- by Michael Phillips - Leave a Comment

The dispute over the FBI’s headquarters reflects political maneuvering rather than sound policy. The Trump administration’s reversal of the move to Maryland’s Greenbelt site, seen as a political favor, favors fiscal responsibility by opting for the existing Ronald Reagan Building in D.C., which saves money and time while meeting operational needs.

- by Michael Phillips - Leave a Comment

The Department of Justice says the case is over — and for once, they’re right. After returning Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the U.S. following his controversial deportation, federal officials now argue the lawsuit filed by his family is moot. While his attorneys cry foul and demand further accountability, the bigger picture remains: Garcia is back, but now he’s facing serious human smuggling charges.
