900,000 immigrants who were here LEGALLY are going to disappear overnight? Do you believe in magic?
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has ordered migrants who entered the U.S. via the CBP One app to leave “immediately.”
The Biden-era CBP One app—through which more than 900,000 people were allowed temporary entry beginning in January 2023—was used to schedule appointments at ports of entry and helped migrants live and work under parole in the U.S. for two years.
Just days after Duke’s Final Four exit, freshman center Khaman Maluach is facing a much greater challenge than any basketball game.
A new policy from U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio threatens to revoke visas held by South Sudanese passport holders — placing the 18-year-old Blue Devil at risk of deportation despite completing a full season as a student-athlete.
It’s a stunning turn for a young man who has already fled war, rebuilt his life in exile, and became one of the most remarkable success stories in international basketball.
A federal appeals court has rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to oust members of two independent federal labor agencies in a pair of back-and-forth cases that will likely set the stage for a showdown at the U.S. Supreme Court and have a profound impact on President Donald Trump’s continued effort to slash the federal workforce.
In a 7-4 vote, the full panel of judges on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia blocked the president from removing Cathy A. Harris from the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) and Gwynne Wilcox from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), reasoning that they were improperly dismissed without cause.
“The government has not demonstrated the requisite ‘strong showing that [it] is likely [to] succeed on the merits’ of these two appeals,” the panel wrote in a three-page per curiam order. “The government likewise has not shown a strong likelihood of success on the merits of its claim that there is no available remedy for Harris or Wilcox, or that allowing the district court’s injunctions to remain in place pending appeal is impermissible.”
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins claims that turning trees into timber will help prevent wildfires, though experts have deemed it a harmful and inefficient method
Following an executive order from President Donald Trump aimed at increasing U.S. timber production, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins has announced plans to remove environmental protections that will allow logging on millions of acres of national forest land.
More than 50% of the United States’ formerly protected national forests are now on-limits for the logging industry.
Over the weekend, a Justice Department attorney was put on administrative leave after acknowledging in court that he’d never been given a “satisfactory” answer for why the U.S. government couldn’t return a wrongfully deported immigrant from Venezuela who had been residing in Maryland. Now, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals is scolding the DOJ’s behavior in a new ruling.
In a unanimous decision on Monday, the court denied President Donald Trump’s administration’s efforts to resist returning Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States by midnight on Monday, wrote Politico legal reporter Kyle Cheney on X.
J. Harvie Wilkinson III, an appointee of former President Ronald Reagan, was particularly scathing in his reaction to government claims that it could not possibly bring Garcia back to the United States despite acknowledging his wrongful deportation.
“The government rightfully concedes that it was an ‘error’ and a ‘mistake’ to ignore this process,” Wilkinson wrote. “And, if it is truly a mistake, one would also expect the government to do what it can to rectify it. Most of us attempt to undo, to the extent that we can, the mistakes that we have made. But, to the best of my knowledge, the government has not made the attempt here. The facts of this case thus present the potential for a disturbing loophole: namely that the government could whisk individuals to foreign prisons in violation of court orders and then contend, invoking its Article II powers, that it is no longer their custodian, and there is nothing that can be done. It takes no small amount of imagination to understand that this is a path of perfect lawlessness, one that courts cannot condone.”
Good riddance!
Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, who led a widely derided review of the 2020 presidential election, searching for evidence for baseless accusations of fraud, will have his law license suspended for three years, according to a stipulated agreement between him and the state Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR).
Awwww, the poor babies who should still be in prison are distraught:
“The anger and depression is hitting hard today,” Richard Barnett, a self-described white nationalist who was sentenced to 54 months in prison for raiding the Capitol on Jan. 6, wrote on X on Monday. Barnett, who was among some 1,500s rioters pardoned by Trump, complained that Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino “stabbed us in the back” and “actually promoted one of our tormenters, Steve Jensen, into a position of great power within the FBI.”
Sending out armed thugs to intimidate a former employee at his home to remain mum! 🙁
The U.S. Justice Department sent armed U.S. Marshals to deliver a letter warning a fired career pardon attorney about testifying to congressional Democrats, her lawyer said in a letter seen by Reuters on Monday.
“This highly unusual step of directing armed law enforcement officers to the home of a former Department of Justice employee who has engaged in no misconduct, let alone criminal conduct, simply to deliver a letter, is both unprecedented and completely inappropriate,” Michael Bromwich, a lawyer representing fired pardon attorney Liz Oyer, wrote to the Justice Department.’
…
Oyer has since told various media outlets that her firing came shortly after she declined to recommend restoring gun rights to actor Mel Gibson, a supporter of President Donald Trump.
This is simply insane!
The United States said on Tuesday that 104% duties on imports from China will take effect shortly after midnight, even as the Trump administration moved to quickly start talks with other trading partners targeted by President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariff plan.
U.S. stocks retreated on the news….

Bond traders will be trying to gauge who blinks first, will it be the Fed or President Trump? If both stick to their current stance every Treasury auction is a landmine which investors will fear stepping in to.
Yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury have tumbled about 40 basis points this year, briefly pushed below 4% Monday by President Donald Trump’s barrage of tariffs that economists say raise the risk of a recession.
In contrast, comparable rates in both Europe and Japan have gone up. In Germany, the 10-year bund at 2.61% reflects the prospect of a flood of bond issuance as the government ramps up defense spending. Meanwhile, the rate on 10-year Japanese bonds has soared after spending years around zero and is now around 1.25% as investors brace for tighter monetary policy there.
While both are still well below Treasury yields, they’re at levels that makes them look more attractive than Treasuries to European and Japanese investors who hedge their dollar exposure when buying US securities. That might entice investors to shift allocations to their home markets, where the policy outlook appears more stable.
