Illegal immigration

Recently, I’ve had the opportunity to dig into the secret case files of dozens of illegal alien habeas corpus cases filed in federal district court in Minnesota. The hidden files reveal a judicial system far more broken than you can imagine. The habeas corpus petitions are filed as civil cases on behalf of illegal aliens who are being held in ICE custody in anticipation of their upcoming deportation. The number

From Fox News, Tim Walz pardons illegal alien convicted of armed robbery before ICE deportation to Laos. “Armed robbery.” The headline pretty much covers the story. Minnesota’s Democratic governor on Wednesday pardoned an illegal alien previously convicted of armed robbery before he could be deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Jai Vang, an illegal alien from Laos, was convicted of aiding and abetting and armed robbery in Hennepin County

“Begs the question” does not mean “raises the question.” “Imply” does not mean “infer.” “Affect” does not mean “effect.” “Discrete” does not mean “discreet.” “Flaunt” does not mean “flout.” See if you can spot the error in Mike Davis’s Fox News column “Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Democrats’ patron saint of human traffick”: Kilmar Armando Ábrego García, a Salvadoran alleged criminal, blatantly disregarded our laws by entering the United States illegally.

From the New York Post, NJ Gov. Mikie Sherrill slammed for Memorial Day ‘stunt’ at Newark ICE facility as tense protests rage. Sherill is a state governor, not a federal official. What expectation should there have been for a state official showing up unannounced to a federal facility, on a holiday, and demanding entry? The Post reports, Sherrill was denied access to the detention center Monday after several of her

The Trump administration is taking the position that federal law does not just permit the government to detain illegal immigrants, it requires such detention. This position has inspired outrage on the left, and circuits that have addressed the issue have split. So it is on to the Supreme Court. The question is a tricky one, involving interpretation of a law that is not particularly well drafted. That is probably due,

Liz Collin caught up with Savanah Hernandez for an interview about the assault she suffered at the Whipple Federal Building by the family that flays together — “suburban dad” Chris Ostroushko, suburban mom DeYanna Ostroushko, and whistle blower Paige Ostroushko (video below). The family that flays together has now been indicted by a Minnesota federal grand jury. The video is posted at Alpha News with this accompanying story by Liz

The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports, Gov. Tim Walz eyes his future as agenda stalls, influence wanes at Capitol. Huh? The report continues, Tim Walz’s final legislative session has the feel of a governor on the way out. His agenda is sputtering, his clout is fading and his focus is shifting as he figures out what, exactly, he will do next. To the casual observer, the star of Tim Walz has

From the New York Post, Mexican migrant in SoCal hit with $1.82M fine for living in the US illegally: ‘Leave now or face consequences’ I do hope this headline is 100 percent accurate. The unnamed “Southern California woman” is described as follows, Her immigration attorney, William Menard, said the woman has no criminal history, no public safety issues, and has spent years complying with immigration authorities while applying for a

That is what the BBC highlighted, anyway: You really can’t hate the @BBC enough. For context, Abdullah Albadri, armed with two knives and carrying a “martyrdom note,” tried to storm the Israeli embassy in London, told police he wanted to die “for the glory of God,” and was then charged with preparing a terrorist attack. pic.twitter.com/RkzhE6hQo1 — Yehuda Teitelbaum (@chalavyishmael) April 21, 2026 In the linked story, the BBC describes

The April 11 protest conducted by the “resistance” at the Whipple Federal Building in the Twin Cities culminated in an assault on TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez. The assault was captured on video. Among the perpetrators were “suburban dad” Chris Ostroushko and suburban daughter Paige. Suburban mom DeYanna Ostroushko was in the mix as well. I call them the family that flays together. Chris was of course featured in the January

The Star Tribune is the dominant media organ in Minnesota. It serves the interests of the left in the fashion of the New York Times in the national press, acting as the public relations arm of the Democratic Party and its aligned interest groups. The Star Tribune, however, is something of a joke. It adamantly supports illegal immigration and opposes the enforcement of immigration law, though it doesn’t say so

For quite a few years now, Europe’s establishment has doggedly labeled anyone who isn’t on board with mass Islamic immigration as “far right.” You could be a socialist, but if you don’t like millions of Middle Easterners swarming into your country, you are “far right.” The point is to exclude opposition to mass third world immigration from public discourse, but it hasn’t worked. Anti-immigration parties are now among the most

As the Supreme Court deliberates on the case that will determine the law regarding birthright citizenship, it should keep these numbers in mind: Nearly 10% of US births in 2023 came from illegal immigrant mothers, according to newly published research. Pew Research Center revealed that 320,000 of the 3.6 million babies born in the US that year were anchor babies who would not qualify for birthright citizenship if President Trump’s

A week after Savanah Hernandez’s close encounter of the violent kind with “suburban dad” Chris Ostroushko, the Star Tribune has finally gotten around to reporting “Whipple protesters accused [sic] of shoving Turning Point commentator on video are under investigation.” Whipple protesters accused of shoving Turning Point commentator are under criminal investigation https://t.co/gn2im6rp0W — The Minnesota Star Tribune (@StarTribune) April 18, 2026 Love that “accused.” When you get around to reporting

I’m marking time until the Star Tribune shares the details of the assault on TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez at the Whipple Federal Building this past weekend. I may run out of material before the Star Tribune gets around to it, but today we have enough for a few more days at least. Today we have a video analysis of the assault. I’m talking about the Ostroushko family, led by “suburban
