900 Visas Revoked in Birth Tourism Crackdown: State Department
A State Department official said that US officials have observed a ‘global phenomenon’ where networks try to effectively sell U.S. citizenship.

The U.S. Department of State on Aug. 20 said that nearly 900 visas have been revoked since a birth tourism task force was created in early August.
Birth tourism refers to a foreign national traveling to another country to give birth there in a bid to allow the child to gain citizenship of that country. The Trump administration attempted to end birthright citizenship through an executive order last year, which was challenged in court and later blocked by multiple judges.
Describing birth tourism as “an insidious practice,” State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott told Newsmax’s National Report that officials are “seeing this be a global phenomenon, and we’re seeing these networks that are profiting, trying to essentially sell U.S. citizenship.”

“This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the security of a strategic regional partner that has been and continues to be an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East,” the State Department stated.

DOJ Seeks to Question FBI Officials on Mar-a-Lago Search: Sources
(AP)
Thursday, 20 August 2026 07:59 PM EDT
The Justice Department has requested to interview FBI officials who were involved in the 2022 search of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida as part of a wide-ranging probe examining past investigations of the president, four sources familiar with the matter said on Thursday.
The requests came from investigators working with Joe diGenova, a Trump ally who began overseeing the Florida-based investigation earlier this year. The investigation has been seeking to establish that Trump was the victim of a criminal conspiracy against his rights.
The questioning over the Mar-a-Lago search, which was first reported by the Associated Press, is an indication the probe is examining a range of prior government investigations into Trump's conduct.
Spokespeople for the Justice Department and FBI did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has just given Chinese President Xi Jinping something rather uncomfortable to think about ahead of his September visit to the White House.
Rubio made a formal determination Thursday that American citizen Min Zin – who has been languishing in a Chinese prison for nearly three months – is being wrongfully detained by the Chinese government.
Assistant Secretary of State Dylan Johnson confirmed the development, saying Rubio came to this determination following "an extensive review of the circumstances."

The Democrats' ActBlue Scandal Just Went From Bad to Worse

Pleading the Fifth in front of Congress is all the rage among the left's elite this summer.
We just had Anthony Fauci do it 111 times as he refused to answer questions about his role in the COVID-19 pandemic, including U.S. funding for controversial virus research in Wuhan and whether he had previously misled Congress about it.
And, now, the folks at scandal-ridden ActBlue are getting in on the act, with the co-founder refusing to answer questions in a closed-door deposition before three key House committees. This comes just a few months after the company's CEO pulled a Fauci and pleaded the Fifth when appearing in front of the Committee on House Administration.
For context, ActBlue is the main online fundraising platform used by the Democrat Party to process billions of dollars in small-dollar donations for Democrat candidates, committees, and left-wing organizations.
As RedState reported back in June, ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones uttered one phrase over and over again to congressional investigators: "On the advice of my counsel, I respectfully decline to answer this question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution."
On Thursday, Wallace-Jones' colleague, platform co-founder Matt DeBergalis, reportedly did the same.

The aircraft carrier USS George Washington officially entered the waters of the Middle East on Aug. 19, bringing fresh forces to the region and relief for the carrier USS Abraham Lincoln.
“The George Washington Carrier Strike Group is operating in Middle East during a scheduled deployment after arriving in the [U.S. Central Command] theater yesterday,” the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a social media post on Aug. 20.
Washington’s arrival in the region comes as the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln faces strain nearly nine months into its current deployment. The Lincoln deployed in November and has been supporting strikes and blockade operations against Iran since they began on Feb. 28.

A Tale of 2 Straits: Global Shippers Prefer Washington’s Version Over Tehran’s
Increasing ‘dark transit’ traffic undermines Iran’s claim it controls Hormuz, but an Aug. 18 missile attack undermines U.S. assurances of safe passage.

With the Aug. 17 expiration of the 60-day memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran, there’s little indication either side is backing down from dueling narratives about who controls access to the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz.
It remains a tale of two straits.
Tehran maintains that the 104-mile-long waterway is closed to ships unless they enter and exit the Gulf through the Iranian Unilateral Scheme, or northern route, that previously was exclusively used for inbound traffic.
Global shippers refute any Iranian claim of sovereignty and Washington maintains that ships are moving through the United Nations’ authorized southern route along the Omani coast, which was formerly designed for outbound traffic into the Gulf of Oman, under the protection of U.S. Navy destroyers.

Brussels Says All Migrants Still Illegally in Ceuta Must Be Returned to Morocco, Minors Included
The European Commission said on Tuesday that EU law allows for such returns.

The European Commission said on Aug. 18 that it expects all migrants still living illegally in Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta to be returned to Morocco, and that European Union law allows unaccompanied minors to be sent back as well.
“The priority is now for the Spanish and for the Moroccan authorities to maintain control of the situation and to ensure the swift return of all those who illegally remain in Ceuta,” Markus Lammert, the Commission’s home affairs spokesman, told reporters in Brussels.
Asked whether “all” also covered children who crossed without their families, Lammert said the matter was governed by EU legislation. He cited the return directive and the EU return regulation that will replace it, saying both provide for the removal of people staying illegally, “including unaccompanied minors.”
