Justice Department activates untested court for ‘alien terrorist’ deportations

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has filed a first-ever petition to a secretive and dormant court created 30 years ago to consider government requests to deport so-called "alien terrorists" from the United States. The Alien Terrorist Removal Court was established in 1996 but had never received a petition until this past Wednesday, when the Justice Department filed an application seeking the removal of an individual whose name is withheld from the single-page document posted on the court's website. The chief judge of the five-member court, Joan Ericksen, said in a written ...

AIPAC has spent a record amount on Michigan’s Senate primary, the biggest test of its influence yet

SOUTH HAVEN, Mich. (AP) — Senate candidate Haley Stevens talks often about manufacturing, taking on President Donald Trump and why she's the Democrat best positioned to win Michigan.

Friday's appeals court ruling in the New Jersey case goes further than a July 2024 ruling from a federal judge, who said that ...

Wheeling tops Parkersburg for Area 1 championship

WHEELING — On a hazy day at Wheeling Park High School, one thing was clear when Wheeling Post 1 and Parkersburg Post 15 took to the field Friday: both teams would be going to the West Virginia American Legion state tournament, where two teams from each area advance, but only one would hoist the Area 1 Championship. Playing in game two of a best-of-three series, Post 1 defeated Post 15 3-2 to win their fourth-straight Area title and head to state competition with a ton of momentum. “We talked to these guys early on in June and there's two goals,” Post 1 head coach Jon-Michael ...
