Trump must defy rogue judges or risk a failed presidency



If a federal judge told President Trump to deliver a specifically curated speech and then pull down his pants on live television, should he comply? If he refused, would that trigger a “constitutional crisis”? If you pay attention to the left, the answer might very well be “yes”!

The only “constitutional crisis” we face is the erroneous idea that the judiciary is atop the food chain rather than on equal footing with the other two branches of government. If Trump hopes to succeed this time around, he had better remind the judiciary of its impotence to enforce unconstitutional edicts.

Granting courts ultimate veto power over public policy creates a judicial supremacy the Founders never intended.

Federal judges have repeatedly attempted to restrict Trump’s presidential authority with overreaching demands. They have ordered the administration to fund private foreign aid organizations, reinstate specific personnel, and publish designated information on government websites. In one case, a judge even directed the secretary of defense to retract a statement on the Pentagon’s policy regarding transgender troops. And over the weekend, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg attempted to block the deportation of violent gang members under the Alien Enemies Act.

What’s next? Will they order Trump to stop threatening Hamas or remove the bust of Andrew Jackson from the Oval Office?

Judges have forgotten who they are: unelected shields against government overreach, not legislative swords that can impose policies. Perhaps Trump needs to examine that bust of “Old Hickory” Andrew Jackson in the Oval Office and recall his (likely apocryphal) response to Chief Justice John Marshall’s ruling in Worcester v. Georgia: “John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!”

What judges are not

Imagine if the president imposed the same restrictions on the judiciary that federal judges are placing on Trump. What if he dictated how judges managed their websites, controlled which clerks they could hire, or ordered them to rule a certain way? The overreach would be obvious.

Unlike judges, Congress has the authority to regulate every aspect of judicial proceedings, hiring, budget, and conduct. Judges, however, cannot impose similar policies on the other branches — a fact that frustrates judicial supremacists. This limitation exists for a reason: Federal judges are unelected. If they were meant to wield supreme — or even equal — power over public policy, they would be subject to re-election, as many state judges are.

If judicial power has clear limits, then what is its actual role, distinct from the executive and legislative branches?

In a letter to William Torrance dated June 11, 1815, Thomas Jefferson explained who decides constitutional questions.

Certainly there is not a word in the Constitution which has given [judges] that power [authority to decide on the constitutionality of a law] more than to the executive or legislative branches. Questions of property, of character, and of crime being ascribed to the judges, through a definite course of legal proceeding, laws involving such questions belong of course to them; and as they decide on them ultimately and without appeal, they of course decide, for themselves, the constitutional validity of the law.

Bankruptcy cases and criminal charges illustrate the proper scope of judicial authority. Judges can uphold or overturn criminal convictions and resolve disputes over property or bankruptcy. However, when conflicts arise over laws or the Constitution involving the other branches, the judiciary was never meant to have the final say.

Granting courts ultimate veto power over public policy creates a judicial supremacy the Founders never intended. Each branch has a duty to interpret and apply the law within its own constitutional authority. Jefferson reiterated this principle in the same letter.

On laws again prescribing executive action, and to be administered by that branch ultimately and without appeal, the executive must decide for themselves also, whether, under the constitution, they are valid or not. So also as to laws governing the proceedings of the legislature, that body must judge for itself the constitutionality of the law, and equally without appeal or control from its coordinate branches. And, in general, that branch which is to act ultimately, and without appeal, on any law, is the rightful expositor of the validity of the law, uncontrolled by the opinions of the other coordinate authorities.

Treating the courts as the final authority on public policy grants them more power than even James Madison’s rejected Council of Revision proposal at the Constitutional Convention. Under Madison’s “Virginia Plan,” Congress would have been a dominant, unicameral body with the ability to veto state laws. To keep it in check, he suggested that the president and Supreme Court jointly review laws before enactment, giving the judiciary a role in the legislative veto. Even in that system, however, the judiciary would not have acted alone — it would have shared power with an elected executive.

The system the Framers ultimately adopted works differently. Two legislative chambers check each other, and the president holds veto power. Are we now supposed to believe that the Supreme Court — or even a single district judge — has more authority than the elected House, Senate, president, and state governments combined? Should an unelected judge wield a stronger veto than the one the Framers deliberately withheld from an entire elected Congress?

No such judicial veto exists.

Resolving disputes among branches

What happens when branches of government disagree and exercise their powers in conflicting ways? Is that a constitutional crisis? Jefferson, again, provides wisdom here.

It may be said that contradictory decisions may arise in such case, and produce inconvenience. This is possible, and is a necessary failing in all human proceedings. Yet the prudence of the public functionaries, and authority of public opinion will generally produce accommodation.

Ultimately, the public will decide who is right. Our system isn’t perfect, but it is far better than allowing unelected judges to impose on the people what hundreds of elected legislators could not.

Shocking ICE raid: Why Mahmoud Khalil’s detention is sparking outrage



President Trump announced this week that an ICE raid led to the arrest of anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil, claiming that it was in the best interest of national security, as he “led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.”

Khalil is under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, and the State Department as a national security threat.

"Following my previously signed executive orders, ICE proudly apprehended and detained Mahmoud Khalil, a radical foreign pro-Hamas Student on the campus of Columbia University," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. "This is the first arrest of many to come."


"We will find, apprehend and deport these terrorist sympathizers from our country — never to return again," Trump continued, adding, "If you support terrorism, including the slaughtering of innocent men, women and children, your presence is contrary to our national and foreign policy interests and you are not welcome here."

Now, the far-left crowd is rallying behind Khalil.

“How is this possible?” Pat Gray of “Pat Gray Unleashed” asks. “How are people siding with this guy? It just shows how out of kilter we are as a nation.”

“‘We should be able to stay here and try to destroy Western civilization,’” Gray mocks. “We’ve got the obligation to let him do it.”

“Although, if you try through violent means, you too will be arrested. Maybe not deported, but you’ll be behind bars where you belong,” he continues. “But we’re supposed to carve out a special exception for this guy ‘cause he’s a foreigner.”

America welcomes guests — but not those who want to destroy it



America is the most generous country on Earth. We open our doors, offer opportunities, and welcome those who seek a better life. But make no mistake — this country is a home, not a doormat. If you, as a guest, start trashing the place, don’t be surprised when we show you the door.

Mahmoud Khalil is exactly that — a guest. He’s a green-card holder who led violent, anti-Semitic protests at Columbia University. Labeling what he did as mere “protests” softens the outright hate against the Jewish people and Western civilization that he espoused during his weeks-long standoff.

Green-card holders are not entitled to the same protections as citizens.

The left is accusing President Trump’s decision to revoke Khalil’s green-card status as a violation of his rights while dismissing the critical fact that Khalil is not a citizen — and as such, actions have consequences.

Residents are not citizens

A green card is not a birthright; it is a privilege. It’s a golden ticket invitation to live and work in the United States. But as in Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, that ticket comes with terms and conditions. If you break the rules, you’re out. It’s not a passport. It’s not citizenship. It’s more like a revocable lease.

Imagine you’re handed the keys to a grand estate. The owners invite you to sit at their table, pour you a glass of wine, and say, “Stay as long as you like. Just honor the house rules.” And yet, rather than showing gratitude, you start smashing windows, tearing down walls, and whispering to others, “This place is awful. It must be destroyed.”

How long before the owner snatches those keys from your hand? And who in their right mind would object? If you threatened to burn down the guest wing, you would be thrown out, and the owner would be right to do so.

Deportations are lawful

Today, we are watching green-card holders — guests in our home — sow chaos, spew hatred, and threaten the foundations of the very country that took them in.

The left is wringing its hands, insisting that these guests have a “right” to do all of those things — which is simply not true. Green-card holders are legal permanent residents, not citizens. In fact, back in 1893, the Supreme Court ruled that Congress could deport noncitizens at will. National sovereignty means we have the power to determine who comes into our house. If someone isn’t a respectful guest, the Supreme Court ruled we can kick them out.

Let’s be clear: Deporting Mahmoud Khalil is not a violation of his rights. He doesn’t have the same protections as U.S. citizens. We have opened our doors, allowing millions to chase their dreams in America. But that welcome comes with an expectation: Don’t destroy what you were invited into. You don’t come into my house and start swinging a hammer at the foundation. You don’t set fire to the roof. And you surely don’t get to claim victimhood when you’re shown the exit.

DEPORT him NOW: Unveiling Mahmoud Khalil's disturbing history



On March 8, ICE arrested Palestinian activist and recent Columbia graduate Mahmoud Khalil after the Trump administration revoked his green card for allegedly engaging in activities that supported Hamas, a designated terrorist group. Khalil was a leader in Columbia’s pro-Palestinian protests last spring.

He was destined for deportation, but yesterday, U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman issued an order blocking his deportation. Khalil is currently detained in a Louisiana ICE facility awaiting his fate, which could take months to sort out.

The incident has sparked widespread controversy. Of course, the left is outraged. That’s a given. But so are facets of the right, including Candace Owens and Glenn Greenwald, who are speaking out against Khalil’s deportation on the premise that he hasn’t engaged in violence and that his free speech is being violated.

Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” breaks it all down and explains why Khalil’s deportation is absolutely necessary.

If we want to stop “the crisis of mass immigration that is harming our country,” that means “not just securing our border but protecting our culture from those who hate America,” she says.

On “October 7, 2023, when Hamas brutally raided, invaded, raped, murdered, brutalized Israelis and Jews …there were protests that cropped up not just in the Middle East but here in America in favor of what Hamas did.”

One of those protests occurred at Columbia University, where protesters, defying university rules, “occupied buildings” for days until NYC police finally had to evict them.

Khalil was “reportedly the chief negotiator between the protesters and the campus administrators.”

He even “articulated to the media the demands that these students had for the administration … before they would agree to end their occupation of the building,” says Liz.

She then plays a video clip of Khalil telling CNN that the students would continue to defy university rules by occupying the Hamilton building until the university agreed to the BDS movement — the boycott, divest, and sanction Israel movement.

“Are you guys going to listen to the university and leave the encampment here?” a reporter asked.

“Of course not. The university is the one who should listen to us. … Our demands are clear. Our demands are regarding the divestment from the Israeli occupation, the companies that are profiting and contributing to the genocide of our people,” Khalil stated, before telling the reporter that they would “go as far as [they needed] to pressure the university.”

“That's a dangerous thing to say … because it insinuates that he'd be willing to escalate to the point of violence,” says Liz, “and we know that he would be willing to escalate to the point of violence because of the group that he's involved in.”

The group Liz refers to is called Columbia United Apartheid Divest.

“This group calls for the total eradication of the West,” Liz explains, calling the organization “as extreme as it gets.”

CUAD’s X account features the following statement: “In the face of violence from the oppressor equipped with the most lethal military force on the planet, where you’ve exhausted all peaceful means of resolution, violence is the only path forward.”

Further, in a since-deleted Instagram post, the organization stated the following: “We are Westerners fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization. We stand in full solidarity with every movement for liberation in the global South. Our intifada is an internationalist one. We are fighting for nothing less than the liberation of all people. As the fascism ingrained in the American consciousness becomes ever more explicit and irrefutable, we seek community and instruction from militants in the global South who have been on the front lines in the fight against tyranny and domination, which undergird the imperialist world order.”

Mahmoud, therefore, is “not just being a protester against the so-called war in Gaza; he is now anti-West, which means that he is anti-American,” she continues.

If his membership and activism in CUAD is “not a direct tie to terrorism ... then what is?” she asks.

New immigrants struggle to assimilate — and we all pay for it



When it comes to addressing mass illegal immigration, most people agree that the first ones to deport are the violent criminals who pose a direct threat to Americans. Aside from a few open-borders radicals, few people will defend the presence of “bad hombres” in the country.

But what about the dumb hombres?

We need to acknowledge the challenge of integrating immigrants into our economic, political, and cultural system.

According to a recent report from the Center for Immigration Studies, most of the new immigrants who have come into the country in recent years are poorer and less educated. The report found that “41 percent of adult immigrants who had lived in the country for less than three years had at least a bachelor’s,” that “the share of new arrivals with no education beyond high school increased from 36 percent in 2018 to 46 percent in 2024,” and that “the median earnings of new adult immigrant men fell from 80 percent of the median for U.S.-born men in 2018 to only 52 percent in 2024.”

These numbers might come as a shock. After all, prominent faux conservatives like David French or tone-deaf political aspirants like Vivek Ramaswamy have assured us that incoming migrants were smarter and harder working than the mediocre mass of working-class Americans.

The report easily refutes this narrative. Already bad in past decades, the demographic situation predictably worsened during the Biden administration: “The surge in new arrivals with less education means that immigration has added enormously (3.5 million) to the nation’s low-income population in just the last three years.”

Ideally, American institutions would work their magic and turn these huddled masses into fully assimilated, thriving American citizens. Sure, many of them come with nothing except the clothes on their back, but they came for a better life and are willing to do what it takes to succeed in this country. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Unfortunately, this social alchemy becomes less plausible when the immigrants in question are far less educated and far more numerous than those in the past.

The American dream denied

Rather than live out the American dream, these people will be shut out from the economy and general culture and live out their days as members of a permanent underclass. They may learn a few scraps of English and do honest work, but many will be tempted to criminal activity and remain ensconced in their ethnic enclaves.

For those who think that fast-tracking citizenship and increasing social welfare entitlements can mitigate such an outcome, they can see for themselves how this is going in Western Europe, where every major city now has large suburbs of poor immigrants who refuse to assimilate. Why bother with formal education, working a job, or following the host country’s laws when they can count on receiving a generous check and free services from the government?

To avoid this fate, American leadership traditionally has leaned on public schooling to help new arrivals. True, some immigrants may be relegated to low-skilled work and living on public assistance, but their children and their higher-potential peers could make use of America’s local education systems to learn the skills and concepts to successfully adapt to the American way of life. We just need to train up and pay some more educators to teach ELLs — English-language learners — and deploy them in immigrant-heavy neighborhoods.

In all fairness, this approach has proven surprisingly effective. Although many will criticize American public education (I most of all), it is the best in the world at taking in immigrants from the third world and teaching them to operate in the first world. Even if American education fares poorly when compared to that of other countries, this changes when the numbers are broken down. Most immigrants perform better academically than the natives of their home countries.

Nevertheless, educating ELLs, especially from the undeveloped world, comes with tremendous costs that few pro-immigration advocates fully appreciate.

One-size-fits-all doesn’t

In my own state of Texas, every school and district have a sizable ELL department staffed with highly credentialed specialists working through a complex web of requirements of assessing, accommodating, and properly placing ELLs. In most districts, it is mandatory for teachers to be ELL certified, a process that involves several hours of professional learning and passing a four-hour exam.

As one might expect, this eats up a huge portion of state and local budgets. It’s also the very opposite of equitable. For every tiny ELL class with a team of teachers tending to the needs of a handful of students, there are several large AP classes with throngs of students pestering their one poor teacher about their grade. For every ELL regulation to be fulfilled, some other instructional objective goes unfulfilled.

Always remember, no matter how many resources schools commit to this effort, many students will inevitably complete the ELL program without learning to speak English or develop useful skills.

Americans have a few options for educating newly arrived immigrants. The first is to maintain the current system, which is unsustainable given the overwhelming number of arrivals. The second is to deport every illegal alien and their household — a deeply unpopular and likely impractical approach that could violate civil and human rights.

The third option is a middle ground that deports a sizable number of illegal immigrants by expanding criteria to include those with little or no education while reforming ELL policies. Instead of the current bureaucratic, one-size-fits-all approach that burdens many school districts, English-language education should be decentralized and subsidized on an individual basis for greater effectiveness.

At a minimum, we need to acknowledge the challenge of integrating immigrants into our economic, political, and cultural system. While education remains a worthwhile goal, it involves trade-offs that many Americans may not accept. To preserve civil harmony and sustain economic progress, we must adopt a realistic approach that balances national needs with a workable path forward for both current and future Americans.

Youngkin Orders Virginia Police To Assist Trump Admin’s Deportation Operations

'[T]oday we are taking action that will make Virginia safer by removing dangerous criminal illegal immigrants from our Commonwealth.'

Illegal aliens are criminals, not victims



The Trump administration has only just begun its deportation efforts, and the media is already shaping a narrative of victimhood. Reporters highlight nervous parents, crying children, and desperate prayers, all designed to evoke guilt and pressure conservatives into abandoning border enforcement. This strategy has worked in the past, but the immigration crisis has escalated to a point where even Democratic politicians acknowledge the damage these policies have caused in their own districts.

Americans must stand firm in defending their borders and protecting their communities, rejecting the moral blackmail the left is now pushing on a public that has had enough. The media’s tactic of using guilt to undermine border enforcement has been effective before. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-N.Y.) widely publicized display of emotion over the “kids in cages” narrative gained enormous traction in 2018.

As the media attempts to manipulate the public into opposing the deportation policies that Trump was elected to enforce, conservatives must remain resolute.

While some Democrats, such as New York City Mayor Eric Adams, now recognize that unchecked illegal immigration harms their own constituents, the broader progressive movement refuses to back down. The moment Trump’s deportation efforts resumed, the press flooded the news cycle with stories of hardship, portraying illegal immigrants as victims. But the reality is clear: They broke the law, and their removal is not only justified but necessary to uphold the rule of law and protect the American public.

By 2025, Americans have reached a breaking point on immigration. The emotional appeals and "kids in cages" narratives that worked in 2018 no longer hold the same sway. For years, liberals enabled mass immigration by framing it as a bureaucratic misclassification rather than a legal violation. They aggressively stripped the term "illegal" from the conversation and labeled anyone who pointed out legal violations as racist. Some progressives even attempted to grant illegal immigrants voting rights in local and state elections, a move that backfired and sparked widespread public outrage.

Meanwhile, some conservatives played their own version of the immigration game, portraying illegal immigrants as religious, family-oriented, and hardworking — natural allies against the atheistic, socialist left. They minimized illegal entry as a minor infraction, akin to jaywalking, and argued that these new arrivals would ultimately strengthen conservative values.

In reality, mass illegal immigration has weakened the rule of law, disrupted communities, and driven up the cost of living. The middle class has shrunk, family formation has stalled, and the transmission of American traditions and values has slowed to the point where conservatism struggles to sustain itself. The effects of unchecked immigration have reshaped the country — and not for the better.

Illegal immigration is neither a victimless crime nor a bureaucratic oversight. It is often orchestrated by foreign cartels that use it as a conduit for drug smuggling and human trafficking. Gangs infiltrate U.S. cities, seizing control of neighborhoods and entire apartment complexes, as seen in Aurora, Colorado. High concentrations of illegal immigrants create ethnic enclaves where assimilation is minimal, and English language acquisition is avoided.

Hospitals and emergency rooms become overwhelmed as illegal immigrants — many without health insurance — receive care without paying their bills, driving up costs and increasing wait times for American citizens. Public schools, already strained, are forced to divert resources to accommodate non-English-speaking students, reducing the quality of education for native-born children.

Illegal immigration also distorts the labor market by increasing competition for jobs and suppressing wages. The surge in population inflates housing demand, making homeownership even more unattainable for young couples looking to start families.

Not every illegal immigrant is violent, but every crime committed by one is entirely preventable. Laken Riley should still be alive today. Her murder was not just a tragedy but the direct result of Biden administration policies that allowed her killer to remain in the country. Every crime committed by an illegal immigrant who was not deported is a failure of leadership — and every policymaker who enabled it has blood on his hands.

As the media attempts to manipulate the public into opposing the deportation policies that Trump was elected to enforce, conservatives must remain resolute. Illegal aliens are criminals. If deportation causes them distress or hardship, they are not victims — they are experiencing the consequences of their actions. If their children are affected, the responsibility lies with the illegal immigrant, not the U.S. government or the American people. No negative behavior is corrected without consequences, and if the immigration crisis is ever to be resolved, the Trump administration must enforce the law without hesitation.

When Debrina Kawam boarded a New York subway, she had no idea she would become the subject of a horrifying and iconic image. The 57-year-old New Jersey woman was allegedly burned alive by a 33-year-old illegal alien from Guatemala as a police officer looked on. Whenever the media tries to shame conservatives for supporting deportation, the only response should be the image of Debrina engulfed in flames, screaming for help that never came.

Americans do not have to live like this. The Trump administration must not only continue but accelerate deportation efforts and reject the media’s cynical attempts at moral blackmail. The lives of women like Debrina Kawam and Laken Riley depend on it.

ICE arrests over 100 in Colony Ridge — and Tom Homan promises more to come



Officials with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement made over 100 arrests in the controversial Texas development Colony Ridge earlier this week in a massive raid that a Trump official claims is only "phase one" of a larger operation.

On Monday, ICE arrested 118 individuals in the Colony Ridge area, a sprawling 33,000-acre development about a half-hour north of Houston. Some of those arrested already had outstanding warrants. Others were detained during traffic stops.

Perez is allegedly a member of the vicious transnational gang MS-13 and had previously been deported on suspicion of murder.

According to an X post from ICE, the arrestees have either been accused or convicted of crimes such as homicide, manslaughter, sexual abuse of a minor, and offenses related to drugs and/or weapons.

— (@)

Though the agency did not release details about most of the individuals, a spokesperson did note that one allegedly repeat offender was among them. Florentin Chevez-Luna, 39, was wanted for allegedly repeatedly sexually abusing a minor between November 2008 and November 2016, according to the Texas Tribune. Chevez-Luna, believed to be a native of El Salvador, had already been deported from the U.S. three times.

Luis Perez, 34, was also apprehended after the Texas Department of Public Safety received a report about a homicide in the area during the massive raid. Perez is allegedly a member of the vicious transnational gang MS-13 and had previously been deported on suspicion of murder, KRIV reported.

Trump border czar Tom Homan helped lead the Colony Ridge operation, and he appears satisfied with the result. "A lot of the people we're interested in were located in that area," Homan told Fox News.

"I know there's one that was convicted of either homicide or murder," Homan continued. Several known child sexual predators were likewise picked up in the raid.

Still, Homan believes this initial raid is only "phase one" of a "larger criminal investigation" planned for Colony Ridge.

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott first announced the Colony Ridge operation, tweeting on Monday that "criminals & illegal immigrants" in Colony Ridge were "being targeted" by federal and state law enforcement. "Texas DPS Troopers & Special Agents are assisting Homeland Security Investigations," Abbott's post continued. "... I have worked with Tom Homan on this for months."

'It seems like they’re just pulling people over and then escalating that from there.'

Despite this announcement, Houston Landing seemed to downplay the operation. The outlet claimed that "conspiracy theorists" had largely cooked up associations between Colony Ridge and cartel activity. The outlet also cited DPS public information officer Sgt. Erik Burse, who indicated that Abbott's tweet overstated the scope of the issue.

"We’ve been here for two years. It’s nothing new for what we’re doing," Burse said. "All of a sudden you get a tweet, and it just blows up."

The operation was apparently unusual enough to alarm immigration activists. Members of FIEL Houston held a press conference Monday to denounce it.

"It seems like they’re just pulling people over and then escalating that from there," said executive director Cesar Espinoza.

The group also alleged that ICE officials had apprehended a woman at a Family Dollar store, but the store denied the allegation. "No Family Dollar customers or employees were detained during the visit," a Family Dollar spokesperson said in a statement.

Colony Ridge executives said in a statement that they applaud federal and local law enforcement for arresting "criminal illegals in Texas." They also claimed they "fully support these efforts," KHOU reported.

Blaze Media has extensively covered the horrendous conditions and questionable lending practices at Colony Ridge. Last year, co-founder Glenn Beck hosted a Blaze Originals documentary about the problems there called "The Real Story of Colony Ridge." A trailer for the documentary can be seen below.

BlazeTV's Sara Gonzales unloads on FBI agent who reportedly leaked ICE raid info: 'They will be prosecuted'



Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and border czar Tom Homan have accused someone within the FBI of leaking information about upcoming Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids.

BlazeTV’s Sara Gonzales detailed the leaker claims during Tuesday's episode of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”

On Sunday, Noem said, “The FBI is so corrupt. We will work with any and every agency to stop leaks and prosecute these crooked deep state agents to the fullest extent of the law.”

Homan repeated similar claims on Monday, stating that “some of the information we are receiving tends to lead toward the FBI.”

“We are sending a strong message — [the leaks are] just giving the bad guys a heads-up so they can escape apprehension,” he said. “You’re putting officers’ lives at risk.”

He noted that Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove’s office believes it has identified the source of the leaks.

'This person should be prosecuted.'

Homan said he has been “promised not only will this person lose their job and pension, but they will go to jail.”

The leaked information sabotaged multiple ICE raids, including one in Aurora, Colorado, last week.

The federal immigration agency had aimed to detain more than 100 illegal aliens but captured 30. While the operation was primarily conducted to target Tren de Aragua gang members, information about the raids leaked to the Aurora community ahead of time, and only one gang member was arrested.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News, “If anyone leaks anything, people don’t understand, that jeopardizes the lives of our great men and women in law enforcement. And if you leaked it, we will find out who you are, and we will come after you.”

Gonzales reacted to Bondi’s statements.

Referring to the leaker, Gonzales said, “This person should be prosecuted. This is criminal. This person should go to prison. And it sounds like [President] Donald Trump has put the right people into place that once they do find who this person is — and I believe they will — they will be. They will be prosecuted.”

DeSantis, Florida Legislature Strike Agreement To Expedite Trump’s Deportation Operations

Florida's legislative leadership came to a compromise with DeSantis to advance legislation assisting Trump's deportation operations.
