White House exposes alleged foreign gangsters the Supreme Court barred from deportation

The Trump administration on Saturday released the rap sheets and photos of alleged Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang members detained in Texas who the administration is trying to deport.

The suspects of the violent Venezuelan gang were going to be deported using the recently reinstated Alien Enemies Act of 1798 before the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruled Saturday morning against deportations under the 18th century law.

In a decision in favor of the American Civil Liberties Union, the administration was barred from removing Venezuelans held in Texas’ Bluebonnet Detention Center “until further order of this court.”

Following the ruling, Trump administration lawyers filed an opposition to the request to block the deportations, noting the government provided advance notice to detainees prior to removals, and they had adequate time to file habeas claims.

At a minimum, attorneys argued the court should limit the administrative stay to removals.

SCOTUS previously ruled the president could conduct deportations under the Alien Enemies Act as long as suspected illegal aliens were afforded due process to challenge their removal from the U.S.

“These are some of the TdA gang members detained in Texas that we are trying to deport,” a senior Trump administration official told Fox News.

TdA, designated a foreign terrorist organization Feb. 20 by the Department of State, has thousands of members, many of whom the White House says have unlawfully infiltrated the U.S. and are “undertaking hostile actions against the United States.”

Photos released by the administration of suspected TdA members who made the list show various tattoos, weapons, jewelry and money.

Officials also noted each suspected member’s prior criminal convictions and current charges.

Here are some of the Bluebonnet Detention Center inmates the White House claims are Venezuelan citizens and confirmed TdA members who would have been deported:

Democrat accused of breaking 1799 law that was used against the first Trump administration

Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s, D-Md., sudden trip to El Salvador to try to free deportee Kilmar Abrego Garcia is getting the attention of critics who believe the Maryland Democrat may have violated a 1799 law prohibiting unauthorized diplomacy.

The Logan Act – named for former Pennsylvania Sen. George Logan – stipulates a fine and/or imprisonment for Americans corresponding with foreign officials “with intent to influence the[ir] measures … in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States.”

Logan met with French diplomat Charles de Talleyrand after Paris rebuffed President John Adams, and he attempted to entreat him – in part via a letter from Vice President Thomas Jefferson – to end the Franco-American hostilities of the so-called “Quasi War.”

In that way, several prominent conservatives questioned whether Van Hollen’s actions similarly violated the law.

MORE DEMS WORK TO JOIN VAN HOLLEN IN EL SALVADOR TO PUSH FOR ALLEGED GANG MEMBER’S RETURN TO US

“Why hasn’t this U.S. senator been arrested for violation of the Logan Act? It’s illegal to conduct your own foreign policy,” longtime Republican consultant Roger Stone tweeted.

WMAL host Vince Coglianese read the Logan Act statute aloud and asked his audience whether Van Hollen had done what the code outlined. 

“Is Chris Van Hollen violating the Logan Act?” Coglianese said. “Because this is what they accused General [Michael] Flynn of doing … the incoming national security advisor … who was merely having conversations with foreign diplomats [after] people had chosen President Donald Trump.”

Democrats previously seized on the Logan Act when Flynn contacted Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak prior to Trump being sworn in the first time, which ultimately led to an FBI probe and tanked his public-service career.

Notes from former FBI agent Peter Strzok read, “VP: Logan Act” and suggested then-Vice President Joe Biden floated using it against Flynn, while then-FBI director Jim Comey said the Kislyak correspondence appeared “legit.”

Fox News contributor Byron York responded to an X question on the matter by saying that he repeatedly argued during the Flynn matter that the act is a “dead letter.”

“But politically, it’s useful to know that Sen. Van Hollen traveled to a foreign country to bash the President of the United States.”

The American Accountability Foundation (AAF) sent a letter to Senate Ethics Committee Chairman James Lankford, R-Okla, asking to probe for violations, according to the New York Post.

AAF’s Thomas Jones said Garcia “is essentially an enemy combatant in the ongoing invasion … by transnational gangs.”

Fox News Digital reached out to Lankford for comment.

The act was last invoked by Trump critics after a book by Watergate journalist Bob Woodward claimed the mogul held several calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin between his terms in the White House.

Trump was lambasted by the “Never-Trump” Lincoln Project and Kamala Harris over Woodward’s book’s claims.

Agents also considered getting Flynn to admit to breaking the Logan Act:

“What is our goal?” one of the notes from ex-FBI counterintelligence chief Bill Priestap read: “Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?”

After that situation, Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., unsuccessfully sought a Logan Act repeal.

In the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan suggested it be used against Rev. Jesse Jackson for his travels and communications to Cuba and Nicaragua. 

Trump previously accused both ex-Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., and Sen. Christopher Murphy, D-Conn., of violating the Logan Act via their contact with Iran in 2019 and 2020.

“It’s literally my job to meet with foreign leaders,” Murphy shot back, citing his position on a Senate Mideast subcommittee.

Ultimately, no one has been successfully prosecuted under the Logan Act, as the namesake Philadelphian himself was essentially grandfathered out.

Fox News Digital reached out to Van Hollen for comment.

Dem elites accused of slapping small-town cops with massive fines that are twice their pay

Dozens of officers in a small-town New York police department near the Canadian border have been fined for allegedly taking part in an unauthorized labor strike during a snowy stretch this winter. 

The union described the fines as retaliation and an abuse of power that denied the officers due process.

One of the officers says the allegations aren’t true. He went to work, participated in on-duty training and even made a drunken driving stop during a span when it snowed “every day.”

“They’re upset that we didn’t make them enough money and meet their perceived ticket quota,” said Andy Thompson, a Tonawanda Police officer and the president of the department’s union, the Tonawanda Police Club. 

NEW YORK PRISON GUARDS FIRED FOR IGNORING DEAL TO END STRIKE, THOUSANDS SET TO LOSE HEALTH INSURANCE

Tonawanda Police Chief James Stauffiger, whom the union is asking town residents to oust, said Thompson’s allegations are “without merit.”

“I stand behind the charges filed against the union with the Public Employees Relations Board and the individual officers,” he told Fox News Digital. “The process needs to unfold fairly and thoroughly.”

Thompson is among the nearly 50 officers accused of going on strike without authorization for one hour a day over a nine-day stretch and has had two hours of pay docked for each of those days, according to a letter he received that was signed by Tonawanda Town Supervisor Joe Emminger.

BLUE CITY POLICE SERGEANTS SAY THEY’RE PAID LESS THAN SUBORDINATES AS BILLIONS GO TO MIGRANTS

“We didn’t strike. We showed up to work every day. We did our jobs every day,” Thompson told Fox News Digital. “We didn’t write enough tickets, and we didn’t put enough money in the town’s coffers. And they decided they’re going to fine each officer.”

Ticket quotas are illegal under New York law, he noted, and workplace retaliation can be, too.

Between late January into February, the town got so much snowfall it ran out of road salt, and there was an increase in police calls. Officers were also required to spend 16 hours doing mandatory training with new department-issued guns, all during a staffing shortage after seven officers retired or left at the start of the new year, Thompson told Fox News Digital. 

OBAMA-ERA PROSECUTOR’S PROBE INTO BLUE STATE POLICE RACIAL BIAS CLAIMS CALLED ‘UNTENABLE’ FOR TROOPERS

This year, Tonawanda Police has issued 123 tickets, according to a filing with New York’s Public Employment Relations Board. Between 2021 and 2024, the department issued between 439 and 653 over the same period. Town leaders alleged in the document that the decrease is the result of officers striking without permission in violation of the state’s civil service laws.

“It’s unheard of,” said Mike O’Meara, the president of the Police Conference of New York, the state’s largest police union. “They’re making this up as they go along.”

He called the town’s labor complaint against Tonawanda officers “unprecedented,” as well as the fines, which are double the hourly wage of officers for each hour they were allegedly striking.

“It may be somewhat unprecedented to claim that a reduction in the issuance of traffic tickets constitutes a strike,” said Jerry Cutler, author of “Legal Guide to Human Resources” and a Columbia University lecturer. “However, the critical issue from a legal standpoint is whether the employees have abstained from performing their duties in the normal manner.”

Experts say that, feud aside, it boils down to whoever has more convincing evidence.

“A reduction in ticket volume may point to a concerted effort to interfere with the employer’s operations, in which case the action would likely be found to constitute an unlawful strike,” Cutler told Fox News Digital. “Alternatively, the evidence may suggest some legitimate reason for the reduced ticket volume – or that this is not an apt means of comparison – which would lead to a finding that the law has not been violated.”

Department leaders say officers went on strike to protest disciplinary measures taken against Tonawanda Officer Bikramjit Singh, a U.S. Army veteran accused of mishandling evidence while investigating a potential drug deal. 

“He had his body camera on. He opens this water bottle. There’s a bag in there,” Thompson said. “He looks at the bag. … He says it’s garbage. He wraps it up in his glove, and he disposes of it.”

However, a suspected drug dealer and suspected drug user later told police there were drugs in the bag, and department officials moved to have Singh fired for throwing it out, Thompson said. The alleged drugs were never recovered, but Singh wound up resigning since being fired could have cost him his law enforcement certifications, Thompson said.

Tensions were already simmering between the rank-and-file and Stauffiger, an Emminger appointee who they accuse of unfairly forcing Singh out and withholding paperwork that would allow him to find new employment in law enforcement in another department.

Stauffiger, a 30-year member of the department, was appointed chief five years ago as part of an effort to eradicate corruption from the department. Thompson, too, represents new leadership, having been president of the union for just over a year. 

“There’s no due process, and this whole thing was done between the supervisor and the law firm that represents the town, who also donates large amounts of money to the town supervisors’ campaign and the Town of Tonawanda Democratic Party’s campaigns,” Thompson said, citing public records. “So, it’s more of a witch hunt than anything.”

Emminger did not respond to a request for comment. Neither did the town’s law firm. 

Thompson believes the allegations mark the first time the state’s civil service law has been used to punish police officers for failing to meet “quotas” after he says the town lost money due to a decrease in traffic citations issued during the snowfall. 

“This is going to end up being case law by the time this is all over,” Thompson said. “This has never been done to a police union before.”

The union has launched a public campaign urging residents to demand that local leaders remove Stauffiger, who they accuse of retaliation and harassment and withholding “basic gear,” including winter coats. 

According to the union, during the time officers were allegedly on strike, the department still made seven drunken driving arrests, issued more than 300 tickets and responded to nearly 2,000 more calls for service than the same period a year earlier with 14 fewer officers.

“The real losers are town residents,” O’Meara told Fox News Digital. “They’re saying, ‘Make sure you tag the residents of this town.’”

Reality star breaks silence after brother turns violent, attacks cop

Former “The Real Housewives of Orange County” star Lydia McLaughlin is mourning the loss of her brother Geoffrey Shyam Stirling. 

On Thursday night, Stirling died at the age of 45 after he was shot and killed during an alleged altercation with a police officer following a traffic stop in Newport Beach, California, according to a press release posted by the city’s police department on its X page Friday.

“My family and I are devastated by the loss of my brother. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support from friends, family, and the community. We kindly ask for privacy as we mourn,” McLaughlin, 44, told People magazine in a statement on Friday.

McLaughlin did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

McLaughlin and Stirling’s father, Scott Stirling, who is the President and CEO of Canada’s Newfoundland Broadcasting Company, also shared a statement with People.

“Geoffrey was a loving son, brother, uncle and friend,” Scott said. “He was a television producer, script writer, actor and model. He attended church every Sunday and supported multiple charities. We miss him already.”

According to the Newport Beach PD’s press release, Stirling, a resident of Laguna Beach, California, was riding his motorcycle on Pacific Coast Highway when he was pulled over by a police officer for an alleged traffic violation around 9:15pm.

“Shortly after being stopped, Stirling became uncooperative and assaulted the officer,” the statement read. “During the ensuing violent altercation, Stirling managed to remove the department-issued taser from the officer’s duty belt and attempted to deploy it multiple times against the officer. At that point, an officer-involved shooting occurred.”

“Additional officers responded to the scene and rendered medical aid to Stirling until personnel from the Newport Beach Fire Department arrived,” the statement continued. “Stirling was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased.”

The police department added, “In accordance with California law, the California Department of Justice (DOJ) was notified and responded to the scene to conduct an independent investigation.”

“Once their investigation is complete, the findings will be turned over to DOJ’s Special Prosecutions Section for independent review,” the statement continued. “This remains an active investigation.”

McLaughlin was a main cast member during “RHOC’s” eighth season in 2013 and she returned for the show’s 12th season in 2017. 

In October 2024, McLaughlin announced that her mother Judy Stirling, who made appearances alongside her daughter during season 8 and season 12 of the reality show, had died after a long battle with breast cancer. In addition to McLaughlin and Stirling, Scott and Judy also shared a son, Jesse Stirling, 53.

New study suggests common vitamin in Americans’ cabinets may lower deadly cancer risk

Vitamin D is widely known for boosting bone health, muscle strength and immune function, but it also has a range of other benefits — including cancer prevention.

A new study published in the journal Nutrients suggests that the common vitamin is effective in preventing and treating colorectal cancer.

Hungarian researchers conducted a meta-analysis of 50 previous studies that included more than 1.3 million participants, focusing on vitamin D’s potential effects on cancer risk, immunity and inflammation.

COMMON VITAMIN SHOWN TO REDUCE AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE

“The most important finding is that vitamin D plays a critical role in the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer,” study author János Tamás Varga, PhD, associate professor at Semmelweis University in Budapest, told Fox News Digital.

“Our research clearly supports the strong correlation between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (the primary form of vitamin D) levels and cancer outcomes.”

Cancer patients with low vitamin D levels showed poorer prognoses.

Vitamin D has been shown to reduce inflammation, promote the death of cancer cells, inhibit tumor growth and enhance immune response, the researchers found. 

VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY LINKED TO DEMENTIA IN CERTAIN POPULATIONS WHEN LEVELS ARE VERY LOW: STUDY

“These mechanisms significantly influence the pathophysiology of colorectal cancer,” Varga noted. 

In addition to prevention, vitamin D supplementation was also shown to improve survival rates among patients with advanced-stage colorectal cancer, according to the research.

“The results suggest that the effect of vitamin D may depend on factors such as the dosage, the individual condition of the patients and the duration of treatment,” Vargas added.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) has previously referenced studies suggesting that vitamin D could lower cancer risk, particularly colorectal cancer.

“However, large studies have not found that vitamin D supplements lower the risk of colorectal polyps (pre-cancerous growths) or cancer,” the ACS stated on its website.

“The optimal dosage should be tailored to the individual’s health condition and current vitamin D levels.” 

One important limitation of the research is that the studies included in the analysis used different vitamin D dosages and involved patients at various stages of cancer, the authors noted. 

They called for further research to accurately determine the optimal dosage and “therapeutic efficacy.”

Recommendations for Americans

“Based on our research, we recommend that individuals at high risk of colorectal cancer monitor their vitamin D levels and, if necessary, take a daily vitamin D supplement of 1000–4000 IU, especially for those with low vitamin D levels,” lead study author Dr. Monika Fekete, medical doctor at Semmelweis University, told Fox News Digital.

“The optimal dosage should be tailored to the individual’s health condition and current vitamin D levels.”

For physicians, the researchers suggest routinely measuring and supplementing vitamin D levels for both prevention and treatment purposes.

“Vitamin D plays a crucial role in the treatment and prevention of colorectal cancer, but further research is needed to determine the optimal dosage and the specific role of genetic factors,” Fekete added.

“The molecular mechanisms of vitamin D — such as the regulation of oncogenes (mutated genes that can lead to cancer) and inhibition of tumor progression — require further scientific investigation.”

As the effect of vitamin D is closely linked to the patient’s condition, the doctor said, treatment recommendations should be personalized.

The primary source of vitamin D is exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays.

It can also be obtained from dietary sources, according to the ACS, including fatty fish and some mushrooms.

There are also some vitamin D-fortified foods, including milk, some orange juices and cereals, the above source stated.

People can also take vitamin D supplements to boost their levels.

“Most Americans do not get enough vitamin D in their diets, and many have low vitamin D levels in their blood,” the ACS said on its website. 

“While the role of vitamin D in lowering cancer risk is still an active area of research and debate, avoiding low vitamin D levels is recommended.”

Archaeologists discover ‘unique find’ that may lead to ruins of ancient, long-lost civilization

Archaeologists recently uncovered the remains of a lost city dating back thousands of years – and newfound evidence suggests it may be the capital of a once-thriving civilization.

The recent excavation was announced by California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt, on April 4. It took place at Gradishte, an archaeological site near the North Macedonian village of Crnobuki; it was done with the help of experts from Macedonia’s Institute and Museum in Bitola.

Speaking to Fox News Digital, Nick Angeloff, an anthropology professor and archaeologist with Cal Poly Humboldt, said it appears likely the site is Lyncus, the lost capital of the Kingdom of Lyncestis. The kingdom was conquered by King Philip II of Macedon in 358 B.C.

SECRET ‘SISTINE CHAPEL’ DECKED OUT WITH FRESCOES IN UNLIKELY LOCATION

“Every indication is pointing toward this being the city of Lyncus, within Lyncestis,” Angeloff said. 

“Nothing is pointing away from it being Lyncus.”

Lyncus was the only city associated with Upper Macedonia, according to Angeloff, and had never been found before.

“[The discovery is] very rare,” the expert said. “It’s a unique find.”

Lyncus, settled in the 7th century B.C., was the birthplace of Eurydice I of Macedon. 

DOZENS OF ANCIENT SKELETONS FOUND IN HEART OF BUSTLING CITY: ‘HARD TO IMAGINE’

Though few have heard of the ancient queen, nearly everyone has heard of her grandson, Alexander the Great.

“This is the only appropriate location that we have determined may be the ancient city of Lyncus, where Alexander the Great’s grandmother was born and raised,” he said.

“Eurydice I was a very powerful woman in that time in human history,” the archaeologist continued.

“There’s only one city that she could have come from, and we may have found it.”

She also said, “Without Eurydice, we don’t have Philip II, Alexander’s father, nor do we have Alexander the Great.”

EXPERTS SHOCKED BY ANCIENT KING ARTHUR MANUSCRIPT FOUND TUCKED INSIDE BOOK: ‘SURVIVED THE CENTURIES’

Information about the site is rapidly changing. Initially, historians believed the ruins at Gradishte were built during the reign of Macedonian leader King Philip V, who ruled from 221 to 179 B.C.

But a coin from Alexander the Great’s reign emerged, pushing it back to the 4th century B.C. Now, it looks like the site was also occupied hundreds of years before, during the Bronze Age.

At the site, archaeologists used the remote-sensing technology LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) to see beneath the ground. Angeloff estimated that roughly 10,000 people lived in the city at its peak, though future excavations are likely to yield more accurate information.

“The potential for archaeology across North Macedonia … is highly significant.”

“It has become very clear, using technology, that the fortress [we found] was designed to hold an entire city,” the historian said. “And we see the whole array of infrastructure required to hold a city inside fortress walls during an attack by Rome in particular in this case.”

Angeloff added, “We were able to overlay and see what was underneath the ground. And the acropolis that it sits on, which is basically a flat hilltop, has enough rooms and infrastructure to hold an entire city inside the fortress walls.”

Excavators discovered a textile workshop in addition to numerous artifacts, including a coin with Alexander the Great’s likeness, axes, game pieces, an oil lamp, even a small ceramic displaying a heart motif.

One of the most curious artifacts was a clay theater ticket, which Angeloff said was unique to North Macedonia.

“Typically, theater tickets [were] made of a metal, whether bronze or iron, but they’re always reused,” he said. “There has never been a location in North Macedonia with a theater ticket that has been found that did not have a theater.”

He added, “Using our LiDAR, we think we may have located the theater, and it looks, for all intents and purposes, like a Macedonian theater, not a Roman theater.”

“There’s been relatively little work and relatively little investment into this region.”

The archaeologist, stressing the historical importance of the project, said his team plans to return to North Macedonia in May and June for more excavations.

“The potential for archaeology across North Macedonia to inform our understanding of the classical [eras], as well as the Roman era, is highly significant,” Angeloff said. “There’s been relatively little work and relatively little investment into this region.”

“So we have an opportunity here to expand our knowledge of the times of Alexander the Great, [and] the times of the Roman Empire, exponentially, through our work in Macedonia.”
