Professor Daniel Z. Epstein joins a list of Trump lawyers who have lost their standing for representing him. On Monday, U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams barred him from practicing in the Southern District of Florida for one year. She also referred a second Trump attorney, Alejandro Brito, to the Florida Bar for possible discipline. Both sanctions come from Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, a case filed by a sitting president against agencies led by his own app

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear President Donald Trump's appeal seeking to overturn a $5 million civil judgment awarded to writer and former advice columnist E.

Security cameras caught him at 8:40 on an October morning, laughing and dancing. Five minutes changed everything. Federal immigration agents in masks flooded the corner. They deployed some kind of spray. Multiple people got arrested. Ventura became one of them. What happened next

Here's what you need to know about how federal agents are trained to kill people and call it self-defense. In February 2013, the Police Executive Research Forum delivered a report to Customs and Border Protection that should have ended careers. Instead, CBP tried to bury it. The nonprofit had reviewed 67 use-of-force incidents from January 2010 through October 2012 that left 19 people dead along the southern border. What they found was a pattern so egregious it read like a tr

A Starr County case reached the Fourth Court of Appeals in San Antonio today, bringing a conviction for three counts of Super-Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child under close judicial examination. Jesus Moises Lopez received three life sentences last year. His attorney, Hilda Gonzalez Garza, is now asking the appellate court to decide whether the trial court followed the law when determining Lopez’s mental competency before trial. Garza’s position rests on two issues. The fir
