Earlier this week, a federal appeals court held that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) could detain an illegal alien without bond pending his removal proceedings after he was arrested in Minneapolis in 2025. In journeyman fashion, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals interpreted the applicable immigration laws as written and applied common sense to reach its decision.   That law, 8 U.S.C. § 1225, a nearly three-decade-old statute, requires detention without bond for “an alien who is an applicant for admission if … an alien seeking admission is not clearly and beyond a doubt entitled to be admitted.” This case could be a game-changer in the administration’s efforts to hold illegal aliens pending their removal…

While out of one side of their mouths, the Left lionizes illegals as latter-day huddled masses yearning to breathe free, these same leftists speak of the migrants in ways that are condescending or at best utilitarian, even as they fight…

On Monday night, a 5 to 4 majority of the Supreme Court not only dissolved the controversial temporary restraining orders issued by Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, but the high court, in essence, took the case away from him. So much for any pending action by Boasberg to hold the government in contempt for deporting to El Salvador the gangbangers of Tren de Aragua (TdA), a vicious Venezuelan drug cartel that has been designated as a foreign terrorist organization.
