Judge finds probable cause to hold Trump administration in contempt over deportation flights​

WASHINGTON — A federal judge said in an order Wednesday that he has found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt over the deportation flights that it sent to El Salvador.

“If Defendants opt to purge their contempt, they shall file by April 23, 2025, a declaration explaining the steps they have taken and will take to do so," U.S. District Judge James Boasberg wrote.

Appeals court backs judge in Abrego Garcia case, saying Trump DOJ ‘would reduce the rule of law to lawlessness’​

A federal appeals court rejected the Trump administration’s request that it halt the next steps Judge Paula Xinis is seeking to take in the case concerning a migrant who was wrongly deported to El Salvador, with a strident warning about the rule of law and the possibility the dispute presented an “incipient crisis.”

The 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals said in its seven-page ruling Thursday that the Trump administration’s assertions in the case “should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear.”

Supreme Court Halts New Trump Deportations Under Wartime Law​

The Supreme Court blocked, for now, the deportation of a group of Venezuelan migrants whom the Trump administration is seeking to remove under a rarely used wartime law.

The order came early Saturday after lawyers for the migrants asked the justices to step in on an emergency basis to halt their deportations as reports came that immigration officials began loading the detainees onto buses for deportation under the Alien Enemies Act.

The horse-racing industry needs workers on visas. Employers hope to still get them.​

For her entire life, Diana Pinones' parents took care of racehorses.

Her mom, now retired, would walk the horses each morning. Her dad still grooms them, which can mean feeding, brushing and dressing the horses in preparation for race day.

Originally from Michoacán, Mexico, the Pinones became U.S. citizens and have turned horse-racing into a family affair, as have many others in the industry.

‘We’re citizens!’: Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren’t suspects​

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were not the suspects the agents were looking for.

The agents had a search warrant for the home, but the suspects listed on the warrant do not live in the house.

The woman who actually lives in the house had just moved to Oklahoma City from Maryland with her family about two weeks earlier.

Stephen Miller Says Trump Administration Is 'Actively Looking' At Suspending Habeas Corpus​

During a press appearance on Friday, Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller detailed another possible prong of the White House’s attempts to target unauthorized immigrants: suspending habeas corpus.

“The Constitution is clear — and that of course is the supreme law of the land — that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion,” Miller said. “So it’s an option that we’re actively looking at.”

Judges have a warning about Trump’s rapid deportations: Americans could be next​

A fundamental promise by America’s founders — that no one should be punished by the state without a fair hearing — is under threat, a growing chorus of federal judges say.

That concept of “due process under law,” borrowed from the Magna Carta and enshrined in the Bill of Rights, is most clearly imperiled for the immigrants President Donald Trump intends to summarily deport, they say, but U.S. citizens should be wary, too.

Across the country, judges appointed by presidents of both parties — including Trump himself — are escalating warnings about what they see as an erosion of due process caused by the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign. What started with a focus on people Trump has deemed “terrorists” and “gang members” — despite their fierce denials — could easily expand to other groups, including Americans, these judges warn.

“When the courts say due process is important, we're not unhinged, we're not radicals,” U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, a Washington, D.C.-based appointee of President Joe Biden, said at a recent hearing. “We are literally trying to enforce a process embodied in probably the most significant document with respect to peoples' rights against tyrannical government oppression. That's what we're doing here. Okay?”

Trump Makes SHOCK ADMISSION in SECRET FILING​

May 14, 2025 Legal AF Podcast
Trump along with his Sec of State and Attorney General and Homeland Security Advisor may have been lying to the American people all along about Armando Abrego Garcia, telling anyone that would listen in their base that they are leaving him to rot in El Salvador, while secretly telling the Court that they are working on bringing him home. Michael Popok reports on new filings that explain it all.

ICE accused of faking 'alien harboring' allegations to snatch activists​

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents lied to federal judges about the reasons they needed warrants to enter the homes of Columbia University students and arrest them, according to attorneys investigating the matter.

Per The Guardian, "a recently unsealed search warrant application shows that ICE told a judge it needed a warrant because the agency was investigating Columbia University for 'harboring aliens.'" However, according to the allegation, the warrant application was a "pretext" so they could "try to arrest two students, including one green card holder, in order to deport them."

Trump Administration Knew Vast Majority of Venezuelans Sent to Salvadoran Prison Had Not Been Convicted of U.S. Crimes​

The Trump administration knew that the vast majority of the 238 Venezuelan immigrants it sent to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador in mid-March had not been convicted of crimes in the United States before it labeled them as terrorists and deported them, according to U.S. Department of Homeland Security data that has not been previously reported.

President Donald Trump and his aides have branded the Venezuelans as “rapists,” “savages,” “monsters” and “the worst of the worst.” When multiple news organizations disputed those assertions with reporting that showed many of the deportees did not have criminal records, the administration doubled down. It said that its assessment of the deportees was based on a thorough vetting process that included looking at crimes committed both inside and outside the United States. But the government’s own data, which was obtained by ProPublica, The Texas Tribune and a team of journalists from Venezuela, showed that officials knew that only 32 of the deportees had been convicted of U.S. crimes and that most were nonviolent offenses, such as retail theft or traffic violations.
