Trump Expands Tough ‘Travel Ban,’
Progressives Are Weirdly Quiet

Original Article

President Donald Trump has expanded his regulatory curbs on migration to 39 countries, and the new rules could slash the inflow of Islamic migrants by 40 percent, according to the pro-migration Cato Institute. Yet pro-migration advocates have been almost silent about the dramatic new rules, even though they staged frenzied 2017 protests against a “Muslim travel ban” when Trump imposed softer curbs in his first year in office. For example, the National Immigration Law Center issued a mere three-sentence condemnation when the new rules were first announced. The progressive passivity is notable, said Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “No question, and [the 2026 rule] is much broader too,”

FTA: "Trump’s upgraded and expanded 2026 rule even blocks the spouses and kids of legalized migrants. The silence is dramatic and important because it shows how far Trump and his voters have successfully shifted the national debate over legal and illegal migration since he was first elected in 2016."

I'm with #2 and #4. "the new rules COULD slash the inflow of Islamic migrants by 40 percent" should read "the new rules WILL slash the inflow of Islamic migrants by 100 percent". Winston Churchill had it right, many years ago: "Islam in a man is like rabies in a dog."

A deeply unsettling story from Waukesha, Wisconsin, reveals that a teen murdered his parents — with a greater goal of killing President Donald Trump. According to local Fox station WITI-TV, 18-year-old Nikita Casap admitted and pleaded guilty to murdering his own mother and stepfather in their home. That alone is horrific, but Casap’s reason for the monstrous act is raising even more eyebrows. The Associated Press reported that Casap killed his parents with an intent to steal their money to help fund a plot to assassinate President Donald Trump. “The killing of his parents appeared to be an effort to obtain the financial means

MINNEAPOLIS — Renee Nicole Good, the mom who was killed by a federal agent after veering her car toward him, was an anti-ICE “warrior” and was part of a group of activists who worked to “document and resist” the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota, The Post can reveal. Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said. “She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school, told The Post

A Democrat lawmaker contended during a hearing on Wednesday about alleged widespread fraud in Minnesota that her colleagues should focus on crimes perpetrated by “white men” and American citizens instead of demonizing Somalis. During the U.S. House Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. Emily Randall (D-WA) used her time during the questioning of Republican Minnesota state Rep. Kristan Robbins to launch off on a tirade about white men and Jan. 6 “insurrectionists,” Fox News reported. “What percentage of sexual assaults in the United States are committed by White men?” Randall asked Robbins. “Fifty-seven percent.” Randall went on to cite dozens of people she described as “Jan. 6 insurrectionists”
Budget Airline Cancels Its Deportation

The low-cost Avelo Airlines has cancelled its contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Less than a year after signing a deal to carry out deportation flights for ICE, the airline will close its base in Mesa, Arizona later this month. “The program provided short-term benefits but ultimately did not deliver enough consistent and predictable revenue to overcome its operational complexity and costs,” a company spokesperson said. Meanwhile, CEO Andrew Levy cited “political controversy” as their reason for canceling the contract. "We moved a portion of our fleet into a government program which promised more financial stability but placed us in the center of a political controversy,” he wrote.

The lesson in Minnesota or in this case out of Pennsylvania is that while America’s welfare rats may be too dumb and lack ambition to do anything more than sign up for welfare, there are malicious third worlders with the knack to really game the system and cash in on the welfare state. Consider the allegations made by Pennsylvania in Mohammad’s case. Pennsylvania’s attorney general has charged a McCandless couple with running an “elaborate scheme” to illegally buy food stamps at a cut rate, use them to purchase nearly $180,000 in food from area stores, then resell the items at their Pittsburgh deli and restaurant.

The cash moved overseas in luggage by Somali couriers from the Minneapolis airport was 10 to 100 times larger than the total foreign exodus of money at other larger American airports the last two years, officials tell Just the News. Homeland Security Department officials said the statistics they have gathered in recent weeks show the movement of cash out of Minnesota was substantially abnormal and should have raised red flags during the Biden administration, long before the Trump administration began investigating it as part of a major fraud scheme that stole billions from taxpayers in the state.

Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison (D.) is reportedly considering a run for governor following Tim Walz’s (D.) exit from the race amid a sprawling Somali welfare fraud scheme that happened under his watch. A person familiar with Ellison’s thinking told the Star Tribune that the left-wing prosecutor is weighing a gubernatorial bid. In the wake of Walz’s decision to end his campaign, Ellison called Walz a "remarkable leader" who left a "legacy to be damn proud of." Ellison’s interest in the race comes as he faces mounting scrutiny over his own handling of the Somali welfare fraud scandal.

House appropriators plan to strike Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s $1 million earmark for a Somali-led organization from the lower chamber’s funding package Wednesday, as the presence of the carveout threatened to tank the shutdown-preventing bill. Omar’s earmark was for Generation Hope’s “Justice Empowerment Initiative” in her district and was tucked into the Commerce, Science, and Justice minibus, which will provide funding for the Commerce, Energy, Interior, and Justice departments, in addition to other related agencies. Republican Oklahoma Rep. Tom Cole, who chairs the Appropriations Committee, told reporters he cannot allow one member’s project to derail a carefully negotiated full-year funding bill with the Jan. 30 funding deadline fast approaching.

The Somali-dominated Democratic political machine in Minnesota successfully silenced hundreds of government experts who tracked the huge flow of taxpayer funds through Somali-run businesses, a top Minnesota Republican told a House hearing on Wednesday. Up to 1,000 government auditors, accountants, and program managers were silenced by Democratic threats, Minnesota House Rep.

Federal officials have begun investigating the long-ignored shipping of at least $700 million in U.S. cash by Somalis in air travel luggage out of Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. Witnesses say that the cash was legally flown out to Somalia and other countries and that TSA routinely flagged the money to their superiors. The cash, in bundles of $1 million or more, were packed in passenger luggage and shown to airport security officials by migrants flying back to Somalia-area airports, as well as other African countries and places in the Middle East. Biden’s officials did not try to investigate any of these massive cash transfers during his term in office.

Dramatic video purportedly shows the moment an ICE agent opened fire and killed a 37-year-old woman who attempted to barrel her SUV into the officer’s path in Minneapolis Wednesday morning — as the mayor furiously demanded the agency “get the f–k out” of the city. In the footage being widely circulated on social media from varying angles, ICE officers approach a plum-colored Honda Pilot and order the driver out of the vehicle after she blocked the path of their truck. As one of the agents attempts to open the door, she quickly throws the car into reverse before trying to speed forward in the direction of another agent in her path.

The Pentagon has ordered an investigation into whether the presence of women in 'tip of the spear' combat roles is damaging the military's ability to win wars. A leaked memo obtained by NPR reveals that defense bosses are launching a grueling six–month review of thousands of female soldiers and Marines currently serving in infantry, armor and artillery units. In a private online support group leaked exclusively to the Daily Mail, one service member raged against the double standard, writing: 'You mean your guys can't focus on the mission without trying to stick it in... not my problem.'

President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed a presidential memorandum directing the U.S. to withdraw from 66 international organizations, ordering executive departments and agencies to cease participation in and funding of entities the administration says no longer serve U.S. interests. The memorandum follows a State Department review ordered earlier this year under Executive Order 14199 and applies to 35 non-United Nations organizations and 31 United Nations entities, according to the White House. In the memorandum, Trump said he reviewed Secretary Rubio's findings and determined it is "contrary to the interests of the U.S. to remain a member of, participate in, or otherwise provide support" to the listed organizations.

NBC News reported that a group of people began trying to block ICE agents as they were carrying out “targeted operations” in Minneapolis. In the course of this, a woman allegedly used her vehicle to attack agents. Homeland Security posted to X, “Today, ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers and one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism.”

As CBS News has reported before, the notorious 520-calorie sandwich contains just five simple ingredients: seasoned boneless pork dipped in BBQ sauce, sliced onions, and dill pickles in a toasted homestyle bun.

It’s the story dominating headlines across America Wednesday night: an anti-ICE activist refused to heed law enforcement personnel’s orders to exit her vehicle — which was blocking the road in an attempt to impede a federal operation — and instead jammed the accelerator and struck an officer. He fired back, killing her. The opposing views on what went down are stark: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called the deceased driver, now identified as 37-year-old mother Renee Nicole Good, a “domestic terrorist” and said ICE agents were entirely justified in their actions. Meanwhile, leftists like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz
