(Click HERE) World & Nation Homan to Catholic Leaders: Illegal Immigration Isn't Victimless  Border czar Tom Homan on Thursday invited Catholic leadership to watch him and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials perform their duties and see "why illegal immigration is not a victimless crime." The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has criticized ICE enforcement tactics and detention conditions, warning about fear in immigrant communities and saying bishops are concerned about "conditions in detention centers" and "lack of access to pastoral care." Pope Leo XIV similarly urged authorities to allow pastoral workers to minister to detainees and said longtime residents "never causing problems" have been "deeply affected" by current enforcement. During an appearance on "The World Over with Raymond Arroyo," Homan, a practicing Catholic, rejected claims that enforcement is incompatible with human dignity.

Whistleblower warns massive fraud is happening in Ohio Somali community, Minnesota ‘just tip of the spear’ Ohio attorney Mehek Cooke said, 'What we're seeing in Minneapolis is just a snippet of what's happening in Ohio'  On the heels of Minnesota’s still-unfolding massive social services fraud scandal, a whistleblower is exposing a similar scheme occurring among the Ohio Somali community, which she says dates back over a decade and totals millions in stolen taxpayer dollars. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Mehek Cooke, an Ohio attorney and conservative commentator, said that "Minnesota was just the tip of the spear." She said that providers within the Ohio Somali community have confided to her that they have been pressured to join in a "massive" Medicaid fraud scheme that involves doctors "rubber stamping" home healthcare payouts to the family members of elderly individuals for fake medical conditions. A timeline of the ‘largest COVID-19 fraud scheme' in the United StatesWalz deputy focuses on immigration enforcement as massive Somali fraud case unfoldsWhy the US could snatch a Venezuelan tanker — and not under ‘wartime’ authority used in cartel strikes Attorney general frames Coast Guard operation as sanctions enforcement, not wartime authority used against cartels  The Trump administration is relying on a sharply different legal justification for seizing a Venezuelan oil tanker than striking alleged narco-traffickers, even if both moves are intended to ramp up pressure on Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday framed the U.S. seizure of a Venezuelan crude oil tanker as a straightforward sanctions enforcement action rooted in a federal court warrant. Bondi said the tanker, long sanctioned for moving illicit Venezuelan and Iranian oil in support of foreign terrorist organizations, was taken into custody by the Coast Guard with help from the War Department after investigators executed a warrant off the coast of Venezuela. A senior administration official told Fox News the sanctions designation is the sole legal basis for seizing the ship — not the armed-conflict authority the administration has invoked to justify kinetic strikes on drug-trafficking vessels. The distinction highlights the administration’s reliance on two very different legal frameworks in the same region: traditional sanctions and forfeiture statutes for the tanker, and a contentious assertion of wartime authority against drug cartels for the maritime strikes.
Soros-linked group shuts down Miami's conservative Radio Mambí after three years of ownership Conservative hosts predicted demise of anti-communist station after 2022 takeover by Latino Media Network  Miami’s longtime conservative, Spanish-language talk radio station will shutter on Friday, only three years after a controversial takeover by a George Soros-linked group. Radio Mambí, long connected to Miami’s Cuban exile community and known for its anti-communist programming, was purchased — along with other Spanish-language stations — by the Soros-linked group in 2022. At the time, many conservatives, especially right-leaning Hispanics, called it an effort by the left to control the information reaching Spanish-speaking voters. The station is now signing off for good, citing "financial challenges." "For four decades, Radio Mambí has been a gathering place for South Florida and those devoted to the ideal of a free Cuba. Often the market leader in Spanish-language talk, our microphones welcomed presidents, governors, mayors, dissidents and political prisoners, cultural icons, and community voices. We stood with Miami through hurricanes and history. Much like our beautiful city, Radio Mambi, its audience, and the media industry are rapidly evolving, presenting financial challenges for many in the marketplace," Radio Mambí General Manager Mike Sena told Fox News Digital. Kilmar Abrego Garcia seen for first time since release, pledges to 'continue to fight' Trump admin  Salvadorean migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia vowed Friday to "continue to fight and stand firm against all of the injustices this government has done upon me," in his first appearance since being released from federal immigration custody. Abrego Garcia spoke as he appeared for a check-in at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Baltimore, Maryland, as part of the terms of his release. Abrego Garcia's lawyer Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg said Friday that he will not be rearrested at the Baltimore ICE facility, citing a temporary restraining order granted by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis.

Gov. Morrisey: Hospitalized Guardsman's Parents 'Optimistic'  West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey said Thursday that the parents of Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe are "optimistic" about his recovery after he was shot in Washington, D.C., last month. During a news conference, Morrisey said that Wolfe's mother, Melody Wolfe, reports that her son is now smiling, moving more of his right side and able to sit in a chair "for a few hours" as he remains hospitalized. The governor added that Wolfe's communication is "improving, although not verbally," and said the 24-year-old Guardsman's parents are "optimistic" about his progress and "deeply appreciative" of the care he has received from hospital staff.
California corruption crisis infests Newsom’s Sacramento — the public must know the truth The recent federal indictment of Dana Williamson — California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s former chief of staff — should come as no surprise: It’s the latest example of a thoroughly corrupt Sacramento political culture that afflicts both parties. But as bad as you may think the corruption is, I can tell you first-hand that it is much worse. For Democrats, supermajority status has resulted in a “might makes right” attitude of abusing their power to impose their will — and to help themselves. Worse, because Democrats control almost all the levers of state and local law enforcement (including the state attorney general’s office and most local district attorneys’ offices), bad behavior has been tolerated because of party loyalty. SEN TOM COTTON: Alleged Afghan attack on Guardsmen was preventable. We must do better next time Poorly vetted Afghans apparently led to attack on National Guard members and bomb threats Former President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan four years ago was a grave national humiliation that betrayed the men and women of our armed forces — particularly those who courageously served in the war-torn country for nearly two decades. Unfortunately, the costs of this self-inflicted tragedy have continued long after our troops left Afghanistan. Recently, an Afghan national in Texas — who came to America during the Biden administration — was charged with issuing threats to build a bomb, launch a suicide attack, and murder Americans and "infidels." In addition to this incident, the heinous attack against two members of the West Virginia National Guard in Washington, D.C., revealed that, sadly, the consequences of this rushed, reckless and ill-planned departure continue to put the security of our homeland and the safety of Americans at risk. |
