What did the federal judge rule about Trump's birthright citizenship order?
A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Trump's executive order that would end birthright citizenship for children of non-citizens. The ruling comes after a lawsuit filed by four states arguing the order violates the 14th Amendment. Signed on Inauguration Day, the order was set to take effect February 19th and could impact hundreds of thousands of people. The Trump administration says it will appeal the ruling.
ICE agents in Boston are cracking down on criminal aliens. Today, the agency arrested a handful of migrants, including MS-13 gang members and murder suspects. It's all part of the Trump administration's mass deportation efforts. Fox News was there for the ride-along and reports that ICE agents arrested individuals released under sanctuary policies, with officials vowing to track down offenders. One of their first stops found a Haitian gang member that ICE says has 17 recent criminal convictions. The suspect made a point of cursing Trump and thanking former presidents Biden and Obama.
— Trump, you feel me? Yo, Biden, forever, bro. Thank Obama for everything that he did for me, bro.
— Acting field director Patricia Hyde says the agency is focused on removing significant public safety threats and will continue doing its job despite sanctuary policies.
Today was a good day. Today we took several significant public safety threats out of our communities. Unfortunately, a lot were released by sanctuary policies, but we're here to tell the Commonwealth and the rest of the country that we're going to find them whether they're released or not.
How is ICE addressing public safety threats in Boston?
So far, nationwide ICE has arrested over 460 illegal immigrants this week, targeting those with violent criminal histories first. The administration continues to ramp up deportation operations across the country.
Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, has cleared a key procedural hurdle in his confirmation bid. The debate-ending motion passed 51 to 49, with Senator Susan Collins voting against and Mitch McConnell in favor, setting a final vote for tomorrow night. Hegseth's confirmation has been clouded by allegations of past infidelity and drinking, the latter of which he denies. Critics, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, argue he's unqualified, while supporters say he'll challenge Pentagon woke policies. The former Fox News host and Army vet has pledged to abstain from alcohol if confirmed.
What is the status of Pete Hegseth's confirmation as Secretary of Defense?
Pro-life activists convicted under the Biden administration's FACE Act will reportedly soon see presidential pardons. Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olihan has the exclusive.
President Donald Trump is expected to issue pardons for pro-life activists convicted under the Biden administration's FACE Act within days. Sources say that the pardons are a priority for the administration, offering relief to activists currently serving prison sentences for protests at abortion clinics in Tennessee, Washington, D.C., and New York. Some of those imprisoned have already served over a year, with sentences ranging from several months to years. Trump has called the prosecutions politically motivated, while some Republican lawmakers like Senator Josh Hawley have pushed for its repeal. Here's Hawley urging President Trump to turn the chapter on this dark period of our history.
Are pro-life activists receiving presidential pardons?
I urge President Trump now from this floor to pardon these Americans unjustly persecuted, unjustly prosecuted, unjustly condemned. I urge him to pardon them and to provide once again the moral clarity and moral leadership for which this country is known.
