Supreme Court Signals Doubt On Trump Push To End Birthright Citizenship

By Natalia Mittelstadt | Just the News “Birthright citizenship has been the rule for a very long time,” Justice Elena Kagan said. The Supreme Court on Wednesday mostly appeared skeptical of the Trump administration's argument to end birthright citizenship for babies born to parents who are not U.S. citizens. Solicitor Gen. D. John Sauer argued Wednesday before the high court, with President Trump in attendance, that birthright citizenship “rewards illegal immigration” and urged the justices to rule that the children of temporary visitors and illegal immigrants should not be deemed as citizens at birth, the Los Angeles Times reported. Most of the justices, on the 9-member bench, said the Constitution had been interpreted for more than a century to gra...

What’s missing: Questions raised about immigration details in Colorado crime coverage

By Cory Gaines | Commentary, Colorado Accountability Project Free State Colorado: our local media ignores the fact that a sex offender is here illegally In a funny coincidence I noticed a couple of stories, one national and one local, about essentially the same topic. They’re both about how the media has a problem with selective attention.* In particular to the two different stories, it’s how the lefty media ignore the illegal immigrants do in this country. The first link below is to a Fox News op ed about this topic, spurred (though not limited to) the murder of Sheridan Gorman in Chicago by an illegal immigrant. Especially noteworthy was just how little—see the image heading this post—time the big networks devoted to her murder and the man committing it. Closer...

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

FBI Affidavit Alleges Illegal Immigrant Voted In Five Presidential Elections Despite Deportation Order

By: Maisey Jefferson | The Federalist A noncitizen illegally present in the U.S. allegedly cast ballots in five presidential elections and falsely claimed to be a citizen when registering to vote, according to a document recently filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. An affidavit by FBI Special Agent Mickel McGann reveals that Mauritanian national Mahady Sacko was ordered to be deported in 2000.

Sacko also voted in the 2016 and 2020 primaries and, on each of the seven occasions, “falsely represented that he was a U.S. citizen,” according to the affidavit. M...

ICE Operations Hampered in Colorado and Minnesota After Activists Aid Child Rapist and Gang Member

By Alec Schemmel | Fox News FIRST ON FOX: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is detailing cases in which anti-ICE agitators actively helped criminal illegal immigrants evade federal arrest, including suspects accused of child rape, domestic abuse and gang-related violence. The cases point to a growing pattern of organized interference with federal immigration enforcement during recent ICE operations.  "These are the monsters that agitators and sanctuary politicians are protecting," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital. "We remind the public that obstructing law enforcement is a felony and a federal crime." According to DHS, members of the anti-ICE Colorado Rapid Response Network alerted Jo...

Colorado House Immigration Resolution Reveals Tension Over Sanctuary Policies and Taxpayer Burdens

By Marissa Ventrelli | Colorado Politics A joint resolution affirming lawmakers’ “commitment to Coloradans navigating the complex United States immigration system” sparked more than three hours of debate on the House Floor on Tuesday morning, reflecting the tension rising between Colorado and the Trump administration, which has traded barbs and lawsuits, underpinned by the former’s campaign to crackdown on illegal immigration and the latter’s “sanctuary” policies. At the outset, Colorado’s Democratic officials have signaled a confrontational stance vis-a-vis the Trump administration — the attorney general last month announced the launch of an online “tool” for Coloradans to report misconduct by federal agents, while the city of Denver is considering barring the wearing o...

CCP-Linked Activist Network Backs National Anti-ICE Strike

By Jerry Dunleavy | Just the News "No work, no school, no shopping." Anti-ICE efforts continue to ramp up in Minnesota, and a Chinese Communist Party-linked activist network is seeking to take the shutdown efforts nationwide. Acollection of far-left groups — led by a Communist activist network tied to CCP-linked millionaire Marxist Neville Roy Singham — is attempting to organize a nationwide anti-ICE school and business shutdown, with anti-Israel activist Linda Sarsour declaring that “we will bring this country to a halt.” The general strike effort, scheduled for this Friday, is an attempt to replicate a Minnesota-wide anti-ICE shutdown which occurred last Friday and which was organized by many of the same far-left groups — but now with designs to do so on a national...

Federal freeze targets childcare money in Colorado and four other states

By Emily Peck | Axios The Trump administration says it is freezing $10 billion in funds for child care and poor families in five blue states, the Office of Management and Budget confirmed to Axios Monday. Why it matters: The White House is pointing to reports of social services fraud in Minnesota to threaten funding for child care around the country. Child care providers are bracing for a slowdown in funds and the possibility of cuts that threaten their ability to operate. That could create wider issues, as millions of parents rely on child care to get to their jobs. Where it stands: Funds are being suspended for California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York, according to the New York Post, which earlier reported the news. The h...
