A federal judge on Friday halted the Trump administration's efforts to deport eight migrants to South Sudan, the latest case testing the legality of the Trump administration's push to ship illegal immigrants to third countries.

U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss in Washington made the ruling, on the July 4 holiday, in order to give the migrants time to make an argument to a Massachusetts court.

The eight men, who are from Cuba, Laos, Mexico, Burma, Sudan and Vietnam, argue their deportations to South Sudan would violate the Constitution, which...

President Donald Trump signed his $3.3 trillion "big, beautiful bill" on Friday, after the House passed the final version of the measure Thursday to ensure it arrived at the president’s desk by his self-imposed July 4 deadline.

The bill includes key provisions that would permanently establish individual and business tax breaks included in Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and incorporates new tax deductions to cut duties on tips and overtime pay.

Before signing the bill, the president said the bill would "fuel massive economic growth" and "lift...

The Hamas terrorist group said Friday it has issued a "positive response" to a U.S.-mediated ceasefire proposal in its war with Israel.

In a post to Telegram, Hamas said it "submitted a positive response to the mediators' latest proposal."

It added that it was "fully prepared to immediately enter into a round of negotiations on the mechanism for implementing this framework," according to a translation of the post.

On Tuesday, President Trump announced that Israel had agreed to a proposal for a two-month ceasefire. At the time, neither Israel nor...

The group said it was ready to begin negotiations immediately after Donald Trump said Israel had accepted conditions for a 60-day ceasefire.

As Congress was approving President Trump's "big, beautiful bill" on Thursday, the Social Security Administration touted the legislation by stating that the legislation "eliminates federal income taxes on Social Security benefits for most beneficiaries."

That claim, which echoes previous promises by Mr. Trump to remove taxes on Social Security, may have come as welcome news for the millions of older and disabled people who depend on the program for income. So does the bill deliver? Not entirely.

In a press release, SSA said that the tax and...

President Trump referred to some lenders as "shylocks and bad people" during a Thursday evening speech, using a term the Anti-Defamation League called a "centuries-old antisemitic trope."

The remarks came during an event in Iowa, as Mr. Trump celebrated the passage of his One Big Beautiful Bill Act. When discussing the law's changes to the estate tax, he said, "Think of that. No death tax, no estate tax. No going to the banks and borrowing from in some cases a fine banker, and in some cases shylocks and bad people."

The word "shylock" is a...

A Florida city commissioner said she was shocked to find herself "standing alone" after her colleagues in the state's southernmost municipality voted this week to end an agreement between the police department and federal immigration authorities.

Key West city Commissioner Lissette Carey told Fox News Digital that she considered the potential consequences of severing the 287(g) agreement, which allows police officers to stop, question and detain illegal immigrants.

"I did my research prior to the meeting," Carey said. "I was the only member of the...

Ismail Abdo, the leader of the Rumba crime gang, has been at the centre of a violent turf war with a rival gang in Sweden.

The president of El Salvador is refuting allegations made by Kilmar Abrego Garcia - the man whose mistaken deportation by the Trump administration has fueled a monthslong legal saga – in which he said he was beaten and subject to psychological torture while in prison in the Central American country.

President Nayib Bukele, in a post on the social media platform X, wrote that Abrego Garcia "wasn't tortured, nor did he lose weight." He included pictures and video of Abrego Garcia in a detention cell at El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center, or...

President Donald Trump signs the sweeping Republican-crafted domestic policy package that he and the GOP call the "One Big Beautiful Bill," into law on Friday at the White House.

The massive tax cuts and spending bill passed the House and Senate this week by razor-thin margins along near party lines.

But the political battle over the bill is far from over, as it moves from Capitol Hill to the campaign trail.

"I'm deeply concerned about this bill and what this will do. We’re going to be talking a lot about it," Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas of New...

New York City Mayor Eric Adams and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo are calling for a full investigation into allegations that Zohran Mamdani falsely identified himself as African American on his Columbia University application.

However, Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa says the controversy is a distraction from Mamdani’s socialist agenda and only turns him into a victim, energizing his supporters and swaying undecided voters.

Both Adams and Cuomo warned that Mamdani’s alleged racial misrepresentation could signal deeper deceit — with the Adams campaign...
