Judge Orders Trump Administration to Admit Roughly 12,000 Refugees
A judge on Monday ordered the Trump administration to admit some 12,000 refugees into the United States under a court order partially blocking the president’s efforts to suspend the nation’s refugee admissions program.

The order from U.S. District Judge Jamal Whitehead followed arguments from the Justice Department and refugee resettlement agencies over how to interpret a federal appeals court ruling that significantly narrowed an earlier decision from Whitehead.

During a hearing last week, the administration said it should only have to process 160 refugees into the country and that it would likely appeal any order requiring it to admit thousands… (Continue to full article)

Rubio Designates Haitian Gangs as Foreign Terrorist Organizations

Migrant Arrests Piling Up in New Border ‘Military Zone’
Border agents in the past week have arrested at least seven migrants for trespassing on military property while entering the United States illegally in southern New Mexico.

The numbers are piling up since the Department of the Interior transferred a 60-foot-wide strip of land running parallel to the U.S. border wall to the Department of Defense on April 15. That came in the wake of the Trump administration’s deployment of thousands of troops to the Southwest border to stem illegal immigration… (Continue to full article)

White House Announces Number of Illegal Immigrant Registrations
The Trump administration announced Tuesday that 47,000 illegal immigrants had notified the government of their presence, after new regulations were introduced.

The figure for the 2 1/2 weeks since the Alien Registration Requirement (ARR) kicked in was part of a rundown of actions taken by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) since President Donald Trump’s return to office

The requirement puts those in the U.S. without legal status in a potentially no-win situation. Failure to register could lead to criminal prosecution, but informing the government where they are living and how long they have been in the U.S. without documentation could also lead to deportation or other actions… (Continue to full article)

Courts Can’t Put Politics — or Illegal Immigrants — Above the Law
After 100 days of Trump 2.0, America’s southern border is officially secure. Illegal border crossings are at their lowest levels in decades .

But President Trump’s push for border security, among other policies, has hit superfluous judicial roadblocks every step of the way. After the Trump administration refused to return two airplanes deporting illegal immigrants to El Salvador last month, the U.S. District Court for D.C. found probable cause to hold Trump in contempt, claiming the administration demonstrated a “willful disregard” for an emergency order to turn those flights around… (Continue to full article)
