Immigrant arrests at courthouses signal new tactic in Trump's push for mass deportations
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Arizona, Virginia and more than 20 other states have been instructed to arrest people immediately after a judge has ordered them to be deported or after prosecutors move to drop their cases, according to internal documents issued this month and reviewed by The Washington Post.

Wyndham Clark banned from Oakmont Country Club after damaging locker during 2025 U.S. Open
Wyndham Clark has four missed cuts and only one top-10 finish this year on the PGA Tour. He is currently No. 28 in the world, No. 22 in the Ryder Cup standings and is No. 78 in the FedCup rankings. (Photo by) Wyndham Clark has been suspended from Oakmont Country Club due to the golfer's actions in damaging a locker during the 2025 U.S. Open last month. In a letter obtained by Golf Digest, club president John Lynch informed members that Clark is not allowed on the property and that he can be reinstated if he fulfills certain requirements, like paying for the damage, making a charitable contribution and attending "counseling and/or anger management sessions." 'Several of you have inquired about the situation involving Wyndham Clark and the steps being taken in response to his recent behavior. Following multiple discussions with the USGA and the OCC Board, a decision has been made that Mr. Clark will no longer be permitted on OCC property. "This decision will remain in effect unless formally reconsidered and approved by the Board. "Reinstatement would be contingent upon Mr. Clark fulfilling a number of specific conditions, including full repayment for damages, a meaningful contribution to a charity of the Board's choosing, and the successful completion of counseling and/or anger management sessions. "Thank you for your understanding and continued support." Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open champion, missed the cut after shooting 8-over par through two rounds. He apologized for his actions the following week at the Travelers Championship saying he "made a mistake that I deeply regret" and that he'd "like to move on" from the incident. The issue was brought up last week ahead of the Genesis Scottish Open with Clark calling it "a mistake in a moment of rage." 'Yeah, I mean, I made a mistake in a moment of rage with, you know, a bad year and everything coming together and it just was more than anything a good wake-up call for me to say, 'Hey, you know what, let's get back on track and things aren't that bad,'' Clark said. 'I live a great life and I'm not that far off from playing good golf, so I feel like I've turned a page and we're now maybe on the right track of playing some good golf.' Advertisement During the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, Clark damaged a tee marker as he shot 4-over par and finished tied for 50th. Clark will have plenty of time to fulfill the requirements of his punishment and not miss out of Oakmont's next big tournament. The club doesn't host the U.S. Open again until 2033.

Federal Judge Rules ICE Racially Profiles
Source: Carlin Stiehl / Getty Just last month, the Los Angeles Times published an article titled 'Fears of racial profiling rise as Border Patrol conducts 'roving patrols,' detains U.S. citizens.' The article quoted the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, which said, 'We are seeing ICE come into our communities to do indiscriminate mass arrests of immigrants or people who appear to them to be immigrants, largely based on racial profiling.' The Department of Homeland Security wasn't thrilled about this article, saying in a statement, 'Any claims that individuals have been 'targeted' by law enforcement because of their skin color are disgusting and categorically FALSE.' Well, it only took a few short weeks for a federal judge to order the Trump administration to stop allowing ICE agents in southern California from 'indiscriminately' arresting people based on — you guessed it — racial profiling. According to USA Today, on July 2, a group of immigration advocates and five people arrested by ICE filed a lawsuit against the DHS over what it called a 'common, systematic pattern' of arresting brown people in the Los Angeles area based on their perceived race. In fact, the plaintiffs alleged that the area had come 'under siege' by masked immigration agents 'flooding street corners, bus stops, parking lots, agricultural sites, day laborer corners, and other places,' and arresting people or forcibly detaining them for questioning after targeting them because of their skin color, because they spoke Spanish, because they spoke English with an accent and/or because of their occupation. The suit also claimed those arrested were denied access to lawyers and held in 'dungeon-like' facilities where some were 'pressured' into accepting deportation. The judge agreed. From USA Today: Judge Maame Frimpong of the Central District of California wrote in her order that the group would likely succeed in proving that 'the federal government is indeed conducting roving patrols without reasonable suspicion and denying access to lawyers.' Stopping the indiscriminate arrests was a 'fairly moderate request,' she wrote. Her order granted an emergency request, and the lawsuit is ongoing. Mohammad Tajsar, an American Civil Liberties Union attorney representing the group that brought the lawsuit, said, 'It does not take a federal judge to recognize that marauding bands of masked, rifle-toting goons have been violating ordinary people's rights throughout Southern California.' 'We are hopeful that today's ruling will be a step toward accountability for the federal government's flagrant lawlessness.' Unsurprisingly, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin feels differently, accusing Frimpong of 'undermining the will of the American people,' because, once again, a Trump administration official doesn't seem to understand that federal law enforcement is supposed to follow the law, not the 'will' of Trump voters, who, by the way, are not interchangeable with 'the American people.' (It's as if MAGA math has left these people completely unaware that while just over 77 million Americans voted for President Donald Trump, just over 75 million voted for former VP Kamala Harris.) 'America's brave men and women are removing murderers, MS-13 gang members, pedophiles, rapists,' McLaughlin claimed, conveniently ignoring the data that shows nearly half of ICE detainees either have no criminal record at all or have only been convicted of minor offenses, including traffic violations. McLaughlin also reiterated almost verbatim the DHS's previous denial that ICE agents are making arrests based on skin color, calling them 'disgusting and categorically FALSE.' 'DHS enforcement operations are highly targeted, and officers do their due diligence,' she said. Here's what I wrote about that last month: Part of the reason millions of people engaged in 'No Kings' protests across the nation over the weekend is the people's opposition to ICE tactics, which include raiding schools, workplaces and immigration courts to arrest allegedly undocumented migrants and set them up for deportation, often, without due process. Earlier this month, White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller reportedly set a new quota for ICE agents to arrest 3,000 undocumented migrants each day. 'Stephen Miller wants everybody arrested. 'Why aren't you at Home Depot? Why aren't you at 7-Eleven?'' an ICE official claimed, according to a report in The Washington Examiner. So, if ICE agents are to increase the agency's deportation numbers by going to Home Depot, 7-Elevens and other places they might expect to find undocumented migrants, how else would they know who to target for questioning, unless they were looking for people who looked and sounded like they might not be American? Also, if it's true that ICE doesn't engage in exactly the kind of racial profiling the plaintiffs described in their lawsuit, somebody should probably tell ICE Director Tom Homan that. 'Look, people need to understand, ICE officers and Border Patrol don't need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain them, and question them. They just need totality of the circumstances, right? They just go through the observation, get our typical facts — based on the location, the occupation, their physical appearance, their actions,' Homan declared during a recent appearance on Fox News. Apparently, Homan and the DHS need to sit down for a chat about their mixed messaging. Because somebody's lying.
