NA In yesterday’s decision in Department of Homeland Security v. D.V.D, the Supreme Court stayed a lower-court ruling barring the federal government from deporting migrants slated for deportation to “third countries” without due process – that is, nations other than their countries of origin or ones they had agreed to be sent to.

The Trump administration has approved funding for Florida to build migrant detention centers to house 5,000 detainees. Among the projects approved is “Alligator Alcatraz,” a proposed facility located on a 30-square-mile abandoned airfield in the Everglades. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced on Monday that the facility will start receiving detainees by the first week […]
In May, President Donald Trump’s administration directed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to make a minimum of 3,000 arrests per day.

Renewed calls for sweeping deportations have sent a wave of panic through America’s farms—and for good reason. Almost 14.5 million tons of produce were left unharvested across the U.S. in 2023 alone.

One of the dumbest memes I’ve seen recently shows a photo of a Los Angeles rioter waving a Mexican flag with the tagline, “California 2025.” Underneath that image is a photo of young, wholesome folks leaning against a Mustang with their surfboards at a Southern California beach with the words, “California 1965.” It’s absurd for […]
