Judge Orders U.S. to Return Families Affected by Trump’s Family Separation Policy Who Were Deported

CBS News   A federal judge on Thursday ordered the U.S. government to return three migrant families affected by the family separation policy during President Trump’s first administration and then deported under his second, declaring the deportations “unlawful.” U.S. District Court Judge Dana Sabraw, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, ruled that the families’ deportations violated a court settlement designed to provide certain benefits to those affected by the first Trump administration’s policy of forcibly separating migrant children from their parents along the U.S.-Mexico border. That infamous weeks-long policy was scrapped in 2018 amid legal challenges and widespread public outcry. In 2023, the Biden administration entered into a court settlement in which the U.S. government committed to offering certain benefits to the families impacted by the policy and limiting the ability for officials to carry out a similar practice in the future.

Senate Launches Investigation Into Mayor Mamdani, Threatens Taking $2.2 Billion In Federal Funding

Republican Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy announced Thursday the launch of a probe into Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, citing concerns over his “recent actions that embolden antisemitism and put Jewish New Yorkers in harm’s way.”
In January, Mamdani decided not to renew an executive order signed by his predecessor, former New York City Mayor Eric Adams, in June 2025 that expanded the definition of antisemitism, as adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, Politico reported Thursday. He also failed to renew a separate order signed by Adams in December 2025, which prevented city officials from participating in the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel.

California: SBA Suspends 12,000 Borrowers Suspected of $9 Billion of Fraud

111,620 California borrowers suspected of committing $8.6 billion of pandemic-era fraud have been suspended by the U.S. Small Business Administration, SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler announced Friday.
“I’m here in San Diego, standing at an address that is registered to 14 businesses that took $2 million in pandemic-era loans Those loans haven’t been paid back,” Administrator Loeffler says in a social media video reporting the suspensions.
“But, that’s just the tip of the iceberg,” Loeffler adds:
“Today, the SBA is announcing we’re suspending 112,000 California borrowers who took potentially upwards of $9 billion.
“We’re going to continue to work with our federal partners to ensure accountability for COVID-era fraud that the Biden Administration tried to sweep under the rug.”
Suspended borrowers are prohibited from executing new small business and disaster loans and are not eligible for other SBA programs such as federal contracting in the 8(a) Business Development Program.
The suspended borrowers obtained the money via the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) program, both of which helped businesses stay afloat and continue to keep their workers employed during the COVID-19 crisis.
“This staggering number represents the most significant crack-down on those who defrauded pandemic programs, and it illuminates the scale of corruption that the Biden Administration tolerated for years,” Loeffler says.
“We’re not looking the other way. We’re prosecuting. There’s going to be more to come,” Loeffler promises in her video.
“Just like Minnesota, California is another state whose socialist welfare policies have invited fraud,” Loeffler explains.
In Minnesota, SBA suspended 6,900 borrowers associated with 7,900 potentially fraudulent PPP and EIDL loans worth approximately $400 million.
The suspensions in California and Minnesota are part of SBA’s state-by-state initiative to crack down on $200 billion of suspected pandemic-era fraud it says went unaddressed during the Biden Administration. The goal is not only to punish those who defrauded American taxpayers, but also to recoup the stolen funds.
“Under this Administration, any fraudster who broke the law will no longer get a free pass. All they’ll get is a free trip to jail,” SBA’s Loeffler warns.
