So far in 2025, the state of New York has released nearly 7,000 illegal migrant criminals from its jails and prisons and set them loose on society. For every one of them ICE had filed active detainers with state authorities. The crimes for which these criminals were incarcerated included attempted murder, thousands of assaults, and hundreds of burglaries, robberies, drug offenses, weapons offenses and sexual predatory offenses. Currently, 7,113 illegal migrants with active ICE detainers are currently being held New York's prisons and jails. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is demanding they be turned over to them for deportation...

I was subpoenaed before the grand jury in the Adam Schiff case. That investigation is still open. When I showed up in Maryland, the DOJ made a very deliberate choice: pull me out of the grand jury room, question me privately, and tell me I would be called back later. And here is the red flag. They did not ask about a single detail of the evidence against Adam Schiff. Not one. They were focused on the "investigators", not the crimes. That is the strange behavior we are now seeing with Letitia James. And here is the part that should...

Back in October, New York AG Letitia James was indicted with two charges related to mortgage fraud. But by the end of November that indictment, and one against former FBI Director James Comey, were tossed out after a judge ruled the appointment of Lindsey Halligan as prosecutor was improper. Both cases were dismissed without prejudice.That left the DOJ with two options. They could appeal the ruling dismissing the two cases or they could essentially start over with a new prosecutor. Yesterday, they attempted to start over on the case against Letitia James but the new prosecutor failed to secure an...

he U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit ruled Monday that two nonprofit pro-life pregnancy centers in New York and a nonprofit network of affiliated centers, all represented by Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys, are free to tell women about the life-saving potential of using progesterone for abortion pill reversal while their lawsuit continues. Last year, New York Attorney General Letitia James sued 11 faith-based, life-affirming pregnancy centers in state court in an effort to silence their speech about counteracting the effects of the abortion drug mifepristone using supplemental progesterone, a treatment commonly known as “abortion-pill reversal.” Her enforcement action...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is reportedly considering pursuing new indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) after a federal judge dismissed their prior charges in November.Comey had been indicted in late September for making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional investigation. James was indicted in early October for bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution. Both pleaded not guilty.Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, as RedState reported last week, dismissed both cases while ruling that the interim U.S. Attorney who brought the charges, Lindsey Halligan, was unconstitutionally appointed.The...

The Department of Homeland Security sent a letter Monday to New York Attorney General Letitia James, demanding that she turn over the more than 7,000 illegal migrants that are allegedly locked up in jails and prisons in the state. Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons claimed that nearly 7,000 illegal migrants, who had active detainers because they allegedly committed thousands of crimes, were released back into the state since January and 7,113 illegal migrants with active ICE detainers are currently locked up in New York, according to the New York Post. “These are people who are not only...

United States District Court Judge Cameron M. Currie, sitting by designation in the Eastern District of Virginia, yesterday dismissed the federal indictments against former FBI Director James B. Comey and New York attorney general Letitia James. At the crux of the court order is the judge’s finding that President Donald J. Trump’s administration unlawfully appointed Lindsey Halligan, the U.S. Attorney who signed the Comey and James indictments. Taking the now familiar TDS cheap shot, the court order opens with a description of the U.S. Attorney as “a former White House aide with no prior prosecutorial experience.” Attorney General Pamela J....

A federal judge dismissed the Virginia criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday, finding that interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan was improperly appointed to her position and “had no lawful authority” to secure indictments of either of President Trump’s longtime adversaries. The humiliating defeat for the administration came 11 days after attorneys for both Comey and James had argued that Halligan had to be confirmed by the Senate after Attorney General Pam Bondi used up her allotted 120-day interim appointment on Erik Siebert, who resigned Sept. 19 after Trump publicly...

A federal judge on Monday dismissed the criminal cases against James Comey and Letitia James. The case was dismissed without prejudice. Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, a Clinton appointee ruled that US Attorney Lindsey Halligan was invalidly appointed: For the reasons set forth above, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows: 1. The appointment of Ms. Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney violated 28 U.S.C. § 546 and the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution. 2. All actions flowing from Ms. Halligan’s defective appointment, including securing and signing Mr. Comey’s indictment, were unlawful exercises of executive power and are hereby set...

New York Attorney General Letitia James wants the details of Lindsey Halligan’s interactions with the grand jury that indicted her — after a judge found “profound investigative missteps” in Halligan’s handling of the case against ex-FBI Director James Comey. James wants prosecutors in the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia, helmed by ex-White House aide Halligan, to turn over certain records from the grand jury that indicted her for bank fraud charges tied to claims that she lied on documents for a mortgage on a second home in Virginia. The request came after US Magistrate Judge William...

On October 21, 2025, I received a phone call. It lasted for 51 seconds. “Hello, this is Letitia James. Your number showed up on my Caller ID. Who is this?” The voice was unmistakable. I knew it was her. I had just finished calling about twenty phone numbers associated with New York Attorney General Letitia James’s seven siblings, hoping to learn more about her niece, Shamice Thompson-Hairston, with whom James had jointly purchased a home in Norfolk, Virginia. I was calling from my California-based cell phone with an 805 area code. However, no one picked up and I had left...

Letitia James is asking for donations and starts out saying she has "...spent my entire career fighting for justice and to make sure that the law applies to all of us equally, fairly, and equitably." The amazing part of the video is she says that with a straight face. Any guesses how many takes it took to choke that lie out with a straight face?

For more than 30 years, the author and public intellectual Peter Brimelow has argued for and published the writings of like-minded “immigration patriots” who support strong restrictions on immigration.Standing at the right edge of the policy debate, he has drawn the ire of pro-immigration advocates who ascribe racism to his positions. Left-wing groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League label him a “white nationalist.” They put him and VDARE, the nonprofit he established in 1999, on their well-publicized “hate” lists.Brimelow claims those long-running battles over protected speech are the reason he has been targeted by New...

We first heard of Lindsey Halligan working for President Trump after the illegal Mar-a-Lago raid. The crooked Biden regime authorized the raid in an effort to steal documents that the President rightly held in his possession. Halligan was on Hannity to discuss what happened and the corruption in the elections and more. Lindsey Halligan, who brought us the historic, unprecedented indictment of corrupt criminal Jim Comey, has always been fighting for President Trump and for truth and accountability. Here is her interview as Pres Trump’s lawyer defending him from the FBI goons and Jack Smith responsible for the raid on...

The federal indictment of New York’s attorney general centers on a home she purchased for a relative. It is an act that rings deeply familiar to many.To some Black families, it was an intimately familiar arrangement.A woman whose parents fled a life of sharecropping in the South was among the first in her family to achieve a prestigious career. She extended her help to relatives who had less, even buying a home for a grandniece in need of stability.The house sits at the center of the indictment of Letitia James, the New York attorney general, by the Justice Department. She...

New York Attorney General Letitia James will be arraigned Friday for her charges of lying on a mortgage application, a prosecution pushed by President Donald Trump. James' arraignment will be in Norfolk, Va., in the first court appearance since her indictment on Oct. 9. A grand jury in the U.S.District Court of Eastern Virginia indicted James on the criminal charges after the Justice Department alleged she falsely claimed a Norfolk, Va., property that she bought in 2020 would be her primary residence to get better mortgage terms. James is expected to plead not guilty to one count of bank fraud...

New York Attorney General Letitia James, even as she already faces fraud charges and an ever-expanding scandal of criminal allegations, has launched a portal for Democrats to report and therefore dox ICE agents. After an ICE raid where federal officers arrested nine illegal aliens with criminal records in New York City, James and other Democrats flipped their lids, screaming about alleged abuses. Following the example of Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) and his fellow House and California Democrats, James launched her own ICE reporting portal, which could potentially justify yet more charges against her for violating federal immigration law. James proudly...

Before you add John Bolton’s indictment to the growing pile of specious prosecutions of Donald Trump’s enemies, stop and read the Justice Department’s allegations that the former national security adviser systematically shared classified information with people who weren’t authorized to read it, all in the service of writing a tell-all book. The 18-count criminal indictment, filed yesterday, was compiled by experienced prosecutors, not political lackeys. It is detailed and precise, and relies on Bolton’s own words to implicate him. You should question whether these charges would be brought if Trump weren’t president. Officials in Joe Biden’s administration passed on the...
