A French scientist was denied entry to the US after immigration officials discovered 'hateful' text messages criticising Donald Trump on his phone.

More visitors to the United States are having their electronic devices and social media accounts checked when arriving at the border, raising questions about the legality of such a move.

A French scientist was denied entry to the US this month after immigration officers at an airport searched his phone and found messages in which he had expressed criticism of the Trump administration, said a French minister.

The French government’s claim that a scientist was denied entry into the United States because of an opinion he expressed about the Trump administration is “blatantly false,” a U.S. official has said.

A former Border Patrol agent has admitted he ordered at least two female border-crossers to show him their breasts — in one case telling a woman she couldn’t enter the U.S. until she complied, according to a shocking report.

Shane Millan, 53, pleaded guilty to two counts of deprivation of rights under color of law last week, admitting that he demanded multiple women lift up their shirts and expose themselves to him as he conducted virtual hearings at the Eagle Pass crossing in Texas.

President Donald Trump declared Saturday that the “invasion of our country is over" as illegal crossings at the southern U.S. border plummeted to a record low.

The February apprehension numbers released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirmed the 47th president had quickly delivered on one of his signature promises.

President Donald Trump claimed Saturday that arrests along the United States' border with Mexico hit a record low of just over 8,300 in February, but official data is yet to be released.

In the post on Truth Social, Trump said that "the invasion of our country is over", after monthly illegal crossings peaked at around 300,000 in December 2023 under former President Joe Biden.

The number of migrants crossing the U.S. southern border illegally in President Trump's first full month in office plunged to a level not seen in at least 25 years, according to preliminary government data obtained by CBS News.

Last month, Border Patrol recorded about 8,450 apprehensions of migrants who crossed into the country unlawfully between official entry points along the U.S.-Mexico border, the statistics show.

The number of illegal immigrants caught entering the country has continued to drop since President Donald Trump took office one month ago, plummeting over the weekend to the lowest figure seen in a single day in 15 years.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Monday afternoon that the number of apprehensions made at the U.S.-Mexico border on Saturday dropped lower than the several hundred arrests made per day to just a couple of hundred people.

The Maryland State Police reported Monday that police arrested 34-year-old Jack LaSota, the alleged leader of a transgender murder cult linked to the killing of a Border Patrol agent in Vermont.

LaSota, a male, claims to identify as a woman and goes by "Ziz" and Andrea Phelps. The dangerous group refers to itself as the Zizians.
