A federal judge on Friday ruled that the Trump administration’s attempt to deploy National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, was unconstitutional. On Sunday, US District Court Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, temporarily extended an order blocking the administration from deploying troops to The Rose City, saying the government failed to justify the move. In the Sunday evening order, Immergut temporarily blocked “Defendant Secretary of Defense [Pete] Hegseth from implementing” memorandums that authorized the federalization and deployment of National Guard members from Oregon, Texas and California into Portland. The injunction remained in effect until Friday. Friday’s 106-page ruling makes the...

See the old man with the kindly eyes? There’s nothing kindly about them. And there’s nothing kind about what’s waiting for you and your family out on the highways. Just listen: On November 8, 1994 there was a light drizzle and fog on the Illinois expressways and up into Wisconsin. It was fall. Temperatures were in the 40s. Now think of the Willis family packed into the family van, six kids and parents on the expressway near Milwaukee. The father, my friend Scott Willis, a Christian pastor from Mt. Greenwood, was driving. His wife Janet was in the seat next...

The data recently obtain by CIS as part of a lengthy and ongoing Freedom of Information Act litigation demonstrated that HHS lost contact with 112,872 UACs after 30 days of being released to sponsors, between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2023, and the UACs safety or whereabouts could not be determined.

A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against federal immigration agents over their use of force during Operation Midway Blitz, telling lawyers for the Trump administration she found their evidence "simply not credible." "It is difficult to conceive how an injunction requiring the government to comply with the Constitution could possibly be harmful," U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis said as she explained her decision. She said she is granting "complete relief to plaintiffs" and rejected the government's request for a stay pending appeal, saying they have not made a strong showing that they're likely to succeed on the merits of...

WESTHAMPTON BEACH, NY — Outraged residents have turned to social media to express their concerns after a surge of ICE activity in Westhampton Beach and Hampton Bays Wednesday. Large, unmarked SUVs in dark and silver colors were seen at multiple locations, including 7-Eleven in Westhampton Beach and the King Kullen parking lot in Hampton Bays. According to Minerva Perez, executive director of OLA of Eastern Long Island, a Latino advocacy organization, it is believed that about six or seven individuals were detained and arrested in the Hampton Bays area and, possibly, four in Westhampton Beach.

An Illinois state senator is fuming following the death of two constituents allegedly caused by an illegal immigrant driving his car under the influence, asking what more it will take for Democrats to take action. Edwin Pacheco-Meza, 34, was allegedly driving his car under the influence when he caused a crash on Oct. 24 that killed Coles County Board member Michael Clayton and his wife, Gail Clayton, in Westfield, Illinois, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Juan Morales-Martinez, an 18-year-old passenger inside the car Pacheco-Meza was driving, was also arrested. Ammunition, an extended magazine, drugs and an open...

President Donald Trump has picked up a big win at the U.S. Supreme Court on a key issue driving his presidency. The court annulled a lower court injunction that was obstructing the president from revoking the protected legal status of hundreds of thousands of migrants presently living in the United States. The ruling was 8–1 in support of the president’s position, with the sole dissent originating from Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, appointed by former President Joe Biden. The ruling facilitates the Trump administration’s efforts to revoke Biden-era Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 300,000 Venezuelan migrants residing in the U.S.....

A noncitizen mayor in Kansas has been busted on several charges after voting illegally in several elections despite his status. As Fox News reported, Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab and Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach announced they filed charges in Comanche County against Clearwater, Kansas Mayor Joe Ceballos, a permanent resident from Mexico, for voting in elections in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Kobach said Ceballos has been charged with three counts of voting without being qualified and three counts of election perjury. The Kansas Reflector notes that both are felony offenses. Kobach also stated that his charges carry a...

CHICAGO (AP) — A federal judge in Chicago will issue an extensive injunction restricting federal agents’ use of force, saying Thursday that a top Border Patrol official leading an immigration crackdown repeatedly lied about threats posed by protesters and reporters.The preliminary injunction detailed in court Thursday came in response to a lawsuit filed by news outlets and protesters who allege federal agents have used excessive force during the operation that has netted more than 3,000 arrests and led to heated clashes across the nation’s third-largest city and its many suburbs. “I see little reason for the use of force that...

HOUSTON, Texas — In a high-impact 10-day operation across Southeast Texas, ICE Houston arrested 1,505 illegal aliens—including gang members, child rapists, and foreign fugitives—amid growing public demand for immigration enforcement and national security. The arrests included a Mexican Mafia member wanted for murder and rape, a four-time deported Paisas gang member with a violent record, and five child predators—all previously roaming free in American communities. Breitbart Texas rode with ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers during this immigration crackdown.ICE officials say the crackdown sends a clear message: criminal aliens will no longer exploit U.S. borders with impunity.

The Trump administration has slashed refugee resettlement, reorienting the program in line with the desires expressed by the American people last November, a top State Department spokesperson told Breitbart News. Trump’s moves deliver on a key campaign promise after the Biden administration abused the program to facilitate mass migration into the United States and radically transform American communities. Under President Trump, just 7,500 refugees, will be admitted into the United States in fiscal year 2026. Those numbers mark a 94 percent drawdown from the Biden administration’s goal of accepting 125,000 migrants through the refugee admissions process in its final year,...

The oral health program of Santa Cruz County’s public health division is collaborating with Dientes Community Dental to publicize upcoming changes to dental benefits that will affect undocumented immigrants. Beginning Jan. 1, there will be an enrollment freeze, and adults will not be able to apply for full, non-emergency Medi-Cal benefits without proper immigration documentation.

Federal immigration authorities made mass arrests of illegal migrant truck drivers along a single highway during a two-day operation in Oklahoma. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), working alongside the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, nabbed 70 illegal migrants along the I-40 interstate in late October, including 34 who were operating big-rig trucks in violation of state law, according to the agency. The massive bust follows an ongoing crackdown by the Trump administration against illegal migrant truck drivers. “For the second time in just the past month, the state of Oklahoma and ICE have banded together to bolster public safety along Oklahoma’s highways,...

The Biden administration’s border policies are still haunting us.An Indian illegal immigrant faces three counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and reckless driving for allegedly causing a collision last month on the westbound 10 Freeway in San Bernardino County, California, according to the New York Post.Jashanpreet Singh, 21, is accused of crashing a semi-truck into traffic where three people were killed and four were injured.Singh faced 17 years in prison, but that was downgraded to 10 after it was discovered he was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol — something authorities originally claimed.Immigration and Customs Enforcement wants...

A member of the city council in New York recently outlined a plan to allocate almost $200 million in taxpayer funds to be used to legally defend illegal immigrants from ICE and the Trump administration.If you watch the video below, it is crystal clear that this woman and the people like her believe that their power supersedes the power of the federal government and federal immigration laws.It’s almost like these people think that New York City is a country within the country and that it belongs to them.From Stu Smith on Twitter/X:NYC Council Member Tiffany Cabán, a Democratic Socialists of...

A Harvard astrophysicist who believes the Manhattan-sized comet hurtling towards Earth could possibly be fueled by alien technology has invited Kim Kardashian to join his research team — after she got a quick response from the federal government. Kardashian asked NASA’s acting administrator Sean Duffy on X last week to spill the “tea” on 3I/ATLAS, the mysterious interstellar comet that’s baffled scientists like Avi Loeb with its anomalous qualities. “Great question!” Duffy promptly responded to Kardashian’s query. “@NASA’s observations show that this is the third interstellar comet to pass through our solar system. No aliens. No threat to life here...

Tucker Carlson’s Populist Poison Laced with pro Nazism Is Driving Some Young Jews Toward the Radical Left e.g. Mamdani (just like Charlottesville 2017 helped Biden). Tucker Carlson’s Populist Poison Laced with pro Nazism Is Driving Some Young Jews Toward the Radical Left e.g. Mamdani. Tucker Carlson built his brand on the illusion of defending “real America,” but what he’s actually done is mainstream grievance politics and conspiracy rhetoric that corrodes the conservative movement from within. By flirting with isolationism, even pro-Hitler Fuentes, Holocaust denier Darryl Cooper, excusing antisemitic tropes, and casting suspicion on Israel’s moral legitimacy, Carlson has alienated countless...

9/11 didn’t destroy New York City. 11/04 will. The largest city in America has fallen. The world’s financial capital will henceforth be run by a communist. What could go wrong? What has always gone wrong, throughout history—with no exception—when Marxists/Communists run a city, state, or nation. That’s what could go wrong. The incentivization of sloth and dependency, the degradation of production and commerce, the collapse of the economy, the resulting lack of goods and services, the utter destruction of the middle class, the diminution of liberty, and the evisceration of moral character. For starters. I have long warned Republicans and...

William Wolfe 🇺🇸 @William_E_Wolfe It’s incredibly important to understand that Mamdani was not actually elected mayor of the historic American city that we know as “New York City” because that city doesn’t exist anymore. Due to intentional mass replacement immigration, New York City is now a third world metropolis wearing the Big Apple as a skin suit. Americans didn’t elect Mamdani, foreigners did. And his election is not the beginning of the end for NYC—it’s a death certificate. Finally, it’s a reminder that everything right now inescapably comes back to immigration. If we don’t stop mass migration and accelerate deportations,...

Far-left Democrats in the Illinois General Assembly have passed a bill that will provide sanctuary to illegal aliens in courthouses and give them a right to sue the federal agents who arrest them.Hate-Trump Governor J.B. Pritzker, who believes federal immigration and other agents are “Gestapo” stormtroopers and vows to prosecute them, will almost certainly sign the bill as soon as it hits his desk.The federal Justice Department will likely sue to overturn the bill under the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, an action that might go nowhere. A federal judge appointed by President Joe Biden dismissed the department’s lawsuit to overturn Chicago’s...
