DHS exposes dilemma behind SCOTUS deportation fight: ‘We have two choices’

The Supreme Court temporarily cleared the Trump administration to continue its third-country deportation policy this week, as DHS’ top lawyer mounts a public defense of an immigration authority the administration says previous presidents largely left dormant. DHS has increasingly used so-called "third-country" removals when a removable alien cannot be returned to their home country or that country refuses to take them back — part of what agency General Counsel James Percival describes as a broader Trump strategy of reviving immigration authorities already on the books.

"Imagine going to a country and saying, hey, we've got a guy, he's not your guy, and he's a rapist, but can he please live there?" Percival told Fox News Digital. "That's not an easy ask. It requires significant diplomatic energy… Norway is not taking a rapist from Cuba."
TRUMP’S SPECIAL STRATEGY TO DEPORT ILLEGALS GIVES HIM ANOTHER TOOL FOR ENFORCEMENT
The justices on Tuesday stayed a lower-court judgment restricting DHS’s policy, allowing the administration’s guidance to remain in effect while the Court considers the case on the merits. Arguments are set for December over whether agency procedures comply with federal immigration law, due process and safeguards against torture. The case does not squarely challenge DHS’s underlying authority to conduct third-country removals, but rather the procedures it must follow beforehand. "It’s in the statute expressly that we can do this," he said. "If you go back and read most of the immigration laws, there's a lot of really good tools in there that people just haven't used."
The third-country provision was included in a major immigration reform package passed by Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton in 1996: the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA). "A lot of people in government sort of treat their authority like fine china," Percival remarked. "They're afraid if they ever actually use it, someone will take it away. And if you've ever owned fine china, it's like you can find yourself at the end of your life and you were so afraid you would break it you never used it."
TRUMP’S FIGHT OVER RARELY USED 18TH-CENTURY DEPORTATION LAW LIVES ON IN LATEST COURT CLASH
But Percival’s strategy has not come without blowback from human rights advocates, who pointed most recently to allegations that deportees were beaten by authorities in Equatorial Guinea, a tiny nation on Africa’s Atlantic coast that has been under the control of President Teodoro Obiang since 1979. Obiang's government received $7.5 million from Washington as part of an agreement with Malabo to accept third-country deportations. "I’d rather live in the United States than Equatorial Guinea too, but I’m an American citizen and I haven’t killed anybody," Percival said. The detention issue traces in part to the Supreme Court’s 2001 decision in a case involving a stateless legal resident whom the government ordered deported due to his criminal record. Kestutis Zadvydas was born to Lithuanian parents in a German displaced- persons camp, but neither Lithuania nor Germany would accept him. The court held that six months of post-removal detention is presumptively reasonable, after which continued detention can be challenged if removal is not reasonably foreseeable. Percival is making that case publicly through his "Daily Deportee" series on X, highlighting criminal deportees whose home countries will not accept them. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER
"If the person is a child rapist and serves 20 years, we have two choices: Find a third country — or let the child rapist go live in an American community," he said, adding that the effort is intended to shape public understanding of the issue and highlight its stakes. Percival cited Burmese national Kyaw Mya, whose home country won’t take him back. Percival said another case he plans to feature involves a migrant who committed a violent crime, was not removed by the Bush administrati

Socialist mayor’s new answer to rampant retail crime ignites fury: ‘Bandage on a bullet wound’

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is rolling out city-funded security for grocery stores facing theft, break-ins and vandalism, fueling criticism that Seattle is spending taxpayer money to protect businesses from crime instead of doing enough to stop it in the first place. The socialist mayor announced the rollout of the security funding as part of a $1.7 million grocery-support initiative included in the city's 2026 budget earlier this week.

more…

"Keeping our neighborhood grocery stores safe and supported is essential to making sure every Seattleite has a reliable, affordable grocery store near them," Wilson said on social media Monday. The plan will help 10 independent grocery stores pay for improvements and get a year of business support, while stores hit hard by retail theft can get one-time funding for security upgrades and repairs. 'WASTEFUL DISTRACTION': EXPERTS SLAM MAMDANI'S TAXPAYER-FUNDED GROCERY STORES
The security funding is already drawing criticism from conservatives who argue the city is spending public money to help businesses absorb the consequences of crime rather than focusing enough resources on preventing it. "The best way to support grocery store — and all businesses — is to actually enforce the law with a fully staffed and funded police department. Giving money or resources to fix businesses that are broken by crime is a bandage on a bullet wound," Seattle-based KTTH host and conservative commentator Jason Rantz told Fox News Digital. SMALL-BUSINESS OWNER URGES SEATTLE LEADERS TO ACT NOW ON PUBLIC DRUG USE AND SLOW EMERGENCY RESPONSE
"We don’t need to think outside the box here. Just enforce the law and put criminals in jail. That works like a charm and will save everyone money and headaches," Rantz added. "Is there no single human in Seattle willing to identify the criminals and end the crime instead," asked an X user. "Seattle is arguably the worst city in the entire country right now, in terms of the rampant crime, widespread degradation and lawlessness that’s apparently gotten exponentially worse across the board over the last 2-3 yrs," another user chimed in. NEW YORK SOCIALIST LAWMAKER TAKES HEAT AFTER SAYING SHOPLIFTING RESULTS FROM 'BIOLOGICAL NEED'
"That used to be called the police department. What are these security guards going to do? Make arrests? Observe & report? The criminals will walk right past the security with their stolen goods. If they detain they will be sued. Cops will not arrest the shoplifters or prosecute," said one person. "Goodness! imagine how much nicer the city would be if they simply arrested and charged criminals and put them in jail? Normal people shouldn't have to shop at stores with security guards. NONE of this was necessary in most parts of Seattle 15 years ago," wrote an X user. "So we are working around the problem by increasing security instead of arresting the problem," said another person. The city will also work with the Independent Grocers Alliance to study eight neighborhoods for potential new grocery stores, according to the plan. Wilson floated the idea of exploring a "public option" for grocery stores during her 2025 mayoral campaign, including models that could involve publicly supported or city-run grocery stores. While the new initiative is separate from those proposals, critics argued the city should focus more heavily on arresting and prosecuting retail thieves rather than spending additional money helping stores deal with the damage caused by crime. The grocery security funding was first proposed by former Mayor Bruce Harrell as $1 million for grocery-store security in his 2026 budget, specifically targeting retail theft, property damage and other crimes. City leaders pushed to cut police spending amid the 2020 "Black Lives Matter" movement and the city subsequently experienced a steep decline in police staffing, with the department falling from 1,424 officers in 2019 to 1,054 in 2024 before hiring began to rebound, the Seattle Mayor's Office previously repor

Hamas allegedly built weapons depots across Europe, planned terror attacks as Oct 7 anniversary neared

The German federal prosecutor’s office recently announced that it indicted seven people for allegedly securing weapons for the Hamas terrorist organization, with the goal of launching terrorist attacks on the second remembrance date of the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel.

more…

The indictment has catapulted the danger of Hamas’ network in Europe to Israeli, American and European installations and citizens into the spotlight. According to the prosecutor’s office, "All of the accused belong to the foreign terrorist organization Hamas. Some time ago, the organization’s military wing (the so-called Qassam Brigades) began establishing weapons depots in Europe. No later than July 2025, Hamas planned a concrete assassination in Germany or Austria targeting representatives of Israel, people of Jewish faith, or persons with pro-Israel views." The seven suspects were arrested between Oct. 2025 and May 2026. SUSPECTED HAMAS TERRORIST ARRESTED IN GREECE FOR ALLEGEDLY PLOTTING ATTACK ON ISRAELI CRUISE SHIP
The statement added, "The attack was to take place in close temporal proximity to the second anniversary of Hamas’s assault on Israel on 7 October 2023 — i.e., in early October 2025."
The indictment listed the nationalities and first names and first letter of the last name of the suspects: German national Abed Al G., Danish national Yousif C., Lebanon-born Borhan El-K., Lebanon-born Wael F.M., German national Ahmad I., Lebanon-born Kamel M., Bulgarian national Mohammad S."
German law shields the last names of criminal suspects for privacy reasons. The German prosecutors said the suspected Hamas terrorists "had already obtained a functional fully automatic rifle, 13 functional pistols and more than 700 rounds of ammunition. Mohammed A., who is being prosecuted separately, transported some of the weapons to Vienna and stored them there."
According to the German paper Die Welt, "One of the accused was working as a confidential informant for Germany’s domestic intelligence agency. The files show that the informant continued reporting to his intelligence handler while allegedly failing to disclose the full extent of his own involvement in obtaining ammunition for the group."
EXCLUSIVE: ISRAEL SEIZES VAST IRAN TERROR AXIS ARSENAL WITH SURPRISING FOREIGN ORIGINS
Sascha Adamek, a German journalist and the author of the 2026 book "Infiltration: Political Islam Continues Its Advance" told Fox News Digital that "Now the policy of previous federal governments is coming back to haunt them: until 2023 they allowed Hamas and its front organizations to use Germany as a ‘safe haven’ for fundraising and recruitment and also for the radicalization of young people. This dirty deal — that Hamas does not use violence in this country and is therefore left to operate freely — has long been obsolete."
According to the most recent Federal German domestic intelligence report, Hamas could have had as many as 650 operatives in Germany during 2025, the last year of tracking. In 2024, 550 Hamas operatives were active and in 2023 the number totaled 450. The intelligence officials wrote in the report that "The figures refer to Germany and are partly estimated and rounded." According to the report, 1,250 Hezbollah operatives are active in Germany. UN AGENCY ACCUSED OF HAMAS TIES SEES ANOTHER EUROPEAN NATION CUT FUNDING
When asked why Germany is allowing Hamas and Hezbollah operatives and members to conduct activities within its territory, the press office of the German Federal Ministry of the Interior told Fox News Digital in part, that, "Hamas, which has been banned from operating in Germany since 2023, has a network of supporters and followers; however, for many years they have tended to act with restraint in public and avoid any outward signs of connection to the organization."
The Interior Ministry’s press office added that "Hezbollah, which is also subject to a ban on its activities in Germany, is not organized under any nationwide umbrella organization or similar supraregional

Army veteran paratrooper who deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan before helping rescue Fox News reporter dead at 50

Sean Michael Lee, an Army paratrooper who helped evacuate thousands from conflict zones after his service — including Fox News' Benjamin Hall — died Sunday after a battle with esophageal cancer. Lee was a 20-year veteran of the Army, having served multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan as a member of the Army's storied 82nd Airborne Division, according to his obituary.

"He was, to his core, a paratrooper. Long after he took off the uniform, the values forged there remained the organizing principles of his life: duty, loyalty, competence under pressure, and an unwavering commitment to the person beside him," his obituary reads. AMERICA’S PROMISE TO OUR AFGHAN ALLIES IS STILL UNFINISHED FIVE YEARS LATER
Lee spent the years after his military service continuing to help people. In 2021, as Afghanistan's government was collapsing, Lee worked to help evacuate thousands during a chaotic withdrawal as a member of the nonprofit group Save Our Allies. Just a year later, Lee was in Poland helping deliver supplies to the frontline in Ukraine in the midst of Russia's invasion. It was there that Lee became a key part of extracting Fox News correspondent Benjamin Hall, who had been severely injured when Russian forces attacked his vehicle near Kyiv. Two members of Hall’s crew were killed in the attack. BENJAMIN HALL TACKLES GRUELING ONE WORLD TRADE CENTER CLIMB ON PROSTHETIC LEGS TO HONOR FALLEN HEROES
"We got the call, we had just finished up a staff meeting with our folks back in the United States, and I can tell you that in about 90 minutes our guys were out the door and on the way," Lee explained to the Daily Caller during a 2022 interview. Lee also worked to help wounded veterans through The Independence Fund. In 2024, Lee helped deliver life-saving supplies to survivors of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. He lived out of a tent in the Tar Heel state as he helped deliver aid to communities where support systems had collapsed, according to his obituary. LUKE COMBS AND ERIC CHURCH RAISE OVER $24.5 MILLION FOR HURRICANE VICTIMS AT STAR-STUDDED CONCERT FOR CAROLINA
Most recently, Lee had been working under Secretary Doug Collins at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. He was part of the U.S. military's 2003 invasion of Iraq. He was also part of the storied Bravo Company in the 2-508 Parachute Infantry Regiment. Half of the company received Purple Hearts for an Afghanistan deployment that was documented in Ben Kesling’s book "Bravo Company: An Afghanistan Deployment and its Aftermath."
Lee's two best friends — Sgt. Michael Verardo and Sgt. Allen Thomas — both of whom deployed with him to Afghanistan, passed away before him. Lee's cancer was the direct result of his exposure to the burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan. He died at age 50. VETERANS FACE SURPRISING THREAT AFTER CANCER DIAGNOSIS, STUDY REVEALS
"I can’t even begin to explain what the world has just lost," former MMA fighter and Special Forces sniper Tim Kennedy wrote in a post on Instagram. "This country has lost one of the finest men ever to serve it," Kennedy's message continued. "Sean redefined the word service. He did not just volunteer to put on the uniform and join the 82nd Airborne. He dedicated his entire life to other people. He put his life on the line more times than anyone can count. Wherever people needed help, you found Sean. Whenever I needed help, I found Sean," Kennedy wrote. Lee's life "cannot be measured simply in years, deployments, jobs, or missions. It is measured in people who made it home because he went toward danger," his obituary, shared by Heritage Funeral & Cremation Services, says. "In wounded men carried to safety. In Afghan families given a chance to begin again. In communities that received help when they believed they had been forgotten. In veterans whose lives were better because he continued serving them after his own time in uniform ended. And in the children who simply knew him as Uncle Sean: the constant, fiercely protective man who
