The dispute over President Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda has reached the impeachment debate. Representative Al Green’s effort raises a question that goes beyond whether Americans favor more deportations: When does the way an administration enforces immigration law become grounds for removing a president? House lawmakers rejected the effort. That establishes its immediate legislative outcome, but…
An Analysis of the SCOTUS Ruling on Third-Country Removals
On July 3, in a 7–2 decision, the Supreme Court lifted a Massachusetts court injunction that had required at least 15 days' notice and an opportunity to contest deportation to a third country. This injunction, issued by Judge Brian Murphy, was specifically designed to prevent hasty or potentially dangerous removals. The unsigned high court order…
Reflecting on the South Sudan Deportations
The Trump administration recently carried out the deportation of Asian immigrants to South Sudan—a nation torn apart by decades of brutal civil war and widely regarded as one of the most dangerous and unstable regions on the planet. According to a report by Politico, this controversial move may have been in direct violation of an…
Tattoos, Truth, and Discernment
In a time when images can be edited with the swipe of a finger, and truth can be twisted into something barely recognizable, we are reminded just how critical discernment is — not only as citizens, but especially as Christians. The story of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father of three wrongly deported to El…
Debunking the Myths About Kilmar Abrego Garcia
In the age of misinformation, rumors have a nasty habit of snowballing into “facts.” One of the more persistent ones floating around is that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was deemed a gang leader and human trafficker by two judges. Let’s break that down and separate truth from fiction. Claim #1: “Two judges found him to be…
Kicking Out the Bad Guys — The Right Way
So yesterday, the Trump team got it right — they deported 17 known gang members back to El Salvador using basic, no-frills, by-the-book immigration enforcement. No legal gymnastics. No invoking dusty wartime laws. Just using the tools we already have in the toolbox — the same tools every administration has had at its disposal for…
Free Speech Isn’t Terrorism — But Supporting Terrorism Absolutely Is
In today’s political circus, it’s getting harder and harder to separate what’s real from what’s just noise. But when the federal government arrests a foreign student near Boston, accuses her of supporting Hamas, and revokes her visa, it’s not just another Twitter argument. This time, it’s serious — and it deserves an honest, careful look.…
Impeachment Is Not the Answer: Why Chief Justice Roberts Is Right and Trump Is Wrong
It’s not every day that a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court steps into the political arena to rebuke a sitting president—especially one from the same party that appointed him. But that’s exactly what happened when Chief Justice John Roberts responded to President Trump’s call to impeach U.S. District Judge James Boasberg. Trump’s demand came…
Wrong Tool for the Job: Why the Alien Enemies Act Was Misapplied
Yesterday, I wrote an article arguing that the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) was the wrong legal tool to deport members of Tren de Aragua (TdA)—a position that my fellow conservative over at The Conservative TAKE strongly disagrees with. You can read his counterargument here. While he raises some valid points, his overall argument is fundamentally…
Trump’s Deportation Play: Right Goal, Wrong Move
A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Trump’s attempt to use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, and honestly? It’s not surprising. While deporting violent criminals should be a top priority, using an obscure wartime law to do so was a mistake—legally, politically, and…
