Canada’s Liberal Party won a fourth consecutive election, giving a mandate to former central banker Mark Carney after a campaign in which he pledged to boost economic growth and stand up to US President Donald Trump in a trade war. Liberal candidates were leading or elected in 135 of the 343 seats, ahead of the Conservative Party with 88 as of 10:14 p.m. Ottawa time. The Liberals will secure enough seats to try to form a government, but it’s still unclear whether they’ll win a majority or be forced to work with other parties to pass legislation, according to projections from major TV networks.
Maria Teresa Kumar, the CEO of Voto Latino, told MSNBC on Monday morning that journalists reporting from the White House lawn should "blur" the mugshots of suspected deported illegal immigrant criminals on posters put up by the Trump administration.
MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire reported: "The White House has put up about 100 posters of what they say are unauthorized immigrants who have been arrested for violent crimes." "What’s particularly noteworthy about this location is it is right directly behind the positions where TV correspondents do their hits from the White House lawn.
A former FBI analyst who resigned over the Trump administration and boasted about working on January 6 cases is running for Congress as a Democrat. John Sullivan is challenging New York Republican Rep. Michael Lawler for New York’s 17th Congressional District — and he’s wasted no time in blasting the Trump administration and invoking January 6. Sullivan worked in the bureau for almost 17 years but resigned in April over the Trump administration, according to his Substack. Since leaving the bureau, he’s slammed the Trump administration and Elon Musk.
Sullivan claimed President Donald Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel pose a “threat … to American safety and security.”
As President Donald Trump’s trade policies take effect, record tariff revenues have begun flowing into U.S. government coffers.
According to the April 24 Daily Treasury Statement, revenues from “customs and certain excise taxes” reached an all-time high of $15.9 billion in April, up 105 percent from a year ago.
Most of the increase occurred on April 22, when $11.69 billion was collected.(snip) Trump told reporters on Air Force One this past weekend that he is “unlikely” to authorize a second 90-day pause.

As countries around the world try to bargain with US President Donald Trump over tariffs, longterm adversary Iran is pitching its sanctioned economy to him as an investment opportunity.
With talks between Iran and the US over the Islamic Republic’s atomic activity showing signs of progress, top Iranian officials are for the first time in decades overtly promoting their economy to the White House to secure a lasting and more effective nuclear accord. If Trump wants a deal that’s better for the US than the one he jettisoned in 2018, the Iranians want the same for Iran.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris wants to propel herself back into the national political conversation, as former aides are teasing an upcoming major speech criticizing President Donald Trump. The failed presidential candidate will deliver the keynote speech at the Emerge 20th anniversary gala at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco on Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET.
The speech will be live-streamed, according to the organizer Emerge, a Democratic group that recruits and trains women to run for public office. It's a major fundraiser as tickets cost up to $50,000 for a sponsor. But the group is also charging $25 per virtual watch. Harris is expected to deliver a 'call to action,'
This guy’s a Noem criminal.
The illegal migrant who was busted for snatching Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s Gucci purse was picked up by cops in New York for a similar crime just a few weeks earlier — but they let him go with a desk appearance ticket and a court date.
The NYPD’s warrant squad was hunting for Chilean national Mario Bustamante-Leiva, 49 — because he never showed up to court — when he allegedly ripped off Noem during Easter dinner with her family at a Washington, DC, burger bar, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Waymo’s autonomous vehicles have become the subject of online ridicule as social media users share videos documenting the cars’ bizarre behavior and frustrating experiences.
Fast Company reports that as Waymo expands its self-driving car services to new cities like Austin, Texas, the company is facing increased scrutiny from the public.

The second Donald Trump administration continues to ferret out racial favoritism in education and the federal workforce, and there is plenty to be found. The administration is now turning to K-12 classrooms and already has a good model to use for its latest order to end race-based quotas in school discipline.
On Wednesday, the White House issued an executive order on discipline, rejecting educators’ use of racial quotas when they mete out suspensions or expulsions among students. Such quotas have generated much discussion since President Barack Obama endorsed their use in 2014.
At the time, the Obama administration informed school personnel nationwide that
Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade says he is committed to the safety of the Colorado Springs community and hopes to see more raids following Sunday’s arrest of more than 100 migrants illegally in the U.S. According to NewsNation local affiliate KDVR, 114 people were arrested in a DEA-orchestrated operation that involved more than 300 law enforcement officers at an “underground nightclub” in Colorado Springs. “I anticipate that there will be more arrests,” Mobolade told “NewsNation Now.” “I hope to see more raids happen in my city. This is not the first one.” Mobolade noted that 40 officers from the Colorado
Truckers are celebrating President Donald Trump’s decision to restore enforcement of a rule that excludes foreign truckers from the roads if they cannot read English-language signs and instructions.
“They’re celebrating … Everybody’s excited, they’re happy,” said Shannon Everett, a cofounder of American Truckers United. who explained the truckers’ problems to Breitbart News in March.
The change is set by an executive order to be signed by Trump on Monday. The order tells Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy “to ensure drivers violating English proficiency rules are placed out-of-service, enhancing roadway safety,” and directs him to revamp other aspects of the trucking industry.
President Donald Trump and I will be taking steps to rescind Obama-era rules to treat English as a second language on the road.
Federal law is clear, a driver who cannot sufficiently read or speak English—our native language—and understand road signs is unqualified to drive a commercial motor vehicle in America. However, President Obama sacrificed driver safety when he lowered the penalty for violators of the English proficiency rule on the road.
This language requirement is in place for obvious reasons. Drivers, especially operators of heavy vehicles, need to understand critical traffic information like warnings for steep grades or dangerous conditions.
Former first lady Michelle Obama voiced deep concerns about what’s happening to migrants under President Trump’s aggressive deportation policy, railing against its impact on her home city of Chicago.
During a conversation about race and fear, the former first lady acknowledged that she has a pretty protected lifestyle, while fretting that everyday people living outside her bubble might be suffering.
“In this current climate, for me it’s what’s happening to immigrants,” Obama, 61, told “On Purpose with Jay Shetty” during a podcast episode that dropped Monday when asked her most “recent test of fear.”

Dr. Sebastian Gorka, the White House’s Senior Director for Counterterrorism on the National Security Council and a Deputy Assistant to President Donald Trump, took Breitbart News viewers inside both the Oval Office and the White House Situation Room with exclusive inside details of President Trump’s decision to eliminate an ISIS terrorism less than two weeks into his second term as president.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on Monday signed a series of education bills, including the Riley Gaines Act of 2025 designed to protect women’s sports.
Senate Bill 1, bars males and females from competing on teams designated for the opposite gender, the governor’s office said in a statement. It also requires restrooms and changing areas that can be used by more than one student to be limited to one gender.
The legislation is in line with President Donald Trump's executive order entitled "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports." More than half the states in America have similar legislation, many named for Gaines.
An Illinois state legislator is pushing to move the United States Department of Agriculture out of Washington D.C., and into the heart of farm country.
State Rep. Regan Deering, R-Decatur, has introduced House Resolution 177 urging President Donald Trump and the U.S. Congress to begin the process of relocating the USDA from Washington, D.C., to central Illinois.
Deering emphasized that crops don’t grow in a swamp, they grow in the fertile plains of central Illinois. She added that it's time the government relocated the USDA to a place where people are focused on planting crops, not just pushing paper.
“Bloomington and Decatur are home to major agribusiness giants like Archer-Daniels-Midland, Gromiant, Gromark and

America First Legal has filed a state bar complaint against New York Attorney General Letitia James over her alleged mortgage fraud.
The complaint was filed in New York on Thursday – 10 days after U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William J. Pulte sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department.
Pulte alleged that James, a Democrat, "in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government-backed assistance and loans and more favorable loan terms."
"This has potentially included 1) falsifying residence status for a Norfolk, Virginia-based home in order to secure a lower mortgage rate and 2) misrepresenting property descriptions
Vivek Ramaswamy was the headline speaker at Ohio's Wayne County Republican Party Lincoln-Reagan dinner over the weekend, but it's what happened before the dinner that really made news.
Prior to the event in my home county, a group of Democrat protesters confronted the gubernatorial hopeful with signs that read, "Not Lincoln or Reagan's America Anymore" and "Your Billions Won't Buy Ohio." The usual suspects sounded their infernal noisemakers as cars drove by honking their horns.
Undeterred, Ramaswamy asked a protester named Sandy, "What do you want to see in Ohio?"

While election officials are appointed in other states, Pennsylvania voters have more power to control who handles elections at the local level, if only they engage in the process.
Pennsylvania is the only state that elects precinct officials who manage elections at the most local level: the polling place. The primary election is coming May 20, when precinct officials will be on the ballot statewide, but there is a huge shortage of candidates.
Pennsylvania has more than 9,000 local precincts and each needs a judge of election, but so far, just 1,729 candidates have filed to run for that position, according to county-by-county research by Pennsylvania election watchdog groups
The booze-hound illegal migrant who snatched Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s Gucci purse brazenly drank for hours with her Amex card at an Italian eatery after pulling off the caper, according to shocking details released by the feds.
Mario Bustamante-Leiva, 49, was caught on camera blowing $205.87 on food and alcohol at Angolo Ristorante Italiano in Washington, DC, on April 20 just minutes after he slyly made off with her shoulder bag, charging documents from the US Attorney’s office of DC show.

Nike is getting blasted for its insensitivity in using a phrase associated with the Holocaust only three days after Yom HaShoah, when Jews around the world mark the murder of six million Jews by the Nazis in the Holocaust.
Nike installed signs along the London Marathon route emblazoned, “Never again, until next year.”
“As a Jew living in London, I felt shocked, hurt, and angry to see the use of words in this context, even if no doubt in reference to the temporary pain of running 26 miles,” retired British judge Nigel Litman told Walla. He continued:
“Never Again” is a phrase related to the Holocaust and the murder of six million Jews.
On Monday, a House Democrat introduced seven articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, kicking off a bid that has virtually no chance of succeeding in the Republican-led Congress.
The impeachment resolution from Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) accuses Trump of “high crimes and misdemeanors” over alleged constitutional violations related to taxpayer funds, deportations, tariffs, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effort led by Elon Musk, retaliation against the press, and others.
“Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as President and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s constitution and our democracy,” Thanedar said
This weekend, a wave of anti-mass migration demonstrations erupted across Europe, with tens of thousands of people gathering in Ireland, England, Germany, and Poland to voice their frustrations with and opposition to the current migration policies imposed by Brussels and their globalist-led governments.
The demonstrations, fueled by growing concerns over national security, ever-increasing strained public services, and the erosion of cultural identities and their formerly high-trust societies, showcased the rising discontent in local communities, particularly in working-class and rural areas. In Dublin, no fewer than 10,000 people flooded the streets—though some estimates placed the crowd closer to 100,000—to commemorate the anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising,
On Monday federal charges were filed against Kristi Noem’s purse thief Mario Bustamante Leiva, an illegal alien from Chile.

Rep. Gabe Vasquez, D-N.M., touted his vote against the Laken Riley Act and bashed President Donald Trump's administration at an April event, saying deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia, along with other illegal immigrants, is "testing and stretching the fabric of our democracy to a place we have never seen before."
In his speech, Vasquez claimed some said it would take "courage" to vote against the Laken Riley Act, to which the Democratic congressman exclaimed, "I did. I voted against [the bill]," leading the audience to cheer. "Because due process is a fundamental part of who we are as Americans," he continued.

Suggests Republicans Are the Party of ‘Traitors’ replies
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), during a ridiculous "sit-in" on the steps of the Capitol, invoked Civil War-era rhetoric to portray Democrats as "patriots" and the Republican party as "traitors."
Jeffries' controversial comments came during a staged protest on the steps of Congress, where he was initially joined by Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ/Sparta) and then accompanied by several other Democrats and their colleagues. This was by design, an attempt to make their "sit-in" appear to be an organic swelling of support—impressive in their own minds, much like Booker's fake 25-hour filibuster. Rev. William Barber joined the exercise in futility. He discussed putting “principles over party," triggering Jeffries to

Everyone who watches American politics, and who hasn't been living under a flat rock for the last few decades, is aware of that mysterious process by which elected officials in the House of Representatives and the Senate grow monstrously rich on their modest salaries.
It is (and let's say this quietly) called "graft."
A lot of this comes from members of Congress being made aware of information that could affect various publicly traded corporations, information that is not available to the general public. They then act on that information and score.
This is called "insider trading," and it's against the law, unless you're a member of Congress. But Senator Josh Hawley

A US Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet fighter jet slipped off an aircraft carrier and sank into the Red Sea in an alarming accident – but the pilot made it out alive, according to the military.
The jet – which cost about $56 million apiece – was being towed out of a hangar Monday on the USS Harry S. Truman when the tractor pulling it lost control.
Both the jet and the tractor fell overboard, according to the Navy.
The pilot and the Navy sailor driving the tractor managed to jump free, with only one sustaining a minor injury.
The New York Times, along with multiple other outlets, chastised President Donald Trump for allegedly breaking the Vatican’s dress code for Pope Francis’s funeral on Saturday.
The featured image of their story was cropped in such a way as to suggest that Trump was the only leader in a blue suit at the event.
The Times’ chief fashion critic, Vanessa Friedman, wrote that President Emmanuel Macron of France, Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Great Britain, and Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni of Italy all wore black.
But, “Mr. Trump? He was wearing blue. And not even dark, midnight blue, but a clear, sapphire-like blue, with matching tie.

I know it’s not fashionable among some on the right, but we have a moral and strategic obligation to attack Iran right now. Not later.

The White House kicked off its celebration of President Donald Trump's first 100 days in office by highlighting its efforts to combat illegal immigration on Monday.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement chief Tom Homan joined White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt at an early morning briefing on Monday. The pair touted massive decreases in border crossings as well as new executive orders aimed at deportations and further border enforcement.
"We are in the process of carrying out the largest deportation campaign in American history," Leavitt said. "After four years of being vilified by the Biden-Harris administration, our heroic ICE officers can finally do their jobs." Homan joined Leavitt and
Last year around this time, Vice President Kamala Harris, President Joe Biden, the Democratic Party and liberal commentators insisted the only thing that would fix the greatest border crisis in American history was a special Senate bill, or “comprehensive immigration reform,” or fixing the “root causes.”
There was nothing else that could stop the 10 million illegal immigrants whom Biden allowed into the country.
It took President Trump approximately one hour to prove them wrong.
The signature achievement of Trump’s first 100 days in office — fixing the border — was achieved by dusting off a few old tools that were always in the back shed.

Even after the loss of the Harris-Walz ticket last November, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) continues to find himself making headlines. Last week, he dared to still go after Elon Musk, even after a district attorney in his state, Mary Moriarty, is seeking diversion rather than criminal charges for a state employee who allegedly caused over $20,000 in damages to six Teslas, which is a felony. Walz also ranted and raved against President Donald Trump at his state of the state address that same week. During memorable moments he seemed particularly proud of, Walz talked about freedom.

California non-residents may now apply for a concealed carry permit, thanks to a court victory achieved by Gun Owners of America, the Second Amendment Foundation, Gun Owners of California, and the California Rifle & Pistol Association.
On January 24, 2025, Breitbart News noted U.S District Judge Sherilyn Garnett’s order which opened the door for California non-resident members of GOA, SAF, GOC, and CRPA, to apply for concealed carry permits in the Golden State.
Garnett’s order made clear that members of the aforementioned organizations can apply as long as they “are not otherwise prohibited from possessing firearms under federal or California law.”
Moreover, the order explains:
Congress is debating whether a California law called Proposition 12 should dictate farming practices nationwide. What’s noteworthy is not only the law’s effect on national food prices but the identity of the organization puppeteering the campaign.

Almost six years ago, before I started working at American Thinker, I wrote a post on my personal blog about Obama’s purge of many military leaders who believed in traditional American values. I entitled it, “Under Obama, there came to be a cancer in the Pentagon.”

Will the next pope continue the last pope’s consistent record of appeasing Islam?
The late Pope Francis had a long record of whitewashing Islamic jihad violence and making moral equivalence arguments in order to downplay jihad terror. Back in 2017, Ahmed al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Cairo’s al-Azhar, noticed the pope’s yeoman service for the Islamic cause and thanked him for his “defense of Islam against the accusation of violence and terrorism.”
Francis was not just a defender of Islam but also a defender of the Sharia death penalty for blasphemy. After Islamic jihadists in Jan. 2015 murdered the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists who had drawn Muhammad, Francis obliquely justified the murders

Foreign donors have given as much to U.S. universities in the last four years as they did in the previous 40, according to a new report by the Network Contagion Research Institute shared exclusively with The Free Press. The study shows an explosion in overseas funding for American schools between 2021 and 2024, with nearly $29 billion in foreign money donated during that period.
Qatar and China are among the largest sources of funding.
That $29 billion figure is more than double the total for the preceding four years, and accounts for half of the estimated $57.97 billion in foreign funding since 1986, when the federal government began tracking the data.

President Donald Trump’s White House lawn is currently serving as a reminder of just how deeply illegal immigration has impacted families and communities in the United States.
Trump’s ongoing war on illegal immigration, which had been occurring largely unobstructed by former President Joe Biden’s administration, is seeing a fair amount of success. On Monday morning, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt took to X to share a video of the new signs decorating the lawn at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. They feature the photos and alleged crimes of the reported “illegal aliens” who have been arrested during Trump’s first 100 days in office.

It is rare to have such a widespread outage on the peninsula.
The countries have a combined population of over 50 million people. It was not immediately clear how many people are affected.
Spain´s public broadcaster RTVE said a major power outage hit several regions of the country at around 12:30 p.m. local time, leaving its newsroom, Spain´s parliament in Madrid and metro stations across the country in the dark.
President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order Monday that ensures truckers are adept at speaking English, America’s official language, Breitbart News can reveal.
A White House document on the expected executive order, reviewed by Breitbart News, aims to ensure those operating a commercial vehicle in the United States are qualified and proficient English speakers.
“President Trump believes that English is a non-negotiable safety requirement for professional drivers, as they should be able to read and understand traffic signs, communicate with traffic safety officers, border patrol, agricultural checkpoints, and cargo weight-limit station personnel, and provide and receive feedback and directions in English,”
You know the adage, "Don't shoot yourself in the foot"? That's exactly what New Yorkers are doing by pouring their tax dollars into the Legal Aid Society. It should be called the Illegal Aid Society. It's 99% publicly funded -- with your state and local tax dollars -- and its chief business is litigating and lobbying to force changes in the law that will benefit criminals and handcuff the police. Sadly, it's been quite successful. I sat down with Gotham's longest-serving police commissioner, Ray Kelly, on Monday to get his take on the damage done. "The Legal Aid Society seems hell-bent on ignoring the plight of the victim

With Pride festivals and parades fast approaching, organizers in major US cities are scrambling to make up hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost corporate sponsorships.
Many are tapping smaller businesses and local communities to ensure their signature annual events proceed as planned. But they say the shortfalls are cutting into funding to support other LGBTQ programs throughout the year — and their long-term viability.
Over in Minnesota, Andi Otto, Executive Director of Twin Cities Pride, argues, “We spend our money as a community in these
Democrats spent years insisting that there was no border crisis, but the American people saw the truth with their own eyes. Illegal immigration became a driving issue in the 2024 election and helped propel Trump back into the White House. Yet despite the message from voters, Democrats still haven’t learned their lesson. They continue to prioritize the interests of illegal immigrants over their own constituents and stubbornly deny the very real crisis that President Trump is working to fix.
President Donald Trump just turned their denial into an epic display of truth that has liberal heads exploding across Washington. In a masterful trolling of the open-borders crowd, the White House lawn
While the abortion pill is touted as “safe and effective,” shocking new data suggests complications are 22 times higher than previously reported. A study from the Ethics and Public Policy Center released on Monday found that 10.93 percent of women who had mifepristone abortions — the first drug used in a two-drug medication abortion regimen — experienced severe complications including sepsis, infection, hemorrhaging, or another serious adverse event within 45 days following the abortion. This percentage is significantly higher than the less than 0.5 percent in clinical trials reported on the FDA-approved drug label.
Trump administration 'Border Czar' Tom Homan told CBS News that in the case of a mother deported to Honduras with her US-born child, "having a U.S. citizen child after you enter this country illegally is not a get out of jail free card -- it doesn't make you immune from our laws."
"When you enter the country illegally, and you know you're here illegally, and you choose to have a U.S. citizen child, that's on you," he said.
Margaret Brennan, CBS News: Well, let's talk about what's happening on the interior. On Friday, there were three American citizen children, born here, who were deported along with their mothers from Louisiana

ABC News’ Senior Political Correspondent Rachel Scott promoted the importance of “accuracy” in journalism after winning the White House Correspondents Association award for reporting under deadline pressure on Sunday. The award and $2,500 cash prize was for her live television coverage of the July 13 assassination attempt on then-candidate Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in which he was shot in the ear.
“Journalism at its core is the act of bearing witness. We in this room are not just storytellers. We are also witnesses to history, and that comes with a deep responsibility to report with clarity, accuracy and integrity, even moments of panic and distress,”
Federal authorities announced Sunday that more than a hundred illegal immigrants were detained in a massive raid at an underground nightclub in Colorado Springs that officials say was "frequented by TdA and MS-13 terrorists."
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Rocky Mountain Division led a multi-agency operation early Sunday morning and arrested 114 illegal immigrants at the venue that contained more than 200 people inside.
Authorities uncovered drugs, including pink cocaine, as well as evidence of prostitution and multiple firearms during the operation, according to the DEA.

Illinois Democrat Governor J.B. Pritzker, apparently beginning his quest for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, called for “mass protests” and “destruction” in an evident attempt to outflank any other prospective candidate in rhetoric targeting the Trump administration.
An average of recent polls of prospective 2028 Democratic presidential candidates found that former Vice President Kamala Harris led with 27.1%, followed by former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg at 16.1%, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) at 12.9%, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker at 8.6%, and California Governor Gavin Newsom at 7.9%. Pritzker ranked 10th with 3.2%.
Speaking at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner on Sunday, Pritzker bellowed, “Never before
For some, it’s hard to imagine an unpaid civil servant doing an important job for the government could be treated worse than Elon Musk. The government cost-cutting head of DOGE has been rewarded for his service by a boycott of Tesla and its stock, by death threats, insults, and violent attacks on Tesla dealers and owners. And now, according to the latest I&I/TIPP Poll, a surprisingly large share of the population backs this behavior.
The national online I&I/TIPP poll was taken by 1,452 adults from March 26 to March 28. It has a margin of error of +/-2.6 percentage points. The poll was intended to look at the anti-Musk phenomenon,

President Trump will sign a sweeping “law and order” executive order Monday to overhaul policies that he says hamstring police and prevent the mass deportation of illegal immigrants, The Post has learned.
The bucket of seven major reforms, outlined in an administration document, includes instructing the Justice Department to “create a mechanism to provide legal resources and indemnification for officers facing unjust expenses from official duties, including pro bono assistance.”
The order also seeks to “increase surplus military assets for local law enforcement” — which Democratic administrations have curtailed — and calls for authorities to “pursue legal action against state or local officials obstructing criminal or immigration law enforcement,”
The second illegal migrant nabbed in Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s Gucci bag theft has been identified as a Chilean national who was released into the US despite being handed a notice of “expedited removal,” The Post has learned.
Cristian Rodrigo Montecino-Sanzana was busted in Miami on Sunday after he and another illegal migrant allegedly made off with Noem’s designer purse containing $3,000 in cash last week, law enforcement sources said.
Montecino-Sanzana was released into the US in January 2021, according to sources — despite the US Border Patrol issuing him a notice of expedited removal when he was apprehended trying to sneak across the southern border in December.
Investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger says that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the CIA and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) helped orchestrate President Trump’s 2019 impeachment.
In an interview on Fox News, Shellenberger recounted how the impeachment case was brought about based on the word of a CIA analyst, left over from the Obama administration, who claimed to have heard from White House staff that Trump had pressured Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, in a phone call, to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden.
Shellenberger said that a memo written by that analyst, which served as the basis for Trump’s impeachment, relied heavily on a report done

For decades, federal law has required U.S. universities to disclose the sources of large foreign donations to the federal government. But the Biden administration sparsely enforced the law, allowing foreign nationals from adversarial countries to funnel cash to top American schools and stay anonymous.
In some cases, it's unclear whether the schools themselves are keeping close track of the foreign money they accept. In early February, the Washington Free Beacon filed state records requests with 11 public universities for the identities of foreign donors that gave the schools more than $20,000 in the past two years.
The White House lawn has been lined with dozens of mug shot-style posters brandishing the faces of arrested illegal migrants — and lists of the despicable crimes some have committed.
The placards, emblazoned with “ARRESTED,” could be seen lined up along the White House driveway first thing Monday.
“White House lawn looks a little different this AM,” Trump administration spokesperson, Kaelan Dorr, said in an X post.
Last week, after their absurd attempt to make a martyr of Salvadoran deportee Kilmar Abrego Garcia, some Democrats seemed to realize they had committed a political blunder. As Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) put it, “I don’t know if that’s the right issue that Democrats should be focusing on right now.” Many polls, including a CBS/YouGov survey released Sunday, indicate that most Americans support the deportation of people living in the U.S. illegally. Yet, when a Wisconsin judge was arrested for aiding a “migrant” in his effort to escape immigration officials, the Democrats repeated their error.
While accepting an award at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, Axios reporter Alex Thompson acknowledged that he and other members of the mainstream media failed to properly report on President Biden’s declining mental acuity.
“Being truth tellers also means telling the truth about ourselves,” Thompson said as he accepted the Aldo Beckman Award for Overall Excellence in White House Coverage. “We, myself included, missed a lot of this story.”
“President Biden’s decline and its cover-up by the people around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless of party, is capable of deception,” he added.
“Some people trust us less because of it,”
