Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday issued an order wiping out Washington, D.C, police policies that protected illegal immigrants, and she named a temporary leader for the district’s Metropolitan Police Department.

Border czar Tom Homan on Wednesday said that President Donald Trump’s federal takeover of Washington, D.C., means that the city can no longer enforce its sanctuary status. Homan said on “The Story with Martha MacCallum” that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is working “hand-in-hand” with the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), which has been federally taken over, to arrest and deport any illegal immigrant criminal in Washington. The border czar promised that any illegal immigrant who commits a crime will not be protected under any sanctuary law. “I think D.C., under federal control, is not gonna be a sanctuary city. We’re...

Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a two-page order on Thursday rescinding illegal immigration protections in Washington, D.C., and naming an "emergency police commissioner" for the city's Metropolitan Police Department. Bondi's order, titled "Restoring Safety and Security to the District of Columbia," mostly took aim at sanctuary city policies within the nation's capital, rescinding any order that limits how Metropolitan police officers can handle interactions and incidents with illegal immigrants. She also stripped power from Metro Police Chief Pamela Smith by naming Drug Enforcement Administration Administrator Terry Cole as the department's "emergency police commissioner," granting him all the "powers and duties...

On Friday’s broadcast of Fox 5 New York’s “Good Day New York,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) discussed the federal lawsuit filed over the city’s sanctuary policy and said that the law should be adjusted to allow for greater coordination with the federal government when it comes to violent criminals, but for people “who are going about following their next step on the American Dream that are undocumented. We should not be harming them at all” by denying them taxpayer benefits because they “are innocent people who are just trying to pursue the American Dream.” Adams said that...

It appears that Denver, Colorado, Mayor Mike Johnston’s promise of rebellion and insurrection against the Trump administration will not materialize, at least any time soon. Just after President Trump was elected in November, the far-left mayor warned that moms and cops would cordon off the city to block Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from entering, thereby stopping the arrest of illegals. But nothing happened when agents found and locked up more than 240 illegals from July 12 through July 20. They were the usual collection of rapists, killers, drug addicts, and drunk drivers. Meanwhile, in New York City, the...

UPDATE: footage shows two assailants, one an illegal alien with criminal charges, ambushing and shooting a @CBP officer yesterday in New York City.

Nick Sortor @nicksortor 🚨 BREAKING: LA Mayor Karen Bass is PERSONALLY on scene attempting to OBSTRUCT immigration enforcement in the city “They need to leave, and they need to leave NOW,” Bass said NO! HOLD THE LINE @Sec_Noem ! And ARREST BASS if she doesn’t back off!

Donald Trump is ramping up his war against liberal 'sanctuary city' Los Angeles with a new major lawsuit. The Justice Department, led by Trump appointee Pam Bondi, sued the city on Monday following weeks of anti-ICE riots and destruction. The lawsuit argues that LA's policies attempting to 'deliberately' thwart the work of immigration agents violate federal law.'Sanctuary policies were the driving cause of the violence, chaos, and attacks on law enforcement that Americans recently witnessed in Los Angeles,' Bondi said in a statement to the Daily Mail. 'Jurisdictions like Los Angeles that flout federal law by prioritizing illegal aliens over...

Increasingly aggressive immigration raids carried out by masked federal agents, sometimes using unmarked vehicles, are creating problems for local law enforcement agencies. Police have little or no insight into where the federal enforcement actions are taking place but often have to deal with the aftermath, including protests and questions from residents about what exactly happened. In some cases, local cops have been mistaken for federal agents, eroding years of work to have immigrant communities trust the police.In Bell, chaos erupted when masked men arrived at a car wash and began detaining its workers, sparking a confrontation with residents and immigration...

"WE WILL K*LL YOU!" Florida Sheriff’s WARNING! DeSantis: RUN 'EM DOWN?! | LA & NATIONWIDE PROTESTS Breaking news as 700 U.S. Marines and 4,000 National Guard troops roll into Los Angeles, sparked by ICE immigration raids. Tensions escalate with looting, tear gas, and clashes across California, New York, and Illinois:

Mayor Brandon Johnson urged Chicagoans to “rise up in this moment” against President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort, even as he acknowledged Wednesday that the deployment of the military to help carry out immigration raids in Los Angeles could happen here. Johnson refused to say precisely what he would do if mass demonstrations in Chicago — perhaps as soon as Saturday’s “No Kings Day of Defiance” protests — provoke an L.A.-style federal response. The mayor would only say that he is concerned enough to have spoken directly with Gov. JB Pritzker and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle about the...

Democrats favor illegal aliens over Americans, and the more violent they are, the better. There is no illegal Democrats will not defend or donate to. How much money do you think racist groups like La Raza spend on lawyers for violent illegals versus how much do you think they’ve donated to victims of illegal alien crime? I bet they’ve given nothing to help victims; their focus is on creating more of them. As the deportation of people who have no legal right to be here and have not only not contributed anywhere near what they cost our economy – in...

The federal funding was terminated by the Trump administration, but the State of California provides extensive funding for immigration services. The progressive activist group at the center of anti-ICE protests in California received a majority of its budget revenue in recent years from California and federal government grants, state financial documents show. The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) staged one of the first Los Angeles rallies last week protesting the ICE raids in the city, in part sparked by the arrest of the Service Employees International Union president who was accused of obstructing immigration warrants. CHIRLA rallied alongside other...

After Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass condemned ICE for operating in LA, the city is seeing massive unrest all across the city. But now that President Donald Trump is bringing in the national guard against CA Governor Gavin Newsom's wishes, will this save the city? Check out @AnthonyCabassa_'s work on x!

In yet another glaring example of failed immigration enforcement and soft-on-crime policies, the illegal immigrant accused of stealing Department of Homeland Security Secretary (DHS) Kristi Noem’s purse was reportedly released after committing a similar theft in New York City just weeks earlier. Instead of facing swift deportation or serious consequences, the suspect was reportedly freed, highlighting the disastrous impact of sanctuary city policies. According to a newly released report, the suspect and illegal alien from Chile, Mario Bustamante-Leiva, was previously arrested in New York City. As he stole Noem’s purse from a restaurant in Washington, D.C., the New York Police...

WASHINGTON — President Trump signed executive orders Monday evening, kicking off a crackdown on sanctuary jurisdictions such as Chicago, Los Angeles, and all of New York — after previously calling for their federal funding to be cut. One order the 78-year-old inked behind closed doors in the Oval Office gives Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem 30 days to draw up a list of cities and states that “obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration laws.” “Immediately following each publication… the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall notify each sanctuary jurisdiction regarding its defiance...

The terrifying face of an alleged Tren de Aragua gangster was revealed on Friday after he was arrested by ICE officers in Denver, Colorado - a sanctuary city. Joel Matos-Nieto, a 23-year-old illegal Venezuelan migrant with a face full of tattoos, has been accused by ICE of being a member of TdA, a gang whose members often have very specific ink. According to pictures shared by ICE's Denver Field Office, Matos-Nieto was arrested on a street in Denver and was seen handcuffed next to an agent with the DEA, which often participates in ICE raids. Since its founding in a...

The fentanyl seized by our team in this case could have yielded over 1.5 million lethal doses - enough to kill everyone in Portland twice."..

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Seattle Field Division said that the...

Attorneys general representing 23 states have joined forces in opposition to Chicago and Illinois “sanctuary” laws that prohibit local law enforcement officers from helping with the enforcement of federal immigration statutes. In an amicus brief filed in support of the federal government’s lawsuit against the city and state, the group argues that Illinois and Chicago are causing harm to their states by obstructing the enforcement of immigration law. “The national immigration crisis has rendered ‘every state … a border state,’” Ohio Solicitor General T. Elliot Gaiser wrote in a letter signed by 22 colleagues, including attorneys general from Indiana, Missouri,...
