The board meeting of a rural San Diego County school district ended on a surprising note last week, when one member remarked to the room that “from a practical perspective,” the deportation of children without legal status from the area would help the school district combat overcrowding in its classrooms.

In this news video from the San Diego affiliate of NBC News, video shows that after a violent serial criminal named Arturo Gonzalez told Desi Sullivan, the principal of King Chavez High School, that he was running from ICE, the principal violated school policy by unlocking the door, and allowing this violent serial criminal to enter the school while students were inside the school.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wt89ADHwhHUhttps://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/man-runs-into-school-after-ice-encounter/3991377/This tweet from ICE San Diego says that Gonzalez is “a known agitator with a long criminal history including… assault with a deadly weapon… and a 2023 restraining order stemming from a domestic violence arrest.”https://x.com/EROSanDiego/status/2030320342389170539

The Seventh Circuit just delivered a haymaker to Obama-appointee Judge Sara Ellis for her efforts to limit federal enforcement of immigration laws. It accused her of "effectively establish[ing]" herself "as the supervisor of all Executive Branch activity in the city of Chicago."

The Democrats tell us over and over that of course illegal aliens don’t vote in elections, why, that would be outrageous! It'd be like if there was gambling in Rick's Cafe.This, after former President Joe Biden let in tens of millions of “undocumented people,” an unknown number whom are certainly smart enough to figure out how to cheat the system.Meanwhile, leftists oppose the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE) with everything they’ve got, even resorting to race-baiting (“Jim Crow 2.0”) and misogyny (women are evidently too stupid to figure out how to get a legit ID in order to vote,...

🚨🚨BREAKING!!! Busloads of Somali citizens being deported back to their dirt lots and their home countries specifically from the state of Minnesota. Some reports of over 2000 already have been deported with estimates upward of 5000 to be deported before April. Somali citizens who come to America tend to forget where they came from. A lot of Americans feel that Somalis Do not appreciate this country and actively work to hurt it. This perception would become visible after YouTuber turned actual journalist, Nick Shirley discovered massive taxpayer fraud being conducted by the Somali community out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Most Americans...

The California Department of Motor Vehicles said Friday that the federal government is requiring them to cancel the commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) of thousands of immigrant truck drivers in the state. According to a release from the California DMV, approximately 13,000 non-domiciled CDLs are being revoked. DMV said non-domiciled people are "those who do not have citizenship or lawful permanent resident status, and includes holders of various visas, refugees, and asylees." DMV said the not all non-domiciled CDL drivers will be effected by the government's decision and drivers affected should have already received a cancellation notice. Last year, the DMV...

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that federal appeals courts must follow a deferential standard of review to the Board of Immigration Appeals’ determination that asylum seekers did not experience the level of persecution necessary to qualify for asylum protections. Writing for a unanimous court, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said that appeals courts can only diverge from the judgment of the Board of Immigration Appeals when the evidence presented was “so compelling that no reasonable factfinder could fail to find the requisite fear of persecution.” In doing so, she upheld a decision by the First Circuit Court of Appeals and...

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement@ICEgov·20h.@RepBeccaB if you’re going to repeat the unhinged rantings of an activist judge, at least get your facts right.Director Lyons never even testified in the case you’re quoting from.Not only that, but the illegal alien you’re grandstanding over? She’s a Turkish national who got her student visa revoked for supporting the antisemitic Boycott, Divest, and Sanction movement.Visas provided to foreign students to live, study and work in the U.S. are a privilege, not a right — no matter what this or any other activist judge says.When you advocate for violence, glorify terrorists that kill Americans and...

March 5 (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Thursday ruled that President Donald Trump had the authority to indefinitely suspend admissions of foreign citizens seeking to enter the United States ​under the U.S. refugee resettlement program.

A Chicago federal appeals court on Thursday vacated a lower court’s injunction placing use-of-force restrictions on immigration agents during Operation Midway Blitz, calling it “constitutionally suspect” and questioning the manner in which the district judge dismissed the underlying suit. The three-judge panel of the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals was split 2-1, with Chief Judge Michael Brennan and Judge Michael Scudder in the majority and Judge Frank Easterbrook dissenting. The ending of the Trump administration’s appeal was a foregone conclusion after U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis in January granted a motion by the plaintiffs to dismiss the underlying lawsuit....

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) told Angel Families who were present in the audience that he was “sorry,” but that Americans are more likely to be murdered by fellow Americans than illegal aliens. “For the folks that are here and your families, I’m sorry. It’s terrible what happened to your children and family members, but they are more likely, American citizens are more likely to be attacked by United States citizens who are not undocumented who came here and who were born here,” Cohen told Angel Families. “[Americans] are more likely to commit...

It’s no secret that Iranian terrorists are here in the U.S. Democrats’ open border policies made their infiltration much easier. U.S. counterterrorism agencies are on high alert for potential retaliation after the American government joined Israel in launching a coordinated operation named Epic Fury against Iran over the weekend. Already, at least two Americans have died and more than a dozen have been injured after a 53-year-old gunman, reportedly clothed in an Iranian flag T-shirt and “Property of Allah” sweatshirt, opened fire at an Austin bar one day after the strikes commenced. While it’s unclear if this alleged terrorism...

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., lashed out at Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Monday, calling her leadership of the agency a “disaster.” “We’re an exceptional nation. And one of the reasons we’re exceptional is we expect exceptional leadership. And you have demonstrated anything but that,” said TIllis, who has previously called on Noem to resign. He struck out at Noem for her handling of disaster response and the immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota, among other things. “What we’ve seen is innocent people getting detained that turned out are American citizens,” Tillis said in a roughly 10-minute diatribe that included references...

Democrats were outraged that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents wore masks while arresting illegal alien criminals inside the U.S. and, as a result, slashed the budget for the entire Department of Homeland Security. This government shutdown continues today, even as threats against the United States grow. It persists as Democrats’ President Autopen’s open-border policies allowed all manner of jihadists, weirdos, pedophiles, and even innocent child slaves to vanish within what are now hardened U.S. borders. And now, the attack on Iran has intensified the risk of an attack on America's homeland. Let's take a moment to appreciate this irony...

More than 20,000 immigrant truck drivers will be able to keep their licenses in California, at least temporarily, despite efforts by the Trump administration and the state of California to revoke them, according to a tentative ruling Wednesday in Alameda County Superior Court. The decision puts the state of California in a bind. The U.S. Department of Transportation already has repeatedly pushed the California Department of Motor Vehicles to rescind these licenses, which belong to many asylum seekers and other immigrants with temporary legal status, after the federal government found alleged clerical issues regarding the expiration dates on their licenses....

f there had been any confusion over what Democrats believe or whom the Democrat Party supports, this week has been clarifying. Susan Rice — the serial liar who falsely blamed the September 11, 2012, murder of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, on an Internet video; weaponized Intelligence Community surveillance by illegally unmasking the names of Trump transition officials in 2016; and pushed the Russia Collusion Hoax for the last decade — went on a podcast to promise retribution for any American seen as bending the “knee to Trump.” The woman who ran Joe Biden’s White House explicitly promised that “this...

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn has been one of the most consistent Republican defenders of the EB-5 investor visa program over the past several years — advocating for its reauthorization, intervening in its implementation, and signaling support for preserving it even amid President Donald Trump’s proposed “Gold Card” alternative. During much of that same period, Cornyn’s daughter, Haley Cornyn, worked at Greenberg Traurig, a global law and lobbying firm that has structured billions of dollars in EB-5 investment deals and lobbied on matters related to the program. The overlap between Cornyn’s legislative advocacy and the financial interests of his daughter’s employer...

Two alleged members of the Venezuelan-linked gang Tren De Aragua (TdA) were charged in an ATM jackpotting conspiracy that included robberies and attempted robberies across New England, according to federal prosecutors. Moises Alejandro Martinez Gutierrz and Lestter Guerrero, both 29, have been charged with conspiracy to commit bank theft, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts said in a news release. Officials said both men are in the U.S. illegally. The duo is accused of robberies and attempted robberies at ATMs in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island. They allegedly installed malware directly into the ATM's...

“Nobody knows nothin’.”—Jack BogleThe legendary Jack Bogle was referring to the financial market, but his sentiment also applies to crime statistics: Nobody really knows the actual crime rate — or who’s committing the crimes.For about 10 years, I did PR for a fintech company that specialized in cybersecurity. You’d think online crimes would be the easiest to verify, but most of the crime stats were manufactured: We’d extrapolate data from Category A and project it to Category B.They were almost always statistical projections.Look, if we can’t accurately quantify crime stats in a closed ecosystem like cybersecurity, we don’t have a...

A proposed Department of Housing and Urban Development rule would crack down on illegal immigrants or unqualified people living in public housing, closing a loophole established amid major departmental reforms under President Bill Clinton in 1996. Current HUD rules allow "mixed-status" households to use public housing under what is called the "do not contend" provision, in which a person living among a public housing family can declare they "do not contend" their HUD eligibility under their immigration status, and the family instead receives prorated housing assistance. The HUD-ineligible family member or members may remain in public housing so long as...
