An illegal immigrant was arrested Saturday for stealing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s pricey Gucci bag containing $3,000 in cash and other personal items – and a second migrant suspect is still on the loose, according to sources. Noem, 53, was on an Easter outing with her family at The Capital Burger in Washington, DC, when the masked thief stole the luxury shoulder bag, which also contained her driver’s license, passport, DHS badge and apartment keys on April 20. The suspect, whose identity was not immediately available, was busted by the DC Metro Police and the Secret Service, sources said....

* * * This is beyond disgusting. A man who allies himself with and speaks for genocidal Jew haters, who has a clean, if not particularly comfortable venue, sufficient food, no forced labor, access to lawyers and libraries, a national publication anxious to publish his word, and multiple court hearings, and who, at worst, will be removed to a country sharing his values, claims that he is a victim of the new Nazis—America. Khalil, his ghost writers, and the Washington Post are so morally repugnant that anything I write is inadequate to make that point. The Democrat party is sick....

BREAKING: Justice Kagan just denied emergency request from four people in the US illegally who are set to be deported. They lost before Bd of Immigration Appeals, 9th Cir affirmed. They asserted that they were victims of cartel violence and face explicit death threats.

It came down with an announcement that those who are in the U.S. illegally and refuse to leave will be charged $998 per day until they go, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced. One senior Trump administration official said the fines will be retroactive up to five years, dating back to 2019, which could result in penalties totaling over $1 million in some circumstances

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner announced Monday that their agencies will work together to prevent illegal migrants from living in public housing. The Trump administration aims to end the “wasteful misappropriation” of taxpayer money going to subsidize housing for illegal migrants by having DHS “identify illegal aliens who are ineligible for Federal housing assistance” to HUD, according to the new memorandum of understanding between the two agencies. “American tax dollars should be used for the benefit of American citizens, especially when it comes to an issue as pressing as our nation’s housing...

Federal authorities said the Brown University assistant professor and doctor deported to Lebanon despite having an H-1B visa expressed support and attended the funeral of a slain Hezbollah leader responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans. Rasha Alawieh, a 34-year-old physician specializing in kidney transplants who was most recently living in Rhode Island, was detained at Boston Logan International Airport on Thursday while coming back from a trip to Lebanon. Alawieh was questioned by CBP and allegedly told federal agents she had attended the funeral of Nasrallah, Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Sady reportedly wrote in a new filing Monday....

This story stinks worse than that which was rotten in Denmark. So, Some Quick Thoughts (SQT) on it. This was and is a planned op. It clearly was expected that the new administration would try to deport him. Hence, his comment to his wife when getting picked up; the huge legal team including several $1,000/hr high-profile litigators; the PR teams at work; etc. They had things ready to go, and I think the only thing that caught them off guard was how fast he was taken to Louisiana. Someone, and I don’t think it purely domestic, wanted to make him...

I am loving this uproar over that communist terrorist fluffer from Columbia University, Mahmoud Khalil, who the feds detained with an eye towards booting his sorry rear out of our glorious country. First, I love how the commies are crying about it, how suddenly they care about free speech even though they carried absolutely nothing about free speech when normal patriotic Americans were being rounded up for daring to oppose abortion and bogus elections. I love how they’re calling his totally legitimate arrest a “kidnapping” when this guy’s unseemly and eager onanism over his dirtbag Palestinian buddies' kidnapping of innocent...

The Trump administration on Monday repeatedly stonewalled a federal judge seeking answers about whether the government had violated his order barring the deportation of more than 200 noncitizens without due process, escalating a conflict that threatened to become a constitutional crisis. At a hearing in Federal District Court in Washington, a Justice Department lawyer refused to answer any detailed questions about the deportation flights to El Salvador that took place over the weekend, arguing that President Trump had broad authority to remove the immigrants from the United States under an obscure wartime law known as the Alien Enemies Act. The...

The Trump administration has transferred hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador despite a federal judge’s order temporarily barring the deportations under an 18th century wartime declaration targeting Venezuelan gang members, officials said Sunday. Flights were in the air at the time of the ruling. U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg issued an order Saturday evening blocking the deportations but lawyers told him there were already two planes with migrants in the air — one headed for El Salvador, the other for Honduras. Boasberg verbally ordered the planes be turned around, but they apparently were not and he did not include...

A radical federal judge has moved to block former President Donald Trump’s efforts to secure America’s borders and protect its citizens. On Saturday, Chief Judge James E. Boasberg, an Obama-appointed leftist, granted a temporary restraining order to stop the Trump administration from deporting thousands of Venezuelan nationals under the Alien Enemies Act—an action well within the executive’s constitutional authority. This outrageous ruling comes after far-left groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Democracy Forward, rushed to court in a desperate bid to shield illegal immigrants from deportation. Their lawsuit, J.G.G. v. Trump, seeks to upend Trump’s lawful enforcement...

President Donald Trump is planning to use a 200-year-old wartime law to authorize the deportation of some migrants, including sending them to Guantanamo Bay. Trump will invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 as soon as Friday, according to reports, as he escalates his war on illegal immigration. The law gives presidents the power to order the arrest, detention and deportation of noncitizens who are 14 years or older and come from countries staging an 'invasion or predatory incursion' of the U.S. Trump has long vowed to protect the border and vowed mass deportations in his second term. In his...

President Donald J. Trump is reportedly about to invoke wartime legislation to summarily deport some criminal migrants – including to Guantanamo Bay. The ‘Alien Enemies Act’ of 1798 is expected to be activated as soon as tomorrow (14). CBS News reported: “The 227-year-old law gives presidents the extraordinary power to order the arrest, detention and deportation of noncitizens who are 14 years or older and come from countries staging an ‘invasion or predatory incursion’ of the U.S. Mr. Trump is expected to cite the 18th-century statute to order the swift detention and deportation of suspected members of the Tren de...

The Trump administration is rolling out a new app to replace the controversial CBP One app with the new replacement designed to facilitate the self-deportation of illegal immigrants. The Department of Homeland Security is announcing the CBP Home app -- which will launch with a self-deportation reporting feature for those in the country illegally. It replaces the CBP One app, which was expanded by the Biden administration to allow migrants to schedule appointments at ports of entry to be paroled into the U.S. Hundreds of thousands were paroled into the U.S. as a result. The Trump administration has ended the...

An illegal immigrant who once served as an aide to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has reportedly self-deported to Colombia, praising the "freedom of movement" in the South American nation after working in Congress despite being in the country illegally. Diego de la Vega was born in Ecuador and immigrated to the United States as a 7-year-old in 2001 on a visitor’s visa that he overstayed, Migrant Insider reported. The news raises thorny questions about his employment status for the Queens-based congresswoman. "It’s bittersweet. I hadn’t left the country in 23 years — from age seven to age 30," de la...

Attorney General Pam Bondi has issued a stern warning to Democrat governors who are refusing to deport illegal aliens, saying, “You better comply.” Bondi issued the warning during an appearance on Fox News on Friday. Immediately after being sworn in, Bondi filed lawsuits against New York, Illinois, and the city of Chicago for non-compliance and interfering with Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s deportation plans. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul have claimed they will fight back. Pritzker responded to the lawsuit by saying, “Unlike Donald Trump, we follow the law in Illinois. Now, maybe they put up...

The Trump administration, eager to force local officials to collaborate with ICE, is coming for a Tompkins County sheriff who released a man who’d served his sentence. Central New York’s Tompkins County, home to Ithaca, found itself in the federal government’s crosshairs last month when the Trump administration made the county a focal point of the president’s push to force localities to dedicate resources to mass deportations. Sheriff Derek Osborne did something routine: He released a man from jail after he’d served his sentence. But Immigration and Customs Enforcement wanted Osborne to hold the man, an undocumented immigrant, past his...

UCLA administrators said last Wednesday that they would be suspending two Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) organizations after masked campus activists outside the home of UC Regent Jay Sures. They vandalized his property and surrounded his wife in her car as well. In a broad campus message, Chancellor Julio Frenk stated that the UCLA Office of Student Conduct implemented an interim suspension while internal judicial procedures over the groups Students for Justice in Palestine and Graduate Students for Justice in Palestine occurred. The conduct proceedings and suspensions are indefinite. These groups will no longer be able to apply for...
