Kilkenny man has been held by US authorities since last September and is trying to fight his deportation

Permanent-residency applications from more than seventy countries have been frozen, naturalization ceremonies cancelled. When spouses of U.S. citizens have shown up for routine green-card interviews, they've been arrested; others in the middle of applying for their legal status are getting detained and, in some cases, deported outright. The agency is beginning a sweeping campaign to denaturalize large numbers of citizens, aiming to strip them of their legal status; officials have monthly quotas for how many cases they must flag for review.

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Trump administration to make arrangements to allow some of the Venezuelan migrants deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador to return to the U.S. at the government's expense. The case has been a legal flashpoint in the administration's sweeping immigration crackdown. It started in March after President Donald Trump invoked the 18th century Alien Enemies Act to send Venezuelan migrants accused of being gang members to a mega-prison known as the Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT.

A federal immigration judge ended the deportation case against Narciso Barranco, a Mexican father of three U.S. Marines, whose arrest on video showing masked federal agents pinning him down and punching him outside an IHOP in Southern California went viral last year. Rigo Hernandez, 44, told The Times that the judge terminated his stepfather's case during a virtual hearing on Jan. 28. "It was the third case the judge heard that day," Hernandez said in a phone interview. "It was nerve-racking."

Hundreds of protesters have gathered in Milan to reject the presence of United States immigration agents in the city before the opening ceremony of the Milano Cortina Winter Games. The student-led demonstration on Friday featured banners reading ICE should be in my drinks, not my city in reaction to the reported presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials providing security for the US delegation at the games.

When Rosaly Estevez self-deported from Miami to Havana last November, US immigration officers bid farewell by removing her ankle monitor. The 32-year-old had been told she was about to be detained, so she left with her three-year-old son, Dylan, a US citizen. It's been brutal, said Estevez. Imagine Dylan hugging his phone every night when he sees his dad. I wouldn't wish this on any mother.

According to court filings, Velez used social media to manipulate and threaten children into sending sexually explicit images. Prosecutors said that in 2022, when Velez was 26, he posed online as a 13-year-old boy and began communicating with an 11-year-old girl through Instagram. After convincing her to send explicit images, authorities said Velez threatened to kill her family if she did not continue complying.

Driving the news: The DOJ alleged last summer that Boasberg raised concerns at a Judicial Conference session that the Trump administration would "disregard rulings" and trigger a "constitutional crisis." In his Dec. 19 order, Judge Jeffrey Sutton noted the department provided no evidence of Boasberg's comment, which was reported by conservative outlet The Federalist. Even if Boasberg made the statement, Sutton contended, it wouldn't constitute a conduct violation. The DOJ did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.
