    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...

    Former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro announced the latest criminal indictment and sentences in Washington, D.C., in her first act as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, marking the start of her interim appointment by President Donald Trump. On the same day she was sworn into office, Pirro unveiled on Wednesday evening the punishment for two men who carried out a broad-daylight drive-by shooting near a D.C. elementary school. Rasheed Mullins, 27, and Josiah Warfield, 24, were each sentenced to over seven years in federal prison for their roles in the April 2024 shooting. Mullins received 90 months; Warfield...

    On Monday, a federal judge in the Western District of Washington issued an order setting forth a "compliance framework" for the Trump administration to follow in order to adhere to his previously entered preliminary injunction. That framework will require the administration to begin processing roughly 12,000 refugees by next Monday. It's the latest development in a series of back-and-forth court rulings and moves that have begun to seem a bit like a Ping-Pong match. A federal judge on Monday ordered the Trump administration to immediately resettle some 12,000 refugees into the U.S. under a court order that partially blocks President...

    A federal judge in New York on Tuesday indefinitely blocked the Trump Administration from deporting Tren de Aragua gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. In his order granting a preliminary injunction enjoining the enforcement of the Alien Enemies Act in his district, Judge Hellerstein said illegal aliens have the same due process rights as American citizens. “This nation was founded on the “self-evident” truths “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, [and] that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Declaration of Independence, at ¶ 2...

    Second only to President Donald Trump's historic first 100 days of his second term, from a newsworthy perspective, has been the voracity with which Democrat-nominated federal district judges have attempted — unconstitutionally so — to obstruct this president at every politically driven opportunity.On Thursday, Trump took the first step of his second term to right the federal district court system.In a post on Truth Social, Trump announced his nomination of Whitney Hermandorfer to serve as a judge on the Cincinnati-based Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, which hears cases from Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee.

    In this explosive House Judiciary Committee hearing, Chairman Jim Jordan grills legal experts and witnesses over Judge Boasberg’s controversial role in high-profile Trump cases. From his decisions on FISA warrants to the "turn the plane around" order involving violent criminals, critics argue Judge Boasberg shows clear bias and should recuse himself from upcoming Trump-related cases. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich calls out a "coup" against the American people, slamming illegal actions by government agencies and suggesting Congress must act — through legislation, oversight, and the power of the purse — to restore the rule of law.

    Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) suggested the Supreme Court ruling that a president is immune from prosecution when exercising the core powers of the office could help Judge Hannah Dugan who was charged with obstruction and concealment. Host Martha Raddatz said, “Let’s talk about Wisconsin and what happened in that courtroom. You’re a former prosecutor, would you have brought charges against that judge?” Christie said, “Well, I’ll tell you, Martha, this is one of those situations where everybody, I think, is acting badly. So, first off, you know, I don’t know what this judge was...

    The Texas judge who reduced the $1 million bond for 17-year-old Austin Metcalf’s accused killer was targeted in a doxxing hoax, KDFW reported. The Collin County Sheriff’s Office, in coordination with the FBI, is investigating the alleged doxxing of Collin County Judge Angela Tucker, who agreed to significantly reduce Frisco track meet stabbing suspect 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony’s bond. “Due to the nature of the situation, we are coordinating with the FBI and our Fusion Center to monitor for any concerning rhetoric or propaganda that could incite violence,” the sheriff’s office told KDFW. Doxxing, defined as a form of cyberbullying, involves...

    “This is not normal.” Those words from Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., are undeniably true after the arrest of Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan. However, the reason it is not normal is far more debatable. Dugan is accused of becoming a lawbreaker in seeking to obstruct an effort to arrest a man wanted by federal authorities. If true, that is manifestly not “normal.”As soon as the news of the arrest was reported, Democrats declared another constitutional crisis. Klobuchar added that the arrest “is a drastic move threatening the rule of law” and a “grave step and undermines our system of checks and...

    A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Thursday blocked a portion of President Donald Trump’s executive order on election integrity, specifically provisions related to providing documentary proof of citizenship before being allowed to register to vote. Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia handed down the order in response to lawsuits filed by three separate groups of plaintiffs over five different provisions in a March 25 Trump executive order relating to election integrity. While Kollar-Kotelly dismissed requests to block three of the provisions, requests to block two other provisions pertaining to a proof of...
