The Trump DOJ on Tuesday asked the US Supreme Court to intervene in and pause a lower court’s order to ground a plane that transported several dangerous aliens to South Sudan. “The invasion of illegal aliens must end, and the conduct of our nation’s foreign policy cannot be directed by a single federal court judge,” US Attorney General Pam Bondi said. “DOJ has asked the Supreme Court to intervene to stop this insanity so that President Trump can continue to deport the worst of the worst illegal aliens,” Bondi said. US District Judge Brian Murphy, a Biden appointee on Monday...

US District Judge Brian Murphy, a Biden appointee on Monday denied a Trump DOJ motion for reconsideration related to the criminal aliens deported to South Sudan. The Boston-based judge blamed the Trump Administration for the chaos he caused with his court order grounding the plane. .... Snip.... The judge’s order is putting ICE agents in danger. “A local judge in Boston ordered the flight grounded and has now trapped ICE officers in Djibouti with these savage monsters! Having to guard and protect them 24-7 in a location with no appropriate facilities! No detention space! No detention beds! Nothing! Putting their...

The House Republicans’ tax and spending package is set to infuse the Trump administration with a monumental funding hike for immigration enforcement, aiming to dramatically ramp up the scale and pace of the president’s mass deportation agenda. The bill, which the House approved on a party-line vote Thursday, would allocate more than $150 billion in additional funding over five years to Trump’s border and immigration agenda. That includes more than $51 billion to construct and upgrade border barriers and facilities and $59 billion for immigration detention and transportation. Most of the funding would be allocated to the Department of Homeland...

The Trump administration “unquestionably” violated a court order when it put eight migrants with violent criminal convictions onto a flight to South Sudan, a Biden-nominated federal judge ruled Wednesday. US District Judge Brian Murphy, who was nominated to the seat by former President Joe Biden in 2024, slammed the White House for failing to provide the men with adequate due process when ordering them on a flight bound to the African nation, of which only one of them is actually from. “The department actions in this case are unquestionably in violation of this court’s order,” the judge said in an...

A federal judge in Boston, Massachusetts, appointed by former President Joe Biden, is objecting to President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) deporting several illegal aliens, all with final deportation orders, convicted of murder, rape, child sex crimes, and robbery. This week, DHS announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents deported eight illegal aliens from Mexico, Cuba, Laos, Burma, and Vietnam to South Sudan because their home countries would not accept them. The illegal aliens deported include five convicted murderers, one convicted robber, one convicted child sex predator, and one convicted rapist. Several of the illegal aliens were...

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was involved in yet another heated exchange on Capitol Hill Wednesday as the department readies its budget proposals for the fiscal year 2026. This time, Rubio sparred with Rep. Pramilia Jayapal (D-WA) over the administration’s immigration policies, particularly the revocation of student visas for individuals who demonstrate animus towards the United States and its people. Jayapal — who enthusiastically supported former President Joe Biden’s de facto open border policies that saw more than seven million illegal aliens flood the United States — took issue with the Trump Administration’s decision to resettle a small number...

Acting Columbia University President Claire Shipman on Wednesday bizarrely chose to stoke the flames by acknowledging arrested ex-grad student Mahmoud Khalil at the Ivy League school’s chaotic graduation. Hordes of graduating students in the riled-up audience began chanting Khalil’s name and nearly booed Shipman off the stage throughout her remarks at the embattled university’s commencement. “We firmly believe that our international students have the same rights to freedom of speech as everyone else, and they should not be targeted by the government for exercising their right,” Shipman told the crowd of nearly 37,000. “I know many in our community are...

Hugo Monteiro, who became a U.S. citizen in 2020 after moving here legally from Brazil, was at the Cambridge District Court in Medford, Massachusetts, when ICE agents approached him, threw him in handcuffs, and shuffled him into a waiting SUV. Hugo said: I just came here to bring a client for a hearing. And when I came out, they took me, but again, I was not expecting this at all. I'm still shaking. They were threatening me. But again, I was calm because I knew I didn't do anything wrong. They were just, like, telling me I was under arrest,...

On Friday afternoon, the Supreme Court remanded A.A.R.P. v. Trump to the Fifth Circuit with very precise instructions. [snip] Last Friday, the Supreme Court vacated the judgment of our court, which had dismissed this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The Court remanded the case back to us for further proceedings, and directed us to proceed "expeditiously." A.A.R.P. v. Trump, 605 U.S. _, _ (2025). Accordingly, this matter is expedited to the next available randomly designated regular oral argument panel. Judge Ho wrote an seven-page concurrence.

US District Court Judge Edward Chen, an Obama appointee, said to hell with the Supreme Court and still ordered the Trump DOJ to turn over documents related to its decision to revoke protected status for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan migrants. Judge Chen said the Supreme Court’s ruling today is not a factor and insisted on a deadline tonight for the Trump DOJ to turn over the documents. The US Supreme Court on Monday lifted a lower court’s block on President Trump’s order to revoke ‘protected status’ for hundreds of thousands of migrants living in the US. The high court...

To belabor the Tim Walz U-M law school graduation speech, the descriptions and headlines of his rant don’t do it justice. Here’s what he said to the graduates,Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets, they are in unmarked vans, wearing masks, being shipped off to foreign torture dungeons, no chance to mount a defense, not even the chance to kiss a loved-one goodbye, just grabbed up by masked agents, shoved into those vans, and disappeared. To be clear, there’s no way for us to know whether they were actually criminals or not, because they refuse to...

U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis excoriated Trump administration lawyers Friday in a remarkable status hearing centered on Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Salvadorian migrant and alleged MS-13 member who was deported from Maryland to El Salvador in March in what administration officials have acknowledged was an administrative error. The heated back-and-forth was full of eye-popping exchanges between the judge and the Justice Department, as she took umbrage with their attempts to invoke the state secrets privilege to shield details concerning Abrego Garcia from the court. "What world are we living in," Xinis asked in disbelief after more than two hours...

Breaking- The Supreme Court ruled against the Trump administration, blocking them from deporting a group of Venezuelan illegal alien gang members in Texas under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act

In a startling coincidence, murder rates have plummeted in Denver and Aurora, Colorado, in the first quarter of 2025. I'm sure that correlation doesn't equal causation here, but some bigots who clearly hate brown people have made the insane suggestion that deporting gang members who terrorized residents in these cities might have had something to do with it. Homicides Drop Sharply in Colorado Cities Following ICE Deportations of Tren de Aragua Gang Members https://t.co/8AouPWDQQQ— Sara A. Carter (@SaraCarterDC) May 15, 2025Surely deporting these future doctors, lawyers, and people destined to cure cancer must have nothing to do with this. Right?📉...

Keir Starmer said the UK is in talks to send failed asylum seekers to "return hubs" in other countries. During a major press conference in Albania, the Prime Minister announced plans to step up efforts to break the crime web fuelling illegal migration across the Western Balkans. He confirmed discussions were ongoing about sending people who have been through the UK asylum system to be processed elsewhere. It could mean asylum seekers are deported to have their claims processed if their bid to stay in the UK is unsuccessful. The Prime Minister said the talks were happening with "a number...

Migrant fugitives lead police on a series of wild chases that end with justice being served, but while this is happening, activists in sanctuary cities are doing everything they can to keep criminals inside America for as long as possible. Journalistic report, includes news footage and commentary.

A federal judge in Pennsylvania on Tuesday became the first to say President Trump can invoke the Alien Enemies Act to deport Tren de Aragua gang members. US District Judge Stephanie Haines, a Trump appointee, said President Trump’s description of the Venezuelan gang’s “incursion” into the US meets the threshold to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. “Having done its job, the Court now leaves it to the Political Branches of the government, and ultimately to the people who elect those individuals, to decide whether the laws and those executing them continue to reflect their will,” the judge wrote. The judge...

Charges have been dropped against a 19-year-old college student who was arrested during a traffic stop in Dalton earlier this month—a case that has drawn national attention and sparked outrage among immigration advocates and members of the community. The City of Dalton confirmed Monday that all charges against 19-year-old Ximena Arias-Cristobal were dismissed after a review of police dash-cam video showed she was not the driver who committed the traffic violation that led to her arrest on May 5. Arias-Cristobal had been cited for making an improper turn and driving without a valid license. However, Dalton police now say she...
