  • Trump reshaped the Supreme Court. Now emergency appeals are helping him reshape the government

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Six months into his second term, President Donald Trump has gotten almost everything he has wanted from the Supreme Court that he reshaped during his first. The justices, three of whom were appointed by Trump, have cleared the way for stripping legal protections from more than 1 million immigrants, firing thousands of federal employees, ousting transgender members of the military, removing the heads of independent government agencies and more. The legal victories are noteworthy on their own, but how the president is achieving them is remarkable. Administration lawyers are harnessing emergency appeals, which were used sparingly under...

    Washington — A federal judge on Wednesday barred federal immigration authorities from immediately taking Kilmar Abrego Garcia into custody once he is released from criminal confinement in Tennessee and ordered the Trump administration to provide him 72 hours' notice if it plans to initiate proceedings to remove him to a country that is not his place of origin. The order from U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis was issued as a federal judge in Tennessee, who is presiding over Abrego Garcia's criminal case, ruled that the Salvadoran national should be released from the custody of federal law enforcement under conditions that...

    Antifa militants have begun conducting identity checks outside the ICE facility in Portland, Oregon, in an attempt to safeguard their ongoing 24/7 anti-ICE occupation, which has persisted for more than a month. On Saturday, black bloc militants, who had been concealing their identities behind facial coverings, singled out masked individuals in the crowd and made them take off their masks to reveal their identities. The targeted individuals had either their cell phones or cameras displayed. An Antifa mob surrounded at least one independent videographer, identified as Matt Adams, after getting singled out for being "undercover." As a result, Adams left...
  • Fact check: Is Zohran Mamdani a communist?

    No, Donald Trump’s claim that New York City mayoral candidate’s platform is akin to communism is false, experts say. Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old who soared to the lead in the New York City mayoral Democratic primary, describes himself as a democratic socialist. But some politicians and social media posts falsely labelled him a communist. President Donald Trump called Mamdani “a 100% Communist Lunatic”, in a June 25 Truth Social post.

    Despite some claiming they spent money out of their own pockets, several Democrats spent thousands in campaign funds to visit illegal alien and alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador, according to reporting by the New York Post. Democrats rallied around Abrego Garcia after they claimed he was wrongly deported by the Trump administration to his home country of El Salvador in March. Several Democrats, including representatives Maxwell Frost, D-Fla.; Robert Garcia, D-Calif., Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., Maxine Dexter, D-Ore.; and Glenn Ivey, D-Md., flew to El Salvador to advocate for Abrego Garcia’s return. The New York Post...

    Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin brushed off concerns from Jewish Democrats on Wednesday about New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani’s refusal to condemn the slogan “globalize the intifada.” Martin, elected to lead the DNC in February, suggested that his party welcomes users of the chant associated with violent uprisings against Israel, in an interview with PBS. “You know, there’s no candidate in this party that I agree 100% of the time with, to be honest with you,” Martin said, when asked by “PBS NewsHour” host Amna Nawaz about Mamdani’s repeated defense of the rallying cry for anti-Israel protesters....

    A mob waved foreign flags as it tried to block the enforcement of the nation’s popular laws at a pot-growing farm in rural California. The foreign affiliations of the mobs’ flags were spotlighted by Stephen Miller, top aide to President Donald Trump, and by the chief spokesperson at the Department of Homeland Security. The foreign affiliation is important because it helps Trump unlock the deportation powers granted by the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. Trump has cited the Alien Enemies Act in his immigration enforcement, but Democratic-appointed judges are blocking such actions until the U.S. Supreme Court makes a decision. Lower-court...

    (The Lion) — A well-regarded education watchdog has published a raft of alarming resolutions adopted by the National Education Association at its latest national assembly. They include a measure that encourages resistance of federal immigration enforcement and another that mandates labeling President Donald Trump a fascist in all union materials. Senior Fellow at the American Culture Project Corey DeAngelis obtained a copy of the NEA’s recently passed resolutions and posted them to X. “I just received a copy of the National Education Association’s resolutions that they passed at their annual convention,” said DeAngelis. “They kept them private this year.” It’s...

    SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and President Trump are scheduled to take place on Tuesday in most major cities across the country. The well-organized campaign at “SICKOFICE.ORG” urges people to call out sick in solidarity with illegal aliens facing deportation. Much like the “No Kings” protests held in June to denounce the Trump administration’s efforts to conduct mass deportations of illegal aliens, Tuesday’s protests are being supported by the same activist organizations. The Party for Socialism and Liberation is actively promoting the “Sick of ICE” events nationwide on social media. The website associated with...

    The Department of Justice (DOJ) sued the entire federal district court of Maryland on Tuesday. The lawsuit challenges a standing order issued by the court to automatically block the deportation of any illegal migrant who files a petition for writ of habeas corpus. It names all 15 judges, as well as the court clerk, as defendants. “Defendants’ automatic injunction issues whether or not the alien needs or seeks emergency relief, whether or not the court has jurisdiction over the alien’s claims, and no matter how frivolous the alien’s claims may be,” the lawsuit states. “And it does so in the...

Many condemned U.S. military aid to Israel, supporting its war in Iran and also in Gaza, which has lasted nearly two years.
