    Susan Jekarl, a graphic designer from Glendale, was marching against Trump’s immigration crackdown on Sunday when she saw some of her fellow protesters spray-painting storefronts in Little Tokyo. So she contacted a few organizers, who reached out to business owners, along with the Japanese American Museum, to offer volunteer clean-up services. Many accepted, she said. While scrubbing nail polish remover pads against the window of a sushi restaurant on Tuesday, Jekarl said the majority of protesters were focused on stopping deportations in their community, not sowing chaos “People are singing, people are dancing, people are helping each other clean their...

    Border Patrol Agents in California arrested groups of migrants suspected of involvement in a sophisticated theft scheme involving stolen department store gift cards, possession of fraudulent identity documents, and credit card skimming activities.

Early last week, Border Patrol agents near Indio, California, encountered five Chinese nationals at an interior Border Patrol immigration checkpoint. Agents found the migrants in possession of numerous stolen gift cards and 23 fraudulent Pennsylvania driver’s licenses....

    On May 27, 2025, President Donald Trump announced he would pardon Todd and Julie Chrisley, stars of the reality TV show Chrisley Knows Best. Known for their Southern charm, witty banter, and tight-knit family, the Chrisleys captured the hearts of millions. As outspoken conservatives and Trump supporters—a rarity in entertainment—they faced federal charges in 2022 for bank fraud and tax evasion, accused of defrauding Atlanta-area banks out of over $30 million and evading taxes. Todd received a 12-year sentence, and Julie was sentenced to seven years, with a combined $17.8 million in restitution. Their daughter, Savannah, has tirelessly advocated for...

George Nguyen, who is a homeowner in West Covina, California, was watering the hedges in his front yard after dark on Friday (April 25) when he noticed a light coming from one of the bushes. However, when Nguyen investigated further, he discovered that the light was coming from a well-hidden device — with a lens and a green light —...

    The first RICO racketeering charges against members and associates of the migrant terrorist group Tren de Aragua were filed this week in New York. A statement by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York said that the case is part of "Operation Take Back America," which it said is a "nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Justice Department to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime." According to the statement, the charges filed...

    In yet another troubling scandal, liberal judge James Boasberg, known for temporarily blocking President Trump’s deportations of violent Venezuelan gang members, faces fresh criticism after revelations linking his daughter to a far-left nonprofit that actively opposes stricter immigration enforcement and pockets millions of taxpayer dollars. Partners in Justice, the group for which Katherine Baosberg works, is a pro-illegal immigration NGO that receives over half of its funding from USAID and other government grants; it reportedly provides legal advice and representation to criminal illegal aliens; the judge’s woke daughter, Katharine Boasberg, is employed by Partners in Justice, a progressive nonprofit that...

    The world’s richest man is dying to figure out how lawmakers on Capitol Hill got “strangely wealthy” despite their comparatively modest public salaries. Speaking at a town hall in Wisconsin Sunday night, Elon Musk suggested that his team at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will investigate how certain members of Congress have achieved generational wealth. One attendee at the town hall had asked Musk if DOGE had uncovered evidence of funds wired from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). “They’ll [the government]...

    LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Thieves took eight Corvettes from the lot of a Kentucky automobile plant where the legendary muscle car is built, but officers recovered the vehicles and made an arrest, police said. The cars were taken from the GM Bowling Green Assembly plant in southern Kentucky, the home of the Chevrolet Corvette since the early 1980s. The eight cars were valued at $1.2 million, police said. Police said the thieves cut a fence at the plant to get the cars out. A man later arrested and charged with the theft of three cars said while being booked into...

    Security footage circulated on social media showed people waving pythons around in a Tennessee gas station in an apparent attempt to steal cannabis oil. Employees reported seeing the group of snake-wielding men and women inside the Citgo truck stop on Highway 138 in Denmark, a small town roughly 75 miles outside of Memphis. The Madison County Sheriff's Office, which provided photos of the March 4 incident, said the suspects were holding two pythons and stole about $400 worth of CBD oil, WREG reported. The video showed the men placing the snakes on the counter. One was completely coiled up, while...

    The Biden administration funneled at least $20 billion dollars into environmental groups, most of which had only recently been founded, The Post has discovered. In one case, former Vice President Kamala Harris handed over a check for nearly $7 billion to Bethesda, Maryland, based group Climate United Fund, which does not appear in the IRS’s charities database, and has no federal filings. The non-profit fund had only been incorporated in Delaware on November 30, 2023, according to public records, five months before Harris handed over the cash in April 2024. The Climate United Fund then announced “the historic investment” in...

    The main reason why the Left is freaking out over DOGE and President Donald Trump taking a chainsaw to USAID and federal spending is because he's cutting off the endless spigot of taxpayer money the Left used to fund and maintain its 'resistance' and hold onto political power. It's why the Left screams DOGE is not only making stuff up, but are filing lawsuits against it. They don't want the gravy train to end. But all their bloviating does is make Americans more likely to support DOGE and less likely to feel sorry for them, and this revelation certainly won't...
