A federal appeals court on Thursday cleared the way for the Trump administration to again detain and move toward deporting Mahmoud Khalil, the former Columbia University graduate student who became a face of pro-Palestinian campus protests.

A three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia overturned a lower court order that had sprung Khalil from immigration custody, ruling that the New Jersey federal judge who ordered his release never had authority to hear the case.

In a 2-1 decision, the panel said Khalil’s legal team used the wrong court when they filed a habeas petition to challenge his detention.

Officials said the cash was carried by U.S. citizens of Somali origin flying out of Columbus en route to Minneapolis or Atlanta. The couriers declared the money as required on federal forms.

States that have sanctuary cities protecting illegal aliens and their dangerous criminal element as of February 1 will no longer receive any form of federal funding, President Donald Trump announced Tuesday during an address at the Detroit Economic Club.

The U.S. simply can’t afford to subsidize the millions of illegal aliens currently in the U.S. – especially since many of them are a threat to American citizens, Trump warned:

“Many of those people are murderers. They’re people released from jails, prisons, mental institutions, insane asylums. They’re people that are drug dealers, they’re addicts.”

If states and cities continue to protect people who break U.S. immigration laws, they’ll have to do so without the help of federal funding, Pres. Trump said:

“Starting Feb. 1, we’re not making any payments to sanctuary cities or states having sanctuary cities because they do everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American citizens.”

President Donald Trump suggested during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity that military action against Mexican drug cartels could be coming within the next several weeks.

Trump pointed to recent U.S. military action in the lead-up to the capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, which included more than two-dozen maritime strikes on Venezuelan and Colombian drug-trafficking vessels in the Caribbean and Pacific.

“We’ve knocked out 97% of the drugs coming in by water, and we are going to start now hitting land, with regard to the cartels. The cartels are running Mexico, it’s very sad to watch and see what’s happened to that country,” the president said. Trump also pointed to the cost of drug-trafficking in the United States, which has led to more than 100,000 overdose deaths on a yearly basis.

So many unsavory characters in the Democratic Party to mock, so little time.

Despite being very well-traveled in the United States thanks to stand-up, I have only been to Minnesota once. That trip was just for a weekend and happened almost 15 years ago. I can think of one person I’ve known personally who was born there. The state isn’t really putting itself out there to earn my trust.

What I do know about Minnesota is that it’s cold and full of people who do things that I don’t like. Almost five years ago, I wrote that the United States should look into getting rid of Minnesota. I think we can all agree that my advice should have been heeded.

As recently as early March, mainstream media outlets like The New Yorker published such fawning fluff-pieces as “Tim Walz Might Run for President in 2028 If You Ask Him Nicely.”

After all, with the Dems reeling from the 2024 elections and the abandonment of the white, hetero male vote, for a very brief moment, Walz seemed like the perfect solution: He was, technically speaking, a white, hetero man — but he was effeminate and nonthreatening enough to “pass.”

Virginia’s outgoing Attorney General Jason Miyares quickly agreed to a consent decree to resolve a Justice Department lawsuit filed against the state in late December challenging laws allowing students in the country illegally to qualify for in-state tuition and financial aid at public colleges and universities.

“In a joint court filing, Miyares and lawyers for the Justice Department asked a federal judge to declare the Virginia Dream Act invalid and bar state authorities from enforcing it. If approved, the joint consent decree order would make Virginia the fourth state to scrap its policies that allow eligible undocumented students to pay the lower in-state tuition rate,” Inside Higher Ed reported Jan. 2.

“The joint agreement came just one day after the Trump administration sued Virginia over its in-state tuition policies—the seventh such lawsuit.”

This week, Tim Walz announced that he will not pursue re-election as Minnesota’s governor. After six years in office (including a failed 2024 vice-presidential run alongside Kamala Harris), Walz is stepping away from a state drowning in scandal. The timing is no coincidence.

Under Walz’s watch, Minnesota became ground zero for massive, systemic fraud in welfare and assistance programs. An estimated $9 billion in taxpayer funds — nearly equal to Somalia’s entire GDP — was stolen through fraudulent daycare centers, child nutrition programs, and pandemic relief schemes. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott called Minnesota’s childcare program an “epic failure,” noting that Minnesota’s improper-payment rate is 11 percent compared to Texas’s 0.43 percent.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer demanded Walz account for the fraud and consider resignation. Nearly 500 Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) staffers accused Walz of ignoring warnings and retaliating against whistleblowers. The U.S. Treasury is investigating whether stolen funds were funneled to Islamic terror group Al-Shabaab through hawala networks.

If you are struggling to make ends meet, so much so you rely on government assistance, there should not be extra funds for you to wire out of the country. And if you do have extra funds, “you’re either getting too much or you’re part of” a “conspiracy.”

Sec. Scott Bessent says that the federal government will be banning people from wiring money outside the country if they rely on government assistance. He claims this has become a priority after Somali fraudsters were caught doing just that.

According to Bessent, the government’s “generosity has been taken advantage of.” Those funds were never meant to fund foreign nationals, and there are tons more Americans, including veterans and single mothers, who would benefit from those funds. It’s about time someone in power acknowledged this problem because it needed to end yesterday.

A federal judge in New York blocked the Trump administration from freezing $10 billion in funding for childcare and other social services in five Democrat-led states despite recent revelations of massive fraud perpetrated through fake money laundering daycare operations. 

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) explained that it was pausing the funding because it had “reason to believe” those states were funneling money to people living in the U.S. illegally.

Biden-appointed U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian said the five states — Minnesota, California, Colorado, Illinois, and New York — had met a legal threshold “to protect the status quo” for 14 days while arguments are made in court.

“Federal district court judge rules taxpayers must fund infinite refugee daycare scams,” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller noted.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has introduced a program offering financial rewards to individuals who provide information on fraud in Minnesota’s government benefits programs.

The announcement aims to encourage whistleblowers to share details that could assist ongoing investigations into the misuse of public funds. This initiative is part of broader efforts by the federal government to address financial irregularities in the state.

“We are going to offer whistleblower payments to anyone who wants to tell us the who, what, when, where and how this fraud has been done,” Bessent told Fox News.

The update comes as the administration has surged federal resources to the state to crack down on fraud and illegal immigration. Rewards are intended to cover information related to various aspects of the fraud, including participants, methods, and timelines.

Federal authorities have indicated that such incentives have proven effective in similar cases by prompting individuals to come forward with evidence that might otherwise remain undisclosed.

“The scale and frequency of fraud in Minnesota is staggering, but I fear just the tip of the iceberg.”

Representative Ilhan Omar has been accused of attempting to secure a $1 million earmark in a congressional spending bill for a Somali-led addiction recovery organization that shares an address with a Somali restaurant.

On Monday, lawmakers unveiled a new spending package totaling at least $174 billion. Iowa Senator Joni Ernst said her office found that Omar had earmarked $1,031,000 through the Department of Justice for an organization called Generation Hope MN. The earmark was included alongside funding requests co-led by Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith of Minnesota.

Ernst told Fox News that the earmark was presented as funding for a substance abuse clinic, but her office determined the organization was housed in a restaurant and run by three individuals who share the same residential address.
