A major ruling was handed down on Monday, allowing the Trump administration to access personal data from people who are known to be in the United States illegally, according to a new report.

The available data is limited to six categories: citizenship, immigration status, address, phone number, date of birth, and Medicaid ID, Politico reported.

Trump uses ethnic cleansing term as he flip-flops on mass deportation

Facing backlash from his base over an announced, possible exemption for undocumented immigrants working in agriculture and hospitality, President Donald Trump has entirely reversed course, now calling for the mass “remigration” of all undocumented individuals. The term “remigration” is closely associated with ethnic cleansing and far-right European movements, including the neo-fascist political party backed by both Trump and his vice president.

In a wild rant steeped in fascist and ethnonationalist rhetoric, Trump baselessly attacked the Biden administration and characterized all undocumented immigrants as takers costing the country billions—despite the fact that the undocumented population is a net economic positive for the United States.

Trump's cadre of 'abject morons' thrashed as they 'pearl-clutch' over Epstein revelations

A progressive YouTuber issued a fiery smackdown on Tuesday for the "abject morons" who lent their massive platforms to President Donald Trump during the 2024 campaign following the latest Jeffrey Epstein files release from the Department of Justice.

Brian Tyler Cohen, host of the podcast "No Lie," reacted in a new video to the DOJ's release of more than 3 million new Epstein files last week, some of which paint Trump's relationship with the disgraced financier and convicted sex criminal in a compromising light. Some of the files allegedly revealed Epstein sharing information about Trump with foreign leaders, and communicating with several wealthy and influential people about how to get the president on their side.

Expert aghast at Trump admin's scheme to turn legal immigration system into a 'trap'

A new report about the Trump administration's "assault on legal immigration" left one expert aghast on Tuesday.

President Donald Trump campaigned on deporting all illegal immigrants in the U.S. Since taking office, he has empowered the Department of Homeland Security to take active measures to achieve that goal, including setting a quota of 3,000 arrests per month, according to reports. But Trump's plan also appears to include turning the legal immigration process into a trap, The New Yorker reported.

Rio Grande Valley threatens to flip Trump region to Democratic control

President Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda is devastating the Rio Grande Valley economy, threatening to reverse Republican electoral gains in the traditionally Democratic region — which Trump had flipped. ICE raids targeting construction sites have arrested framers, drywallers, and stucco crews, crippling the building industry. Ronnie Cavazos, president of the South Texas Builders Association, warned the raids "will put us out of business if it continues." Mario Guerrero, executive director of the association, predicted: "The Valley will never be red again. At least not anytime soon." Construction, retail, real estate, and hospitality sectors are collapsing as the undocumented workforce that anchors the economy faces deportation. An NBC News poll shows 60 percent of Americans disapprove of Trump's immigration handling. About 23 percent of Texas construction workers are undocumented, with Rio Grande Valley's percentage significantly higher.
