    Gov. JB Pritzker has officially signed the Illinois "Squatter Bill" into law on Monday. The law will make it easier for police to remove squatters from someone's home, bypassing a possibly months-long eviction process Previously, squatters were allowed to stay at the property during the court process to get them out. The law differentiates squatters from tenants, making it easier for property owners to regain control of their home. "This outdated eviction law has treated squatters the same as tenants, leaving property owners in limbo and tying the hands of law enforcement," Pritzker said.
  • How ‘charities,’ funded by your tax dollars, helped break immigration law

    NY Post ^ | 7/15/25 | Rep. Josh Brecheen
    When violent riots erupted across Los Angeles in defiance of President Trump’s efforts to enforce federal immigration law, the uprising was not as spontaneous as open-borders politicians would have you believe. Far-left non-governmental organizations, including the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), helped provide transportation and services to those going to the protests in support of illegal immigration, many of which quickly devolved into brutal attacks on Immigration and Customs Enforcement. As it turns out, CHIRLA received nearly $34 million in California state grants from June 2022 to June 2023. From October 2021 to September 2024, under the Biden-Harris administration,...

    Rules for Reactionaries ^ | June 17, 2025 | Fabius Minarchus
    But with the Trump Administration now waging aggressive lawfare, the subject of revenge is back on the table, and this time we have a target rich environment. Forget Comey with his pathetic 86-47 seashell picture. That’s litter bugging compared to the mass quantities of treason, terror, and human rights violations that Team D has been committing over the past decade. *They did Watergate level phone tapping of Trump Tower before The Donald could take office. *They made a mockery of the impeachment process multiple times. *They used COVID-19 as an excuse to engage in massive ballot stuffing in 2020. *They...

    The mother of 11-year-old Jayden Perkins, who was fatally stabbed while trying to protect her from a violent attack by her just-paroled ex-boyfriend, is calling out Illinois politicians for using her son’s name for political gain while fighting her civil lawsuit against the state behind closed doors. Laterria Smith, who was also seriously injured in the March 2024 attack, released an open letter to Gov. JB Pritzker on Wednesday. In it, she accuses his administration of publicly invoking Jayden’s name to promote changes to the Illinois Prisoner Review Board, even as state lawyers move to dismiss her negligence suit tied...

    US District Judge Brian Murphy on Monday evening defied the US Supreme Court and said his order barring deportation of illegal aliens to South Sudan remains in effect. In a 6-3 decision, the US Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump Administration to resume deporting illegal aliens to ‘third-party’ countries. The Supreme Court granted the Trump Administration’s emergency application and paused Judge Brian Murphy’s order blocking the third-country removals.

    City comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander was arrested by ICE agents Tuesday in a chaotic scene outside a federal immigration court, his mayoral campaign confirmed. Video showed Lander repeatedly demanding to see a judicial warrant for a man being hauled away by immigration agents – all while he kept his hand clutched on the detainee’s shoulder. After Lander refused to let go, a voice could be heard saying, “Take him in,” prompting agents to cuff him. “You don’t have the authority to arrest US citizens,” Lander repeated in protest, according to video shared by an amNY reporter.

    The Harvard Law Review retaliated against a student editor for allegedly leaking documents to the Washington Free Beacon and demanded, as part of the journal’s disciplinary process, that he request their destruction, according to emails obtained by the Free Beacon. The demand came as the law review was under a document retention order stemming from multiple federal probes, raising questions about whether the journal was also trying to interfere with a government investigation. The Justice Department told Harvard on May 13 that it was investigating reports of racial discrimination at the journal, according to the New York Times. A week...

Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) said that President Donald Trump had been “flagrantly violating” the law with cuts to government through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

And I categorize empowerment as stealing, they are stealing these funds. and the president knows even less about those two issues.” She continued, “It’s in the Constitution, the Constitution in Article I Section 9, Clause 7, says that the power of the purse resides in the in the Congress, and there is no inherent authority that...

    Laws banning the carry or possession of weapons in government buildings are a very late addition to the United States of America. At the time of the ratification of the Bill of Rights, including the Second Amendment, there were only three places where the possession and carry of weapons were banned with some regularity. Those were: Court rooms while court was in session; legislative chambers where governmental bodies were involved in their legislative duties; and polling places on election day. There were no bans on carrying or possessing weapons in most public buildings, most of the time. From the Supreme...

    You can find many unusual things in gardens, but stumbling upon a treasure worth millions of Dollars isn’t exactly common. Michel Dupont, a 52-year-old farmer from Auvergne, accidentally discovered a gold deposit on his land valued at 4 billion Dollars. This discovery stands as one of the most significant finds in French history. However, Dupont’s joy was short-lived, as the government soon informed him that everything found beneath his garden legally belongs to the state. The discovery occurred while Dupont was walking along a stream on his farm and noticed a strange shimmer in the water. He dug into the...

    Members of law enforcement say no tax on overtime would be a “huge advantage” to them, and the White House shared their remarks following the “big, beautiful” bill jumping a key hurdle in the U.S. House on Sunday. The Trump White House shared a video of members of law enforcement explaining what no tax on overtime would do for them. One said it would be a “huge advantage to law enforcement across the country.” “We work sometimes 100 plus hours a pay period. It’s a lot of time taken away from the family. So that would be pretty special,” another...

    Nature abhors a vacuum, the saying goes. Of late, the democrat party has been in a vacuum, trying desperately to find something to justify its existence. The best they have come up recently is the to rush to aid and defend illegal alien murderers, rapists and child traffickers. Of and by itself it wasn't attracting the kind of attention they've been desirous of, so they hatched a new plan to get it. There are two ICE detention facilities in New Jersey, one in Elizabeth and one in Newark. The mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, decided he was going to storm...

    Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s, D-Md., sudden trip to El Salvador to try to free deportee Kilmar Abrego Garcia is getting the attention of critics who believe the Maryland Democrat may have violated a 1799 law prohibiting unauthorized diplomacy. The Logan Act – named for former Pennsylvania Sen. George Logan – stipulates a fine and/or imprisonment for Americans corresponding with foreign officials "with intent to influence the[ir] measures … in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States." Logan met with French diplomat Charles de Talleyrand after Paris rebuffed President...
