Two Utah court clerks have been accused of flipping off surveillance cameras as they snuck illegal migrants out of a courthouse to help them evade Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, according to federal officials. Jennifer Joma, 27, and Lauren Kelsey Morrow, 26, were indicted on June 3 after they allegedly carried out the sneaky scheme at Logan City Municipal Justice Court in Salt Lake City on April 9, court documents stated. The clerks were working at the courthouse when they saw an ICE Enforcement and Removal Officer (ICE-ERO) enter 'to arrest an illegal alien for immigration related charges,' the...

BREAKING: Two former Utah court clerks arrested for allegedly helping illegals evade ICE Jennifer Joma, 27, and Lauren Kelsey Morrow, 26, were working at the courthouse when they learned ICE was there to arrest an illegal. They then allegedly helped multiple illegals escape through a side door and flipped off the security camera on their way out before driving off with the illegals.

SALT LAKE CITY — Two former Logan Justice Court employees are facing federal charges for allegedly helping an immigrant sought by Immigration and Customs Enforcement evade authorities and sneak out of the court facility. "This case is about some state court clerks who abused their position of trust and took the law into their own hands by helping an illegal alien evade a lawful arrest by ICE," read court documents in the two cases. Federal officials filed charges against Lauren Kelsey Morrow, 26, and Jennifer Joma, 27, in U.S. District Court on June 3 and they were unsealed Tuesday. Both...

Democrat congressmen made a series of wild statements during a visit to an immigration detention facility in New Jersey where radical leftists have been protesting and rioting for days. Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) turned up at Delaney Hall in Newark on Wednesday to demand entry and speak to aliens being held inside the facility by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Following a tour, the congressmen held a brief press conference, during which Goldman claimed that the Trump administration is trying to “force” illegal aliens to accept voluntary departure by subjecting them to an extremely hostile...

As election officials across the country brace for the possibility of federal agents descending on polling sites in November, a nationwide coalition of Democratic district attorneys has vowed to prosecute any federal agent suspected of intimidating voters. The announcement, first reported by Politico, comes shortly after President Donald Trump refused to rule out sending U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to election sites during the midterms. “I’d do anything necessary to make sure we have honest elections,” Trump told reporters earlier this month. The coalition includes prosecutors from Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Dallas and Northern Virginia, among other jurisdictions. “We’re ready to...

ALBANY — Lawmakers voted to enshrine New York’s sanctuary state status into law Thursday, imposing a sweeping ban on cooperation between local law enforcement and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The sprawling legislative package, pushed by Gov. Kathy Hochul, not only handcuffs cops from partnering with federal immigration authorities, but also bars ICE agents from most public places like hospitals and parks, and prevents them from wearing masks. The measure, which was significantly ratcheted up from Hochul’s original proposal that largely only went after specific localities, like Nassau County, that have cooperation deals dubbed “287-g agreements” with the feds. The...

California remains the largest offender of DHS sanctuary jurisdictions violations House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Chairman Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) chaired a high-stakes hearing Thursday exposing the deadly consequences of so-called sanctuary policies, using Fairfax County, Virginia, as a case study in how local officials prioritize illegal aliens over public safety. In his opening statement and pointed questioning, McClintock dismantled the “nullification” doctrine embraced by sanctuary jurisdictions, likening it to John C. Calhoun’s failed states’ rights theory that once threatened the Republic. “These nullification or sanctuary jurisdictions now extend to 11 states–coincidentally the same number as...

From October 2022 to February 2025, the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center released more than a thousand deportable illegal immigrants onto the streets in direct defiance of over 1,150 immigration detainers lodged with local officials, according to ICE records obtained by the CIS. In terms of noncompliance, the CIS reported that Fairfax County, over that period, outpaced many other uncooperative facilities of much larger U.S. cities, including San Francisco County Jail at No. 9 with 462 declined detainers, Minnesota's Hennepin County Jail at No. 11 with 363, and New York City’s Rikers Island at No. 16 with 237.

An estimated 400,000 illegal immigrants entered California from 2021 to 2023 as overall population grew by just 20,000 Former Rep. Katie Porter, a Democratic candidate in California’s crowded gubernatorial primary, is facing backlash after saying illegal immigrants are driving population growth in the state, a claim long advanced by Republicans."The job of the California governor is to protect every single Californian," Porter said after being asked if she would work with federal authorities to deport illegal immigrants at Tuesday's California gubernatorial debate. "The sanctuary state policy is designed to make sure that our state resources — the taxpayer dollars, the...

One of the tricks Democrats have tried to pull since the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration began has been to implement directives, executive orders, and even pass legislation at the state level to try to thwart immigration enforcement agents from doing their jobs. Back in February, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) signed Executive Directive 17 (ED-17), which was designed to do just that. Among other things, the directive mandated "that City property is not [to be] utilized by federal immigration agents for staging areas, processing locations, or bases of operation." It also mandated signs to be posted that...

Taxpayer funded pro-illegal immigration groups are demanding millions of dollars from LA residents to help them attack ICE and fund day laborer hubs near Home Depot sites. The groups are already getting $1-million-a-year from LA City Council, and are now demanding a $2-million-a-year funding increase to help them fight against ICE operations and maintain buildings outside the hardware stores. The hubs offer everything from restrooms to free legal services and employment advice to day laborers, all paid for by nonprofits funded by taxpayers. Socialist councilmember Eunisses Hernandez has backed the move that would see groups like the Central American Resource...

Governor Abbott is dead serious about sanctuary cities. First, he signed a law back in 2017 making sanctuary cities illegal. He is back reminding Houston that there are consequences when you don’t work with ICE or don’t obey the law he signed. Check this out: Millions of dollars in public safety funding have been frozen for Houston following a recent change in the city’s immigration policy, according to city officials. Houston Mayor John Whitmire’s office confirmed the update to ABC13 on Tuesday, saying the state had froze [sic] nearly $115 million in public safety funding. During a meeting, Whitmire added...

A contingent of House Democrats and Republicans have banded together to advance an amnesty bill that they definitely want you to think is not actually an amnesty. 20 Republicans so far have joined in as co-sponsors on the bill, betraying the agenda of the Trump administration and the will of the electorate. @realBrandonGill Make no mistake about it: The so-called 'Dignity Act' is amnesty. It gives amnesty to any illegal alien that crossed the border before 2021, any illegal married to a U.S.citizen, and also massively expands visas—-including permanent residence for F-1 international students. It would bring mass deportations to...

🚨New Ngo report: Remember the ex-Wisconsin judge who abused her authority to help a violent Mexican illegal migrant suspect escape through a back door? She pleaded with the court to overturn her conviction & grant a retrial. The court's response: DENIED. thepostmillennial.com/andy-ngo-repor…

This spring, universities are hosting “UndocuGraduation” ceremonies for illegal alien students that are closed to the public and separate from traditional commencement ceremonies. Schools describe the ceremonies as “private” or “intimate,” likely out of deportation fears, requiring advance registration and only revealing the location to confirmed attendees. Many of these events are hosted by university resource centers for illegal alien students, which provide instructional guidance on how to handle interactions with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to best avoid arrest and deportation. These centers also often provide taxpayer-funded legal services for illegal alien students. 1. University of California, San...

Democrats have made it very clear that one of the reasons they support unfettered illegal immigration is that they want to import a slave-labor class that they can pay cheaply and keep in deplorable working conditions. They prove this every time they argue that, sans illegals, we wouldn't have anyone to clean our toilets or cut our grass and the price of our produce would go up because farmers would have to pay people a living wage to harvest crops (a lot of which is automated these days, anyway). Now the New York Times is playing that card again, this...

Senator Chris Murphy: "The people we care about most, the undocumented migrants" He actually said that

In this news video from the San Diego affiliate of NBC News, video shows that after a violent serial criminal named Arturo Gonzalez told Desi Sullivan, the principal of King Chavez High School, that he was running from ICE, the principal violated school policy by unlocking the door, and allowing this violent serial criminal to enter the school while students were inside the school.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wt89ADHwhHUhttps://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/man-runs-into-school-after-ice-encounter/3991377/This tweet from ICE San Diego says that Gonzalez is “a known agitator with a long criminal history including… assault with a deadly weapon… and a 2023 restraining order stemming from a domestic violence arrest.”https://x.com/EROSanDiego/status/2030320342389170539

The Democrats showed their true colors at Tuesday evening’s State of the Union when they failed the president’s test of allegiance to this country. They are so devoted to illegal migration that they walked straight into his trap. President Trump asked every lawmaker in the chamber to stand if they believe their primary duty is to protect American citizens rather than illegal migrants. That should have be a no-brainer. It is the essence of putting America first. But the Democrats refused to stand. “One of the great things about the State of the Union is how it gives Americans the...

By now, the video has gone viral with Trump asking a simple question: “If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal immigrants.”With great timing and a gift for performance and storytelling, Trump pauses and lets the applause grow. He luxuriated in the moment as the Democrats sat there, stone-faced, thinking it would play well at MS-Now. It probably will. Trump wanted all of America to see it and remember it. He set a trap. They walked right into it. “You should...
