Free Republic

The House members are Reps. Robert Garcia, of California; Maxwell Frost, of Florida; Maxine Dexter, of Oregon; and Yassamin Ansari, of Arizona. Four House Democrats have traveled to El Salvador to, in the words of one member, remind Americans that Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, an El Salvadoran migrant who had been living in Maryland, was wrongfully deported to his home country. “While Donald Trump continues to defy the Supreme Court, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being held illegally in El Salvador after being wrongfully deported,” said California Rep. Robert Garcia, one of the four. “That is why we’re here – to...

The wife of deported Salvadorian migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia accused her husband of violently beating her multiple times in a 2021 court filing exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com. Abrego Garcia, 29, was deported from Maryland to El Salvador by the Trump administration on March 15 over connections to the violent MS-13 gang. Since his removal, which the Trump administration admits was due to an 'administrative error,' Democrats have been pleading for 'Maryland father' to be released, arguing that he was unlawfully removed from the U.S. and that he is not a criminal. But a 2021 petition for protection from domestic violence...

WASHINGTON – The Pentagon called the removal of Navajo Code Talker content a “mistake,” vowing Tuesday to restore material taken offline during a scrub of DEI content. The explanation didn’t sit well with Peter MacDonald, 96, one of just two surviving Code Talkers and a former Navajo Nation chairman. He objected to any implication that celebrating heroes who helped to win World War II equates with “diversity, equity and inclusion.”

References to a World War II Medal of Honor recipient, the Enola Gay aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan and the first women to pass Marine infantry training are among the tens of thousands of photos and online posts marked for deletion as the Defense Department works to purge diversity, equity and inclusion content, according to a database obtained by The Associated Press. The database, which was confirmed by U.S. officials and published by AP, includes more than 26,000 images that have been flagged for removal across every military branch. But the eventual total could be much higher....

Pentagon bureaucrats fighting a rear guard action in favor of DEI are again engaged in "malicious compliance" to make Secretary Pete Hegseth's efforts to root out the racist and sexist DEI policies of Lloyd Austin look ridiculous. References to a World War II Medal of Honor recipient, the Enola Gay aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan and the first women to pass Marine infantry training are among the tens of thousands of photos and online posts marked for deletion as the Defense Department works to purge diversity, equity and inclusion content, according to a database obtained by The...

He told the undercover reporter, "Kristi Noem? I f*cking hate her." “The secretaries can set the priorities for the department,...

In response to President Donald Trump’s executive order banning diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, the Pentagon’s intelligence agency has paused special event programs and related events, including for Juneteenth, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Black History Month, Holocaust Days of Remembrance and Pride Month, according to a memo obtained by ABC News. Despite being on the list of the Defense Intelligence Agency’s paused events and activities, the memo clarified that Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth will remain federal holidays. “The Defense Intelligence Agency is working with the Department of Defense to fully implement all Executive Orders and Administration...

President Donald Trump has suspended dozens of government officials for trying to circumvent his executive order on freezing all foreign aid. Dozens of career government officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development were placed on leave on Monday. One agency staffer told the Wall Street Journal that 57 people were affected. 'We have identified several actions within USAID that appear to be designed to circumvent the President's Executive orders and the mandate from the American people,' said the newly installed acting administrator, Jason Gray, in an email obtained by The Washington Post. 'As a result, we have placed a...

Steve Friend @RealStevefriend The Acting Attorney General ordered the @FBI to assist with ICE deportations. I've been told that agents are calling in sick - "blue flu" style - to protest the directive. Confirm @Kash_Patel forthwith to root this subterfuge out.

President Trump just fired a bunch of USAID employees for conspiring to secretly send further foreign aid without approval. This administration is NOT playing games. “We've identified several actions within USAID that appear to be designed to circumvent the President's Executive Orders and the mandate from the American people. As a result, we have decided to put a number of USAID employees on administrative leave with full pay and benefits until further notice while we complete our analysis of these actions." - Acting USAID administrator Jason Gray ... Get rid of USAID ... If it wasn’t for the unions, he...

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered the US Air Force to return training modules about the Tuskegee Airmen and Women's Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs, to the basic training curriculum. This training was reported as canceled Friday, an alleged casualty of President Trump's anti-DEI executive order; see The Air Force Seems to Have Decided to Use Malicious Compliance to Fight Trump's DEI Order – RedState. **** While this crushes this rebellion, there is more work to do. The people behind it are open about their intentions. This is a clip from a closed Facebook group called "Service Academy Women."...

Trump is getting more of a honeymoon in Term 2 than in Term 1, and while part of it is due to the shock of the 2024 win, a lot of it has become tactics. The first stage of the plan is to infiltrate his decision-making loop and to make his various policies backfire. That’s why it’s helpful to understand what malicious compliance is. The last ‘resistance’ movement among federal employees focused on more direct sabotage, at least initially this time they’re using malicious compliance, that is to say they’re implementing executive orders in the most destructive fashion. And then...

Bipartisan criticism and public outcry leads to the reinstatement of a video honoring the heroic Black pilots of World War II, highlighting their enduring legacy in American history. The uproar over the U.S. Air Force’s removal of a video of Tuskegee Airmen from its curriculum in response to a DEI ban has reached the highest levels of government, causing them to make an about-face. Now, the Air Force says it will return the video about the famous Black World War II pilots to the service members’ curriculum, with confirmation from the new incoming secretary of the Department of Defense, Pete...
