After a joint operation by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) found “mass patterns” of marriage and other immigration fraud in Minneapolis, the agency’s director says denaturalization and prosecutions are on the table. Operation Twin Shield, which was conducted by USCIS in coordination with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the FBI in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, flagged over 1,000 cases suspected of involving “fraud or ineligibility indicators,” the agency shared in an after-action announcement. The agency reviewed applications for immigration benefits, including marriage and family-based petitions, employment authorizations, and certain parole-related requests, the agency said. Of the cases reviewed, the agency found "evidence of fraud, non-compliance, or

Outside of the many Minnesotans who robbed us of our tax dollars during the Covid pandemic, I really only hope that Omar be stripped of citizenship.

Omar should be first on the list. Remove her from her ill-gotten position in Congress and remove her from our country. Then start processing the rest of the Somalis.

I don't know why this would even be a question. I just cannot get past the glaringly obvious unfairness of a system that lets some people cheat to get in the country while others pay the money and jump through all the hoops to become naturalized citizens. It just isn't right.

Why is prosecution just "on the table"? It should be in the works and happening. Immigration fraud is illegal.

Time has come for the SCOTUS to give a complete clear ruling on citizenship. natural born, native born and naturalized should be clearly defined for purposes of the law. There is nothing wrong in treating these three categories differently. There are 21cmillion naturalized citizens who were born outside the US. They might have to carry a special id card. So what? We can't check into a motel without showing a driver's license.

Cheryl Hines went head-to-head with The View's Sunny Hostin over her husband's capacity to serve as Health Secretary. The Curb Your Enthusiasm actress, 60, was a guest on Tuesday's episode of the ABC talk show and was grilled about her other half Robert F. Kennedy Jr's lack of a medical background. Defending her RFK Jr's knowledge, Cheryl said: 'He has dedicated his career to suing big corporations because of toxins that have been affecting people's health… 'He was part of the team that sued Monsanto because of Roundup, a pesticide that was causing cancer.

President Trump paid tribute to Charlie Kirk with a Rose Garden celebration on what would have been his 32nd birthday — as his widow Erika revealed he likely would have run for president one day. Trump, 79, called the assassinated conservative activist a “martyr” worthy to be honored with some of the most famous names in history. “Charlie Kirk was a martyr for truth and for freedom,” the president said. “And from Socrates to Saint Peter, from Abraham Lincoln to Martin Luther King, those who change history the most — and he really did — have always risked their lives for causes they were put on Earth to defend.”

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.) and Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) are urging the Trump administration to investigate the Council on American-Islamic Relations’s links to Hamas, according to a letter obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. In a letter sent Tuesday to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the Republicans argue that CAIR’s "pattern of historic ties" to Hamas, combined with the rhetorical encouragement CAIR leaders have offered for Hamas, may constitute "material support for terrorism." They cite CAIR’s designation as an unindicted co-conspirator in a 2009 federal court case against the Holy Land Foundation, a Hamas front group, and pro-Hamas rhetoric from CAIR

While the world's attention was focused on the release of the Jewish hostages taken by Islamic Hamas monsters, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law that would make it easy for strangers to kidnap children from his state's schools—without parental permission, naturally. While one story gloried in hostages freed from totalitarian barbarians, another set of totalitarians loosed a plot to take more. Think that's overwrought? Hold my beer. Newsom signed AB 495 into law on Sunday night and pretended that the law, proffered by a Democrat to hide kids illegally in the country from Immigration authorities, kept parental rights intact and preserved parents’ relationships with their own children.

During his first bid to become Virginia attorney general, Jay Jones promoted legislative efforts to divest from the police, pull cops from schools, end qualified immunity for law enforcement, and abolish cash bail. As he centered his unsuccessful 2021 Democratic primary run on police reform and race, he repeatedly invoked George Floyd and Jacob Blake and said that the two men could’ve been him. On the campaign stump, Jones even said on Twitter that the two men could’ve been him. Floyd died in police custody in May 2020, setting off a wave of oft-violent Black Lives Matter protests and riots around the country. Blake was shot by police while holding a knife

Barack Obama has fallen yet again for a boy-faced Democrat hoping to "turn Texas blue." During a recent interview on Marc Maron's podcast, the failed former president touted James Talarico, the Texas state lawmaker running for U.S. Senate, as a "terrific, talented young man." Democrats haven't been this excited about a U.S. Senate candidate in Texas since Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke, who lost his race in 2018 but also managed to impress Obama with his terrific talents. Talarico won praise from Democrats earlier this year by going on Joe Rogan's podcast. He parlayed that appearance into a U.S. Senate campaign and fawning headlines, such as

The effort, centered in San Antonio, led to arrests, felony warrants and several new investigations under a joint mission known as “Operation Lightning Bug.” Teams from the US Marshals Service (USMS) out of San Antonio, Del Rio, Midland, and Pecos joined forces with San Antonio Police Department’s Missing Persons Unit, Special Victims Unit, Street Crimes Unit and covert operatives.

After spending Sunday morning whining on talk shows about the Schumer Shutdown and faking concern for the welfare of federal workers, top Democrats are scheduled to head to California for a retreat at the ritzy Hotel Yountville in the Napa Valley. The retreat, scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, is hosted by DSCC Chair Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY). Back on October 3, Gillibrand told the Washington Examiner that the event was still planned despite the shutdown, but that those plans could change if the shutdown dragged on. But on Friday, October 10, Punchbowl reported that the retreat was still on and that Gillibrand would attend.

Joe Biden's post-presidency has been rough, to put it mildly. Nearly nine months after Donald Trump reclaimed the White House, Biden is holed up in Wilmington, Delaware, grappling with a reality that must feel like political exile. He's dealing not just with the sting of losing power, but also the inability to sell access and enrich his family. Though he won’t admit to the latter. The irony couldn’t be thicker. After years of attacking Trump and using the Justice Department in a desperate bid to put his successor behind bars, Biden now finds himself being told by his own advisers to stay quiet and act like a traditional ex-president.

Hamas fighters have dramatically reasserted control in Gaza, defying Israeli demands for disarmament just a day after U.S. President Donald Trump was in the region signing the ceasefire agreement. On Tuesday, the militant group solidified its return by carrying out public executions of men accused of collaborating with Israeli forces. A video circulated Monday, whose authenticity was confirmed by a Hamas source, showed seven men dragged into a crowd, forced to their knees, and shot from behind in Gaza City. The move underscores the “daunting hurdles” facing efforts to move Trump’s ceasefire plan toward a longer-term resolution.

Clinton’s comments came just a day after Hamas agreed to Trump’s peace plan in a stunning move that is expected to end the two year war that’s ravaged the Gaza Strip.

The Democratic Socialists of America — the organization backing New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani — denounced the “conditional” cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas and called for continued resistance against the Jewish state in a statement released Monday. The DSA declaration titled “Until Palestinian Liberation” came days after Israel and Hamas agreed to halt fighting and begin exchanging hostages and prisoners under a US- and Arab-brokered deal. The far-left group said the truce “will not end Israel’s assault on the Palestinian people or the theft and occupation of Palestinian lands,” describing it as a “conditional cease-fire” that “does not wash the hands of the ruling class that …

Then, you had folks like former President Barack Obama, who, while welcoming the deal, couldn't bring himself to even mention Trump's name.[snip]Then there were folks like Sen.

Hamas terrorists have started to free the last remaining hostages in Gaza Monday morning, following a historic peace deal brokered by President Trump. The freed individuals had spent over 730 days in captivity after they were among a group of 250 kidnapped from southern Israel and dragged into Gaza during Hamas’ deadly Oct. 7, 2023 invasion. An elated mother of one of the freed Israeli hostages was able to video chat with her son for the first time since he was taken captive by Hamas during the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

If you're not a person who hates Israel and who has routinely shown sympathy for their terrorist enemies, Monday was a good day, with the surviving hostages being released as a result of the historic peace deal between Israel and Hamas, brokered by President Trump and members of his administration.But Monday was not a good day for CNN's longtime chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour, a British-Iranian "journalist" whose name has become synonymous with Israel- and America-bashing. As RedState reported earlier, Amanpour was one of the sour-faced media figures who, while talking about the hostages being released, seemed to fret about Hamas supposedly losing their "leverage" in the deal.

In 2018, President Trump was riding high on a wave of winning. Republicans had never had it so good, but Democrat operatives plotted their comeback, flooding Republican-held Congressional districts where Hillary Clinton had won. Millions poured into Orange County, California, as Democrats sensed an opportunity to flip Congressional seats blue for the first time in decades, if not in history. Gavin Newsom, then the Lieutenant Governor, was campaigning for Governor, shoring up all the support he could for Democrats running for Congress across Orange County, including Katie Porter, a law professor from UC Irvine. A fat, squat character actress of a candidate, no one could imagine this hog winning anything.
