The Daily Caller’s Reagan Reese posted on X that President Donald Trump’s administration will pause $210 million in federal funding to Princeton:

The funds are being paused while the admin investigates antisemitism on campus. The decision is not the culmination of the investigation, an official shares.

“Princeton has perpetuated racist and anti-semitic policies,” an admin official told the Caller.

The investigation opened dates back to Biden. Biden’s Department of Education opened an investigation in 2024 following a Civil Rights complaint from Zachary Marschall, the editor-in-chief of the conservative website Campus Reform.

Marschall alleges in his complaint that the university failed to respond to campus anti-Semitism. The complaint alleges that at an Oct. 25, 2023, walkout in which students supported Palestine, they chanted “Brick by brick, wall by wall, apartheid has got to fall.”

On Friday, radical far-left Judge Amy Berman Jackson blocked the dismantling of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, once again overstepping her authority.

She’s one of the many rogue judges working to strip power from the executive branch.

Berman Jackson, like many of her Obama-appointed peers, has used her position as a District Court Judge to relentlessly target and harass Republicans and Trump supporters.

In February, after the Trump administration gutted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Berman Jackson stepped in to halt the mass firings.

She also ordered the defendants to preserve all data and records.

Excerpt:

A federal judge in Massachusetts on Friday blocked the deportation of a Tufts University graduate student who was recently taken into custody by federal authorities.

U.S. District Judge Denise Casper ruled that Rumeysa Ozturk, a 30-year-old doctoral student from Turkey, cannot be deported while Casper determines whether the court has jurisdiction over the case.

The Trump administration has been given until April 1 to respond to an amended petition and complaint filed by Ozturk’s lawyers, according to the two-page ruling.

“To allow the Court’s resolution of its jurisdiction to decide the Petition, Ozturk shall not be removed from the United States until further Order of this Court,” the judge stated.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has accused Ozturk of “engaging in activities in support of Hamas,” a U.S.-designated Palestinian terrorist group that launched the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel.

In her ruling, Casper cited the case of Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian graduate at Columbia University who was arrested and had his green card revoked earlier this month for allegedly leading activities aligned with Hamas. Khalil served as a lead negotiator for students during talks with university administrators over last spring’s pro-Palestinian protests on campus against Israel’s military response to the terrorist attack.

Excerpt:

Radical leftists across the nation have been vandalizing Teslas and torching dealerships, all fueled by their irrational hatred of Elon Musk. However, in a surprising turn, one of these unhinged individuals actually made it easier for law enforcement this week.

As NBC 10 Philadelphia reported, an unidentified male was caught on tape vandalizing a Tesla in the parking lot of a Planet Fitness in Doylestown Borough on Monday.

The Bucks County Courier Times reported the man responsible for the vandalism is 55-year-old Chadd Ritenbaug of Doylestown Township.

The Central Bucks Regional Police Department reported that the suspect was captured on the car’s cameras parking next to the Tesla and exiting his silver Lexus. The video then shows him squatting behind the vehicle and carving a swastika into the Tesla just before 9:30 a.m.

But instead of fleeing, Ritenbaugh made another incredibly foolish move—one that would come back to haunt him.

After vandalizing the Tesla, Ritenbaugh walked into Planet Fitness, scanned his membership card at the front desk, and proceeded to work out as if nothing had happened.

Ritenbaugh’s decision allowed police to identify him through his gym membership card and Pennsylvania driver’s license photo.

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump has made no secret of his intention to deport foreign nationals who support or promote terrorist organizations or otherwise engage in illegal activity.

Not surprisingly, however, the Trump administration has encountered obstacles erected by Democrat-aligned activist federal district court judges who are increasingly asserting a controversial degree of authority over the executive branch.

This was evidenced by a ruling preventing the deportation of a Tufts University graduate student, as Fox News reports.

At issue late last week was the case of Rumeysa Ozturk, 30, an international student from Turkey living in Somerville, Massachusetts, who was detained by federal authorities near her off-campus apartment.

A representative from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) asserted that Ozturk has been “engaged in activities in support of Hamas.”

According to Fox News, she co-authored an op-ed piece last year in the Tufts Daily blasting the school’s stance on Israel’s actions in Gaza.

Ozturk and her co-authors demanded that Tufts “acknowledge the Palestinian genocide” and adjust its financial affairs based on other entities’ ties to the Jewish state.

After her arrest, Ozturk was taken to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center, presumably in preparation for eventual deportation, a move her attorneys said was improper due to her status as an F-1 visa holder with no pending criminal charges.

U.S. District Judge Denise Casper halted any deportation plans, saying:

“To allow the Court’s resolution of its jurisdiction to decide the petition, Ozturk shall not be removed from the United States until further order of this court.”

Excerpt:

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from dismantling Voice of America (VOA), the government-funded international news service whose 1,200 reporters and employees were placed on paid leave earlier this month.

The judge, J. Paul Oetken of the Southern District of New York, on Friday issued a temporary restraining order in favor of VOA employees and their unions. The order prevents the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which oversees VOA, from shutting down the broadcasting network and its associated radio programs.

VOA employees filed the lawsuit against USAGM, its acting Director Victor Morales, and special adviser Kari Lake on March 21. The complaint accused the agency of failing to fulfill its legally mandated missions and violating both press freedom and the separation-of-powers doctrine when it took a “chainsaw” to the outlet, ordering the entire staff not to report to work, turning off the service, and locking the agency’s doors.

In his ruling, Oetken stated that VOA was likely to succeed on its claims, noting that USAGM’s actions appeared unconstitutional. He said that Lake lacked legal authority to withhold congressionally appropriated funds or terminate USAGM staff, programming, or contracts.

“By withholding the funds statutorily appropriated to fully administer USAGM, VOA, and its affiliates … the executive is usurping Congress’s power of the purse and its legislative supremacy,” he wrote.

The mega law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP has made peace with President Trump before it was targeted by an executive order.

“Over the past few days, we learned that the Trump Administration intended to issue an executive order directed at Skadden,” London wrote. “We believed it would focus on DEI initiatives and our pro bono activities.”

“With that in mind, we chose to engage proactively and constructively with the Administration to align on a productive path forward without the issuance of an executive order,” he wrote. “We entered into the agreement the President announced today because, when faced with the alternatives, it became clear that it was the best path to protect our clients, our people and our Firm.”

“Not everyone will agree with the decision we made today, and I have great respect for the different views that make us stronger as a Firm,” he wrote. “But I firmly believe that an agreement centered around our pro bono work and complying with the law was an acceptable outcome to ensure Skadden will continue to thrive long into the future. This agreement does not change who we are.”

 

In a post on Truth Social, President Trump revealed the terms of the agreement.

Today, President Donald J. Trump and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP announce the following agreement regarding a series of actions to be taken by Skadden:

1. Skadden will provide a total of at least $100 Million Dollars in pro bono Legal Services, during the Trump Administration and beyond, to causes that the President and Skadden both support, in relation to the following areas: Assisting Veterans and other Public Servants, including members of the Military, Law Enforcement, First Responders, and Federal, State, and Local Government Officials; ensuring fairness in our Justice System; and combatting Antisemitism. Skadden will change its pro bono policy so that all pro bono moving forward will be done in the Firm name. A pro bono Committee will be constituted to ensure that pro bono matters are consistent with the objectives of the program, and that pro bono activities represent the full political spectrum.

2. The Skadden Foundation will commit to the mission of providing pro bono Legal Services to a wide variety of deserving organizations and individuals. Skadden is committed to funding no fewer than five Skadden Fellows each year dedicated to the following projects: Assisting Veterans; ensuring fairness in our Justice System; combatting Antisemitism, and other similar types of projects. Law Graduates that receive Skadden Fellowships will represent a wide range of political views, including conservative ideals.

3. Skadden affirms its commitment to merit-based hiring, promotion, and retention. Accordingly, the Firm will not engage in illegal DEI discrimination and preferences. Skadden will engage independent outside counsel to advise the Firm to ensure employment practices are fully compliant with Law, including, but not limited to, anti-discrimination Laws.

4. Skadden will not deny representation to clients, such as members of politically disenfranchised groups, who have not historically received legal representation from major National Law Firms, including in pro bono matters, and in support of non-profits, because of the personal political views of individual lawyers.

Statement From the White House: “Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP approached President Trump and his Administration, and declared the Firm’s strong commitment to ending the Weaponization of the Justice System and the Legal Profession. The President will never stop fighting to deliver on his promises of eradicating partisan Lawfare in America, and restoring Liberty & Justice for ALL.”

Statement From Skadden Executive Partner, Jeremy London: “Skadden is pleased to have achieved a successful agreement with President Trump and his Administration. We engaged proactively with the President and his team in working together constructively to reach this agreement. The Firm looks forward to continuing our productive relationship with President Trump and his Admin. We firmly believe that this outcome is in the best interests of our clients, our people, and our Firm.”

Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow said on this week’s broadcast of FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that it was a “national disgrace” that Democratic-tied judges are attempting to block President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Discussing Federal Judge James Boasberg, host Maria Bartiromo said, “So this judge has gotten four cases against the White House., coincidence?

Marlow said, “Of course not. It’s not a coincidence, Maria, what’s going on is judge shopping. This is a practice that’s been in play since 1988 when Congress changed laws so that you don’t have to have any connection to the jurisdiction where you’re filing cases. The Democrats have figured this out, their lawfare machine which is very well funded, very well organized, and they’re targeting specific judges to try to have a judicial coup against the President of the United States.”

He added, “It is now the point now where Donald Trump, if he wants an executive action, he needs unanimous consent from 700 odd judges essentially. This is tyranny, but unfortunately there’s no quick way to stop it. We need to change these rules right away. They’re targeting these judges and it’s blocking just about every element of the agenda from what DOGE is doing to DEI to rolling back some of the trans stuff to deregulation to trying to deport illegally child molesters. They can’t do any of it unless all these judges sign on to it which they’re not. They’re Democratic-tied. You all know what’s going on. This is truly a national disgrace.”

Judicial Tyrants Continue Assault on American Republic

The scores of injunctions against Donald Trump leveled by far-left activist low-level district court judges is pushing this country towards the final Rubicon, where citizens will have to decide whether to continue to accept the tyranny from DNC-colluding judges or finally stand up for America. The rulings just in the last two weeks are numerous, with only a few silver linings mixed within them.

Excerpt:

From the moment President Trump took office, his administration has faced relentless judicial obstruction from liberal activist judges determined to destroy, or at the very least, stall his agenda.

Whether it’s U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg attempting to block the Trump administration from deporting suspected illegal alien gang members to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, or U.S. District Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander blocking the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing Social Security Administration data, federal judges have repeatedly stepped in to undermine executive authority.

Opponents of the Trump administration will cite the U.S. Constitution’s “separation of powers” as justification for the judicial system’s resistance to his agenda, claiming the system crafted by the Founding Fathers is working as designed. However, this is a smokescreen for a far more sinister reality.

America increasingly lives under a Judicial Oligarchy, where the district court system that functions below the Supreme Court has assumed power far beyond its intended limited role, subverting the executive and legislative branches to impose a policy agenda dictated not by elected representatives but by unelected judges.

According to a Fox News report, nationwide injunctions against President Trump’s first administration accounted for more than half of the total injunctions ordered against the federal government since 1963.

Insurrectionist Judge Chosen to Oversea SignalGate Case

pgnewser March 27, 2025 0

After a Signal chat was shared by Atlantic Monthly editor Jeffrey Goldberg allegedly showing the war plans for an attack on the Houthis, the administration has countered the charges, saying no war plans were leaked. Goldberg ended up being included in a group chat on Signal that included members of Trump’s administration, including JD Vance and Pete Hegseth.

Now, a lawsuit filed by American Oversight, a far-left insurrectionist organization, claiming the use of Signal Chat violates the Hatch act, has been given to insurrectionist far left activist judge James E. Boasberg, the January 6 Judge that likes to give long sentences to Americans and short ones to terrorists. MIA will be tracking this story and may report on it in detail in a future issue should events warrant.

Excerpt:

The far-left watchdog group American Oversight has filed a lawsuit targeting some of President Trump’s most loyal warriors, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and DNI Tulsi Gabbard. Their supposed crime? Using the double-encrypted messaging app Signal to communicate about military operations.

This latest witch hunt stems from a wild claim by Jeffrey Goldberg, the notoriously anti-Trump editor-in-chief of The Atlantic.

Goldberg claimed he was “accidentally” added to a secure Signal group chat where top Trump officials were allegedly discussing sensitive military actions against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

During a Senate Intel Committee hearing on Tuesday, CIA Director John Ratcliffe blew Goldberg’s story to smithereens. Ratcliffe testified that no undercover CIA agent was part of the Signal chat—debunking the leftist fantasy of some cloak-and-dagger conspiracy. He confirmed that Signal is fully approved for government use.

In fact, the app was installed on his own computer by the CIA after he took the job, the Obama administration used Signal too.

As reported Trump team angrily fired back and called Goldberg a liar, saying no war plans were discussed. Now, Goldberg and his co-worker Shane Harris have published details of the military plans against the Houthis to call Team Trump’s bluff and humiliate Trump.

Ratcliffe and Gabbard both doubled down, stating unequivocally that no classified information was shared in the chat. Yet, that didn’t stop American Oversight from filing a lawsuit demanding a temporary restraining order.

Wisconsin SCOTUS Election Could Decide Next U.S. House

pgnewser March 27, 2025 0

An election for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court could determine who controls the U.S. House in 2027. A Democrat win will assure a new redistricting by the court that will significantly favor Democrats while a GOP win will prevent the gerrymandering from happening.

President Trump and Elon Musk have both stepped into the fray, with Musk pumping in money to support the GOP candidate, Brad Schimel, while Trump has openly endorsed him and called on his supporters to make sure he wins. Trump said, “WISCONSIN: There is a very important Election for State Supreme Court on April 1st, and Early Voting is now underway.”

With a week and a day to go before what has been billed as “the most important election of 2025,” President Trump is weighing in on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race.

In a post on Truth Social, the president has endorsed conservative candidate Brad Schimel and the voting strategy that helped Trump re-take critical swing state Wisconsin in November’s sea-change election.

“WISCONSIN: There is a very important Election for State Supreme Court on April 1st, and Early Voting is now underway,” Trump first wrote Friday on his social media platform.

Next Tuesday’s election will decide whether conservatives or leftists control Wisconsin’s Supreme Court. Policy in politically-divided Wisconsin isn’t merely on the line. A left-led court could prove pivotal in delivering the U.S. House of Representatives back to Democrats in 2026 via a court-approved redrawing of the Badger State’s congressional maps, as fat cat lib donors have pledged.

White House avoiding ‘iffy territory’ by pausing deportation flights: Byron York– www.washingtonexaminer.com

Excerpt:

Byron York suggested that the Trump administration is possibly seeking to avoid legal trouble by pausing its deportation flights after a recent court order was issued.

The White House confirmed on Wednesday that it is currently not planning further deportation flights for the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. This comes after Chief Judge James Boasberg in Washington’s district court ordered a two-week halt of the deportations on Saturday.

In the wake of this news, York noted how Trump himself has said that his administration will not defy a court order, and the White House’s move is due to the administration seeking to stay out of “iffy territory” amid litigation.

“I thought an important point in the briefing was Karoline Leavitt trying to place all of the lawsuits that the Trump Administration is facing, I don’t know how many there are right now, she tried to place them all as a continuation of the lawfare that President Trump experienced both when he was in office the first time, his four years out of office, and now as president again,” York, the Washington Examiner’s chief political correspondent, said on Fox News’s America Reports.

Excerpt:

Nationwide injunctions ordered against the first Trump administration account for more than half of the total injunctions ordered against the federal government since 1963, data show.

Nationwide injunctions are court orders that prevent the federal government from implementing a policy or law that has a cascading effect impacting the entire country, not just the parties involved in the court case.

Trump’s first administration faced 64 injunctions out of the total 127 nationwide injunctions issued since 1963. There were 32 injunctions issued against the Bush, Obama and Biden administrations collectively since 2001, meaning the first Trump administration was on the receiving end of double the amount of nationwide injunctions than his two predecessors and successor combined, according to the April 2024 edition of the Harvard Law Review.

The Department of Justice continued Wednesday to push back against a federal judge’s request for information about Venezuelan migrant deportations and whether it defied a court order, saying the request is “continuing to beat a dead horse.”

The big picture: It’s the latest response in the back and forth between the Trump administration and U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who has repeatedly requested that the government provide details on the migrant deportation flights conducted over the weekend.

  • Boasberg extended the filing deadline to Thursday from Tuesday’s initial deadline for the DOJ to answer his questions regarding flight departure times and the passengers aboard the flights.
  • When the DOJ resisted answering in its Tuesday filing citing concerns about “sensitive information bearing on foreign relations” being made public, Boasberg agreed they could do so under seal.
