Trump Rolls Out Self-Funding Immigration Fee System With Tougher Enforcement

By Amanda Head | Just the News The new fees, including a $100 charge to apply for asylum and annual penalties for pending cases, also become a self-funding hammer to enforce stricter borders and deter abuse in a system that President Donald Trump has long derided as broken. On Wednesday, the Trump administration gave notice of the start of a sweeping array of new immigration fees, creating a no-lose scenario where the new fees either deter applicants from coming, thus reducing immigration, or they proceed with their application, putting more money into resources to scrutinize claims. The rollout, triggered by notices under last year's “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” signed last year, layers fresh costs onto everything from work permits for protection seekers to juv...

Has Trump kept his promises? You decide.

By Russ Minary | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice I am tired of uninformed people and ideologues who complain that the Trump administration is not getting things done. So, here is a list of some of his accomplishments in just his second term. NOTE: I am not a Trump fanboy nor a partisan ideologue; I am a conservative who values the truth. You may dislike or disagree with Mr. Trump or certain members of his cabinet, or some of the 56 items on this list (sourced from Jeff Childers in his Coffee&Covid blog) but it provides hard details for your consideration.  I’ve read it and found it to be fairly accurate. Of course, nitpickers who like to sort the fly crap out of the pepper may find a few insubstantial things to correct. My focus is on facts and results.  Y...

Trump Reveals Declassified Election Findings and Calls for SAVE America Act

By Amanda Head | Just the News The documents reportedly reveal that there was a concerted and conscientious effort by the IC not to tell the president (Trump at the time), Congress or the American people.

Trump Orders ICE Back to Traffic Stops as Agents Welcome Reversal

By Jennie Taer | The Daily Wire "Not sure how they don't consult Trump about this before they send out guidance to every field office." After just one day of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ordering officers to temporarily stop making traffic stops, President Donald Trump said he’d like them to resume, and federal immigration officers are cheering on his push. The pause on vehicle stops came in the wake of two fatal shootings of migrants by ICE officers in Houston and Maine. ICE said the Houston shooting involved a Mexican illegal immigrant who “weaponized” his vehicle against ICE officers. In the Biddeford, Maine, case, an officer fatally shot a Colombian man who “attempted to flee the scene” of a traffic stop. Both incidents are under investig...

High Court Blocks Trump Plan To Restrict Birthright Citizenship

By: Jacob Wheeler | The Daily Wire "The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to 'every free-born person in this land,'" Roberts wrote. The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday permanently blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to restrict birthright citizenship, dealing a significant blow to his immigration agenda and preventing a sweeping overhaul of who qualifies for U.S. citizenship. In a landmark ruling authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Supreme Court held that children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause. “Citizenship, then and now, was the right ...

Trump Welcomes Tina Peters to White House Following Colorado Prison Release

By: Thelma Grimes | The Denver Gazette Since her release from prison, Tina Peters has reemerged on the political circuit — appearing over the weekend at the GOP Freedom Fest in Castle Rock and then visiting the White House on Monday to meet with President Donald Trump. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that Peters “just came to the White House to thank me for getting her released from prison in Colorado.” Trump said she had been jailed “because she found Election Fraud” and that authorities targeted her instead of “the people that committed the Fraud.” He said Peters “served two” of a nine-year sentence, spending time in solitary confinement alongside “hardened criminals and murderers.” He asserted that he “got the Republican Party into gear” to secure her release...

FBI says drone attack plot targeting White House UFC event was disrupted

By Chris Nesi | New York Post The FBI thwarted an explosive drone attack against Sunday’s UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House South Lawn and have already taken five suspects into custody, it was revealed Tuesday. The multi-phase terror attack allegedly involved using explosive-laden drone aircraft to strike buildings in the vicinity of the event, sparking mass panic and driving the fleeing crowd toward a sniper team poised to pick them off, officials told Fox News Digital. A “second wave” of attackers then allegedly planned to storm the White House gate, officials said. The bureau learned of the plot on June 10 and executed a search warrant in Cincinnati, where the first arrest was made. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST
