The Trump administration announced plans Wednesday to add another militarized zone to the southern border — this time in California — as part of a major shift that has thrust troops into border enforcement with Mexico like never before. The Department of Interior said it would transfer jurisdiction along most of California's border with Mexico to the Navy to reinforce "the historic role public lands have played in safeguarding national sovereignty." The Interior Department described the newest national defense area in California as a high-traffic zone for unlawful crossings by immigrants. But Border Patrol arrests along the southern U.S. border...

On Friday, the Supreme Court announced that it would hear challenges to President Donald Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment automatically makes all babies born on American territory citizens. Trump’s effort to overturn the traditional reading of the constitutional text and history should not succeed. Ratified in 1868, the 14th Amendment provided a constitutional definition of citizenship for the first time. It declares that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside." In antebellum America, states...

On Tuesday afternoon's Chris Jansing Reports, MS NOW promoted a liberal activist who stalks immigration agents so she can warn illegal aliens of their presence and keep them from being arrested. She also made the left's latest reference to Nazi Germany by invoking Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel. Jansing set up the piece by touting the "grandmother" who is trying to undermine federal agents: In New Orleans heightened fear as federal agents enforce President Trump's immigration crackdown. But one local grandmother is rolling up her sleeves and pushing back: 71-year-old Reverend Jane Mauldin says her faith drives her to keep her...

"Construction bro raising a family spills the tea on what impact illegals REALLY have on his worksites."

Minnesota’s embattled Democrat Governor Tim Walz earned a standing ovation at a party fundraiser in Seattle Tuesday when he promised to bring even more fraud-prone Somali migrants into his state. The failed Democrat nominee for vice president appeared at a fundraiser luncheon sponsored by Gov. Bob Ferguson (D-WA), where Walz told the audience that Somalis were being “demonized” by critics of the Minnesota Somali community’s billions in fraud and wholesale theft of state welfare funding. “These folks better not ever mistake our kindness for our weakness because we are going to defend our neighbors. These guys bring out the worst...

... On Oct. 18, Caceres had been headed to Texas to photograph a wedding when he was detained while going through security at John Wayne Airport. Caceres and his wife of a year and a half, who is a U.S. citizen, had been wary of travel as mass deportations increased nationwide under the Trump administration. Still, he had clients counting on him. And he believed he would be safe: Caceres said he had fled to the United States as a teenager seeking asylum and had continued following immigration requirements over the years, including completing biometrics and updating his address the...

Somali student in Minnesota threatens to ‘pop’ ICE agents in expletive-ridden, viral rant A Somali Minnesota college student has come under fire for threatening to “pop” ICE agents in an expletive-laden viral social media rant. Hasan Mohamed was blasted after he posted the menacing anti-ICE tirade on social media, where he vowed to shoot immigration agents the next time they show up in his Owatonna neighborhood. “ICE, I actually heard you guys pulled up to Owatonna, the big O, and you pulled up when I was not there? Y’all so p–s-ass s–t, boy. You’re gonna get popped next time I...

Safe to say, traditional Catholics repelled by the liberal views of the late Pope Francis are not finding much relief under its new pontiff. In October, Pope Leo took yet another sharp-tongued and sarcastic aim at President Donald Trump for ejecting illegal immigrants from America, likening it to abortion and implying he is a hypocrite. "Someone who says I am against abortion but in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro life," the Bishop of Rome pondered out loud to media from his luxe Castel Gandolfo digs in Italy. Castel...

Either Americans win, or the criminals do. Pithy social critic David Burge said it best: “Journalism is about covering important stories — with a pillow, until they stop moving.” One of the important stories that “journalists” are covering up today is the Trump administration’s increasingly successful efforts to combat violent crime. At the end of July, the Department of Homeland Security released a report showing that violent crime rates had dropped significantly during the first six months of President Trump’s second term. Homicides were down 17%; gun assaults were down 21%; aggravated assaults were down 10%; sexual assaults were down...

The Trump administration must stop deploying the California National Guard in Los Angeles and return control of the troops to the state, a federal judge ruled Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco granted a preliminary injunction sought by California officials who opposed President Donald Trump’s extraordinary move to use state Guard troops without the governor’s approval to further his immigration enforcement efforts. But he also put the decision on hold until Monday. California argued that conditions in Los Angeles had changed since Trump first took command of the troops and deployed them in June. The administration initially...

BOMBSHELL: Information request unveils Tim Walz's Minnesota is funneling property taxes to NGOs "Ramsey County gave a whopping $38.4 million to a total of 213 NGOs!" "They proposed that for the next year's budget to increase property taxes by 9.75%. So they're spending $38.4 million on 213 NGOs, and now they want more!" "Property tax money does NOT belong in the coffers of NGOs. It just doesn't. And ultimately, I think that it's a gross misappropriation of funds!" "[The state is] not auditing these NGOs receiving property tax money from Ramsey County."

President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is launching a public database where Americans can search the “worst of the worst” illegal aliens arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The database, known as dhs.gov/wow, aggregates various information on illegal aliens arrested by ICE agents, including the location of their arrest, their crimes, and their names. DHS officials said the database is crucial so that Americans no longer have to rely on the establishment media to highlight migrant crime. “This new Worst of the Worst webpage allows every American to see for themselves the criminal illegal aliens that we...

Trump administration Border Czar Tom Homan said in an interview Monday night on Newsmax that he had asked for the immigration records of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) to be pulled for his review over allegations the Somali refugee married her brother to help him gain residency in the United States. President Donald Trump brought up the allegation against Omar while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office last week. Squad’ congresswoman Ilhan Omar told friends years ago that the man who went on to become her second husband was in fact her brother, DailyMail.com can confirm. And now for the...

Last week, a Catholic church in Massachusetts made headlines with its Nativity display — in which Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus were replaced by an empty manger and an anti-ICE poster. Now, it seems the church’s pastor is refusing to take down the display for the time being, against the wishes of his church authority. St. Susanna, located in the Boston suburb of Dedham, “displayed a Nativity scene outside the church with an empty manger and a sign that says, ‘ICE was here,’” Fox News reported Wednesday. The implication, of course, is that the baby Savior was either apprehended or...

The tires bounced over the barrier wall and struck an OHP unit, creating a serious safety hazard.” The driver hauling the...

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons sent a letter to Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul calling on him to put the safety of Americans first and honor ICE arrest detainers of the more than 4,000 criminal illegal aliens in the state’s custody including murderers, sexual predators, and those convicted of or charged with weapons offenses. Illinois' failure to honor ICE detainers has resulted in the release of 1,768 criminal illegal aliens since January 20. The crimes of these aliens include 5 homicides, 141 assaults, 23 burglaries, 4 robberies, 24 dangerous drugs offenses, 15 weapons offenses, and 10...
