The House has passed a bill to deport illegal aliens who get caught drunk driving. 160 Democrats voted AGAINST it. ... Democrats approval rating 21% how can that be …

The left-wing Denver city council voted unanimously to shutter its anti-theft auto license plate tracking system because ICE could use the data to deport illegals. In May, the council voted against renewing the $666,000 contract with Flock that was launched about a year ago. The camera system monitors the area around 70 Denver intersections and was set up to screen for car theft. The system, which reportedly scans 2 million cars per month, has already resulted in the recovery of 170 stolen cars and 300 arrests. The camera data has also helped the Denver Police Department (DPD) to investigate hit-and-runs...

n a 6-3 decision, the US Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump Administration to resume deporting illegal aliens to ‘third-party’ countries. This means the Trump Administration’s effort to deport criminal aliens to South Sudan is back on. The Supreme Court granted the Trump Administration’s emergency application and paused Judge Brian Murphy’s order blocking the third-country removals. Liberal Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson dissented. Last month US District Judge Brian Murphy, a Biden appointee, said the Trump Administration violated his court order to provide the aliens with “meaningful” due process since they were being sent to “third-party” countries. ... Judge...

In a shocking display of leftist hypocrisy, a group of activists stopped Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from arresting a known illegal alien child predator in the Denver, Colorado, area, with ICE later confirming on social media that the alien was convicted of and wanted in Italy. For context, in a post on social media on June 21, 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) explained that a group of their agents had been prevented from arresting a dangerous illegal immigrant criminal from El Salvador named Jose Reyes Leon-Deras, when a group of anti-ICE activists arrived on the scene...

A US Attorney for New York was allegedly chased by a knife-wielding illegal immigrant with a lengthy criminal record who threatened to slit his throat on the streets of Albany Tuesday night, prosecutors said. John Sarcone, the Trump-appointed US Attorney for the Northern District of New York, was allegedly chased and threatened outside the Hilton Hotel in Albany by Saul Morales-Garcia — an illegal migrant from El Salvador who was previously deported, WNYT reported, citing Albany County prosecutors. Morales-Garcia, 40, allegedly aggressively advanced toward Sarcone with his weapon in hand — gesturing that he would slit the attorney’s throat as...

Over the past week, left-wing activists have lost it over the fact that President Donald Trump called in the Marines and the National Guard to disperse the violent anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. As White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt noted, over 300 illegal aliens have been arrested in LA since the violent anti-ICE riots began on June 6. Over 100 of these illegal alien criminals had a rap sheet. While Trump and his administration continue to receive backlash for bringing in troops to handle the rioters and illegal aliens, it appears Democrats have forgotten that another leader called in...

White House deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security advisor Stephen Miller has warned that the United States’ Alien Registration Act will now be enforced, and “illegals who fail to register with the government, as required by law, will be criminally prosecuted.” Under the Alien Registration Act, which had not been enforced for 75 years, all non-citizens are required to register with the government, submit their fingerprints, and provide the address where they are residing. Miller confirmed that the law will now be enforced in a post to X, responding to a Politico article titled, “Federal prosecutors now...

As I've noted before, implicit in what we're seeing take place in California from the violent woketivists and their Democrat/media accomplices is that if they keep at it long enough, President Trump is going to get ICE to back down from the immigration sweeps that Democrats like Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass have blamed for the start of the riots.Now, obviously, that's not going to happen, considering the National Guard is already on the ground in Los Angeles at his order, and the Marines are reportedly on their way as well.Nevertheless, the rioters kept proceeding with the...

Democrats favor illegal aliens over Americans, and the more violent they are, the better. There is no illegal Democrats will not defend or donate to. How much money do you think racist groups like La Raza spend on lawyers for violent illegals versus how much do you think they’ve donated to victims of illegal alien crime? I bet they’ve given nothing to help victims; their focus is on creating more of them. As the deportation of people who have no legal right to be here and have not only not contributed anywhere near what they cost our economy – in...

The left threw violent anti-immigration protests in seven different areas of Los Angeles beginning on Friday, and you’ll never guess who paid for it. If you guessed "you," you are right. Not only are taxpayers paying for the initial ICE raids, which netted 44 illegal aliens, but we’re paying for the police, sheriff's deputies, enhanced California Highway Patrol, and the federal response to the violent protests against the ICE raids, too. But that's only the half of it. Most Americans are only too willing to pay for law enforcement, but it turns out that you’re also paying for the L.A....

As the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out raids in Los Angeles, in which 35 Mexicans were reportedly detained, Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said that migrants "are not criminals". She defended the migrants living in America and said, "Mexicans living in the United States are good men and women, honest people who went to the United States to seek a better life for themselves and to support their families. They are not criminals! They are good men and women!" Sheinbaum said in a speech, a news agency AFP report cited. What happened in Los Angeles? Armed and masked...

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is releasing the names and photos of some of the immigrants who were detained in Los Angeles during raids on Saturday. “America’s brave ICE officers are removing the worst of the worst from L.A.’s streets, while L.A.’s leaders are working tirelessly against them,” Homeland Security said on X.

“Under federal law, schools cannot provide benefits to illegal aliens that they do not provide to U.S. citizens.” ... Texas has finally ended what amounts to a decades-long incentive for illegal immigration: taxpayer-funded in-state tuition. For over twenty years, Texas laws required state colleges and universities to offer reduced tuition to aliens, whether they were here legally or not. Late yesterday, those laws abruptly came to an end, only hours after the U.S. Department of Justice sued to block the state from enforcing them. Texas Governor Gregg Abbott announced the parties’ joint consent ... Enacted in 2001, the Texas Dream...

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, in an interview Sunday morning, spoke out forcefully against violence, but also called the federal government’s response “unneccessary.” She called the administration’s actions “posturing” and “completely disruptive to a city that has already gone through so much.” She also condemned violence, saying people who engaged in it or vandalism should be “arrested and held accountable to the full extent of the law.” “The protest that happened last night in L.A. was relatively minor,” she added, and “to say that the city is out of control, I don’t know what city they are talking about.” Demonstrations...

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, aka Maryland Man, has now been extradited to the United States, and is facing a variety of serious charges relating to the smuggling of illegal aliens. And based on what one of his lawyers said—and didn't say—on Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, things aren't looking too keen for Kilmar. Interviewed by co-hosts Eugene Daniels and Jonathan Capehart, lawyer Benjamin Osorio: Admitted that the car Abrego Garcia was driving when he was stopped for speeding by the Tennessee Highway Patrol was owned by a felon who had been convicted of smuggling illegal aliens into the US. [There...

As President Donald Trump’s administration ramps up immigration enforcement in his second term, California Democrats are doubling down on their efforts to shield illegal aliens from federal authorities, even in places where public safety is at stake. This week, the California State Senate passed a series of bills that critics argue would all but handcuff federal immigration agents operating in the state. Democrats are moving to place fresh restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The legislation would ban ICE from making arrests at schools, hospitals, homeless shelters, and domestic violence shelters unless they obtain a judicial warrant — a...

An Illegal immigrant has been found guilty of a DUI crash that resulted in the death of a state trooper. On Tuesday, a Snohomish County jury found Raul Benitez-Santana, 33, guilty of vehicular assault and vehicular homicide — in connection with the death of Washington State Patrol Trooper Christopher Gadd. In March 2024, Gadd, 27, was driving in his cruiser when he was hit by a speeding car going over 100 mph ... Benitez-Santana was under the influence at the time of the crash. He admitted to drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana before jumping in his vehicle. Benitez-Santana had reportedly...

When a judge starts out his opinion with Kafka, you know you're in for a ride.... This case — J.G.G. v. Trump, involving the removal of Tren de Aragua (TdA) members pursuant to the Alien Enemies Act — has already been a ride-and-a-half. There's a new twist to it, as Judge James Boasberg has now issued a new ruling on the case. And, yes, his opinion begins with Kafka: "One morning, Kafka’s Josef K. awakens to encounter two strange men outside his room." [snip] Subsequently, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and refined some of their claims. In Wednesday's order,...

The unidentified 18-year-old, described by his coach as an 'exceptional citizen,' was detained by officers Saturday morning after being pulled over in a car with his teammates. The teen's friend, who wished to remain anonymous, described the moment he watched him get arrested when three undercover vehicles stopped them that morning. 'An ICE officer had stepped out of his vehicle, walked over to us, and knocked on the window,' he told WRPI. 'And they asked him what his documentation was. I didn't see him run a red light or do anything illegal, we were just on our way.' A peaceful...

Illinois’s Democrat governor, J.B. Pritzker, is about to sign a new bill into law that will allow illegal immigrants to become driving instructors. .. A proposal that’s passed both chambers would allow some immigrants to become driving instructors in Illinois. In the state, non U.S. citizens can apply for a special drivers license called a Temporary Visitor Drivers License or TVDL. You might ask, “Where did that TVDL come from?” We’ve had a Democrat-controlled state legislature since 2003, and they currently have supermajorities in both chambers. Except for a single-term RINO governor in 2015–18, we’ve also had 100% Democrat governors...
