The Senate passed legislation to fund President Trump’s immigration enforcement agencies early Friday morning, after weeks of delays and fierce backlash to an unrelated $1.776 billion settlement fund that threatened to derail the bill. Senators voted 52-47 for the $70 billion legislation to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol for the next three years, through the end of Trump’s term. The final vote came just before 5 a.m., after Republicans narrowly defeated multiple attempts by Democrats and Republicans to add language to the bill that would permanently ban Trump’s settlement fund for political allies who believe they have...

The Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced the arrests of 114 illegal migrants over a three-day operation on South Carolina’s highways I-26 and I-85 last month. The arrests were made during “Operation Safe Drive,” which was conducted in the Palmetto State on May 12, 13, and 14, in cooperation with state and local law enforcement agencies, according to the Columbia Post and Courier. ICE spokesperson Lindsay Williams rated the arrests as both “criminal” and “administrative” but the exact charges and names of the suspects have not yet been released.

Illegal Immigrants and Foreign Fraudsters steal BILLIONS every year from the American Taxpayer. As part of my Administration’s Historic effort to end FRAUD and reverse MASS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, I recently signed a powerful new Executive Order, which will be led by the Treasury Department, to stop Banks, Credit Cards, and Financial Institutions from being used to facilitate Human Smuggling, Drug Trafficking, Illegal Immigration, and the Criminal Cartels who orchestrate these activities. Access to our Nation’s Financial Systems must be limited to those who have a Legal Right to be here, and who are engaged in Lawful and Legitimate Commerce. Bank...

As you are probably aware, in most circumstances and for most categories of handouts, illegal immigrants in the United States do not qualify for welfare benefits. As I’m using it here, the term “welfare” does not include Social Security or Medicare, which are not restricted by income status; but the term “welfare” does include all of the large number of what are called “means-tested” programs, which in the aggregate consume nearly $1 trillion annually of federal spending (and well over $1 trillion if state contributions are included). The biggest of the “means tested” programs are Medicaid, SNAP (“food stamps”), and...

There is shocking news that yet another criminal illegal alien residing in California is accused of murdering three: an infant along with the child’s mother and grandmother in a brutal triple murder. California sanctuary laws defy federal immigration laws by drastically limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities. State and local law enforcement agencies generally do not systematically record or report immigration status for all arrests. Breitbart reports the details: Joaquin Escoto Vazquez, a 28-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, was arrested by the Modesto Police Department and charged with homicide and cruelty towards a child after allegedly murdering an infant, the...

The administration is pitching a supercharged denaturalization effort as yet another way to address border security.

"We are moving at warp speed to ensure fraudsters are...

This video features commentary by Benny Johnson regarding a recent ruling by the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals related to Texas Senate Bill 4 (SB4). The discussion highlights the following key points: The Ruling: The Fifth Circuit court granted Texas an appeal that effectively lifts a temporary injunction, allowing the state to move forward with enforcing SB4 (2:50-3:08).

Students are navigating growing attacks on immigrant communities and higher education while ICE continues to threaten the safety of our neighborhoods, colleges and public schools. That’s why Communities for Our Colleges, a project of the National Campaign for Justice, is kicking off the ICE Out of Our...

A federal judge in New Hampshire on Thursday ruled the state’s 2024 law requiring first-time voters in the state to provide proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote is unconstitutional. The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Samantha Elliott on HB 1569 is being viewed as a strong rebuke of the Republican-backed policy, considered by voting rights advocates to be one of the nation’s most restrictive laws regarding U.S. citizenship and the right to vote. “New Hampshire’s interest in election integrity cannot justify the burden on New Hampshire voters based on the evidence in this case,” said Elliott in...

A survey has found that over seven in ten people in France believe that crime is “out of control”, with fears that the country is sliding towards a “Mexinization” in which public authority is destroyed. According to a poll this week from CSA for Le Journal du Dimanche, 72 percent of French people believe that crime is out of control. This belief is firmest among supporters of the center-right Républicains at 92 percent, followed by 83 percent of National Rally, and 62 percent of supporters of President Emmanuel Macron’s neo-liberal bloc. The sentiment was also held by a majority of...

Between the falling birth rates, chain migration, anchor babies, and the planned demographic changes by our social engineers, non-whites will be the majority by 2050 or sooner if Democrats get back into office. They would open the borders again. There is no reason to think otherwise. If you think they will be nice to white people, you are sadly mistaken. For some reason, Democrats decided white people can’t have their own country. Possibly, it’s because they see them all as future Democrats they can manipulate due to their neediness.

Democrat congressmen made a series of wild statements during a visit to an immigration detention facility in New Jersey where radical leftists have been protesting and rioting for days. Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) turned up at Delaney Hall in Newark on Wednesday to demand entry and speak to aliens being held inside the facility by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Following a tour, the congressmen held a brief press conference, during which Goldman claimed that the Trump administration is trying to “force” illegal aliens to accept voluntary departure by subjecting them to an extremely hostile...

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, citing police, said on social media that [the truck driver] Dong, a native of China, does not speak English. NTSB board member Tom Chapman revealed few new details but said the bus was moving at a high rate of speed. “It seems fairly clear that if there was any braking there wasn’t much, because of the speed and severity of the collision,” Chapman said.
