    Afghans for Trump group feels abandoned after administration revokes refugee protections
    A group that once campaigned to put Donald Trump in the White House now says they feel abandoned by his administrations decision to revoke legal protections for thousands of Afghan refugees living in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status (TPS).Zoubair Sangi, the leader of the "Afghans for Trump" movement, formed after the chaotic 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, said his community turned to Trump after the Biden administrations exit left their homeland in turmoil.Now, he is urging the president to reconsider."The reality is that Afghanistan is not safe," Sangi told Fox News. "Over the last three years, since the return of the Taliban, the country has been as dangerous as ever."He said the Department of Homeland Securitys claim of an "improved security situation" fails to reflect the reality on the ground.TRUMP PUSHES TO RECOVER 'BILLIONS OF DOLLARS' OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT LEFT BEHIND IN AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL"The Taliban, at the end of the day, are a terrorist group," he said. "They target anyone who disagrees with them anyone who worked with the U.S. government or allied forces. Their lives are in grave danger."Sangi added that women face especially grim conditions in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, where they are banned from education and public life without a male escort."They view women as subservient. They treat them worse than cattle," he said. "There is no freedom for ordinary Afghans. Its a prison. People are essentially under house arrest, and they cant escape."Despite his frustration, Sangi said he has not withdrawn his support for Trump but he is pleading with him to rethink the decision. "We do have hope that any kind of mistake that is made specifically in regards to Afghanistan will be corrected."He praised Trump for refusing to recognize the Taliban and ending foreign aid to Afghanistan that fell into their hands, and he urged him not to strike any deals."The Taliban mock America, reject your demands for the return of our $7 billion in military equipment, and harbor terrorists who threaten our homeland," said Sangi. "Engaging with them isnt America First."AFGHANS FOR TRUMP GROUP LOOKING TO MAKE FOREIGN POLICY AND 2021 WITHDRAWAL FRONT AND CENTER IN ELECTIONOn Monday, the Department of Homeland Security officially ended TPS for Afghan nationals, potentially forcing more than 9,000 individuals to return to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem cited an "improved security situation" and a stabilizing economy as justification."This administration is returning TPS to its original, temporary intent," Noem said. "Weve reviewed the conditions in Afghanistan with our interagency partners, and they do not meet the requirements for a TPS designation."Afghans protected status is set to expire on May 20, with the program formally ending on July 12. Noem added that terminating the designation aligns with the administrations broader goal of rooting out fraud and national security threats in the immigration system.TPS allows foreign nationals from countries facing armed conflict, natural disasters or other emergencies to live and work legally in the U.S. Then-President Joe Biden had originally designated Afghanistan for TPS following the Talibans takeover in 2021.While many Afghans who assisted the U.S. military during the two-decade war arrived under the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program, others including former Afghan government workers and those tied to U.S. missions entered under TPS amid the post-withdrawal chaos. These individuals now face potential deportation.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPFormer Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Mike McCaul argued against the assertion that the security situation had improved, and urged the administration against moving to revoke the immigration status of Afghans here on SIVs or P1 and P2 visas.The Taliban, he said, "have made their thirst for retribution against those who help the United States clear. Until they demonstrate substantial behavorial changes, I urge the administration to continue prioritizing the safety of the Afghan men and women who risked their lives to help our troops."Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House and DHS with requests for comment.

    Longtime Reds announcer slams MLB for 'wrong' timing on Pete Rose Hall of Fame eligibility
    Longtime Cincinnati Reds announcer Marty Brennaman expressed his frustration with Major League Baseballs (MLB's) timing of the removal of Pete Rose from the permanently ineligible list.Brennaman, 82, who announced Reds games from 1974-2019, said for MLB to make Rose eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame just months after his death was "the wrong way to go.""I just felt that he had served his jail time, if you will, far longer than he really shouldve had to do it. And the fact that they rushed to make him eligible within a matter of months, to me, was the wrong way to go about doing business," Brennaman told TMZ.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"Im just trying to reconcile in my own mind why they waited as long as they did. And then, within a matter of months after Petes passing in September, now they come out, and they announce in grand fashion that they have lifted the suspension and made he and Shoeless Joe Jackson there may be others Im not even aware of eligible to be considered for the Baseball Hall of Fame."Brennaman said that Rose had come to terms with the fact that he would not make the Baseball Hall of Fame while he was alive."He had come to grips with the fact that it was not going to happen until after he passed away. He said as much to a number of different people. He obviously wanted it to happen while he could enjoy it. At the same time, he made the comment that being in the Hall of Fame is more for the family than anybody else," Brennaman said.REDS FANS CELEBRATE PETE ROSE AFTER MLB'S DECISION: 'HE'S OUR BABE RUTH'"So obviously he was thinking about his kids and enhancing the legacy that has, at times, been very, very tarnished, we all know that. And a lot of the things that Pete was involved with were of his own doing. Nobody could ever dispute that, and Pete certainly wouldnt have done that anymore, after he admitted that he bet on baseball."Despite Roses wishes to have witnessed his potential Hall of Fame induction, Brennaman said that Rose would take solace that his family would at least get to enjoy it."But I think at the end of the day, if the best that he could get would be to go for his family, it would probably be satisfying for him right now."Rose is MLBs hit king with 4,256 career hits. He was the National League MVP in 1974 and was a 17-time All-Star, a three-time World Series champion and a three-time batting champion.However, theRedsstar became a polarizing figure when news of his gambling on games rocked the sports world.

    Democratic presidential hopefuls grapple with Biden's legacy as 2028 race begins
    It was the first question thrown at potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender Pete Buttigieg as he briefly met with reporters following a town hall with veterans and military families in Iowa this week:"Did President Joe Biden experience cognitive decline while in office?" Buttigieg was asked."Every time I needed something from him from the West Wing, I got it," answered Buttigieg, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate who served four years as Secretary of Transportation in the Biden administration.After a second reporter followed up, asking: "Would the party have been better off if he had just not run for re-election?" Buttigieg answered: "Maybe. Right now, with the benefit of hindsight, I think most people would agree that thats the case."NEW BOOK PLACES BLAME ON BIDEN FOR HARRIS 2024 LOSS TO TRUMPWelcome to the 2028 White House race pre-season, where Democrats mulling a presidential run are starting to take the earliest of steps.And as they do, they're facing an initial gauntlet questions about former President Joe Biden's mental acuity during his final years in office and whether Democrats should have been more strident earlier in the 2024 election cycle in calling on Biden to abandon his bid for a second term in the White House."I think that is one of the top things that they do want to know about," longtime New Hampshire-based radio host Chris Ryan told Fox News, as he pointed to his listeners on his popular morning news/talk program."The Democratic voters are still trying to sort through what happened and why," said Ryan, who has interviewed scores of White House hopefuls over the years.BIDEN AIDES SCRIPTED EVERYTHING, ALLOWED HIS FACULTIES TO ATROPHY, NEW BOOK CLAIMSHow the presidential hopefuls answer these questions will be an early test of their truthfulness in the eyes of voters who had serious concerns over whether Biden was mentally and physically up for another four years handling the world's most grueling job.But Ryan noted that "its different for each potential candidate based on their level of proximity to President Biden."The grilling of potential 2028 contenders and other Democrats comes as Biden's condition is once again making headlines, courtesy of excerpts from a new book, "Original Sin: President Bidens Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again," which offers claims of a White House cover-up of the then-president's alleged cognitive decline.Biden dropped out of the White House race last July, one month after a disastrous debate performance with now-President Donald Trump that sparked a chorus of calls from fellow Democrats for the then-81-year-old president to end his re-election bid.He was replaced at the top of the ticket by then-Vice President Kamala Harris, who ended up losing November's presidential election to Trump. Democrats also suffered down ballot, losing control of the Senate and failing to win back the House majority from the Republicans.During an appearance on ABC's "The View" last week, Biden pushed back against accusations that he had suffered significant cognitive decline during the final year of his presidency.Rep. Ro Khanna of California was a leading supporter and surrogate on the campaign trail for Biden during the 2024 election cycle. After last Junes debate, as a trickle of Democrats urging Biden to step aside turned into a steady stream, Khanna likened the embattled president to Rocky Balboathe underdog boxer of big-screen legend.TARGETED BY TRUMP, THIS WELL KNOWN DEMOCRAT SPARKS 2028 SPECULATION"To rebuild trust, Democrats must be honest. In light of the facts that have come out, Joe Biden should not have run for reelection, and we should have had an open primary," Khanna wrote in a social media post.Khanna, in a statement, said, "I have always admired Bidens resilience and the grit he has shown after the loss of his son and often compared that strength to Rocky. I was a surrogate for the president of my own party whose policies I backed.""But obviously we did not have the full picture, and in hindsight it is painfully obvious that President Biden should have made the patriotic decision not to run," Khanna said.Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, another Democratic lawmaker who vouched for Biden last year, said that "there's no doubt about it" when asked by Politico whether Biden had experienced cognitive decline. "The debate is whether it was enough that it compromised his ability to act as chief executive."Murphy, who is viewed as a potential 2028 contender, said that Biden staying in the 2024 race as long as he did was detrimental to the Democrats."I mean, isnt that self-evident? We lost," he said. "Obviously, in retrospect, we should have done something different."LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS INTO TRUMP'S SECOND TERM, DEMOCRATS ALREADY EYEING 2028 PRESIDENTIAL RACEBut Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, another possible White House candidate who was a top 2024 surrogate for Biden, said in a CNN interview this week when asked about Biden's cognitive abilities: "As a governor in a state halfway across the country who was working her tail off, 160 stops on a bus tour that I had lined through swing states, I was busy working. I was busy doing the voter connection and registration, and so can't speak to that directly.""I didn't see the president frequently."But she added that "it does make me question a lot of the things I thought I knew over the course of the last year and a half."While the potential contenders are answering questions concerning Biden in different ways, there is one consensus."We're not in a position to wallow in hindsight. We've got to get ready for some fundamental tests of the future of this country and this party," Buttigieg noted.

    Bill Belichick says girlfriend Jordon Hudson has been 'terrific' amid controversy
    Despite many headlines about their relationship, Bill Belichick has often been quiet about his girlfriend.Belichick, 73, and Jordon Hudson, 24, became a couple last year and have been the talk of sports.Hudson has been the topic of conversation, as reports have floated around that she forced her way into a Super Bowl commercial, shut down "Hard Knocks" at UNC, and has even been on email threads with university staff.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMCLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPHowever, Belichick, while not diving too much into their personal relationship, said Hudson has been "very helpful" from a business standpoint."Shes been terrific through the whole process. Shes been very helpful to me. She does the business things that dont relate to North Carolina that come up in my life so I can concentrate in football, and thats what I want to do," Belichick said. "I acknowledged her in the book, she was very helpful in the tribute pages, and giving a perspective of the book from a business side. Sometimes, I get a little football technical, so she did a good job of keeping me on balance there."TRAVIS HUNTER GETS REAL ON HIS AND SHEDEUR SANDERS' NFL FUTURES: 'WE JUST GOING TO WORK'Belichick stopped short of getting too "personal" about Hudson, half-heartedly shaming "Good Morning America" host Michael Strahan in asking about it, but he noted that it is a "good personal relationship."However, when Strahan asked Belichick if he was happy, he said "yeah."Hudson, after a fiasco with CBS, was not at the interview Friday morning. She was not at an interview with ESPN, either.A report circulated that Hudson had been banned from the football facility at UNC, but the school said that was false.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Federal magistrate judge dismisses trespassing charges against 98 arrested in new military zone
    Dozens of immigrants who illegally crossed into the U.S. via a newly established military-controlled zone along the U.S.-Mexico border have had their trespassing charges dismissed.Chief U.S. Magistrate Judge Gregory Wormuth began filing the dismissals late on Wednesday, ruling the immigrants did not know they were entering the military zone known as the New Mexico National Defense Area (NMNDA) and therefore could not be charged, according to court documents.Wormuth ruled that the federal government failed to demonstrate probable cause that the immigrants knew they were entering the zone.The government had argued in a criminal complaint that the military had posted signs in the zones stating in both English and Spanish that it was a restricted area and that unauthorized entry is prohibited.US MILITARY STATIONED AT THE BORDER IN NEW MEXICO NATIONAL DEFENSE AREA CAN DETAIN ILLEGAL MIGRANTSDespite signs indicating restricted access, the judge noted that the challenging terrain made it unlikely that the defendants saw the warnings.The decision marks a setback for the Trump administration's border crackdown as the trespassing charges were central to enforcing the NMNDA.READ THE ORDER APP USERS, CLICK HERE:The NMNDA was established in April and spans approximately 180 miles along the southern New Mexico border. U.S. Army personnel now patrol the area and are authorized to detain unauthorized entrants."Beyond the reference to signage, the United States provides no facts from which one could reasonably conclude that the Defendant knew he was entering the NMNDA (New Mexico National Defense Area)," wrote Wormuth in a 16-page ruling. Wormuth has served as a U.S. magistrate judge since 2009. Magistrate judges are appointed by district court judges and not by the president.The judge dismissed two charges faced by the 98 arrested immigrants: violation of a security regulation and entering military property for an unlawful purpose, both misdemeanors. A third misdemeanor charge of entering the U.S. illegally remains.Up to May 9, Ellison's office reported charging 339 migrants for entering the New Mexico military area.TRUMP ORDERS MILITARY TO TAKE CONTROL OF FEDERAL LAND AT SOUTHERN BORDERLast month, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum visited New Mexico to announce that the Army was taking control of the federal land as part of the Trump administration's efforts to curbillegal immigrationand trafficking.The 109,651 acres of federal land was transferred tothe Armyfor three years, subject to valid existing rights.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe switch in jurisdiction allows the government to protect sensitive natural and cultural resources in the region, while helping the Army supportU.S. Border Patroloperations in securing the border and preventing illegal immigration, according to the Department of the Interior.In March, the Defense Department authorized the military to patrol the southern border to provide "enhanced detection and monitoring" to support U.S. Customs and Border Protection.Fox News Digital emailed and called a Department of Justice attorney involved in the case for comment.Fox News' Louis Casiano and Reuters contributed to this report.
