  1. "None of my clients have any arrests or criminal history that are in this situation. These are just cases where they entered legally, they overstayed their visa, all of my cases right now are people that have been married to U.S. citizens, so these are spouses of U.S. citizens that are going through the normal process, the normal channels, and they're being taken into custody," Nasseri said. the above sounds like they came on a tourist visa, overstayed, got married - and are now being deported.

  3. Travel expenses jumped 2,467% from 2021 as just 30.5% of students grades 3-8 show reading proficiency A scathing report from the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) revealed that the school system spent a staggering $14.5 million in "excessive" travel expenses in FY 2023 and FY 2024 combined. The report comes as data shows that just 30.5% of students in grades 3–8 were proficient in reading, and just 18.3% of students were proficient in math in the spring of 2024. "It is a sad commentary on just how far our city has fallen and how bad the leadership is," Chicago pastor Corey Brooks told Fox News Digital. "These individuals believe that spending money on themselves benefits our educational system more so than spending it on the children who so rightfully deserve it." "In our neighborhood, there's a 6% reading proficiency," Brooks added. "And now you're talking about the overall for Chicago being 30%, that is something that needs to be spoken by everyone who is in power." more at https://www.foxnews.com/us/chicago-public-schools-blow-millions-travel-expenses-while-students-cant-read-grade-level

  8. Friday, November 21, 2025 Grammy-winning rapper Prakazrel “Pras” Michel of the Fugees was sentenced on Thursday to 14 years in prison for a case in which he was convicted of illegally funneling millions of dollars in foreign contributions to former President Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign. Michel, 52, declined to address the court before U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly sentenced him. In April 2023, a federal jury convicted Michel of 10 counts, including conspiracy and acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government. The trial in Washington, D.C., included testimony from actor Leonardo DiCaprio and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Justice Department prosecutors said federal sentencing guidelines recommended a life sentence for Michel, whom they said “betrayed his country for money” and “lied unapologetically and unrelentingly to carry out his schemes.” more at https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/prakazrel-pras-michel-rapper/2025/11/21/id/1235487/
  9. from what i have found, local judges (example: local magistrate of podunk town, new jersey) cannot administer the oath, it has to be a federal judge. the only oath ceremony i went to, a federal judge gave the oath to new citizens. so this may be a good thing to prevent immigration fraud.

  11. A Miami grand jury indicted Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Fla., on charges of allegedly stealing millions of dollars in disaster relief funds to make illegal campaign contributions, the Department of Justice said Wednesday. According to the indictment, the Florida Democrat allegedly conspired to steal $5 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds alongside her brother Edwin Cherfilus and numerous co-defendants. Prosecutors alleged that the defendants routed the funds through multiple accounts to disguise their source and that a significant portion of the misappropriated funds were used as candidate contributions to Cherfilus-McCormick’s 2021 congressional campaign or for their personal benefit. more at https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dem-congresswoman-indicted-particularly-selfish-alleged-theft-fema-relief-funds-campaign-use

  15. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits are rife with fraud and abuse, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins told Newsmax on Thursday. Appearing on "Rob Schmitt Tonight," Rollins discussed SNAP data the U.S. Department of Agriculture received from 29 states — mostly red states. The secretary said that "186,000 deceased men and women and children in this country are receiving a check." "Now, that is what we're really going to start clamping down on," she said. Rollins said 500,000 people are receiving two SNAP payments. "But here's the really stunning thing: This is just data from those 29 mostly red states. more at https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/brooke-rollins-snap-benefits/2025/11/13/id/1234502/ and before anyone complains about newsmax as the cited link, it is also on washington times but that has a paywall....

  18. OAKLAND, Calif. -- Legendary former football coach John Beam died on Friday morning after he was shot on the Laney College campus in Oakland, California, on Thursday, the Oakland Police Department said, as authorities announced a suspect's arrest. Beam, featured in Netflix's "Last Chance U," is a football legend in the Bay Area and had coached the sport for over 40 years before becoming solely the school's athletic director last year. Police combed through surveillance footage, and at 3:15 a.m. Friday, a person matching the suspect's description was spotted at a Bay Area Rapid Transit station and was taken into custody, Oakland police said. The suspect -- 27-year-old Cedric Irving -- did know the coach, but "they did not have a relationship," police said. Irving played high school football in the Bay Area, but never played for Beam. Irving didn't attend Laney College or work at the college, but he went to campus "for a specific reason" and "has been known to loiter on or around the campus," police said. more at https://abc7.com/post/coach-john-beam-featured-netflixs-last-chance-shot-laney-college-suspect-large-officials/18154973/
