Billie Eilish multi million home is located on native American land.
Billie Eilish Gets Roasted Online for ‘Stolen Land’ Comment at Grammy Awards.
The Native American tribe that owns the land under Billie Eilish’s multimillion-dollar Los Angeles mansion said celebrities should “explicitly” reference the tribes if they want to use them to virtue-signal.
The Tongva tribe confirmed the “Bad Guy” singer’s $3 million home does sit on its “ancestral land,” after the 24-year-old used her Grammys acceptance speech to rail against ICE and insist that “no one is illegal on stolen land.”
The indigenous inhabitants of the Los Angeles Basin, known as the “First Angelenos,” said they appreciate Eilish’s sentiment, but noted that the performer hasn’t contacted them directly — and insisted that next time, she explicitly reference them. https://nypost.com/2026/02/03/us-news/n ... ys-speech/
So there are about 195 sovereign countries in the world, all of whom have some immigration (or emigration) activity to deal with. I don't think it's this high, but let's say for discussion that half these countries are not desirable to live in and dealing with immigrants isn't an issue. That leave about 100 countries who have to have some laws, policies, border security practices, etc. Some of the more desirable countries and those accepting a large number of refugees have more to deal with than others. The UK, for example, as well as Germany has a high number of immigrants and refugees entering the country each year. So what two countries have the biggest problems? That would be US at the top, followed by Russia, with problems including most attempted immigrants detained, highest percentage of immigrants detained, highest number of undocumented immigrants. So some, probably including Supes, might say that this just shows that the US and Russia do a better job at border security than others, but that doesn't address some major questions:
1. Why do wannabe immigrants comply with the documentation laws of most of the countries, but not US and Russia?
2. Do all those other countries have different ways of handling immigrants with less incarceration?
3. Do current immigration practices of US and Russia discourage immigration of people needed for the labor force?
4. Do any of those 100 or so countries have laws and policies that the US and Russia might adapt?
Every one of those congresscritters could find out what the actual problems are - and sadly they probably actually know but find it more politically expedient to keep on kicking that ol' immigration boogaboo football instead of doing something about it.
Let's summarize for them:
1. It's not "border security." Most of the undocumented people in the US did not sneak in over the Rio Grande or in drug boats from the islands.
2. The vast majority of those who do sneak in aren't sneaking. They're turning themselves in to Border Patrol to follow US law in seeking asylum. Whether they're eligible or not is another issue, but they're "LEGAL."
3. People tend to follow laws that they understand and are able to comply with - that include wannabe immigrants. Provide a workable path to immigration and they'll mostly follow it. Current policy makes compliance essentially impossible from a practical standpoint. Don't go to your hearing with the immigration judge? You're an ILLEGAL fugitive. Do go to your hearing? Get hauled away anyway.
4. In a world where a President* an wipe insurrection and assault convictions off the record with a misspelled tweet, the concept of "amnesty" should not be a bad word. A person guilty of no more than wanting to live in the US should be given a pathway, even if it includes some hoops to jump through.
5. There are far too many resources for hunt/capture and far too few for legal processing of immigrants. Fire some ICE goons; hire more judges and admin staff.
6. Ask why countries similar to the US and Russia are able to handle their immigration issues without shooting citizens in the street.
A federal judge ruled Monday night that federal agents are temporarily barred from arresting people at routine immigration court check-ins in New York City after the Trump administration revealed it should not have been making such arrests in the first place....
“This is fishing in a stocked pool. You tell them, ‘Show up at this location,’ and then they show up and you grab them,” one federal agent involved with immigration court arrests told HuffPost last year.
... The Door, an immigrants’ rights group that is a plaintiff in the case, “demonstrated a substantial likelihood” that the Trump administration policy will be found to be “arbitrary and capricious” when the full case is decided, wrote Judge P. Kevin Castel of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
The pause means that three New York City immigration courts and check-in sites will revert to the Biden-era policy, with arrests only permitted for national security threats and “imminent” risks.
The decision came after Justice Department attorneys admitted a “material mistaken statement of fact” and an “attorney agency error” on ICE’s part: Immigration and Customs Enforcement had asserted the right to make immigration arrests in court, but the legal memo it cited had, in fact, applied only to criminal courts, not to immigration courthouses.
The Justice Department attorneys told the judge that ICE attorneys had assured them that the courthouse arrest policy applied to immigration courts as well. The attorneys had stated as such as recently as January, the judge noted — only to reverse their position in March.
Translation: ICE LIED for months or more, even to the judge and DoJ. 1312
Castel wrote Monday that his decision to reexamine the courthouse arrests — after allowing them prior to the Trump administration admitting its “error” — was necessary “both to correct a clear error and prevent a manifest injustice.”
Opps.
... The decision could have national implications if organizations in other jurisdictions apply Castel’s legal logic.
“The 2025 ICE Courthouse Arrest Policies, on their face, appear to apply to all courthouses,” the judge noted.
x potentially hundreds of jurisdictions.
... “In the face of this administration’s ongoing targeting of our young members, this decision brings us hope,” Beth Baltimore, deputy director of The Door’s legal services center, said in a statement celebrating the decision.
“Our staff continues to work tirelessly to support Door members who were terrified to go to their required court appearances. We stand with our members to fight for those impacted by courthouse arrests, including those who remain detained, and other cruel policies.”
“For nearly a year, countless immigrant New Yorkers have been arrested simply for attending their court hearings at 26 Federal Plaza,” said Harold Solis, co-legal director of Make the Road New York, an immigrant rights group that has fought the courthouse arrest policy.
“Our clients tried to put a stop to this last year but were denied preliminary relief—based on what the government recently acknowledged was false information. All the while, immigration courthouses became places of fear, and not due process,” Solis said. “Almost on a daily basis, parents were ripped away from their children, students were detained, and loved ones disappeared into inhumane detention centers as a result of these immigration courthouse arrests. We welcome today’s decision, which for many will feel long overdue. For them and the countless others who remain fearful, we hope today signals an end to this chaos.”

... In a ruling harshly criticizing the administration, U.S. District Chief Judge John McConnell Jr. said the policy "threw the lives of countless immigrants living in the United States into indeterminate legal limbo," and he accused the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services of ignoring the law.
"In enacting its latest immigration policies, USCIS: claims statutory and regulatory authority that it does not possess; makes decisions without the reasoned explanations that it must provide; acts without regard for the reliance interests of applicants that it must consider; and justifies its actions with pretextual concerns of 'national security' that mask anti-immigrant sentiments that it is forbidden from letting influence its decision-making," he wrote. "In legal terms that means USCIS's actions are contrary to law and arbitrary and capricious."
Wow, tell us what you really think.
... The policies enacted after the National Guard shooting last year meant that immigrants from 39 African, Asian, Latin American, and Middle Eastern countries have been "categorically barred" from receiving final decisions on, among other things, their asylum, work permit, green card, and citizenship applications.
White supremacy in action, as usual.
"This ruling reaffirms a basic principle: the federal government cannot shut down lawful immigration pathways or discriminate against people based on where they come from," said Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward, which represented the plaintiffs in the case. "These unlawful policies caused enormous harm to families, workers, asylum-seekers, and communities across the country who were left in limbo, unable to work, access protections, or move forward with their lives."
... "This ruling sets a powerful precedent that the administration cannot ignore the law as laid down by Congress and cannot arbitrarily bar immigration benefits on the basis of national origin by fiat," Jamal Abdi, president at the National Iranian American Council, said. "Fortunately, this is still a nation of laws, and those who uphold America's values have recourse to challenge and push back on such discriminatory, arbitrary policies."
Shawn VanDiver, a Navy veteran who heads a coalition that supports Afghan resettlement efforts called #AfghanEvac, said the ruling was a "significant victory for the rule of law and for thousands of Afghan allies and other immigrants who followed every requirement asked of them."

Months of immigration enforcement controversies have taken their toll, and new polling shows it could be a problem for Republicans heading into the midterms.
About eight in 10 independent voters say U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has used too much force in its nationwide operations, according to a poll from YouGov, which sampled 1,000 voters in late July. It's a striking increase from 2025, when polls showed independents more divided on the issue.
The poll, commissioned by the Vera Institute of Justice, a nonprofit working to end mass incarceration, was conducted shortly after ICE agents shot and killed two immigrants during traffic stops in Maine and Texas over the span of six days in July....

The US builds $50 million drones so big and slow that Iran uses them for target practice. But at least the Pentagon has its flying money pits in the air. Which is more than the Department of Homeland Security has achieved.
In 2025, DHS committed $464 million to a no-bid contract to acquire 10 used airplanes from Daedalus Aviation Corporation. Three of those planes are luxury jets. DHS has already tried to lease two of them to other government departments, including Kash Patel’s FBI. The third is the notorious ‘Loveshack,’ kitted out with a luxurious bedroom and, according to the internet, used as a mile-high clubhouse by Former DHS boss Kristi Noem and her boy toy Corey Lewandowski.
The other seven are older Boeing 737 passenger jets, which the feds have left parked at an airport in Lake Charles, LA. A stasis that makes their purchase questionable. DHS bought the jets with no-bid contracts because the Trump administration said they had an ‘urgent’ need for them. A need that apparently evaporated before the ink was dry.
Further rendering the urgency claim absurd is that the planes needed maintenance. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to know that urgent aviation needs are poorly met by aircraft that aren’t ready to fly. In addition, DHS lacked the personnel to operate them.
This raises the question: Why did DHS buy the aircraft? The answer is no surprise. In October 2024, Daedalus Chairman William Walters donated $10,000 to American Resolve, a political committee supporting Noem. Everyone involved swears that the contribution had zero to do with future DHS purchases. Walters even denied knowing that the PAC had anything to do with Noem.
However, another Walters business, Salus Worldwide Solutions, also received a $1 billion no-bid contract to run Project Homecoming. Salus, a company incorporated only a year earlier, was paid to provide cash bonuses, free flights, and a “concierge service” at airports for departing migrants. However, Salus had no experience in that line of work—or any other for that matter. This was its first federal contract....

... The Central African Republic is one of the poorest countries in the world. Armed conflict, political instability and Russian mercenaries have also made it one of the most dangerous. The State Department warns Americans through a Level 4 travel advisory not to visit the country, citing the widespread insecurity there.
The landlocked nation is one of more than 30 countries the U.S. government has convinced to accept third-country deportees arrested as part of President Trump's large-scale crackdown on illegal immigration. The list includes a growing number of African countries, many of which are plagued by armed conflict, repressive governments and human rights abuses....
