Immigrants and the children of immigrants are a crucial source of personnel for the U.S. military. Given events in the Middle East, it’s an odd time to go out of the way to alienate them, but that’s what the White House, congressional Republicans and Republican governors and legislators in numerous states seem intent on doing.

A federal appeals court has halted a controversial attempt by a Democrat-aligned district judge to pursue criminal contempt proceedings against several Trump administration officials, delivering a sharp rebuke to the lower court’s actions.
In a brief, unsigned order issued April 14, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit vacated an earlier ruling by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg.
The appeals court ordered the activist judge to terminate the contempt investigation he launched.
The dispute stems from the Trump administration’s deportation of illegal immigrants, identified as suspected gang members, to El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT).
Under the Biden administration, thousands of Ethiopian immigrants in the country were granted the status beginning in 2022. The designation allows immigrants to temporarily live and work in the U.S. without fear of deportation because of armed conflict, environmental disasters or other humanitarian emergencies in their home country. The status was extended in 2024.
The Department of Homeland Security announced in December that Ethiopia “no longer met the conditions” for the TPS designation and the protections would terminate on Feb. 13.

A Wisconsin sheriff filed a defamation lawsuit against a Chicago-area woman who claimed immigration officials detained her for almost two days, both at ICE facilities in Illinois and in the Badger State.
In reality, Sunny Naqvi allegedly was hanging out at a hotel and even going to the spa, according to evidence presented by the law enforcement official.
Dodge County Sheriff Dale Schmidt also released extensive evidence on Friday that debunks claims by Sunny Naqvi, who claimed to be a victim of unlawful ICE detention.
The county sheriff’s office has maintained since the ruse began last month that it never held her in detention, despite her claims. Naqvi’s allegations were also quickly amplified by left-wing politicians in Illinois.

Thomson Reuters, the technology and content conglomerate that owns the Reuters media agency but also owns and operates the investigative CLEAR database, fired a longstanding employee after they spoke out about the company selling data products to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday.
The lawsuit and firing come after more than 200 employees wrote a letter to Thomson Reuters leadership about the company’s contracts with ICE and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
“For nearly two decades, I helped Thomson Reuters build the legal resources that lawyers and law enforcement trust. When I saw evidence that our products were being used to harm people and undermine the law, I did what anyone should do—I raised the alarm. Thomson Reuters’ response was to fire me,” Billie Little, who was a senior attorney editor at Thomson Reuters, said in a statement shared with 404 Media by her attorneys.
Two immigration judge that refused to deport illegal aliens have themselves been fired by the Department of Justice. They were fired along with four other immigration justices, all of whom were probationary justices whose terms were near completion.

Two immigration judges who ruled against the Trump administration in the deportation cases of pro-Palestinian university students have been fired by the Department of Justice.
The New York Times reported over the weekend that the justice department had terminated six judges, including Roopal Patel and Nina Froes, who oversaw deportation proceedings against Rümeysa Öztürk and Mohsen Mahdawi, two students who were arrested last year as part of Trump’s campaign against the Gaza protest movement.
In an interview with the Guardian, Patel said she did not view her dismissal as “directly retaliatory” for any one case. She said it fit within a broader pattern of the administration dismissing judges near the end of their probationary term, particularly those who have experience representing immigrants in court.

The Department of Homeland Security knows of at least 660,000 illegal immigrants in the U.S. with criminal records, including 13,000 convicted killers, nearly 16,000 sex assault convicts and 56,000 involved with dangerous drugs.
Illegal immigrants killed 13,000 Americans in 2024.
The total number of murder cases in the US in 2024 was 20,162.
That’s 64% of all murder cases.
And the Democrats want to abolish ICE.
And all in the name of the Democrats’ desire to win the election
15,000 killers, 20,000 sexual assault convicts, 60,000 robbers among illegal immigrants at large
Thousands of other migrants have been charged but not yet convicted of those and other crimes.
They are part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s “non-detained docket,” a list of more than 7 million illegal immigrants that ICE is supposed to be monitoring as they are awaiting final deportation decisions or, in some cases, are fugitives who are refusing to go. (Washington Times)
13,000 Homicides from illegal immigrants since 2024 WTF‼️🤯
Just when you thought the State of California could not possibly find another way to waste taxpayer funds, lawmakers beat everyone’s expectations.
A proposed California law “would expand access to state-funded legal representation for undocumented immigrants,” according to Newsweek.
Last time I checked, it was not the job of elected officials to fund the legal bills of foreign nationals, especially on the taxpayers’ dime. While I am no legal expert, I am having a hard time seeing how this is legal, but draw your own conclusions.
It is almost like lawmakers took a look at all the fraud and misuse of funds and decided to DOUBLE IT. From over $100 million in hospice fraud to spending $24 billion on homeless initiatives — which made the problem worse — to the $126 billion train to nowhere — to its $114 million butterfly bridge — the state just cannot help itself.
Assembly Bill 2600, proposed by Assemblymember Mia Bonta (D-Oakland), would expand access to publicly funded attorneys for individuals facing immigration proceedings in California.
The U.S. military said Sunday that it blew up two boats accused of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing a total of five people and leaving one survivor, as the Trump administration pursues its campaign against alleged traffickers in Latin America while preparing a naval blockade of Iranian ports.

This time, Biden-appointed Judge Brian Murphy has blocked the DHS from ending temporary protected status (TPS) for Ethiopians.
Here are the details:

A federal court has shut down an attempt by a disgraced former Wisconsin judge to overturn her criminal conviction.
Hannah Dugan, a now former activist judge, attempted to overturn the ruling after she was found guilty of helping an illegal alien evade federal immigration authorities.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, denied motions from Dugan seeking to toss out a jury’s verdict.
A federal judge put a halt Wednesday to Homeland Security’s plan to shut down a deportation amnesty for nearly 5,000 Ethiopian migrants, chastising the government for being too harsh toward them.

El-Sayed campaigned alongside Representative Summer Lee and anti-American streamer Hasan Piker.
At a campaign event on Tuesday at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed promoted a range of far-left beliefs from Representative Summer Lee and anti-American streamer Hasan Piker.
During the rally, Congresswoman Lee told the crowd that the “upper class” is the real “enemy,” urging attendees to recognize divisions stoked by fear.
“I see other people who are fighting like hell to make you feel like your enemy is sitting next to you,” Lee angrily told the crowd. “That your enemy is somebody who worships differently than you are, or looks differently than you are, comes from a different socio-economic status than you, unless they are upper class, then that is your enemy.”
Federal immigration officers from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shot a man on Tuesday morning during a law enforcement action in Stanislaus County, California, authorities said. The shooting occurred during a vehicle stop along Interstate 5 near Sperry Avenue in Patterson.The Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the incident involved ICE agents and that no local law enforcement officers were directly involved in the shooting.
Far-left activists shouted through bullhorns on Easter Sunday as part of their ongoing harassment campaign against a St. Paul, Minnesota, church that allegedly employs an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official as a minister. The Easter Sunday campaign concluded in one arrest, although a judge already threw out the charges.
Anti-ICE protesters have targeted Cities Church in the Twin Cities since January, when a mob, joined by former CNN personality Don Lemon, disrupted the church worship service at the Baptist church. The activists disrupted the service because they alleged an assistant pastor is also a local ICE official who is overseeing efforts to remove violent illegal immigrants from the area.
President Donald Trump had a plan to deport the “worst of the worst,” but that veil has long been lifted from the public’s eyes. And over the weekend, two new reminders emerged showcasing how intensely messy the president’s push to remove immigrants has gotten.
A young soldier preparing for deployment is now worried about the safety of his wife who was detained by ICE soon after they arrived on the military base. Matthew Blank and Annie Ramos—who entered the U.S. with her parents from Honduras at just 22 months old—tied the knot just days before she was detained.
A Democrat politician was arrested during a “No Kings” rally in Spring Hill, Florida Saturday, after he allegedly attacked a disabled counter protester with his megaphone.
Over 500 leftist groups, including openly communist organizations, reportedly helped coordinate the more than 3,200 “No Kings” demonstrations in all 50 states over the weekend.
The American political left as a cultural formation, and the Democratic Party as an institution, have sunk into a style of oppositionalism that contains no opposition. They speak in a vernacular of protest because they speak in a vernacular of protest, out of habit and as a cultural identity, but they have no idea what they’re protesting. They’re very angry about the, you know, stuff. Something something Trump something something.
At three o’clock, the nurse brings pudding. Comfortable and wealthy people, many decades into their experience of affluence and safety, are putting their bodies on the line to oppose fascism for a couple hours before the driver takes them back to their mansions.
Professors were among the throngs on Saturday taking part in the No Kings demonstrations held across the nation to protest the Trump administration.
It is estimated that millions of people took part in the rallies that peppered the country, with some likening the movement to the conservative Tea Party protests in 2009.
Various reports estimated 3,000 different protests took place in larger cities and smaller communities, drawing people from all walks of life, including scholars.
“Our courageous men and women face death threats, just like this, every day. Individuals making the threats will be held accountable.”
A left-wing agitator vandalized a federal building in Los Angeles on Saturday, spray-painting the words “kill your local ICE agent” during the “No Kings” protest.
Thousands of individuals marched throughout downtown Los Angeles in opposition to the Trump administration, with many specifically protesting immigration enforcement policies. Video shared by Fox News showed a masked individual using red spray paint to write the message on the wall, along with two bullseye symbols.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement shared the video on X, writing in response, “If you threaten ICE, or their families, you WILL face the full force of federal law.”
“Our courageous men and women face death threats, just like this, every day. Individuals making the threats will be held accountable,” the agency added.
The Los Angeles No Kings protest escalated into extreme violence, as masked thugs clad with foreign flags attempted to break into a facility housing federal immigration agents and began launching concrete blocks towards officers working to control the crowd. Independent reporters Julio Rosas and Jorge Venture managed to capture the carnage.
RedState’s Nick Arama has been reporting Saturday on the bizarrely named “No Kings” protests occurring in cities across the United States. Not surprisingly, things got violent in downtown LA, because they seem to have a way of doing that in the far-left city, and meanwhile, ageing celebrities showed up in Minnesota to rage about almost anything they could think of.
No Kings Day has come around once again, and it is just as cringe as last year. Of course, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone younger than the age of 60 wasting their time away at these things, and they really haven’t done much updating to their schticks as we’re still looking at the Handmaid’s Tale garbage in 2026. Anyway, here is some of the best (or worst) of what we have seen from No Kings 2026.
The creator of children’s YouTube content has a new cause: shutting down an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility that houses families while the parents undergo proceedings.
“I am political,” Rachel Accurso, also known as “Ms. Rachel,” told NBC News. She is on a mission to close the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, which provides food and shelter for the children of illegal immigrant parents during their judicial proceedings.
“It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love and care, and that every child is equal, and that our care shouldn’t stop at wh
What happens with a secure border?
A new report from the U.S. Census Bureau describes a remarkable set of changes happening in the United States. Population growth is slowing or reversing toward decline in many metropolitan areas, and population losses are accelerating in some counties that were already shrinking.
Several things are happening behind those changes, but here’s what the Census Bureau identifies as the biggest cause:
“These shifts were largely due to lower levels of net international migration (NIM), which declined nationwide. Nine out of 10 U.S. counties experienced lower NIM levels between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025, compared to the year prior. The one in 10 counties that did not see a drop in international migration did not see an increase either.”

“One woman became so sick from eating the food that she began vomiting blood.”
“My kids are terrified; we are all depressed.”
“I always ask my children for forgiveness for making them suffer through all of this.”
Though the number of families inside Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas has dropped dramatically in recent months, for dozens of children still inside, such brutal conditions remain. Now, at the risk of their stories fading to the background of the Trump administration’s cascading crises, Ms. Rachel, the beloved children’s educator, is calling on the public to fight for their release.
“We have to hold on to hope for families who are locked in Dilley and keep going,” Ms. Rachel, whose real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, told Mother Jones. “I do believe the public outcries and the people who have come together and worked on this long before I have are making a huge difference.”
