FIRST ON FOX: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has lodged a detainer against an illegal immigrant accused of a hit-and-run that left a North Carolina father dead in the street.Fox News Digital learned that ICE filed a detainer request for 21-year-old Honduran illegal immigrant Mauricio Josue Alberto Sarmiento, who is charged with hit-and-run resulting in death in Sylva, North Carolina.The Sylva Police Department said Sarmiento struck 51-year-old James Robert Bagley III with his car before leaving the scene early Aug. 2. Officers and first responders found Bagley unresponsive in the street. He died from his injuries.Five days later, the Sylva Police Department announced it had arrested Sarmiento and charged him with felony hit-and-run resulting in serious injury or death, no liability insurance, driving with a revoked license, exceeding safe speed and failure to reduce speed. He also had an outstanding arrest order in Jackson County, North Carolina.MAN CHARGED IN CRASH THAT KILLED MOTHER AND TWO YOUNG SONS HAS ICE DETAINER, PRIOR DWI CONVICTIONSThe same day Sarmiento was arrested, ICE lodged a detainer with the Jackson County Jail.The Department of Homeland Security told Fox News Digital that Sarmiento entered the country illegally through Texas as an unaccompanied minor in October 2021. U.S. Border Patrol arrested him after his entry. DHS said he was “reunified” with an unrelated sponsor and released into the country under the Biden administration.DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin told Fox News Digital his agency is “asking officials in Jackson County to cooperate and not release this criminal from jail without notifying ICE.”Mullin said “if it weren’t for the Biden Administration’s disastrous open borders, James Bagley would still be alive.”Fox News Digital reached out to a representative of the former Biden administration for comment but did not receive a response.WATCH: DEM DEMANDS ‘ONE CASE’ WHERE SANCTUARY CITIES DIDN’T TURN OVER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS; DHS PROVIDES LISTMullin said “by securing our border and deporting illegal aliens, we can save lives and prevent tragedies like this one from ever happening again.”After Sarmiento’s arrest, Sylva Police Chief Aimee Sumner said his arrest “represents a significant step forward in our investigation” but added that “while an arrest has been made, this case is not over, and we remain committed to conducting a thorough investigation and ensuring that the facts are presented through the judicial process.”Sumner noted, “Our thoughts remain with the family and loved ones of James Bagley as they continue to cope with this tremendous loss.”The police chief confirmed the charges against Sarmiento to Fox News Digital. Sumner also confirmed that Sarmiento remains in custody at the Jackson County Detention Center, which the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office operates.ICE BOSTON ARRESTS BRAZILIAN ILLEGAL ALIEN WANTED FOR MURDER DAYS BEFORE GOV HEALY SIGNED PROTECT ACTSIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTERRegarding the ICE detainer, Sumner said, “Our department was not involved in that process; you would need to speak with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office.”Fox News Digital contacted the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office but did not receive a response by the time of publication.

The numbers for the elementary school down the block from my church are discouraging. The latest CPS data for Dulles Elementary School show that just 13.7% of Dulles students are proficient in English language arts and 3.9% are proficient in math. Dulles spends significantly less per student than some districtwide estimates of CPS spending. This is shocking, mind-boggling, and if this isn’t a crime against humanity, then I don’t know what is.The numbers only get worse. The school spends about $16,200 per student. The Chicago Public Schools district average is roughly $27,000 to $32,000 per student. How is this inequity possible in this age of DEI?We live in one of the bluest cities in America, and our mayor, Brandon Johnson, brags about having the “Blackest administration” and always talks about fighting White supremacy. And yet he is comfortable with this disparity in school spending? Why aren’t all the White DEI folks on the North Side of Chicago outraged over this inequity?CHICAGO’S EMPTY ‘GHOST SCHOOLS’ TEACH US ABOUT HOW THE SYSTEM IS FAILINGOn top of this, Chicago Public Schools is staring down a roughly $732 million budget deficit. Just last summer, the district laid off 1,458 employees, including 432 teachers and 677 special education assistants. This year, the board restored proposed cuts in part by assuming an additional $150 million from the state that lawmakers have not committed. But this is not a solution, and it will only lead to more debt.Now here is what is infuriating to me. Guess how much the city spent on services for the migrants and asylum seekers coming into town between August 2022 and the end of 2024. Chicago’s inspector general found that roughly $639.6 million in city and grant funds was spent on services for new arrivals between August 2022 and the end of 2024. Why weren’t more unrestricted city resources directed toward our struggling schools instead?I am a pastor. I believe in compassion. But it is morally wrong to assign so many of our taxpayer dollars to non-citizens who came to the United States and are now receiving taxpayer-funded services in Chicago. Every dollar of unrestricted public money spent on one priority is a dollar that cannot be spent on another, including our schools. We can apply the cold tools of cost-benefit analysis here, and I’m always going to take the side of our children. I believe in taking care of our own home first because it puts us on the right footing to extend a strong, helping hand to others. Right now, we are creating children weak in the mind, and in what universe is that moral or right?What I want to know is why we have chosen to prize the newly arrived over those of us who were born, through no fault of their own, into generational poverty.CHICAGO PASTOR GATHERS HUNDREDS OF MEN TO DECLARE VIOLENCE-FREE ZONE ON SOUTH SIDEJust a few years ago, nearly every leader in Chicago was chanting “Black Lives Matter!” I guess that was just an empty slogan and they’re insincere people.Where is the urgent help for the kids who cannot read, the special-needs students who need consistent aides, and the teachers stretched thin every day? If equity means anything, it should start with the children who have been failed the longest in the neighborhoods that vote most consistently for these leaders. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONI don’t agree with their vote, and I’ve told them so. Yet, I have no problem telling Mayor Brandon Johnson, “They voted for you, so why don’t you start doing your job and representing them? Or are they just your pawns?”If you walk the halls of our South Side schools, you will meet students who cannot read at grade level, special-needs children who need consistent support, and teachers who are exhausted from doing more with less. Enrollment has declined. Buildings are aging. Pensions and debt eat huge portions of the budget. Yet year after year, the deficit returns, and year after year, the conversation turns to everything except the hard choices that put local kids first.I have spent years in the streets of this city trying to build something better for the next generation. Project H.O.O.D. is about opportunity, not excuses. Education is the foundation of that opportunity. When a district repeatedly faces shortfalls in the hundreds of millions of dollars while hundreds of millions flow to other priorities, the message to our children is unmistakable: You are not the priority.I do not write this out of anger. I write it out of love for the kids I see every day. They deserve adults who will fight as hard for their classrooms as they fight for every other cause. Until that happens, the view from the South Side will keep showing the same picture: struggling schools, deferred maintenance on our children’s futures, and a city that keeps choosing everything else first.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM PASTOR COREY BROOKS

The price of childhood fame can be steep. The checks that come afterward? Sometimes just pennies.”Ned’s Declassified” alum Jennifer Tedmori recently went viral after revealing the surprisingly small residual checks she still receives from her time on the hit Nickelodeon sitcom.The former child star-turned-lawyer, who now hosts the mental health podcast “Off My Meds,” told Fox News Digital that those small payments expose just one part of the hidden cost of fame that can follow child actors long after the cameras stop rolling.’MARRIED… WITH CHILDREN’ STAR TED MCGINLEY REVEALS HE GETS PENNY RESIDUAL CHECKS FROM HIS HIT TV SHOWS”I’ve had a lot of time to think about why so many child actors struggle into adulthood,” she said. “I think it’s a couple of things. I think home life is a big part of it. I think upbringing, I think intentions as to why somebody is in the business is a big one.”But I think, as I watch some colleagues and co-stars go through really tough times with being an adult, I think I would just want the public to know that these are human beings. And I think there should be a level of compassion that is given to some of them because, as much as they’re prepared for being a child star, they really aren’t prepared for the adult world. And they’re not really taught the real world things outside of acting that can prepare them for just being a regular human being.”When Tedmori sifts through stacks of unopened mail only to find residual checks worth pocket change — sometimes just a few cents, occasionally $5 — she laughs. But behind the humor is a reality that could have looked very different.WATCH: JENNIFER TEDMORI REVEALS REALITY BEHIND ACTORS’ RESIDUAL CHECKSGrowing up, Tedmori said she was encouraged to build a life beyond acting and pursue other passions. Many of her peers, she noted, were prepared for fame and success — but not for what happens when the spotlight fades and the hit show ends.”I made the conscious decision after I was around 18 and figuring out part-time jobs and how I was going to move forward with the uncertainty of an actor’s life that I decided to go to law school,” she said. “And I think that was the best decision I could have ever made for myself because I am someone that values stability, financial stability. But when it comes to child actors, there’s a misconception that they are set for life.””There is a misconception that, if we see somebody on a show, that fame equals wealth,” Tedmori said. “That’s not the case for most people.”On “Ned’s Declassified,” Tedmori played Doris Trembly, a member of the “Huge Crew,” a group of girls who had crushes on Ned (Devon Werkheiser). The show aired for three seasons from 2004 to 2007.”… Anybody that’s getting residuals, they taper off over time,” she said. “And if it’s anything like what I’m getting, which from what my colleagues and former co-stars have been saying, they’re all getting the same type of checks. … So, there is a misunderstanding that you are set for life, and that isn’t necessarily the case. … And in most cases, I think it costs more in their mental health than it does in the checks that they’re getting in terms of the value lost and value earned for a child actor. … I think it ends up being kind of rough for them.”In her viral video, Tedmori opened checks for 68 cents, 87 cents, 36 cents, 45 cents, two for three cents, three for 81 cents and two for $1.01.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER”So for ‘Ned’s Declassified,’ that earned me a grand total of $8.63,” she said while sitting in her car. “With ‘90210,’ $30.06. Maybe I can go buy a coffee at Starbucks. Do I even report this to the IRS? They’re not even going to give a f—.”The largest check Tedmori found in the pile wasn’t for “Ned’s Declassified,” but for her work on CW’s “90210.” She appeared in the reboot as “Goth Girl.” The check was for $21.43.WATCH: JENNIFER TEDMORI REVEALS SURPRISING ‘90210’ RESIDUAL CHECK”I’m super grateful for the opportunities I’ve had in my career, and with ‘Ned’s Declassified,'” Tedmori clarified.”… But the lawyer in me really has to contemplate if there’s a better system for doing this. … It costs more to pay somebody to issue the check and for them to go to SAG-AFTRA, and then for them to write a statement, print the check, put it in an envelope and then send it to me for all of 2 cents. … And what’s crazy is I can’t even electronically deposit these checks. It’s too low of an amount. … So then I’ve got to go to the bank, look somebody in the eye, and be like, ‘Here’s my check for all of 2 cents that I’m cashing.’”Fox News Digital reached out to SAG-AFTRA for comment.Tedmori believes there’s a more meaningful way to put these “penny checks” to use. She suggested actors with envelopes piling up could pool the money. Collectively, she said, those pennies could help create a fund for struggling peers.”So many actors have talked about their experiences with residual checks, specifically the penny checks and not depositing them, but not throwing them away,” she said. “[We should allow] actors the opportunity to donate them or put them in a charity fund for creatives.””I think about when I go to the grocery store, and they ask me if I want to donate the remainder of the less than a dollar amount to round up to a charity of their choosing,” she said.LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS”I think, why can’t we do the same as actors? I don’t know what that looks like, but I did have the thought that I would so gladly donate all of my residual payments to a charity or some sort of actor’s equity fund to help struggling creatives. And I think specifically, with these checks, it adds up. So for me, what seems like $8.63 from ‘Ned’s Declassified’ and $8 from my co-star and another, that might not be a lot of money to a charity, but I think, as a whole, could actually be a significant amount that could go help a greater cause.”Tedmori said she’s considering a social media series about the residual checks to shed light on the realities of child stardom.”I think it’s something that probably should be talked about more, just because more people don’t realize it,” she said. “Growing up, I don’t think that there was a whole lot of conversation about finances. Maybe there should have been. I was just doing it because I love to act. I love to perform. And for me, it was fun. I didn’t really think about what that might look like financially down the line.”Fox News Digital’s Tracy Wright contributed to this report.

Residents of Ceuta, Spain’s North African enclave bordering Morocco, are saying that the government is not doing enough to prevent another mass immigration event like the July 30 influx of approximately 70,000 migrants into the city, conservative Spanish journalist Javier Negre told Fox News Digital.”The local citizens, they are really sad. And no matter if they are left or right, What they say is like, it’s really complicated to live right now in Ceuta,” Negre told Fox News Digital in an interview.Negre said citizens have cited incidents in which migrants committed crimes including robbery and attempted rape, adding “they live in the street and the people are really scared.””We need in Spain, we need in Europe, governments that try to avoid the illegal immigration right now because it’s not fair for the citizens that pay taxes to have social security, to have healthcare and these illegal migrants, they collapse the hospitals, they collapsed the universities, the schools, and it’s not fair for the Spanish people,” Negre said.STATE DEPARTMENT RAISES TRAVEL WARNING FOR PART OF SPAIN AS MIGRANT SURGE SPARKS MILITARY DEPLOYMENTThe residents who reportedly spoke to Negre seemingly echoed comments from Juan Jesús Vivas, Ceuta’s Mayor-President. Speaking during an extraordinary session of the European Parliament’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, Vivas said the migrant rush put public safety and public health at risk and threatened to collapse the city’s immigration infrastructure.”Furthermore, the morale of Ceuta’s residents is severely affected. Our population feels sad, helpless, uneasy, fearful, and worried — and with good reason. It is inevitable to wonder whether this will happen again, and if that next time will be the definitive plunge into the abyss, causing us to cease being what we are: Spain and Europe,” Vivas said.Following a circulation of social media messages in Morocco calling for migrants to again rush the Spanish enclave on Aug. 15, both Spain and Morocco beefed up security on their respective sides of the border, in addition to the maritime barriers Spain put up after the initial incident saw migrants swim ashore.But, Negre said Moroccan officials told him that the increased measures are not enough.”I know that today the Spanish government and the Moroccan government, they say that they are going to put more police, but it’s not enough,” Negre said.”We need more police,” he continued. “We need to have more border security because people don’t understand why they’re paying taxes, why they’re giving a lot of money to the state if they can’t block the frontier to these illegal migrants that they are not escaping from a war or a difficult situation,” Negre told Fox News Digital.Negre criticized Spain’s government, led by left-wing Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and his party, Vox. The journalist pointed to Spanish media reports arguing that Sánchez’s frosty relationship with Morocco may have contributed to the migration incident.”Pedro Sánchez, who is involved in a lot of scandals of corruption, he went to Algeria, and there are some rumors that maybe the king of Morocco try to promote this illegal invasion to tell the Spanish government, ‘hey, take it easy,'” Negre explained.TRUMP CRITICIZES SPAIN AMID IRAN, NATO RIFT AS PM SANCHEZ FACES QUESTIONS OVER POLITICAL MOTIVESSánchez traveled to Algeria on July 20, 10 days before the migration incident, in an effort to restore diplomatic ties after a freeze in the countries’ relationship over Morocco’s claim to the Western Sahara.Western Sahara, a desolate region in northwest Africa, has long been the focus of hostile relations between Algeria and Morocco. In 2020, the U.S. officially recognized Morocco’s claim of sovereignty over the region.While Spain does not officially recognize that claim, Sánchez did endorse Morocco’s autonomy plan for the region, which proposes limited self-governance under Moroccan sovereignty to be the “most serious, realistic, and credible basis” for resolving a long-standing dispute between Morocco and Algeria over the territory.Sánchez revealed his decision in a March 2022 letter to Morocco’s King Mohammed VI, a letter he sent less than a year after another migrant influx from Morocco into Ceuta. During that May 2021 incident, Moroccan border guards appeared to stand down while 10,000 people flooded into Ceuta from the African nation.’YOU’RE DESTROYING YOUR COUNTRIES’: IS EUROPE FINALLY HEEDING TRUMP’S WARNING ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION?While Moroccan officials denied they instructed border guards to stand down, the European Parliament passed a resolution condemning Morocco for the incident, citing statements from Morocco’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs acknowledging that the incident was retaliation for Spain treating the leader of a Western Saharan rebel group at a Spanish hospital.Negre also took aim at European leadership writ large, contrasting European Parliament with President Donald Trump.”Europe is going really bad with illegal immigration, with the open frontiers, completely opposite as the politics of President Trump with border security and deporting all the illegal migrants,” he told Fox News Digital, while praising Trump’s proposed legislation to require voter identification, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, known as the SAVE Act.Fox News Digital contacted the governments of Spain, Ceuta, Morocco and Algeria for further comment.

Trump Confirms ‘No Talks’ – Says Hormuz ‘Open & Operating’; Oil Slides

President Trump issued a new Truth Social post, within hours after posting a map depicting the Strait of Hormuz as a ‘new US territory’. He affirmed there are currently no talks or conversations happening with the Iranians – nor is there so much as anything scheduled. However, he claimed the strait is “open and operating” – with water minds having been “removed or detonated”.

Perhaps as intended, oil reacted to the claim of an ‘open’ and supposedly mine-free Strait of Hormuz, sliding on the statement…

Iranian Attack on Outbound Tanker in Hormuz

Yet another attack has occurred in the Strait of Hormuz, this time on a foreign tanker on an outbound transit route, which Iran and Oman claim to directly oversee and administer according to the terms of the Oman deal for managing the strait which is still being finalized.

UK Maritime Trade Operations says Tuesday that the unknown projectile caused engine-room damage and a crew casualty, with the remaining crew being rescued and assisted by the Omani Coast Guard.

Such attacks which mark enforcement of Iran’s protocol and claim of control over the vital energy transit waterway have been steady, though not rapid, over the last several weeks. Oil prices have been on the rise this week, also as it continues to be clear that Washington and Tehran are digging in with their competing maximum demands.

Houthis Escalate in Red Sea

Hormuz isn’t the only chokepoint still witnessing active conflict. Waters off Yemen and the Red Sea also continue to heat up, with the Iranian-allied Houthi rebels still escalating.

According to The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, the group is “shutting down operations at a strategic seaport and pushing closer to the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, an important global shipping chokepoint.”

The report cites Yemeni authorities to describe, “The militant group’s recent missile and drone attacks forced the closure of the port of Mokha, a key logistics hub for civilian shipping and for anti-Houthi forces operating along the coast.”

According to more on the significance:

“This is the most significant escalation in quite a few years, maybe since 2020,” said Adam Baron, a Yemen expert and fellow with New America, a policy institute in Washington.

Baron called the port of Mokha the key logistics hub for anti-Houthi forces on the Red Sea. The Houthis control mountainous terrain inland from the Bab al-Mandeb but not the coast along the crucial waterway, which is held by opposing forces. 

No Movement on Talks until After Oman Deal Signed: Qatar

On the question of finding a path toward broader US-Iran peace, there’s still no movements on talks. Qatar is even openly saying that its direct mediation efforts won’t resume until the Oman deal is finalized – which critics have complained gives Iran de facto control of operations in the Strait of Hormuz.

“Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari says during a news conference that countries mediating between Iran and the US are waiting for Iran and Oman to announce an expected agreement on transit through the Strait of Hormuz, before pushing Washington and Tehran to resume negotiations aimed at ending their war,” Al Jazeera reports.

President Trump’s latest rhetoric and social media activity is not going to help the cause of peace, or the two sides getting back to the negotiating table. After verbalizing Monday that the US should declare the Hormuz Strait a US territory, he posted the following to Truth Social on Tuesday:

All of this comes on the heels of the 60-day diplomatic window set by the MoU inked in June has expired. Tehran said it was already effectively dead anyway, and thus “irrelevant” – blaming Washington for having violated its terms on multiple occasions.

Rough Road to November

Trump is meanwhile ultimately sticking to the following as an ultimate goal of the Iran conflict: “The number one Goal is, and always will be, that Iran cannot have, in any way, shape, or form, a Nuclear Weapon. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” he earlier stated on Truth Social.

The path to midterm elections in November continues to be a rough one for the US administration, and the pain is likely to continue for at least the time being…

President Donald Trump’s approval rating fell to the lowest level of his presidency, ‌with an overwhelming majority of Americans concerned the US war with Iran will last a long time, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll https://t.co/364a3rlckM pic.twitter.com/UrDCYmf8m0
— Reuters (@Reuters) August 18, 2026
Not only has Iran not backed down, but its military is newly claiming to take an “offensive” posture and has reshuffled its command accordingly. If there are new tit-for-tat attacks, Tehran is in essence saying the next salvo will go bigger.

Women Flee Ceuta After 15 Rapes Recorded Since Migrant Invasion

Via Remix News,

The Spanish Civil Guard has now confirmed there have been 15 rapes in Ceuta since the mass migrant invasion at the end of July, which has continued to shake Europe. In response, women are now reportedly fleeing the city in greater numbers as sexual violence spreads and scenes from the city portray a government unable to contain the growing chaos on the beaches and streets.

The latest rape reportedly occurred on Friday night on Lisboa Street, where three migrant brothers reportedly sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl. An investigation is ongoing regarding the incident. Remix News reported last week that five underage Moroccan girls had reportedly been raped in Ceuta since July 30, along with one underage boy. Since then, the number has risen to 15, according to the Spanish newspaper El Mundo.

Women in Ceuta are now reportedly looking for an exit. Two sisters, Yoli and María José, say they have left the city until the crisis ends due to fear for themselves and their daughters.

“What we are going through is very hard and it is very hard to hear journalists justify this Government, justify everything. We can’t take it anymore, we feel humiliated, trampled. I have had to take my daughters out of their house because the Government does nothing, because Mr. Pedro Sánchez is on vacation in La Mareta. Nobody cares about us,” said Yoli to Spanish television network Cuatro.

There have now been dozens of videos of women, both young and old, expressing their fears over the crisis. One asked, “Why do I have to leave my city, the city where my mother gave birth to me, where I was raised, and where I want to raise my children? What we are living through is very extreme.”

“I need someone to walk me to my front door at 29 years old. I never thought I would have to live through this situation we’re facing – never.”

The Civil Guard has already identified approximately 1,800 minors, who have all been issued an identification bracelet. Sources cited by El Mundo indicated that these minors are simply released back to the streets since they cannot be returned to Morocco.

Beyond the threat of rape and sexual assault, daily life has also come to a halt in many respects. Many areas of the beach remain occupied by thousands of migrants, while health services speak of a catastrophe due to the influx of patients, many carrying and transmitting diseases like tuberculosis.

The government has tried to present a picture of calm but an announcement that tents would start being erected for the migrants has fueled fears that many of the migrants could be in the area for some time to come. Meanwhile, 1,500 agents of the Civil Guard and the National Police, along with military personnel, continue to operate in the area.

Police sources have also pointed out deficiencies in border controls, among them problems with air conditioning and identification systems.

The detainee remains in Ceuta while the procedures for his extradition are completed. The case raises fears that during the chaos, migrants with terrorist motives may have made their way to European territory.

Footage of a catfight between two Spanish women in a Target has gone viral. Screenshot
A viral video has captured a seemingly recent catfight between hijab-wearing Somali women that has set the Internet ablaze.
As The Daily Mail reported on Monday, thousands have already seen footage of this brawl of people across several uploads, many from conservative accounts.
The video in question opens with two women wrestling on the ground and screaming at each other while pulling each other’s hair.
The woman in navy blue soon gained the upper hand. While on top, the woman lands several nasty blows while shouting: “I’ll spit on you h*e! I’ll spit on this b***h!”
The bystanders make little effort to break up the brawl. In fact, some are seen smiling and filming the entire incident on their phones.
After nearly two minutes, a man finally arrives on the scene to break up the fight. He grabs the more aggressive woman’s wrists and yanks her away.
As The Daily Dot notes, it’s unclear what started this fight or what city it occurred in.

Here we go again.
An Obama-appointed federal judge has blocked FBI Director Kash Patel’s plan to move the bureau’s headquarters into the existing Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C., a move Patel said would save American taxpayers billions of dollars.
U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang sided Monday with the Democrat-controlled state of Maryland and Prince George’s County.
Those jurisdictions had been the leading location for a brand-new, multi-billion-dollar FBI campus in Greenbelt until Patel and the General Services Administration decided last year to keep the headquarters inside the District of Columbia at a fraction of the cost.
Chuang vacated the July 2025 selection of the Reagan Building, blocked any renovations or relocation there, and erased the reprogramming of $555 million in funds. He declared the decisions “not in accordance with law” and beyond the agencies’ statutory authority.
The ruling effectively restores the path to the Biden-era Greenbelt site, even though Congress has still not fully funded that massive new construction project.
The ruling does not explicitly order the FBI to begin building in Greenbelt. It does, however, destroy Patel’s Reagan Building plan unless the administration wins on appeal or persuades Congress to change the law.
The FBI immediately fired back.
A bureau spokesperson accused the court of choosing to “impermissibly intervene for political reasons” and said the FBI would continue seeking the best available option for law enforcement.
Patel and the GSA announced the Reagan Building selection in July 2025 after nearly two decades of bureaucratic wrangling over a replacement for the deteriorating J. Edgar Hoover Building.
The Reagan complex is an existing, federally owned property located only a few blocks from the current headquarters. Administration officials argued that repurposing it would avoid billions in new construction expenses and more than $300 million in deferred maintenance at the Hoover Building.
But Maryland Democrats had thousands of jobs and an enormous economic windfall riding on the Greenbelt mega-project—and they immediately ran to federal court to keep it alive.
Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown celebrated Chuang’s decision, claiming it cleared the path for the headquarters to return to Greenbelt.
“Congress made a promise,” Brown said, according to Reuters. “The Trump administration tried to break it.”
Of course, that “promise” could leave taxpayers responsible for a proposed headquarters that Patel said would cost nearly $5 billion and remain unfinished until 2035.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Patel announced in May 2025 that the FBI would leave the unsafe Hoover Building while relocating approximately 1,500 Washington-area employees to field offices around the country. Patel had also previously proposed turning the notorious headquarters into a “Deep State museum.”
The Gateway Pundit later reported that Patel had finalized the Hoover Building’s permanent closure and planned to move most headquarters personnel into the Reagan complex. Patel presented that decision as a long-overdue victory over decades of federal waste and bureaucratic incompetence.
Now Judge Chuang has slammed the brakes on the entire operation.
