This week, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem got in a heated argument with Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman (NY). The hearing was meant to focus on the budget. Of course, the hearing got sidetracked when Democrats began to press Noem about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the so-called “Maryland Man” who was living in the United States illegally and got deported to El Salvador. Democrats have flown to El Salvador to advocate for his release, despite the fact that judges determined that he is a member of MS-13. "It's gotta be extremely discouraging to be one of your constituents," Noem told...

A 64-year-old grandmother in the U.S. without documentation is facing deportation after she mistakenly took the wrong exit on her way home from work. Ana Camero’s family says she’s currently being held at Otay Mesa Detention Center more than a month after she made the unexpected detour and ended up at the entrance to a U.S. Marines facility in San Diego. Camero was driving home from her job as a dishwasher at a La Jolla restaurant on April 7 when she stopped to get gas. She then drove into the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego by mistake. There,...

During his first term, President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing the Census Bureau to add a question about citizenship status to the 2020 national survey. There was good reason for this. The Census is used to count the population. Population numbers are then used to determine how many congressional seats are allocated to each state. Given illegal aliens aren’t citizens and ineligible to vote, they should not have representation in Congress and Democrats shouldn’t benefit from additional congressional seats based on an illegal population. “If unauthorized immigrants were excluded from the apportionment count, California, Florida and Texas would...

In yet another glaring example of failed immigration enforcement and soft-on-crime policies, the illegal immigrant accused of stealing Department of Homeland Security Secretary (DHS) Kristi Noem’s purse was reportedly released after committing a similar theft in New York City just weeks earlier. Instead of facing swift deportation or serious consequences, the suspect was reportedly freed, highlighting the disastrous impact of sanctuary city policies. According to a newly released report, the suspect and illegal alien from Chile, Mario Bustamante-Leiva, was previously arrested in New York City. As he stole Noem’s purse from a restaurant in Washington, D.C., the New York Police...

If we don’t insist on the total assimilation and Americanization of our immigrants, we’ll cease to be America and become something else.. If you want to know what mass immigration without assimilation produces in a country, look no further than Scotland. Immigrants from Pakistan now constitute an ethno-religious voting bloc in that country with their very own politicians advocating for nakedly sectarian interests. Recently, a video clip from 2022 resurfaced on social media of Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar standing in front of the flag of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan claiming that “change is coming” and forthrightly calling for...

To begin to fix immigration, we must agree the American identity is worth preserving and then work to build an immigration system that nourishes it.Can Washington discuss immigration without devolving into a debate about racism? If we lay down our Twitter weapons, perhaps we could discuss what kind of immigration we need. Should we allow anyone, from anywhere, to come here at any time? Amid the political establishment’s promotion of all immigration as virtuous and their relentless attacks on all things traditional or patriotic, we can demand something better: An immigration system that is good for America and requires that...

Truckers are celebrating President Donald Trump’s decision to restore enforcement of a rule that excludes foreign truckers from the roads if they cannot read English-language signs and instructions. “They’re celebrating … Everybody’s excited, they’re happy,” said Shannon Everett, a cofounder of American Truckers United. who explained the truckers’ problems to Breitbart News in March. The change is set by an executive order to be signed by Trump on Monday. The order tells Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy “to ensure drivers violating English proficiency rules are placed out-of-service, enhancing roadway safety,” and directs him to revamp other aspects of the trucking industry....

A judge who allegedly helped an illegal alien evade capture has herself been arrested by federal authorities, just one week after another judge received a lifetime ban from the bench for harboring an MS-13 gang member in his own home. Judge Hannah Dugan was cuffed by FBI agents on Friday after helping the individual “evade arrest,” according to a statement by Director Kash Patel. She is charged with knowingly misdirecting federal officers away from the illegal immigrant as he hid in the courthouse. “The FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction — after evidence...

Abrego Garcia was pulled over on a Tennessee highway in 2022 and suspected of human smuggling after local authorities discovered he was transporting eight passengers with no apparent luggage. The vehicle Abrego Garcia was driving belonged to Jose Ramon Hernandez-Reyes, an illegal migrant who was sentenced to prison for human smuggling in 2020, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed Wednesday ...

It’s a good thing Rob O’Neil ventilated Osama bin Laden’s head and did not take him into custody, or else Democrats would be forming a conga line of stupidity to march into whatever prison he was being held in to demand his release. Not immediately, they’d wait until President Donald Trump expressed pride that the terrorist leader was no longer able to kill Americans, and that would be enough to set off the left, which has a policy of being against anything Trump supports, no matter how bad it makes them look. They’ll try to deny it, but we must...

A Doña Ana County magistrate judge has abruptly stepped down after an alleged Tren de Aragua gang affiliate who is in the U.S. illegally was reportedly arrested at his home and charged with possession of a firearm or ammunition. Judge Jose “Joel” Cano reportedly submitted a letter of resignation on Mar. 3 of this year. Judge Cano, a former police officer who took the bench in 2011, told a Border Hawk source that he did indeed resign but did not comment further. Border Hawk contacted the judge’s office on Apr. 1 and was told by a clerk that he had...

Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has thrown her support behind Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the accused MS-13 gang member and alleged domestic abuser who was deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration. “Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism,” the former secretary of state wrote in a Wednesday X post: “If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone,” Clinton continued. “Americans of conscience must stand against this now.” Abrego Garcia, 29, entered the United States illegally when he was 16...

Angel Moms Patty Morin and Tammy Nobles are ripping Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) for traveling to El Salvador in an attempt to visit a deported illegal alien, accused of MS-13 gang membership and domestic violence, after ignoring the murders of their daughters in Maryland — 37-year-old Rachel Morin and 20-year-old Kayla Hamilton — both at the hands of illegal aliens. This week, Van Hollen traveled to El Salvador in the hopes of visiting 29-year-old Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien who crossed the United States-Mexico border in 2011 and has since been accused of being an MS-13 gang member,...

Most Americans have no idea what’s happening on their highways. While we’re all stuck debating the border, our roads have also been totally overrun — not just with bad policies, but with foreign truck drivers who don’t belong behind the wheel or on our streets.. Shannon Everett from American Truckers joined Steve Bannon’s WarRoom to blow the lid off this growing and dangerous trend. According to Everett, what’s happening right now should terrify anyone who drives. That’s scary and disturbing, but it gets even worse… An American trucker says illegals — possibly Jamaican or Haitian—are being given commercial driver’s licenses,...

President Trump just signed an order to stop illegal immigrants from obtaining benefits under the Social Security Act and prioritize enforcement actions. Here is the text: By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby direct:

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) has pledged to travel to El Salvador to “discuss” the release of an alleged MS-13 gang member who was deported last month, leading a group of other Democrat lawmakers to demand the man’s return to the U.S. Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, a 29-year-old Salvadoran national who entered the United States illegally when he was 16, was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Maryland, where he resided, on March 12. Abrego-Garcia was previously arrested by immigration officials on March 28, 2019, with Judge Elizabeth Kessler finding that he “was arrested in the company of other...
