Judge Warns Trump Admin of ‘Consequences’ for Deporting Venezuelans Against His Orders.

A Barack Obama-appointed U.S. District Court judge who has tried to block the deportation of Venezuelan gang members has threatened the Trump administration with “consequences” if it ignores his orders. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who initially ordered the return of over 250 individuals deported to El Salvador, is pressing for compliance with his directives.

When the ruling was issued, the administration appealed, asserting that the presidential actions were beyond judicial review and noting that the deportation flights had already left U.S. airspace.

Judge Boasberg required the administration to provide specific flight details, including departure and landing times. However, the Department of Justice (DOJ) argued that providing such information would interfere with executive functions and expose sensitive negotiations with other countries. Despite the extended deadline set by the judge, the DOJ maintained its stance, disputing the court’s requests.

In its appeal, the Trump administration argued that the district court’s nationwide injunction against the use of the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act to deport illegals is judicial overreach, citing the President’s authority to protect national security. The administration highlighted the connections between the Venezuelan government and the deported individuals, particularly with members of the gang Tren de Aragua, operating as a significant threat.

While it is unclear what “consequences” Boasberg is threatening, he could, in theory, find members of the administration in contempt for defying his orders. However, President Trump—who has called for Boasberg’s impeachment—could issue pardons for any such charges, creating a constitutional impasse.

Latinos Back Trump’s Deportation Push.

At a recent city council meeting in the predominantly Hispanic city of Hialeah, Florida, only three residents voiced opposition to a partnership with the federal government to deport illegal aliens. Even though three-quarters of the population are foreign-born, most agree with President Donald J. Trump’s tougher immigration policies.

This reflects growing support for Trump among Hispanic voters, who shifted right in the 2024 election. This change is seen as partly motivated by perceptions that stricter border controls are necessary.

Frank Ayllon, a Miami resident, expressed that while some feel betrayed by these policies, they are necessary. “I feel like a lot of these people are taking it very personal. And it’s not personal. It’s just that you’ve got to understand that this has been an open border for many years,” he said.

In the broader political landscape, Trump’s appeal in Florida has been buoyed by his stance on opposing socialist regimes, attracting support from communities that fled such governments. In the 2024 elections, Trump succeeded in winning Miami-Dade County and making gains in areas with significant Hispanic populations, such as Seminole and Osceola counties.

Hispanics have shown substantial support for mass deportations of illegals. A poll published last year revealed that around 40 percent of Latinos supported deporting all illegal aliens from the United States. Nearly half supported building a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico.

Vance: ‘Importing Cheap Labor’ Has Made the West ‘Lazy.’

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance argues that importing cheap foreign labor through mass immigration has led to declining productivity and economic stagnation in the West. Speaking at a summit of venture capitalists hosted by Andreesen Horowitz on Tuesday, the Vice President stated the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom are “addicted to cheap labor,” which has fueled over 40 years of economic policy failures.

“I’d say that if you look in nearly every country, from Canada to the UK, that imported large amounts of cheap labor, you’ve seen productivity stagnate,” Vance told technology industry investors attending the summit. He continued: “That’s not a total happenstance. I think that the connection is very direct.”

Vance contends that high levels of immigration in Britain and the United States have caused both countries’ workforces and innovators to become lazy, leading to plummeting productivity.

TARIFFS.

The Vice President also defended President Donald J. Trump’s tariff policies, stating that the trade measures are a “necessary tool to protect our jobs and our industries from other countries.”

“When you erect a tariff wall around a critical industry like auto manufacturing and you combine that with advanced robotics and lower energy costs and other tools that increase the productivity of U.S. labor, you give American workers a multiplying effect,” Vance said. “Now that, in turn, allows firms to make things here at a price-competitive basis.”

Starting April 2, the United States will impose reciprocal tariffs on nations that have placed high trade barriers on American goods.

Trump Suspends Federal Funding for Catholic Mass Migration NGO.

President Donald J. Trump has suspended funding initially allocated to a New York nonprofit by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the former Biden government. Catholic Migration Services (CMS) was set to receive over $293,000 to provide naturalization services for immigrants. The grant, effective November 22, 2024, was intended to extend until September 2026.

CMS, which offers a range of services beyond naturalization, provides free legal assistance—including deportation defense—to illegal immigrants in New York. The mission statement of the nongovernmental organization (NGO) emphasizes that it aims to “advance equality and social justice in a changing and diverse population.” Notably, CMS operates four legal divisions, including Removal Defense and Naturalization teams—aimed at supporting illegal immigrants facing legal proceedings.

“CMS previously shared federal funding with other nonprofits to help lawful permanent residents become citizens. However, the Department of Homeland Security has recently frozen this program,” CMS said in response to the funding suspension. The group added: “In addition to offering various civil legal services to low-income New Yorkers, CMS also assists immigrants who have valid legal claims in removal proceedings.”

The funding suspension comes as the Trump administration aims to curb financial support to nonprofits that promote mass immigration. CMS has criticized the Trump administration for its immigration policies, which they claim instill fear within immigrant communities. The organization describes these policies as an “assault on immigrant communities.”

In previous funding allocations, the Biden government had also provided $1.2 million to the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, an organization focused on changing the U.S. immigration enforcement system. Both CMS and similar groups aim to naturalize migrants and encourage political participation, potentially influencing electoral outcomes.

Police Forcefully Clear Theater Occupied by Hundreds of Migrants for Months.

Police have used batons and tear gas to clear a theater that hundreds of illegal migrants had been occupying for months after being invited in and then refusing to leave. Paris police emptied the building of the illegal squatters on March 18 after months of occupation, meeting stiff resistance from both the migrants and their activist supporters.

Located in the center of Paris, France, around 450 young migrants decided to make the Gaîté Lyrique theater their home after being invited into the building in mid-December. When police arrived at the venue, activists attempted to form a human chain to prevent them from entering but were pushed back by officers who used tear gas.

The entire ordeal began after around 250 migrants were invited to take part in a pro-migrant conference involving academics and far-left activists. However, the number of migrants soon increased to over 450, with those who run the theater noting just weeks into the occupation that it could lead to the entire venue going bankrupt.

The theater management said that while the occupation was ongoing, no revenue could be made from performances, and the migrants had potentially cost the theater hundreds of thousands of euros in lost revenue. Local businesses also complained of losing money due to the migrants.

Newsom Needs Extra $3B for Health Program Swamped by Illegals.

California Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is once again seeking a multi-billion loan from his state’s general fund to cover Medicaid costs that have been sent soaring by the state’s expansion of healthcare coverage to illegal immigrants. The new $2.8 billion general fund loan request comes on the heels of a $3.4 billion request to cover an earlier shortfall in Medi-Cal, the state’s major healthcare program.

In response to allegations that his administration’s aid to illegal immigrants is responsible for skyrocketing state healthcare costs, Gov. Newsom obfuscated and claimed that rising pharmaceutical prices and increased enrollment in Medi-Cal are also significant contributors to the deficit. However, other states that have extended healthcare coverage to illegals are experiencing similar cost overruns.

Republican lawmakers in California are criticizing the state’s financial strategies, attributing the shortfall to unsound policy decisions. They note that even former Governor Jerry Brown (D-CA) did not expand Medi-Cal to all illegal immigrants, on fiscal grounds.

Last year, California became the first state to offer Medicaid to all low-income adults aged 26 to 49 regardless of immigration status. State data indicates that approximately 1.6 million illegal immigrants and 15 million residents are currently enrolled in the program.

The National Pulse has previously reported that the extension in Democrat-run states of government services—including healthcare—to illegal immigrants has placed severe strain on state and local budgets. The Governor J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) administration in Illinois is under investigation after a state audit report found that Democrat officials underestimated the cost of healthcare provided to illegals. In total, the audit report found Pritzker has spent $1.6 billion taxpayer dollars since 2020 on illegal immigrant healthcare.

Trump’s Troop Deployments Have Transformed Border Security: Patrol Chief.

The chief of San Diego’s Border Patrol has acknowledged that President Donald J. Trump’s move to send the military to support border control efforts has been a “force multiplier” and is already showing results. Jeffrey Stalnaker, acting Chief Patrol Agent for the San Diego Sector, noted that military personnel presence had enhanced the work of border agents.

The operation sees Army, Marines, and Navy service members supporting U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents. Recent CBP data indicates that border apprehensions in February reached levels not seen since 2000, with 30,000 encounters recorded. This contrasts sharply with the over 130,000 encounters reported in the same month in 2023 and 2024.

Last month, Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks reported that illegal crossings had dropped as much as 94 percent under the current Trump administration.

Stalnaker attributes these developments to the military presence, which allows for swift agent deployment to law enforcement events. Specifically, Task Force Sapper, comprising nearly 500 Marines, has focused on fortifying existing barriers with additional protection, including strategically placing razor wire.

The Marines, supported by companies of Army engineers and military police from Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, are engaged in surveillance and detection along stretches of the border. While not directly intervening in crossings, these troops serve as a vital observational network, freeing CBP agents to prioritize response and apprehension efforts.

Trump’s CBP Awards First Border Wall Contract of Second Term.

United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has allocated close to $70 million to Granite Construction Co. to expand the southern border wall, marking the first such contract during President Donald J. Trump‘s second term. The plan involves constructing an additional seven miles of the barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border in Hidalgo County, Texas. This development was announced Saturday by CBP, which emphasized the aim of addressing “critical openings” in the wall, not fully completed during Trump’s first term.

The focus of the new construction is a section of the Rio Grande Valley, identified as a frequent entry point for illegal immigrant crossings and a corridor for smuggling activities, including drugs and human trafficking. CBP has articulated the importance of this expansion for aiding the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) efforts to curb illegal activities at the border.

Joe Biden had halted funding for the border wall, a move now reversed with this latest contract. Kristi Noem, Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary, confirmed that construction commenced on Sunday. In a video posted to social media while in Arizona, Noem stated, “Everybody, I’m here in Arizona, and right at this spot you can see where the border wall ends.” She further announced the commencement of “seven new miles of construction,” emphasizing a commitment to “make America safe again.”

Granite Construction Co., based in California, has engaged in numerous government projects in the past.

Conor McGregor Raises Ireland Being ‘Overrun’ by Illegals at White House.

Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor visited the White House on St. Patrick’s Day. McGregor was set to meet President Donald J. Trump, who often attends UFC events and counts UFC president Dana White as a close friend and supporter.

At a press conference where White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt introduced him, he said the “illegal immigration racket” is ravaging Ireland, with “rural towns in Ireland that have been overrun in one swoop” and the native Irish reduced to a minority.

“What is going on in Ireland is a travesty,” the mixed martial arts star said, warning Irish Americans must be made aware of what is happening to their ancestral homeland because there “will be no place to come home and visit” if the country’s issues are not addressed. Leavitt confirmed that McGregor would engage with U.S. officials throughout the day.

McGregor has previously expressed a desire to run for President of Ireland this October, pledging to bring the “charlatans” in the European Union member’s legislature to heel. However, the Irish presidency is relatively weak, performing largely ceremonial functions while the Prime Minister, or Taoiseach, draws his mandate from the legislature and runs the government.

The Irish political class also tightly controls who is allowed to run for President, and McGregor would need the support of a minimum number of legislators or local government bodies to make the ballot.

The 43 Nations Mentioned in Trump’s New Travel Ban.

President Donald J. Trump‘s administration is reportedly preparing to broaden a travel ban, affecting 43 countries categorized into three levels of perceived security threat. Draft plans suggest citizens from 11 nations, including Afghanistan, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria, would face a complete entry ban, having been placed on the “red” list. Meanwhile, the “orange” list, containing 10 countries including Belarus, Haiti, Myanmar, Pakistan, and Russia, would require citizens to undergo in-person interviews for visa eligibility.

Across the third level, the “yellow” list, there are 22 countries, primarily located in Africa. These nations have been granted a 60-day timeframe to enhance their security measures, with failure to do so potentially resulting in reclassification to the more restrictive lists. This move follows an executive order signed two months earlier by President Trump, instructing officials to pinpoint countries with inadequate vetting systems.

The White House has emphasized that no definitive decision has been made regarding the final implementation of the proposed travel restrictions. The administration states that the lists are still under review and adjustments could be made based on further diplomatic engagements and assessments of security practices. The draft proposal represents an extension of President Trump’s longstanding focus on national security and immigration vetting processes.

The proposal is seeing pushback from far-left open-borders advocacy groups and is expected to spur legal intervention by federal courts. The administration, however, maintains that the aim of the proposed measures is to safeguard the nation by ensuring proper vetting of foreign nationals entering the United States.
