President Donald Trump received a rare rebuke from the Catholic Church after the Bishop of Charleston released a lengthy public statement condemning the U.S. immigration system, slamming the president's mass deportation efforts while crediting President George W. Bush's "acceptable" plans.

Bishop Mark Brennan, who presides over the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston encompassing all of West Virginia, said America was "built on the backs of men and women who came from other countries, whether freely or in chains."

FBI Director Kash Patel has agreed to aid the search for the Texas Democratic lawmakers who left the state to protest new congressional maps, Sen. John Cornyn said Thursday.

Texas Republicans have been trying to bring the Democrats back so there are enough lawmakers on the floor for a quorum, which would enable them to vote on new congressional maps likely to increase the GOP advantage in the state. Texas requires two-thirds of the House — or 100 of the 150 representatives — to be present for a quorum.

It's unclear what the laws the legislators...

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed dueling petitions to the state Supreme Court this week seeking to punish dozens of quorum-breaking Democrats who fled the state to block passage of a newly drawn congressional map — a high-stakes gerrymandering fight playing out ahead of next year's midterm elections.

Abbott's petition, filed late Tuesday night, alleges that Rep. Gene Wu, the Democratic Caucus chair, and his 49 Democratic colleagues violated their "affirmative constitutional obligation" by leaving Texas late last...

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro drew sharp criticism after joining a lawsuit to block President Donald Trump from placing prohibitions on juvenile gender surgeries and criticizing supporters of a state Senate bill that would ban biological males from competing in girls sports.

The potential 2028 Democratic hopeful was careful to distinguish that his opposition to Trump’s move is not necessarily in support of such procedures, but because he believes the doctor’s office is no place for the federal government.

"I am suing the Trump administration...

Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said Wednesday that the FBI would be "unwelcome" to pursue Texas lawmakers who fled to his home state to stall a redistricting vote.

In an interview with "News Not Noise with Jessica Yellin," Pritzker argued that the Texas lawmakers had not broken any federal law, and, therefore, the FBI doesn’t have jurisdiction. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, disagreed, sending a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel earlier this week asking the bureau to help locate or arrest "potential lawbreakers" who fled Texas in a maneuver to...

Republican Sen. Tim Scott's goal in next year's midterm elections is not only to defend the GOP's 53-47 margin in the Senate, but to expand the majority.

Scott, the conservative senator from South Carolina, told Fox News Digital soon after taking over late last year as chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) that he aimed to increase the GOP's control in the chamber to at least 55 seats.

And he's standing by his goal.

"The bottom line is, I believe that we can defend our current seats while adding at least two more seats to...
