“60 Minutes” was aware that the married father of two it profiled on Sunday claimed he was gay on immigration documents in an apparent effort to avoid being deported, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official. The CBS News program was informed of the seemingly fraudulent claims the deported migrant, Moussa Diawara, made about his sexuality on an asylum application a full two weeks before the segment aired, a DHS spokesperson told The Post Tuesday. But the program made no mention of Diawara, who is married to a woman, invoking his alleged homosexuality in the documents from 2012...

A federal judge appointed by former President Joe Biden ordered restrictions Wednesday on the Trump administration’s investigation of suspected noncitizen voting in nine states, citing concerns that agents could target American citizens and intimidate voter outreach groups ahead of the midterm elections. U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín issued a preliminary injunction barring Department of Homeland Security election-related field interviews of people agents know, suspect, or reasonably should suspect are U.S. citizens, as well as field operations targeting such people that rely solely on records from the agency’s voter-matching program. The ruling applies to California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Nevada, New York,...

Tim Mynett, the husband of embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), was spotted Tuesday for the first time since the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) raided their Washington, DC, home – which President Trump suggested the couple shouldn’t be able to afford. Mynett, staring straight down at the sidewalk, was snapped walking the family dog – a yellow labrador retriever named Teddy – back to the home where Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents executed a search warrant and removed belongings early Monday morning. The raid is believed to be part of an ongoing criminal fraud investigation into the Somalia-born congresswoman’s immigration...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following this week's DHS raid on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's home, Democrats warned President Donald Trump that using law enforcement to target political opponents could set a dangerous precedent. Omar, who is reportedly under investigation for immigration fraud, angrily denounced the "lawfare" targeting her and cautioned that Republicans could one day find themselves on the receiving end of similar raids. "This is an incredibly dangerous escalation. Sending law enforcement into the homes of people in the party currently out of power? Republicans are playing with fire," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "Crossing this line threatens the very...

We're living in the best timeline. This morning, Ilhan Omar's home was raided by Homeland Security, because marrying your brother to commit immigration fraud is apparently a "no-no." Boxes of evidence were hauled from Omar's DC home and now we know that the investigation into Omar's citizenship status has an official nickname: World War Eleven The hard-hitting journos at WaPo have brought us absolute gold with this reporting.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has reportedly shot someone in New York. The person shot is alive and in the hospital.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth instructed the Pentagon last week to prioritize and deploy “advanced intelligence and cyber capabilities” to track down, disrupt and neutralize “foreign actors to protect the 2026 midterm elections” while “maintaining the fundamental freedoms that characterize our country.” “Commander U.S. Cyber Command and the Directors of the Combat Support Agencies will prioritize the use of DoW [Department of War] intelligence and cyber capabilities to ensure foreign actors do not meddle in our democratic systems,” Hegseth said in a Sept. 22 memo, which was made public Monday. The Pentagon chief directed the Defense Intelligence Enterprise to execute collection...

"US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is quietly removing some of the recruits it hired during last year’s rapid expansion, raising fresh questions about a hiring campaign that brought thousands of new employees into the agency — and about what happens to the generous incentives offered to attract them. An investigation by The Washington Post found that ICE has begun firing some employees recruited during the push to expand its immigration enforcement workforce. The campaign was launched to provide additional manpower for the Trump administration’s mass-deportation programme. The rapid recruitment drive was backed by unusually large financial incentives. What happens to...

The Biden administration agreed Friday to shut down a panel of “experts” that included multiple signatories of a letter that dismissed a laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden as Russian disinformation. The Department of Homeland Security agreed to “wind down” the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group in 30 days following litigation from America First Legal, according to court documents. The experts in the group included former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who signed an October 2020 letter that claimed a bombshell New York Post report about emails from the laptop supposedly abandoned by Hunter Biden...

The Trump administration violated federal law when the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) slashed the workforce for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a court ruled this week. In a 32-page order on cross motions for summary judgment, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston, a Bill Clinton appointee, found DHS "unlawfully usurped the authority" of FEMA "to make its own personnel decisions" with reductions in force (RIFs) throughout 2025. The original litigation, however, was much broader in scope. In April 2025, several unions led by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) sued over what they termed "the unconstitutional dismantling of...

Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) “married her brother” as part of an alleged fraudulent immigration scheme — and could face deportation. Mullin made the comment to conservative podcaster Benny Johnson, as he discussed the “ongoing” federal investigation into the “Squad” congresswoman, at the GOP midterm convention in Dallas. “We know that she married her brother to try to bring him to the United States,” Mullin said confidently. “We know he lives now in London,” the DHS chief added, referring to Omar’s ex-husband.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — A scheduled two-day Department of Homeland Security Careers Expo has been canceled after Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz intervened. On Thursday, Poloncarz, a Democrat, released a joint statement with convention center CEO Patrick Kaler, in which Poloncarz said in part: "Erie County has a long and proud history of welcoming immigrants and refugees from around the world... The Buffalo Convention Center is a publicly owned community asset, and I do not believe it should be used to support recruitment efforts that are inconsistent with the values we have repeatedly expressed as a welcoming community." Poloncarz also...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is preparing to revoke the business and tourism visas of up to 200,000 foreigners who have applied for or are currently seeking asylum status in the United States. If it happens, the move would be the largest single mass revocation of visas in U.S. history and would likely face legal challenges. Unless challenged or revised, the State Department is expected to announce in the coming weeks the revocation of so-called B1 and B2 visas issued between 2016 and 2026 whose holders have sought asylum or are now seeking asylum, according to State Department documents...

The same court filings say the investigation into the man, David Streever, was closed at the end of June. David Streever takes a selfie while on vacation with his daughter and a character at Moomin World in Finland. He was contacted by Homeland Security Investigations officers five months after sending...

A federal appeals court cleared the way for the Trump administration to deport thousands of illegal aliens. A three-judge panel for the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit on Tuesday lifted a lower court order striking down the administration's deportation directives, which instruct officers to consider expedited removal for certain migrants who came to the US under the Biden-error.
