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.

President Donald Trump called for U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar to immediately resign from Congress on Thursday after a federal court filing allegedly identified the Minnesota Democrat as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.” Speaking at a rally in Iowa, Trump seized on the allegation while discussing Omar and longstanding allegations surrounding her former marriage. “It was just revealed just a little while ago that ... her name is not Ilhan Omar, the one that she used to get elected and sworn into Congress,” Trump said. “She used a fake name to be sworn in. I assume she must...

WASHINGTON — The search warrant on “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar hasn’t necessarily been “fully” completed, court documents in a legal fight between the feds and the media indicated. At dawn on Oct. 12, the feds executed a search warrant and raided Omar’s (D-Minn.) DC home as part of a probe into her immigration status in a stunning move less than a month out from the Nov. 3 election. To justify keeping the details of the records for the warrant under wraps from numerous media outlets, US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro cited concerns that it wasn’t fully completed. “[G]ood cause...

Not one lawmaker could answer ‘how does a state government provide a document to drive legally, if the person came here illegally?’ California’s long-term shift from a competitive or Republican-leaning state to a Democratic stronghold has been driven primarily by demographic change through immigration. In 2018, more than one million illegal immigrants received driver’s licenses from the California DMV, which automatically registered them to vote under the new “Motor Voter” program. Alex Padilla was California Secretary of State. Back in 2015, Padilla told the Los Angeles Times, “At the latest, for the 2018 election cycle, I expect millions of new...

The “real” name of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has been revealed in a federal court filing with an identical surname to that of her ex-husband — and rumored brother, The Post has learned. Prosecutors referred to the Minnesota Democrat as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar,” in a Wednesday filing in DC federal court, which officials and legal experts said was indicative of the evidence compiled so far in an immigration fraud investigation into the “Squad” rep. A source familiar with the investigation confirmed that Omar is not the congresswoman’s “real” last name, which was first reported by...

Democrats are up in arms after a so-called polling firm that projected far-left candidates as strong contenders in several primaries admitted that it had fabricated its polling data.Wedgewood Polling, which billed itself as an election survey company, released a statement Tuesday night admitting it used "fabricated numbers" for an "experimental project to demonstrate the vulnerabilities, lack of oversight, and overall low barrier to entry in the modern political polling industry."The group's polls were cited by Abdul El-Sayed's campaign amid a high-profile primary race against Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow and U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich. The nonpartisan polling aggregator Political...

Vice President JD Vance took questions from reporters on Wednesday and was asked about Vivek Ramaswamy’s highly controversial attack ad against Democrat Amy Acton, which has roiled the already nasty Ohio governor’s race. “Vice President, Daniel Bush with the BBC. Thank you. You mentioned after this you’re going to a campaign event. Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent’s mother. Republicans, some are backing away from that. Do you think that that ad was appropriate?” Vance was asked during an Ohio press conference. “Well, I’ll be honest with you, whether the ad was appropriate or not...

The Biden administration wasn't just trying to police COVID posts. It wanted broader control over health information, and newly released internal documents show former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy's office was actively strategizing how to make it happen. The documents Protect the Public's Trust obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) date back to 2021, when the Biden administration was already pushing Facebook and other technology companies to remove content it labeled misinformation. One exchange from May 2021 is particularly revealing. Murthy's policy adviser, Daniel Tartakovsky, suggested that the administration's efforts should reach considerably further than COVID. "May be worth...

EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Ilhan Omar's older sister was questioned by federal investigators last week in relation to an immigration fraud probe into the congresswoman, Fox News Digital has learned. Three sources familiar with the investigation said Sahra Noor voluntarily spoke with the investigators after the high-profile Monday morning raid on the residence Omar shares with her husband in Washington, D.C. It is not clear the scope of the conversation Noor had with investigators. Like Omar, Noor came to the United States as a child fleeing the civil war in Somalia. She currently lives in Kenya, according to her LinkedIn page, but...

Abdul El-Sayed is being slammed over a resurfaced Columbia University research paper he authored with a “racist and eugenics outcome” that concluded Arab women should only breed with their own kind for optimal health outcomes. El-Sayed — who has repeatedly called himself a physician though he never completed his medical school residency — warned in the 2011 paper published in the “Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health” of the hazards of “interethnic mating” — which he insisted increased the risk of children being born premature. “Our findings suggest that interethnic mating may be associated with increased risk for adverse birth...

Look who is talkin'! El-Sayed’s hypocrisy is hard to ignore: after accusing Haley Stevens of dual loyalty over her support for Israel, and bashing AIPAC, he suddenly (Oct/2026) becomes defensive when asked about his own views on the Muslim Brotherhood. If he believes politicians should be held accountable for their affiliations, loyalties, and political connections, that standard must apply equally to everyone—including himself. You cannot demand transparency and accountability from others while treating legitimate questions about yourself as off-limits. That is not principled scrutiny; it is a double standard. Typical el Sayed. But it's far worse, because the Muslim Brotherhood...

Tulare County voters are currently part of a closely watched race for District 22 between Randy Villegas and David Valadao. VISALIA, Calif. -- Nearly 7,800 Tulare County voters received duplicate vote-by-mail ballots after a vendor error during the ballot replacement process, according to county election officials. The Tulare County Registrar of Voters became aware of the issue Tuesday. In total, 7,791 voters received duplicate ballots out of more than 227,000 registered voters in the county.

Amid the controversy currently surrounding Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s immigration status, attention is also being paid to an older controversy from 2020 regarding her 2020 Democratic primary battle. Roughly two years into the Democratic lawmaker’s congressional career, she was challenged by attorney and mediator Antone Melton-Meaux, a well-funded opponent. But according to an investigation, there was a problem. Project Veritas, then run by James O’Keefe — currently head of the O’Keefe Media Group — alleged in September 2020 that a cash-for-ballots and ballot harvesting operation was being carried out in Minneapolis.

When a skunk like this starts whining like this, WE know our side is over the target with bombs at the ready. He's reassuring us that this time there will be no boarding up windows and 3 AM fake ballot drops. READ AND ENJOY!!! Friday on CNN’s “OutFront,” former White House lawyer Ty Cobb said at President Donald Trump’s direction, the Department of Justice is attacking “the election mechanisms on every front.” Cobb said, “If people have been listening, frankly, it’s been out there in black and white for two years. On his very first day, you know, Trump issued...

Thieves swiped voters’ mail-in ballots from a post office in the Bay Area, sparking fears of election fraud after another theft of ballots last week. The San Mateo County Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder’s Office said in a Thursday press release that it was notified that the election forms were recently stolen from a US Postal Service Office in Daly City, including mail-in ballots from San Mateo County voters. The county, located just south of San Francisco, and the US Postal Service are actively investigating the theft. It’s unclear how many ballots were stolen, the county said. The county’s election division encouraged voters...

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has repeatedly described himself as a "physician" on the campaign trail and in public biographies, despite records showing he has never held a medical license in Michigan or New York. Much of El-Sayed’s campaign has focused on his medical credentials, particularly his purported experience as a physician. While El-Sayed does have a medical degree, public records in New York and Michigan examined by Politico indicate that he’s never held a license to practice medicine. New York state law prohibits individuals who lack medical licenses from identifying themselves as "physicians," a title El-Sayed claimed on...

Only two years ago, the idea that some Americans were being “debanked,” or cut off from financial institutions after being deemed politically incorrect, extreme, or dangerous, was often dismissed as a conspiracy or an accident. But federal regulators announced on Wednesday that they had reached a very different conclusion: Debanking really did happen. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) said that nine of the nation’s largest banks, as measured by assets, had policies in place between 2020 and 2025 that may have influenced their decisions to “deny or limit access to financial services” to customers or potential...

The Talarico campaign's handling of its candidate's nearly two-week disappearance from the trail has raised plenty of questions, and I don't expect the left to ever admit where those questions lead. Texas State Rep. James Talarico (D-50th District) blamed the flu for his absence, and that cover story has plenty of problems. After nearly two weeks of radio silence, the campaign only spoke out after rumors that he’d checked himself into a mental health facility spread like wildfire and appeared to be confirmed by audio recordings with the facility. The Talarico campaign suddenly rushed to deny the claims and rolled...

The Trump administration pushed for an unusually aggressive search of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s house in recent days in an immigration fraud probe that targets the congresswoman, possible false statements made on government documents, and a potential conspiracy, according to multiple people familiar with the investigation. Prosecutors, however, first had to contend with a federal magistrate judge, in a prolonged back-and-forth that hasn’t previously been reported. Judge Matthew Sharbaugh of the DC District Court ultimately limited how the Justice Department could access Omar’s documents in Monday’s search, before he would approve the warrant, because of her role as a member of...
