Mike Lawler is breaking from the Trump administration on its deportation push, calling for leniency for some illegal immigrants in an essay for The New York Times. “The deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis this month were tragic and preventable,” Lawler, R-N.Y., writes in an essay published Tuesday. “No matter where you stand on immigration enforcement, the shootings show that what the country has been doing is not working.”

The socialist government in Spain is set to give amnesty to half a million illegal migrants as part of a deal with the far-left.
According to Madrid’s ABC newspaper, over 500,000 illegals will be offered the chance to gain residency permits in Spain if they can prove they have been in the country before December 31, 2025, have no criminal record, and can demonstrate that they were in Spain for at least five months before their application.
The amnesty programme, which will run until June 30, is set to be implemented by Royal Decree, meaning the government will not need parliament’s approval to enact it.
