WASHINGTON – In an exclusive interview, Mexican Ambassador to the U.S. Carlos M. Sada said the Mexican government would take back Mexicans who are deported from the United States but emphasized that the Mexican government would refuse to reimburse the U.S. for the construction of a border wall. In his first televised interview as president last month, President Trump told ABC that immediate construction of the border wall would first be funded by taxpayers “and we will be, in a form, reimbursed by Mexico.” “I'm just telling you there will be a payment,” Trump said, vowing “100 percent” reimbursement from...

Even if President Trump can’t convince the courts to approve his extreme vetting executive order, he may have another tool at his disposal that would allow him to strip visas from some of the seven countries he’s trying to target, crackdown supporters say. A federal law says the government can stop issuing visas to countries that are deemed “uncooperative” because they refuse to take back their citizens when the U.S. tries to deport them.

Ten years have passed since the end of the 39-day IDF siege of the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem, where 39 terrorists had holed up.

The auto thief was one of 14 illegal immigrants police detained this week in a three-day sweep targeting people whom officers have had contact...

LOS ANGELES -- U.S. immigration officials have told their agents not to sedate deportees without a court order, according to a memo obtained Friday by The Associated Press. The change in policy was announced internally Wednesday and came after a federal lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union. The change is effective immediately, according to the memo. "Field officers may no longer request a medical escort ... in order to administer involuntary sedation to facilitate an alien's removal unless the government has obtained an order authorizing sedation from a federal district court," wrote John Torres, detention and removal director of...
