Federal Judge Orders March 17 Hearing for Colombian Journalist Claiming ICE Illegally Arrested Her in Nashville as Retribution for Reporting
U.S. District Court Judge Eli Richardson on Monday set March 17 as the hearing date for the Trump administration to respond to the habeas corpus petition by Estefany Rodriguez, the Colombian journalist who was living in Nashville until being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) last week.
Richardson, who was appointed by President Donald Trump during his first term in the White House, originally ordered the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to provide a response to Rodriguez’s show-cause petition last week, but Rodriguez has since amended her complaint to include a First Amendment component, arguing the Trump administration illegally detained her in retribution for her critical reporting about ICE.

Before FBI Subpoena, Congressional Observers Flagged Commingled Ballots at Maricopa County Center
Before the FBI subpoenaed election records involving Arizona’s largest county this month, congressional staffers dispatched to monitor Maricopa County’s vote-counting process in 2024 reported "alarming" concerns that completed mail-in ballots were stored in the same room as blanks and were sorted by a third-party printing company that had no government officials or partisan observers on site, according to a copy of the observer’s report obtained by Just the News.
The concerns about one of Maricopa’s third-party run centers were detailed in a memo written during the 2024 presidential election in which Trump won, including in Arizona. That memo memorialized the observations of a Republican staff member sent by the House Administration Committee with a Democratic colleague to monitor election procedures in the county.

FBI Secretly Seizes Election Records from Arizona’s Largest County as Voting Probe Expands
The FBI is expanding its criminal probe into suspected election irregularities, secretly obtaining a large tranche of voting records from Arizona’s largest county with a recent grand jury subpoena, multiple people familiar with the probe told Just the News.
The sources, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because of the secrecy of the grand jury probe, said FBI agents are receiving terabytes of electronic election data from Maricopa County, about a month after the bureau first disclosed an investigation into election irregularities by raiding a warehouse near Atlanta and seizing ballots from the 2020 election conducted in Fulton County, Georgia’s largest metropolis.
