Former DHS official points to dramatic rise in Chinese nationals crossing southern border as potential national security threat

One border security expert said the massive number of Chinese illegal immigrants who crossed the United States border during the Biden administration poses a “national security concern.”

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported 122 illegal immigrants to China June 3, many of whom were convicted of murder, drug trafficking, rape and human smuggling. Officials said the individuals were taken to China on a “special high risk charter flight.”

The Department of Justice on Tuesday charged seven Chinese nationals after they allegedly operated a multimillion- dollar marijuana trafficking ring. According to the Justice Department, the suspects smuggled illegal immigrants through the U.S.-Mexico border to work in marijuana grow houses.I

“This case pulls back the curtain on a sprawling criminal enterprise that exploited our immigration system and our communities for personal gain,” said U.S. Attorney Leah Foley. 

“These defendants allegedly turned quiet homes across the Northeast into hubs for a criminal enterprise, building a multimillion-dollar black market operation off the backs of an illegal workforce and using our neighborhoods as cover. That ends today.”

In fiscal year 2024 alone, according to the House Committee on Homeland Security, over 24,376 Chinese nationals were encountered and 24,214 were apprehended. In March 2024 alone, border encounters of Chinese nationals increased over 8,000% when compared to March 2021. The report was released in April 2024.

Lora Ries, director of the Heritage Foundation’s Border Security and Immigration Center and former Department of Homeland Security acting deputy chief of staff, told Fox News Digital in an interview that the sharp increase in Chinese nationals crossing the southern border is “absolutely” a national security concern.

China uses everything at its disposable to undermine the United States. For instance, just a couple of weeks ago Airport Security arrested two Chinese Nationals trying to import an agricultural weapon into the Homeland. They were caught but we can bet a bottom dollar that others weren’t. Their paradigm is the same as drug smugglers, for everyone that gets tagged, three more make across. And who can’t forget the Balloon Affair.

“The numbers rose rapidly during the Biden administration. I mean, pre-Biden, Customs and Border Protection would see about 1,000 Chinese nationals a month nationwide, whether that was at the ports of entry or between ports of entry. And, during Biden’s four years, that rose rapidly to 2,000, up to 7,000 a month. It even hit over 8,000 one month in December of 2023. And most of these were between the ports of entry,” Ries said. 

Ries fears the Chinese Communist Party was using the southern border as a “tactic” against the U.S. during former President Biden’s administration.

“Given the many tactics that the Chinese Communist Party uses against the U.S. — whether that is sending fentanyl precursor ingredients to Mexico to be smuggled into the U.S., killing hundreds of thousands of Americans, COVID-19 from Wuhan, spy balloons, buying farmland near military bases — we have to assume that the CCP took advantage of the open border during Biden’s years and sent many Chinese nationals with mal-intent,” Ries said.

Zohran Mamdani is giving NYC businesses fair notice: He’s coming after them

Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani is giving business leaders fair warning: He promised he’d tax them and wealthy New Yorkers if elected — and he means to keep that promise.

He basically dared them to leave the city if he did.

Say goodbye to city tax revenue and jobs and hello to a downward spiral, if that happens.

On Tuesday, the Dem front-runner met with 100 of the city’s top business leaders and made absolutely no attempt to hide his plans.

“He didn’t back away from any policy position,” one attendee told The Post. 

Who can blame them?

The far-left Democrat is already on record saying that billionaires shouldn’t exist.

For years, Mamdani and his socialist pals have plotted to take power in “the center of US capitalism,” and now they’re on the verge of getting “a chance to flex its muscles.”

Congress sends $9B spending cuts package to Trump’s desk after late-night House vote

House Speaker Mike Johnson secures victory as GOP uses rare fiscal tool to block USAID and public broadcasting funds

By Elizabeth Elkind Fox News

Congress is officially sending a package detailing $9 billion in spending cuts to President Donald Trump’s desk, minutes after midnight on Friday.

The bill, called a “rescissions package,” was approved by the House of Representatives in a late-night 216 to 213 vote after intense debate between Republicans and Democrats. Just two Republicans, Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., and Mike Turner, R-Ohio, voted in opposition.

Friday was also the deadline for passing the legislation, otherwise the White House would be forced to re-obligate those funds as planned.

Imagine Democrats giving illegals billions of dollars. They are living in first class hotels. Many of them are raping your children, robbing you, murdering your loved ones. That is the Democrat party, a party of socialism, anarchy and chaos. But there are always Republicans who vote the Libtard Way, they are Murkowski, Collins and McConnell; a garbage can of trash.

THE LATEST: ‘Long overdue’: Senate Republicans ram through Trump’s clawback package with cuts to foreign aid, NPR

Two Senate Republicans join all Democrats to vote against cuts to ‘woke’ foreign aid and public broadcasting funding

By Alex Miller Fox News

Published July 17, 2025 2:31am EDT

Senate Republicans blasted through Democratic and internal opposition to pass President Donald Trump’s multibillion-dollar clawback package early Thursday morning.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said that it was a mission shared by the GOP and Trump, whose Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) identified many of the cuts included in the package.  

“I appreciate all the work the administration has done in identifying wasteful spending,” Thune said. “And now it’s time for the Senate to do its part to cut some of that waste out of the budget. It’s a small but important step toward fiscal sanity that we all should be able to agree is long overdue.”

The president’s rescissions package proposed cutting just shy of $8 billion from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and over $1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the government-backed funding arm for NPR and PBS.

Unlike the previous procedural votes, Vice President JD Vance was not needed to break a tie. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., voted against the preceding procedural votes to advance the package on Tuesday night, but ultimately backed the bill. sEE BELOW

The final vote tally was 51-48, with Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska joining every Democrat in voting against it. The package will now be sent to the House, which has until Friday to pass it. 

The $9 billion rescissions bill tees up cuts to “woke” spending on foreign aid programs and NPR and PBS that Congress previously approved. Republicans have pitched the bill as building on their quest to root out waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government.

Trump’s smaller, $9 billion package passed with nearly all Senate Republicans, while all Senate Democrats voted against it. Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., were the only Republicans to vote against the bill. 

Once debate has wrapped up on the bill, lawmakers will go through another vote-a-rama, where an unlimited number of amendments can be offered for the bill by either side of the aisle. Democrats will likely try to sideline or derail the package, while the GOP is expected to offer an amendment that would spare about $400 million in international HIV and AIDS funding from the chopping block.

The carveout for the Bush-era President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) was agreed to ahead of the vote and is backed by the White House. Trimming funding from the program rattled some Senate Republicans, who publicly and privately warned they may not support the bill unless a fix was found.

However, slashing the funding cut from the package could prove a tricky sell to the House, where Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has called on Senate Republicans to not change the bill.

They were crying like babies, many were heading to their “shrink'” others comtemplated suicide, and some were ready to try suicide by cop. What ever road they take, the taxpayer has no empathy for them. Empirical evidence confirms that those being laid off have never contributed to a Republican Candidate.

Among the roughly 1,350 workers laid off at the State Department last week were senior analysts in the bureau of intelligence, including people who specialize in Russia and Ukraine, according to several current and former U.S. officials.

The firings mean a loss of expertise as President Trump renews his efforts to settle the war between Russia and Ukraine, one of his top foreign policy goals. On Monday, Mr. Trump announced a new plan to send arms to Ukraine and threatened harsh economic penalties against Russia unless it agreed to a cease-fire.

The layoffs were among several at the department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research, commonly known as INR. The bureau employs no spies and does not conduct surveillance of its own, but provides analysis about world events to help guide U.S. diplomacy.

It is unclear how many intelligence analysts were dismissed on Friday, and the bureau still retains workers who will focus on Russia and Ukraine after the merger of two offices within INR. Ellen McCarthy, a former State Department official who led the bureau for two years during Mr. Trump’s first term, said that paring jobs from it was “shortsighted.”

We would not expect anything less from this Rag Sheet. The State Department will now operate with intensity, precision and decisivness. The bureaucrats and do-nothings are gone. Amen.

Throw away the key; the Iron Bar is waiting for this lying Mother F..k. Bubba can’t wait to get his hands on him.

Trump says ‘scam artist’ Adam Schiff must be ‘brought to justice’ for mortgage fraud after DOJ criminal referral

WASHINGTON — President Trump on Tuesday called for California Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff to be “brought to justice” for alleged mortgage fraud — after a federal housing agency sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department regarding Schiff’s ownership of a Maryland home.

“I have always suspected Shifty Adam Schiff was a scam artist. And now I learn that Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division have concluded that Adam Schiff has engaged in a sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“Adam Schiff said that his primary residence was in MARYLAND to get a cheaper mortgage and rip off America, when he must LIVE in CALIFORNIA because he was a Congressman from CALIFORNIA. I always knew Adam Schiff was a Crook,” the president wrote.

“The FRAUD began with the refinance of his Maryland property on February 6, 2009, and continued through multiple transactions until the Maryland property was correctly designated as a second home on October 13, 2020.”

Trump added: “Mortgage Fraud is very serious, and CROOKED Adam Schiff (now a Senator) needs to be brought to justice.”

A senior administration official told The Post that the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees Fannie Mae, sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department requesting further investigation.

“It is extremely serious and [Schiff] is not taking it seriously,” said that official — who added that the senator could face a criminal count for each time he paid his monthly mortgage bill.

Trump told reporters on the White House lawn Tuesday that “I would have thought he covered his bases a little bit better than that. Adam Schiff is a low-life, he deserves what he gets.”

Schiff is a former House intelligence committee chairman whose unproven claims about Trump’s ties to Russia enraged Republicans and led to his censure. He also served as chief manager in Trump’s 2020 Senate impeachment trial for pressuring Ukraine to investigate alleged Biden family corruption.

• A worker who fell from a greenhouse roof during a federal immigration raid has died, his family says.

Trump administration officials defended the aggressive campaign to find and deport unauthorized immigrants even as a cannabis farmworker was taken off life support two days after he plunged from a roof amid the mayhem of a Ventura County raid.

The death of Jaime Alanís Garcia, 57, announced Saturday by his family, comes amid a climate of increasing tension marked by weeks of militaristic raids, street protests and violent melees involving federal agents.

Alanís’ family said he was fleeing immigration agents at the Glass House Farms cannabis operation in Camarillo on Thursday when he climbed atop a greenhouse and accidentally fell 30 feet, suffering catastrophic injury.

But the Department of Homeland Security said that Alanís was not among those being pursued and that federal agents called in a medevac for him. Federal authorities said afterward that they detained 361 purported unlawful immigrants in the crackdowns at the site in Camarillo and another cannabis grow operation in Carpinteria owned by the same company, as well as protesters who allegedly sought to shut down the raid.

Four U.S. citizens were arrested on suspicion of assaulting or resisting officers, according to the DHS.

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has given Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, the go-ahead to dismantle the Education Department. Says the Court, “she can fire 1400 workers of the department.

President Trump predicts Elon Musk will find ‘hundreds of billions’ in waste in next DOGE directives

Trump said waste in the Education and Defense Departments are next on the chopping block

 By Taylor Penley Fox News

President Donald Trump detailed his plans to instruct DOGE lead, Elon Musk, to probe the Education and Defense Departments for wasteful spending. The President told Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier in an exclusive pre-Super Bowl interview that the billionaire entrepreneur has been a trustworthy ally in fulfilling his promise to cut the red tape. 

“He’s not gaining anything. In fact, I wonder how he can devote the time to it,” Trump said.

“I’m going to tell him very soon… to go check the Department of Education. He’s going to find the same thing. Then I’m going to go into the military. Let’s check the military. We’re going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse, and the people elected me on that.”

SHOOTER SHOT DEAD – ONE KILLED – TWO INJURED

One year ago, President Trump took a bullet to the ear in an attempted assassination attempt. Having survived this and one other, he went on to defeat his libtard opponent handily, to become the 47th President of the United States. Imagine if he did not win, what would become of America? We couldn’t even fathom what the future would bring.

The shooter made one singular $15 donation to the liberal ActBlue political action committee on January 20, 2021 — Biden’s Inauguration Day, the Intercept reported.

At the time of the donation, Crooks was 17-years-old. He registered to vote upon turning 18 in September of that same year as a member of the GOP, records show.

Why Crooks fired on the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is unclear.

The FBI has identified Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old man from western Pennsylvania, as the person who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.

Crooks reportedly shot Trump from a rooftop perch some 130 yards away during a rally in the small town, striking the upper part of Trump’s right ear while the former president was speaking to rallygoers ahead of next week’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

One attendee was killed and two others were injured during the incident, the agency said, and Crooks was shot dead. The victims have not been identified yet.

The Trump administration doesn’t want to give the Perv Liberal Gang Banger Crowd any meat with their confrontation with them. As you have witnessed the Antifa type MOBS confronting ICE agents in San Francisco. In a free society we can’t allow this type of behavior. We bet that those hooded vigilantes were either from BLM, Free Palestine or Antifa.

Tom Homan says, “YOU WANT SOME? COME GET SOME”, meaning we will gladly dance with you; there is no way you, referring to the protestors, that we will round you up no matter what it takes.

Trump administration border czar Tom Homan fired up the crowd at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit Saturday night when a heckler asked Homan, “Are you an MS-13 member?”

But the heckler’s comments added fuel to Homan’s fire as he delivered fiery closing remarks, saying, “Tom Homan is going to run the biggest deportation operation this country has ever seen. Take it to the bank.”

“U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A,” the crowd chanted as Homan exited the stage. About five minutes into Homan’s speech, he was interrupted by a heckler who was escorted out by security, lighting a fire for the rest of the speech. 

Homan had a message to the anti-ICE protesters across the United States, including to those who gathered outside the summit in Tampa, Florida, Saturday night. 

“You want some? Come get some,” Homan said. “I’m tired of it. For the men and women of ICE, I deserve your respect. They’re the finest 1% this country has. And Tom Homan isn’t going anywhere. Tom Homan isn’t shutting up.”
