Breitbart: CNN's Honig: There Is 'a Pretty Strong Case' Against New York Over Immigration Law
CNN Senior Legal Analyst Elie Honig commented on a recent DOJ case against New York state regarding immigration policies. He emphasized that New York's laws may obstruct federal enforcement, potentially violating the Supremacy Clause, which prioritizes federal law over state law.
Honig noted that while there were missteps in the announcement of the case, the DOJ appears to have strong legal grounds to challenge New York's actions. He believes the state lacks the authority to interfere with federal immigration enforcement efforts.
Fox News: DOGE discovers the Biden-Mayorkas illegal migration funding machine
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has revealed substantial federal spending linked to facilitating illegal immigration under the Biden administration.

The Biden administration has redirected existing programs to provide unprecedented financial support for illegal immigration, raising concerns about taxpayer-funded mass migration.
