A college student heading home for the holidays was instead picked up by immigration authorities and deported to Honduras despite a court order specifying she couldn't be sent there, her attorney said.

Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, a 19-year-old freshman at Babson College, made it through security at Boston Logan International Airport on Nov. 20 when she was informed of an issue with her boarding pass, her attorney, Todd Pomerleau, said, according to The Associated Press. She was detained by immigration authorities and subsequently shipped to Texas, before being sent to Honduras, a country she left at just 7 years old.

New reporting shows Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth may have violated U.S. and international law by ordering a follow-up attack on two survivors in the administration's controversial missile strikes on alleged drug smugglers.

President Donald Trump's Pentagon chief ordered the Sept. 2 strike off the Trinidad coast, but drone footage showed two survivors clinging to the wreckage after the smoke cleared – and the Washington Post reported that Hegseth gave a second verbal directive to "kill everybody."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly delivered an order in the first attack on a suspected drug boat that lawmakers have blasted as excessive and "blatantly illegal."

President Donald Trump's Pentagon chief ordered a missile attack on the boat Sept. 2 off the Trinidad coast, but intelligence analysts and military leaders watching drone footage of the strike realized after the smoke cleared there were two survivors clinging to the wreckage – and the Washington Post reported that Hegseth gave another verbal directive.

President Donald Trump made a rare social media post on X Friday in support of a conservative candidate running for president, but his language in the post – along with the rare outing on X instead of his own social media platform Truth Social – has left many wondering if Trump actually wrote the post himself.

“Democracy is on trial in the coming Elections in the beautiful country of Honduras on November 30th,” reads the social media post published Friday on Trump’s official X account.

Administration officials were warned of potential risks posed by President Donald Trump's deployment of National Guard troops for law enforcement purposes, but they downplayed those concerns.

The warnings proved to be prescient after an Afghan refugee shot two West Virginia National Guard members Wednesday in Washington, D.C., where they were carrying out "high visibility patrols" as part of the president's so-called crackdown on crime, reported The Atlantic.

Conservative commentator and journalist Curtis Houck threw a racially coded attack at former MSNBC host Joy Reid, who is Black, in response to controversial comments she made about MAGA supporters, Vice President JD Vance and Erika Kirk.

Appearing recently on the “I’ve Had It” podcast, Reid argued that Vance’s chances of leading the GOP ticket in 2028 were slim due to having an Indian wife, and suggested that Vance separating from his wife and marrying Charlie Kirk’s widow – rumors of which have circulated since their embrace at a Turning Point USA event – would be the “MAGA fairy tale” that could catapult him to the White House.

A sportswriter who's published a book about President Donald Trump's golf habits mocked his claim about winning dozens of championships.

The president boasted about winning 38 golf titles in an extended riff during his Thanksgiving Day phone call to military service members, but The Daily Beast reported that longtime golf writer Rick Reilly ridiculed his claims on social media.

White House adviser Stephen Miller faced backlash from experts after he responded to the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. by suggesting that immigrants could never assimilate into American culture.

After an Afghan national was named as a suspect, Miller responded to a Wall Street Journal editorial that asserted that Afghan refugees "shouldn't be blamed for the violent act of one man. Collective punishment of all Afghans in the U.S. won't make America safer and it might embitter more against the United States."
