The Reason Why WH Ignored Judge’s Order Requiring Planeload of Gangbangers to Turn Around – RedState– redstate.com Source Link Excerpt:
As we’ve been reporting, President Trump invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act against members of the violent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang and promptly put over 200 of them on a plane to be taken to El Salvador. While the flight was still in the air, Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ordered a temporary restraining order preventing the deportation of any Venezuelans—and he also demanded that the plane turn around and return the gangsters to the U.S. (Attorney General Pam Bondi has already appealed the ruling.)
The Trump administration ignored the order, however, and the gangbangers were unloaded Sunday in El Salvador, where President Nayib Bukele has agreed to incarcerate them for a fee.
Today, the first 238 members of the Venezuelan criminal organization, Tren de Aragua, arrived in our country. They were immediately transferred to CECOT, the Terrorism Confinement Center, for a period of one year (renewable).
Trump Has Reversed About 100 Biden Executive Orders– lidblog.com Source Link Excerpt:
President Donald Trump has just signed another 18 executive orders reversing Biden’s disastrous orders. And so far, that makes about 100 orders signed to eliminate Biden destructive efforts.
The White House said the most recent signings reverse “damaging policies” and brings back “effective government.”
With the new batch of his executive actions, Trump rolled back one that “elevated radical gender ideology in U.S. diplomacy and foreign aid,” the White House added, according to The Hill.
Trump also put an end to Biden’s use of the Department of Energy to expand the U.S. clean energy industry with the reshaping of the Defense Production Act launched in 1950. Biden had abused this rule to push for “mandates” for electric heat pumps and solar panels.
Missouri Orders Planned Parenthood To “Cease and Desist” Chemical Abortions– www.lifenews.com Source Link Excerpt:
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey issued a cease-and-desist order last week to Planned Parenthood formally prohibiting the abortion giant from performing chemical abortions in the state. The order advises the company to implement a “valid” health and safety plan to protect women and treat complications from abortion-inducing drugs, as required by state law. AG Bailey cited Planned Parenthood’s “uncontroverted track record” of disregarding Missouri health and safety laws as the reason for the temporary restraining order, which makes it a felony for the organization to dispense the high-risk drugs.
In November 2024, Missouri made abortion a constitutional “right” in the state, which nullified the state’s near-total abortion. Since then, Planned Parenthood has resumed surgical abortions at several Missouri facilities. In response to the order, Planned Parenthood officials have indicated that its Missouri facilities are not currently offering chemical abortions and won’t do so until the complication plans are approved.
However, AG Bailey stated in a press release that the order is due to Planned Parenthood’s “documented history” of “repeated and knowing” violations of state law. He noted the organization has “admitted under oath” to knowingly “refusing to file required complication reports” and that investigations had discovered other violations, such as failing to comply with informed consent laws and to sterilize surgical instruments.

Top Democrats Demand Investigation Into DeJoy’s Secret Deal With Musk To Gut USPS– www.politicususa.com Source Link Excerpt:
House Democrats who oversee the USPS are concerned that the Trump administration is maneuvering to get around the law and gut the United Postal Service.
In a letter to House Oversight Committee chair James Comer (R-KY), twenty House Democrats led by Oversight Committee ranking member Gerry Connolly (D-VA) wrote:
We write to request that you convene an immediate hearing on the Trump Administration’s plans for the United States Postal Service (USPS). Since the Committee’s most recent hearing on the USPS, the Trump Administration has reportedly explored privatizing the USPS, firing the bipartisan Postal Board of Governors, merging the USPS into the Department of Commerce, and is now subjecting the USPS, America’s most trusted federal institution, to the chainsaw approach of Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This broad assault on the independence of the USPS demands Congressional oversight, especially from the Committee with jurisdiction over the USPS.
On December 14, 2024, the Washington Post reported that President Trump was considering actions to privatize the USPS and push thousands of federal service employees out of their jobs in favor of a broad privatization of the agency’s essential services. Two months later, further reporting noted that President Trump was preparing plans to fire the bipartisan Postal Board of Governors and “merge” the Postal Service into the Commerce Department, “potentially throwing the 250-year-old mail provider and trillions of dollars of e-commerce transactions into turmoil.”
There is no doubt that the chaos and tyranny that went down in 2020 “changed our lives.” People were denied the ability to grieve their dead, told not to celebrate holidays with family and friends, masked to give birth without the support of a spouse, ripped out of classrooms to stare at a screen, and segregated from society based on their jab status.
Trump must defy rogue judges or risk a failed presidency– www.theblaze.com Source Link Excerpt:
If a federal judge told President Trump to deliver a specifically curated speech and then pull down his pants on live television, should he comply? If he refused, would that trigger a “constitutional crisis”? If you pay attention to the left, the answer might very well be “yes”!
The only “constitutional crisis” we face is the erroneous idea that the judiciary is atop the food chain rather than on equal footing with the other two branches of government. If Trump hopes to succeed this time around, he had better remind the judiciary of its impotence to enforce unconstitutional edicts.
Granting courts ultimate veto power over public policy creates a judicial supremacy the Founders never intended.
Federal judges have repeatedly attempted to restrict Trump’s presidential authority with overreaching demands. They have ordered the administration to fund private foreign aid organizations, reinstate specific personnel, and publish designated information on government websites. In one case, a judge even directed the secretary of defense to retract a statement on the Pentagon’s policy regarding transgender troops. And over the weekend, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg attempted to block the deportation of violent gang members under the Alien Enemies Act.
Department of Veterans Affairs Ends Transgender and Intersex Care Directives – Mother Jones– www.motherjones.com Source Link Excerpt:
The Department of Veterans Affairs in Phoenix.Matt York/AP
Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.
On Monday, citing Donald Trump’s “Defending Women” executive order, the federal Department of Veterans Affairs announced that it would “phase out treatment for gender dysphoria” by discontinuing hormone replacement therapy for patients not already in treatment.
The agency provides health care and benefits for about nine million veterans, tens of thousands of whom—by the VA’s estimate—identify as trans. Its press release says that the agency’s LGBTQ+ veteran care coordinators, who run its LGBTQ Health Program, would not be affected by the changes. But Pete Hegseth, Trump’s secretary of defense, has been vocal about his ire toward the LGBTQ community and his support for cutting VA health care.
Although the VA has never provided gender-affirming surgeries, it has been able to provide letters in support of veterans seeking them. That’s now on the chopping block.
“It’s infuriating,” a medical professional with the agency, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Mother Jones. “To be honest, I don’t understand how it’s allowed—how are they able to tell providers what they can and cannot treat?”
The announcement follows reporting in the Advocate on a Veterans Health Administration memo with similar provisions circulated on March 14, which rescinded the agency’s 2018 directive establishing health care standards for transgender and intersex veterans. In response to subsequent coverage by National Public Radio, VA press secretary Peter Kasperowicz told NPR that there had been no policy change—but by Saturday night, the agency officially published the memo, which showed otherwise.
Pro-life lawyers claim Poland’s new abortion center breaks federal law– www.lifesitenews.com Source Link Excerpt:
Executive Summary
On March 8, activists from the Abortion Dream Team opened the AboTak “abortion clinic” near the Polish Parliament, where Polish law is now set to be openly violated.
Women seeking abortions at the “clinic” are expected to receive assistance in obtaining illegal abortions – acts that constitute crimes under Polish law (Article 152 § 2 of the Penal Code).
The Ordo Iuris Institute has reported the clinic’s creators to the District Prosecutor’s Office in Warsaw for potentially committing a crime.
The report names Justyna Wydrzyńska, an abortion activist, as one of the suspects. She is currently on trial in the Warsaw-Praga District Court for a similar offense.
Ordo Iuris has also submitted a request to the Warsaw Police Department, seeking information on the extent of police protection offered to the illegal facility.
Judge’s Husband Promotes Lawfare Against Homeschoolers– thefederalist.com Source Link Excerpt:
For too long education experts have failed Wisconsin students. Too often the political left focuses on advancing a progressive narrative instead of simply teaching the basics. Recently, Wisconsin Gov. (and former education superintendent) Tony Evers proposed replacing mothers with “inseminated persons” in state law. Now, Dane County Judge Susan Crawford is running for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Throughout her career she has proudly advanced progressive causes. So it should come as no surprise that her husband, Shawn F. Peters, wrote a controversial book on homeschooling recommending the removal of parents’ right to homeschool their children in Wisconsin by using novel litigation tactics.
Wisconsin voters deserve to know whether Judge Crawford supports her husband’s extreme views on homeschooling. Should any litigation come before her that advances her husband’s extreme legal claims, will she be able to objectively consider the arguments? According to Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction statistics, “home-based” education continues to grow in popularity. While only 966 students were homeschooled during the 1984-85 academic year (0.10 percent), during the 2023-24 academic year almost 30,000 students (3.04 percent) benefited from a homeschool environment.
YouTube Discriminates Against Christian Channel– www.lifenews.com Source Link Excerpt:
Is YouTube discriminating against Christians?
Brendan Carr, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, is raising the alarm about evidence suggesting the tech giant—which has a long history of censorship—has unfairly treated a Christian family TV station.
“[I]n the case of YouTube TV, concerns have been raised alleging that your company has a policy (secret or otherwise) that discriminates against faith-based programming,”?Carr wrote March 7 to Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet, and Neal Mohan, CEO of YouTube. (Alphabet owns Google, which owns YouTube.)
Carr says Great American Media, which is helmed by former Hallmark Channel leader Bill Abbott, drew his attention to YouTube TV’s refusal to host the network. Great American Media, which also includes TV star and outspoken Christian Candace Cameron Bure as chief creative officer, focuses on a range of faith-based and family-friendly content.
“A Is for Abortion.” High School Pushes Leftist Agenda on Women’s History Month– www.lifenews.com Source Link Excerpt:
America’s public high schools are strange places to find displays of the alphabet. Perhaps with plummeting standardized test scores and a substantial increase in English-as-a-second-language students in sanctuary districts, high school educators feel the need to review kindergarten basics. In Fairfax County, Virginia’s West Springfield High School, located just 17 miles from the White House, school administrators and teachers have decorated the history hallway this month with a special, leftist rendition of the alphabet.
The display, titled “The ABCs to ME,” is decorated with the school’s colors: a blue background lined with an orange border. Featured in the display is a sign that reads, “A is for Abortion” with an image of a coat hanger with a positive pregnancy test.
This is an Unborn Baby at 22 Weeks. Its Legal to Kill Him in Most States– www.lifenews.com Source Link Excerpt:
Any story about media coverage of abortion in the United States is ultimately an act of frustration. Name the last time a media representative, particularly in the cable universe, showed a baby delivered at 22 weeks of gestation. Or the last time they noted the recent data that nearly 36% of babies born at 22 weeks will survive and 82% will do so at 25 weeks (reports of even better save rates are emerging). How many media outlets share information and stories about the growing range of conditions that are amenable to treatment and can be cured inside the womb, illustrating the separate personhood and “patienthood” of these little ones? Images and accounts like these should be commonplace today, but on 24-hour-a-day networks like CNN and MSNBC they are nowhere to be seen.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says 83% of USAID programs canceled – KYMA Source Link Excerpt:
83% of United States Agency for International Development (USAID) programs have been canceled, according to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
In a social media post Monday, Secretary Rubio said after a six-week review, 5,200 contracts have been canceled, and the programs “did not serve, and in some cases, even harmed” the national interests of the United States.
Rubio went on to say the remaining 18%, or about 1,000 contracts, will “now be administered more effectively under the State Department.”
However, Rubio did not provide details about which programs had been cut, and which will remain in place.
He also thanked the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and his staff for the “overdue” reforms.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the department will only keep 1,000 USAID programs and canceling 5,200 contracts.
Rubio wrote on X:
After a 6 week review we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID.
The 5200 contracts that are now cancelled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, (and in some cases even harmed), the core national interests of the United States.
In consultation with Congress, we intend for the remaining 18% of programs we are keeping (approximately 1000) to now be administered more effectively under the State Department.
Thank you to DOGE and our hardworking staff who worked very long hours to achieve this overdue and historic reform.

Justice Alito’s USAID dissent is a map for Trump – Salon Source Link Excerpt:
They did not just dissent in the USAID ruling, they dissembled. They lied about both the court record and the district judge, and they drew a map to show Trump how to frustrate the case going forward.
The majority protected the legislature’s role
The Court’s 5-4 majority opinion, in which Justices John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett joined the three liberal justices to narrowly protect Congress’ power of the purse, holding that under Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, since Congress had already appropriated the USAID and it was already signed into law, Trump could not legally freeze it. In other words, a president does not have the power to break, disregard or rewrite laws just because he disagrees with them.
ICE arrests Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia student protests, attorney says – CNN Source Link Excerpt:
A federal judge in New York has blocked any efforts by President Donald Trump’s administration to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist at Columbia University who was arrested Saturday night, until a conference Wednesday, according to court documents.
It’s unclear whether he will appear in court on Wednesday.
“To preserve the Court’s jurisdiction pending a ruling on the petition, Petitioner shall not be removed from the United States unless and until the Court orders otherwise,” the Monday filing said.
Khalil, who helped lead Columbia’s student protest movement demanding a ceasefire in Gaza, was arrested Saturday night by federal immigration authorities who said they were acting on a State Department order to revoke his green card, according to his attorney.
His arrest is the latest escalation by Trump – in what he calls “the first arrest of many to come”–to crack down on pro-Palestinian demonstrations on college campuses, and comes days after he vowed to deport foreign students and imprison “agitators” involved in “illegal protests.”

Although he has not been accused of a crime related to his activism, the US government has indicated that it wants to deport Khalil, who is a legal US resident.
A federal judge in New York said the 30-year-old could not be deported while the court considers a legal challenge brought by his lawyers.

ICE Arrested Legal U.S. Resident for Protesting the Genocide of Palestinians at Columbia – Jezebel Source Link Excerpt:
On Saturday evening, following reports of ICE agents in Columbia University student housing, recent graduate Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in front of his wife, who is eight months pregnant. During Khalil’s time as a student at Columbia, he was a vocal pro-Palestine student activist and leading figure in organizing student encampments to protest Israel’s genocide in Gaza and Columbia’s ties to Israel. Khalil served as a key negotiator with the university during the encampment protests last spring, which drew horrific police violence sanctioned by the university.
ICE officers approached Khalil and his wife, who is an American citizen, at the entrance of their student housing building around 8:30 p.m. on Saturday. The agents reportedly told Khalil, who is Palestinian and graduated in December, that the State Department had revoked his student visa, even though Khalil has a green card and is a legal resident. His wife went to their apartment to retrieve his green card, while Khalil put his lawyer, Amy Greer, on the phone and tried to have the agents speak to her. The agents claimed Khalil’s green card had been revoked, too. When Greer tried to ask why Khalil was being detained, if the agents had a warrant, and also repeated that he has a green card, the agents hung up.
