Breitbart: Nolte: Border Czar Tom Homan Says Illegal Daily Encounters Down to 229 from 11,000
Border Czar Tom Homan reported a significant drop in illegal alien encounters at the Southwest border, with only 229 in the last 24 hours compared to 11,000 under the Biden administration. He noted that such low numbers are unprecedented in his experience since 1984.
Homan criticized the previous administration's narrative that a massive border security bill was necessary to manage illegal immigration. He argued that the closure of a San Diego shelter for illegals reflects the effectiveness of stricter border policies, suggesting that a wall and clear deportation policies are essential to deter illegal crossings.
Fox News: Conservative group slaps top federal agency with lawsuit over Biden-era handling of illegal immigrants
A conservative group, CASA, is suing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for transparency regarding the handling of criminal illegal immigrants under the Biden administration. The lawsuit follows a Freedom of Information Act request for records on noncitizens with criminal backgrounds, which DHS has not responded to.
CASA claims that the American public deserves to know how the government manages illegal immigrants, especially those with serious convictions. The lawsuit aims to compel DHS to release internal communications and data related to the release of these individuals into communities.

Front Page Magazine: Mythologies About Musk
Elon Musk's role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been mischaracterized. He is not cutting federal programs but is authorized to audit and propose cuts to identify waste in the budget. His appointment, like many others, does not require Senate confirmation.
Claims that foreign aid is ending or that Musk's power is unprecedented are misleading. Foreign aid remains substantial, and Trump retains discretion over its distribution. Historical precedents show that non-elected individuals have held significant authority in government roles without Senate confirmation.
Front Page Magazine: Judicial Coup
Federal judges have increasingly asserted control over government spending and policy decisions, undermining the authority of the elected president. They have blocked initiatives from the Trump administration, including employee buyouts and changes to government websites, claiming these actions lack a legal basis.
This judicial overreach is viewed as a threat to the constitutional balance of power, with judges substituting their values for those of elected officials. Critics argue this undermines democracy and the will of the people, as judges impose their preferences through legal interpretations rather than allowing elected representatives to govern.
CNSNews: By Blocking Federal Funding Freeze, Judge Kept Millions Flowing to a Non-Profit He Headed
A federal judge, John McConnell, who blocked President Trump's spending freeze, is facing impeachment for alleged overreach and conflict of interest. He is linked to a nonprofit, Crossroads Rhode Island, which benefits from government funding, raising ethical concerns about his ruling.
Rep. Andrew Clyde has introduced articles of impeachment, citing McConnell's failure to disclose his ties to the nonprofit. America First Legal Foundation has called for his recusal, arguing that his connections create a significant appearance of impropriety.

Front Page Magazine: Vance Calls Out the European Commissars
JD Vance criticized European leaders at the Munich Security Conference, likening them to Soviet commissars for their handling of free speech. He highlighted the dangers of suppressing dissent, particularly in Sweden, where a Christian activist was convicted for burning the Qur’an, leading to his friend's murder.
Vance warned that the erosion of free speech threatens the foundation of free societies in Europe, as exemplified by the persecution of those who challenge oppressive ideologies. He urged European leaders to recognize and rectify this trend before it undermines their freedoms further.

Fox News: Trump right to keep European allies from Ukraine talks, they'd be 'obstacle' to peace, expert says
The Trump administration's potential exclusion of European allies from Ukraine negotiations has sparked concern among European leaders. Experts suggest that the lack of consensus within NATO regarding Ukraine's membership and the belief that Europeans do not influence the talks may justify this approach.
While Trump asserts that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy will be part of the discussions, critics warn that excluding Europe could undermine a sustainable resolution to the conflict. They argue that European involvement is crucial, given their direct stake in the situation and the need for shared commitments in any agreement.
