Free Republic

Yes, they failed on birthright citizenship, but this is still a major win. The Supreme Court has delivered a stunning victory for American sovereignty that every Donald J. Trump voter should cheer. In its bold 6-3 Mullin v. Doe ruling on June 25, the Republican-appointed justices allowed Trump’s administration to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti and Syria. Far more importantly, they slammed the door on endless judicial sabotage of immigration law enforcement. This is not some narrow tweak. The decision broadly shields the entire TPS program from most court meddling, granting the executive branch sweeping authority over designations,...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Democrats have reacted with outrage and fury that President Trump could force Haitians to leave the evil, racist country known as the United States. In the wake of the Supreme Court ruling that ends temporary deportation protection for many Haitians, Senator Chuck Schumer lambasted Trump for planning to force thousands of migrants out of the horrible U.S. and back to the peaceful, wonderful country of Haiti. "Trump would send these people back to the paradise known as Haiti, and we won't stand for it," said Schumer. "This radical, Trump-owned Supreme Court has just made way for the...

Wealthy nations with the highest rate of immigration over the past 35 years reaped a large economic benefit and many could still absorb more ​workers, according to research to be presented at a top European Central Bank conference next week. Political tensions ‌over immigration have been on the rise in recent years as far-right, anti-immigrant parties have helped drive the issue to near the top of the political agenda while making headway in countries including the U.S., Germany and Britain. The study, which looked at data in dozens of rich ​countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, said...

The left wing has worked hard to find very clever ways to stop President Trump’s agenda without ever winning an election. The formula was sinister and simple. Trump announces a new immigration policy. That cues progressive activist groups to race to court and file a lawsuit. A friendly federal activist judge somewhere in California, Hawaii, or D.C. slaps an injunction on the policy, and just like that, everything grinds to a screeching halt. The left is hoping that months drag on and turn into years, letting the lawsuits pile up, and hopefully the policy dies a slow, lonely death before...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani promised to never accept the US Supreme Court’s ruling allowing President Trump’s administration to strip deportation protection for Haitian and Syrian migrants. “To have people who frankly taught the world about freedom have their own freedom put into jeopardy by the actions of a Supreme Court and federal administration — it is not only cruel, it’s not something we will ever accept,” Hizzoner said in a video statement after Thursday’s bombshell 6-3 ruling. The high court ruled that the “temporary protected status” statutes don’t allow for judicial review and that lower courts can’t intervene in the Trump...

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration in two key immigration cases on Thursday, drawing strong opposition from blue state Democrats and prompting a prominent House Republican to break ranks over concerns of a looming healthcare "crisis." In a 6-3 decision in Mullin v. Doe, the high court ruled that Haitian and Syrian nationals with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) cannot turn to federal courts to postpone the revocation of their legal status while challenging the Trump administration's policies. In a separate ruling, the court also held that migrants turned away at the southern border before entering...

This video, hosted by Tim Pool, discusses two major Supreme Court rulings that represent significant wins for the Trump administration regarding immigration policy. Key Rulings: Asylum Claims (0:14 - 14:29): The Supreme Court ruled in Mullen v. Loatto that migrants who are not physically on U.S. soil—specifically those blocked at a port of entry (a practice known as 'metering')—do not have a legal right to claim asylum. The court majority, led by Justice Samuel Alito, reasoned that a person has not 'arrived' in the U.S. until they have crossed the border. Temporary Protected Status (TPS) (1:28 - 18:12): The Court...

In the fourth and final decision issued today, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Mullin v. Doe, a case concerning whether the Administration may terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations. In a majority opinion authored by Justice Samuel Alito, the Court held that the challengers—TPS beneficiaries from Syria and Haiti—were not entitled to interim relief blocking the termination of their TPS designations. The Court concluded that the TPS statute limits judicial review of non-constitutional claims and prevents courts from second-guessing the agency’s TPS termination decisions on those grounds. Justice Thomas filed a concurring opinion. Justice Kagan filed a dissenting opinion,...

The US fired nearly 50 Tomahawk missiles at the country on Wednesday night. Iranian state media has reported that explosions were heard around Minab and Sirik in the southern part of the country, near the Strait of Hormuz. Air defense systems in Asaluyah were also activated - though no attacks have occurred thus far in the key energy hub that houses refineries and petrochemical complexes, CNN reports. As the strikes then continued, Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya military command headquarters warned that the Strait of Hormuz would be closed to all marine traffic - and all ships seen passing through the waterway...

President Donald Trump told the media on Wednesday, “I love the inflation” report that came out earlier in the morning, showing inflation had risen above 4% for the first time in three years. “Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number, which came out this morning? Could that be a–” a reporter asked Trump during an Oval Office Q&A. Trump cut in and answered, “No, I love it. The numbers were great. You know what I really love? I love the inflation.” “You know why? Because as soon as this war is over, you know, I can say...

Retired four-star Gen. Jack Keane said enough with the diplomatic charade — Iran is stalling for time and the best solution is to resume full-scale war. The chairman of the Institute for the Study of War and former Army vice chief of staff on Friday blasted eight weeks of fruitless talks as a waste while the mullahs play games. “We have to accept the reality that’s just not going to happen,” Keane said on Fox News. “They have one motive: Stretch out negotiations as much as possible, get as close to the political situation in terms of midterm elections, and...

US President Donald Trump tells reporters that Washington does not need a deal with Iran to get enriched uranium from the country. “We could get it right now. I don’t think they could stop us if we wanted, but there’s no reason to.

The oil industry is warning the Trump administration that a Hormuz-sized hole in the world’s petroleum market is steadily draining inventories to levels that are likely to send global energy prices surging in the next several weeks, according to four executives. Industry executives have flagged the issue to senior White House officials and Cabinet members in recent weeks as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing dialogue with the U.S. energy industry, the people said. The warnings came as recently as late last month as data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration and other sources began showing that fuel makers were...
