Court reveals Trump gave Iranian regime access to asylum seekers ahead of deportations

President Donald Trump has resumed open hostilities with Iran, waging a war in apocalyptic terms and painting them clearly as an enemy. But behind the scenes, his administration was cooperating with Iran for one specific reason: deportations.According to The New York Times, sworn affidavits "provide a detailed account of behind-the-scenes contacts that led the United States to deport more than 100 Iranians to Tehran between September 2025 and January 2026, not long before the initiation of U.S. military action against Iran in February."The Iranian American Legal Defense Fund alleges that in the process, the Trump administration violated the law to share confidential information with the Islamic Republic, endangering the deportees' lives and subjecting them to persecution in their country of origin.All of this unfolded despite the fact that "the United States and Iran have had no formal diplomatic relationship since 1979, and America has generally welcomed people seeking refuge from persecution by the Iranian government," noted the report.Cyrus Mehri, a workplace discrimination lawyer who co-founded the IALDF last year, "described a phone call and meeting this March with an unnamed Iranian official" who claims to have been in long-term contact with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. "Mr. Mehri stated that the contact had started with an 'unsolicited and unexpected' call from the official, whom he had met previously, and who proceeded to share his views about the discussions to deport Iranians, even after Mr. Mehri informed him that they were working 'on opposite sides' of the issue."All of this comes as the Iran war continues to rage, with no end in sight and disastrous consequences for global energy markets.It also comes as ICE is under a fresh wave of mounting public outrage, after traffic stops in Houston and Maine ended in agents killing people who weren't even their targets. ICE briefly paused traffic stops in response to outcry, but resumed them again from orders on high given by Trump.

Red state courts Trump-allied Hollywood giant looking to flee California: reports

A red state is capitalizing on a major Hollywood studio's rift with California over a Trump-backed merger, per reports.According to a Tuesday article by The Hollywood Reporter, Tennessee is courting Paramount Skydance as it sets its sights on a new home. Paramount Skydance has threatened to leave California after a coalition of a dozen attorneys general filed a lawsuit to block a $111 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. The Trump Department of Justice greenlit the merger earlier this year.The Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development sent a letter on July 2 to Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison, in which it tried to woo the Trump-allied chairman."Congratulations on this remarkable new chapter for Paramount Skydance. Few leaders have the opportunity to redefine an iconic company while simultaneously shaping the future of an industry," reads the letter, signed by Tennessee Deputy Governor Stuart McWhorter. "As you look ahead, I encourage you to consider Tennessee as the home for that future."The Hollywood Reporter noted that Ellison used to live on and off in Tennessee for 11 years from 2014 to 2025. The Reporter added that Oracle, the tech company owned by Larry Ellison, plans on building a massive campus in Nashville, and Clay Magouyrk, the co-CEO of Oracle, lives in Tennessee. Warner Bros. Discovery also used to maintain an office complex in Knoxville after a 2017 Scripps Network deal. Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of the historic Hollywood studio, sold the property in 2023, according to The Hollywood Reporter."Tennessee offers a compelling proposition: a state where creativity and technology converge, where talent is developed intentionally, and where innovation is embraced," the letter promised.

Trump's epic court smackdown leaves Chris Hayes taken aback: 'Stunk to high heaven'

Trump's epic court smackdown leaves Chris Hayes taken aback: 'Stunk to high heaven'

With President Donald Trump's IRS lawsuit that motivated the "anti-weaponization" slush fund officially declared invalid by a federal judge, and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche facing possible sanctions as he heads to the Senate for confirmation, MS NOW's Chris Hayes took in the situation — and registered astonishment at how corrupt it all was.Blanche, noted Hayes, appears to be "on a glide path to confirmation" despite it all — but concerned senators should still seize the moment to put him on the spot."They could also ask about his role in the creation of a slush fund for insurrectionists and an IRS audit shield for the Trump family, and that might be one of the most interesting lines of questioning tomorrow, because on the eve of his hearings, a federal judge has accused blanch of professional, unethical and sanctionable behavior for his role in that," said Hayes, noting that the judge, Kathleen Williams, is forwarding her ruling to the New York Bar to possibly discipline Blanche.Williams, noted Hayes, concluded her opinion by writing, "this was an attempt to use the court to provide some legitimacy to an agreement to confer immunity to people and entities affiliated with the president ... this lawsuit was not brought to vindicate rights. It was brought to manipulate the judicial process to pursue benefits unavailable in litigation."Hayes then turned to Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), who dropped in for an interview on "All In."This kind of order, noted Hayes, is "so rare," and "the case itself stunk to high heaven from the beginning, it seemed obviously pretextual ... but here's a guy who's going to come before the committee to be the most important lawyer in the country. And a federal judge has just said that the bar should investigate him and possibly disbar him."Whitehouse agreed, comparing the situation to the GOP's confirmation of Trump's former attorney, Emil Bove, to be an appellate judge even while he was being investigated for contempt of court. "Rather than wait until that was resolved, they jammed him through before it could be resolved, so they didn't have to know the result of it," he said. "I'm worried that that will be the case here, but this is quite a big deal." - YouTube www.youtube.com
