A Democratic House hopeful vying for one of the nation's most competitive districts is staying silent after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., voiced support for her campaign. Ocasio-Cortez, a leftist firebrand with growing influence in the Democratic Party, congratulated former Biden administration official Cait Conley on her primary victory in a social media post Wednesday. "I look forward to working together as a delegation as we fight for working families across New York," Ocasio-Cortez wrote. The post also celebrated a Democrat vying to succeed retiring Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., alongside three socialist candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani....

The left wing has worked hard to find very clever ways to stop President Trump’s agenda without ever winning an election. The formula was sinister and simple. Trump announces a new immigration policy. That cues progressive activist groups to race to court and file a lawsuit. A friendly federal activist judge somewhere in California, Hawaii, or D.C. slaps an injunction on the policy, and just like that, everything grinds to a screeching halt. The left is hoping that months drag on and turn into years, letting the lawsuits pile up, and hopefully the policy dies a slow, lonely death before...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani promised to never accept the US Supreme Court’s ruling allowing President Trump’s administration to strip deportation protection for Haitian and Syrian migrants. “To have people who frankly taught the world about freedom have their own freedom put into jeopardy by the actions of a Supreme Court and federal administration — it is not only cruel, it’s not something we will ever accept,” Hizzoner said in a video statement after Thursday’s bombshell 6-3 ruling. The high court ruled that the “temporary protected status” statutes don’t allow for judicial review and that lower courts can’t intervene in the Trump...

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration in two key immigration cases on Thursday, drawing strong opposition from blue state Democrats and prompting a prominent House Republican to break ranks over concerns of a looming healthcare "crisis." In a 6-3 decision in Mullin v. Doe, the high court ruled that Haitian and Syrian nationals with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) cannot turn to federal courts to postpone the revocation of their legal status while challenging the Trump administration's policies. In a separate ruling, the court also held that migrants turned away at the southern border before entering...

Aforce of 10,000 inspectors is being recruited to weed out foreigners: door-to-door across the nation, they will check mines, factories and shops, rounding up those without papers for deportation. Oh, and the target will be black people! Trump madness? Marine le Pen? No, this is South Africa and a project launched by President Cyril Ramaphosa to expel millions of black migrants from across the rest of Africa who have jumped the border or overstayed their visa. It’s Africa’s answer to ICE, though you won’t find many people protesting: quite the opposite. Government and the police are desperate to demonstrate they’re...

Border Czar Tom Homan has announced a major expansion of immigration enforcement resources, including the deployment of 10,000 new agents nationwide. Homan, speaking at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s “Road to the Majority” conference in Washington, DC, on Friday, noted that the administration has already achieved a record, historic year of deportations. “We had a record, historic year with deportations… But now we’ve got 10,000 more agents on board. Wait until next year!” Homan said. Homan also addressed ongoing threats against him and his family from cartels and left-wing open borders activists. Never one to back down, Homan issued a...

Federal immigration agents have nabbed more than 10,000 migrant gangbangers since the start of President Trump’s second term, the US Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday. The milestone, reached just a year and a half after Trump launched his sweeping mass deportations agenda, includes arrests tied to murder, assault with a deadly weapon, drug trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, robbery and extortion, according to DHS. “Many of these gang members were released into our country by Joe Biden,” said DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin. “These vicious criminals murdered, assaulted, robbed, and terrorized innocent Americans for sport.” “Thanks to the Secure America Act, ICE...

A federal judge in Oregon has ordered that fencing erected around a Eugene federal building that has been the target of violent anti-ICE riots must be taken down. The federal building houses Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as well as other federal agencies. US District Judge Mustafa Kasubhai said Monday, "The evidence is clear, convincing, really without any meaningful dispute, that for the time this place has existed, it has been a place where the community has assembled to express themselves." The Biden-appointed judge ruled from the bench following arguments that were held on Monday, per Courthouse News Service. Siding with...

One of 15 Minnesotans charged with conspiring against ICE officers turned herself into officials Wednesday morning. Federal officials arrested most of the defendants Tuesday and they had their first appearance in court for efforts to “violently oppose immigration law enforcement." U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen had called the defendants yet to be detained "fugitives at-large." But one of them, Natasha Rakotz, denies the charges — and the label. “I think all of this is absolutely ridiculous. I am not a violent person. I've never been violent. I've never had trouble with the law,” she said. “The only thing I did was...

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said Thursday that ICE has scrapped its plans to repurpose a Romulus warehouse into a large detention facility in the metro Detroit city. Those plans were first reported by the New York Times, which noted that purchased warehouses in Michigan and New Jersey would specifically be “offloaded” — sold or given away. “Romulus simply was not – and never would be – the appropriate place for a large-scale detention center,” Nessel said in a press release from her office. “The decision to sell the facility is a victory not just for the residents of Romulus...

Once again, former Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan’s request for a retrial has been denied. On Tuesday, a federal judge refused to overturn Dugan’s felony conviction for obstructing immigration agents. Here are the details: Dugan was originally scheduled to be sentenced for her crimes on June 3rd. However, that hearing was postponed until the court could decide whether or not to overturn the conviction. AP News reported further: The case against Hannah Dugan, who resigned from the Milwaukee County Circuit Court following her conviction, was an early test of how the courts would respond to President Donald Trump’s sweeping immigration crackdown....
