Hundreds of foreign students who enrolled at a Michigan university that turned out to be a sting operation run by federal immigration officials can sue the government to recoup their tuition, a federal appeals court ruled last week. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled on June 25 that the U.S. government wasn't immune from a 2020 lawsuit filed by Teja Ravi, a former student at the fake "University of Farmington," on behalf of himself and other students, because it entered into contracts with hundreds of students like Ravi for services that it never delivered. The ruling over...

Les Pays-Bas ont un nouveau gouvernement et, avec lui, de nouvelles idées. Dick Schoof, un indépendant de 67 ans, a pris les rênes du gouvernement, soutenu par une coalition de quatre partis : le PVV (extrême droite et nationaliste), le VVD (conservateur et libéral), le BBB (populiste et favorable aux agriculteurs) et le NSC (centre-droit), un nouveau venu. En raison du poids dominant du PVV dans cette alliance inattendue, leur programme commun met fortement l'accent sur la migration, un sujet brûlant qui a provoqué l'effondrement du gouvernement précédent et dominé le cycle électoral de l'ann...

A federal judge has awarded $1.5 million to a family after their two children, a boy and a girl who are U.S. citizens, were wrongly detained at the U.S.-Mexico in 2019. The family lives in Mexico, but the children attend school in the United States. As they attempted to cross the border as they regularly do, Customs and Border Patrol agents stopped them because they believed the photo on the then-9-year-old girl's passport was not of her. She was taken into a room and interrogated by a single agent, a violation of CBP policy, which was not recorded. She reportedly confessed that the girl on th...

On Friday, the Supreme Court overturned Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, a 1984 ruling that gave government agencies broad discretion to interpret "ambiguous" laws. "Critics have long complained that Chevron deference allowed bureaucrats to usurp a judicial function and systematically disadvantaged 'the little guy' in disputes with an overweening administrative state," wrote Reason's Jacob Sullum of the Friday decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless v. Department of Commerce. The decision will impact the way agencies regulate fields such as environmental an...

Washington (AFP) - The United States has deported a group of Chinese migrants who entered the country illegally in the first such large charter flight since 2018, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Tuesday. The flight to China over the weekend carrying 116 people was conducted in "close coordination" with the Chinese authorities, the department said. "DHS continues to work with (China's) Ministry of Public Security and National Immigration Administration on additional removal flights," it said. Washington is working with Beijing "to reduce and deter irregular migration and to disru...

Non-Chinese permanent residents will soon be eligible for a Mainland Travel Permit card to enable speedy clearance at self-service gates when travelling across the Chinese border. The announcement coincided with Monday’s Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment Day, marking 27 years since the Handover to China. Cards will be issued from July 10. In a Monday statement, Chief Executive John Lee thanked Beijing and said the move will allow foreign talent to do business in the Greater Bay Area of southern China more easily: “Many non-Chinese Hong Kong permanent residents have deep roo...

During a podcast appearance last week, former President Donald Trump made an uncharacteristic argument. "What I will do, is you graduate from a college, I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country," he said, adding that he would even include graduates of junior colleges. A Trump campaign spokesperson quickly tempered that proposal, promising an "aggressive vetting process" that would "exclude all communists, radical Islamists, Hamas supporters, America haters and public charges." The green card offer would only apply to college...

After casting my first vote for Jimmy Carter in the 1980 presidential election, I was shell-shocked after Ronald Reagan was swept into office. Then something odd happened. I was buoyed by Reagan's optimism, became convinced about the evils of communism and came to realize the free-market economy—rather than expanded federal power—offers the best hope for the downtrodden (and everyone). The Gipper convinced me. He had some help from former Buffalo Bills quarterback and then-U.S. Rep. Jack Kemp (R–N.Y.), who was an architect of Reagan's tax cuts. I was influenced by one of his articles making th...

Overwhelmed by a major increase in migrants seeking asylum in recent years, Cyprus is struggling to process their cases. While waiting for their legal status to be determined, most asylum seekers live well below the poverty line, and many rely on charity. "I am suffering with health issues. Because of that, I am not able to have a normal life and I'm just a single mom," an asylum seeker from Afghanistan told Euronews. "God forbid anything was to happen to me. Who is going to take care of my son? He's underage." Most asylum seekers live well below the poverty line. Many ended up on the Mediterr...

Immigration is a top issue for American voters and was widely expected to play a major role in tonight's debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. In a section devoted to the issue, neither candidate could muster up a positive vision for the country's immigration system, focusing instead on enforcement-heavy rhetoric and neglecting the benefits of immigrants. Asked about the high number of illegal border crossings under his watch, Biden quickly took a hawkish tone: "By the way, the Border Patrol endorsed me, endorsed my position." He criticized Trump for "separating...
