At such a young age, Khalilieh left home alone for the United States, carrying little more than determination and a limited grasp of English. The very little English I knew I learned from watching old Clint Eastwood cowboy movies, he said. Those films shaped his expectations of America, which were quickly challenged upon arrival. To my surprise, when I got to California, no one was wearing cowboy hats, he added.

My nationality is Palestinian,

On Monday, I published an article unpacking how anti-Semitism in America is a youth movement. Surveys from nonpartisan, conservative, and liberal sources have found that far from being the benighted bigotry of the old, anti-Jewish prejudice is growing in popularity among the young, which is why it has been on the rise in American politics and culture. "The research collectively suggests that America is becoming more anti-Semitic because its young people are becoming more anti-Semitic," I wrote.

They aren't part of the federal judiciary established by Article III of the Constitution such judges have life tenure, and even the Trump administration hasn't claimed it can fire them. Rather, immigration judges are essentially civil servant lawyers who work for the Department of Justice. They fall under the DOJ's Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). Their job is to decide cases involving asylum, deportation, removal and detention under the Immigration and Nationality Act.

Buoyed by immigration, the Spanish economy has enjoyed positive headline figures in recent years and will continue to lead the way in the bloc in 2026, but Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez admits the benefits aren't yet trickling down to locals. Immigration and services have spurred the Spanish economy to continent-leading headline figures, but even Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez admits that these macro gains are failing to trickle down and that the purchasing power of Spaniards "is still low".

For the last four years, the United States was ruled by politicians who fought only for insiders, illegal aliens, career criminals, corporate lobbyists, prisoners, terrorists, and above all foreign nations, which took advantage of us at levels never seen before. They flooded your cities and towns with illegal aliens. They decimated your hard earned savings. They indoctrinated your children with hate for America. Really, I mean, they just released a level of violent felons that we had never seen, to prey on the innocent.

The authors behind the report, Projections of Homeownership Rates and Household Growth by Tenure for 2025-2035, updated the research to reflect the possibility of relatively low population gains from international immigration over the next decade. The addendum comes as the immigrant population in the U.S. is decreasing. After peaking at 53.3 million in January, the immigrant population fell by 1.3 million by June, according to Pew Research data. Further deportations and restrictions on legal immigration have continued since, likely reducing the immigrant population further.

Full restrictions remain in place for 12 countries previously identified as "high risk." Driving the news: The Trump administration instituted full restrictions and entry limitations against Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan, and Syria, as well as people with travel documents issued by the Palestinian Authority. Trump expanded restrictions from partial to full against Laos and Sierra Leone. He also added partial restrictions and energy limitations on 15 additional countries: Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Cote d'Ivoire, Dominica, Gabon, The Gambia, Malawi, Mauritania, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania, Tonga, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The ban was lifted from Turkmenistan on non-immigrant visas but maintained for immigrants.

Pro wrestling legend Mick Foley has announced he is "parting ways" with WWE over the company's "close relationship with Donald Trump." In an Instagram statement, the Hall of Famer revealed he had been "concerned" about WWE's relationship with Trump for "several months" - particularly "in light of his administration's ongoing cruel and inhumane treatment of immigrants (and pretty much anyone who 'looks like an immigrant')." However, Trump's "incredibly cruel comments" following Rob Reiner's death were the "final straw."

When you have a great candidate who's focused on the issues of the people and solutions for the people, along with an organized party doing year-round organizing, consistently showing up in communities, with the resources to communicate to the electorate, it produces wins, says Nikki Fried, chair of the Florida Democratic Party. This is going to be a great example of not just what happens in South Florida, but what can happen across the state.

Moynihan argued certain cultures are not compatible with the United States. Which ones? Phillip pressed multiple times. Well, if we look at Europe, actually, there was a lawyer this week who argued that an Afghan immigrant who raped a woman shouldn't be charged or shouldn't have a penalty because his culture said that women weren't free and equal. We're seeing 77% of rapes in France are from migrants.

I would like them to say to the Democrats, you talk about affordability. Okay. What's your policy that's different than mine that's going to help the American people? And if you have it, why don't we work together in the Congress now and fix it? The problem is they have no answer. So they just throw out these words and they have mainstream media that goes along with it. The talking puppets.

Garcia has been thrust to the center of immigration debates since he was first deported to El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison in March. The administration has claimed Garcia has gang ties, something he's denied. Garcia was deported to the prison despite a 2019 order where he was denied asylum, but his removal was barred due to claims he feared for his and his family's lives due to gang threats.

You shouldn't have to pay any inheritance tax, as you've already been taxed on that money. When my grandad died, it was particularly sad because he was too young for my grandma to receive his pension. That's disgusting. Reform has sensible positions on immigration and inheritance tax, so I stand with Nigel Farage.

Powell risks the Fed's inflation-fighting credibility if the weakness in employment is due more to AI and curbs in immigration than weak demand,

Everything in life is just the fragile result of something that could have been so easily different. None of this would've been possible had my parents not emigrated out of China. My parents were the first class of students after Mao's death that were allowed to leave the country to pursue higher degrees. My sister was born in Australia. I would not have been born if they had stayed in China.

In the Politico interview, Trump said: I inherited a mess. I inherited a total mess. Prices were at an all-time high when I came in. He also told Politico: If you think of gasoline a gallon, they had it at $4.50, almost $5.00. You go to some of the states, you had it at $6.00. We hit, uh, three states two days ago, $1.99 a gallon.

A Downing Street spokesperson declined to criticise President Trump's comments, saying Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer had strong relationships with both men. Asked why No 10 would not defend the mayor against the US president's remarks, the spokesperson said: "I do not accept that. As I have said, the prime minister has a strong relationship with the mayor of London."

... and I hate to see that happen. This is one of the great places in the world, and they're allowing people just to come in, unchecked, unvetted.

La Quema del Diablo (Burning of the Devil) is a centuries-old yearly tradition celebrated by Guatemalans on December 7, viewed as a way to rid themselves of evil as they officially kick off the Christmas season. As part of this year's celebrations in Guatemala's capital city, a giant devil sculpture was lit ablaze along with what looked like Trump's head made out of papier-mache in his hands.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered the FBI to compile a list of what the Justice Department is calling "domestic terrorist" organizations. Last week, Bondi sent a memo to all federal prosecutors and law enforcement agencies targeting a wide range of people, including those who hold what she calls, quote, "extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders; adherence to radical gender ideology," "anti-Americanism," "anti-capitalism" or "anti-Christianity," unquote.
