We should not be putting the needs of illegal aliens over those of law-abiding citizens.

ICE enforcement helps mitigate crimes in our communities, while sanctuary policies shield criminal aliens.

The pro-mass-migration lobby has been recycling the same time-worn talking points to fool the public into accepting open borders, amnesty, and the mass importation of cheap foreign labor. Fortunately, few Americans are buying the propaganda.

Two illegal aliens from India have been arrested following a tractor-trailer accident in Florida that claimed three lives. The tragic incident underscores the need for President Trump’s April Executive Order reinforcing existing law that requires truck drivers to be proficient in the English language.

Do foreign nationals have a constitutionally protected interest in not being removed from the United States? Deputy Executive Director Matt O'Brien explains how the answer to that question is a resounding "No!": townhall.com/columnists/matt…

After nearly two years of heartbreak and outrage, justice has finally been served. Rachel Morin’s killer—an illegal border crosser and fugitive from El Salvador—has been sentenced to two life terms for her brutal rape and murder. FAIR interviewed Rachel’s mother, Patty Morin, to hear her reaction to the sentencing.

Last Thursday, President Trump announced that the Department of Commerce is starting work on a new census that would not count illegal aliens present in the United States. The announcement states that the census would be based on data from the 2024 election and only count American citizens.

U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams issued a 14-day temporary restraining order halting construction on the recently opened Florida Everglades detention facility. According to the court, the order aims to prevent environmental damage.

Drunk drivers kill. Illegal alien drunk drivers who kill because sanctuary jurisdictions put them back behind the wheel instead of handing them over to ICE, makes those jurisdictions knowing accomplices. Now, a New Jersey family is shattered and state officials are offering excuses instead of changes.

Press Release: Illegal Aliens Seek Tax Privacy FAIR shows groups protecting illegal conduct have unclean hands WASHINGTON—Yesterday, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) filed a brief in the DC Circuit Court of Appeals opposing an effort by activist groups to stop the Internal Revenue Service from sharing information about illegal aliens with another federal agency, the Department of Homeland Security. The groups fear that the data-sharing program instituted by the Trump Administration will result in more deportations of the illegal aliens the groups serve. FAIR points out in its brief, however, that the illegal alien service groups cannot be heard to demand an injunction protecting the continued violation of federal immigration law. Under the doctrine of “unclean hands,” a plaintiff whose own conduct is unlawful or in bad faith cannot demand an injunction by a court—even if the conduct they seek to enjoin is itself unlawful (as is hardly the case here). “There is nothing wrong with one federal agency sharing information with another, to further the purposes of Congress in the immigration laws,” said Dale L. Wilcox, executive director and general counsel of FAIR. “And even if there were, plaintiffs are organizations dedicated to helping illegal aliens go on violating the law by remaining in this country. This purpose of abetting law-breaking makes their hands decidedly unclean, and under immemorial equity doctrine they cannot come into court to demand an injunction against anything. We hope the court sees there is no basis for an injunction here, and rules in favor of the administration.” The case is Centro de Trabajadores Unidos v. Bessent, No. 25-5181 (DC Circuit).

This senseless tragedy should have never happened. Weak borders have real, devastating consequences. We hope the Morin family finds peace, and that our leaders finally put American families first.
