Thousands of illegal immigrants facing potential involuntary removal from the U.S. have instead opted to self-deport through an app provided by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The number of immigrants who have opted to self-deport over the last month using the CBP Home app is over 5,000, according to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data shared with Fox News Digital. The self-deportations come as the Trump administration has ramped up a messaging campaign aimed at encouraging illegal immigrants to leave the country voluntarily, most recently releasing a flyer addressed to “illegal aliens” that threatens new fines for those...

A budget airline that only began operations under its current brand in 2021, Avelo has been attempting to expand quickly and fill gaps in service in cities that other big name airlines have ignored or abandoned. Its base at Sonoma County Airport was part of that effort, but officials said it hasn’t proven to be profitable, which has led to the decision to move its base to Arizona, reduce the amounts of flights it offers from Sonoma and partner with ICE for a better financial outlook. Avelo will continue to fly out of the airport, with stops to Las Vegas...

In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court delivered a victory to the Trump Administration on the deportations under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act of suspected gang members of Tren de Aragua. The Court ruled that U.S. District Judge James Boasberg’s March 15 order temporarily blocking deportation was invalid and that he should never have proceeded in the case. Rather, as some of us previously argued, the Court ruled that this is a habeas case that should be heard in Texas. Chief Justice Roberts joined Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh to support the Administration. Boasberg’s actions have been closely followed...

President Trump is done playing games with illegal immigrants who refuse to leave after receiving deportation orders. The administration announced a bold new plan to impose hefty $998 daily fines on migrants who overstay their deportation orders. It's not stopping there, either; it will also seize property from those who don't pay up. This is exactly the kind of decisive action we need to address our immigration crisis. The fines stem from a 1996 law that Trump first utilized during his first term in 2018. The Biden administration, naturally, had halted this practice when it took office in 2021. But...

MCALLEN, Texas (AP) — Migrants who were temporarily allowed to live in the United States by using a Biden-era online appointment app have been told to leave the country “immediately,” officials said Monday. It was unclear how many beneficiaries would be affected. More than 900,000 people were allowed in the country using the CBP One app since January 2023. They were generally allowed to remain in the United States for two years with authorization to work under a presidential authority called parole. “Canceling these paroles is a promise kept to the American people to secure our borders and protect national...

The Supreme Court on Monday lifted a pair of orders by a federal judge in Washington, D.C., that had barred the government from removing noncitizens who are designated as members of a Venezuelan gang under a March 15 executive order issued by President Donald Trump.… In an unsigned opinion on Monday evening, five of the court’s conservative justices – Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh – indicated that they would “not reach” the plaintiffs’ arguments regarding the application of the AEA to them. Instead, the majority explained, because the relief that...

A horde of a thousand protesters marched to border czar Tom Homan’s residence in New York to demand the release of a mother and her three children who Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested during a search at a dairy farm. The Jefferson County Democratic Committee organized the protest.

A Justice Department attorney who struggled in court on Friday to explain the Trump administration's deportation of a Maryland man to El Salvador has been placed on administrative leave, a department official said. At the hearing, the government attorney, Erez Reuveni, expressed frustration over not having information the judge was seeking in the case of the deported man, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and made clear he had was not getting much help from his superiors.

U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg hinted at possible contempt proceedings as he grilled a government lawyer Thursday about whether the Trump administration violated his court order by failing to turn around planes carrying migrants to a Salvadoran prison. Boasberg made no decisions following a court hearing even as he otherwise pushed the administration to detail its timeline and decision-making as it loaded more than 200 migrants onto a plane amid a court battle to block the deportations. He pushed back when a Justice Department attorney said the administration followed the law and his orders. “It seems to me there’s...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Amador County Sheriff Gary Redman said public safety is his priority, which is why he’s willing to break state law and contact immigration and customs officials if his department encounters someone in the country illegally. “If I get somebody that comes through my jail facility who has committed a heinous crime, who was a threat to our community and is somehow going to get released prior to any type of court proceedings, does not have a conviction. Then my stance is I’m going to work with ICE, contact ICE,” Redman said. “I’m not going to release them...

The Trump administration sent a Venezuelan national with no criminal record to a Salvadoran megaprison based on an administrative error, according to The Miami Herald. Frengel Reyes Mota, 24 years old, was deported to El Salvador earlier this month.... But Reyes Mota’s immigration records contain multiple errors, including marking him as a woman, using a different last name, and filing two ID numbers for him.

President Trump and DOJ officials are justifiably happy with themselves for flying the 261 TDA hoodlums out of the US and down to El Salvador and that super max prison there. But they cannot hope to deport the giant numbers of people they want to get rid of with airplanes. Our biggest airplanes only carry three or four hundred people. Likewise President Trump has expressed a desire to sign major peace treaties with Russia and China and then reduce our military budget by half. One problem: at that point, what to do with our Nimitz and Ford class nuclear powered...

Tufts University PhD student Rumeysa Ozturk was walking alone Tuesday night to meet friends at a dinner where they would break their 13-hour Ramadan fast when six plainclothes officers suddenly encircled her on the street near her apartment in Somerville, Massachusetts, surveillance video shows. The 30-year-old shrieked in fear when an officer in a hooded sweatshirt and hat grabbed her by the wrists as another pulled out a concealed badge on a lanyard and confiscated her cell phone. Soon afterward, the swarm of officers who had surrounded her on the sidewalk pulled cloth coverings over their mouths and noses, some...
