Washington — While the Trump administration has highlighted transfers of dangerous criminals and suspected gang members to Guantanamo Bay, it is also sending nonviolent, "low-risk" migrant detainees who lack serious criminal records or any at all, according to two U.S. officials and internal government documents.

When he ordered officials to convert facilities inside the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, into a large-scale immigration detention site late last month, President Trump said it would house the "worst" migrants and "provide...

The filings also provided new insights into DOGE's ongoing mission with the Treasury Department.

The Trump administration's Feb. 8 order that employees of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau halt much of their work amounts to an existential crisis for a government agency that itself was born from crisis.

The CFPB was launched in 2011 under President Barack Obama following the housing industry meltdown that devastated the global economy. The agency's mission: to protect Americans from abuse by financial firms; ensure that industry players follow consumer protection rules governing everything from home loans to credit cards; and help...

Washington — A group of eight former internal government watchdogs who were fired by President Trump filed a lawsuit Wednesday challenging their terminations.

The legal challenge, brought in federal district court in Washington, D.C, argues that their firings violate federal laws that were enacted to protect inspectors general from interference with their duties. One of those laws, passed in 2022, requires a president to give Congress 30 days notice about the planned removal of an inspector general.

The former inspectors general involved in the...

Washington — House Republicans released a budget resolution on Wednesday, laying a foundation for advancing President Trump's agenda on border security, defense, energy and tax priorities, despite momentum around a competing proposal in the Senate.

The budget proposal says that the House Ways and Means Committee can pursue up to $4.5 trillion in tax cuts, and sets a goal of cutting mandatory spending by $2 trillion. It would also increase the debt ceiling by $4 trillion.

The long-awaited budget resolution comes as congressional leaders have been...

FIRST ON FOX: A team member for President Donald Trump's FBI director nominee, Kash Patel, pushed back Wednesday on allegations that Patel played a role in the firings of bureau personnel just hours after swearing not to do so during his confirmation hearing late last month – dismissing accusations from the panel's top Democrat as a politically motivated effort to derail his confirmation.

A senior transition team official for Patel refuted the allegations made by the ranking Senate Judiciary Committee Democrat, Dick Durbin, that Patel had...

Federal judges have blocked President Donald Trump's executive orders related to stemming the flow of illegal immigration, as well as slimming the federal bureaucracy and slashing government waste.

"Billions of Dollars of FRAUD, WASTE, AND ABUSE, has already been found in the investigation of our incompetently run Government," Trump wrote on TRUTH Social on Tuesday. "Now certain activists and highly political judges want us to slow down, or stop. Losing this momentum will be very detrimental to finding the TRUTH, which is turning out to be a...

Americans are giving a big thumbs up to some of the early actions taken by President Donald Trump during the opening weeks of his second administration.

However, a new national poll also indicates that the public also gives a thumbs down to other moves made by Trump during his avalanche of action since returning to the White House on Jan. 20.

In a stark warning to Kyiv, the US defence secretary also says he does not envision Ukraine joining Nato.

The Arab state is seeking an alternative to Donald Trump's plan to relocate some two million Palestinians.

Intelligence chief Vasyl Malyuk was seen personally arresting the suspect, named by media as Dmytro Kozyura.

The footage appeared to show the pair threatening to kill and refuse to treat Israeli patients.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Wednesday that it is “unrealistic” to aim for a return to Ukraine’s borders as they were before 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea and supported separatists who took over swathes of the country’s east.

The remarks are the clearest indication yet that the United States will support a negotiation between Ukraine and Russia in which Ukraine cedes territory that’s already been seized by the Kremlin.

“We want, like you, a sovereign and prosperous Ukraine,” Hegseth said in a speech during a trip to NATO’s headquarters in...

Washington — President Trump fired the inspector general for the United States Agency for International Development on Tuesday, one day after he released a report detailing the impact of the administration's cuts to the agency, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Paul Martin, the ousted inspector general, was given no reason for his dismissal in a two-sentence email from Trent Morse, deputy director of the White House's Office of Presidential Personnel. Martin was appointed by former President Joe Biden and led the inspector general's...
