Justice Department charges Alejandro Orellana with conspiracy to aid and abet civil disorders after delivering face shields A man who went viral after he was captured on live TV allegedly dropping off a pickup truck full of face shields for protesters to use amid demonstrations and riots in Los Angeles last month was indicted Wednesday. Federal prosecutors said Orellana met up with other people on June 9 to load up his Ford F-150 pickup truck with Uvex brand Bionic Face Shields, masks, water bottles and other items as anti-ICE protests raged in Los Angeles.

It was a surprising statement from Attorney General Pam Bondi as the Trump administration promises to release more files from its sex trafficking investigation of Jeffrey Epstein: The FBI, she said, was reviewing “tens of thousands of videos” of the wealthy financier “with children or child porn.” The comment, made to reporters at the White House days after a similar remark to a stranger with a hidden camera, raised the stakes for President Donald Trump’s administration to prove it has in its possession previously unseen compelling evidence. That task is all the more pressing after an earlier document dump that...

Donald Trump is ramping up his war against liberal 'sanctuary city' Los Angeles with a new major lawsuit. The Justice Department, led by Trump appointee Pam Bondi, sued the city on Monday following weeks of anti-ICE riots and destruction. The lawsuit argues that LA's policies attempting to 'deliberately' thwart the work of immigration agents violate federal law.'Sanctuary policies were the driving cause of the violence, chaos, and attacks on law enforcement that Americans recently witnessed in Los Angeles,' Bondi said in a statement to the Daily Mail. 'Jurisdictions like Los Angeles that flout federal law by prioritizing illegal aliens over...

The walls are finally closing in on one of the Left’s dirtiest operations, and it’s about time. ActBlue, the Dem Party’s prized fundraising platform, is now officially facing serious heat after years of allegations about shady donations, money laundering, and foreign interference. Top executives have now been subpoenaed by Congress. There’s nowhere left to run. It appears that massive amounts of taxpayer money have been funneled through USAID and Dem-aligned NGOs. The money is missing, and allegations are that Biden’s Treasury Department was trying to cover it all up. It’s a really scary notion: the artery of the Dem fundraising...

JUST IN - U.S. Homeland Security and Justice Department seek to prosecute CNN for promoting ICEBlock app, says DHS Secretary Noem.

The brother-in-law of Vice President Kamala Harris appears to have engineered the greatest transfer of taxpayer dollars to left-wing groups in the history of the United States. Tony West, who is the husband of Harris’ sister Maya, served as the head of the Justice Department’s Civil Division and awarded massive settlements to groups aligned with the Democrats, even when the Department of Justice appeared to be winning the cases, The New York Post reported. “Until 1977, Congress had to approve any settlement of a civil suit against the Federal government over $100,000,” The Post reported. But facing numerous cases the...

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) has formally called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate and revoke the U.S. citizenship of radical socialist and NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, citing credible concerns that he may have obtained citizenship under false pretenses — including sympathies for convicted terrorists. “Zohran ‘little muhammad’ Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York,” Rep. Ogles wrote on X. “He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings.” According to the letter sent by Ogles to the Department of Justice,...

BREAKING: A Federal Magistrate judge just DENIED a motion to keep Kilmar Abrego Garcia in custody for human trafficking charges, pending trial.

Judicial Watch has sued the FBI under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to unseal records from meetings between Twitter executives and the Biden FBI to censor the American people. The lawsuit was filed in 2023 after the FBI ignored a FOIA request for the records of meetings between June 2020 and December 2022. For some reason, Trump’s DOJ is still fighting against Biden’s censorship efforts, which specifically targeted conservatives, including The Gateway Pundit’s reporting on election fraud, being exposed. FRUSTRATING: So @JudicialWatch has to go to Federal court this morning to fight with @AGPamBondi DOJ and @FBIDirectorKash FBI for...

You almost wish Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem would make congressional Democrats write it 100 times on the Capitol Hill blackboard: "Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities are not for photo opportunities." However, she has issued guidance that works just as well: On Wednesday, the DHS released new restrictions that bar lawmakers from turning ICE facility visits into spectacles, including advance notice of the visit and limits on the detainees they can meet with individually. The new regulations, Just the News reported, came after a clash at Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey last month, which led to...

FBI Director Kash Patel dropped a bombshell Monday evening, handing Congress an intelligence report that raises serious questions about China’s role in the 2020 election. According to the report, Chinese operatives mass-produced counterfeit U.S. driver’s licenses as part of a broader scheme to flood the system with fake mail-in ballots—benefiting… you guessed it… Joe Biden. This wasn’t just foreign meddling—it was industrial-scale fraud, enabled by a broken mail-in voting system the Democrats have long been exploiting. The report confirms what many of us suspected all along: the integrity of the 2020 election wasn’t just compromised—it was hijacked. According to officials...

FBI Director Kash Patel announced on Monday that the FBI has located documents that detail alarming allegations related to the 2020 U.S. election, including allegations of interference by the CCP. According to Kash, the communist Chinese were involved in a plot to create thousands of fake mail-in ballots in 2020 using fake voter registrations. And, it should be clear that China was not creating fake ballots to assist Donald Trump. The Chi-Coms detested Trump and what he had done to their economy. Trump was the only US president in decades to take on the Chinese Communist Party. Kash tweeted out...

DOGE has referred 57 cases of potential voter fraud to the U.S. Justice Department ... Antonio Gracias noted that the individuals were "resident aliens who were registered to vote ... Musk, the hard-charging business tycoon who has been spearheading the DOGE initiative, has indicated that he plans to spend less time on the effort going forward. "Not stepping down, just reducing time allocation now that @DOGE is established ... "The federal government is a gigantic beast — very complicated — and so if you’re trying to figure out how to stop waste and fraud, you’ve got to map the territory,"...

31 NGOs behind 1,000+ protests this Saturday have been exposed by @DataRepublican —and the FBI is now investigating “any and all monetary connections responsible for these riots.”.. This isn’t grassroots. It’s Color Revolution 2.0—a coordinated, funded insurrection backed by shadowy donors. According to @DataRepublican , the “No Kings” rally is tied to 31 left-wing NGOs, including the ACLU Foundation, Black Voters Matter Fund, and Color of Change. Follow the grant money and you’ll find the usual suspects: Open Society, Schwab Charitable, and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. Some groups openly push Marxist ideology. Others were caught handing out riot gear used in...

As the riots raged this week in Los Angeles, four things became clear: L.A.’s leaders are feckless; foreign money is behind the rioters; protesters are expressing a soup of different grievances; and all this may happen elsewhere. As with the BLM riots in 2020, the L.A. disturbances are not spontaneous or chaotic. They have been planned, supported, and even staffed by activist organizations whose goals have nothing to do with immigration law or the plight of day laborers lingering in Home Depot parking lots. On the most recent episode of The Drill Down, co-hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers break...

President Trump suggested Biden’s Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco was one of the autopen operators. Trump made the remarks on Tuesday during an Oval Office briefing on wildfires. A reporter asked President Trump if people should see similar ICE operations in the rest of the country after the feds conducted immigration raids in Los Angeles. President Trump said more ICE raids will take place across the country and slammed the Biden Regime for facilitating the invasion of illegal aliens. Trump said Joe Biden’s autopen – and whoever operated the autopen… like Lisa Monaco – facilitated the invasion. Recall that Lisa...

The communist behind the “organic” riots in Los Angeles and across the country are being funded by Neville Singham, according to DataRepublican and Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna. Neville Singham is the man funding these riots. It’s not about illegal Hispanics. They’re just using them for propaganda. They are actual Communists. TY @DataRepublican for the deep dive. https://t.co/dSKSaVVjtg pic.twitter.com/ulNoRkPXWl — Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) June 9, 2025 It’s a very long thread, but it’s definitely worth the read. Here’s how it starts… Hundreds took to the streets this weekend: blocking roads, attacking federal officers, even burning flags. But this wasn’t...

FBI Director Kash Patel said the Bureau is investigating the source of funding that is fueling the riots in Los Angeles, California. Sections of Los Angeles have seen rioters engaging in property damage, looting stores, clashing with law enforcement authorities, and vandalizing police vehicles. The riots are a response to a series of raids Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out in the area last week. However, many view the unrest as a statement against the Trump administration’s mass deportations of illegal immigrants. In a statement to Just the News, Patel confirmed that the FBI “is investigating any and all...

Attorney General Pam Bondi announces breaking news in the search for a wanted man on 'Hannity.'

One of the groups leading anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles is a taxpayer-funded activist organization with ties to the Democratic Party, while another has links to the Chinese Communist Party. The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) — which received tens of millions of dollars in government grants during the Biden administration — staged a rally last week to denounce Immigration and Customs Enforcement arresting illegal migrants across the city, including those convicted of heinous crimes. Protests against ICE escalated since then, with more than 1,000 rioters taking to the streets, assaulting immigration officers, slashing tires and defacing public buildings,...
