(Brownsville, Texas, March 24, 2015). Today, Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his counsel Larry Klayman filed another amicus brief with the court which enjoined the illegal immigration executive actions of President Obama and his Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”). In this brief, Arpaio and Klayman detail the falsehoods put forth by the Obama Justice Department on behalf of the president in trying to prevent the issuance of an order temporarily enjoining the implementation of these executive actions which would amount to amnesty for over 5 million illegal aliens, many of whom have criminal records. Specifically, lawyers of Obama’s Justice Department told…

March 20, 2015, Washington, D.C. – Today, Larry Klayman, the founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, announces that the U.S. State Department has admitted Hillary Clinton’s wrongdoing to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit (“D.C. Circuit”). This lawsuit, now on appeal, involves the State Department’s failure to sufficiently release documents related to Hillary Clinton’s granting of sanction waivers to countries doing business with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Freedom Watch filed a motion with the D.C. Circuit seeking to have the case remanded to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (“District Court”) in…

Brownsville, Texas (March 9, 2015) – Federal judge Andrew Hanen has opened an inquiry into whether President Barack Obama violated a temporary injunction that halted Obama’s amnesty programs on February 16, 2015. Judge Hanen has set a hearing for March 19, 2015, at 1:30 PM CST. Perhaps of greatest significance, Judge Hanen has also frozen all other motions pending before him in the case. As a result, the Government’s request to move forward with amnesty for approximately 5 million illegal aliens has been stopped. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas will not consider the U.S. Government’s…

Today, Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his attorney Larry Klayman announced that the federal appeals court in the District of Columbia will hold an oral argument on their case to preliminarily enjoin President Obama and the other defendants from implementing their unconstitutional power grab to grant amnesty to over 5 million illegal aliens. Sheriff Arpaio, with Klayman as his lawyer, filed the first lawsuit last year within days of President Obama’s executive actions to block his attempted…

Obstruction of Justice of Freedom of Information Act Requests (FOIA) Over Iran Nuclear Program and Waivers to Iranian Economic Sanctions Implicated Latest Clinton Crime Similar to E-Mail Scandal During Clinton Administration (Washington, D.C., March 4, 2015). Larry Klayman, Esq., the founder of Judicial Watch and now Freedom Watch and a former federal prosecutor at the U.S. Department of Justice, announced today that he is filing motions for orders to show cause why Hillary Clinton and the Obama State Department should not be held in criminal contempt for lying to various courts (and obstructing justice) over their responses to FOIA Requests…

(Washington, D.C., March 3, 2015). Today, Larry Klayman, the founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch and a former federal prosecutor read with interest a front page story of March 2, 2015, in The Washington Post by Anne Gearan titled “Clinton, Netanyahu Have a Complicated History.” One reason for this complicated relationship could be the likely complicit release by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of classified information during a critical stage of the Iranian nuclear negotiations of Israeli war plans to eliminate the Iranian nuclear program. The likely reason for the release was to try to harm Israeli war plans,…

Brownsville, Texas (February 16, 2015) – A federal injunction halted President Obama’s “deferred action” programs for amnesty for an estimated 5 million illegal aliens. At 11:04 P.M., EST, the Honorable Andrew Hanen, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, published an order granting a temporary injunction. The result is to halt Obama’s amnesty programs pending the results of a full trial in the Texas federal courtroom. Larry Klayman, general counsel of Freedom Watch, Inc.

(Washington, D.C., February 9, 2015). Larry Klayman, the founder of Judicial Watch and now Freedom Watch, a former federal prosecutor, U.S. Senate candidate in Florida, and a weekly columnist and frequent television guest, reacted today to President Barack Hussein Obama’s recent comments at the National Prayer Breakfast last Friday. Specifically, downplaying, as has been the theme throughout his administration that Islam has anything to do with terrorist attacks at home and abroad, the President went on the attack: “And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades…

(Washington, D.C., January 29, 2015). Today, Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, through his attorney Larry Klayman, a former Justice Department prosecutor and founder of Freedom Watch, filed an appellate brief before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (“D.C. Circuit”) (Case No. 14-5325) arguing that the lower court judge who dismissed the case committed gross legal error. Not only did Judge Beryl Howell, an Obama appointee, strangely and inexplicably find that her Court could not adjudicate a dispute between the President and Congress over who has the constitutional authority to change our immigration laws…

(Brownsville, TX., January 21, 2015). Today, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, through his counsel Larry Klayman, filed an amicus brief or “friend of the court” brief in the case now underway in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, arguing that an earlier ruling in his case styled 1:14-cv-01966 before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia should not be used as precedent, as the lower court Judge Beryl Howell, an Obama appointee, issued a grossly flawed decision denying a motion for preliminary injunction. That decision, dated December 23, 2014, is now on expedited appeal before the…
