Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Siggy Flicker departed the series after Season 8. After fighting about cake and her co-stars being less intelligent, she was done. Siggy also left New Jersey in the rearview and moved to Florida. And now she has a new position, courtesy of President Donald Trump.
Siggy Flicker Appointed to US Holocaust Memorial Council along with other members
The podcaster, POTUS supporter, and member of his Mar-a-Lago Club, has a new position. The Washington Post reported that President Trump added five members to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, including Siggy. These appointments will also replace the members who were fired on April 29, 2025. Those previous appointees were all appointed by former President Joe Biden.
Consequently, President Trump announced the news in a Truth Social post on Monday night. 'They are all strong supporters of Israel, and will ensure we NEVER FORGET,' he wrote. 'Congratulations to all!'
Of course, Siggy responded to the president's message via her Instagram. 'Thank you for the privilege & honor to represent and never forget,' she wrote. Further, her profile pic shows her with the president, holding an Israeli flag.
However, Siggy's stepson was involved in some controversy. Tyler Campanella was arrested and charged with five misdemeanors relating to the January 6th riot. Additionally, the FBI mentioned one of Siggy's Instagram posts, which showed Tyler inside the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The photo was captioned, 'I love patriots so much. Stay safe Tyler. We love you.'
Trump's decision to remove Biden's appointees has raised some alarms. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland) told the Washington Post that Trump's decision, 'Can only be seen as a profoundly divisive measure against a truly important institution.'
No word yet on how Siggy's former RHONJ co-stars reacted to the news. She had a famously rocky relationship with Margaret Josephs. I can't wait to hear Marge's hot take.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

Detained Columbia graduate claims ‘irreparable harm' to career and family as he pleads for release
NEW YORK -- A Columbia graduate facing deportation over his pro-Palestinian activism on campus has outlined the 'irreparable harm' caused by his continued detention as a federal judge weighs his release. Mahmoud Khalil said in court filings unsealed Thursday that the 'most immediate and visceral harms' he's faced in his months detained in Louisiana relate to missing out on the birth of his first child in April. 'Instead of holding my wife's hand in the delivery room, I was crouched on a detention center floor, whispering through a crackling phone line as she labored alone,' the 30-year-old legal U.S. resident wrote. 'When I heard my son's first cries, I buried my face in my arms so no one would see me weep.' He also cited potentially 'career-ending' harms from the ordeal, noting that Oxfam International has already rescinded a job offer to serve as a policy advisor. Even his mother's visa to come to the U.S. to help care for his infant son is also now under federal review, Khalil said. 'As someone who fled prosecution in Syria for my political beliefs, for who I am, I never imagined myself to be in immigration detention, here in the United States,' he wrote. 'Why should protesting this Israel government's indiscriminate killing of thousands of innocent Palestinians result in the erosion of my constitutional rights?' Spokespersons for the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment. Khalil's 13-page statement was among a number of legal declarations his lawyers filed highlighting the wide-ranging negative impacts of his arrest. Dr. Noor Abdalla, his U.S. citizen wife, described the challenges of not having her husband to help navigate their son's birth and the first weeks of his young life. Students and professors at Columbia wrote about the chilling effect Khalil's arrest has had on campus life, with people afraid to attend protests or participate in groups that can be viewed as critical of the Trump administration. Last week, a federal judge in New Jersey said the Trump administration's effort to deport Khalil likely violates the Constitution. Judge Michael Farbiarz wrote the government's primary justification for removing Khalil — that his beliefs may pose a threat to U.S. foreign policy — could open the door to vague and arbitrary enforcement. Khalil was detained by federal immigration agents on March 8 in the lobby of his university-owned apartment, the first arrest under Trump's widening crackdown on students who joined campus protests against .

Peruvian migrant acquitted in the first trial over the new militarized zone at US-Mexico border
EL PASO, Texas -- A Peruvian woman who crossed the U.S. border illegally was acquitted Thursday of unauthorized access to a newly designated militarized zone in the first trial under the Trump administration's efforts to prosecute immigrants who cross in certain parts of New Mexico and western Texas. Adely Vanessa De La Cruz-Alvarez, 21, was arrested last month near the West Texas town of Tornillo after she entered the U.S. from Mexico by walking across the riverbed of the Rio Grande, court documents show. In addition to being charged with entering the country illegally, she was charged with accessing a military zone. She is among several other immigrants who have been charged under the law since President Donald Trump's administration transferred oversight of a strip of land along the border to the military. It is as part of a new approach the Department of Justice is taking to crack down on illegal immigration. The Associated Press left messages Thursday with De La Cruz-Alvarez's attorney, Veronica Teresa Lerma. The lawyer told The Texas Tribune the acquittal is significant. 'Hopefully, this sets the tone for the federal government,' Lerma said, 'so they know what the El Paso community will do with these charges.' Even before the woman's case went to trial, federal magistrate judges in neighboring New Mexico had dismissed similar cases, finding little evidence that immigrants knew about the zones. Lerma was convicted of entering the country illegally and was already facing deportation, but could have faced up to 18 months in prison for entering the militarized zone. Despite the verdict, U.S. Attorney Justin Simmons of the Western District of Texas said his office will continue to aggressively prosecute National Defense Area violations. 'At the end of the day, another illegal alien has been found guilty of illegally entering the country in violation of the improper entry statute and will be removed from the United States,' Simmons said in a statement. "That's a win for America." The administration wants to sharply increase the removal of immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally as Trump seeks to make good on his pledge of mass deportations. The administration has deployed thousands of troops to the border, while arrests have plunged to the lowest levels since the mid-1960s.
