Original Article

A dozen congressional Democrats are suing the Trump administration to gain unfettered access to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities. The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in the District of Columbia’s federal court, accuses ICE and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of improperly blocking congressional oversight into immigration detention centers and ICE field offices, according to court documents. The Trump administration, in turn, is accusing Democrats of not following protocol and grandstanding for fundraising purposes. “Nevertheless, since June 2025, each Plaintiff, in his or her official capacity as an individual member of Congress, has attempted to obtain information about conditions at a DHS facility used to detain or otherwise house noncitizens,”

Comments:

Baseless lawsuit.

Just let them in. Be sure and lock the doors while they are inside for security reasons though.

The worse the conditions, the better prepared the illegal alien invaders will be to go back home. Congressional democrats should have used their powers of oversight at the border when the alien hordes were pouring in under the blind eyes of Biden and Mayorkas.

If they get in they will lie and say the ham in the sandwich is gray, and the temperature at the light bulb is 110 degrees. Who will believe them? And who will care anyway if the gangbanger eating the gray ham is a murderer and a rapist? If these democrats want to defend evil, showcase it! Well I guess they need a certain number of rapists around so they can justify abortion on demand.

Members of Congress can make an appointment to see detention facilities within their own jurisdictions. They cannot show up unannounced with CNN cameras to try to crash through the doors. They are not God. They are weak performative politicians who love childish drama.

In normal times I would suspect ice of hiding something. Maybe they are. But nowadays, with congressional democrats riding hell bent to destroy America and hand the ashes to their illegal alien constituents, I believe it more likely they are there to exaggerate, lie and misrepresent. Why let the enemy in the gates?

The reason the Democrats always invite the press to these surprise visits to ICE facilities is they want to stage a confrontation. The reason the media goes along with this is the Democrats are certain to claim they were mistreated. Selective editing makes their claims appear to be true.

A radical judge used the race card on Thursday in the latest judicial ruling against the Trump Administration. As Politico reported, U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson, who is based in the People’s Republic of San Francisco, barred the Trump Administration from cancelling Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for migrants from the following countries: Nicaragua, Honduras, and Nepal. Approximately 63,000 people from these countries were supposed to be deported by September 8 because DHS Secretary Kristi Noem had imposed a deadline. 53,000 of the migrants are from Honduras, while about 3,000 are from Nicaragua and roughly 7,500 from Nepal. Now, TPS status for Hondurans, Nepalis, and Nicaraguans has been extended until Nov. 18.

The Department of Homeland Security has taken a female-led crime ring off the streets in Massachusetts. Six women, illegally in the United States from Romania with Maryland addresses, worked to burglarize a number of homes in multiple states. They've been evading police after stealing private property and violating U.S. immigration law. "Mihaela Ion, a criminal illegal alien from Romania, whose criminal history includes conspiracy to commit breaking and entering," DHS details about one of the women. "Jajela Chiciu, a criminal illegal alien from Romania, whose criminal history includes multiple thefts and charged with conspiracy, with four known offenses involving stolen property under $1,500."

The 2026 Senate race has gotten even better for the GOP. Michael Whatley, chairman of the Republican National Committee, has thrown his hat in the ring to replace hapless RINO Sen. Thom Tillis. [Tweet] Whatley’s announcement came just days after President Donald Trump made a post on Truth Social calling on North Carolinians to encourage the RNC co-chair to run: Mike would make an unbelievable Senator from North Carolina. He is fantastic at everything he does, and he was certainly great at the RNC where, in the Presidential Election, we won every Swing State, the Popular Vote, and the Electoral College by a landslide!

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has dramatically ramped up prosecutions stemming from anti-deportation riots in central California that erupted in June, a local federal prosecutor said Wednesday. Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, a President Donald Trump appointee, said in a X post that his office has charged 53 people with “assaults on [federal] agents or interference with immigration enforcement” since rioters began setting fires and assaulting law enforcement in Los Angeles in response to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids. The number represents a large jump from June 17, when Essayli said his team had charged “more than 20” defendants.

A not-so-bright criminal learned what it means to “poke the bear.” A Florida man (you already know this story is going to be good) was arrested after selling the signs he allegedly stole from Smokey the Bear on Facebook Marketplace. The best part… Smokey helped nab the suspect, according to Florida Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson.

You can’t do it in a discriminatory fashion.” And stated “folks are watching for” if Republicans will follow voting rights protections. Co-host A Martínez asked, [relevant exchange begins around 2:10] “But Democrats had redistricting efforts in the past, Illinois, Oregon, New Mexico, in recent years, to their advantage.

Canadian churches are being fined thousands of dollars and harassed by leftist protesters for hosting performances by Christian singer and conservative activist Sean Feucht, who said he has been labeled an “extremist” for his religious beliefs. Feucht, a former Republican candidate for a California congressional seat and founder of the “Let Us Worship” movement, has faced a slew of forced cancellations across his Canadian tour this month by city governments, the Vancouver Sun reported. Six of his concerts in Central and Eastern Canada were cancelled last week, and churches that went against the government to host him anyway are facing fines of $2,500, according to the Canadian Press.

An Islamic center in Minnesota penned a gushing letter of support for a Somalian migrant convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl. Qalinle Ibrahim Dirie, 42, was convicted in May of first-degree criminal sexual conduct after he was found guilty of abducting the girl from her backyard and raping her in June 2024. Following his conviction, Dirie's local Islamic center, Al-Ihsan Islamic Center in St. Paul, submitted a heartfelt letter begging Hennepin County District Court Judge Michael Burns to consider the convicted criminal's 'character' before delivering a sentence, Alpha News reported.

Nancy Pelosi appeared rattled and visibly annoyed during a CNN interview this week when anchor Jake Tapper confronted her with Donald Trump’s accusations of insider trading. The former House speaker had joined the program to discuss the 60th anniversary of Medicaid, but things quickly went off-script when Tapper tried to bring up Trump’s pointed remarks. Tapper began to quote Trump, saying, “Nancy Pelosi became rich—” before Pelosi abruptly cut him off. “Why—why do you have to read that?” she snapped, clearly not happy with where the discussion was going.

President Donald J. Trump has expressed his commitment to solving this problem on behalf of future Administrations and the American people. The White House is one of the most beautiful and historic buildings in the world, yet the White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders and other countries without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main building entrance.

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. I’d like to talk about illegal immigration, but specifically about the new president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum. She’s been very vocal about U.S. policy toward Mexico. For example, she said she would offer legal counsel to her citizens that were here illegally that were picked up, she thought, unfairly or too violently by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.She also said that the United States had no business taxing remittances—that is money that Mexican nationals here, for the most part illegally, send back to Mexico. She said, “Do not come into Mexican national ground if you’re going after the cartels.”

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has privately discussed the idea of running for political office next year in Tennessee, according to two people who have spoken directly with him about it. If Hegseth were to follow through on the discussions, it would amount to a major leadership shake-up at the department that oversees the American military and millions of federal employees. The Defense Department bars civilian employees from running for political office, meaning Hegseth would have to resign to do so. In a statement, Sean Parnell, the Pentagon’s chief spokesman, said, “Hegseth’s focus remains solely on serving under President Trump.”
