Illegal migrants fearing deportation are said to be in hiding, turning usually crowded factories, warehouses and grocery stores into ghost towns. President Donald Trump has order federal agents to at least 1,200 to 1,500 illegal aliens each day as part of his sweeping immigration crackdown. Scared undocumented migrants began hunkering down after Trump took office for the second time last week, with dozens failing to turn up to work. Only 10 out of the usually 40 to 50 migrants workers attended their shifts at a factory in Joliet, Illinois last week,

A top 'DEI' activist is caught on voicemail allegedly offering minority air traffic controller candidates the chance to cheat in a make-or-break entry exam. Shelton Snow, a powerful figure in the National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees (NBCFAE), can be heard promising advance access to test answers in a shocking audio clip obtained by DailyMail.com. 'There are some valuable pieces of information that I have taken a screenshot of and I am going to send that to you via email,' says Snow, an air traffic operations supervisor based out of New York.
Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah became depressed and was emotionally changed by Israel’s exploding pager attack on his operatives as well as by strikes that decimated the group’s leadership, his family told Lebanese media. His son said Nasrallah was noticeably no longer the same man, and his daughter revealed that he cried after the beeper attack. Nasrallah’s son, daughter, and three grandchildren spoke to Al-Manar television for interviews that were broadcast on Friday.
A series of audacious train robberies has been reported in the Mojave Desert, most of them targeting freight trains carrying Nike sneakers. At least 10 heists have occurred since March 2024, with all but one involving the theft of expensive footwear.
Millions of dollars of merchandise have been stolen since last year. The thieves stealthily board eastbound freight trains, hiding out until they reach lonely stretches of the Mojave Desert or high plains far from towns. They slash an air brake hose, causing the mile-long line of railcars to screech to an emergency stop.
A 16-year-old boy let out a keening wail as he collapsed in court after being told he would be tried for murder as an adult and denied bail. Sean Simpson is charged with the shooting murder of 16-year-old Zaquavious Dawkins last month in Gastonia, North Carolina. The alleged teen killer broke down in court, sobbing and screaming as he learned he would not be released on bail and will have to face the law as an adult. Simpson began wiping his eyes as the judge could be heard saying 'hold without bond,' footage obtained by QueenCityNews shows.
The mystery surrounding the latest Delta Airlines crash just keeps deepening. The crash itself was shocking to witness—and it’s nothing short of a miracle that no one died. But in today’s world, where the skies feel less friendly than ever thanks to progressive ideology that has taken over corporate America, it’s no surprise that when a crash happens, all eyes turn to DEI. And that’s not a stretch. Delta Airlines has made no secret of going all-in on their DEI agenda—a move that just so happens to coincide with a sharp decline in consumer confidence with the airline industry.
James Clifford Shupe, aka Elisa Rae, who became the world’s first “legally nonbinary” person in 2016, reportedly hanged himself from the parking deck of the Syracuse, New York Veterans Affairs hospital last month. He was 61 years old. Shupe is survived by a wife and a daughter. Shupe had been released from inpatient mental health treatment at the facility on 21 January after undergoing vaginoplasty just before the Christmas holiday. During a brief period of sanity in 2021, Shupe criticized ‘gender identity’ ideology, calling himself a “transvestite” while disclosing his mental condition, autogynephilia, in Substack posts that he later deleted.
Caroline Kennedy has released an extraordinary video of comments to senators where she calls her cousin RFK Jr. a 'predator' who set family members on a path to drug addiction and mistreated small animals. The daughter of President John F. Kennedy said she held back on criticism of her cousin during his failed presidential campaign due to her role as U.S. ambassador to Australia. But she unloaded on her famous relative in her statement on the eve of his Senate confirmation hearing, as he faces an uncertain future in the Senate as Donald Trump's pick to lead the Health and Human Services Department.
President Donald Trump is now using the power of the purse to bring diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the federal government to a screeching halt. The White House budget office ordered federal agencies to freeze 'all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance,’ which includes grants and loans that do not align with the new administration’s priorities. This is not meant to target any 'assistance provided directly to individuals,’ such as Medicare or Social Security.

When reports surfaced over the weekend that mass deportations could potentially begin in the Chicago area Tuesday, Martin Ramos informed his boss that he was taking time off from work, stocked up on groceries and decided his kids would skip soccer practice this week. Ramos — who emigrated from Guadalajara, Mexico, without the necessary work permits — spent the first full day of Donald Trump’s second presidency hunkered down with his family and trying to avoid being picked up by ICE agents. An arrest, he knows, would destroy everything he and his wife worked for and force their two boys into an uncertain future.
President Donald Trump was left in disbelief as he was forced to listen to a woke bishop deliver a stunningly negative sermon calling for him to show 'mercy' to illegal immigrants and transgender children. On the first full day of Trump's presidency Marianne Budde, the left-wing Episcopal Bishop of Washington, unleashed a wild lecture claiming trans kids were 'fearing for their lives' due to him being in the Oval Office.
Trump sat stony-faced in the front row, next to First Lady Melania Trump, as the prelate told him illegal immigrants were not criminals and he shouldn't deport those with children.
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper (D) commuted death sentences for 15 inmates on his last day in office. On Tuesday Cooper announced that he has commuted the sentences of 15 people on death row in North Carolina to life without the possibility of parole after a thorough review of detailed petitions for clemency. “These reviews are among the most difficult decisions a Governor can make and the death penalty is the most severe sentence that the state can impose,”

Democratic strategist James Carville declared Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “The Story” that the Trump administration was “in total meltdown.”
Carville said, “Total meltdown!’
Carville said, “I think people are afraid to death. They see markets collapsing! They see people calling Mark Kelly a traitor. They see disorder everywhere. You know, Trump was going to bring the price of eggs down from day one.”
He continued, “We can’t call the Enola Gay, the Enola Gay. I mean, what’s coming out of Washington would scare the living bejesus out of anybody, independent, Republican or Democrat. This administration is in total meltdown, in total collapse.”
A new four-lane highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém. It aims to ease traffic to the city, which will host more than 50,000 people - including world leaders - at the conference in November. The state government touts the highway's "sustainable" credentials, but some locals and conservationists are outraged at the environmental impact. The Amazon plays a vital role in absorbing carbon for the world and providing biodiversity, and many say this deforestation contradicts the very purpose of a climate summit.
President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the agency overseeing Medicare should divest financial ties to healthcare and pharmaceutical companies that could benefit from his policy decisions, Democratic U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren said on Wednesday.
Television personality and surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz is scheduled to appear on Friday before the Senate Finance Committee, on which Warren sits. The panel will hold a confirmation hearing for his nomination to be administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a wide-reaching agency with annual spending of $2.6 trillion.
In a letter addressed to him seen by Reuters, Warren called on Oz to divest from his financial holdings related to industries regulated by the agency
The Trump administration has ordered the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to pause federal funds to the University of Maine System (UMS) over the state’s refusal to protect women’s sports.
The UMS holds a network of eight public colleges in Maine—the state’s “largest educational enterprise,” according to the UMS website, with an annual enrollment of nearly 30,000 students.
As Breitbart News reported last month, the president signed an executive order to “re-write federal Title IX education rules to withhold federal funds from schools that allow transgender athletes to play as females.”

It's not widely known, but over HALF of Columba University's enrollment is now foreign students. Some of them are people like Mahmoud Khalil, who spent all his time agitating in support of Hamas terrorists. But if you dig deeper, the true story is even more appalling: Columbia is using the prestige of its elite undergraduate school to bring in thousands of mediocre foreigners who want a Columbia degree in computer science, engineering, or a similar field. Columbia admits them because they pay full-freight tuition, boosting their bottom line while glutting the American job market and lowering wages for STEM workers.
Walt Disney studio chiefs might be feeling their own brand of flop sweat, as one indicator after another piles up that that company's $300 million bet on a live-action "Snow White" is going down faster than the Titanic if the iceberg had been armed with torpedoes and antiship missiles.
The Mouse House "won’t be rolling out a robust red carpet like it usually does" for a big-budget premiere next week, Variety reported Tuesday. Instead of a parade of movie stars and celebrities vying for attention on the red carpet and all the attendant big media names, the "Snow White" premiere
If USAID was the charitable wing of the U.S. State Dept., why would the remaining senior leadership be instructing all employees to urgently start destroying all records? The answer is easy, the charity mission of USAID was a front for the real operational mission of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). USAID has always been a CIA operation within the U.S. State Department silo. The documents they are now being told to shred and burn with urgency are the CIA operational details of how USAID manipulated foreign governments and CIA assets. This is one big coverup operation.
The 36 million who watched President Donald Trump's address to Congress also watched as Congressional Black Caucus member, Rep. Al Green, shook his cane and shouted at the president.
When he refused to desist, Speaker Mike Johnson ordered him removed from the chamber.
Two days later, in a bipartisan vote, the House censured Green.
The Congressional Black Caucus stood in firm support of Green's actions and, in their own move to disrupt, CBC members sang "We Shall Overcome," an anthem of the Civil Rights Movement, as Johnson read the censure on the House floor. When they refused to stop disrupting, the Speaker gaveled the session to recess.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is now apologizing to the American people for the fallout from the ongoing trade negotiations between Canada and the United States — and calling for an end to the “chaos” to save “millions of jobs.”
Ford made assurances that a trade deal would be settled between the two North American nations prior to the Apr. 2 deadline during an interview on WABC’s “Cats and Cosby” — and added a very Canadian “sorry, eh,” directed toward US citizens.
“I want to apologize to the American people. I spent 20 years of my life in the US, in New Jersey, in Chicago.
With the majority of votes counted, the opposition Demokraatit Party is considered the winner of Greenland's election, receiving nearly 30% of the votes.
The world took unusual notice of Tuesday's parliamentary election after US President Donald Trump said he wanted to take control of the Arctic island.
The Demokraatit Party, which favors a slow approach to independence from Denmark but not US control, won 29.9% of the votes with over 90% of ballots counted.
It Seems the Schumer Shutdown Is Coming
14 replies
Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is, to put it as politely as possible, a real piece of... work. He's never seen a tax he wasn't in favor of; he defines "bipartisanship" as "Republicans do what I tell them to, and nothing more," and now he's about to shut the government down, or at least give it his best old college try. Because shutting the government down is only bad when Republicans do it. Sen. Schumer spoke (and, yes, I listened to him, so you don't have to) on the Senate floor on Wednesday about the House passing the CR:
Funding the government should be a bipartisan effort. But
During a tour of duty at the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) as a Company Officer in the 1980s... ...the Naval Academy had already abandoned strict meritocracy for affirmative action. I have watched with alarm for years as the Armed Forces subsequently embraced Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and have published about it extensively, most recently in Real Clear Defense.... ...Although information concerning DEI on publicly available websites at USNA has largely been scrubbed, there remain strong indications that USNA DEI efforts have merely gone underground.
