Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler (NY) on Tuesday said Americans would be justified in shooting masked ICE agents.

“What is really the major problem in this country today is the fascism in our streets,” Nadler said during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday.

“The attacks on American citizens by masked hoodlums. If you were attacked by a masked person, you might think you were being kidnapped,” Nadler said.

“You’d be justified in shooting the person to protect yourself,” Nadler added.

Nadler referenced the fatal shooting of Renee Good, the anti-ICE agitator who tried to run over an ICE agent in Minneapolis.

DHS agents also fatally shot Alex Pretti, an armed anti-ICE agitator who impeded an immigration operation and resisted arrest.

“We see people being shot! For what? For driving a car?” Nadler said.

“We see these ICE goons breaking into people’s homes without a warrant. You see them drag out a man – an American citizen in his underwear in the snow without even permitting him to get dressed!” Nadler said.

WATCH:

ICE agents face an 8,000% increase in death threats against them and their family members, the DHS said.

Calls for violence against ICE agents coming from Democrats like Jerry Nadler are contributing to the shootouts and car ramming incidents.

“The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a threatening voicemail left for an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Minnesota on January 24,” the DHS said.

“Our law enforcement officers are now facing an 8,000% increase in death threats against them and a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them while they put their lives on the line to remove murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and terrorists from American neighborhoods,” the DHS said.

TMZ received a ransom note demanding a massive payment – in Bitcoin – for the release of Nancy Guthrie.

84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC’s “Today” show anchor Savannah Guthrie, was last seen on Saturday night.

The elder Guthrie went ‘missing’ from her Pima County, Arizona, home over the weekend and law enforcement described it as a ‘crime scene.’

MISSING PERSON: Nancy Guthrie https://t.co/FckPCHSXKu pic.twitter.com/BcHeWPppzu

Authorities said there are signs of forced entry and blood was found inside the Pima County home.

On Tuesday, police said during a press conference that they have not ruled out a ransom.

“We’re following all leads we have,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said on Tuesday.

“We are sharing all of our leads with the FBI,” he added.

Later Tuesday, TMZ received a ransom not demanding a “substantial” amount of Bitcoin in exchange for the release of Guthrie.

TMZ said the ransom note revealed details about the crime scene.

TMZ reported:

Another scary twist in the disappearance of “TODAY” host Savannah Guthrie’s kidnapped mother … TMZ has received an alleged ransom note demanding payment for the release of Nancy Guthrie.

The note, which was sent to us Tuesday morning, demands a specific substantial amount of Bitcoin … the amount is in the millions, and the note demands the cryptocurrency be sent to a specific Bitcoin address.

TMZ has verified the Bitcoin address is real.

There is a deadline connected to the alleged ransom … and an element of “or else.”

In the moment on our live stream above, Harvey and Charles said she was wearing an item mentioned in the note. In fact, the note says she was not wearing it.

The alleged ransom note also describes another item the sender says was damaged at her Tucson-area home.

ICE agents arrested an illegal alien, a New Orleans Police Department recruit, who was illegally given a gun.

Larry Temah, the 46-year-old illegal alien from Cameroon, was just one week away from graduating from the police academy.

The DHS said in a comment to Fox News: “This illegal alien from Cameroon, Larry Temah, is not only breaking the law with every step he takes in this country illegally, but the New Orleans Police Department hired him and issued him a firearm – what kind of law enforcement department gives criminal illegal aliens guns and badges? It’s a FELONY for illegal aliens to even possess a firearm. Sanctuary cities like New Orleans ignore ICE detainers and are protecting illegal aliens at the expense of American citizens.”

Per Fox News reporter Bill Melugin:

ICE confirms to Fox News that they’ve arrested a New Orleans Police Department recruit who they say is an illegal alien from Cameroon with an active deportation order & no work authorization, & they say he was illegally given a gun by New Orleans PD.

ICE says 46-year-old Larry Temah was one week away from graduating the New Orleans PD academy when they arrested him.

They say Temah first entered the US legally in 2015 on a visitor’s visa and was granted conditional residency after marrying a US citizen in 2016. However, in 2022, his application for permanent residency was denied to due to fraud.

ICE says Temah was ordered to appear in immigration court three times, but never did, disregarding US laws, which resulted in an immigration judge ordering him deported in absentia, resulting in his active deportation order.

This is not the first time an illegal alien has been a police department recruit and given an illegal gun.

In October, ICE agents arrested an alleged illegal alien from Montenegro who was a sworn police officer in Hanover Park, Illinois.

Hanover Police later announced they rehired Bojovic.

Bojovic is now an armed police officer after an immigration judge granted him a $2,500 immigration bond two weeks after he was detained.

The Clintons caved to House Oversight Chairman James Comer and agreed to publicly testify this month in the Committee’s Epstein investigation.

Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed to testify before the Oversight Committee after Chairman James Comer moved forward in holding them in criminal contempt of Congress.

“Republicans and Democrats on the Oversight Committee have been clear: no one is above the law—and that includes the Clintons. After delaying and defying duly issued subpoenas for six months, the House Oversight Committee moved swiftly to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings in response to their non-compliance,” Comer said.

“Once it became clear that we would hold them in contempt, the Clintons completely caved and will appear for transcribed, filmed depositions this month,” Comer said.

“We look forward to questioning the Clintons as part of our investigation into the horrific crimes of Epstein and Maxwell, to deliver transparency and accountability for the American people and for survivors,” Comer added.

The Clintons will testify on February 26 and 27.

The murdered Ohio dentist, Dr. Spencer Tepe, was shot 7 times, and his wife, Monique Tepe, was shot 9 times.

Police last month arrested Monique Tepe’s ex-husband, Dr. Michael McKee, a vascular surgeon, and charged him with four counts of aggravated murder and one count of aggravated burglary.

Dr. Spencer Tepe, 37, and his wife, Monique Tepe, 39, were found shot to death in their home on December 30 after police conducted a welfare check.

Their two children were found in the home crying, but were not physically harmed.

Police were called to conduct a welfare check after Dr. Tepe, who was known for being punctual, failed to show up to work at Athens Dental Depot.

Athens Dental Depot owner, Dr. Mark Valrose, told 911 dispatchers that Dr. Tepe always shows up to work on time.

Later that day, Dr. Tepe and his wife, Monique, were discovered dead in their home.

New details reveal that Dr. Tepe and his wife were shot multiple times each.

Monique Tepe had bullet wounds to her arms, hands, chest, and one to the head.

Dr. Tepe had bullet wounds to his arms, torso, and also one to the head.

TMZ reported:

Shocking development in the double murder of an Ohio dentist and his wife … she was shot 9 times, and he took 7 bullets … and her ex-husband is charged with their murders.

Monique Tepe took one bullet to the head, three to the chest, one to the ribs, one to the forearm, one to the hand and two her upper arm … according to the Franklin County Coroner’s Office.

Spencer, meanwhile, took one bullet to the head, one to the neck, three to the torso, and two to his bilateral upper extremities.

Bullets caused damage to Monique’s lungs and heart … and they fractured bones in her cheek, ribs and arm.

Spencer’s brain, lungs, liver, and colon were ripped apart by the gunshots … and they fractured bones in his skull, ribs and hands. When his body got to the coroner, he still had one bullet lodged inside.

A federal judge on Monday evening blocked the Department of Homeland Security from ending the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 350,000 Haitians.

US District Judge Ana Reyes, a wicked Biden appointee, said DHS Chief Kristi Noem “does not have the law on her side” in a scathing opinion.

The TPS designation was set to expire on Tuesday. Judge Reyes blocked the DHS from ending the TPS designation at the eleventh hour.

Judge Reyes unleashed on Noem over an X post in which she called Haitians and other 3rd world migrants “killers leeches and entitled junkies.”

I just met with the President.

I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies.

Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom—not for foreign…

— Secretary Kristi Noem (@Sec_Noem) December 1, 2025

“Plaintiffs are five Haitian TPS holders. They are not, it emerges, “killers, leeches, or entitlement junkies.” They are instead: Fritz Emmanuel Lesly Miot, a neuroscientist researching Alzheimer’s disease, Rudolph Civil, a software engineer at a national bank, Marlene Gail Noble, a laboratory assistant in a toxicology department, Marica Merline Laguerre, a college economics major, and Vilbrun Dorsainvil, a full-time registered nurse,” Judge Reyes wrote in an 83-page opinion reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.

Judge Reyes unleashed on Nome and said the law is not on her side.

“There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table. Secretary Noem, the record to-date shows, does not have the facts on her side—or at least has ignored them. Does not have the law on her side—or at least has ignored it. Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, she pounds X (f/k/a Twitter),” the judge wrote.

DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin suggested the Trump Administration may leapfrog the DC Circuit Court of Appeals and go straight to the Supreme Court.

Full statement from Tricia McLaughlin:

Supreme Court, here we come.

This is lawless activism that we will be vindicated on.

Haiti’s TPS was granted following an earthquake that took place over 15 years ago, it was never intended to be a de facto amnesty program, yet that’s how previous administrations have used it for decades.

Temporary means temporary and the final word will not be from an activist judge legislating from the bench.

Newly-released emails reveal Jeffrey Epstein may have a secret son.

Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, congratulated Epstein on the birth of his baby boy.

Ferguson said she ‘heard from the Duke’ that Epstein had a baby boy.

The email is date September 21, 2011 so if Epstein has a secret son, he would be 14 years old today.

The Daily Mail reported:

Sarah Ferguson congratulated Jeffrey Epstein on having a ‘baby boy’ shortly after he was released from jail for soliciting sex from girls as young as 14, according to newly released emails.

The so-called Epstein files show that the former Duchess of York offered him her ‘love, friendship and congratulations’ on the birth in a note sent to the paedophile financier in September 2011.

It came as a defiant Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who also featured in the latest document release, went riding near his Royal Lodge home on Monday morning.

The potential existence of Epstein’s secret son, who would now be 14 and in high school, was revealed in a sycophantic email to him from his friend Fergie, who suggested she heard the news from her ex-husband, Andrew.

Fergie appears to have used it as an excuse to get back in contact with Epstein, even after his release from prison for child sex offences.

She wrote in the previously unseen email, released in the latest tranche of Epstein files: ‘Don’t know if you’re still on this bbm [BlackBerry Messenger] but have heard from The Duke that you have had a baby boy’.

Noted pedophile of the rich and powerful Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his prison cell in Manhattan in August 10, 2019, one week after he supposedly attempted suicide in July.

The 66-year-old financier and convicted pedophile was found dead in his prison cell and the medical examiner ruled his death a suicide by hanging.

Epstein, who was 6 feet tall, reportedly secured the bedsheet on the bunk bed and wrapped the sheet around his neck.

I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight’s false and defamatory, statement, have never been accused being there, not even by the Fake News Media,” Trump said.

“Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast. It looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C., and suing him for plenty$,” Trump said.

“Ask Little George Slopadopolus, and others, how that all worked out. Also ask CBS! Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you! President DJT,” Trump added.

The FBI and Metro Police raided an illegal biological lab in Las Vegas on Saturday morning.

The bio lab in Vegas is possibly linked to another illegal lab under investigation in Fresno, California, where authorities found deadly viruses such as HIV, Covid and Ebola.

As TGP’s Brian Lupo reported back in July 2023, – An illegal bio lab was discovered in a believed-to-be vacant building in Reedley, California in Fresno County.

City code enforcement stumbled upon the building in December 2022 when they discovered a garden hose running up into the building through a hole in the wall. In March 2023, they obtained a warrant to inspect the property, and in April, the Fresno County Department of Public Health ordered an inspection of the facility.

Investigators inspected the building that contained the lab in July 2023 and found a room used to make COVID-19 tests and pregnancy tests. They also found over 35 freezers and refrigeration units that contained “thousands of bodily fluids, serums, tissues, and other medical items.”

The lab contained refrigerators full of deadly viruses and genetically engineered mice to transmit the deadly viruses to humans!

The man connected to the bio lab in Fresno is in federal custody.

KLAS reported:

A suspected biological laboratory raided by Metro police and the FBI may be connected to a similar incident in California, where officials found infectious agents such as HIV and malaria, the 8 News Now Investigators have learned.

Police and the FBI searched the home on Saturday, Jan. 31, finding a “possible biological laboratory,” including “refrigerators with vials containing unknown liquids,” police said.

Shortly before 6 a.m., a Metro SWAT team served a search warrant at the home on Sugar Springs Drive near Washington Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard to search for a possible “biological laboratory” inside the home. A second location was also searched, but no lab was located.

An LLC tied to the home’s county records matches the name of a company that is part of an ongoing federal case in California involving a biological laboratory there. In that case, a Chinese citizen faces federal charges for allegedly manufacturing and distributing misbranded medical devices, according to federal prosecutors.

President Trump on Sunday announced that the Trump Kennedy Center would be shuttered for two years for major renovations.

Last year, the Kennedy Center Board elected President Trump as Board Chair.

The Trump Kennedy Center will close down on July 4, 2026 and reopen as a “World Class Bastion of Arts, Music, and Entertainment.”

Full statement from President Trump:

After a one year review of The Trump Kennedy Center, that has taken place with Contractors, Musical Experts, Art Institutions, and other Advisors and Consultants, deciding between either Construction with Closure and Re-Opening or, Partial Construction while continuing Entertainment Operations through a much longer period of time, working in and around the Performances,

I have determined that The Trump Kennedy Center, if temporarily closed for Construction, Revitalization, and Complete Rebuilding, can be, without question, the finest Performing Arts Facility of its kind, anywhere in the World.

In other words, if we don’t close, the quality of Construction will not be nearly as good, and the time to completion, because of interruptions with Audiences from the many Events using the Facility, will be much longer. The temporary closure will produce a much faster and higher quality result!

Based on these findings, and totally subject to Board approval, I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything that has taken place with respect to such a Facility before.

Therefore, The Trump Kennedy Center will close on July 4th, 2026, in honor of the 250th Anniversary of our Country, whereupon we will simultaneously begin Construction of the new and spectacular Entertainment Complex. Financing is completed, and fully in place!

This important decision, based on input from many Highly Respected Experts, will take a tired, broken, and dilapidated Center, one that has been in bad condition, both financially and structurally for many years, and turn it into a World Class Bastion of Arts, Music, and Entertainment, far better than it has ever been before.

America will be very proud of its new and beautiful Landmark for many generations to come. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Singer Kehlani won a Grammy for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance for her hit song “Folded.”

The far-left singer shouted “f*ck ICE!” during her acceptance speech on Sunday afternoon.

“I hope everybody’s inspired to join together as a community of artists and speak out against what’s going on,” Kehlani said.

“I’m gonna leave this and say, F*ck ICE!” she said.

“I really wanted to say f*ck ICE but I think they needed some couth on the carpet or something,” the brainless tattooed singer said.

“I’m a little couthless ruthless,” she said.

“I think everybody — we’re too powerful of a group to all be in a room at the same time and not make some kind of statement in our country, so yeah, it’s just brainless to me,” she said.

A federal appeals court tossed out a Justice Department misconduct complaint against Judge James Boasberg.

AS previously reported, DC Chief Judge James Boasberg and other DC Judges admitted bias against the Trump Administration during a March 2025 judicial conference with Chief Justice Roberts, according to a memo obtained by The Federalist.

For the last year, DC Circuit Court Judges have engaged in a judicial coup against President Trump.

Far-left DC judges James Boasberg, Beryl Howell, Chutkan, Berman Jackson and others have ruled against President Trump in every case related to deportations and firings in the Executive Branch.

Boasberg, an Obama appointee, is one of the worst offenders. Judge Boasberg not only demanded planes deporting illegals turn around midair, he said he found probable cause to hold Trump Admin officials in criminal contempt for defying his court order.

According to The Federalist, Boasberg discussed pending lawsuits and actually named a defendant during the judicial conference.

“Federal judge James Boasberg advised Chief Justice John Roberts and some two dozen other judges that his D.C. colleagues were “concern[ed] that the Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts leading to a constitutional crisis,” according to a memorandum obtained exclusively by The Federalist. That Judge Boasberg and his fellow D.C. District Court judges would discuss how a named Defendant in numerous pending lawsuits might respond to an adverse ruling is shocking. Equally outrageous is those judges’ clear disregard for the presumption of regularity — a presumption that requires a court to presume public officials properly discharged their official duties, The Federalist reported.

Last July, US Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the Justice Department filed a misconduct complaint against Judge James Boasberg for making ‘improper public comments’ and admitting bias against the Trump Administration.

Today at my direction, @TheJusticeDept filed a misconduct complaint against U.S. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg for making improper public comments about President Trump and his Administration.

These comments have undermined the integrity of the judiciary, and we will…

— Attorney General Pamela Bondi (@AGPamBondi) July 28, 2025

The Chief Judge of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the complaint and said Boasberg’s comments disparaging Trump don’t constitute a conduct violation.

Judge Sutton is a George W. Bush appointee.

“A federal appeals court threw out the Justice Department’s misconduct complaint that accused the Washington chief federal trial judge of making “improper” remarks about President Donald Trump at a closed-door judiciary meeting last year,” Bloomberg Law reported.

“Chief Judge Jeffrey Sutton of the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit dismissed the complaint against Chief Judge James “Jeb” Boasberg, who is overseeing high-profile litigation over the administration’s decision to send alleged gang members to a Salvadoran prison under a wartime deportation authority,” Bloomberg reported.

Chloe Day School, a “progressive” public preschool in New York City, staged an anti-ICE protest and held anti-Trump signs in the classroom.

“The Chloe Day School and Wellness Center is a public preschool and wellness space that takes a progressive approach to learning, child development, and family empowerment,” Chloe Day School says.

“We believe children are naturally curious and capable of making meaningful discoveries when given opportunities to explore, play, and engage with their environment,” the school says.

“Children thrive best when supported by strong and healthy families,” they said.

“We are a progressive, trauma-informed Early Childhood program and Summer Arts Camp. We are a Reggio Emilia-inspired school that believes in diversity and inclusion,” the school boasts on its website.

Libs of TikTok posted a video of children at Chloe Day School protesting ICE and expressing anger over the immigration operations.

“I feel angry because I don’t like to see others hurt or taken away from their families,” a child said after being coached by the teacher.

The teacher coached other children to say, “stop the hating!.”

“What do we want to tell people?” the teacher said to the children.

“Enough is enough! Stop hurting people!” the children shouted.

“And what do we want to say as a school?” the teacher shouted.

“Love is enough! Stop hurting people!” the children said.

Fox News reporter Matt Finn confronted Don Lemon after federal prosecutors charged him for storming a church in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The feds early Friday morning arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Jamael Lydell Lundy and Georgia Fort in connection with the “coordinated” attack on Cities Church.

Don Lemon entered Cities Church with a mob of screaming leftists and livestreamed the crime.

Lemon said storming a church, shouting down the pastor, and terrorizing children is what the First Amendment is all about.

The indictment said Don Lemon “oppressed, threatened, and intimidated the Church’s congregants and pastors by physically occupying most of the main aisle and rows of chairs near the front of the Church, engaging in menacing and threatening behavior…”

The indictment also alleges Don Lemon “physically obstructed” congregants as they “attempted to exit and/or move about within the Church.”

“Don! Don! The indictment says you blocked people!” Matt Finn shouted.

“People thought this was a church shooting!” he shouted.

“You kissed the organizer on camera!”

Don Lemon ignored the Fox News reporter and shook hands with supporters.

Newly released surveillance video shows a bystander tackling a man who pushed his way through a TSA checkpoint at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

The bystander, Mark Thomas, tackled and bodyslammed Fabian Leon after he breached the TSA checkpoint late last year.

“I saw him knock over the first dude and then a TSA agent tried to grab him, and once he was going to get past me, I was just like, okay, I’ll just take over if I can,” Mark Thomas told Fox 5.

Fabian Leon was charged with simple battery and avoiding security measures.

WATCH:

Fox 5 Atlanta reported:

Newly released surveillance video shows how quickly a man accused of breaching the main TSA checkpoint at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport was stopped, just feet from getting through the entire security checkpoint.

The video, obtained by FOX 5 through a public records request, shows what police say is 40-year-old Fabian Leon moving through the airport before attempting to enter the TSA checkpoint on the morning of Oct. 30, around 8:30 a.m.

Police say Leon tried to go through one lane and was stopped, then shifted toward another lane where bystander Mark Thomas was standing.

Thomas says a TSA officer yelled “breach,” prompting him to turn around and react without hesitation.

A federal judge on Saturday ordered the release of 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his illegal alien father from an ICE detention center in Texas.

Five-year-old Liam was taken into ICE ‘custody’ after his illegal alien parents abandoned him in Minnesota while fleeing agents.

The fake news claimed the 5-year-old child was “detained” by ICE and taken away from his parents.

The child was taken to the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in San Antonio, Texas, after he was abandoned by his illegal alien parents.

On Saturday, Judge Fred Biery, a Clinton appointee ordered Liam Ramos and his father Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias released.

Fox News reported:

A federal judge on Saturday gave the Trump administration three days to release a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father from immigration detention in Texas following an emergency request.

Videos of Liam Conejo Ramos, 5, being taken into custody along with his father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Minneapolis earlier this month sparked outrage.

U.S. District Judge Fred Biery, a Clinton nominee, wrote in his ruling that “the case has its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children,” according to the order obtained by Fox News Digital.

He invoked the Declaration of Independence in the ruling, saying, “Thirty-three-year-old Thomas Jefferson enumerated grievances against a would-be authoritarian king over our nascent nation. Among others were: 1. ‘He has sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our People.'”

President Trump on Saturday instructed Department of Homeland Security Chief Kristi Noem to be “forceful” against far-left rioters who attack federal property.

Trump criticized local police in Eugene, Oregon, for allowing anti-ICE rioters to break into a federal building and cause damage.

“Local Police did nothing in order to stop it. We will not let that happen anymore! If Local Governments are unable to handle the Insurrectionists, Agitators, and Anarchists, we will immediately go to the location where such help is requested, and take care of the situation very easily and methodically, just as we did the Los Angeles Riots one year ago…” President Trump said.

President Trump also said federal agents won’t help cities besieged by anti-ICE rioters unless they request it.

President Trump’s full statement:

I have instructed Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, that under no circumstances are we going to participate in various poorly run Democrat Cities with regard to their Protests and/or Riots unless, and until, they ask us for help. We will, however, guard, and very powerfully so, any and all Federal Buildings that are being attacked by these highly paid Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrectionists.

Please be aware that I have instructed ICE and/or Border Patrol to be very forceful in this protection of Federal Government Property. There will be no spitting in the faces of our Officers, there will be no punching or kicking the headlights of our cars, and there will be no rock or brick throwing at our vehicles, or at our Patriot Warriors. If there is, those people will suffer an equal, or more, consequence.

In the meantime, by copy of this Statement, I am informing Local Governments, as I did in Los Angeles when they were rioting at the end of the Biden Term, that you must protect your own State and Local Property.

In addition, it is your obligation to also protect our Federal Property, Buildings, Parks, and everything else. We are there to protect Federal Property, only as a back up, in that it is Local and State Responsibility to do so. Last night in Eugene, Oregon, these criminals broke into a Federal Building, and did great damage, also scaring and harassing the hardworking employees.

Local Police did nothing in order to stop it. We will not let that happen anymore! If Local Governments are unable to handle the Insurrectionists, Agitators, and Anarchists, we will immediately go to the location where such help is requested, and take care of the situation very easily and methodically, just as we did the Los Angeles Riots one year ago, where the Police Chief said that, “We couldn’t have done it without the help of the Federal Government.”

Therefore, to all complaining Local Governments, Governors, and Mayors, let us know when you are ready, and we will be there — But, before we do so, you must use the word, “PLEASE.” Remember that I stated, in the strongest of language, to BEWARE — ICE, Border Patrol or, if necessary, our Military, will be extremely powerful and tough in the protection of our Federal Property.

We will not allow our Courthouses, Federal Buildings, or anything else under our protection, to be damaged in any way, shape, or form.

I was elected on a Policy of Border Control (which has now been perfected!), National Security, and LAW AND ORDER — That’s what America wants, and that’s what America is getting! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Another day, another corrupt Democrat.

Georgia Democrat State Rep. Dexter Sharper was charged with defrauding the federal government by falsely claiming unemployment while he earned income.

According to federal prosecutors, Rep. Sharper collected nearly $14,000 in emergency Covid benefits while earning money from income.

“While many of his constituents and fellow citizens were losing jobs and desperately needed unemployment assistance during the pandemic, Representative Sharper allegedly pretended to be out of work to collect a share of unemployment benefits for himself,” said US Attorney Theodore Hertzberg.

“When government officials lie to take money, and do it while holding an elected office, it violates the trust of citizens and weakens faith in our elected government,” he added.

CBS News reported:

A third member of the Georgia House of Representatives has been accused of lying to collect thousands of dollars in unemployment benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rep. Dexter L. Sharper, who represents District 177, is the latest Democratic lawmaker facing federal charges of making false statements to obtain funds administered by the U.S. Department of Labor.

Investigators say Sharper applied for unemployment benefits from April 2020 to May 2021, claiming to have had only one employer, Dexter Sharper Party Rental. In the application, Sharper allegedly stated that he had not worked since March 13, 2020, claiming in 38 separate weekly certifications that he had not worked and was actively seeking employment.

However, prosecutors say the Valdosta man was working in the Georgia General Assembly in addition to running his party rental business and performing as a musician.

Authorities say Sharper collected more than $13,000 of unemployment assistance benefits during that time.

Dexter Sharper is the third Democrat state lawmaker to be charged with defrauding the federal government in the last few months.

Earlier this month, Georgia state Rep. Karen Bennett was indicted by a federal grand jury for Covid fraud.

Bennett is a pro-BLM, defund the police activist.

Prosecutors said Bennett defrauded taxpayers after she obtained COVID-19 unemployment benefits, despite her business remaining open during the pandemic.

She was charged with one count of false statements.

Last month, Georgia Democrat state legislator Sharon Henderson was arrested and charged with defrauding the federal government.

Henderson was indicted for Covid pandemic unemployment fraud.

A federal grand jury charged Henderson with two counts of theft of government funds and ten counts of making false statements.

A federal judge on Saturday rejected an emergency effort to block Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis.

Earlier this month, Minneapolis, St. Paul and the State of Minnesota filed a lawsuit to stop Operations Metro Surge.

US District Court Judge Katherine Menendez, a Biden appointee, denied a request for an emergency injunction to stop ICE’s Operation Metro Surge.

Judge Menendez, citing an Eighth Circuit Court ruling, said the plaintiffs failed to meet the high legal bar required to stop the massive immigration enforcement operation.

“The Eighth Circuit has recently reiterated that entry of an injunction barring the federal government from enforcing federal law imposes significant harm on the government,” the judge wrote in a 30-page order reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.

“And Defendants have presented evidence that entry of the injunction requested by Plaintiffs would harm the federal government’s efforts to enforce federal immigration laws,” Menendez wrote.

“Balancing the harms described by Plaintiffs against the interests of Defendants is not as straightforward as Plaintiffs suggest,” the judge said.

“Ultimately, the Court finds that the balance of harms does not decisively favor an injunction. Paired with the Court’s finding of an insufficient likelihood of success on the merits, the Court need not further weigh the competing interests of the parties,” the judge wrote.

The Department of Homeland Security said more than 3,000 dangerous illegal aliens have been arrested in Minneapolis thanks to ICE’s Operation Metro Surge.

“Today, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the following statement and information regarding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests of dangerous criminal illegal aliens in Minneapolis, Minnesota over the weekend including murderers, rapists, gang members, and perpetrators of fraud,” the DHS said last week.

“We have arrested over 10,000 criminal illegal aliens who were killing Americans, hurting children and reigning terror in Minneapolis because Tim Walz and Jacob Frey refuse to protect their own people and instead protect criminals,” said Secretary Kristi Noem.

“In the last 6 weeks, our brave DHS law enforcement have arrested 3,000 criminal illegal aliens including vicious murderers, rapists, child pedophiles, and incredibly dangerous individuals. A huge victory for public safety,” Noem said.

President Trump on Friday evening nominated Brett Matsumoto as the next Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

“For many years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, under WEAK and STUPID people, has been FAILING American Businesses, Policymakers, and Families by releasing VERY inaccurate numbers,” Trump said on Truth Social.

“That is why I FIRED the former Commissioner, and am pleased to nominate the very talented Brett Matsumoto as the next Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Brett was a Supervisory Research Economist for the BLS, but is now serving as a Senior Economist on the Trump Council of Economic Advisers, like he did in my First Term,” Trump said.

“I am confident that Brett has the expertise to QUICKLY fix the long history of issues at the BLS on behalf of the American People. Brett Matsumoto is a Brilliant, Reputable, and Trusted Economist who will restore GREATNESS to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Congratulations Brett!” Trump added.

President Trump previously fired the Biden-appointed Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) after she ‘faked’ the jobs numbers before the 2024 election to try to boost Kamala Harris’s chances of a victory.

Last summer Dr. Erika McEntarfer was promptly fired after an abysmal July jobs report. The US only added 73,000 jobs in July and the previous months were all revised down.

Trump nominated conservative economist Dr. E.J. Antoni to replace McEntarfaer as the next Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner but he ultimately withdrew the nomination.

Dr. E.J. Antoni is a favorite guest on the Bannon War Room. E.J. Antoni is currently the Chief Economist and Richard Aster Fellow, in the Heritage Foundation’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget.

Antoni’s work has been featured in a variety of news outlets, including Fox News and Fox Business, Wall Street Journal, Townhall, Bloomberg, Daily Caller, National Review, CNBC, Washington Times, Washington Examiner, Breitbart, The Federalist, and The War Room.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed the White House pulled Dr. Antoni’s nomination as head of BLS because he didn’t have the votes.

RINO Senators Collins and Murkowski did not meet with Antoni.

“We will be announcing a replacement nominee very soon,” Karoline Leavitt said.

Three illegal aliens were arrested for opening fire on a Texas freeway and shooting at a family in a road rage incident.

Two of the aliens, Anthony Acevedo and Jose Alarcon-Sanchez were arrested after they fired their weapons from the Margaret McDermott Bridge on New Year’s Eve.

The third alien, Anderson Derce Lara, was arrested after he opened fire on a Texas family in a road rage incident in November.

The illegals posted the shocking shooting footage to social media.

WATCH:

Fox 4 News reported:

Two men have been arrested in connection with a viral New Year’s Eve gunfire incident on a downtown bridge, while a third man has been charged in a separate road-rage shooting involving children, Dallas police announced Wednesday.

The investigation began after social media videos, viewed worldwide, showed individuals firing weapons from the Margaret McDermott Bridge on Interstate 30. Detectives recovered more than 100 shell casings from the scene, just west of the city’s downtown core.

Police identified the suspects in the bridge shooting as Anthony Acevedo, 20, and Jose Alarcon-Sanchez, 18, both residents of Grand Prairie. Investigators determined that Alarcon-Sanchez had been arrested by Grand Prairie police for a similar offense in that city during the early morning hours of New Year’s Day.

Both men face charges of discharging a firearm in certain municipalities, a Class A misdemeanor. Acevedo has since been released on bond, while Alarcon-Sanchez remains in custody on an immigration hold.
