Agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are ramping up their efforts to detain and deport illegal immigrants. In response, some lawmakers are expressing fierce opposition. One such figure is Representative Rosa DeLauro, a Democrat from Connecticut, known for her progressive stances and distinctive purple hair. Recently, DeLauro went on the offensive following a report on X claiming she would not commit to cutting ICE funding.

Democratic senators are showing signs of panic as President Trump moves closer to potentially indicting Sen. Adam Schiff for alleged mortgage fraud linked to his Maryland residence. This anxiety is evident among party members, especially following Trump’s public request for Attorney General Pam Bondi to take action against Schiff. The tension escalates as the former president’s vocal critics gather to defend their own positions.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) has made headlines with his threat to block President Donald Trump’s nominees for the Federal Reserve, all in response to a Department of Justice investigation into Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. This latest move by Tillis comes as he prepares to retire, raising questions about his motivations and the implications for the future of the Federal Reserve. On January 11, Powell revealed in a video statement that he is under investigation by the DOJ for allegedly making false statements to Congress regarding the costly renovations of the Federal Reserve’s buildings.

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs finds herself entangled in serious allegations involving a pay-for-play scheme, a claim she confirmed during a recent live television interview. This investigation, launched by Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, also a Democrat, stems from concerns over how state funds were allocated, particularly involving Sunshine Residential Homes Inc. The crux of the issue lies with the Arizona Department of Child Safety (ADCS), which reportedly approved a substantial 60% increase in what Sunshine Residential Homes could charge for daily care while denying similar rate hikes to other service providers. Critics have pointed to Sunshine’s hefty $400,000 donation to…

The tragic story of Katie Abraham, a 20-year-old killed by an illegal immigrant, raises serious questions about the effectiveness and implications of sanctuary policies in states like Illinois. The personal connection in this narrative amplifies the message: it speaks not only to the broader issue of public safety, but to the emotional toll these policies can inflict on families and communities. Katie’s death, resulting from a collision with an unlicensed, intoxicated driver, underscores a painful reality. As her father describes it, there were no media frenzies, no public outcry, and no politicians rallying support for justice when his daughter lost…
If you caught the recent Sunday Night Football game or the glitzy Golden Globes, you might have noticed a stark contrast between sports and award shows. While one celebrated athletic prowess, the other morphed into a parade of self-righteous gestures from Hollywood’s elite. Celebrities donned “Be Good” pins at the Golden Globes in memory of Renée Good, who tragically lost her life attempting to hit an ICE agent with her vehicle in Minneapolis. This moment sparked both applause and eye rolls, particularly among those on the political right. The display reflected a wider trend of performative gestures within Hollywood—a gesture…
According to a recent White House post, the impact of ICE deportations under President Trump is manifesting in a noticeable drop in housing costs across the United States. Data highlights that home listing prices fell in 14 of the nation’s top 20 metro areas, which are known for significant illegal migrant populations. Meanwhile, places labeled as sanctuary cities witnessed only slight price increases. This sharp contrast showcases the connection between migration policies and housing market trends. For instance, the situation in San Antonio demonstrates significant rental price drops. This aligns with an overabundance of apartment units constructed for migrants. In…
The recent detention of Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez by ICE reveals a deep divide in perspectives on immigration enforcement. It underscores tensions between federal policies and local responses from city leaders in New York. This incident highlights critical issues surrounding legal immigration status and the broader implications for public servants. On January 12, 2026, Bohorquez, a 53-year-old data analyst for the New York City Council, was apprehended during what was described as a routine immigration appointment in Nassau County. According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Bohorquez overstayed a 2017 tourist visa and lacked work authorization. He also had…
The recent decision by the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali nationals marks a significant shift in policy, affecting nearly 2,500 individuals who have sought refuge in the United States. This policy change, effective March 17, 2026, is rooted in claims of improved conditions in Somalia and prioritizes the interests of Americans, as articulated by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. She stressed, “temporary means temporary,” underscoring the administration’s commitment to a strict interpretation of TPS. Noem’s assertion comes at a time when tensions are high in Minnesota, home to about 600 of the affected…
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons painted a stark picture of the challenges faced by federal immigration agents during an appearance on Fox News. In his comments, he referenced a recent incident in San Antonio where a suspected illegal migrant attempted to flee by ramming cars—a scenario he argues illustrates the escalating violence against ICE personnel. Lyons underscored that this isn’t an isolated event but part of a troubling trend. “When we hear elected officials calling upon individuals to impede or obstruct ICE law enforcement operations nationwide, you’re going to see incidents like this,” he stated, directly linking political rhetoric to…
Recent allegations against legendary Spanish singer Julio Iglesias have sent shockwaves through the public and entertainment world.

Rebecca stated that Iglesias would often…
Senator Elissa Slotkin finds herself in a legal predicament that has stirred significant controversy. The investigation, led by federal prosecutors, follows her public advice to military personnel to resist what she termed “illegal orders” from President Trump.

In a November video that quickly went viral, Slotkin, joined by several Democratic lawmakers, stated, “You can refuse illegal orders” and “You must refuse illegal orders.” The senator, who previously served as a CIA analyst, organized this provocative message, attempting to rally military members against directives issued by the President and Secretary of…
Zohran Mamdani, the newly elected mayor of New York City, is making headlines for his vehement reaction to the detention of a city council staffer. The staffer, Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez, is accused of assault and was detained for overstaying his 2017 tourist visa.

Mamdani did not hold back in his criticism.…
Jon Stewart’s recent defense of a dangerous act on his ‘Daily Show’ has sparked considerable outrage. During a segment discussing law enforcement and protests, Stewart labeled the actions of Renee Good—a woman who accelerated her vehicle toward an ICE agent—as a “small act of defiance.” This characterization stands in stark contrast to the reality of a potentially fatal situation for the officer involved, as well as for Good herself, who tragically lost her life following the incident. In presenting Good’s behavior as merely naive resistance, Stewart obscures the severity of her actions. The act of aiming a two-thousand-pound vehicle at…

The school claims this was done to protect her from what it described as harassment, though no specific…
In reflecting on immigration policy under past administrations, a clear contrast emerges between the Obama years and the current climate. In 2016, President Barack Obama’s administration actively used Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to deport individuals, including families. Despite the seriousness of these actions, they did not spark widespread outrage or protests. Mainstream media coverage was far more measured, lacking the intense emotional rhetoric seen in today’s political landscape. Josh Earnest, who served as White House press secretary under Obama, articulated the administration’s stance on immigration enforcement with clarity and composure. When questioned about deportation operations, he communicated that the…
Democrats find themselves in a precarious situation as the midterm elections approach. The party is cautioned against using the slogan “abolish ICE,” a stance that reflects their inner ambitions but could prove detrimental at the polls. This is reminiscent of the “defund the police” movement, which hurt Democrats politically despite its initial intention. The fear is that echoing “abolish ICE” will further alienate the party from Americans who prioritize national security and border enforcement. The concern about the phrase “abolish ICE” stems from the perception that Democrats prioritize the interests of illegal aliens over those of American citizens. Despite the…
Sen. Kevin Cramer, a Republican from North Dakota, is raising eyebrows with his recent suggestion that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell should resign. This proposal comes in light of an investigation launched by the Department of Justice into Powell’s honesty during congressional testimony about a costly renovation at the Fed’s Washington headquarters. Cramer believes that stepping down could lead to the DOJ dropping its probe. On FOX Business’ “Kudlow,” he voiced a legal strategy that draws attention for both its boldness and implications. Cramer’s commentary revealed a keen awareness of the political and legal landscape surrounding the Fed chair. He…
