One member of the Supreme Court of the United States' (SCOTUS) liberal minority didn't hold back in blasting both her conservative colleagues and President Donald Trump's administration.

On Thursday, SCOTUS ruled in favor of the Trump administration regarding the deportation of immigrants to countries other than the one in which they were born.

District 'alarmed' after ICE agents caught on video urinating on school grounds

Officials at the Ruben Salazar High School in the Southern California city of Pico Rivera were horrified after footage appeared to show an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent urinating in public on the premises of the facility.

According to The New York Times, "The sight of federal agents alone was alarming on the morning of June 17, a Tuesday, less than two weeks after the Trump administration sent the National Guard to the Los Angeles region to protect federal officials who had ramped up their raids targeting undocumented immigrants. Then, the agents, some wearing fatigues, emerged from the vehicles. At least eight of them ducked behind storage containers on campus, some peering over their shoulders. In the shadows, one at a time, the men appeared to relieve themselves, based on footage captured by overhead security cameras."

Top Trump DOJ prosecutor under investigation for possible hush money scheme

Alina Habba, the former defense attorney for President Donald Trump currently serving as his top federal prosecutor in New Jersey, has been under professional investigation for a year in a matter that could strip her license to practice law, NOTUS reported Thursday.

The issue stems from a widely-reported incident in which Alice Bianco, a waitress at Trump's Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club, reported sexual harassment by a fellow employee.
