Boston mayor ‘lives under a rock' for disagreeing with Trump's order to deport ‘illegal aliens'
'The American people did give President Trump a mandate to secure our southern border and to make America safe again, that's exactly what he's doing,' Mr Pearson told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
'If the mayor of Boston has a problem with that, well, she should take it up with the 80-plus million Americans who voted for President Trump.'

US to vet immigration applicants for 'anti-Americanism'
If you want to get into the US to work, study or live, you'd better have a clean slate when it comes to criticising aspects of American life. President Donald Trump's administration has said it will assess applicants for US work, study and immigration visas for "anti-Americanism" and count any such finding against them. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services said in a "policy alert" that it gave immigration officers new guidance on how to exercise discretion in cases where foreign applicants "support or promote anti-American ideologies or activities" as well as "antisemitic terrorism." Trump has labelled a range of voices as anti-American, including historians and museums documenting US slavery and pro-Palestinian protesters opposing US ally Israel's military assault on Gaza. "Anti-American activity will be an overwhelmingly negative factor in any discretionary analysis," USCIS said. "America's benefits should not be given to those who despise the country and promote anti-American ideologies." The announcement did not define anti-Americanism. But the policy manual refers to a section of federal law about prohibiting naturalisation of people "opposed to government or law, or who favour totalitarian forms of government." Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, said the step had echoes of the 1950s when Senator Joseph McCarthy hunted alleged communists in a campaign that became synonymous with political persecution. "McCarthyism returns to immigration law," he said. Anti-Americanism "has no prior precedent in immigration law and its definition is entirely up to the Trump admin."

‘Very weird': Megyn Kelly roasts ex-FBI boss' ‘cringey' Taylor Swift gushing video
'The Megyn Kelly Show' host Megyn Kelly has commented on former FBI director James Comey's odd confession. Mr Comey has revealed he has a new coping mechanism to handle US President Donald Trump's leadership – listening to Taylor Swift's music and attempting to follow the singer's wisdom. 'Oh my god, it was so cringey, as the kids say. He sounded like a stalker,' Ms Kelly told Sky News host Paul Murray. 'You went to a concert. You don't know Taylor. 'What grown man like in their 60s talks like that about Taylor Swift – it was just creepy.'
