Homan Says ICE Will Step In As TSA Staffing Crisis Grows

By Gage Jackson | Denver7 Since the partial government shutdown began more than a month ago, about 10% of TSA’s 50,000 security agents have called off work, leading to long lines at airports. U.S. border czar Tom Homan said Sunday that he has been tasked with deploying Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to U.S. airports as the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) continues to struggle with staffing shortages due to the ongoing partial government shutdown. Speaking on CNN's "State of the Union," Homan said the federal immigration agents won't replace TSA agents but can help with security and ease their workload. He added that the primary focus will be on "airports where the longest waits are." "We’re simply there to help TSA do t...

From bill to emergency order: The election fight moves beyond Congress

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice Senate Republicans opened debate Tuesday on a bill they say will secure American elections. But inside that same fight, a second path is already taking shape—one that doesn’t run through Congress at all. While lawmakers argue over the SAVE America Act and whether it can survive a Senate filibuster, some election-integrity advocates are pushing something far more aggressive: a proposed emergency order that would allow a president to step in and change how federal elections are run. RMV obtained a copy of that proposal—and spoke with one of the men now advocating for it. What’s emerging is not just a policy disagreement. It’s a split in approach. Congress is trying to answer the question through legislation. Others are asking wh...

Intelligence Community Knew in 2020 China Had Access to Voter Data

By John Solomon and Jerry Dunleavy | Just the News Hidden from lawmakers, new evidence emerges that the Biden White House knew that China accessed voter registration data as far back as 2020. But as a vote comes up on election security laws, legislators have been kept in the dark. The United States expressed outrage when Great Britain revealed two years ago that its voter registration databases were hacked by China in what became a global scandal. But it turns out the U.S. intelligence harbored its own secret at the time, knowing since 2020 that Beijing also gained access to American voter registration data, according to documents reviewed by Just the News and interviews with officials with direct knowledge. “[Redacted] Chinese intellige...

Minnesota Elections Official Acknowledges Noncitizens Could Cast Ballots Under Current Process

By Joseph Chalfant | Townhall We have been told for years that there is no need for stricter identification requirements in American elections. The Left has claimed that our elections are secured, and that the Right has simply lied about the issue, or they want to put up restrictions on women or minorities voting by instituting measures to prove citizens and identity before casting a ballot. When put on the record, it seems that those on the Left are finally telling the truth about the matter: illegals are easily able to vote in American elections. https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2033166704402944392?s=20 READ THE FULL ARTICLE AT TOWNHALL

Senate Fails to Advance DHS Funding Amid Partisan Divide Over Immigration Enforcement

By Kaia Hubbard | CBS News Washington — The Senate failed to advance a measure to fund the Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday, 11 days into a partial government shutdown with no apparent end in sight.  In a 50 to 45 vote, the measure fell short of the 60-vote threshold needed to move forward. The vote marked a second attempt to advance the measure and came after lawmakers returned to Washington following a weeklong recess without a deal to reform federal immigration agencies.  Congress' failure to reach an agreement on how to fund DHS prompted a funding lapse for the department, which also oversees the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Transportation Security Administration and the Coast Guard. The major sticking point has been o...

Colorado Congresswoman Diana DeGette Named in Epstein Correspondence

By Hannah Metzger | Westword Emails between Jeffrey Epstein and Barbro Ehnbom suggest a disturbing partnership between the convicted sex offender and the Swedish businesswoman; from Ehnbom sending Epstein a photo of a “little blond girl” who she thinks would be of his “taste,” to offering up her “brainy and sensual” project manager to be Epstein’s “wife choice this year.” Amid their correspondence, a surprising name arises time and time again: Diana DeGette. The Colorado congresswoman’s name appears in over a dozen emails between Epstein and Ehnbom sent from 2009 to 2016, according to documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice. Though there is no evidence that DeGette ever communicated with Epstein directly, his emails ...

Pressure Mounts on Senate GOP to Fight for the SAVE America Act

By Virginia Grace McKinnon | The Daily Signal Ahead of an expected vote on the SAVE America Act in the House, nearly 100 conservative leaders are urging the Senate to pass the election integrity measure using the talking filibuster. The SAVE America Act, an updated version of the SAVE Act, would secure America’s elections by requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and requiring voter identification. The bill, introduced by Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, in the House and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, in the Senate, is expected to pass the House this week. Conservatives are now calling on Senate Republicans to do everything in their power to pass this legislation. https://twitter.com/RepChipRoy/status/2017274977259798917?s=20 RE...

House GOP Forces Vote on Citizenship Checks and Photo ID for Voters

By John Solomon | Just the News House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said floor vote will force Democrats to declare where they stand on two election integrity items widely supported by Americans. The U.S. House of Representatives will vote next week on a new bill that would require all states to check both citizenship and photo identification before allowing voters to cast ballots, combining two widely popular election integrity provisions and ramping up pressure on a Senate that has been unwilling to consider either mandate. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., and Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, confirmed in an interview Wednesday evening with Just the News that the vote will be held next week for the Save America Act, which combines the two requirements t...

The measure passed with 42 defections: 21 Republicans voting against it and 21 Democrats voting for it. Hardline conservatives such as Reps.

Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, the chamber’s top Democrat appropriator, voted for the bill. Democrat leaders, such as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York and House Minority Whip Katherine Clark of Massachusetts, voted against the package. Beyond...
