepresented the same...

    Sitting beside President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele told reporters he would not return a man the Justice Department said it mistakenly deported to his country. "How can I return him to the United States? Like if I smuggle him into the United States? Of course I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous," Bukele said when asked if he'd return Kilmar Abrego Garcia. "We're not very fond of releasing terrorists," he added. Trump then turned to Bukele and said of the assembled reporters: "They'd love to have a criminal released into...

    A Louisiana immigration judge ruled Friday that activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported. Khalil, who as a Columbia University graduate student led pro-Palestinian protests there last year, was detained last month after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he had determined that Khalil's activism was antisemitic and that allowing him to remain in the country would undermine a U.S. foreign policy goal of combatting antisemitism around the world. During a hearing at the remote Louisiana detention center where Khalil is being held, Judge Jamee Comans said she had no authority to question Rubio's determination. After the ruling, Khalil told the...

    Just hours after implementing tariffs of varying levels on trade partners worldwide, President Donald Trump said he would pause the 'reciprocal' import taxes for 90 days. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the pause would be effective immediately and the base tariff of 10% will still be enforced. He said he felt the pause was needed because more than 75 countries had contacted his administration to make trade deals.
