Chinese man accused of illegally voting in landlord’s name to ruin his immigration status

If South Korea won’t defend Hormuz, Trump should pull the nuclear umbrella

President Donald Trump’s decision to curtail the Ulchi Freedom Shield exercises exposes a foundational pathology within the U.S.-South Korea alliance. For decades, Washington has tolerated a dangerous asymmetry: Seoul expects the protection of 28,500 American troops, continuous joint training, and billions in U.S. taxpayer subsidies, yet blinks at broader global threats.

Trump tries birthright citizenship again — and this time, he read the fine print

I’ve spent a career drafting language that has to mean exactly one thing under stress: contracts, offering memoranda, expert reports, the kind of documents where a loose word costs a client real money.

Democrats embrace socialist calls to abolish ICE

Woke 1 may have been crazy, but Woke 2 is shaping up to be even crazier. Last week, at its summer meeting in Austin, Texas, the Democratic National Committee’s Resolutions Committee approved a resolution calling on Democrats in Congress to draft legislation that would “abolish” Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Previous versions had called only for […]
