The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up Carter Page’s case against former FBI officials who oversaw what the government now concedes was an ill-advised attempt to surveil his activities during the 2016 campaign.
The justices rejected the case without comment.
Mr. Page had said the FBI fabricated information to obtain four warrants obtained against him under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, then leaked information to the press.

The Trump administration is making an example out of two former Utah court clerks who attempted to help illegal immigrants sneak out of a courthouse and escape arrest by federal immigration officers and avoid deportation.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Thursday threatened to arrest and prosecute anyone caught helping illegal immigrants in court evade arrest from Immigration and Customs Enforcement following a third incident in which a member of the court has tried to help defendants get away from federal police.
“We’re going to charge those,” Mullin told Fox News Thursday morning when asked about two former Utah state court clerks who are accused of trying to slip an illegal immigrant out of court unbeknownst to ICE.

Death threats continue to plague Department of Homeland Security officers throughout the country, as Immigration and Customs Enforcement recently arrested a Washington man who threatened to kill DHS officials. The suspect, Manuel Lozano, a United States citizen, threatened to shoot the federal law enforcement officers with an AR-15-style rifle during a confrontation in May.
According to DHS, Homeland Security Investigations was in pursuit of an illegal immigrant to be arrested when the suspect fled ICE and drove away in a truck on May 19. The illegal immigrant’s vehicle was later located in a residential area in Yakima, Washington, at the house of Lozano. As agents approached the house, they noticed Lozano, who they said was armed, with a pistol visible.

A federal appeals court has approved of President Trump’s backup tariff plan — at least, for now.
On Thursday, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit extended a block on a lower court ruling striking down the tariffs.
This means that President Trump can keep collecting 10% global tariffs under Section 122 temporarily as the further litigation continues.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin announced Thursday that the Trump administration has located 146,000 unaccompanied migrant children who were trafficked into the United States during the Biden administration and subsequently lost.
During a news conference at the Department of Justice with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and other Trump administration officials, Mullin credited a joint effort between DHS, ICE and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for finding the missing children, which he said President Trump has made a high priority.
Unfortunately, nearly 300,000 minors remain unaccounted for, according to Mullin, although officials continue to search for them.

WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Wednesday rejected a government watchdog’s request for a court order temporarily blocking the Trump administration from forging ahead with a new $1.776 billion settlement fund for compensating people who claim to be victims of a weaponized government.
But the judge ended a hearing by issuing a “fair warning” to President Donald Trump’s administration: “Don’t play possum with this court,” U.S. District Judge Richard Leon told a government attorney.
Leon ruled from the bench in favor of the administration, which argued that the watchdog’s lawsuit is moot because acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told Congress last month that the government is scrapping its plans for the fund. Leon, who was nominated to the bench by Republican President George W. Bush, said he accepts Blanche’s representation for now.
The judge’s refusal to issue a temporary restraining order isn’t the final word on the fate of the government’s “Anti-Weaponization Fund.” Leon said he will consider a separate request by the plaintiffs – Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington – for a preliminary injunction that would block payouts from the fund on a more permanent basis.

A nation cannot simultaneously tolerate mass unlawful entry for years and then pretend it has the infrastructure to reverse it overnight. As angry protests target Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities and political inaction continues in Washington, millions of people inside our borders face a compounding crisis of legal uncertainty. ICE personnel are caught in the crossfire, tasked with executing massive congressional mandates that are running into a wall of legal and logistical realities.
What advocates and politicians on both sides fail to consider is that a significant percentage of recent arrivals may have grounds to challenge the status of “illegal” because many feel that they arrived at the explicit invitation of the federal government. That invitation was implied by the Biden administration through state-sponsored mobile applications, financial assistance, free housing, interstate transit, and various other agency support services upon arrival, shifting the narrative from “illegal” to “undocumented.”
Attempting to retroactively deport millions who were essentially waved through an open door creates an unprecedented constitutional quagmire that will drag out in federal courts for a generation. The reality is that physically, logistically, and financially, we simply cannot remove millions of immigrants, nor can we realistically process them all through our heavily backlogged immigration court system.

Washington — President Trump on Wednesday applauded the latest inflation spike, saying the numbers are “great” and “I love the inflation” because the U.S. “taking out” what he called “millions” of barrels of Iranian oil in the dead of night. The president added that he’s “just announcing today for the first time” that the U.S. is seizing Iranian oil.
Once the conflict is over, Mr. Trump said oil prices and inflation will drop rapidly.

President Donald Trump is reportedly considering a U.S. purchase of the Chagos Islands as part of an effort to secure long-term American control of the strategically vital Diego Garcia military base, according to a report published Sunday by the Telegraph, the latest twist in a years-long dispute involving Britain, Mauritius, and one of Washington’s most important overseas installations.
Citing U.S. officials familiar with the discussions, the Telegraph reported that Trump administration officials have explored whether the United States could acquire the archipelago as an alternative to a plan by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s to transfer sovereignty to Mauritius.
Inflation hit a 3-year high primarily due to rising gas prices, which are primarily driven by the shutting down of the Strait of Hormuz. The Federal Reserve has already revealed there will be no rate cuts at least until 2027.
President Trump’s ongoing deportation campaign will continue after he signed the “Secure America Act.” The act funds both ICE and CPB through 2029, taking funding out of the hands of the courts and the Democrats altogether.

WASHINGTON — Spiking gas prices pushed inflation to its highest level in three years last month, a headache for the Federal Reserve and a potential political challenge for the Trump administration as midterm elections near.
Consumer prices rose 4.2% in May from a year earlier, the Labor Department said Wednesday, up from 3.8% in April and the third straight increase. On a monthly basis, prices rose 0.5% last month, after big gains of 0.6% in April and 0.9% in March.
Rising inflation has soured many Americans on the economy, as the cost of gas, groceries, and other necessities hammer many Americans financially.
Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, core prices rose 2.9% in March from a year earlier, up from 2.8% in April. On a monthly basis, core prices increased a modest 0.2%.

Monday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Fox & Friends,” Trump border czar Tom Homan dismissed efforts by New York State and New York City officials to thwart Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) efforts.
Despite pledges of “zero cooperation,” Homan said there would be an influx of agents in New York City.
“So New York is saying abolish ICE and zero cooperation,” “Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade said. “The governor and mayor are teaming up to make sure that the progress you were making with Eric Adams is going to just disappear. So what’s going to be your approach to New York. You’re going to stay away now?”

Los Angeles’ hotel industry is losing jobs at its fastest pace in a decade outside of the pandemic, raising fresh concerns about the economic fallout from some of the most aggressive minimum wage mandates in the nation.
A new analysis of federal labor data found that Los Angeles County hotels and motels saw their workforce shrink by 1.7% in December 2025 compared to the same month a year earlier, as businesses grappled with rapidly rising labor costs imposed by city and county officials.
The decline comes as Los Angeles prepares to host a series of major international events, including the 2028 Summer Olympics, while hotel operators warn that mounting costs are threatening the industry’s ability to expand and meet future demand.
Wage Mandates Coincide with Sharp Employment Decline
According to an analysis by the Employment Policies Institute (EPI) of newly released U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, the contraction represents the steepest year-over-year decline in Los Angeles County’s hotel industry in a decade, excluding pandemic-related disruptions.
The losses followed a series of government-mandated wage increases.
