President Donald Trump’s deputies have persuaded more than 7,000 migrants to self-deport, at a savings of roughly $16,000 per person, according to The Atlantic. 3,000 self-deporting migrants have left the country, and more are expected, the article noted: I checked with half a dozen or so immigration attorneys to see if they have clients considering the administration’s offer. No takers yet, they said. “I have a feeling that it will start happening soon,” Jonathan Ryan, an attorney in Texas who represents asylum seekers and refugees, told me. “People are in shock right now, but I suspect the next step will…

Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Weeknight,” Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) accused President Donald Trump of lying about the amount of damage done in Iran as a result of the U.S. military strikes. Castro said, “First, let’s consider the context in how we got here.  We had an agreement with Iran to contain their nuclear weapons program. That agreement was put in place during President Obama’s presidency. When Donald Trump became president, he took us out of that agreement. So at that point, it became harder to know how quickly they were enriching uranium and how close they were to developing a…

Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sued the entire federal district court bench in Maryland on Tuesday evening over an order blocking deportations of criminal aliens. The lawsuit was filed after the US District Court for the District of Maryland issued an order that required the clerk to automatically enter an injunction against removing any illegal alien that challenges their deportation and files a habeas petition. “This lawsuit involves yet another regrettable example of the unlawful use of equitable powers to restrain the Executive. Specifically, Defendants have instituted an avowedly automatic injunction against the federal government, issued outside the context…

Iran’s rubber-stamp parliament greenlit legislation on Wednesday banning the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) from working with the Iranian government, including helping inspect and ensure the safety of nuclear facilities. The IAEA is an agency under the greater United Nations network. It is tasked with ensuring compliance of international law on nuclear development, non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, and aiding countries seeking peaceful nuclear development. The body approved a resolution on July 12 condemning Iran, for the first time in 20 years, for violating international legal standards on nuclear development. Its director-general, Rafael Grossi, told the IAEA board this month that…

On Wednesday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Elizabeth Vargas Reports,” Rep. Laura Gillen (D-NY) said that the state of the city of Chicago under the leadership of Mayor Brandon Johnson is a demonstration that “socialism doesn’t work.” Host Elizabeth Vargas said, “I think we only have to look at, for example, the great city of Chicago to see what happened to that progressive mayor who was elected there…has abysmal approval ratings there. It’s been, according to many people who live in Chicago, a bit of a disaster.” Gillen responded, “Yeah, listen, look, socialism doesn’t work. We need to lower costs for Americans,…

On Tuesday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “On Balance,” Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL) stated that while we still need a total assessment on the impact of the American strikes in Iran, “The world is safer” due to them and having a ceasefire now helps the push to strengthen and expand the Abraham Accords. Schneider said that with the strike, “The jury’s still out. I think — I have said very clearly — and, to your point earlier, if you read my statement on Saturday night, the first thing I did was praise the military. They ran a flawless attack on Fordow, Natanz,…

Mark Rutte was referring to the US president’s on-camera ‘F-bomb’ over Israel and Iran NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has rushed to defend US President Donald Trump’s recent expletive-laden rant about Iran and Israel as merely “daddy” using “strong language.”Trump on Tuesday lashed out at both countries for allegedly breaching a Washington-brokered ceasefire, telling reporters before departing for the NATO summit in the Hague that West Jerusalem and Tehran have “been fighting so long and so hard that they do not know what the f**k they are doing.” The outburst came hours after he announced the truce, which was reportedly broken…

The Iranian regime has just confirmed what the corporate media desperately tried to hide: President Trump was right — again. The Gateway Pundit previously reported on Sunday that the deputy political director of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), Hassan Abedini, downplayed the devastating U.S. air campaign, claiming the targeted nuclear sites had been “evacuated a while ago.” According to Abedini, Iran “didn’t suffer a major blow because the materials had already been taken out.” Then, CNN and other far-left outlets reported preliminary assessments from U.S. intelligence suggest Iran’s nuclear program was delayed by a mere few months—not “obliterated” as…
