Judicial Watch announced recently it sued Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for records regarding his vow to resist the Trump administration’s mass deportation and other immigration law enforcement activities.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made the following statement on President Trump’s inauguration as the 47th president of the United States: The Left tried through lawfare and every other trick in the book to derail this electoral victory, but the voters essentially found Trump “innocent” of his political opponents’ fake charges. Trump persevered and triumphed in the courts, as well as in the court of public opinion. Let us hope that his success puts an end to the practice of lawfare for good.

More than five years after Judicial Watch published a White Paper providing comprehensive documentation that Mexican drug cartels undoubtedly meet U.S. government requirements to be designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) the Trump administration is finally making it happen. It is important to note however, that during his first term the president announced he would designate cartels as FTOs but days later did an about-face to appease then Mexican President Manuel Lopez Obrador. Trump claimed that the U.S. and Mexico would instead step up their joint efforts to “deal decisively” with the “vicious” cartels, which never happened.

In what has become a decades-long joke, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is once again postponing the deadline to fully enforce a law requiring driver’s license security standards designed to prevent another terrorist attack. Unbelievably, among the reasons for the latest delay is that the public expects it based on the government’s history of repeatedly extending enforcement deadlines. The measure, REAL ID Act, was passed by Congress after 9/11 to establish a more secure national system less prone to fraud after several of the hijackers exploited loopholes to obtain dozens of driver’s licenses from various states. The cards allowed the terrorists to take flight lessons and board planes to carry out the 2001 attacks. At the recommendation of the 9/11 Commission Congress passed the REAL ID Act in 2005 and states originally had until 2011 to comply.
