A group of Congolese refugees was seen protesting in Washington, DC, on Monday, calling on the US to increase its involvement in addressing violence in central Africa, despite data showing thousands from the region have already been resettled in the US in recent years. According to reporting from the Daily Caller News Foundation, Congolese Tutsi demonstrators marched near the White House to protest against the governments of Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Activists accused both governments of carrying out anti-Tutsi violence and called on US officials to take stronger action. One protester held a sign that read...

An Afghan migrant has become the first person to be convicted of endangering others during a sea crossing to the UK. Tajik Mohammad, 32, had been piloting an overcrowded dinghy across the English Channel in poor weather conditions on 17 January. Some of the passengers were also not wearing life jackets. Appearing at Canterbury Crown Court on Tuesday, he pleaded guilty to breaking the new law, which came into force in January, and will be sentenced on 10 June. Mohammad abandoned the dinghy and its passengers when a rescue ship arrived, the Crown Prosecution Service said. He reached the UK...

At least 250 small boat migrants launched from Belgian beaches on Saturday, as almost 600 illegal immigrants from Belgium and France crossed into UK waters. This latest significant surge in Channel migrants has taken the number who have arrived in the UK so far this year to more than 6,000. It was the biggest single day of small boat activity along the Belgian coast, since people smugglers began a major shift in tactics this year. As well as a 70-mile stretch of French coastline, criminal gangs are now targeting multiple beaches in Belgium to launch migrant dinghies, in efforts to...

A Department of Homeland Security employee was shot and stabbed to death while walking her dog in Atlanta on Monday, part of a series of attacks that killed another woman and critically wounded a homeless man. The 26-year-old suspect, a British-born man naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 2022, has a prior criminal record and faces murder charges for attacks across the Atlanta area. Lauren Bullis was remembered by Homeland Security colleagues as warm, kind and compassionate, with a fellow auditor recalling: “You couldn’t meet her and not be her friend.”

DIGNIDAD Act introduced for the third time in six years by Rep. Maria Salazar (R-Fla.). Excellent written summary - plus - a 39 minute podcast. Key Points - Scope of Amnesty - Enforcement and Legal Concerns - Economic and Labor Market Impact

Channel smugglers are launching small boats from Belgium for the first time as growing pressure on their operations by French police forces them further along the coast. Boats are being launched more than 60 miles from England, before travelling along the Belgian and French coastlines to collect migrants in so-called “taxi” operations. Towns as distant as De Haan, near Bruges, have been used as launch sites for the dinghies, which then motor along the coast for up to four hours before collecting migrants in France, analysis of vessel tracking data by The Times has found. It comes as Britain tries...

Spain’s Council of Ministers will approve on Tuesday a royal decree initiating an extraordinary regularisation process for nearly half a million migrants in the country, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced. In a post on X, Sanchez described the move as "normalisation," acknowledging the reality of nearly half a million people, calling it "an act of justice and a necessity." Underlining that Spain is ageing, Sanchez linked the role of migrants to the country being the fastest-growing economy in Europe. "Neither technology nor automation will solve this challenge on their own in the coming years. The path is clear: better integration,...

U.S. Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) has fired back at fellow GOP Texas Congressman Brandon Gill over his remarks on the Dignity for Immigrants while Guarding our Nation to Ignite and Deliver the American Dream Act (DIGNIDAD). “The Dignity Act is mass amnesty and would constitute a terrible betrayal of our voters,” Rep. Gill claimed in a post on X. In response via X, Congresswoman Salazar wrote, “READ. THE. BILL. BEFORE. YOU. OPEN. YOUR. MOUTH.” “Calling the DIGNITY Act 'amnesty' isn’t just wrong. It’s a deliberate distortion and it exposes just how little you know about the bill,” Rep. Salazar...

Despite President Donald Trump winning on the promise of “mass deportations,” a handful of spineless Republicans, alongside Democrats, are trying to push a mass amnesty act known as the DIGNIDAD Act — or, for English speakers, the DIGNITY Act. The legislation is billed as not being amnesty, but would give millions of illegal aliens — both so-called DREAMers/DACA and non-DREAMers/DACA — a legal status. But co-sponsor Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., insists it’s not amnesty, so much so that she’s screaming at people on X to “READ. THE. BILL. BEFORE. YOU. OPEN. YOUR. MOUTH.” So I read the bill. And...

A federal judge ruled on Tuesday that the Trump administration unlawfully terminated the legal status of thousands of migrants who had been allowed to temporarily live in the U.S. after using an app expanded by the Biden administration to schedule appointments with immigration officials. U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs in Boston ordered the administration to reverse its move last year to revoke the legal status of migrants who used the CBP One app. The app was used under former President Joe Biden starting in 2023 to address the crisis at the border by allowing some migrants to make appointments to...

The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday on the Trump administration’s challenge to the decades-long practice of interpreting the 14th Amendment to allow foreigners to obtain American citizenship simply by being born within the boundaries of the country. If the Supreme Court rules in favor of this view, allowing any foreigner circumstantially (or intentionally) born on U.S. soil to be automatically adopted into the Union as a citizen, it will mean the end of actual American citizens taking the high court seriously. As Justice Clarence Thomas pointed out, the purpose of the 14th Amendment was to grant citizenship to...

This seminar ended at 5 pm yesterday. Key Bank is supposed to be putting an active link at the Source URL some 24-48 hours later. I about fell of my chair when one of their four member team of experts explained why he felt NATO was reluctant, even resistant to contributing any support for reopening the Strait of Hormuz:There is a fear that Iran and its proxies will retaliate by sending more refugees over its borders.

The assassination of Iranian-Canadian dissident Masood Masjoody exposes Tehran’s growing campaign of transnational repression on Canadian soil, while critics warn that Ottawa’s immigration and security policies have allowed IRGC-linked operatives and regime loyalists to infiltrate and operate freely within Canada. In a chilling escalation of Tehran’s transnational terror, Canadian authorities have charged two suspects with the first-degree murder of Masood Masjoody, a 45-year-old Iranian-Canadian dissident and former Simon Fraser University instructor. Masood’s vocal criticism of the Islamic Republic’s brutal regime made him a prime target for the Islamic Regime’s extra-national assassination teams. Masjoody’s body was discovered on March 6, 2026,...

WASHINGTON — One of President Trump’s most ambitious policy endeavors — his effort to end birthright citizenship — is set to face its moment of truth before the Supreme Court on Wednesday, just over a month after it axed the centerpiece of his tariff agenda. The Supreme Court will decide whether Trump’s attempt to block the kin of illegal immigrants born on US soil from automatically becoming citizens is within his power, something that is widely seen as the most consequential case left on its docket. “This is a glaring red line for the Supreme Court justices that they don’t...

How the Homeland Became a Combat Zone Empathetic immigration policies put our country at great risk.During a dinner at the annual gathering of the Ciceronian Society on March 19, a glance at my phone profoundly changed the rest of the evening. It had been an intellectually stimulating day with fellow Christian thinkers, for which my wife and I were grateful to be part of. Something familiar caught my eye: the photo of a man I instantly recognized, Brandon Shah. We were part of the same staff group section within the larger U.S. Army Command and General Staff College class...

A Labour council has launched an online 'myth-buster' urging people not to blame asylum seekers for violence against women. In a post on social media, Liverpool City Council warned against associating foreign cultures with attacks on women and girls - adding there is 'no causal link between asylum seeker populations and increased levels of VAWG'. It urges residents to 'know the facts', providing a link to a page on its website addressing the 'most common myths' and the truth about them. Common misconceptions include asylum seekers being treated better than the British homeless, and being responsible for 'rising violence against...

A deal with France to pay for migrant beach patrols has been delayed because Shabana Mahmood wants stricter, payment-by-results terms, The Times has been told. The Home Office said it was trying to add “flexibility and innovation” to the agreement to base funding on the number of interceptions made by the French. British officials will go to Paris this week for another round of talks on the proposed three-year deal before the existing arrangement expires next Tuesday. There are concerns about a potential surge in Channel crossings if there is a gap between the deals. At present, Britain pays nearly...

Bridgett Fertig repostedBridgett Fertig@LightOnLiberty·11hIn 2025, President Trump stood in front of the United Nations and called ALL of those corrupt cabal elites out for funding the destruction of the United States by sending hoards of dangerous, criminal illegal immigrants towards our borders.The UN's existence was based primarily by OUR tax dollars, so naturally, the technicality that we were funding our own destruction, pissed him off enough to not only cut off their funding, but call them out directly to their faces — NO aviator glasses needed — as he WANTED them to see who he was glaring at while he...
