On July 18, 1974, the former Beatle was officially told (again) to get out of the United States.Considering the latter-day, beloved status that John Lennon enjoyed as a world citizen who promoted peace and harmony, it almost beggars belief that on July 18, 1974, the former Beatle was officially told (again) to get out of the United States. That was the day newspapers reported that Lennon had been told by the Board of Immigration Appeals that he had until September 10 to leave the country or face deportation. Not exactly the news he wanted to hear, as he set to...

The Rules are ghosted—once more—in California’s latest episode of immigration lawfare. When federal courts issue emergency orders—like temporary restraining orders (TROs) or preliminary injunctions—Rule 65(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure imposes a clear requirement: The court may issue a preliminary injunction or a temporary restraining order only if the movant gives security in an amount that the court considers proper to pay the costs and damages sustained by any party found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained [emphasis added]. But in Vasquez-Perdomo v. Noem, Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong—a Biden appointee in the Central District of California—blithely casts...

On a daily basis, ICE officers battle protesters who oppose the enforcement of immigration law. These attacks are coming from multiple sources, and challenge not only the effectiveness of ICE, but endanger the agents’ lives.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Monday that it would rescind protections from deportation for Nicaragua and Honduras. The move ends temporary protected status (TPS) for citizens of those countries living in the U.S., which were both established after the same deadly hurricane and in place for more than 25 years. The move will end protections from deportation for more than 52,000 Hondurans and nearly 3,000 Nicaraguans who have been in the U.S. since the late 1990s. The protections are offered to those who are in the U.S. but cannot be safely returned home due to a natural disaster...

The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for the deportation of several immigrants who were put on a flight in May bound for South Sudan, a war-ravaged country where they have no ties. The decision comes after the court’s conservative majority found that immigration officials can quickly deport people to third countries. The majority halted an order that had allowed immigrants to challenge any removals to countries outside their homeland where they could be in danger. The court’s latest order makes clear that the South Sudan flight detoured weeks ago can now complete the trip. It reverses findings from...

MIAMI, Fla. - Florida officials say the controversial new immigration detention center known as "Alligator Alcatraz" is on track to open Tuesday, despite protests and a pending federal lawsuit aimed at stopping it.

It’s designed to house, process, and deport undocumented immigrants. Gov. Ron DeSantis says the state is preparing to begin intake operations on July 1.

A sleazy bid by a federal judge to defy the Supreme Court’s decision on Team Trump deportations shows exactly why the ruling was necessary in the first place. On Monday, the justices stayed a preliminary injunction by District Judge Brian Murphy (a Biden appointee) that had blocked the Trump folks from deporting migrants to countries they didn’t come from without sufficient time to appeal. That should’ve been an immediate green light for the feds to deport eight criminal migrants to South Sudan, even though seven of the men originate from other countries. Yet Murphy flipped the high court a bird,...

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) has formally called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate and revoke the U.S. citizenship of radical socialist and NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, citing credible concerns that he may have obtained citizenship under false pretenses — including sympathies for convicted terrorists. “Zohran ‘little muhammad’ Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York,” Rep. Ogles wrote on X. “He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings.” According to the letter sent by Ogles to the Department of Justice,...

The Supreme Court ruled that Trump's deportations to third-world countries can continue without limited notice, blocking an injunction by a little judge who sought to wrest immigration policy away from the executive. The high court slapped down Judge Brian Murphy’s order, but like James Boasberg, another disgrace to the bench, he’s ignoring the ruling.

US District Judge Brian Murphy on Monday evening defied the US Supreme Court and said his order barring deportation of illegal aliens to South Sudan remains in effect. In a 6-3 decision, the US Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump Administration to resume deporting illegal aliens to ‘third-party’ countries. The Supreme Court granted the Trump Administration’s emergency application and paused Judge Brian Murphy’s order blocking the third-country removals.

n a 6-3 decision, the US Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump Administration to resume deporting illegal aliens to ‘third-party’ countries. This means the Trump Administration’s effort to deport criminal aliens to South Sudan is back on. The Supreme Court granted the Trump Administration’s emergency application and paused Judge Brian Murphy’s order blocking the third-country removals. Liberal Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson dissented. Last month US District Judge Brian Murphy, a Biden appointee, said the Trump Administration violated his court order to provide the aliens with “meaningful” due process since they were being sent to “third-party” countries. ...
