This comes as the city of Portland and the state of Oregon recommit to their status as sanctuaries for illegal immigrants in the face of the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal migration.

Several illegal aliens involved with the Tren de Aragua terror group were apprehended in Portland, Oregon, during a high-risk operation involving the illicit sales of drugs, firearms, and ammunition. The suspects, who were originally residing in Chicago, are believed to have moved to Portland just over a month ago in response to immigration enforcement operations increasing in the Windy City, federal investigators say.

US Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) breached a Portland apartment unit the group was suspected of using as a “stash house” on October 24, taking the ringleader into custody, along with seven other accomplices, all of whom are illegally present in the United States and have suspected ties to Tren de Aragua, according to authorities.

Five states and Washington, D.C., funneled more than $1.35 billion in federal taxpayer Medicaid funding to illegals, according to a preliminary audit of the program completed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

CMS Administrator Dr. Mehemet Oz posted the results of the preliminary audit on social media showing California, D.C., Illinois, Washington, Colorado, and Oregon spent millions each on illegals, with California spending the bulk, topping over $1.3 billion alone.

That money, according to Oz, was spent “just in the last few months.”

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard noted during a Saturday morning Fox News interview that the recent capture of a notorious Mexican drug cartel boss by President Donald Trump’s administration shows Trump’s “seriousness” and that he is “not messing around” on the issue.

Gabbard’s office announced Tuesday the Oct. 15 arrest of Sinaloa Cartel Plaza Boss Leonardo Daniel “El Pato” Martinez Vera, who allegedly led an operation which took part in a range of crimes including kidnapping and murder.

“Fox & Friends Weekend” co-host Griff Jenkins asked Gabbard if El Pato’s arrest — made possible due to intelligence collected by the ODNI’s National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) — sends a message to “the plaza bosses who have run our southern border under the Biden administration.”

“Yes, it’s very significant. This operation — I would love to tell you about how it was carried out,” Gabbard answered.

“Because our folks, who are working now without pay because of the Democrats’ government shutdown, worked tirelessly to get this guy arrested and behind bars, but also the public messaging that we did on behalf of President Trump shows his seriousness.”

 

Texas Moves to Ban In-State Tuition for Illegal Aliens– slaynews.com

Blurb:

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has adopted new rules to ban illegal alien students from receiving in-state tuition rates.

The move was taken to comply with a court ruling compelling the board to do so.

The Trump administration sued Texas to get the change, saying that parts of its education law conflicted with federal law pertaining to illegal immigrants.

“In direct and express conflict with federal law, Texas education law specifically allows an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States to qualify for in-state tuition based on residence within the state, while explicitly denying resident-based tuition rates to U.S. citizens that do not qualify as Texas residents,” the administration argued.

The U.S. Military has carried out its first strike against a drug cartel boat in the Pacific Ocean. The attack, which took place on Monday, was announced in a bulletin posted by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on X.

Yesterday, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel being operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization and conducting narco-trafficking in the Eastern Pacific.  The vessel was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking transit route, and carrying narcotics. There were two narco-terrorists aboard the vessel during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. Both terrorists were killed and no U.S. forces were harmed in this strike. Narco-terrorists intending to bring poison to our shores, will find no safe harbor anywhere in our hemisphere. Just as Al Qaeda waged war on our homeland, these cartels are waging war on our border and our people. There will be no refuge or forgiveness—only justice.

By law, only U.S. citizens are allowed to register to vote in U.S. elections, but an election watchdog group, the American Accountability Foundation (AAF), looked into voter registration in states where Roberts previously lived and found he registered to vote as a Democrat twice, once in 2011 and again in 2016.

It raises questions about how many other illegal aliens or otherwise ineligible people have successfully registered to vote. As AAF president Tom Jones told Fox 45, “We can’t rely on the honor system to hope that illegal aliens won’t lie to us.”

Key Takeaways

  • 22 U.S. states provide in-state tuition for illegal immigrant students, with 18 of these states also offering additional financial aid, despite federal restrictions established by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996.
  • The Trump administration has challenged these state policies via lawsuits, citing the need to enforce existing laws prohibiting residency-related benefits for illegal immigrants.
  • Critics of the legal challenges claim that denying in-state tuition undermines state economies and education systems, as it restricts access to affordable education for a significant number of students.

Pro-Migration Groups Push Pope Leo XIV to Cheerlead for Mass Migration– www.breitbart.com

Pope Leo XIV is being lobbied by Catholic bishops and nuns to endorse more migration flows, regardless of the vast civic and economic damage inflicted on citizens, Western societies, and the migrants’ home countries.

So far, the Pope is responding with generalities without detailed policy implications or direct opposition to Trump’s popular deportation of illegal migrants,

“In the communities of ancient Christian tradition, such as those of the West, the presence of many brothers and sisters from the world’s South should be welcomed as an opportunity, through an exchange that renews the face of the Church,” the Pope declared on October 5.

“Often [migrants] maintain their strength while seeking a better future, in spite of the obstacles that they encounter,” Leo said Oct. 2 in a meeting with Catholic migration advocates.

“You can read into [his comments] what you want when it comes to specifics of government policy, responded Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which favors lower levels of migration into Americans’ society.

The mistake that people — both in and outside the Catholic Church or any other church, — is that they imagine that the lessons of the Gospel and of the Fathers of the Church are somehow a 10-Point white paper on how we should run [immigration] policy. In fact they [provide] general rules about how to think about these questions, and different people will come to different conclusions.

After a visit to the city on Tuesday, FBI Director Kash Patel revealed that over 110,000 gang members are currently roaming the streets of Chicago, a city long plagued by corruption, lawlessness, and political cowardice.

That means roughly 4% of Chicago’s 2.7 million residents are active gang members, about one gang member for every 24 people living in the city.

“We learned that the Chicago city streets have 110,000 gang members. That’s right. You heard me right. They had 1,200 shootings this year alone, 360 homicides,” Patel said during an interview with Hannity.

Patel’s statement paints a chilling picture of a city spiraling out of control under liberal policies that prioritize optics over safety. Despite decades of Democrat rule, Chicago continues to be one of the most dangerous cities in America.

In his remarks, Patel credited President Donald Trump for empowering federal law enforcement to act decisively where local leaders have failed:

Fully embracing anarchy, Democrat leaders in Chicago, a sanctuary city; and in Illinois, a sanctuary state, are using every possible method to thwart federal immigration authorities from removing illegal aliens and curtailing rampant crime there.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson issued an executive order Monday creating an ICE Free Zone, preventing ICE from using city property, such as parking lots, as staging areas, or for enforcement actions. City agencies are directed to use physical barriers like locked gates to limit access to city property, and report to the mayor any attempted use of city property for immigration enforcement. Chicago taxpayers will fund a city-wide distribution of “Know Your Rights” materials for employees, tenants, and security staff, training them to deal with federal agents wishing to use city property.

Gov. JB Pritzker announced the state filed a lawsuit Monday seeking a temporary restraining order to block President Donald Trump from using Illinois and Texas National Guard troops to manage crime in Chicago.

“Illinois is going to use every lever at our disposal to resist this power grab and get (DHS Sec. Kristi) Noem’s thugs hell out of Chicago,” Pritzker said in a Monday afternoon press conference. He also said several times that Texas troops should, “stay the hell out of Illinois.”

Over the weekend, Oct. 4, Border Patrol agents were conducting a patrol in Chicago when their vehicle was rammed by other vehicles and they were boxed in by 10 cars, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) statement.

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump has finally named the enemy: Mexican drug cartels. Declaring them unlawful combatants and recognizing a “non-international armed conflict” marks one of the most consequential national security shifts in modern history.

For decades, Washington treated cartel violence as a crime — a problem for prosecutors, not generals. Indictments were filed, assets seized, and sanctions imposed. But the cartels fought a different kind of war, one that combined terror, intelligence, and territorial control. Calling it “crime” guaranteed defeat.

We refused to define the cartels as belligerents — and fought the wrong fight.

According to the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project, Mexico ranks among the world’s most violent conflict zones — behind only Palestine, Myanmar, and Syria. It is also the second-most dangerous country for civilians. Those numbers are not from a failed state overseas. They come from our southern border, where cartel wars spill into American communities daily.

‘This is SICK. He is aiding and abetting criminal illegal immigrant killers, rapists, traffickers, and gang bangers.’

“Today we are signing an executive order aimed at reining in this out-of-control administration,” Johnson said. “The order establishes ICE-free zones. That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as staging grounds for these raids.”

He went on to say that the city would take further steps to stop federal operations if Immigration and Customs Enforcement escalated its efforts.

A federal judge in Massachusetts denied a request for an injunction sought by two “sanctuary cities” in the state — Chelsea and Somerville — that sought to bar the Trump Administration from withholding federal funds due to their support for illegal aliens.

Somerville and Chelsea had requested a preliminary injunction in June, arguing that the targeting of cities and towns over their “sanctuary” policies — which openly defy federal immigration law by barring local authorities from working with immigration agents — is unconstitutional and at odds with advice from local law enforcement, according to a report from the Boston Herald.

The cities have also claimed that if the federal government withheld funds while their legal challenges were ongoing, there would be “irreparable harm” to municipal services.

U.S. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton indicated that he was not buying those arguments when he denied the request for an injunction on Friday. In his Judge Gorton noted that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) “has not frozen any particular funding, denied any grant application or withheld any reimbursement from plaintiffs.”

The US Supreme Court on Friday allowed President Trump to end the Biden-era protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans.

The decision was 6-3. All three liberal justices dissented.

Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson fumed in her dissent. “I cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference with cases pending in the lower courts while lives hang in the balance, I dissent,” Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote. “We once again use our equitable power (but not our opinion-writing capacity) to allow this Administration to disrupt as many lives as possible, as quickly as possible,” Jackson added.

NBC reported:

The Supreme Court on Friday paved the way for the Trump administration to revoke temporary legal status for up to 600,000 Venezuelan immigrants, meaning some could ultimately be deported.

The court granted an emergency request filed by the Trump administration seeking to block a judge’s ruling that said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem failed to follow the correct process in revoking Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans.

The Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, in May granted an earlier emergency request filed by the Trump administration in the same case.

The latest filing came after California-based U.S. District Judge Edward Chen on Sept. 5 again ruled against the administration, this time in the form of a final decision rather than a preliminary one.
