Trump Deportations

California has delayed its cancellation of thousands of commercial driver’s licenses held by migrants, setting it up for another showdown with Washington.

The Department of Motor Vehicles announced on Tuesday that the 17,000 migrant truck drivers whose licenses had been revoked can now keep them for 60 more days, which could enable the drivers to retake tests and do whatever is necessary to remain legal.

“Commercial drivers are an important part of our economy — our supply chains don’t move, and our communities don’t stay connected without them,” said DMV Director Steve Gordon in a statement after the extension.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy reacted by threatening to cut $160 million in federal funding to California if the state doesn’t meet the Jan. 5 deadline to revoke unvetted foreign trucker licenses.

The US military struck five alleged drug-smuggling boats over two days, killing a total of eight people while others jumped overboard and may have survived, US Southern Command said in a social media post on Thursday.

Southern Command, which oversees South America, did not reveal where the attacks on Tuesday and Wednesday occurred.

Previous similar attacks have taken place in the Caribbean Sea and in the eastern Pacific Ocean.

A Somali-born Democrat politician and daycare owner in Minnesota is returning to electoral politics even as the state’s childcare sector faces a sprawling fraud scandal that has drawn national scrutiny and could total billions of dollars.

Abdi Daisane, a Democrat, announced on Christmas Eve that he plans to run for the state Legislature again in 2026.

The announcement comes two years after he lost a race to a Republican incumbent.

Daisane previously ran unsuccessfully for the St. Cloud City Council in 2016.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s (R) office downplayed the significance of alleged Somali fraud occurring in the state, equating massive amounts of fraud to stores dealing with shoplifting.

While DeWine has indicated that the state “has strong safeguards in place to prevent fraud in the state’s publicly funded childcare system,” Dan Tierney, a spokesman for DeWine, used grocery stores as an example to point out that getting fraud as “close to zero as possible” would likely never happen, according to Cleveland.com.

Democrats and the corporate media rushed to defend Somalis throughout the end of 2025 as reports emerged that they committed widespread fraud in Minnesota.

Federal prosecutors charged dozens of Somalis with stealing over $9 billion of taxpayer money intended for social services, including the nonprofit Feeding Our Future.

As more details have emerged about their fraudulent actions, Democrats accused President Donald Trump and conservatives of using Somalis as scapegoats and expressed their support for the population.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has warned that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz must appear before Congress to answer questions about alleged large-scale fraud involving state-funded daycare and social programs, noting that failure to show up would effectively serve as an “admission to guilt.”

“I think it’s very likely [Walz will appear],” Comer told Fox News’s “The Sunday Briefing.”

“We’ve asked not only Gov. Walz, but also Attorney General Ellison, both of whom were in Congress, who I served with in Congress, so they know the rules of Congress.

Democrat U.S. Senate candidates in Minnesota are facing severe blowback as the state reels from a jaw-dropping $9 billion money laundering scandal that is shaking up the political landscape as the saga continues to unfold.

This staggering Somali-led fraud scheme, uncovered by prosecutors, has siphoned off billions in public funds.

The scandal is now casting a dark shadow over the state’s Democrat leadership as the 2026 U.S. Senate race heats up.

According to Rep. Ilhan Omar, ICE pulled over her son. But if this were true, why is it not true? Because ICE has the receipts, and there are, in fact, none. They have zero record of this incident occurring. So, it’s unclear if she’s delusional or lying, but yes, both can be true.

According to Omar, her son was pulled over by ICE officers at Target and asked to prove he was a citizen of this great nation. She claims that he was released once he showed them his passport.

However, Acting Director Todd Lyons said there is “absolutely zero record of its officers or agents pulling over Congresswoman Omar’s son” and claimed she is “unfairly demonizing our law enforcement officers.”

And while only one of these people can logically be telling the truth, my money is on the latter explanation. What do you think?

According to CBS:

“Yesterday, after he made a stop at Target, he did get pulled over by [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] agents, and once he was able to produce his passport ID, they did let him go,” Omar said in an interview with Esme Murphy on WCCO Sunday Morning.

President Donald Trump added countries to a list that restricts nationals from traveling to the U.S.

“The United States must exercise extreme vigilance during the visa-issuance and immigration processes to identify, prior to their admission or entry into the United States, foreign nationals who intend to harm Americans or our national interests,” Trump declared. “The United States Government must ensure that admitted aliens do not intend to threaten its citizens; undermine or destabilize its culture, government, institutions, or founding principles; or advocate for, aid, or support designated foreign terrorists or other threats to our national security.”

The move comes days after two terrorists killed 16 people celebrating Hanukkah in Sydney, Australia.

If you’re listening to the mainstream media, you’ll likely hear Kilmar Abrego Garcia referred to as the “Maryland father” — not an illegal alien gang member.

“They’ll leave out the fact that he is, of course, an alleged MS-13 gang member and human trafficker. He’s just a Maryland father. I mean, it’s just that there’s, like, minor details of gang-related activity and minor details of human trafficking,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says sarcastically.

“It’s been a long journey with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, but he of course was released from immigration detention yesterday back into the United States,” she adds.

An Obama-appointed judge, Paula Xinis, said federal authorities had detained him again after his return to the United States “without any legal basis.”

“You mean to tell me, Mrs. Obama-appointed judge, that there is not a legal basis to detain an illegal immigrant?” Gonzales asks.

“That’s the legal basis. He’s here illegally, and we need to detain him so we can remove him. Otherwise why have any laws at all?” she adds.

The Trump administration blasted U.S. District Judge Judith Levy over the weekend for her “truly wicked” praise and deferential treatment of a predator who stole into the United States multiple times and brutalized an American citizen.

Edys Renan Membreño Díaz, a 30-year-old Honduran national, is presently serving between six and 15 years in a Michigan state prison for raping and sodomizing a woman he knew was incapable of giving consent, who has cerebral palsy and cognitive delays. Díaz, who moved to Michigan in 2021, raped the victim on two occasions: on July 15 and July 17, 2022, leaving her with injuries.

“I became a citizen actually before I turned 18. My father became a citizen and so I got my citizenship through that process,” Omar has claimed.

A former Congressional candidate in Minnesota has raised concerns about Rep Ilhan Omar’s naturalization to the US, saying that the Democrat lawmaker lied about her birth year.

Speaking with Alpha News’ Liz Collin, AJ Kern said that in 2019, “I was looking at something about Ilhan Omar on the internet, and it occurred to me to look at her birth year. I don’t know why, or birthday, and so I used an age calculator and found out that she was actually 18 in the year 2000 when her father became eligible to apply for citizenship. She claimed that she became a citizen at the age of 17.

It’s a day that ends in “-y,” which means that America’s propaganda media have further discredited themselves by perpetuating yet another bogus hoax about Republicans.

Throughout the past week, these so-called “defenders of democracy” and their Democrat allies have been salivating at an anonymously sourced Washington Post hit piece against War Secretary Pete Hegseth. As The Federalist’s Brianna Lyman summarized, the gist of this little hatchet job is that Hegseth supposedly “’gave a spoken directive’ to ‘kill everybody’ after a Sept. 2 strike left two smugglers ‘clinging to the smoldering wreck’” in the Caribbean.

The implication, of course, is that Hegseth is guilty of wrongdoing and alleged “war crimes” — a term Democrats quickly latched onto to (once again) call for the war secretary’s resignation. (The Post’s article conveniently came days after several Democrat lawmakers fomented fears about the Pentagon giving “illegal orders” to U.S. service members.)

But as Americans have come to learn in the days since the Post’s “bombshell” dropped, all signs point to the hit piece being — wait for it — complete garbage.

In a surprise move, The New York Times — yes that hoax-peddling New York Timespublished a story contradicting the Post’s central reported claim that Hegseth ordered military officials to “kill everybody” aboard the suspected drug-smuggling vessel. According to five U.S. officials who spoke with the outlet, while Hegseth ordered the strike on the boat, his “directive did not specifically address what should happen if a first missile turned out not to fully accomplish all of those things” and “was not a response to surveillance footage showing that at least two people on the boat survived the first blast.”

The Post’s shoddy “reporting” took yet another hit when ABC News’ Martha “Do You Hear Yourself?” Raddatz dropped this pretty significant nugget of information on Wednesday evening:

And tonight, new information: According to a source familiar with the incident, the two survivors climbed back on to the boat after the initial strike. They were believed to be potentially in communication with others, and salvaging some of the drugs. Because of that, it was determined they were still in the fight and valid targets. A JAG officer was also giving legal advice.

The more than 600,000 illegal immigrants who have been deported under President Donald Trump represent just a fraction of those who have left the United States, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

More than 2.5 illegal immigrants have left the United States in the roughly 11 months of the Trump administration, according to a Department of Homeland Security news release.

The agency has deported 605,000 illegal immigrants, the release said.

“DHS has prioritized removing the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens as part of the Trump Administration’s efforts to return law and order to the United States,” the release said.

The release said 1.9 million illegal immigrants have self-deported since Trump took office on Jan. 20.

The Department of Homeland Security has offered to fly illegal immigrants who voluntarily self-deport back to their home countries.

While taking questions from reporters at the White House President Donald Trump reiterated his administration’s intent to pursue land-based military actions against drug trafficking networks in Venezuela.

“We’re going to start doing those strikes on land, too. You know, the land is much easier, much easier. And we know the routes they take. We know everything about them. We know where they live. We know where the bad ones live, and we’re going to start that very soon too,” the president told reporters.

The president’s comments build on similar remarks made earlier in the week and underscores an escalation from maritime interdictions to potential operations on Venezuelan soil.

House Democrats are increasingly taking aim at Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem as they criticize the Trump administration’s hard-line immigration policies during a Thursday hearing, where lawmakers called for her impeachment and resignation multiple times.

Noem testified before the House Homeland Security Committee about worldwide threats facing the nation. Democrats took the opportunity to chastise the Cabinet secretary for leading the Department of Homeland Security in carrying out the president’s mass deportation agenda.

During her line of questioning, Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) alleged that Noem misused resources appropriated by Congress, engaged in unethical behavior, made false and misleading statements to Congress, and evaded congressional oversight. The congresswoman cited these reasons to justify why Noem should exit office, either willingly or involuntarily.

The Biden administration allowed nearly 20,000 known or suspected terrorists into the United States, the Trump administration can now confirm.

The National Counterterrorism Center’s (NCTC) Director Joe Kent revealed the horrifying statistic at a Thursday hearing: “So far, NCTC has identified around 18,000 known and suspected terrorists that the Biden administration let come into our country.” That alone ought to be enough to destroy the Democrat Party, but unfortunately, Democrat voters are too far gone into insanity. Kent specifically referenced the Afghan whom Biden brought in who killed National Guardsman Sarah Beckstrom in D.C. last month.

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the release of Salvadoran migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia from federal custody, delivering a sharp rebuke to the Trump administration in a case that has ricocheted across borders and courtrooms for nearly 10 months.

U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ruled that Abrego Garcia must be freed from the ICE Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Pennsylvania, saying the administration had failed to secure the required final notice of removal that would allow him to be deported to a third country, including several African nations previously floated by federal officials.

“Since Abrego Garcia’s return from wrongful detention in El Salvador, he has been re-detained, again without lawful authority,” Xinis said in her order. “For this reason, the Court will GRANT Abrego Garcia’s Petition for immediate release from ICE custody.”

Xinis had grilled Justice Department lawyers last month during a lengthy evidentiary hearing, pushing them to prove that a final removal order existed. DOJ attorney Drew Ensign argued that a 2019 immigration judge had effectively “meant” to issue such an order. Xinis dismissed that argument outright, stating, “No such order of removal exists for Abrego Garcia.”

The Justice Department is expected to appeal, as Ensign signaled in earlier proceedings.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer once again has blocked President Donald Trump from deploying the National Guard to Los Angeles, CA.

“Six months after they first federalized the California National Guard, Defendants still retain control of approximately 300 Guardsmen, despite no evidence that execution of federal law is impeded in any way—let alone significantly,” wrote Breyer. “What’s more, Defendants have sent California Guardsmen into other states, effectively creating a national police force made up of state troops.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other plaintiffs filed a motion to enjoin this conduct. The Trump administration took “the position that, after a valid initial federalization, all subsequent re federalizations are completely, and forever, unreviewable by the courts.”

The “Defendants’ position is contrary to law,” stated Breyer.

Okay, so here’s the background because this is the third time Breyer issued this ruling.

In June, Breyer ruled that Trump’s order violated the 10th Amendment and exceeded his statutory authority.

“The sanctuary politicians in Washington failed once again to protect American citizens by refusing to honor our ICE arrest detainer.”

A criminal illegal alien with a long record of DUIs, drugs, and two prior deportations was released back onto the streets of Washington state after allegedly causing a six-car pileup involving a school bus while driving a semi-truck without a license, even though federal immigration authorities had lodged a detainer and requested custody.

The US Department of Homeland Security announced that ICE filed an immigration detainer for Juan Hernandez-Santos, a Mexican national accused of causing the December 4 wreck in Lacey, Washington, when the 18-wheeler he was driving slammed into another vehicle, triggering a multi-car chain reaction that included a school bus on I-5 near Martin Road. Because of Washington’s sanctuary policies, local authorities refused to honor the ICE detainer and released him instead of transferring him to federal custody.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Friday that more than 400 illegal aliens have been arrested in the Charlotte, North Carolina, area as part of an ongoing federal operation targeting criminal offenders who were previously released under local “sanctuary” policies.

“This immigration enforcement surge in the Charlotte area has led to the arrest of over 425 illegal aliens since operations started,” the spokesperson confirmed.

The Pentagon on Thursday night shared video footage of what was the 22nd strike on drug-trafficking vessels operating off the coast pf Venezuela since September. The latest strike comes as Democrat lawmakers have repeatedly accused the Trump Administration of “war crimes” over the strikes.

Prior to Thursday’s strike, U.S. forces had carried out 21 maritime strikes in the Caribbean, resulting in 83 confirmed deaths according to Pentagon figures and independent tracking. The operations have relied primarily on MQ-9 drones and naval assets to destroy high-speed vessels departing Venezuelan waters.

Thursday’s strike targeted a drug boat operating in the Eastern Pacific, the Pentagon announced in a press release.

“On Dec. 4, at the direction of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel in international waters operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization,” the Pentagon announced. “Intelligence confirmed that the vessel was carrying illicit narcotics and transiting along a known narco-trafficking route in the Eastern Pacific. Four male narco-terrorists aboard the vessel were killed.”

President Donald Trump hosted a Cabinet meeting at the White House Tuesday, where Secretary of War Pete Hegseth gave a spirited defense of the much debated military strikes on a drug-trafficking vessel in the Caribbean on September 2.

The Washington Post reported on Friday that Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” before the strikes on the “suspected drug boats.” After two men allegedly survived the initial strike, according to the Post’s sources, the mission commander ordered a second strike to take them out to comply with Hegseth’s directive. “The two men were blown apart in the water, the Post reported.

Democrats contend that the second strike to take out the survivors could have been a violation of the laws of war.

Amid talk of potential war crimes, the New York Times on Monday reported additional details refuting the Washington Post’s version of events, clarifying that Hegseth had ordered the attack, but not the killing of survivors.

A homeless illegal alien who had previously been deported from the United States on two separate occasions was arrested after stabbing a man on a light rail line in Charlotte, North Carolina. The vicious assault comes as the city is still reeling from the brutal murder of Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee who was fatally stabbed by a homeless man with an extensive criminal history.

Oscar Solarzano was arrested on charges of first-degree attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon causing serious injury, breaking and entering, carrying a concealed weapon and being intoxicated and disruptive, according to a report from the New York Post. He is currently being held without bond.

Solarzano, 33, allegedly charged onto  the Charlotte light rail on Friday evening before viscously stabbing the victim with a large knife, police said. The Honduran illegal alien allegedly broke onto the train, while intoxicated, before starting a fight with the victim and ultimately stabbing him, causing serious injuries,

The victim was hospitalized with serious injuries at Novant Health Presbyterian Hospital in stable condition, ABC News reported. His address on court records matches that of a homeless shelter in Charlotte.

Detroit is synonymous with autos, Los Angeles with motion pictures, and Texas with oil. Pittsburgh still conjures steel. When a product or service anchors a region’s economy, that sector has power. Politicians court industry. Industry demands representation and, ideally, protection.

What’s true regionally is just as true nationally. That’s why K Street exists and lobbyists make big bucks. Fortunes rise and fall, but if our GDP slips even 3%, the usual talking heads sprint to the cameras to declare the American economy on the verge of collapse — and always under whichever Republican is in office. When a Democrat presides over a faltering economy, the political media prefers to drive the getaway car.

Harassing users did nothing to stop the poison. Blowing up supply at sea does. Every sunken shipment dents the cartels’ profits. Every explosion represents a tangible loss.

If any of us invented a product that added 3% to national GDP, we’d enjoy the influence over policy and legislation that naturally comes with living in a representative republic with a market economy. Innovation and competition fuel prosperity.
