House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is calling out media outlets for cutting off his remarks yesterday during a Q&A about Democratic demands to restore $200 billion in health care subsidies for illegal aliens.Both CNN and MSNBC broke away from Johnson’s remarks during a press conference yesterday when the Speaker began citing the Democrat’s continuing resolution (CR) bill that contains $1.5 trillion in spending demands, including restoring $200 billion in taxpayer-funded health care benefits going to illegals.Johnson had encouraged voters to check out Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s counter-proposal to the GOP’s CR, specifically directing viewers to got to page 57,...

The school district superintendent arrested by ICE this week lied about attending MIT and was the subject of two sex discrimination lawsuits, The Post has learned. Snappy-dresser Ian Andre Roberts, 51, was fired by Des Moines Public Schools after it emerged he was working illegally and had been avoiding a deportation order. Roberts spent over twenty years bouncing around the nation’s education system, holding top posts from coast-to-coast, but also proved controversial. “He ruined our district for three years,” a former colleague in the state told The Post. “He was very smooth, affable, but the overarching feeling you got from...

Longtime Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) acknowledged that her party forced the government into a shutdown on Wednesday in order to secure “health care for everybody” — including illegal immigrants. Waters, 87, was questioned outside the US Capitol Tuesday about Democrats’ opposition to a stopgap funding bill in both chambers of Congress that would have kept the government’s lights on until Nov. 21. “Are Democrats demanding health care for illegal aliens?” asked LindellTV reporter Alison Steinburg. “Democrats are demanding health care for everybody,” Waters responded, hours before her Senate colleagues blocked the spending measure. “We want to save lives,” she added....

If Democrats were to succeed in their funding proposal, parolees — still illegal aliens in any common-sense understanding — would gain access to federal health care benefits.The federal government shut down on Wednesday after Democrats refused to vote on a clean continuing resolution to keep the government funded for the next seven weeks. When Republicans pointed out that Democrats were unwilling to vote to fund the government without restoring health care eligibility for illegal aliens, the media and other Democrats jumped into action, “fact-checking” Republicans and claiming that wasn’t true. These “fact checks” rely on the ludicrous claim that foreign...

Sword-wielding MS-13 thugs who have been terrorizing Long Islanders for years have been rounded up as part of a sweeping Nassau County crackdown of nearly 40 of the notorious gang’s street soldiers — on attempted murder, weapons and illicit drug charges. Included in the massive bust were five college-aged thugs — accused of being part of the deadly MS-13’s Hempstead Locos Salvatruchas branch — who were allegedly responsible for a machete and knife attack that wounded six during a soccer game in broad daylight at the town’s Kennedy Memorial Park last October. The attack was so gruesome that one victim...

An immigration judge on Wednesday denied a motion filed by Kilmar Abrego Garcia's attorneys to reopen his immigration case, according to a copy of the decision obtained by ABC News. In the emergency motion filed in August to reopen the case, attorneys for the wrongly deported Abrego Garcia argued that because he was deported to El Salvador and then brought back to the United States, he is now eligible to apply for asylum within one year of his last entry into the U.S. But in the order filed on Wednesday, Regional Deputy Chief Immigration Judge Philip Taylor said that Abrego...

A Democrat prosecutor in D.C.’s most populous suburb allowed illegal immigrants to go unpunished for vicious crimes because a felony conviction might lead to their deportation, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares alleged in an investigation Friday. Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano requires his staff to examine “immigration consequences” when considering cases, then often pleads them down to more minor crimes. That’s a leniency not always afforded to Americans, and it amounts to illegal discrimination, Miyares said in a report that encourages the federal Department of Justice to take action. Descano “engaged in a pattern and practice of denying U.S....

Co-host (of CNN’s The Situation Room) Wolf Blitzer said, “I want to play something President Trump said last hour as he addressed senior U.S. military officers at the Marine base at Quantico, Virginia. Listen to this, then I’ll get your reaction.” […] Johnson said, “This is absolutely appalling. This president is an unstable human being, and it’s right for this moment to check him. We’re calling on Congress to do its job. There’s no way that anyone in this country should be OK with armed militarized troops being sent to cities. These individuals, these brave women and men who sign...

A second illegal migrant hit in the mass shooting at a Dallas ICE facility has died from his injuries, according to his “shattered” wife, who is expecting their fifth child any day now. Mexican national Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez, 32, was shot at least eight times during last Wednesday’s sniper-style attack and was rushed to Parkland Hospital in a critical condition before dying of his injuries, CBS News reported. Garcia-Hernandez, who was in the US illegally, was detained by ICE after being arrested on Aug. 8 for a DUI, Gauffeny previously said.

Ian Andre Roberts is currently registered to vote in Maryland. When he registered in 2017, he reportedly had been working in St. Louis for years. There’s no indication from his resumes that he’s lived in Baltimore since he registered to vote there.

From border coyotes to courtroom decisions, a clandestine industry is exploiting illegal immigrants to bag billion-dollar injury lawsuits which advocates say raise costs for American families. The scheme is simple. An illegal immigrant approaches a personal injury law firm to sue his workplace and property managers for an injury – real, inflated, or fake – for millions of dollars in return for assistance securing up-front loans to pay back the border coyotes that brought him here, Lauren Zelt, executive director of Protecting American Consumers Together, told Just the News. “So what we're seeing in a lot of major cities across...

An ICE agent who was filmed brutally slamming a woman to the ground in front of her children has been 'relieved' of his duties, according to an official. Now-viral footage of the male officer showed him throwing her to the hard ground as he repeatedly told her 'adios'. The woman was heard pleading with the plain-clothes official at the New York City customs and immigration offices after her husband was detained and whisked away by ICE agents just moments earlier. Her young daughter cried as her mother was violently forced to the floor and witnesses rushed to surround her. Now,...

A multi-agency immigration enforcement operation in Central Florida resulted in the detention of 354 illegal aliens, state officials announced Friday during a press conference in Brevard County. The operation, dubbed “Operation One Way Ticket,” involved the Florida Highway Patrol, the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, U.S. Border Patrol, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as well as other partners. “We are a nation of law and order,” Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey said. “If you come into our country without permission, if you come into our country illegally, you broke the law.” Officials said the targeted enforcement focused on individuals subject to...

A Navajo Nation man charged by federal prosecutors with running a vast illegal cannabis cultivation and distribution ring pleaded guilty Tuesday to 15 felony crimes and faces up to life in prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced. Dineh Benally, 48, admitted in his federal plea agreement that he operated more than 30 farms covering some 400 acres on land obtained from Navajo Nation members. He also admitted hiring illegal Chinese workers to grow cannabis on his farms. Benally entered the plea on Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque before U.S. Magistrate Judge John F. Robbenhaar. Benally also admitted that...

About a month ago, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem held a press conference to announce that about “1.6 million illegal immigrants have left the United States population.”That’s a fraction of the number of people who arrived in the years that the Biden administration essentially opened the border. But it’s a lot of people, and it engendered much eye-rolling among journalists who compared Noem’s claim to Attorney General Pam Bondi’s declaration that President Trump’s drug interdiction policies had saved 258 million lives, roughly 75% of the U.S. total population.However, in the weeks since Noem’s announcement, several data points have...

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is setting the record straight after NBC News attempted to once again smear ICE as the agency continues its work enforcing our immigration laws. Earlier today, NBC News reported that ICE used a five-year-old autistic girl as "bait" to capture her illegal immigrant father. ICE agents held a 5-year-old autistic girl outside her Massachusetts home to pressure her father to surrender to authorities last week, according to the girl's family. https://t.co/bJrhpL1xeI— NBC News (@NBCNews) September 23, 2025Here's more:Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents held a 5-year-old autistic girl outside her Massachusetts home to pressure her...

Federal authorities have taken a Honduran national into custody after he was caught poaching fish at Cape Hatteras National Seashore, underscoring the growing link between unlawful immigration and disregard for U.S. laws. Earlier this week, U.S. Marshals arrested 46-year-old Walter Betancourth following a court appearance in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Betancourt, who was already subject to a final order of removal dating back to 2022, was transferred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody for deportation proceedings. His arrest was the result of close cooperation between ICE, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District...

Left-wing comedian Bill Maher tried to trap Border Czar Tom Homan this weekend with the standard liberal fantasy: just give amnesty to the millions of illegal immigrants already in the country. Homan shredded that argument piece by piece. His reasoning was so airtight that even Maher’s leftist crowd had no choice but to applaud. It’s not every day you see progressives cheer for enforcement, but logic wins when it’s delivered that well. Maher asked Homan why the agency couldn’t just go easier on those in the country illegally. Homan didn’t mince words: “What I’m saying is, that’s why you have...

The co-founder of Code Pink is married to Neville Roy Singham who provides funding to communist and far-left leftist groups and efforts. Singham reportedly funded the recent anti-ICE protests across the US. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, the chairwoman of the Taskforce on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, called on Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to freeze all assets of Neville Singham, the billionaire funder of the communist Code Pink organization, ANSWER Coalition, National Students for Justice in Palestine and several other anti-American leftist organizations. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) posted the news on a...
