RALEIGH, N.C. — The North Carolina House voted 72–48 on Tuesday to override Governor Josh Stein’s veto of House Bill 318, officially enacting the Criminal Illegal Alien Enforcement Act. The controversial legislation mandates that sheriffs notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) within two hours when releasing an inmate subject to an immigration detainer and requires a 48-hour hold for federal pickup. They also considered several other bills. Republicans enacted a total of eight bills that Stein had vetoed. With each of those bills passed, support was secured from at least one Democrat in the House to meet the required...

Donald Trump won the 2024 election with a mandate on illegal immigration. He promised to shut down the previous administration's border crisis and to oversee mass deportations that target millions of new unlawful arrivals. He has largely achieved the first part of that pledge, with illegal crossings absolutely plummeting to a mere trickle. Border Patrol agents now have so few illegal immigrants to interdict that some of them have been detailed to assist with interior enforcement actions many miles from the border. The newly-signed 'Big Beautiful Law' contains enforcement resources and provisions that will help entrench this progress in a...

Despite Trump administration rhetoric accusing Democrats of protecting violent criminals and drug-dealing immigrants, the administration’s arrests have been catching a smaller share of criminals overall, and a smaller share of people convicted of violent and drug crimes, than the Biden administration did in the same time frame. While the Trump administration has caught more immigrants with convictions for drugs and violence, their share of the rising arrest numbers is smaller, as more people get swept up for minor traffic violations or strictly immigration crimes, according to a Stateline analysis. Forty percent of the nearly 112,000 arrests by U.S. Immigration and...

Tattoos were considered a sign of “otherness” in ancient Greece, as it was either foreigners or slaves, criminals, and captives who had tattoos in ancient Greek society. Body modification, such as tattoos and piercings, has been common throughout human societies across the world since Neolithic times. Humans have felt the urge to modify their bodies with tattoos for various cultural, religious, and aesthetic reasons for centuries. While tattooing developed independently across numerous cultures, Greeks were among the first people to begin inking their skin, as historical records date ancient Greek tattooing to as early as the 5th century BC. Tattooing...

Crime doesn’t pay — so try politics instead. The Democrat running to be Nassau County’s top prosecutor encouraged convicted criminals to apply for a job on her campaign that could pay them up to $7,000 a month.

The call for ex-cons to apply for a job sticks out like a...

Criminals wound up working as officers for the New York City Police Department after the commander overseeing recruitment ignored their checkered past, according to court filings.

The recruits were allowed in despite failing psychological tests and background checks and in multiple cases, criminal records, according to the document. One aspiring officer was even found to have three arrests to their name, but was recruited anyway, the filing states. Offenses included everything from drug...

Last week, former President Biden's physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor refused to answer questions regarding his patient's fitness to carry out the duties required of the presidency. Earlier this week, Anthony Bernal, senior advisor to First Lady Jill Biden, refused to answer questions on the same subject. On Friday, Annie Tomasini, deputy chief of staff to Biden, refused to answer questions on the same subject. All three of them invoked their 5th Amendment right against self incrimination.

t was as predictable as the sun’s rising in the east. After Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) bagged two dozen illegal-alien, Asian sex criminals in Minnesota, the Minnesota Star Tribune sided with the criminals. All that sex abuse by the soon-to-be-deported Laotians and Hmong, the newspaper reported, was just a “cultural misunderstanding” because they often marry young back home. Not so, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported. Truth is, they are dangerous sex criminals.Newspaper StoryThe Star Tribune’s tale of woe begins predictably:Two dozen Hmong men who have lived in Minnesota for decades are being held in Minnesota and Iowa...

The Democrat (they're not democratic) party has sometimes been called “a criminal enterprise”. Baltimore native Isaiah L. Carter was once a conservative, but became a leftist over time. Last February he accused the Democrat party of “deception, corruption and political manipulation.” He wrote, This f***ing political party, the Democratic Party, have lied to us about everything. They’ve lied about being the party of the middle class. They’ve lied about being the party of peace. They’ve lied about being the party that wants to help poor people. [snip] This is a cadre of criminals and losers and spoiled children of affluent...
