Trump Trolls 'Moron' Joe Biden, Claims 2020 Election Stolen, Slams 'Weak' Judges In Easter Post President Donald Trump took an unorthodox approach to what is a routine Easter celebration message, when he relitigated old grudges and attacked his political opponents, calling former President Joe Biden a "highly destructive Moron." Trump posted "Happy Easter" messages on Sunday morning, April 20. The first was the more traditional fare, wishing Christians a happy celebration, but his tone changed just moments later.  Melania and I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Easter! Whether you are heading out to Church or, watching Service from home, may this day be full of Peace an…

ICE Orders American-Born Doctor To Self-Deport: 'It's Time For You To Leave US' A Connecticut doctor received a bizarre email last week from the U.S. government claiming she had overstayed her welcome in the country and needed to leave.

Mass-Born Attorney Told To Self-Deport In Immigration Snafu: 'I've Been Here My Whole Life' When Nicole Micheroni, a Massachusetts-born immigration attorney, opened her inbox and saw an email from the Department of Homeland Security telling her she would need to leave the country “immediately,” she knew it had to be a mistake. The message claimed her “parole” had been terminated, a term used in immigration law to describe temporary permission for non-citizens to stay in the U.S. But Micheroni is a U.S. citizen. And that’s exactly what’s raising alarm bells for her. “I knew it was sent to me in error and so wasn’t worried,” she said in a thread on Bluesky. “But what about the peopl…
