The White House late Sunday responded to speculation about whether the Trump administration had defied court orders in having deported to El Salvador roughly 200 illegal migrants, including alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

“The administration did not ‘refuse to comply’ with a court order,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, said in a statement. “The order, which had no lawful basis, was issued after terrorist TdA aliens had already been removed from U.S. territory.”

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday to expand his authority over “so-called independent agencies” in a bid to rein in regulatory departments currently outside of the White House’s control.

The order directs independent agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to submit regulatory proposals to the president for his review. It also calls for the head of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Russ Vought, to review agency spending and ensure it aligns with presidential priorities.

Commentary: The Democrat Party’s Self-Destruction

American Greatness
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

The Democratic Party is polling about 31 percent approval, a near-historic low.

Despite enjoying a huge lead in fundraising, legacy media favoritism, and incumbency, in the 2024 election, Democrats lost the White House to Donald Trump. Ever since, they have offered nothing new, no novel agenda, no innovative policies—nothing other than screaming that they are loudly against everything and anything that the president is for.

Daily Caller News Foundation

President Joe Biden’s attempt to rewrite Title IX to include gender identity was officially blocked by a federal court Thursday.

The rule rewrite would have allowed biological males to compete in women’s sports and use women’s spaces. Challengers to the rule hailed the court’s decision, with Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti declaring the ruling to be a “massive win.”

Commentary: To Avoid Another Russiagate, Trump Needs to Declassify Everything

Donald Trump

Following Congress’ certification of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election on Jan. 6, all eyes now turn towards Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration and most importantly, to his first days in office and the work to be done in enacting his agenda.

The first president since Grover Cleveland to serve non-consecutive terms, Trump has a lot of unfinished business — completing the border wall, extending and expanding his tax cuts, restoring American energy dominance, using tariffs to bolster American production and so forth — but certainly cleaning up the national security apparatus that was weaponized against him before he was ever elected in 2016 has to be a top priority.
