Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is warning voters that Democratic New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani supported decriminalizing prostitution during his 2020 run for state legislature, Fox News reported. Cuomo is running as an independent against Mamdani after losing to the 33-year-old democratic socialist in the primary.

Cuomo shared a video of Mamdani on X, formerly Twitter, of the mayoral hopeful from Queens speaking about his belief that "sex work is work" during his 2020 campaign. "Yesterday, @ZohranKMamdani refused to say where he stands on prostitution," Cuomo charged in his post on Saturday.

"Thankfully, we can consult an expert on the subject. him…Registering his support for decriminalizing sex work, legislation he’s supported for years. Where does Zohran Mamdani stand on this? Where does he stand on anything? We need to build a new NYC that works for everyone, not just those who will say anything to get elected. That takes commitment. And a spine," the former governor concluded.

Cuomo's prediction

Cuomo was prompted to make this post after Mamdani wouldn't answer a question about whether he was in favor of legalizing prostitution during a news conference last week. The former governor, who resigned his office in disgrace in 2021 over allegations of sexual misconduct, warned that "New York City would become the prostitution capital of the country" if Mamdani becomes mayor.

"He’d emulate former Mayor Bill de Blasio when it came to prostitution arrests. If you listen to him, and you look to his policies, he’s going to be de Blasio 2.0, and I believe that’s the last thing this city needs," Cuomo said.

This warning certainly seems warranted based on Mamdani's statements, but Cuomo left out the part where his 2021 bill repealing laws against loitering for the purpose of committing prostitution has caused a surge in the number of so-called sex workers. Cuomo couldn't remember that, even when a reporter pointedly asked about that bill.

"The loitering bill, I'd have to check. I don't remember that bill frankly," the former governor claimed. This came after Cuomo stated that he observed an uptick in the number of prostitutes loitering on Roosevelt Avenue in Queens and said he was quite concerned about it.

"There were signs of prostitution on the street. I spoke to store owners. They are very concerned about it. They think it's destructive for their business, destructive for their neighborhood, it's a bad influence on children," Cuomo said.

Problematic candidate

Cuomo doesn't have the moral high ground considering his past legislation and personal shortcomings when it comes to women. However, he has a point about Mamdani, the Ugandan-born Muslim, and his hypocrisy on the issue. The city's current Democratic Mayor Eric Adams criticized Mamdani for this as well.

"I don’t know where in his Quran it states that it’s OK for a woman to be on the streets selling their body. I don't know what Quran he is reading," Adams told reporters on Sunday. The issue of legalized prostitution is only one of a slew of stances that make Mamdani a problematic candidate.

He has come out in favor of extreme positions, such as setting up state-run grocery stores and putting a freeze on rents for municipal housing, both of which would create shortages of the very things already in short supply now. He is also in favor of "free childcare" up to age 5, making New York City buses free of charge to ride, and eliminating tuition for the City University of New York.

For these socialist policies, Mamdani has received the support of fellow extremists like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D). His political clout and use of social media helped propel Mamdani to the top of the heap for Democrats, while the Republican side has only Curtis Sliwa, co-founder of the Guardian Angels and conservative commentator, and independent candidate Jim Walden.

These lifestyle issues are important to voters, and something must be done as New York is already becoming a cesspool of poverty, vice, and crime. Cuomo is correct in his warning, but his candidacy underscores the bleakness of New Yorkers' hopes for a solid leader willing to do what's necessary to clean up the city.

Two-time Charleston County South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Mullins McLeod is refusing to step aside from his gubernatorial run after police footage of him ranting and raving in the back of a police car was released to the public.

McLeod has faced calls from the state Democratic party to exit the race to focus on his mental health, but has said he will remain in the race.

"After reviewing the transcript of the dash cam footage from his recent arrest, it is clear that Mr. McLeod is navigating profound challenges and should focus on his mental and emotional well-being instead of a campaign for governor," the state party said in a statement. "We offer him compassion and pray he finds the support he needs."

"Threat to the establishment"

McLeod attributes the leak to the party's attempts to oust him because he threatens the establishment.

"I felt confident they would come for me, because I am a threat to the establishment," McLeod said. "No matter how much they try to silence me. No matter how much they try to get me out of this race, I will not stand down."

"I know the political storm is all around me, but my rudder is true," he added. "My plan and my purpose has never been clearer. So, I'm going to keep my head down. I'm going to keep working. I'm going to keep being the perfectly imperfect person God made me to be."

In the footage, McLeod swears at an off-camera figure and makes slurs and threats against a number of political figures including former President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump.

Mentally competent?

He was cited for public disorderly conduct.

The party is clearly concerned that his mental state is not what it should be, and that the footage will impact public perception of him in the months leading up to the election.

South Carolina being a pretty solidly Republican state, it probably won't matter whether he stays in the race or is replaced by another candidate.

But understandably, the party doesn't want to lower its profile even further in the state and lose more ground there.

So far, he's sticking to his guns, but time will tell if he can maintain enough public support to justify doing so.

From brokering numerous peace deals across the globe to eliminating DEI from the federal government, President Donald Trump has already notched massive wins mere months into his second term in the Oval Office.

Adding to Trump’s growing list of achievements is his undeniable success in attracting trillions of dollars in new investment into American manufacturing, innovation, and production, a tally recently touted by the White House.

Tech investments explode

The Trump administration’s list of wins within the tech sector was highlighted in detail as part of a broader press release examining the influx of investment commitments secured to date.

Apple’s $600 billion infusion into manufacturing and workforce training was outlined, as was its pledge to bring “additional components of its supply chain and advanced manufacturing back to the U.S.”

Japan-based Softbank, together with American-based OpenAI and Oracle agreed to inject $500  billion in U.S.-based artificial intelligence infrastructure, marking yet another administration-supported success.

Global chipmaker NVIDIA joined the surge, announcing its own $500 billion spend on U.S.-based AI-infrastructure spread over the next four years, adding to its promise to build AI supercomputers completely within the United States for the first time.

IBM and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company are also getting in on the action, with the firms poised to inject $150 billion and $100 billion into the U.S., respectively, in the years to come.

Pharmaceutical firms join push

With Trump having lamented the country’s reliance on foreign manufacturers for pharmaceutical manufacturing, there has been a noted push for U.S.-centered investment on the part of drug makers, including their research and development arms.

Johnson & Johnson has stepped up, as the White House explained, vowing a spend of $55 billion over four years in “manufacturing, research and development, and technology.”

AstraZeneca and Roche each pledged $50 billion investments each for stateside research and development as well as manufacturing, with the latter’s injection of funds projected to create thousands of new jobs.

Bristol Myers Squibb and Eli Lilly joined the domestic investment push, adding their commitments of $40 billion and $27 billion, respectively, for research, development, and manufacturing.

In addition to the aforementioned tech and pharmaceutical sectors, the Trump administration has succeeded in securing sizable investment pledges from manufacturing giants such as John Deere, Stellantis, Ford, General Motors, and more.

Consequential presidency continues

Though critics of the president will surely attempt to diminish these accomplishments by suggesting that their likely impact is exaggerated or is accompanied by too many caveats and contingencies, others believe that Trump’s influence in this -- and many other areas -- is undeniable.

As Rich Lowry of National Review -- a longtime Trump skeptic -- recently declared, “If you had to sum up President Donald Trump’s second term so far in one word, you could do worse than ‘epic,’, adding, “Trump may be on the path to the most consequential presidency since Ronald Reagans,” a sentiment with which millions – including a host of business leaders – clearly agree.

President Donald Trump graciously received the endorsement of Hillary Clinton, his 2016 Democratic presidential opponent and former Secretary of State, for a Nobel Peace Prize, Newsmax reported. Clinton said she would put forth his name if he met certain conditions in convincing Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war with Ukraine.

Trump met with Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday to begin talks about a possible peace deal. Ahead of that meeting, Trump had received several endorsements for the prestigious prize, including from Clinton. The former first lady said during a Raging Moderates podcast that she would recommend Trump if he secures an abrupt end to the war.

The president was asked about it while boarding Air Force One. "That was very nice. I might have to start liking her again," Trump said of Clinton.

Her Conditions

Although it was nice for Clinton to acknowledge Trump's diplomatic prowess, she did so with specific conditions. Clinton said that if Trump "could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor, had to, in a way, validate Putin's vision of greater Russia, but instead could really stand up to Putin, something we haven't seen, but maybe this is the opportunity," she stipulated.

"To make it clear that there must be a ceasefire. There will be no exchange of territory. And that, over a period of time, Putin should be actually withdrawing from the territory he's seized in order to demonstrate his good-faith efforts, let us say, not to threaten European security," Clinton went on.

"If we could pull that off, if President Trump were the architect of that, I'd nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize, because my goal here is to not allow capitulation to Putin, aided and abetted by the United States. I think that's a terrible, terrible precedent," she added.

However, Clinton's conditions are hopelessly naive, as there is no scenario where Putin is going to give up the gains he made in the war so far. While some have declared the Alaska meeting a win for Putin following the meeting, Trump believes it has "set the table" for talks between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Trump also said that he would "walk away" from the table if the conditions were not favorable in such a meeting. While his naysayers celebrated the president's failure, Trump pointed out that he has already succeeded in brokering peace in several nations, including defusing a conflict between Pakistan and India, which are both nuclear powers, that threatened to erupt.

Next Steps

The next step in the diplomatic effort will happen when Trump meets with Zelenskyy in Washington, D.C., on Monday to further hash out a peace deal between the two nations. It seems the president is optimistic about his prospects with the Ukrainian president and may bring Putin and Zelenskyy together if things go well.

"Our next meeting, we'll have President Zelenskyy and President Putin and probably me. I would like to focus on doing our country, but you know, I get these interruptions," Trump said.

"I have solved six wars in six months, if you think about it. That is from Pakistan to India; that was going to be a terrible one, planes being shot down. That was getting ready to flare, and then nuclear powers and so many others," Trump pointed out.

It's becoming clear through both of Trump's presidential terms that there is a way for presidents to conduct business that stops wars rather than starting new ones. Trump is on his way to ending the war between Russia and Ukraine that only began because then-President Joe Biden was weak and Putin was opportunistic.

Things are going so well for Trump that even Hillary Clinton has to acknowledge that he is inching ever closer to becoming a great peacemaker of our time. This endorsement from Clinton may be something that previously seemed utterly impossible, but it's well within reach as Trump continues to make the world a safer place by quelling one conflict at a time.

Democratic South Carolina gubernatorial candidate William "Mullins" McLeod's career may be over after newly released police dashcam footage shows him ranting about being "God" and "Superman" after being arrested, Breitbart reported. The 53-year-old was arrested in May for disorderly conduct over the incident, but the footage only surfaced after he declared his intention to run for governor in 2026 on Monday.

The police report recounts how McLeod was found in downtown Charleston "yelling at the top of his lungs" while wearing only underwear and shoes. The officers believed McLeod was demonstrating behavior "typical of an individual under the influence of a stimulant narcotic."

The footage was shared to X, formerly Twitter, by the Libs of TikTok account. "He went on an insane unhinged rant, screamed profanities, threatened to 'kick teeth in' of rivals, and yelled at cops. At the time, he was charged with public disorderly conduct and was allegedly high on drugs. The Democratic Party of SC are now urging him to drop out of the race," the account captioned the footage.

The Arrest

The footage of McLeod shows the father of four on a verbal tear while handcuffed and seated in the back of a police car. The video shows a shirtless McLeod refusing to share his name with police, telling officers, "It doesn’t matter, my friend, trust me," McLeod said.

"I’m one of the most just humans to ever walk this soil," he added. Other answers to the question included "God" and settling on "Superman sounds good.

McLeod also launched into a tirade against his Republican opponents, saying that he will "kick your f–king teeth in" about Attorney General Alan Wilson, whom he called out by name. Wilson is running against McLeod as a Republican, and it's possible the two may have history, given McLeod's occupation as an attorney.

When the car containing McLeod pulled up at the police station, officers ordered him to exit the vehicle. "No, I’m not doing it, no. I’m not getting out of this car," McLeod said. "It’s time to go to bed," McLeod added.

Officials have not said whether it was confirmed that McLeod was under the influence of any substances, so it's unclear whether this was a drug-fueled rant or simply a mental health break. The footage of the arrest was released as part of a Freedom of Information Act request, and with its release and the embarrassing conduct of the candidate, South Carolina Democrats immediately called for him to drop out of the race.

It's Over

McLeod's reputation was instantly ruined when the footage was released on Wednesday, not just because of his conduct, but also because he reportedly used the n-word several times. South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Christale Spain found this entirely objectionable and said as much in a news release that same day.

"After reviewing the transcript of the dash cam footage from his recent arrest, it is clear that Mr. McLeod is navigating profound challenges and should focus on his mental and emotional well-being instead of a campaign for governor. We offer him compassion and pray he finds the support he needs," Spain said in a statement.

Despite this, McLeod released a statement Thursday that seems to suggest he isn't going anywhere, South Carolina Public Radio reported. In a recorded video statement, McLeod ignored his conduct in the video and instead blamed those in the "establishment" for trying to take him out.

"Well, that didn’t take long...I felt confident that they would come for me because I am a threat to the establishment, which is bipartisan in this state, by the way," McLeod claimed. "I share with the voters that no matter how much they try to silence me, no matter how much they try to get me out of this race, that I would not stand down," McLeod promised.

It's shocking that McLeod didn't see this video or the public's reaction to it as a wake-up call, but instead remained defiantly committed to his political future. Perhaps McLeod believes that if he rides this out, Democratic voters will overlook or forget this incident, and he might just be right.

Failed Republican candidate Solomon Peña was sentenced to 80 years in prison for hiring gunmen to conduct drive-by shootings at the homes of political rivals, Fox News reported. Peña lost his bid for the New Mexico state House and targeted the homes of Democratic officials in retaliation.

Peña was handily defeated in his November 2022 election and blamed the loss on voter fraud. He arranged the attacks in Albuquerque, New Mexico, between December 4, 2022, and January 3, 2023, with one of the attacks carried out using a machine gun.

For his role in hiring the gunmen and planning the attacks, at least one of which he was present for, Peña was convicted of 13 felony charges. They included four counts of using or carrying a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, four counts of intimidation and interference with federally protected activities, three counts of solicitation to commit a crime of violence, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and conspiracy.

Two of the gunmen Peña hired to carry out the attacks pleaded guilty to their roles in the crimes last year. Peña tried to contract the suspects' murders after his arrest so that they wouldn't be able to testify against him.

Unhinged Actions

The shootings targeted he homes of Democratic officials after Peña believed he was robbed of his seat in the state House of Representatives. Nobody was injured in the shootings, but many were carried out at homes that children and relatives of the targeted politicians occupied.

These unhinged actions were directed at the state's Speaker of the House, two New Mexico state legislators, and two Bernalillo County commissioners. Believing that the election was "rigged" against him, Peña tried to convince the board members to refuse to certify the election results in favor of his Democratic opponent, Miguel Garcia, who won 73.6% of the vote compared to Peña's 26.4%.

They refused, and so Peña hired Demetrio Trujillo and Jose Trujillo to carry out his shooting spree in retaliation. "Violence and intimidation have no place in our elections," a statement Wednesday from U.S. Attorney for New Mexico Ryan Ellison said.

It appears Peña saw himself as a warrior for justice who greatly identified with President Donald Trump's similar assertion about his 2020 electoral loss, which Trump has never conceded. "Trump just announced for 2024. I stand with him. I never conceded my HD 14 race. Now researching my options," Peña posted to X, which was then known as Twitter, on Nov. 16, 2022.

False Comparison

The New York Times drew parallels to Trump when reporting on allegations against Peña in January 2023. The Times noted that Peña was at the Jan 6, 2021, riot that erupted at the U.S. Capitol over Trump supporters' claims that the election was stolen from him.

Although there was no evidence that Peña had gone inside the building or participated in the violence, the insinuation was that he was so enamored with Trump that he thought his actions were similarly warranted. "He had a belief process that he was cheated," said Albuquerque Police Department Chief Harold Medina.

"To me, it’s very concerning what his actions were and the impact they could have on our democracy. He was trying to intimidate some of our elected officials," Medina added.

However, Peña's criminal history suggests that this attack was more due to his being prone to such behavior rather than acting out against "democracy." Prior to entering politics, Peña had a history of crime and had served seven years in prison after being convicted of burglary and larceny.

It is criminal and immoral for any political candidate to target the homes and families of opponents, regardless of the validity of election fraud claims. Peña has been convicted and therefore deserves to serve time in prison for what he's done, but his actions do not reflect on Trump or any other Republican who has questioned a vote count, as the establishment media has sought to claim.

Joe Scarborough admitted on MSNBC's Morning Joe that President Donald Trump's move to a federal takeover of Washington, D.C., police is a good thing, Breitbart reported. Scarborough said many on the left are quietly supporting it behind the scenes and see it as a "positive step."

On Monday, Trump announced that he was fed up with the rampant crime in the nation's capital and would be taking over the Metropolitan Police Department and activating 800 National Guard troops, Fox News reported. "I'm deploying the National Guard to help reestablish law, order, and public safety in Washington, DC," Trump said at a news conference on Monday.

"And they're going to be allowed to do their job properly," he added. Earlier that day, Trump posted to his Truth Social account that he was going to eliminate "Crime, Savagery, Filth, and Scum" from Washington, D.C..

The president said that the "days of ruthlessly killing, or hurting, innocent people, are OVER!" Of course, this has sent the left into a tailspin about supposed fascism and other recycled claims against Trump, but now it seems that even Scarborough and his ilk are singing Trump's praises for doing what is necessary.

Unlikely support

On Tuesday's program, Scarborough noted that even those publicly against this are cheering on Trump. "This is a fascinating story because so many people have been calling me over the past couple of days, going, you know, like Washington, should have gotten involved years ago," Scarborough said.

"This place is dangerous, it’s a mess, it’s a wreck, and whatever. And then they’ll go on Twitter and go ‘his is the worst outrage of all time.’ Which I understand, it’s like people need to express their concerns about Donald Trump going too far," Scarborough added.

"We saw what happened back in 2020 with the National Guard, certainly can’t have any repeat of that. I don’t want the federalization of the entire city, but man, I don’t care what the crime statistics say, crime has been a problem in this city for the 32 years I’ve been living inside and outside of the city," Scarborough acknowledged.

"It’s just, even now, we, Mika and I, we’re talking to somebody who lives in the city, these are all Democrats who said, you know, our friends won’t walk more than three blocks in DC at night without feeling the complete opposite of New York City, where I’ll walk 40 or 50 blocks at night and not think twice about it. In New York City, in midtown downtown. I mean, New York is a safe, safe place. Washington D.C., man, it’s door to door," the MSNBC host surprisingly admitted.

Victims everywhere

Washington, D.C., is a haven for journalists, which perhaps is the reason that Trump's otherwise controversial plan is receiving so much support. These people in the establishment media may be leftists, but even they have to admit the time has come to do something, as even they're being victimized despite reports of crime decreasing.

As the New York Post reported, ABC News anchor Kyra Phillips said she has "firsthand experience" with crime in the city. "I can tell you firsthand here in downtown DC, where we work, right here around our bureau, just in the past six months, you know, there were two people shot, one person died, literally two blocks down here from the bureau," Phillips said Monday.

"It was within the last two years that I actually was jumped while walking just two blocks down from here. And then, just this morning, one of my co-workers said her car was stolen, a block away from the bureau," Phillips continued.

The anchor explained that the perpetrator "was homeless and half-dressed — clearly wasn’t in his clear mind," she added. Phillips fought off her would-be attacker, but it's indicative of what people are facing every day in the nation's capital.

Trump won because he wasn't afraid to say and do what was best for the country, even if it meant he was slandered by the mainstream media. He has continued that into his second term, but because they're being impacted by it, the left is finally on board with what he wants to do for Washington, D.C.

The Nevada Supreme Court has sided with former Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden to allow his civil lawsuit against the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell to proceed, NBC News reported. Nevada's highest court said in a 5-2 ruling that the NFL's preferred resolution through arbitration overseen by Goodell was "unconscionable."

The issue stems from a November 2021 lawsuit Gruden filed against the league after emails he sent to an NFL employee, which contained offensive language, were leaked to the press. He contends those leaks were intentional and damaged his career with the Raiders and beyond.

The rules of the NFL mandate that any conflict of this nature must go through arbitration, which Gruden fought on the basis that he is no longer an employee of the organization. The Nevada Supreme Court would eventually agree with his assertion in its decision on Monday.

The NFL claimed that its Constitution and Bylaws confer "full, complete, and final jurisdiction and authority to arbitrate . . . [a]ny dispute . . . that in the opinion of the Commissioner constitutes conduct detrimental to the best interests of the League or professional football." The court disagreed, calling that rule "unconscionable" and agreeing with him that it "does not apply to Gruden as a former employee."

Inciting incident

According to a report in Sports Illustrated in October 2021, the NFL's review of some 650,000 emails over 10 years uncovered Gruden's use of offensive language in messages to an employee. His messages contained "misogynistic and anti-LGBTQ comments."

The review was being conducted as part of an investigation into workplace conduct at the Washington Commanders, the team that was formerly the Washington Red Skins until 2019. Then-team president Bruce Allen was often on the receiving end of Gruden's messages as the two were former co-workers at the Raiders the first time, between 1998 and 2001, and with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The emails involved in the investigation were sent while Gruden was an employee at ESPN and using his personal account. Allen was using his team email account, which was the catalyst for the NFL's ability to leak information about what Gruden said.

Some of the emails include Gruden's opinions against the NFL's decision to employ female referees and for allowing football players to protest during the national anthem. Gruden also had strong opinions about Goodell for forcing coaches to draft gay players, including the first openly gay player, Michael Sam.

Gruden's Future

Because of the controversy, many believed Gruden should never work in football again. He has been working for Barstool Sports following the controversy, according to Fox News, but he longs to return to coaching football.

In a YouTube video chronicling his recent visit to Georgia, Gruden said he was there in the hopes of finding a way back to coaching, even if it is through collegiate sports. "I want to coach again. I’d die to coach in the [Southeastern Conference]. I would love it," Gruden said.

"Hopefully, I’m not done. I’m about to make a comeback," the Super Bowl-winning coach added. "Hopefully, some of these guys that fell off my branch, if you say it that way, maybe they can hire me 'cause I’m looking for a job." There are some signs of hope as he was associated with the New Orleans Saints following his 2021 ouster from the Raiders and was restored to the Buccaneers' Ring of Honor.

"I don’t care if I coach at Jones Junior High. I’m going to coach again. I’m still coaching. I’m just not on a team officially, but I do have some private assignments I work on, and I wear some gear when I’m watching the games that nobody knows about who I’m pulling for," Gruden said.

Of course, what Gruden said was objectionable, but ruining his career for life does not seem fitting for some offensive things he said in what he thought were private emails. Gruden will have a chance to be heard in court and, with any luck, may see his career restored as well.

FBI Director Kash Patel took to social media platform X on Saturday to detail some of the bureau's successes during the first 200 days of the Trump administration, including increases in fentanyl seizures, child trafficking arrests, and the recovery of 4,000 child victims. 

He started the string by posting, “200 Days of Trump Admin: Fentanyl seizures by FBI From Jan 20 to Present: 1,500 Kilos — that’s enough lethal doses to kill 113,850,000 Americans. Seizures to date are a 25% increases from same time period last year, most ever. We look forward to working with our @SecDef and DoD partners to getting after it even more, thanks @realDonaldTrump for the new authorities.”

A few hours later, Katel followed up his first post, saying, “200 Days of Trump Admin, From Jan 20 to Present: FBI has arrested over 1,600 people for violent crimes against children, to include 270 arrests for human trafficking.”

But that wasn't all.

"Lives saved"

Patel concluded the series of tweets by posting,

“200 Days of Trump Admin: FBI has identified and found 4,000 child victims. FBI investigations targeting Foreign Terrorist Organizations has resulted in 1,000 arrests of those wanting to harm our nation Seized 6,300 Kilos of methamphetamines = lives saved #SummerHeat”

Breitbart News noted that child trafficking had tripled under former President Joe Biden's administration.

That's really not a surprise since his policies brought tens of millions of illegal immigrants to the United States, and many of them were criminals and child traffickers.

Horrific crimes

Reports of rape trees where migrant predators would hang women's panties on a tree after raping them and unaccompanied minors being brought across the border to be trafficked abounded on conservative media, even if the mainstream media didn't much cover any of it.

They sacrificed thousands and thousands of women and children so Biden wouldn't look bad.

Now, Trump and his administration are setting things right. They haven't released any illegal immigrants into the U.S. in months, and even arrests are down because people know they aren't going to get a free pass to come into the country anymore.

Just like word traveled fast when Biden reversed all of Trump's border policies and threw the border wide open, it has also traveled fast about the reverse.

The FBI continues to focus on doing its part to get illegal immigrants out of the country and back to their countries of origin.

Particularly the ones who have committed crimes, many of whom may have been released from prison by their leaders and sent here to disrupt our way of life.

Well before he took office for a second term, Donald Trump vowed to make illegal immigration one of his signature issues upon returning to the White House, and he shows no sign of backing away from that promise.

As Breitbart reports, the Department of Homeland Security under Trump has decided to call an end to the Biden-era policy of “quiet amnesty” for illegal migrants.

Changing course

The Trump administration’s reversal of the aforementioned Biden-era policy will facilitate the reopening of hundreds of thousands of deportation cases that were administratively closed in recent years.

Under the prior president, immigration judges were urged to dismiss or close cases instead of adjudicating the underlying asylum claims.

The problem, according to the Trump administration, is that the vast majority of such claims tend to be invalid once subjected to scrutiny.

Tricia McLaughlin, a DHS spokesperson, addressed the shift in policy, declaring, “Biden chose to release millions of illegal aliens, including criminals, into the country and used prosecutorial discretion to indefinitely delay their cases and allow them to illegally remain in the United States.”

“Now,” she continued, President Trump and Secretary [Kristi] Noem are following the law and resuming these illegal aliens' removal proceedings and ensuring their cases are heard by a judge.”

Damning details emerge

Last fall, the House Judiciary panel’s Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement issued a report on the harm done by the Biden administration’s policy, which was titled “Quiet Amnesty: How the Biden-Harris Administration Uses the Nation’s Immigration Courts to Advance An Open-Borders Agenda.”

A press release on the report’s findings emerged, suggesting that the prior administration’s stance resulted in upwards of 1 million illegal arrivals remaining in the country on an indefinite basis.

The report added that the Biden DOJ and DHS “caused the immigration court backlog to skyrocket, adding over 3.7 million new cases since fiscal year 2021, with over 1.5 million originating just in the first three quarters of fiscal year 2024.

With only a small number of cases resulting in grants of asylum, the Biden administration sought the abandonment, dismissal, termination, or administrative closure of hundreds of thousands of cases, allowing illegal arrivals to remain in the U.S. without facing any immigration consequences.

“This quiet amnesty,” the press release noted, “has become a hallmark of the Biden-Harris Administration’s immigration courts,” but it now appears that the practice will be coming to an end.

Reversal of fortune

The Trump administration’s move to reopen cases that were previously closed or dismissed is likely to result in a dramatic change in circumstances for migrants who believed themselves safe from detention or removal, a misapprehension sadly fostered by the Biden administration.

As tumultuous as that experience may be for some, the Trump administration is determined to enforce immigration law to the best of its ability, in keeping with the president’s persistent theme of “promises made, promises kept.”
