A federal judge has found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt for defying a court order to stop deporting Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador.

The administration cited the Alien Enemies Act—a rarely used wartime law—to justify the removals, claiming gang affiliations. Judge Boasberg ruled the action was a willful disregard of court orders.

🧾 The government has until April 23, 2025 to respond—or face serious legal consequences.

Navigating Federal Drug Charges What to Expect in Texas

Facing federal drug charges in Texas can be overwhelming. These charges often come with serious consequences, such as long prison sentences and hefty fines. Federal drug charges differ from state charges, typically involving larger quantities or drugs that cross state lines. Common charges include possession with intent to distribute, trafficking, and conspiracy.

The federal drug case process can be complex, starting with an initial court appearance and followed by the discovery phase, where your lawyer reviews evidence. During pre-trial, negotiations may lead to a plea agreement, but if the case goes to trial, both sides will present their arguments. If convicted, penalties can range from years in prison to life, along with financial fines.

A skilled defense attorney is crucial for protecting your rights and ensuring the best possible outcome. At McCarty Larson, PLLC, we are here to guide you through this challenging process and fight for your future. If you’re facing federal drug charges, contact us today to schedule a consultation.

A Federal Court in the United States (US) recently rejected the appeal of the TikTok Application or “App” to overturn a Law which required it to be sold to US Companies or be banned there by early next Year of 2025.

TikTok said that they will now take the fight to the US Supreme Court, but it remains to be seen if they will be banned or not while their Case is in the SC. Actually, this Government of Bong Bong Marcos (BBM) was already eager to ban the App before because of its ownership by a Chinese Company, but was hesitant to do so because of its popularity.

But if the US does ban the App in their Country, then I am sure the Philippines will follow right away because they will use that as justification, and the Country is now, of course, a subservient Dog of the US.

TikTok isn’t and won’t be easily replaced by other Apps because of its unique Algorithm (which means a set of Instructions or Rules designed to perform specific Tasks or solve Problems) which allows ordinary People to have a better chance of going Viral in their Platform.

This Algorithm is actually a “Trade Secret”, which is why China will not allow the Company to be sold to other Nationalities. So either the ownership of TikTok by China stays, or it will be banned in the US.

News from Australia, 18 July

Constitutional expert Prof Greg Craven is furious at being quoted in the no campaign's essay and will complain to the Australian Electoral Commission.

Craven accuses the no campaign of misleading conduct and criticizes their essay as embarrassing, while prominent yes campaigners slam it as cooked and filled with misleading information.

The no essay includes quotes from Craven that oppose the voice, despite him publicly supporting it, leading to accusations of misleading and disreputable tactics.

2. Labor plans to scrap the policy that strips government subsidies and loans from university students who fail half their subjects.

The interim review of the university system highlights inequality in higher education and the need to address student safety and staff underpayments.

The government aims to increase university enrolments and boost participation from disadvantaged backgrounds to meet the future skills challenge.

More on this:

The majority of Australians will have a university degree in the next 15 years, emphasizing the increasing demand for educated workers. The Australian government recognizes the need for changes in the university system to make it more accessible to students from various backgrounds, including those from outer suburbs, regions, poor backgrounds, students with disabilities, and Indigenous students. The government has outlined immediate actions to address these challenges, such as abolishing the 50% pass rule, increasing funding for First Nations students, establishing additional Regional University Study Hubs, and providing support for universities to improve governance.

3. The Federal Court in Australia has ruled that the government's plan to build a nuclear waste dump on the land of the Barngarla people in South Australia cannot proceed.

The court found that there was "apprehended bias" and "pre-judgment" by the former resources minister, Keith Pitt, in deciding on the location of the facility.

The Barngarla Determination Aboriginal Corporation (Bdac) had challenged the decision, arguing that the minister had already made up his mind before the formal declaration.

The Barngarla people celebrated the court's ruling, stating that it was a victory for listening to and respecting First Nations people.

The government had spent nearly $14 million in legal costs fighting the Barngarla people's opposition.

Environmental campaigners argue that the waste should be kept at the Lucas Heights facility in Sydney instead.

The current resources minister, Madeleine King, said she would review the ruling.

4. July is bowel cancer awareness month in Australia. The National Cancer Screening Register (NCSR) is a digital platform that aims to increase participation in screening programs for bowel and cervical cancer.

5. A new report has found that more Australians are living alone than ever before. Based on the latest census data, the Australian Institute of Family Studies report found more than one in four households, 26% are now occupied by one person. The average Australian household has shrunk from 2.6 people in 2016 to 2.5 people in 2021, the first decrease in household size since the year 2000. Those living alone are mostly women at 55%, with half the women living alone aged 65 years or older. The report also found that Australian households are more diverse, with more than 1/3 their immigrant households and increasing proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders [per Nirs News/Triple A | Murri Country].

George Santos to Plead Guilty: The End of a Political Tale?

🚨 Breaking News: Former Rep. George Santos, who famously faced a deluge of fraud allegations, is gearing up to plead guilty in a federal case. Santos, once a rising political figure, is expected to change his plea during a federal court hearing this Monday. 🤔 With 23 federal charges, ranging from wire fraud to lying on official reports, his political career has taken a nosedive since his election in 2022.

Santos’ downfall began with reports he’d embellished his resume, and soon escalated into allegations of more severe fraud and financial misconduct, costing him his seat in Congress by a vote of 311 to 114.

What do you think? Is this the final chapter in Santos' political saga, or could there be a comeback in his future? And what does this mean for political accountability in general? Let's discuss! ⬇️

BREAKING:

Supreme Court vacates a nationwide TRO halting deportations under the Alien Enemies Act—not because due process doesn't apply, but because lower courts lack the authority to issue sweeping national orders.

📜 SCOTUS in Trump v. J.G.G. (2025)

⚖️ The ruling reinforces:

✔️ Due process is required.

❌ But judicial power must stay within constitutional bounds—district courts can’t govern nationwide.

👉 Beware the narrative framing this as a battle of liberty vs. executive power.

This is an opinion enforcing the limited power of lower courts, not expanding executive reach.

Once again Barrett sides with the liberal justices. When will the influencers stop referring to her as a "conservative?"
