Appeals board rules undocumented immigrants
ineligible for bond hearings
Posted By: sunset, 9/7/2025 1:33:19 AM
A federal immigration board said Friday that immigrants who arrived in the United States illegally are ineligible for bond hearings while they challenge deportation proceedings in court. The decision, rendered by Judge Keith E. Hunsucker at the Board of Immigration Appeals, affirms a previous July order from Todd M. Lyons, acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who told ICE officers in a memo that such immigrants should be detained “for the duration of their removal proceedings,” which can take months or years. Lawyers say the policy will apply to millions of immigrants who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border over the past few decades

The Los Angeles Police Department has pulled its cops from a security detail at Kamala Harris’ Brentwood, California home after outrage that crime-fighting units were being diverted to guard the former vice president. A dozen Metro Division officers had been stationed outside Harris’ mansion after President Trump revoked her Secret Service protection last week, ending an extension granted by Biden. The short-lived detail drew fury inside the department. “Pulling police officers from protecting everyday Angelenos to protect a failed presidential candidate who also happens to be a multi-millionaire … and who can easily afford to pay for her own security, is nuts,” the Los Angeles Police Protective League’s board said.
A $50,000 reward is offered for any information that leads to the arrest of a man wanted in the June shooting death of a 21-year-old Congressional intern, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Officers said they are looking for 18-year-old Naqwan Antonio Lucas. The search comes after two 17-year-olds — Kelvin Thomas and Jailen Lucas — were arrested Friday in the same case. Both teens are being charged as adults.
A Tunisian Muslim immigrant living in France went on a stabbing spree after learning he was being evicted from his hotel for not paying.
The 35-year-old migrant was living in the port city of Marseille, but on Tuesday he found himself without housing, prompting a violent rampage that ended only when police shot him after he injured five people via stabbing, according to JFeed.
The man possessed two large knives and an iron bar. It was initially reported that he attacked the hotel manager and his son before running onto the street and injuring three more people, while yelling “Allahu Akbar.”
An Alaska man is petitioning the Supreme Court to consider whether the government's seizure of his $95,000 plane for transporting an illicit six-pack of beer is an excessive fine under the Eighth Amendment. The Institute for Justice, a public interest law firm, filed a petition for writ of certiorari today on behalf of Ken Jouppi, an 82-year-old Alaskan bush pilot, asking the Supreme Court to rule on whether states should consider the gravity of a defendant's specific offense, rather than an abstract view of the general crime. Jouppi was convicted of a misdemeanor when a passenger was attempting to bring beer to a "dry" village where alcohol is prohibited.
In early September, a jury trial will begin in North Texas for a 32-year-old activist named Raunaq Alam. He is accused of spray-painting “F*** Israel” on the wall of a non-denominational church in Euless, a small city roughly 20 minutes from Fort Worth. But it’s not the graffiti accusation that’s most troubling for Alam and his attorney. Using a hate-crimes statute, Tarrant county has enhanced its criminal mischief charges against Alam so he now faces 10 years in prison. The county’s argument – and the charges – are the same for two other activists. (snip) Alam adds that anyone who knows him knows he’s not a hateful person.

For over a year the San Francisco Housing Authority has tried to evict dozens of families the agency says are living illegally in a decrepit Potrero Hill public housing complex that is slated for demolition as part of a major redevelopment. Now with the project behind schedule and many of the eviction cases likely to be tied up in litigation for months, the authority is trying a new tactic to convince families to leave: Airbnb gift cards.
Resident Tania Guevara, an immigrant who has been living with her 13-year-old son in a Potrero apartment since 2023, said the housing authority sent her a letter offering a $5,000 Airbnb gift card
South Carolina called on the Supreme Court on Thursday to enforce the state’s transgender bathroom ban against a 13-year-old transgender boy. The Fourth Circuit issued an injunction earlier this month preventing South Carolina from banning a student identified as John Doe from using restrooms matching his gender identity. The Palmetto State argued that the limited injunction left the state “stuck between an impossible rock and hard place.”
“On the one hand, the Executive Branch demands, on pain of loss of federal funding, that schools apply Title IX as originally understood,”. “On the other hand, the Fourth Circuit has required Applicant Berkeley County School District to do exactly the opposite.”
President Donald Trump‘s Department of Housing and Urban Development is giving every public housing authority in the country 30 days to share citizenship status of tenants or risk losing their federal funding. By law, every PHA is required to share eligibility information, including citizenship status, with HUD. The Housing and Community Development Act specifically bars illegal immigrants from public housing programs. The letter gives each PHA 30 days from the receipt of the notice to fulfill the following six requests: 1. Identify all “mixed family” units, all units “by one or more individuals who do not contend that they have immigration status,” granted assistance without verifying immigration status
The Trump administration will on Thursday grant itself new permission to hire any attorney to serve as an immigration judge on a temporary basis, eschewing longstanding restrictions on who could serve in those roles.
The change gives Attorney General Pam Bondi wide latitude in selecting officials to oversee asylum and other cases pending before the Executive Office of Immigration Review, the Justice Department agency that runs the nation’s immigration courts. Since 2014, the department has allowed only former immigration judges, administrative law judges from other agencies or Justice attorneys with at least 10 years of experience related to immigration law to serve as temporary immigration judges
At least four people are dead, including a child, and 19 others were wounded in shootings across Chicago during the weekend, according to police. The ages of the victims range from 5 to 48. In the first shooting of the weekend, a 33-year-old woman was driving just before 7 p.m. in the 1900 block of West 66th Street when she suffered a gunshot wound to her right eye. Police said an unknown suspect inside a black vehicle fired multiple gunshots in the victim's direction and then fled in an unknown direction.
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs officials announced Friday that the agency is redirecting nearly $45 million from public union costs to care for veterans. "VA staff will now get to spend more time with Veterans, VA facilities can focus on treating Veterans, and VA can manage its staff according to Veterans' needs and national security requirements, not union demands," VA Secretary Doug Collins said. Earlier this month, Veterans Affairs canceled its contracts with most unions on Wednesday, saying the unions fight against the best interests of veterans. When VA canceled those contacts, it cut the number of VA bargaining unit employees from about 375,000 to about 7,000.

Doc Will ‘Finish Off’ Trump; Here’s
Why That’s Absurd 32 replies
It doesn’t matter what is in this documentary or if anyone ever sees it. It will not finish off Trump.
Here is why:
I spent the last year examining the six major “lawfare” cases against President Trump in between his two presidential administrations, and the E. Jean Carroll case was easily the most absurd on its face. Key details: in 2019, advice columnist and former Saturday Night Live writer E. Jean Carroll wrote an account in New York magazine alleging that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in 1995. Or maybe it was 1996. She can’t exactly remember.
The former Delaware senator turned vice president turned one-term president has put together a group of “former aides, friends, and political allies” to begin the extensive fundraising effort and locate a specific location, the Associated Press reported Saturday. However, as the wire service pointed out, “Biden’s library team has the daunting task of raising money for the 46th president’s legacy project at a moment when his party has become fragmented about the way ahead and many big Democratic donors have stopped writing checks.”
President Donald Trump’s persistent reminders about the failures of the Biden administration also exacerbate the challenge.
SSCI Vice-Chairman Mark Warner is not happy the Trump administration is subverting the oversight authorities of the SSCI and Gang-of-Eight. If you know the background of the SSCI and Warner, his frustration is a positive indication.
I’ll have much more to say about the ramifications of his anxiety and the background therein, but here’s the raw interview as broadcast for context of what will follow.
Senate Intelligence Committee vice chairman, Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, told “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” that the committee was not briefed ahead of President Trump’s deadly Venezuelan boat strike that was allegedly carrying drugs.
Shabana Mahmood, a British lawmaker of Pakistani origin, was named the country’s new interior minister on Friday as Prime Minister Keir Starmer undertook his first major cabinet reshuffle since becoming premier in July 2024.
Starmer brought in his "loyal friends" on Friday in a sweeping reshuffle intended to restore his authority after the resignation of his deputy, Angela Rayner.
After reshaping his Downing Street team last week to bolster his economic advice, a ministerial reshuffle had been expected.
The billionaire heiress who recently donated $250,000 to a super PAC supporting socialist Zohran Mamdani’s NYC mayoral campaign is bankrolling a national push to bring “woke math” into public schools — a twisted bid to turn kids into socialist revolutionaries, critics told The Post. Philanthropist Liz Simons, daughter of late hedge-fund billionaire Jim Simons, oversees a foundation with a near-billion-dollar endowment trashing traditional race-neutral math in favor of race-obsessed leftist lessons inserting social justice principles into many aspects of students’ studies.[snip] thrusting racial and LGBTQ themes into previously straightforward lesson plans.
Congress has not scheduled a vote to extend President Trump’s 30-day federalization of the Metropolitan Police Department as the expiration date looms. Trump’s control over DC police is set to expire next week on September 10 if Congress doesn’t act. President Trump, on August 11 signed an executive order declaring a “crime emergency” and invoking powers under section 740 of the DC Home Rule Act to federalize the police. The Home Rule Act requires Congressional approval for the President to federalize the police for more than 30 days.

I’m sure you’ve heard about that young Ukrainian refugee murdered by a thug on a Charlotte light rail train. And the only reason you heard of it is because a local Charlotte TV channel got ahold of the video.
The incident happened two weeks ago. WBTV-3 reports,Light rail stabbing: Graphic video shows moments before, after woman killed in Charlotte.
They report,
WBTV on Friday, Sept. 5 obtained surveillance video of a deadly stabbing that happened two weeks earlier on the Lynx Blue Line light rail system in Charlotte, North Carolina.
At around 9:50 p.m. on Aug. 22, a light rail passenger stabbed Iryna Zarutska, 23, several times.
Stephen King seems to have replaced his talent for weaving chilling tales with an unhealthy obsession with Donald Trump and his supporters. Instead of focusing on novels, King has turned himself into yet another left-wing pundit who just happens to have a long list of bestsellers on his résumé.
And while his books used to inspire genuine fear, his political predictions are now nothing more than laughable, partisan nonsense. His latest declaration is so ridiculous, it proves just how consumed he’s become with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
According to King, years from now, many Americans who voted for Donald Trump will deny ever having done so.
The Judicial Coup Is Collapsing

Late last week NBC ran a “news” story featuring a dozen disgruntled federal judges whose rulings against various Trump administration policies have been stayed or overturned by the Supreme Court. These lower court judges, none of whom had the courage to allow NBC to name them in the article, bewailed the failure of SCOTUS to provide sufficient justification for ruling against them. It’s blindingly obvious, however, that the real issue they are whining about is the Court’s refusal to countenance their usurpation of the President’s Article II powers and frustrate implementation of his agenda.
Russia launched its largest air attack of the war on Ukraine overnight, setting the main government building on fire in central Kyiv and killing at least four people, including an infant, Ukrainian officials said on Sunday.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the drone and missile barrage killed four people and caused damage across the north, south and east of the country, including the cities of Zaporizhzhia, Kryvyi Rih and Odesa, as well as in the Sumy and Chernihiv regions.
"Such killings now, when real diplomacy could have already begun long ago, are a deliberate crime and a prolongation of the war," Zelenskiy said in a post on X, issuing a fresh appeal

A California woman illegally registered her dog to vote and cast two ballots under the canine’s name, according to officials.
Laura Lee Yourex, 62, of Costa Mesa, faces five felony charges, including perjury, procuring or offering a false or forged document to be filed, casting a ballot when not entitled to vote and registering a non-existent person to vote, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.
Yourex submitted mail-in ballots under her dog’s name, Maya Jean Yourex, during the 2021 gubernatorial recall election and the 2022 primary, the District Attorney’s Office said.
The recall ballot was counted, but the primary ballot was rejected.

Skulls of Dead Migrants in Central American Jungles 17 replies
Many of the poor migrants drawn north by President Joe Biden’s welcoming policies are now self-migrating southwards through jungles filled with the bones of dead migrants, according to an article in Rolling Stone.
The many migrant deaths were admitted by author Paola Ramos in a report from Panama:
[Venezuelan migrant] Edinson is part of a growing trend of “reverse migration” emerging throughout the American continent. A year ago, this movement would have been unimaginable. In 2024, during the Joe Biden administration, more than 300,000 north-bound migrants traversed the Darién Gap.
