The Department of Homeland Security has blasted California’s sanctuary policies, claiming the state released nearly 24,000 undocumented immigrants from jail since January 2025 rather than handing them over to ICE. DHS said the cases involved more than 81,000 criminal charges or convictions, including 169 homicides, 147 sexual assaults, 1,097 assaults and 3,295 burglaries. “Governor Gavin Newsom and his cronies in California have turned the Golden State into a hotbed of illegal alien crime,” said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. He added that sanctuary politicians have not only refused to cooperate with law enforcement and “released murderers, child abusers, kidnappers, and gang...

A terrified teenage girl was seen making a desperate dash for freedom after allegedly being kidnapped and brutally stabbed inside a Baltimore basement. The newly released surveillance footage captures the 15-year-old fleeing a property on Garrison Boulevard at 8.52pm on October 22, just 43 minutes after arriving with her alleged attacker, who is an illegal immigrant released into the US under Biden. The girl had been taken to the property by Abubakarr Barrie, 23, who is accused of stabbing her repeatedly during a horrific ordeal that left her with a collapsed lung.

The man arrested for allegedly using a sledgehammer to behead a Marine figure on an Iwo Jima monument near Quantico, Virginia, is a Mexican illegal alien and former Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient who lost his status this year, federal sources told Fox News. Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano, 27, was charged with felony destruction of property, trespass with intent to damage property and felony injury to a monument.

The illegal migrant shot by federal ICE agents in a chaotic Bronx showdown terrorized his former neighbors with a machete—and a terrified resident said Saturday he’s relieved the violent gangbanger has finally been taken off the streets. Dominican Republic-native Oscar Belgal, 28, who authorities said has ties to the bloodthirsty Trinitarios street gang, wreaked havoc at the Washington Heights apartment building where he lived until about a year ago, according to a one-time neighbor. “He’s a menace to society,” the shaken resident said of Belgal — whom Mayor Mamdani outrageously called a “New Yorker” whose release he tried to negotiate...

Viewer video allegedly shows ICE agents entering a Meriden courthouse on Wednesday to make an arrest. A Connecticut law passed in November 2025 says ICE agents can no longer arrest people in public areas of state courthouses without a warrant or signed order. The video also shows the agents wearing face coverings, which violates state law, and judicial marshals assisting them as they ordered advocates and community members out of the courthouse. It later captured a man in handcuffs being escorted away from the area. ... “It is just baffling. We are not going to stand for it. We are...

As the Trump administration steps up immigration enforcement actions, some Democrat-run localities are now simply giving cash payments to illegal aliens and their families – all funded by American taxpayers. This shocking new development has become just the latest example of liberal politicians putting illegal aliens who have no right to be in the country ahead of American citizens. In the most recent example, during a special September 2 meeting, the Arlington County Board in Arlington, Virginia, voted 4-0 to set aside $50,000 in taxpayer funds for families in which the primary wage earner has been detained by Immigration and...

The vast majority of Americans of every race, sex and political orientation support voter ID. It’s the most common sense and no brainer idea ever. And yet, Democrats oppose it because they claim that illegal voting isn’t a problem and voter ID will just ‘disenfranchise’ legal voters who can manage to get an ID when it comes to buying cough syrup, going on a plane, driving a car or entering a government building… but not for voting. But the thing that never happens just keeps right on happening. The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced charges against 16 people in multiple...

Omaha, NE — More than a decade after Sarah Root was killed in a drunk-driving crash, her family says they finally have the justice they fought for. Root was 21 when she was killed in Omaha in January 2016. She had recently graduated from Bellevue University with a 4.0 GPA and planned to pursue a master’s degree in criminal investigations. Eswin Mejia was driving drunk and at a high rate of speed when he hit Root’s vehicle. He was released on a $5,000 bond and later fled to Honduras. After nearly a decade, Mejia was tracked down, brought back to...

A 27-year-old man previously arrested for the kidnapping of a six-year-old child in New Jersey is now facing additional sexual assault charges following further investigation. ---SNIP--- The Department of Homeland Security confirmed to FOX News that Perez-Amador was living in the U.S. illegally, arrested in a DUI case and taken into ICE custody to face deportation in March 2024.

Migrant crime is a “fake problem,” says Connecticut Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy, a pro-migration leader in the Democrat Party. Murphy told a friendly audience in Connecticut on August 26: Nobody likes to hear this, but immigrants — first-generation immigrants — and undocumented immigrants both commit crimes at rates lower than natural-born Americans, than people that are born here in this country. So, if you want to live in a safe community, you are actually better off living in a community with people that just got to the United States of America. Migrants “can in fact lower the crime rate, but...

A Reston woman was found fatally stabbed in a parking lot near trails in the Great Falls area Monday morning (Aug. 17), Fairfax County police say. Officers responded at around 7 a.m. to the 8800 block of Georgetown Pike after a community member in the area for a morning run reported seeing a woman “lying unconscious outside her vehicle,” according to Fairfax County Police Department Capt. Jason Chandler, commander of the public affairs bureau. “When officers arrived, they noticed she had trauma to her upper body,” Chandler said. “She was pronounced deceased at the scene.” The FCPD initially publicized the...

An illegal migrant who was pardoned by Minnesota's Democratic governor for the rape of a ten-year-old girl in an apparent bid to allow him to remain in the country has been deported. Laotian pedophile Tou Lue Vang was photographed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) being escorted onto a plane by two agents Friday afternoon. DHS ripped Walz for trying to keep Vang in the country before explaining their efforts to deport him. 'ICE has DEPORTED Tou Vang, the illegal alien CHILD RAPIST @GovTimWalz pardoned in an attempt to allow him to remain in our country,' they said in...

A truck driver with no legal right to be in the country, let alone behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler, killed Pennsylvania State Trooper Michael E. Pahira Jr. Wednesday morning while he was doing his job. Pahira, 44, had served with the Pennsylvania State Police since 2007, most recently as a motor carrier enforcement inspector. He was inspecting a semi-truck on Interstate 81 in Schuylkill County when another truck ran off the road, slammed into his patrol car and the vehicle he was checking, then struck him directly. Both trucks erupted in flames. Pahira died at a local hospital a...

Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin told Breitbart News exclusively that deportation numbers in 2026 will very soon outpace all of 2025, and that agents from across the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are removing illegal aliens from the United States interior at record rates. As for how DHS is accomplishing this, Mullin said it is by focusing on those who have criminal records or final orders of deportation from judges — and oftentimes, he said, the federal agents will find several other illegal aliens being harbored in the same homes and they arrest them and deport them too. One...

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. [The Tragic Result] A family of four from Massachusetts who were killed when a bus crashed into multiple vehicles in Virginia were traveling to a wedding with a carload of homemade desserts...

A Biden-appointed federal judge in Rhode Island has ordered the release of a Dominican illegal alien who is the subject of an Interpol Red Notice for murder in his home country. The criminal illegal alien, Bryan Rafael Gomez, was arrested by ICE Boston in Worcester, Massachusetts on April 4th. He had just been picked up locally for domestic abuse when a background check revealed Dominican authorities issued a criminal arrest warrant against him for homicide in 2023. He is also the subject of an active Interpol Red Notice, an international arrest warrant for murder. Gomez was detained at an ICE...

Congress mandated in 2021 that all new cars include "advanced impaired driving prevention technology" by 2027. The tech includes infrared cameras that track your eyes, pupil dilation, and driving behavior. NHTSA missed its deadline to finalize rules because no current system meets the required 99.9% accuracy—even that level would strand tens of millions of sober drivers per year. NHTSA admitted in March 2026 that no system meets the legal requirement for reliable operation. The agency stated current detection technology shows "unacceptable error rates," particularly around legal alcohol limits. Here's the math that stopped NHTSA cold: Americans drive about 3 trillion...

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,...
