Griswold Leads Democratic Secretaries of State Pressing DOJ and DHS Over Federal Use of Voter Data 

By Shaina Cole | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold is leading a group of Democratic election officials challenging the Trump administration over how federal agencies are using requested voter roll data. Their concerns are detailed in a four-page letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The U.S. Department of Justice issued requests earlier this year for state-wide voter registration lists from multiple states, including Colorado.  In several cases, DOJ asked for “the full, unredacted statewide voter registration list, including registrants’ dates of birth, state driver’s license numbers, and last four digits of Social Security numbers.” Colorado’s request is documented in a May 12 lette...

Colorado Kidnapping Suspect Arrested in Chicago After Months on the Run

By: Jennie Taer | The Daily Wire "It’s no surprise this career criminal chose to flee to sanctuary Chicago where he knows JB Pritzker will protect him from deportation." The sanctuary city of Chicago apparently provided a hiding place for an illegal immigrant who ran from the law in Colorado after a brutal kidnapping. Venezuelan illegal immigrant Jorman Jose Cuba-Zabala allegedly took part in the kidnapping and torture of a migrant couple on December 17, 2024, at an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado, that was taken over by members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua. The apartments, The Edge at Lowry, were also the site of a viral video where armed Tren de Aragua gang members were seen trying to force their way into units. Days after the kidn...

Armed man with fake police credentials stopped at Charlie Kirk memorial site

By Cassandra MacDonald | The Gateway Pundit Authorities detained a man at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Friday evening after he attempted to enter the venue while armed with a tactical knife, at least one firearm, and inactive law enforcement credentials. The stadium is scheduled to host the memorial service for assassinated conservative icon Charlie Kirk on Sunday morning. The massive memorial service is expected to draw over 100,000 attendees, including President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other members of the cabinet. The suspect, whose identity has not been released at this time, reportedly claimed affiliation with law enforcement and exhibited suspicious behavior that prompted action from security personnel. “The individual is not a member ...

ICE stops trafficking ring run by illegal aliens, saves 10 children

By Virginia Allen | The Daily Signal Immigration enforcement authorities rescued 27 human-trafficking victims in Nebraska last week. Among the victims Immigration and Customs Enforcement rescued were 10 children under the age of 12, according to the Department of Homeland Security.   “Our brave ICE law enforcement rescued these children and women, who were being sexually exploited and trafficked,” said Tricia McLaughlin, assistant DHS secretary.   The human-trafficking ring was being run by illegal aliens, according to the DHS.   President Donald Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem “will not allow children and women to be victims of these heinous human-trafficking rings,” McLaughlin said. “Our message to human traffickers is cle...

Colorado Mayor Backs ICE Facility to Revive Local Economy

By Ovie Westin | The Denver Gazette The mayor of Walsenburg, Colorado said he would welcome an immigration processing facility in his city, arguing it would boost the local economy, which took a hit when a correctional facility shut down more than a decade ago. Before its closure in 2010, the former Huerfano County Correctional Facility, which had a capacity to hold roughly 800 inmates, had provided the town with a steady source of income, as well as jobs for residents.  Mayor Gary Vezzani told The Denver Gazette that he did not know about the proposal to repurpose the Huerfano prison into an immigration processing facility beforehand; he had not been contacted by federal officials, he said. The beds could be doubled up or the facility would have to be expanded to match th...

DHS: Venezuelan gang member charged in Aurora killing entered U.S. illegally in 2023

By BorderHawkNews | BorderHawkNews An illegal alien with ties to Tren de Aragua who was released into the U.S. by the Biden regime has been charged with shooting his own wife and killing his sister-in-law in Colorado this week, according to authorities. The horrifying incident unfolded at around 3 a.m. on Sunday morning in Aurora, a Denver suburb flooded with Venezuelan gangbangers in recent years. Investigators believe Michel Jordan Castellano Fonseca, 30, became embroiled in a violent domestic dispute at an apartment before threatening to return with a firearm. Castellano Fonseca later forced his way back into the residence and shot two women believed to be his 30-year-old wife and her 26-year-old sister-in-law, the Aurora Police Department says. Five childr...

Tracking the untracked: The dangerous fallout of Biden’s broken migrant child system

By Shaina Cole | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice Each year, children continue to arrive at the southern border without anyone to look after them. They’re officially called unaccompanied alien children—or UACs—but behind that label are thousands of kids trying to navigate an immigration system meant for adults.  Many are handed off to sponsors with little vetting, and some end up trafficked, working illegal jobs, or worse. The surge in vulnerable children Back in the early 2000s, the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) was handling fewer than 8,000 unaccompanied kids a year. But that’s changed dramatically.  By 2022, that figure had climbed to over 128,000. The following year saw more than 113,000 children placed with sponsors across the U.S. As of Jul...

Hearing lays groundwork for GOP-led reform after 3-year immigration surge, 500K visa overstays

By Shaina Cole | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice The U.S. House Judiciary Committee held a hearing June 25 on visa security and legal immigration pathways, revisiting the Trump administration’s policies and examining how current enforcement gaps could be putting national security at risk. Republican lawmakers and expert witnesses repeatedly pointed to vulnerabilities in the visa system and criticized relaxed vetting protocols. “The purpose of today’s hearing is to determine to what extent our legal immigration system has been exploited, abused, and defrauded,” said Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., “and to recommend measures to assure that legal immigration to the United States is legitimate, honest, fully vetted, and above board.” Jessica Vaughn of the Center for Immigrati...

After Boulder firebombing, DHS revamps ICE tip line to stop future attacks

By Bryan Chai | The Western Journal After a horrific anti-Semitic attack last weekend, the Department of Homeland Security is “revamping” the way Americans can help prevent any future atrocities from happening again. On June 1, a peaceful pro-Israeli gathering calling for the continued release of hostages held by Hamas terrorists was violently attacked. A maniac wielding incendiary devices — the weapons have been described as both “flamethrower” and Molotov cocktail-like — attacked the group in Boulder, Colorado, injuring 12, two badly, in the process. Reports began circulating that the alleged perpetrator, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, was an Egyptian national who had overstayed his visa, making this a matter of national security, on top of it being a seeming hate crime. Due ...

Supreme Court allows Trump to strip protections from some Venezuelans; deportations could follow

By AP | Ap Via Breitbart WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to strip legal protections from 350,000 Venezuelans, potentially exposing them to deportation. The court’s order, with only one noted dissent, puts on hold a ruling from a federal judge in San Francisco that kept in place Temporary Protected Status for the Venezuelans that would have otherwise expired last month. The status allows people already in the United States to live and work legally because their native countries are deemed unsafe for return due to natural disaster or civil strife.
