The administration has been clear that its priorities are violent criminals, but some aliens don't want to risk arrest anyway. Others believe that it's only a matter of time before ICE catches them, so they want to leave before they're forced out.

Yeah, basically any foreign national that has voiced support for Hamas or some other radical group is being told their time in the U.S. is up. Here's Secretary of State Marco Rubio last week.

Rubio said that the green cards or visas of about 300 students have been revoked so far. These are students such as Syrian national Mahmoud Khalil, who led pro-Hamas protests at Columbia University, or Turkish national Rumisa Ozturk, whose visa was revoked after the State Department found she, quote, engaged in activities in support of Hamas. Those two have been headline news in many outlets.

The White House is urging New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik to stay in the House to preserve Republicans' slim majority and help President Trump's America First agenda. Stefanik cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee back in January, but never reached a full Senate vote.

Trump praised Stefanik as absolutely fantastic on True Social, citing her leadership value over risking her seat in a special election. Speaker Mike Johnson praised Stefanik as a devoted patriot and offered her a leadership position in the House. Her replacement pick for U.N. ambassador has not yet been named.

What's going on here? Well, at some level, it's legal payback. So on Monday, Trump signed an executive order targeting the law firm Jenner & Block. The order is similar to a few others he signed in recent weeks. It blocks the firm from entering federal buildings and revokes its attorney's security clearances. It also bars federal agencies from contracting with the firm.

The president spoke about these orders this week. Here's what he said.

A federal judge blocked one of these Trump orders earlier this month. That one targeted Perkins Coie, the Clinton-tied law firm at the center of the Russian collusion conspiracy in 2016. The judge in that case is Beryl Howell. She was appointed by Barack Obama, and she called Trump's order unlawful and a violation of the First Amendment. So what's behind this?

Why is the president going after these particular firms? Well, they all have deep ties to the Democratic Party and Trump's top antagonists. In fact, Trump's latest order singles out Andrew Weissman. He was a partner at Jenner & Block from 2021 to 2022. But before that, he was a top deputy for special counsel Robert Mueller.

Weissman was suspected to have really driven forward the investigation into the bogus Russia collusion narrative. Now, these orders don't appear to be final, as in Trump will negotiate with the law firms if they come to the table. Here's Trump last week.

and make a deal is what Paul Weiss did. That's another law firm with deep ties to the Democratic Party. To avoid sanctions, Paul Weiss agreed to make several commitments, including $40 million worth of pro bono work for causes the White House supports. A lot of free labor right there.
