Denver mayor vows to blockade mass deportations. Will he go to jail?



The answer to that question is yes, Mike Johnston will likely go to jail if he opposes the Trump administration’s mass deportation plans.

But it looks as if Johnston is okay with that.

In a recent article, Blaze Media national correspondent Julio Rosas outlined Johnston’s plans to resist mass deportations, even if it means he winds up behind bars.

“I’m not afraid of that,” he said when asked about potential incarceration.

Now, Rosas joins Jill Savage on “Blaze News Tonight” to shed light on how far-left Democrats plan to buck the will of the people when it comes to illegal immigration.


Rosas says that Democrats may act shocked and horrified about mass deportations, but they should know that this is what happens when an administration opens the borders for years, creating a border crisis.

From financial strain to human trafficking and immigrant gangs, mass deportations are the only logical solution, but still, Democrats plan to protect those who broke the law to be here at the expense of their own citizens.

It’s this very mentality that caused deep blue cities to shift toward Trump during the election.

And that shift from blue to red might increase when they see their leaders continue down the same path of making Americans second-class citizens behind illegal immigrants.

“If they want to continue doing this, that's fine, but they're going to continue to do it at their own peril in the next upcoming elections,” says Rosas.

However, a different kind of peril awaits them in the meantime, and his name is Tom Homan.

“[Homan] just announced states refusing to follow the federal mass deportation plan could lose federal funding. Do you think that that's going to happen? Do you think these states are going to go toe-to-toe and fight the feds on this?” Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson asks.

The answer to that is possibly. Johnston did threaten to deploy local law enforcement to the county line to stop the feds from carrying out mass deportations in the Denver area.

If he proves good on these words, he’s going to come face to face with Homan, who Rosas says is “a very serious individual.”

“As someone who knows Tom, he's been chomping at the bit for this for many years now,” he tells Jill and Peterson. “If Democrat leaders and cities want to actually take that extra step and obstruct them … from doing [mass deportations], you're doing it to someone who's Tom Homan, and that's someone that I would take very, very seriously.”

Glenn Beck travels to North Carolina and EXPOSES FEMA’s absence: ‘EVERY American should see this’



Hurricane Helene has wreaked havoc on several states, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Glenn Beck, “Blaze News Tonight’s” Jill Savage, and Blaze Media national correspondent Julio Rosas are currently in North Carolina with Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) to report on the aftermath of what is widely considered the most deadly hurricane of the modern era.

BlazeTV host Hilary Kennedy, filling in for Jill, speaks with Glenn on the phone to hear his account, which is equal parts infuriating and inspiring.

“Glenn, what is Blaze doing in North Carolina right now?” asks Hilary.

“Every American should see this,” he says.

By ‘this,’ Glenn means two things. “It is so hopeful,” he says, referring to the people who have gathered to help — individuals, Mercury One and other similar organizations, and a multitude of churches.

“The hope is coming from the people here … communities and one American after another coming in and just helping,” says Glenn.

The second thing he means is the astonishing and quite frankly sickening absence of FEMA.

Glenn says he has only seen one FEMA truck since his arrival, and it was “tucked away,” like it was avoiding the public eye. When he approached the agents in the truck and asked about what they were doing, he was given the following response: “We’re getting [victims] registered so they can sign up for government aid.”

“[There is] no action from the federal government,” he tells Hilary and Blaze Media editor in chief Matthew Peterson.

Unfortunately, FEMA isn’t just not showing up; it’s also actively hindering the citizens and private groups who are actually providing aid.

One of Glenn’s sources “is a semi-truck driver who [was] pulled over by FEMA.”

“They took his food off his truck” that was going to help victims, says Glenn in disgust.

According to Glenn’s report, FEMA is also trying to shut down the area where private planes and helicopters are landing to bring assistance.

“We have FEMA trying to shut down this helo field because the FAA isn't involved. Screw the FAA! If you had planes down here and you had helicopters yourself and you were rescuing them, then fine, we'd shut this down, but you're not here!” he says.

As for the devastation, Glenn says “it is shocking.”

“I've seen tractor-trailers upside down on the sides of the road where they had just been pushed by the water. I've seen houses upside down that were just turned over by the water,” he says, sharing footage of the wreckage.

“The number-one thing I've heard from the people who are organizing things on the ground — and they're all just locals that were Special Forces — they said we just need people; we just need more hands to help.”

However, their cries for more aid are not directed toward the federal government.

When the government showed up in one North Carolina town, “they were pretty much turned around by the locals,” who were angry that “they arrived [too late],” says Glenn. “[They] said, ‘To hell with you. You just got here; we don't need you; turn around, leave,’ and they did.”

“It is God’s army” that is stepping up in the government’s stead, says Glenn.

The United States government ‘knows what happened’ to Malaysian Airlines Flight 370



A decade ago, Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 disappeared without a trace. The official story behind the disappearance is simply that the government did not know what happened to the plane.

“They just said that the plane went missing,” investigative journalist Ashton Forbes tells Alex Stein, who himself was originally under the impression that the “pilot went rogue and locked the co-pilot out of the cockpit.”

“Now, we have this pilot-suicide narrative that’s formed over years, and I would argue that this has been potentially a government agency operation to get people to believe that it could possibly be a suicidal pilot when there’s absolutely no evidence whatsoever there was a suicidal pilot,” Forbes explains.

Meanwhile, the pilot has been ruled out by officials and had no issues whatsoever in his background.

But Forbes has done his research, and what happened to Flight 370 is not a mystery to him. “The United States government knows what happened to this plane,” he tells Stein.

From the information Forbes has gathered, the plane's movements reflect those of a plane with a fire onboard, which has been corroborated by witnesses below.

“They knew this plane had gone dark,” Forbes says. “They knew this plane was a commercial airliner that they were tracking on military radar, and they knew it wasn’t hostile. But how could they know it’s not hostile, especially if it’s been hijacked or if it’s a suicidal pilot?”

“But somehow, they didn’t even send jets up to track the plane, let alone shoot it down. This would indicate they knew it was a fire event, they knew it was an emergency event.”

While the plane supposedly crashed in the South Indian ocean, Forbes has another theory.

“As hard as it is to believe here, I think the United States government has gravity and space-time manipulation technology,” Forbes says, showing video footage of the plane with orbs circling it.

Forbes tells Stein the orbs are “trying to map the plane to figure out exactly how big the singularity needs to be.”

Then there’s a “zap,” and the orbs disappear along with the plane.

“I’m so convinced that what we’re seeing here is essentially some kind of wormhole,” Forbes concludes.

Riot police successfully take control at UCLA, throwing away Hamas-endorsed radicals' Palestinian flag



Armored officers with the Los Angeles Police Department and California State Police took control of the illegal encampment at the University of California, Los Angeles, early Thursday morning, busting through the Hamas-endorsed student radicals' barricades, flattening the occupiers' tents, and arresting some of those individuals who ignored their repeated warnings and invitations to leave.

The LAPD and other law enforcement agencies responded Tuesday night to the UCLA campus after the leftist university pleaded for help in dealing with the fallout of the same ideas taught inside its classrooms. It was not until Thursday morning that they were able to successfully overwhelm the radicals in Dickson Plaza.

Blaze News national correspondent Julio Rosas was on the scene as the pro-Hamas students, wearing masks and equipped with makeshift shields, faced off with the group of around 30 LAPD officers who initially breached the radicals' illegal encampment. The radicals can be heard taunting and castigating the officers, who had been flanked on both sides.

Rosas indicated that the outnumbered officers ultimately withdrew. As the officers gave up hard-won ground, they had to fight off elements of the frenzied mob, which pursued them out of the encampment.

"I'm not entirely sure what the reason was for them to make that first breach," Rosas told Blaze News. "But it wasn't a good one. Obviously."

Similar standoffs appear to have taken place around campus, where police apparently had difficulties making inroads largely on account of their incredible restraint.

Radicals pelted officers with rocks and attempt to disorient them with fire extinguisher blasts while desperately maintaining their barricades. The officers, in turn, used multiple flash-bangs.

Evidently growing tired of the violent, selfie-taking mob's sporadic attacks, police began to push back in a big way around 3 a.m. PT.

"That's when the California Highway Patrolmen in riot gear started to make multiple breaches at the main side of the encampment, the side with the makeshift barriers," said Rosas. "They were fighting each other. Protesters were using their bodies. They had a ton of shields and palettes and material to keep pushing up against the riot officers."

Some of the radicals attempted to form a human chain, but the police evidently found a few weak links. Rosas noted that roughly 20 of those in the chain were arrested after police kettled them.

Rosas reported that around 3:30 a.m., police began to successfully tear down the main makeshift wall bordering the illegal encampment. Upon doing so, it quickly became clear that police would soon be able to raze the encampment and clear out the remaining radicals therein.

CHP riot police advanced on the camp from other directions as well, tearing down the radicals' agitprop and pushing occupiers out of the way.

A CHP officer effectively signaled the radicals' defeat by flinging down the Palestinian flag at the heart of the illegal encampment.

Before dawn, officers effectively controlled the camp, littered with leftist propaganda and other radical refuse.

Rosas indicated that "it didn't need to come to this. ... If the encampment was cleared sooner, without giving the occupiers so much time to prepare for this, it would have been much easier for law enforcement to clear it out. But because this was allowed to take place for a while."

When asked about the rioters' initial success in repelling, Rosas suggested they "did a pretty good job at communicating with each other — to call for backup, call for materials, call for shields at different points of the border of the encampment. That's part of the reason why it took a while for police to take a significant foothold — because they were very flexible in putting manpower and material in their way."
