All the hand-wringing and fear-mongering over Trump’s decision to kick DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) to Congress was for naught (as we predicted).
Last week, Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) said Trump told him he’s willing to give Congress time to find a way to legally codify DACA, the extra-legal program...
Yet again, a Maryland Judge followed suit behind Hawaii, granting an injunction on Trump’s third travel executive order.
The order intended to temporarily curb immigration from well-known state sponsors of terror.
Hawaii has it out for Trump’s attempt to curb oft-exploited visas to the U.S. issued in well-established state sponsors of terror.
For the third time, a federal judge in Hawaii has approved a request for a temporary restraining order, putting Trump’s latest travel executive order on hold.
We previously wrote how the U.S. Supreme Court was likely to dismiss the two Travel Order cases before it, one from the 4th Circuit (via Maryland District Court) and one from the 9th Circuit (via Hawaii District Court) on grounds of mootness. Both of those...
According to an exclusive report published by the Washington Times Sunday evening, the White House submitted a lengthy new immigration plan to Congress.
California Governor Jerry Brown just signed a new law officially making California a sanctuary state.
ICE has a message for the Governor: So I guess that means we’ll have to step up enforcement raids in your state.
The Mercury News reports:
Despite a recent lawsuit from California politicians, construction of the President Trump’s border wall has entered an exciting new phase of construction.
When Trump rolled out a new Permanent Travel Order last night, I noted that there was a substantial question whether this rendered the pending Supreme Court case as to Trave Order No. 2 moot:
So what happens to the pending Supreme Court case? It seems that so much of the case as...
It seems like ancient history, but the original and replacement Travel Orders were meant to be temporary, to provide time for a security review.
Those Orders were demagogued as “Muslim bans” when they clearly were not. They applied to the seven highest risk countries for terrorist visa infiltration as identified by the...

A very flustered Nancy Pelosi was met by an angry bunch of DREAMers at a DREAMer event in San Francisco Monday. The crowd was shouting, demanding to know where she was when they asked for help, to which Pelosi replied, “you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Watch:
As we’ve blogged before,...
Iraqi nationals detained by ICE for deportation have gone on a hunger strike in a detention facility. They are protesting their detention and their eventual deportation. The federal government has said that these Iraqis are being deported because they have committed crimes.
Friday, a federal judge granted Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel his request for an injunction on a Justice Department advisory. In March, Attorney General Jeff Sessions held a press conference where he reiterated current federal regulations requiring local law enforcement officials to communicate with federal officials on certain immigration matters. Failure to...
On July 13, 2015, long before it was clear or even likely that Trump would be the Republican nominee, much less president, I wrote at National Review how central the issue of illegal immigration was to Trump’s rise.
My post was Trump’s Lesson: Voters Are Furious about Illegal Immigration:
Late Wednesday night, Democrats Sen. Schumer and White House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced they’d reached a deal with Trump on DACA and that funding for Trump’s campaign cornerstone, the border wall, was not part of the agreement, though they’d agreed to include some form of beefed up border security.
Trump and...
Yesterday Justice Kennedy issued a temporary stay of the 9th Circuit’s ruling as to refugees, whose entry is put on hold under the Trump Travel Order No. 2.
Today the full Supreme Court granted the stay:
The application for stay of mandate presented to Justice Kennedy and by him referred to the Court...
This is an UPDATE (by WAJ):
Justice Kennedy has issued a partial stay of the 9th Circuit ruling, with regard to the refugee aspect of the Travel Order, the only portion as to which the government sought a stay:
