You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for February 25, 2026.

We break down a federal judge's nationwide injunction blocking the Trump administration's third-country deportation policy. The ruling from U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston requires notice and an opportunity to challenge removal when a home country refuses to accept the individual back. We explain why this oversteps executive authority, contradicts Supreme Court precedent on deportation not being punishment, and delays enforcement of existing immigration law.

We cover President Trump's 2026 State of the Union address, including its focus on American achievements, economic progress, border security wins, and recognition of heroism. We discuss the clear differences in how Republicans and Democrats responded to messages about prioritizing American citizens over illegal aliens. And American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson weigh in on the address.

We also look at the new National Fraud Enforcement Division announced by the Justice Department under Vice President J.D. Vance, recent commentary from New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani on a law enforcement incident involving officers, Kamala Harris's reaction to the address, promising college degrees with strong employment and earnings data, and an act of bravery by ICE officers who saved a child.
