Summary
The Election Fight for Ease, Not the Republic – A Deep Dive
- THE DEMOCRATS
While there are multiple factions in the Democratic Party, the two prevailing ones are the now-ists and the not-now-ists (both of which have subset factions within them). The now-ists we will henceforth call the Nows, and the not now-ists we will henceforth call the Nots.
The hardline Marxists and Islamists are in the Now camp, the social justice champions are in the Not camp. The Nots want to throw off the shackles of the American “corpse” every bit as much as the Nows want to, but they have a rightful fear that if they do, the Nows will dominate the new civilization to come. The Chuck Schumer Nots fear losing power to the Nows, not losing America to the progressive state.
There are two candidates who exemplify both the Nots and the Nows. One candidate is James Talarico, the progressive xian running for a U.S. Texas Senate seat. He represents the Nots. The other candidate, Abdul El-Sayed, the progressive Islamist running for a U.S. Michigan seat, is in the Now camp.
Abdel El-Sayed has been weighed down by his direct affiliation with progressive information terrorist Hasan Piker, who pitches a pro-CCP, pro-Hamas, political violence-inciting, anti-American narrative to young Americans through social media. He is one of the top streamers in the world, making millions annually from his livestreams.
He has leveraged his huge audience to help promote El-Sayed not just after he won the nomination but in the Democratic primaries. Piker and El-Sayed have appeared in at least one public event together.
Recently, Piker claimed American was worse “pound for pound,” than Al Qaeda. He then resorted to gross numbers, not actual pound for pound numbers, comparing one terroristic attack to all the deaths ever caused by the United States in the history of the world. The cause of all the deaths is assumed to be “terrorism.” This follows his charges Jews who support Israel deserve whatever violence they get.
When El-Sayed was confronted about his continued affiliation with Piker, he refused to refute Piker, instead choosing to deflect to “cost of living” Gish galloping (more on this later). He could not dare refute the claim America is worse than Al Qaeda or that the Jews deserve being murdered.
America is founded on the idea of individual self-stewardship, which restricts the state’s right to use violence to force Americans to believe things they don’t believe.
Al Qaeda was founded on the principle that the Quran is the law, and the “leaders” are the interpreters of the law. The law demands worship of the true Allah and following the true Muhammad. All others will be subject to rape, sex slavery, chattel slavery, and execution.
El-Sayed could not refute the claim an Islamist totalitarian genocidal group is better than America. Tucker Carlson agreed with this statement, by the way. He represents the Nows who still hope to build an American-progressive hybrid to replace the presumed dead republic. He is a Nowist Progmerican.
Islam is a more appealing state religion than Christianity, for it affords gnostic powers to the holders of the truth, the interpreters of the Quran, the Tafsir, and the Hadiths.
James Talarico is in the Nots camp. He fears losing woke power to the Marxists and/or the Islamists, so he holds more desperately onto the outer shell of America. For him, the easiest suit he can put on is the Christian suit, though this one is rainbow infested.
Outside of his anti-Christian theology, Talarico revealed how progressive he is to the core with a recent statement he made that reflects how he views those he hopes to lead.
He said that humans are all just “big Kindergartners,” and for that reason, we should govern “our world like we run a kindergarten classroom.” He is the gnostic priest with the special knowledge to keep the “big Kindergartner” from hurting himself or others.
The Nows get their power from the Democratic Socialists of America, who are now becoming a dominant force in the Democratic Party. The Nots gave the Nows power; the Nows rose to power with the street thugs that make up this insurrectionist revolutionary party. The Nots funded and trained them, and now they hope to still contain them.
Before the Nows had party power, they’d been the street power of the Democratic Party for the last 10 years, increasingly being called upon to move the political discourse to the left by means of direct violence (what they euphemistically call “direct action”).
Now, the Nows are no longer a violent fringe exploited by the Nots to their own ends, they are their own real power. They aren’t even the minority in the Democratic Party anymore. A recent poll showed nearly 60% of Democrats support the DSA. The DSA’s own party platform is committed to creating “a new constitution… [and creating] a democratic socialist republic.”
They are as openly Now as it gets, and they are winning hearts and minds in the Democratic Party, a party Karl Rove and John Cornyn will vote for in Texas (even if it’s for the Not candidate).

It’s late. The time for defining the choice is passing in a hurry. Election Day is coming, and some people have already voted. In several states, early voting began on September 18, and at least a few ballots are already in. But what are we voting for? This is where it gets awkward.
The Senate race in Delaware is probably pretty meaningless, and there’s not much reason to believe that Chris Coons is losing sleep over it. But go spend a few minutes at the campaign website of Dr. Mike Katz, the Republican who’s running against Coons. This is from the front page:
Katz believes in policies that produce results. In case you were wondering, he’s for affordability and economic growth. He doesn’t want to deliver talking points, he wants to deliver real solutions. He believes in having discipline. He is not for the special interests.

Trump Approval Hits Rock Bottom
Just ahead of the midterms, President Donald Trump’s approval rating hit an all-time low at just 32%. This is according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos Poll. Coming as they do just before the midterms, this does not bode well for the GOP ticket.

EXCERPT:
President Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to a new low in another poll as the midterms are just weeks away.
Surveying 1,277 likely voters with a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points, the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll found that the president’s overall approval stands at 32 percent. Even among Republicans, the president’s approval saw a significant drop in the week from 82 percent to 73 percent — a drop from 86 percent in January of this year and 91 percent following the inauguration in January 2025.
The president’s approval among Republicans has been steadily declining since the Iran conflict began, with recent polling showing a drop among his base even on economic issues. Since January, Republican support for Trump’s handling of the economy has dropped to 56 percent while Republican support for his handling of the cost of living has dropped to 44 percent.
“For really his entire political career, the president has enjoyed very strong support among the Republican Party and among his base, and that’s still true today, but it’s a bit less true,” Alec Tyson, senior vice president and lead pollster at Ipsos Public Affairs, told the Hill.

EXCERPT:
Democrats’ path to retaking the House in November has significantly slimmed as a result of the mid-decade redistricting war this cycle, a new analysis found.
The nonpartisan Cook Political Report found that under the newly drawn maps across 10 states, the number of “competitive” swing seats has dropped from 87 to 77. For Democrats to win control of the House, the party would need to win at least 57 of the 77 seats.
The Cook Political Report’s elections analysis defines competitive seats as districts that either party won in the past two presidential election cycles by 5 points or less. Under the old lines, Democrats would have needed to win 59 of the 87 competitive seats.
Republicans are expected to gain eight seats due to mid-decade redistricting, while Democrats could have a net gain of two. The redistricting fight began this cycle in Texas after President Donald Trump urged the state legislature to redraw its state lines to be more favorable to Republicans.

Sen. Darline Graham won South Carolina’s Republican Senate runoff Tuesday, defeating Rep. Ralph Norman and handing President Donald Trump another victory for his endorsed candidate.
The Associated Press called the race for Graham, who is seeking a full term in the seat previously held by her late brother, longtime Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham.
Graham, 62, will face Democrat Annie Andrews in November and enters the general election as the favorite in heavily Republican South Carolina. Democrats have not won a U.S. Senate race in the state since 1998.
The victory also demonstrates Trump’s continued influence among Republican primary voters. He endorsed Graham and traveled to South Carolina on Friday to campaign alongside her.
The anti-American Communist running for Wisconsin Senate, Francesca Hong, lost her primary election to progressive David Crowley. Going into the polls, Hong was alleged to have a significant double-digit lead over Crowley. She was given a near-certain chance at winning.
Crowley narrowly beat her, and that only after a suspicious breakdown in the election process occurred. Five of the Eight USB Drives that had election information were handed in without any data. The data was then later allegedly retrieved.

So far, the DSA is causing some formerly strong DNC seats to become leans Democrat, but the voting population has yet to abandon these openly anti-American insurrectionist candidates.

A closely-divided U.S. Supreme Court has handed down a critical decision on election integrity, jeopardizing the security of American elections and the sovereignty of the nation. In an opinion released Monday morning in Watson v. Republican National Committee (RNC), the court’s narrow majority ruled that mail-in ballots postmarked by election day may still be counted even if received after election day.
“Three federal statutes set the day for the election of Representatives, Senators, and the President,” Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote for the majority. At issue is a Mississippi state law allowing ballots received by mail and postmarked by election day to be counted for up to five days after election day. The RNC argued that federal statutes preempt Mississippi’s law and require ballots to be received by election day in order to be counted. Barrett and the majority concluded that the federal statutes “do not” preempt Mississippi’s law.

– LOVING CRIME – A report by The Federalist connects the dots to the Progressive State’s de facto judiciary being created right before our very eyes. It is an institution in which the people getting paid to provide alternative services to incarceration are also the main fundraisers for the judges who favor criminals over American Rule of Law.
The report doesn’t connect another dot we suspect is almost as obvious, the funding of these organizations by foreign powers, including the CCP.
The reporter, James Silberman, summarized the progressive state’s judiciary versus America’s judiciary. He wrote, “For the left, the relevant question when it comes to criminal law is not whether punishment works to deter criminals or protect the public; it is whose power is increased and whose is diminished by the criminal justice system.
‘Reducing incarceration and shrinking policing are thus the mechanisms by which power is stripped from traditional, intrinsically right-leaning institutions (such as police) and given to alternative, leftist-controlled social welfare organizations… “
The progressive judges, at all levels, are becoming more aggressive and assuming more and more progressive values over American ones. For instance, they rule in favor of “equality” over “security” unless that “security” is progressive state power.

Congress had a chance to address concerns about data centers felt by residents across the country, though that effort was stymied last Thursday by Democrats’ rejection of a unanimous consent request brought by Sen. Jon Husted, R-Ohio.
Husted, who faces a special election in November, introduced the Ratepayer Protection Act in July to protect ratepayers from having to foot the bill for data centers.
“The Ratepayer Protection Act would require state utility regulators to consider standards, ensuring that large-load customers pay the full, incremental cost of the infrastructure needed to serve them,” Husted said from the Senate floor. “The Ratepayer Protection Act rests on a principle every American understands: Pay your own way,” he added.
As he highlighted the increase in data centers in the next five years, Husted said lawmakers “need to protect American ratepayers from footing the bill.”
“So, as we look to build the future, we must follow some basic principles of fairness,” he said. “The company that is creating enormous new demands for electricity should pay the costs required to serve them.”
He also called attention to costs, which are expected to be a major factor in the upcoming midterms.
“Working families, small businesses, and senior citizens should not open up their electric bills and discover the pain for the power infrastructure needed by some large tech company in the world or in their neighborhood,” Husted said. The senator also touted how his bill will lead to more savings. “Most importantly, it will help the American people keep more of what they earn.”

Texas Senate Democrat candidate James Talarico’s spiritual leader, the lesbian preacher Babs Miller, was recently caught on hidden camera admitting he’s lying to voters about his positions: “I can guarantee you that once he’s elected he’ll change his tune” on transgender politics, she told an undercover reporter.
Deceiving voters is Democrats’ strategy because their political extremism is unpopular. Democrats especially know they cannot win fair elections without making inroads in rural and small-town America, like the Texas areas Talarico needs to win a Senate seat. In fact, Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s campaigning in rural areas may have given him the edge in his primary against Haley Stevens.
Democrats in general, and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in particular, are paying a lot more attention to rural America these days. That’s because rural America “is the wall the American Left keeps hitting,” according to longtime DSA activist Bhaskar Sunkara.
Democrats know that their brand is toxic in rural America. So, how to get elected while bearing a toxic brand? Sunkara advocates for a strong message of “progressive populism” delivered with “rhetorical discipline.” In a word: propaganda.
For Democrats, disciplined propaganda is critical to striking a delicate balance between keeping their base motivated and appealing to small-town and rural America. For example, with allies in the corporate media, they’ve concocted the narrative of a “Farmageddon” revolt in which farmers are angry with President Trump and the GOP.

Department failed to explain why it reversed course on teacher training grants
A federal judge blocked a U.S. Department of Education rule stripping grants from teacher prep programs that teach DEI.
In February 2025, the department pulled “over $600 million in grants to institutions and nonprofits that were using taxpayer funds to train teachers and education agencies on divisive ideologies,” according to a news release.
“Training materials included inappropriate and unnecessary topics such as Critical Race Theory; Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI); social justice activism; ‘anti-racism’; and instruction on white privilege and white supremacy,” the release states.
Calling the directive “arbitrary and capricious,” District Judge Angel Kelley ruled that officials failed to adequately explain why they were reversing course on grants that historically encouraged DEI programs, according to The Hill.
“Rather than confining the Directive to actions that are traditionally understood to constitute discrimination, the record instead reflects that Defendants terminated grants with topics such as ‘acknowledging … racism’ and ‘anti-racism’—activities expressly undertaken to oppose discrimination,” Kelley wrote.
The judge added that the department bypassed mandatory public notice and comment periods, and ignored how heavily states, teachers, students, and principals depend on the funding, according to WPRI.

California Federal Judge Blocks Trump Admin’s FEMA Workforce Cuts– slaynews.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
A Democrat-aligned federal judge in California has ruled that the Trump administration acted unlawfully in its effort to dramatically reduce the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) workforce.
The ruling blocks another major piece of President Donald Trump’s push to overhaul the federal bureaucracy.
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston, a Bill Clinton appointee, ruled Friday that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) improperly seized control of FEMA’s personnel decisions while pushing the disaster-response agency toward cutting thousands of jobs.
The dispute centers on a federal law enacted following Hurricane Katrina that prohibits DHS from “substantially or significantly” reducing FEMA’s authorities, responsibilities, or functions.
Illston concluded that DHS crossed that line when it intervened in FEMA’s staffing decisions and sought to prevent the agency from renewing temporary contracts for thousands of reservists who respond to disasters.
“There is no evidence in the record reflecting reasoned decision-making for this about-face or for the subsequent conditions DHS placed on FEMA’s renewal authority,” Illston wrote.
Judge Targets Trump Administration’s FEMA Overhaul
The ruling does not yet specify what the Trump administration will be required to do.
Illston said remedies and penalties will be determined separately next month, giving the parties until Oct. 9 to submit arguments addressing “what relief remains outstanding.”
The lawsuit was brought by unions challenging the administration’s planned workforce reductions.
They argued that the cuts would undermine FEMA’s core disaster-response responsibilities, lacked congressional authorization, and were imposed by DHS rather than FEMA officials.
The Trump administration has maintained that FEMA possesses substantial discretion in determining appropriate staffing levels.
President Trump has gone considerably further, arguing that FEMA should ultimately be eliminated and that states should assume greater responsibility for emergency preparedness and disaster response.
Illston initially declined in June to immediately block the cuts after concluding that FEMA had, at least temporarily, backed away from the planned layoffs.
By Friday, however, the judge determined that the agency appeared to be moving forward with the reductions.

Trump admin failed to back decision with data, judge ruled
A federal judge ruled Monday to block a new U.S. Department of Homeland Security rule that would have capped international student visas at four years. The rule was set to take effect the following day.
“The government’s contention that the rule is necessary to safeguard national security borders on the absurd,” U.S. District Judge F. Dennis Saylor wrote.
“It is based almost entirely on a small handful of anecdotes, each of which involved incidents that the new rule would do nothing to prevent or even mitigate,” he wrote.
DHS forged ahead with the rule despite receiving roughly 22,000 public comments pointing out flaws and offering alternative paths.
The judge ruled that in doing so, the department violated the Administrative Procedure Act, which requires government agencies to act reasonably, respond to public comments logically, and back their decisions with actual data.
The administration argued the rule was vital for national security and fraud prevention, but the court ruled that these rationales failed to withstand meaningful review.
BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP
Roberts’ Argument For Birthplace Citizenship Is Self-Defeating– thefederalist.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
During oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara, the birthplace citizenship case handed down from the Supreme Court on Tuesday, Solicitor General John Sauer observed that “we’re in a new world now … where 8 billion people are one plane ride away from having a child who’s a U.S. citizen.”
Four justices would go on to agree with this originalist argument, that the framers of the 14th Amendment did not understand their words to confer citizenship on the offspring of illegal aliens and birth tourists. But Chief Justice John Roberts dismissed Sauer’s point, retorting that while it may be “a new world, it’s the same Constitution.” He clearly thought it was a clever turn of phrase, an impression no doubt bolstered by the fawning media coverage of his remark. Released on Tuesday, his majority opinion takes the same approach to a foundational constitutional question as his cheap potshot at Sauer: he shows little interest in compelling originalist arguments, instead issuing shallow and misapplied but noble-sounding platitudes.
Joined by Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, Roberts declared that, if a pregnant foreigner travels to the United States — legally or illegally, for 20 years or 20 minutes — to give birth, the 14th Amendment demands that act be rewarded by granting the child the full privileges of American citizenship. At the center of his argument is an aspirational concept of “allegiance” he grounds in the practices of feudal Europe. Because British subjects “born within the dominions and under the protection of a particular sovereign” owed a “tie or duty” to that sovereign, Roberts reasons, the children of foreigners born on American soil must be bound by the same allegiance and thus demanded citizenship.

Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito tore into the court’s majority for imposing a “medieval” rule on “birthright citizenship” that negates the spirit of the Declaration of Independence, days before the 250th anniversary of America’s founding document.
Both justices issued dissenting opinions in Trump v Barbara (2026), in which the court’s 6-3 majority upheld the notion of “birthright citizenship,” that any baby born on U.S. soil—regardless of his parents’ immigration status—is a citizen.
Justice Thomas said the court’s majority in Trump v. Barbera (2026) presented a legal argument that was “not historically accurate.”
“American citizenship, the court says, was based on a medieval English ‘feudal’ principle, according to which each person ‘owed personal service to the lord of the soil’ as his ‘master’—a perpetual servitude that was ‘born with the child and only ended in the grave,’” he summarized. According to the court’s majority, Americans adopted the feudal principle and Congress codified it in the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment.
Alito, for his part, cautioned that “before saddling the nation with a medieval rule, we had better be certain the Constitution requires it.”
He warned that the court’s decision confers citizenship on “birth tourists,” the children of women who travel to the United States just to give birth.

“They’re not like, ‘Hey, Texans, come to our birth center. We’re really, really gentle.’ They’re actually advertising to Mexicans in Mexico. You have Mission Regional Medical Center; it’s within miles of the border. It’s advertising birth packages on billboards in Mexico,” she continues.
The billboard Gonzales shows is all in Spanish and boasts $3,950 for a natural birth and $5,525 for a C-section. Even more disturbing, the website the billboard pointed Mexicans to was “havemybabyinTEXAS.com.”

One of the biggest revelations from President Donald Trump’s declassified election document dump on Thursday night was a report indicating the Chinese Communist Party acquired and exploited American voter data to influence the 2020 election.
One FBI information report released alleged China manufactured tens of thousands of fraudulent drivers’ licenses using data harvested “from millions of TikTok accounts” to ensure noncitizen “Chinese students and immigrants sympathetic” to the authoritarian regime could send mail-in votes for Joe Biden in 2020.
The allegation is alarming, but not as alarming as the fact that, over the next few decades, China could hack U.S. elections without ever breaking a law, risking punishment, or even raising the eyebrows of the intelligence community.
Thanks to the Supreme Court’s recent birthplace citizenship ruling, the CCP doesn’t need to manufacture fake IDs to sway votes in favor of Democrats. All China has to do to take advantage of America’s elections is to use the birth tourism industry to manufacture babies who are entitled to real American IDs as soon as they are born in the U.S.
Chinese Billionaire Making Future CCP Americans Thanks to SCOTUS
Thanks to the Supreme Court’s refusal to defend American sovereignty from foreign invaders, a recluse Chinese billionaire has hundreds of “American” children. Xu Bo is alleged to have been using surrogates to bring to term his embryos on American soil so that his children will be born as American citizens.

These children are then taken to their home country, trained in their home country’s ways, and sent back as “legal” invaders, scouts, saboteurs of the country they have no business being citizens of.

Oklahoma just witnessed another shocking example of what happens when the left takes over the criminal justice system and treats thugs like victims and victims like castoffs. Between 2022 and 2026, Ghanaian migrant Jeff Kofi Asare accumulated a hefty criminal record in Oklahoma with 7 convictions and a litany of charges including larceny, trespass, and resisting an officer. Asare saw little jail time for most of these offenses and spent a total of 75 days incarcerated for two breaking-and-entering convictions despite repeated criminal activity escalating in severity, which culminated in an alleged depraved sexual assault spree earlier this month.
On Aug. 1, he was arrested for sexual battery and indecent exposure after allegedly groping two women near a bus stop and was subsequently released pre-trial. On Aug. 6, he was again arrested for sexual battery for allegedly groping a woman near a park and again released pre-trial. On Aug. 12, he was arrested for attempted rape after firefighters heard screams and rescued a woman, allegedly from his clutches.
Like Iryna Zarutska before them, these four alleged victims, who were simply trying to board a bus or take a walk in a park, made the reasonable but increasingly inaccurate assumption that they were not in the presence of a violent criminal who had been arrested and released numerous times.

DENVER — The office of Colorado’s attorney general is a perch 10 stories above downtown Denver. From his aerie, Phil Weiser has a sweeping view of the city skyline, the gold-domed Capitol and, occasionally, a red hawk on the wing.
But looking toward November, Weiser sees something darker.
Federal agents swarming polling places. Voters intimidated or blocked from casting their ballots. A tyrannical president using his powers, real and imagined, to undermine or try to overturn the Nov. 3 election.
“With this administration what we have seen is it’s important that we not limit our imagination to what … type of harm could happen,” Weiser said during a sunny noon hour in the Mile High City.
For that reason, Colorado’s attorney general and his Democratic peers around the country have spent more than a year strategizing — by phone, via Zoom, sometimes in person — on ways to Trump-proof the midterm election.
They’ve researched history and the law, war-gamed what-ifs, divvied up responsibilities and drafted emergency lawsuits and temporary restraining orders so they can be hurried into court at a moment’s notice.

Obama-Appointed Federal Judge Slammed for Bizarrely Informal Language in Ruling Against Trump Admin: ‘It’s an Embarrassment’– www.westernjournal.com

EXCERPT:
A federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama was called out on social media this week by several legal commentators after she used a juvenile slang term in one of her rulings.
A Washington, D.C. Circuit panel of judges ruled Tuesday that a data-sharing agreement between the IRS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to crack down on illegal aliens is illegal, according to Courthouse News.
The three-judge panel, all Obama appointees, upheld another federal judge’s decision to stay the IRS from disclosing more addresses to ICE after it had already given the agency 47,000 records.
U.S. Circuit Judge Cornelia Pillard, who wrote the court’s 32-page opinion, was criticized for using the term “weak sauce” when describing the IRS’ argument. The term is slang for something with no substance or foundation.
“The IRS also asserts that the preliminary injunction is ‘highly unusual and harmful’ because it requires the IRS to provide the district court with ‘prior notice of criminal investigatory activity.’” Pillard wrote in the decision. “That argument is weak sauce where the district court has permitted the IRS to file any necessary notifications ‘under seal,’ thereby shielding any criminal investigative activity from disclosure.”
William Shipley, a former DOJ prosecutor, said on social media that this verbiage was an “embarrassment” and will be cited in future cases, diminishing the court’s credibility.

Jack Smith, the Biden regime’s former special counsel, is back in the news with his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. The Oversight Project has uncovered new records that don’t focus on the settled question of why Smith used federal power to target political enemies, but instead on how he was able to do it.
Understanding the “how” is more important at this stage. We all know why the weaponization of the Biden years happened. It happened because they wanted to extinguish a political movement so that people from around the country could never truly shake up Washington, D.C., again.
For those who believe Smith’s investigation crossed the line from legitimate law enforcement into political targeting, that broader reach is the central issue.
We also know why it can happen again if Democrats take back power.
In Democrats’ minds, they have unfinished business. They regard Donald Trump and his supporters as too great a threat to stop short the next time. That makes it essential to understand how the weaponization of government happened, how it could happen again, and what reforms are needed now to prevent a repeat.
Instead, systemic reform has largely fallen by the wayside, replaced by political declarations that government weaponization has been solved once and for all.
With few signs of meaningful accountability, the need for concrete action is urgent.
January 6 gave Democrats the justification they needed to discard restraint and use the powers of federal law enforcement against their political opponents. That effort did not stop with President Trump. It extended to his supporters, especially those who challenged the conduct of the 2020 election or became prominent figures in the broader America First movement.

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Pew Research Center data, Border Patrol recorded about 7.7 million encounters at the U.S.–Mexico border between Fiscal Years 2021 and 2025. Those numbers include illegals who were captured more than once and people who were immediately expelled.
Estimates of the U.S. unauthorized immigrant population, meaning the total number of illegal aliens who live in the country, grew by roughly five million people between 2019 and 2024 (reaching a peak population of 15.8 million in mid-2024). There were also an estimated 2 million “gotaways” who entered the country illegally between 2021 and 2024 and were never apprehended or detected.
Where did those five million people end up living?
“An analysis of federal records obtained by The Associated Press traces the self-reported destinations of 4.5 million migrants released into the United States after crossing the Mexican border between October 2018 and July 2025,” reports the Daily Wire. “The records show illegal immigrants from around the world dispersing far beyond communities along the southern border, reaching major cities, suburbs, and smaller communities with relatively low immigrant populations.”
None of those communities requested this massive influx. Most were ill-prepared for the sudden population increase. The strain on many communities’ services and infrastructure was severe; in many cases, they broke under the strain.
The illegals were from 150 countries, according to the AP report, and “Venezuelans and Cubans accounted for the largest numbers of migrants in the data, with roughly 773,000 and 539,000 arrivals, respectively.”
Other Latin American countries that sent us significant influxes of citizens included Mexico, Colombia, and Honduras.

Strikingly, not only four in five self-identified Republicans, but also 54 percent of Democrats and nearly 60 percent of independents polled also somewhat or strongly agree with a policy that would necessarily exclude illegal aliens and other noncitizens from the count.

Two more people died in recent days encountering immigration authorities, which predictably means a renewed enthusiastic push by Democrats and the dying media to halt deportations altogether. The only acceptable message from the Trump administration is: Those who caused this mess don’t get a say in how to clean it up.
It’s not a good sign that Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Tuesday reportedly instructed law enforcement to “cease all non-urgent vehicle stops” in relation to immigration enforcement. Any action that carries the whiff of a suggestion that the problem isn’t the nearly 20 million illegal aliens in this country — allowed in by Democrats — but rather the attempt to remove them is precisely the wrong signal.
At this stage, there is no “non-urgent” deportation, whether the subject is driving, walking, swimming, or floating in a hot air balloon. If he or she is in view of an ICE agent, there should be no pause in taking the individual into custody and processing his quick removal from the U.S. Anything else is weakness. Mullin is signaling weakness, and it reflects directly on President Trump.

The practice became a practical necessity for removing illegal aliens after several countries, including Cuba and Vietnam, refused to accept the return of their deported nationals.
Though third-country deportations to African nations have generated prominent media attention, Mexico remains the leading destination for said removals. Of the roughly 25,000 third-country deportees since the policy took effect, 20,000 have been sent to Mexico.

A letter from DHS General Counsel James Percival to the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) argues that the immigration court system is facing a massive backlog, with nearly 3.5 million cases and 2.3 million asylum claims pending as of July 2026.

The judge ruled that in doing so, the department violated the Administrative Procedure Act, which requires government agencies to act reasonably, respond to public comments logically, and back their decisions with actual data.
The administration argued the rule was vital for national security and fraud prevention, but the court ruled that these rationales failed to withstand meaningful review.

The Trump administration asserts that access to the database is necessary to identify immigrants who are in the country illegally but have received commercial driver’s licenses from states. Federal officials say the effort is intended to determine whether licenses were improperly issued and improve highway safety.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has charged a Venezuelan illegal immigrant delivery driver, who was shot during a recent targeted US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation in Austin, Texas, with assault of a federal officer, according to court documents. Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, 28, stands accused of striking an ICE officer with the side mirror of his vehicle while attempting to evade arrest.
Garces Perez has been indicted on one count of assaulting, resisting, interfering, and impeding a federal officer in the US District Court for the Western District of Texas. The incident occurred on September 20, 2026. Garces Perez, an illegal alien with a final order of removal, sustained a gunshot wound to his back.
According to an eight-page Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) affidavit, ICE agents ran Garces Perez’s license plate in the parking lot of a shopping center and learned that an immigration judge had ordered his removal from the United States. The officers observed Garces Perez exit a restaurant, get inside his vehicle, described as a blue Toyota Sedan, and take off.
ICE officers in two separate federal vehicles followed Garces Perez and initiated a traffic stop at around 12:20 pm. The illegal alien did not immediately stop. An ICE officer, identified in the affidavit as LG, blocked Garces Perez’s vehicle with his, resulting in Garces Perez pulling over on the shoulder. The other ICE officer, identified as DF, parked his vehicle behind Garces Perez, according to court documents.
DF activated his body-worn camera. Both officers approached Garces Perez’s vehicle and requested his driver’s license, which confirmed that Garces Perez was their intended target.

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) has joined a lawsuit seeking to stop the DOT from accessing commercial driver’s license (CDL) records from the CDLIS database operated by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, which contains information about 17 million people.
A U.S. District Court in California has since issued an injunction against the DOT while the lawsuit advances through the court system. The DOT is expected to appeal.
The legal fight is over ongoing actions being taken by the Trump administration to get illegal immigrants and unqualified drivers off the road following numerous deadly crashes caused by truckers who never should have been on the road. At least 30 Americans were killed in crashes caused by illegal truck drivers in 2025, including a high school basketball coach and his wife, and numerous others have been killed and maimed in 2026.
The DOT, along with other agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), have been working to shut down “sham schools” that don’t provide proper or complete training to its students and who give CDLs to illegal immigrants who can’t speak or read English or identify road signs. On September 8, DHS officials launched a new tipline so everyday Americans can report CDL fraud.
“Too many American lives have been lost or permanently changed because illegal aliens who have no business being on our roads have been granted CDLs,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said.
The agencies have also engaged in law enforcement stings to take illegal drivers off the road and implement policies to strengthen English language requirements.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has once again proved just how much the left hates you — the American people.

Well, unless, of course, you are a law enforcement officer working with federal agents to uphold national security. That, in fact, would be illegal, according to Hochul.
Per CBS:
It bans local government agencies from maintaining agreements with ICE for civil enforcement. It also prohibits ICE agents from using local detention centers for civil enforcement, including mass raids.
“Local police will assist ICE only if a real crime has been committed,” Hochul said. “But on civil immigration matters, ICE is on their own.”
The problem with this claim is that breaking federal immigration laws is a crime. Can someone please clear that up for the Governor?
She said the law will help protect immigrants from aggressive enforcement while they pursue asylum claims.
What a bunch of nonsense. This is nothing more than an effort to vilify federal agents, while turning a blind eye to criminal aliens who have disregarded this country’s laws from the very start.
Back in July, state officials sent letters to 12 local law enforcement agencies that have agreements with ICE. The letters stated that they must unwind the agreements by Aug. 25.

Wu then urged private garage and parking lot owners to reject ICE while revealing that Boston had submitted a Freedom of Information Act request seeking “any local responses to ICE.”
DHS accused the mayor of attempting to intimidate private property owners because she lacks the authority to stop them from voluntarily doing business with federal law enforcement.
“These actions by sanctuary Mayor Michelle Wu are unhinged,” DHS said.

EXCERPT:
ICE officers working in Los Angeles are being followed home, harassed on social media and confronted in person while carrying out immigration enforcement, the agency’s local field office director said this week.
Those officers receive little assistance from local police.
LAPD policy, rooted in Special Order 40 and the city’s sanctuary ordinance, bars officers from initiating action solely to determine immigration status or assisting in civil immigration enforcement, according to a statement from Chief Jim McDonnell.
Los Angeles ICE Field Office Director Thomas Giles told Fox News Digital that the sanctuary rules force his agents into the community instead of allowing secure transfers at local jails. Fox News Digital accompanied Giles and a team of officers on an enforcement operation in the Los Angeles area early last Thursday morning.
“The sanctuary policies definitely impact our operations in terms of it’d be a lot easier for us to have that transfer of custody in a secure environment,” Giles said. “So, what it does for us is it sends our officers out into the community, putting our officers at risk and other community members at risk.”
