Mary and Andrew begin this week by addressing Todd Blanche’s “Meet the Press” interview with Kristen Welker, where, among other things, the newly appointed Attorney General proclaimed that “no attorney general should ever pledge” to act independently of the White House, despite decades of post-Watergate reforms. Keeping in the Blanche vicinity, the co-hosts detail a complaint filed by former Michigan AUSA Sunita Doddamani, who alleged she was fired without cause simply for doing her job prosecuting FACE Act violations. Then, a dive into revelations of undercover agents targeting Minnesota nonprofit organizations as part of an investigation that led to indictments of protestors that, in Mary’s view, included “a whole lot of…
A U.S. appeals court has dismissed a case challenging the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members.
AI:In yet another crushing blow for those seeking to paralyze federal authority, an appeals court has dismissed a legal challenge aimed at stripping the Trump administration of its power to utilize the Alien Enemies Act to deport notorious Venezuelan gang members. While radical leftist activists and their allies in the coastal media establishment attempt to frame this as a mere procedural win for criminals, it is actually a massive victory for national sovereignty and the rule of law. This dismissal effectively dismantles one of the many judicial roadblocks designed to shield violent transnational gang members from deportation, ensuring that federal enforcement can proceed without being bogged down by endless, manufactured litigation intended…Open
The court dismissed a case over the Alien Enemies Act in a messy conclusion to a long-running legal battle that had seemed destined to end up before the Supreme Court.
AI:In another messy and inconclusive display by the activist judiciary, an appeals court has sidestepped the fundamental constitutional questions regarding the administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act, leaving the battle over national sovereignty in a state of legal limbo. Rather than providing the clarity needed to enforce border security against dangerous transnational threats, this ruling avoids the core issue, effectively stalling the momentum for decisive deportation protocols. While the coastal media establishment remains silent on how this judicial avoidance shields criminal elements from accountability, it is clearly part of a broader, systemic effort by progressive-leaning courts to paralyze federal enforcement through…Open

FBI Director Kash Patel is providing an update Wednesday on a Justice Department (DOJ) investigation into the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA). TdA has been at the center of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, with officials designating the gang a foreign terrorist organization and invoking the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged members. The administration's use of the wartime law has sparked a series of legal challenges over President Trump’s sweeping deportation efforts. Venezuela has also made headlines in recent months after the capture of ex-leader Nicolas Maduro, who is facing drug trafficking charges. He has pleaded not guilty to the allegations. Patel will be joined by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and…

The Department of Homeland Security is rushing to fulfill President Trump's mass deportation goals , and its haste has led to high-profile deportation screwups. Why it matters: The high-visibility enforcement campaign has drawn attention to every tactic from Trump's immigration enforcers, including when they're on the wrong side of the law and public opinion. The big picture: As of late January, DHS said it had deported 675,000 undocumented immigrants. - But from the earliest weeks of Trump 2.0, the administration has been challenged in the courts. - It has dealt with backlash for ignoring judicial orders and had to apologize for some wrongful deportations, although some of those deported are still fighting to return. - It has even…
Boasberg wants U.S. taxpayers to bring suspected gang members back from Venezuela. KELLY: The ACLU doesn’t even know where these 137 illegals are. Some left Venezuela, some are in third party countries. Boasberg wants taxpayers to fly them back, hold Zoom hearings from Venezuela, and let them file new asylum and habeas claims challenging their Alien Enemies Act designation. They’re not in U.S. custody. They’re not under our constitutional protections. Yet he wants them back on American soil.
