Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom’s California-sized meltdowns are as hilarious as they are revealing. The oily-haired idiot needs to shut up. On Thursday, his constantly moving mouth had him spilling the frijoles on why Democrats hate ICE and why the protection of illegal aliens is so important to their party’s hold on power in the Golden State. Those reasons? Illegal aliens are voting in elections! Hear Newsom yourself. (WATCH)

@RealTomHoman: Kilmar Abrego Garcia is "a significant public safety threat... He's a gang member, designated terrorist, and he's been ordered removed by two different federal judges... I'm giving you my word: he WILL be deported from this country."

The Supreme Court's decision in DHS v. Regents of the University of California will likely decide the face of the DACA program and that opinion is expected in weeks. If you have read an article on DACA recently, it is likely that it was a one-dimensional piece featuring some DACA recipient working in healthcare who is facing a loss of employment. At the same time, you would have more luck looking for a unicorn than you would looking for an article in the nation's elite media that analyzes the legal issues before the Supreme Court or makes any mention of...

Last week a judge in Miami ordered the shut down of the detention site known as Alligator Alcatraz. U.S. District Judge Kathleen M. Williams entered a preliminary injunction to prevent the installation of any additional industrial-style lighting and any site expansion. Her ruling further prevents “bringing any additional persons ... who were not already being detained at the site at the time of this order.”...Within 60 days, “and once the population attrition allows for safe implementation of this Order,” the facility must also remove “all generators, gas, sewage, and other waste and waste receptacles that were installed to support this...

The Trump administration has levied billions in fines against illegal migrants who have refused deportation orders, according to a report. Immigrants have been fined at least $6.1 billion since President Trump took office in January, with some people facing millions in fines for staying in the US years after they were ordered to leave, the Wall Street Journal reported. In total, 21,500 fines have been issued, sometimes to the tune of nearly $1,000 for every day stayed past removal orders. One migrant, a Brooklyn restaurant worker who was ordered to leave the country in 1998, was fined $1.8 million in...

In a video posted by the Department of Homeland Security on Monday, Kilmar Abrego Garcia can be heard saying the words "gobierno corrupto," which is Spanish for "corrupt government." In the footage, the Salvadoran man is seen bound by restraints while being escorted by an individual wearing a vest that reads, "POLICE ICE." The DHS post on X containing the video declares, "He doesn’t belong here. He won’t be staying here. America is a safer nation without this MS-13 Gangbanger in it. Good riddance." The footage appears to be from when ICE arrested Abrego Garcia on Monday. "On Monday, U.S....

The Trump administration has issued $6.1 billion in fines to immigrants it says have ignored deportation orders. Now it is moving to collect those penalties. In recent weeks, the government has threatened immigrants with lawsuits, debt collectors and ruinous tax bills if they don’t pay financial penalties. If the recipient self-deports, Homeland Security says the fine will be waived ... “It’s driving immigrants to the point where they feel like they will lose everything if they remain in the United States, so it’s better to cut their losses, pack up and self-deport,” said immigration attorney LaToya McBean Pompy… “These fines...

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced that the state will take action to crack down on “illegal aliens who may be operating large trucks using out-of-state driver’s licenses.” On Monday, August 25, 2025, Uthmeier announced a series of actions targeting the commercial trucking industry and commercial driver’s licensing (CDL) standards amid ongoing public scrutiny of an August 12 triple fatality crash on the Florida Turnpike allegedly caused by an illegal U-turn taken by Harjinder Singh. Ag Enforcement Officers To Man CMV Interdiction Stations Under ICE Direction Uthmeier and other law enforcement agencies announced that Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer...

It appears that many of Boston's officers are quietly rebelling against the anti-ICE stance taken by Boston Mayor Michelle Wu's (D) administration. According to acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, Boston cops are secretly providing critical information to federal immigration officials to help arrest criminal illegal aliens—a bold move that flies in the face of the sanctuary city policies pushed by Wu and other extremist Democrat mayors across the country. For years, Boston, under Wu’s leadership, has been one of the loudest advocates of the sanctuary city movement. Her administration has consistently refused to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, shielding illegal...

Bishop Schneider: « Mass Immigration: a plan to Islamize Europe » LA NUOVA BUSSOLA QUOTIDIANA23 August 2025 Lorenza Formicola interviews Monsignor Athanasius Schneider. Politicians and international organizations have orchestrated "a sort of resettlement of Muslim-majority citizens in Christian European countries," with the aim of changing their identity. The term "refugee" is being abused. And many in the Church, rather than proclaiming Christ, use the Bible to justify mass immigration. Monsignor Athanasius Schneider, titular bishop of Celerina and auxiliary of the Archdiocese of Maria Santissima in Astana, is one of the most authoritative voices in contemporary Catholicism. A distinguished essayist, he...

An Obama judge issued an injunction on Thursday ordering Florida not only to halt the arrival of new detainees to Alligator Alcatraz but to begin dismantling the facility. The Sunshine State isn't rolling over, and Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis' office indicated that President Donald Trump's deportation campaign will continue as planned. Quick background After DeSantis tasked state leaders with identifying places for a new detention facility to temporarily house outbound criminal noncitizens, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier made a public pitch in favor of "Alligator Alcatraz" — "an old, virtually abandoned airport facility" in the Everglades that could serve as...

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) on Friday pushed back on President Trump’s threat to target Chicago next in the Trump administration’s crackdown on crime following a sweeping takeover in the nation’s capital. “As Donald Trump attempts to create chaos that distracts from his problems, we’ll call it out for what it is,” Pritzker wrote in a lengthy thread on social platform X “Trump and Republicans are trying to distract from the pain they’re causing — from tariffs raising the prices of goods to stripping away healthcare and food from millions.”

ICE raids are closing businesses and creating ghost towns throughout areas of California. A recent study estimates around 200,000 job losses due to these raids so far, which has local progressives sounding the alarm. Journalistic report. Includes news footage for purposes of commentary, criticism and analysis. 0:06 Huntington Park, California, now feels it has a bullseye on its back because of ramped up ice rates. So almost half the people living in some California towns do so while living in America ill legally. And while the lawless residents of these cities gripe to the news of how ICE raids are...

It’s possible Donald Trump’s abrupt decision to “federalize” law enforcement in Washington, D.C., was just a one-off power grab, reflecting the federal government’s unique control of the capital city and Trump’s own obsession with Washington as a symbol of the American greatness he claims to be restoring. In other words, maybe he took over D.C. because he could. But the exotic and rather fascistic appearance of National Guard units on the streets of Washington absent a riot or some other historically relevant pretext makes you wonder if the 47th president has something far worse in store. Here are some possibilities...

Gavin Newsom sucks. He is the slimy, smarmy Governor of California. By any measure he is a failure. He has been doing all he can to raise his stature and visibility for a Presidential run in 2028, which really isn't a good idea. Increased visibility means increased scrutiny. As I mentioned already, Newsom is a failure. PJ on X has complied a handy list for us: Governor Gavin Newsom’s top 20 failures in California 1. Homelessness Crisis: Over 180,000 unsheltered despite $24 billion spent since 2019. 2. Housing Shortfall: Promised 3.5 million new units by 2025, but construction lags severely....

The Indian immigrant truck driver accused of killing three people in a crash when he made an illegal U-turn across a Florida highway badly flunked English fluency and road sign tests following the smash-up, the US Department of Transportation revealed. Harjinder Singh answered just two of 12 questions correctly when being tested for English language proficiency by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration after the April 12 crash. And when asked to read highway signs and their meanings, Singh could only identify one out of four signs shown to him, the US Department of Transportation (DOT) announced Tuesday. Despite these...

In your opinion, what is the purpose of giving a commercial driver’s license to someone who can’t read or speak English, and thus, can’t read road signs? In my opinion, the only reason to do this is because it makes people feel morally superior. It is a form of virtue signalling. And the people who support doing this have zero concern for the innocent people who get killed by these unqualified drivers.What is your opinion?This graphic video from Las Vegas shows a guy named Claude Rafiki driving his truck the wrong way, and killing 3 innocent people:https://x.com/Tomhennessey69/status/1793141608713691356Let’s check in on...

Benjamin Marcelo Guerrero-Cruz was walking his family’s dog in Van Nuys on a recent morning when he was taken into custody by federal immigration officials, according to authorities and published reports. Guerrero-Cruz, who turned 18 this month, was set to start his senior year at Reseda Charter High School on Thursday. Instead, he’s being held in Department of Homeland Security custody pending removal from the United States, the agency confirmed in statement to The Times on Friday. “Benjamin Guerrero-Cruz, an illegal alien from Chile, overstayed his visa by more than two years, abusing the Visa Waiver Program under which he...

Gov. Andy Beshear confirmed that almost 2,000 Kentucky driver's licenses have been revoked following allegations of a fraud scheme involving undocumented immigrants. The governor said 1,985 driver's licenses were discovered during routine reviews of credential applications and have since been revoked. The revoked credentials, if used, would not work at an airport and would be flagged if pulled over at a traffic stop," Beshear said on Wednesday. Beshear addressed the criminal investigation after a news report detailed a former clerk's allegations earlier this week. A former clerk told WDRB News that her co-workers were selling driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants...
