Lawyers in President Donald Trump's Department of Justice made some "significant" admissions in court on Thursday that could doom its prosecution of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, according to one expert.

The Trump administration has been in an intense legal fight with Abrego Garcia's lawyers since he was deported to El Salvador last year. Courts ruled that the deportation was illegal and ordered Abrego Garcia to be returned to the U.S. Once he returned, the Trump administration charged him with human trafficking. Abrego Garcia's lawyers have argued that the charges are a "vindictive prosecution."

President Donald Trump's niece didn't hold back in an interview on Thursday when discussing the administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Mary Trump, a psychologist and author, has often criticized her uncle's administration and the president himself. During an interview with CNN's Erin Burnett on Thursday, Mary Trump said her uncle's statements about the Epstein files, and the Trump Department of Justice's efforts to obfuscate the files that have been released, show that Trump "has been acting like a guilty man."

Aliya Rahman, a disabled woman with autism from Minneapolis who was severely injured by President Donald Trump's immigration forces in January, claimed on Thursday that she was targeted for removal from the president's State of the Union address.

Rahman attended the address as a guest of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who claimed Rahman was "aggressively handled" while she was escorted out of the House chambers. Rahman was later charged with "unlawful conduct" for allegedly standing in silent protest during the speech, a claim she denied during an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on Thursday.

A damning report about the relationship between Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her right-hand man, Corey Lewandowski, and its impact on the agency sparked outrage among political analysts and observers.

On Thursday, The Atlantic published a report, citing a forthcoming book by NBC News reporter Julia Ainsley about Trump's deportation regime, which found that Noem and Lewandowski's relationship has "warped the agency" into a fiefdom and has caused tensions between DHS and members of the Trump White House. The report included details about how Lewandowski has embedded himself within the agency, and how Noem's seemingly "sociopathic" nature has won her the adoration of President Donald Trump.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court this week, urging the justices to strike down President Donald Trump's executive order dismantling the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of birthright citizenship.

Trump's order would require anyone born in the United States to have U.S. citizen parentage to qualify for citizenship — a dramatic departure from the Constitution, which says that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."

White House insiders are secretly horrified by the power couple running the Department of Homeland Security, according to a new report.

The Atlantic reported on Thursday, citing information from a forthcoming book about Trump's deportation regime from NBC News reporter Julian Ainsley, that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her right-hand man, Corey Lewandowski, have turned DHS into a "dysfunctional fiefdom." The report added that Noem and Lewandowski's romantic relationship, which they both deny, has warped the agency's culture and caused tensions within the West Wing.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) appeared to lose her defiant tone about sharing photos from inside a closed-door deposition with a MAGA influencer on Thursday.

Reporters caught up with Boebert near the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center in New York, where former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared for a closed-door deposition related to her husband's contacts with the disgraced financier and convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein. Earlier in the day, Boebert shared images from inside the deposition with MAGA influencer Benny Johnson, which caused the hearing to be temporarily paused.

The Department of Homeland Security insisted that a blind refugee from Burma who was found dead after being abandoned by agents had no disabilities.

According to Investigate Post, agents dropped off Nurul Amin Shah Alam at a doughnut shop last week, 5 miles away from his home. Buffalo police later found the man dead in the snow.

One of the stars of the U.S. Olympic men's hockey team clapped back at the Trump White House on Thursday after it released a "clearly fake" video with his likeness.

Brady Tkachuk, captain of the Ottawa Senators, told ESPN on Thursday that he "didn't appreciate" the White House sharing an AI-generated video of him from the 4 Nations Face Off last year, where the U.S. and Canadian men's teams fought three times within the first nine seconds of the game. In the doctored video from Thursday, Tkachuk was made to say, "They booed our national anthem, so I had to come out and teach those maple syrup eating f---- a lesson" while "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd played in the background, ESPN reported.
