Free Republic

SCOOP In an unearthed video, Senator Cornyn’s team forgot to delete a video from YouTube where Cornyn advocates for amnesty for illegal aliens. It would be a shame if every Republican in Texas sees this before the May 26th runoff. No amnesty!

A group of Congolese refugees was seen protesting in Washington, DC, on Monday, calling on the US to increase its involvement in addressing violence in central Africa, despite data showing thousands from the region have already been resettled in the US in recent years. According to reporting from the Daily Caller News Foundation, Congolese Tutsi demonstrators marched near the White House to protest against the governments of Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Activists accused both governments of carrying out anti-Tutsi violence and called on US officials to take stronger action. One protester held a sign that read...

Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the agency overseeing Medicaid and Medicare, announced Tuesday that his agency’s anti-fraud effort will come to every state. During an interview at a Politico-hosted event, Oz said that every U.S. state can expect anti-fraud activities involving funds received through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS).“We are going to announce this week that all 50 states are going to be requested to give us a plan over the next 30 days of how they’re going to re-validate providers in high-risk areas in their states,” Oz said.Oz explained that it would involve proving whether individuals...

An Afghan migrant has become the first person to be convicted of endangering others during a sea crossing to the UK. Tajik Mohammad, 32, had been piloting an overcrowded dinghy across the English Channel in poor weather conditions on 17 January. Some of the passengers were also not wearing life jackets. Appearing at Canterbury Crown Court on Tuesday, he pleaded guilty to breaking the new law, which came into force in January, and will be sentenced on 10 June. Mohammad abandoned the dinghy and its passengers when a rescue ship arrived, the Crown Prosecution Service said. He reached the UK...

A federal appeals court on Tuesday lifted a judge’s order requiring officials to dismantle “Alligator Alcatraz” in response to a lawsuit filed by environmental groups. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit agreed with the Trump administration in a 2-1 vote that there wasn’t enough federal control over the immigration facility’s construction in Florida to trigger a federal environmental review. “Federal officials made no construction decision capable of triggering the Act,” wrote U.S. Circuit Judge William Pryor. Florida constructed the detention facility last year to assist with immigration enforcement. Located at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport in...

A criminal immigrant accused of carrying out a shooting spree in Georgia that killed three people was found dead inside his jail cell. Olaolukitan Adon-Abel, 26, was discovered unresponsive late on Tuesday night in his cell at a DeKalb County jail, according to the sheriff's office. Authorities said life-saving measures were attempted, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of death has not yet been determined and an internal review is underway but officials say they do not currently suspect foul play. The sudden death brings a dramatic turn in a case that had already stunned Georgia...

The UK government has agreed to pay France another £660m to curb the number of asylum seekers travelling across the Channel, including plans to fund a riot squad to “contain and disperse” people trying to board small boats. Under a three-year deal to be signed on Thursday by the home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, 1,100 enforcement, intelligence and military officers – an increase of 40% – will be employed to track down smuggling gangs and people seeking refuge. A 50-strong riot squad will be trained in “crowd-control tactics” and will “stop illegal migrants in their tracks”, according to the Home Office....

At the House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) slammed Republican attacks on sanctuary cities, followed by a response by Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) before he spoke to Angel parents.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled Wednesday that the state of California -- for now -- cannot enforce two state laws that require all law enforcement officials, including federal and immigration agents, to wear visible identification while banning them from wearing facial coverings. The panel granted an injunction requested by the U.S. government, saying the No Vigilantes Act and No Secret Police Act attempt "to directly reregulate the United States." The No Vigilantes Act or SB 805 was signed into law last year to prevent civilian-style or rogue enforcement after immigration agents, without clear identification in...

Since the first days of his second term as president, Donald Trump has been pushing back against a constitutional right he says has been taken advantage of for too long - what he calls "Birthright Citizenship." A new analysis from Pew Research shows, following a 40 percent drop from 2006 to 2016, a rapid rise in the number of births to unauthorized mothers in the United States from 2019 to 2023, which means about 9% of all 3.6 million babies born were to authorized immigrant mothers or those with temporary legal status. (TNND) “It had to do with the babies...

Over one in every four people in Germany, or nearly 22 million, now have an “immigration history”, according to the country’s national statistician. A report from the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) has found that the proportion of people living in Germany with an immigration history rose by 0.5 per cent last year to a record 26.3 per cent. The category is defined as someone who has either immigrated to Germany since 1950 or who has two parents that came to the country as migrants. This is significantly stricter than the previously used category of “migration background”, which is defined in...

The U.S. Supreme Court will begin its final oral arguments sitting of the current term on Monday. The justices will hear several high profile arguments on various issues before the term ends in June. On Wednesday, justices will hear arguments in Blanche v. Lau, a case to determine how immigrants are admitted into the United States. The case focuses on Muk Choi Lau, a Chinese national who became a lawful permanent resident in the United States in 2007. In 2012, Lau was convicted of trademark counterfeiting in New Jersey and fled the country. However, once Lau returned, immigration officers admitted...

A survey in Spain found some 80.5 percent of individuals aged 17–25 reject the socialist government’s mass amnesty plans for half a million illegal migrants, the digital newspaper El Español reported on Sunday. The survey was conducted by the polling and research firm SocioMétrica for El Español between April 15 and 18 — the same week that the socialist government led by Prime Minster Pedro Sánchez began its mass amnesty process to benefit 500,000 illegal migrants in Spain with legal residence and work permits. The Spanish government launched the highly criticized amnesty process despite a fierce rejection from the nation’s...

Nearly half of criminal suspects in violent crimes are foreign nationals in Germany, police statistics have found. According to the annual statistical release from the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), violent crime in Germany fell slightly in 2025, by 2.3 percent compared with the previous year. However, the agency noted that “(n)on-German suspects continue to be significantly overrepresented in violent crime” at 42.9 percent. Data collected from various federal states across the country from the Welt am Sonntag newspaper found similar results, with around one in every two suspects of violent crimes in Bavaria, Berlin, and Baden-Württemberg being foreign nationals,...

A legal maneuver once reserved for death row inmates and suspected terrorists has become the only recourse for immigrant detainees. The petitions for freedom have flooded California’s Eastern District, where the chief judge recently took the unusual step of announcing a “judicial emergency.” Many of the cases involve longtime U.S. residents unexpectedly hauled off to jail after routine immigration check-ins. Federal immigration officials had once again flouted his authority by keeping a man locked up in a California City detention center after Nunley ordered him released. When he was finally set free, the man was booted onto the street with...

A Mexican national illegal alien accused of randomly setting a New York City apartment building on fire that killed four people and injured seven others, could be released back onto the streets as Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials say the city is refusing a request to turn him over to immigration authorities. Roman Ceron Amatitla, 38, of Maspeth, is charged with eight counts of second-degree murder and first-degree arson after allegedly lighting a three-story Flushing building on fire March 16, which he had selected at random. Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said that on the day of the blaze,...

New York sanctuary politicians are determined to release an illegal alien arsonist who killed multiple people in order to stick it to Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Mexican national Roman Amatitla randomly selected an NYC apartment building to set ablaze on March 16. He injured seven people and killed four, including a toddler. Now he faces eight counts of second-degree murder and first-degree arson, according to New York Post. The local authorities ought to be handing the illegal alien over to ICE, but they refuse to do so. Democrats have become so fanatical in their opposition to federal immigration...

Last month, we received a report from a whistleblower who claimed that illegal aliens were staying in San Francisco’s homeless shelters. Following up on the tip, we visited numerous publicly funded shelters in San Francisco, and spoke to employees and residents about their policies, sometimes through a translator. We discovered not only that the shelters were housing illegal immigrants but also that they were apparently housing a population of male-to-female “transgender” illegal aliens, who had hoped to obtain “gender-affirming care.” And, to our shock, state and local governments apparently are providing it.

A Department of Homeland Security employee was shot and stabbed to death while walking her dog in Atlanta on Monday, part of a series of attacks that killed another woman and critically wounded a homeless man. The 26-year-old suspect, a British-born man naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 2022, has a prior criminal record and faces murder charges for attacks across the Atlanta area. Lauren Bullis was remembered by Homeland Security colleagues as warm, kind and compassionate, with a fellow auditor recalling: “You couldn’t meet her and not be her friend.”
