The teen, who entered the U.S. illegally, was behind the wheel without a license when he ran a red light at over 90 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone last July. Weaver, a recent college graduate and addiction recovery worker, was critically injured in the crash and later died after being kept on life support to donate her organs. Despite the severity of the incident, the teenager was…

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing the government to resume the deportation of more than 530,000 migrants who were previously admitted under a parole program launched during the Biden presidency. The program, which began in 2022, permitted migrants from Venezuela, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Cuba to enter the United States legally on a temporary basis if they passed background checks and secured a U.S.-based sponsor. It was designed to manage border crossings while offering humanitarian relief and a legal path to work authorization for up to two years. The high court’s 7-2 decision lifts…
A man from Toronto has pleaded guilty to federal charges after a violent outburst at Miami International Airport, where he assaulted two TSA officers in a scene captured by surveillance footage. The incident took place on December 28, 2024, when the traveler was removed from a Copa Airlines flight due to disruptive behavior. He later reentered the airport and charged through a security checkpoint, where he began punching and shoving TSA personnel. The confrontation left both agents with minor injuries before the man was eventually restrained by airport police. Federal prosecutors confirmed the man pleaded guilty to two counts of…
President Donald Trump is pushing back hard against a recent court decision that blocked his administration’s sweeping tariffs, accusing legal insiders and even some of his former allies of sabotaging U.S. trade policy from behind the scenes. Following a federal ruling that declared his “Liberation Day” tariffs unconstitutional, Trump took to social media to denounce what he called “backroom hustlers” within the judicial system. He singled out Judge Timothy Reif — a Trump appointee — for siding with arguments that the president lacked the authority to impose broad tariffs without congressional approval. Trump also took aim at the Federalist Society…
The U.S. Department of Justice has officially ended its longstanding practice of providing the American Bar Association (ABA) with special access to federal judicial nominees, signaling a sharp departure from tradition. Under the new policy, the DOJ will no longer submit nominee names to the ABA for early evaluation, nor will it facilitate exclusive interviews or share confidential background details. The decision comes amid growing criticism that the ABA’s ratings have displayed partisan leanings, with recent accusations pointing to a consistent favorability toward nominees from Democratic administrations. Attorney General Pam Bondi clarified that the ABA will now be treated like…
President Donald Trump is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a lower court decision that blocked his administration’s newly imposed “Liberation Day” tariffs, a key component of his economic policy. The tariffs, introduced in April, applied a standard 10% duty on imports from most nations, with higher rates targeting specific countries including China, Mexico, and Canada. However, a federal trade court ruled that the president lacked the authority to implement the measure under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, stating the law does not give the executive unlimited control over tariffs without congressional input. Despite the ruling, an appeals…
President Donald Trump has escalated his defamation lawsuit against CBS News by rejecting a $15 million settlement offer from Paramount Global. Trump claims that a “60 Minutes” segment featuring then-Vice President Kamala Harris was selectively edited to mislead the public and harm his presidential campaign, which is the center of the legal dispute. Trump’s legal team expanded their demands in response to the offer, now requesting a formal public apology from the network and over $25 million in damages. They contend that the broadcast unduly influenced public perception and misrepresented facts at a critical juncture in the election cycle. CBS…
The Trump administration has issued a new directive to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), setting a target of 3,000 arrests per day as part of its latest crackdown on illegal immigration. This goal nearly doubles the previously established daily target. In support of this directive, ICE leadership is undergoing a significant shake-up. Kenneth Genalo, the former head of Enforcement and Removal Operations, has retired but will remain on as a special government employee. Robert Hammer, who previously led Homeland Security Investigations, has been reassigned. Stepping into new leadership roles are Marcos Charles and Derek Gordon, now acting heads of ERO…
The Department of Justice has formally ended its cooperation with the American Bar Association in the vetting process for federal judicial nominees, citing concerns over political bias. Under the directive of Attorney General Pam Bondi, the DOJ will no longer provide access to confidential candidate records or participate in the ABA’s longstanding evaluation process. The department emphasized that the ABA will now be treated as a standard advocacy group, without any special advisory privileges. The change comes as President Trump nominated six new judges to the federal bench, including Emil Bove, a former defense lawyer for the president, tapped for…
A Laguna Beach father tragically died on Memorial Day after a driving lesson with his teenage daughter ended in a fatal accident. The 64-year-old man was instructing his 15-year-old daughter, who holds a learner’s permit, when the vehicle unexpectedly accelerated through a fence and plummeted nearly 40 feet down an embankment, landing upside down on Coast Highway. Emergency responders pronounced the father dead at the scene. His daughter, though seriously injured, was taken to a nearby hospital and is now in stable condition. Authorities believe the teen may have accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brake. The incident remains…
Michelle Obama and Dr. Sharon Malone recently shared a heartfelt conversation about what it’s like to live alongside powerful men in the public eye, describing themselves as “reluctant spouses” in the spotlight. During a discussion on Obama’s podcast, the former First Lady and Malone, wife of former Attorney General Eric Holder, spoke candidly about being frequently overlooked at public events where their husbands commanded all the attention. Obama recalled being physically bypassed by people eager to meet her husband—sometimes so aggressively that drinks were spilled on her in the process. Malone shared similar experiences, noting the emotional complexity of being…
Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello ignited the stage at Boston Calling with a searing rebuke of President Donald Trump, coming to the defense of Bruce Springsteen amid their ongoing public clash. Performing in front of a bold anti-Trump backdrop, Morello accused the president of targeting Springsteen out of resentment, claiming Trump is bitter about the rock legend’s enduring popularity and outspoken activism. He told the crowd that Springsteen has always stood for truth and justice, and blasted Trump for lashing out over personal insecurities. The feud was reignited after Springsteen recently criticized the Trump administration during an international…
Governor Maura Healey is calling out federal immigration authorities over recent ICE raids conducted on the exclusive Massachusetts islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, expressing alarm over what she described as disturbing tactics and a lack of coordination. Roughly 40 individuals were detained during the operations, including individuals with serious criminal records such as gang affiliations and prior sex offense convictions. While ICE defended the actions as necessary for public safety, Healey criticized the approach as disruptive and lacking in transparency. According to state officials, no advance notice was given to local or state agencies prior to the enforcement sweeps,…
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has reignited her campaign to dismantle U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), using the platform to rally support and raise funds amid an aggressive new immigration crackdown by the Trump administration. In a message to her supporters, Ocasio-Cortez described ICE as an outdated agency born of post-9/11 policy, arguing that it has become a tool for what she sees as inhumane and unjust immigration practices. She reiterated her belief that the agency no longer aligns with the values of a just and equitable immigration system. The renewed push comes as ICE reports more than 66,000 arrests and…

He warned that if Putin fails to demonstrate progress, the U.S. response will shift to a more assertive stance. The Kremlin has yet to commit to…
