California judge frees MS-13 murder suspect after five months in immigration custody without bond review

A federal judge in California ordered the release of David Antonio Aviles Perez, an MS-13 member known as 'the Witch' who was convicted of murder in El Salvador, after finding immigration officials detained him for five months without a bond hearing or an individualized danger assessment, prompting DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin to condemn the decision as dangerous and tied to sanctuary policies.

New Jersey mayor pushes sanctuary rollback after infant's death linked to undocumented driver

Jackson Township Mayor Jennifer Kuhn is calling for a rollback of New Jersey's sanctuary policies after an illegal immigrant allegedly struck a family in a grocery store parking lot, killing a 9‑month‑old and injuring others. She argues local police should be able to contact ICE, citing the Immigrant Trust Directive codified by the state, while prosecutors charged Cobon-Guzman with manslaughter and Lazaro-Flores with aiding an undocumented driver. The case fuels a broader debate over balancing public safety with immigration enforcement at the state level.

Judges Urged to Fast-Track Immigration Cases, Limiting Time for Visa Delays

Guardian reports that immigration judges were instructed to tighten use of continuances and deny extended time for applicants awaiting visas or green cards, risking deportation for vulnerable groups like abused children and crime survivors.

Populist immigration pact hits headwinds as UK-France rift looms

France’s Jordan Bardella and Britain’s Nigel Farage push a joint anti-immigration plan at Reform UK’s Birmingham conference, but internal opposition within Bardella’s National Rally, treaty-and-burden-sharing hurdles, and Le Pen’s evolving positioning threaten the alliance’s feasibility, even as both seek to frame migration as a shared political priority.

ICE Agent Charged for Lying About Minneapolis Shooting During Crackdown

An ICE agent, Christian Castro, was federally charged with lying to investigators about a nonfatal shooting during the Trump-era immigration crackdown in Minneapolis; the case marks the first known DOJ move to prosecute a federal immigration officer for actions in that operation. Castro allegedly fired his weapon, injuring Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, and then misled investigators about the incident. The DOJ’s charging decision followed internal debates on civil rights charges, while local authorities in Minnesota are pursuing state charges; Castro has been released from a Texas jail pending extradition decisions.

Reform UK vows £80bn public spending cuts in five-year plan

Reform UK pledges to cut £80bn of public spending over five years, largely by shaving welfare by £50bn, plus £10bn from net-zero policies, £8bn from trimming the civil service and £7.1bn from capping overseas aid, with additional savings from immigration reforms; the party says it could cut taxes in its first Budget if markets trust it and will keep the state pension triple lock, while Labour warns the plan could jeopardize essential services. The proposals were outlined at a Birmingham conference alongside housing plans and other reforms.

DOJ charges ICE officer with lying about on-duty Minnesota shooting

An ICE officer, Christian Castro, was federally charged with making false statements about a shooting of a Venezuelan immigrant in Minnesota earlier this year; local prosecutors had already charged him with second-degree assault and filing a false report. DOJ says the incident followed an ICE attempt to pull over a vehicle, and Castro allegedly shot Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis through a door, with surveillance footage and other evidence reportedly conflicting with his account. The DOJ is also considering civil rights charges, and Castro has been released from a Texas jail amid ongoing extradition proceedings.

Court blocks Trump's latest bid to curb birthright citizenship

A U.S. judge issued a preliminary injunction blocking President Trump's new executive order aimed at narrowing birthright citizenship, including limits tied to birth tourism and children of 'alien enemies.' Citing the Supreme Court's June ruling, the judge said the order is almost certainly unconstitutional and paused enforcement while immigrant-rights groups challenge it; the administration is expected to appeal.

TPS Backlash Ties Haitian Student’s Death to Ankle Monitor

A 20-year-old Haitian college freshman, Pierre Damas Bel, died by apparent suicide in Springfield, Ohio, after being fitted with an ICE ankle monitor following the Supreme Court’s decision to end TPS for Haitians. Bel, who studied neuroscience at Wright State University and was active in soccer and JROTC, reportedly felt humiliated and bullied by the monitor and pleaded for its removal. ICE says it bears no responsibility; his family and community mourn amid calls for policy alternatives, while Ohio authorities continue an investigation into the death. The case underscores the human toll of TPS changes and immigrant stress in the Haitian community.

Sánchez: no advance warnings on Ceuta migrant surge, vows full dossier

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said there were no alerts before the July Ceuta influx, insisting officials only described data and did not predict the scale of about 60,000 arrivals. He pledged to publish a dossier of official reports, defended the government's handling of the crisis, noted that most migrants have since returned to Morocco, and urged stronger EU border cooperation including a permanent Frontex presence and an Europol mission, as protests erupted at home and some 10,000 migrants remain in Ceuta.

DOJ expands funding condition: states must report undocumented residents

The Justice Department’s new interpretation says that when states take federal funds for low‑income programs like TANF and SSI, they must report individuals not lawfully present in the U.S. to DHS, and this reporting duty would extend to all state agencies, not just benefit administration. The move, aimed at advancing mass deportation policies, is likely to trigger court challenges from states and revisits a Clinton‑era ruling from 1998; states are not retroactively penalized for past reliance but are expected to comply going forward.
