SCOTUS Upheld Birthright Citizenship. Birth Tourism Stays Untouched.

DOJ has prosecuted real birth-tourism fraud rings since 2015, and Border Czar Tom Homan calls Chinese and Russian birth tourism “a SIGNIFICANT national security threat.” But no documented case shows a birth-tourism-born child recruited for espionage — here’s what’s proven, what’s alleged, and what’s speculation.

$998 a Day, Backdated Five Years. The Feds Revived a 1996 Law and Started Mailing Deportees Million-Dollar Bills.

DHS dusted off 8 U.S.C. § 1324d — a dormant 1996 civil-penalty law — to fine immigrants who stay past a final removal order $998 a day, backdated five years to roughly $1.82 million. More than 65,000 notices have gone out under DHS Sec. Kristi Noem (R). Self-deport via the CBP Home app and it’s all forgiven — plus a free flight and a cash bonus. A class action and DOJ collection suits are now in court.

How Did She Get Released? DHS Says a Chicago Teacher Drove the Tren de Aragua Gunmen.

DHS says a visa-overstaying ex-Illinois teacher drove Tren de Aragua gunmen to a December 2024 Chicago mass shooting that killed three — then walked out of a county jail with no call to ICE under Mayor Brandon Johnson’s (D) sanctuary firewall. Federal agents re-arrested her 17 months later. Pending case; Cook County disputes the account.

A Federal Judge Just Tossed Trump’s Lawsuit Against L.A.’s Sanctuary Law — and the Reason Isn’t That the Policy Is Wise.

Judge Fernando M. Olguin (Obama appointee) held that L.A.’s ordinance governs the city’s own employees, not the federal government, so Washington can’t commandeer local personnel for deportations. Claims against Mayor Karen Bass (D) were dismissed with prejudice; the DOJ may amend by July 3.

Feds Say a Drone-and-Sniper Plot Targeted the White House — DHS Says the Ringleader Was an Obama-Era DACA ‘Dreamer.’

The DOJ charged five men in an alleged plot to attack the UFC Freedom 250 event on White House grounds with explosive drones and snipers.

Two Utah Court Clerks Allegedly Ran an Escape Route for Illegal Aliens. Then Flipped Off the Camera.

A federal indictment alleges two former Logan, Utah clerks accessed court databases, identified non-citizens on the docket, and walked them out a back door past a waiting ICE officer — with one driving three of them away in her car. It’s a “Hannah Dugan” for clerks. They pleaded not guilty.

A Judge Clears Brad Lander Over the ICE-Court Protest. The Charge Was Blocking an Elevator.

A federal magistrate found former NYC Comptroller Brad Lander (D) not guilty of obstructing an elevator at 26 Federal Plaza during a 2025 anti-ICE protest.

Pay $50,000, Lie at the Interview, Buy a Citizen. The State Department Just Said No.

The State Department says it tore down birth-tourism networks across three continents — hundreds of cases, operators banned for life, and a $3M Irvine prosecution as the template. “A U.S. visa is a privilege, not a right.”

65% in New York, 62% in California: Non-Citizen Welfare Use, State by State.

A new Center for Immigration Studies analysis of Census data finds non-citizen households use traditional welfare at higher rates than the U.S.-born in 48 of 50 states — all 50 with tax credits added. The gap is concentrated in Medicaid and food aid, and runs highest in high-cost blue states.

They Lied to Become Citizens. Now the DOJ Wants the Citizenship Back.

The DOJ filed civil actions on June 8 to strip citizenship from 17 naturalized Americans accused of hiding child sex crimes, fraud, and drug distribution on their applications. Built on a 2025 Civil Division memo and 8 U.S.C. § 1451, denaturalization has scaled from a rare tool into a standing program.

Sanctuary Cities Sell “Compassion.” The Bill Goes to Everyone Else.

NYC alone spent $8.13B on asylum-seeker services in three fiscal years (City Comptroller). Massachusetts topped $1B in a single shelter year. Denver cut police and libraries to pay.

5 Dead on I-95 After Driver Jing Sheng Dong — No English, No Valid CDL, DUI — Crashed a Charter Bus. New York Was Handing Out Licenses Anyway.

Jing Sheng Dong, a Chinese-born naturalized citizen, killed five passengers on May 30, 2026 when his charter bus rolled over on I-95 in Connecticut. Dong spoke no English, held no valid CDL, had a prior DUI, and two speeding convictions that should have triggered CDL disqualification. FMCSA has since subpoenaed NY DMV records; 53% of New York’s foreign-license CDL conversions have been flagged as improperly issued.

AI Scammers Are Cloning Immigration Lawyers’ Identities — Then Robbing Desperate Immigrants of Everything. $94M in Losses. 2,000 FTC Complaints. Zero Federal Law Covering “Notarios.”

Criminal rings use deepfake voice and face technology to impersonate licensed immigration attorneys — running fake Zoom consultations, staging phony immigration courts, and collecting thousands per victim before vanishing. Two federal indictments in 2026 — Legacy Imigra (FL, $20M, 4 defendants) and CM Bufete (EDNY, fake Zoom courts) — illustrate a fraud wave FTC complaints say has doubled year-over-year.

Four Venezuelan Tren de Aragua Gang Members Pleaded Guilty to Murdering Two Bronx Civilians. Three Entered via Biden Catch-and-Release.

NJ AG Sues to Block the Delaney Hall ICE Detention Center. GEO Group Says It’s Fully Legal.

New Jersey AG Matthew Platkin (D) filed suit against GEO Group and ICE arguing the 1,000-bed Delaney Hall facility violates state civil detention law and the NJ Civil Rights Act. Federal DOJ intervened to block the suit. The facility is central to a DOJ–NJ standoff over Governor Mikie Sherrill’s (D) refusal to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.

“Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes.” The Warning Behind the Delaney Hall Arrests.

Behind the White House taunt at anti-ICE protesters: a DHS-reported 1,347% surge in assaults on ICE officers, a federal jury’s “Spokane 3” conspiracy convictions, and pending Newark charges for biting officers and a chemical spray. We name DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin (R), Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ), and Mayor Ras Baraka (D). Pending cases; presumed innocent.

Fake ICE Agents Are Robbing, Kidnapping, and Raping Immigrants. Biden’s Policies Built the Vulnerability.

31 documented ICE impersonation cases in 2025 — nearly 6× the decade-long average. 38% involved physical violence. The FBI warned in October 2025. Mayorkas’s sensitive-locations and enforcement-priority memos kept real ICE invisible, leaving immigrants unable to identify fake agents. Title 8 CFR: real agents aren’t required to show a badge.

AG Bondi Said It Was “What American Justice Looks Like.” An Obama Judge Said It Was “An Abuse of Prosecuting Power.” Every Charge Is Gone.

Obama-appointed Judge Waverly Crenshaw Jr. dismissed all charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia — alleged MS-13 member accused of 100+ human smuggling runs over 9 years. Indictment filed the same day he landed back in the US after winning his Supreme Court case. DOJ appealing. DHS: “naked judicial activism.” Sen. Van Hollen (D) celebrated.

The White House Just Launched a UFO-Themed Website. The “Aliens” Were Never From Space.

Aliens.gov launched May 28 — a live ICE arrest dashboard styled like a 1950s UFO poster. “THEY WALK AMONG US.

Biden peak: 5,110 USBP encounters/day → Trump: 251/day (95% drop). ICE arrests quadrupled vs. Biden.

14 ICE Partnerships, Voided in One Budget Vote. The Border Czar Promised to ‘Flood the Zone.’

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY)'s May 21 budget package voids all 14 active 287(g) MOAs across 9 NY counties + bars ICE jail-bed rentals + restricts sensitive locations + bans ICE masks. Border Czar Tom Homan: “flood the zone.” Nassau Co. Exec Bruce Blakeman (R), GOP gubernatorial nominee: “mad as hell” — preparing federal preemption lawsuit (In re Neagle, 1890). Rensselaer Exec Steve McLaughlin (R) on X: “we WILL continue to participate.” Broome Sheriff Akshar (R): “hill we're prepared to die on.” NYSSA President Sheriff Juan Figueroa (D) backs Hochul. NY is the 8th state to ban 287(g).

Fairfax County Sanctuary Policies Face Congressional Grilling — 100,000 Illegals in the County, 75% of 2026 Murder Suspects Are Illegal Aliens

Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) convened a congressional hearing on Fairfax County’s sanctuary policies. The county’s own sheriff’s data: 75% of 2026 murder suspects are illegal aliens. An estimated 100,000 illegal aliens reside in the county. Sheriff Stacey Kincaid (D) has declined ICE detainers for years. The Democrat-controlled Board of Supervisors controls the policy. Nine MS-13 members were arrested in the county in May 2025 alone.

Minnesota’s All-Democrat Pardon Board Freed an Illegal Alien Convicted of Felony Assault. ICE Had a Detainer Waiting.

The Minnesota Board of Pardons — Gov. Tim Walz (D), AG Keith Ellison (D), and Chief Justice Natalie Hudson (D-appointed) — granted a pardon to an illegal alien convicted of felony assault. An ICE detainer was on file. The individual was released and the detainer was declined. Walz was the 2024 Democratic VP nominee; Ellison served as DNC immigration platform chair in 2016.

A City Journal Investigation Names the Recipients. Newsom Routed $1B of California Taxpayer Money to a Nonprofit Network Whose Mission Is to Defund Federal Immigration Enforcement.

Christopher Rufo's April 22, 2026 City Journal investigation names 10 specific CA nonprofits receiving aggregate $500M+ in state funding under Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA). Catholic Charities $250M+. CHIRLA $110M (98% from CDSS). ImmDef CEO Lindsay Toczylowski: ‘merits-blind universal representation.’ Al Otro Lado operating in Tijuana on ‘freedom of movement.’ Sen. Hawley (R-MO) + Rep. Jordan (R-OH) opened formal CHIRLA inquiry June 2025 after LA ICE protests. Companion to our prior /newsom-migrant-subsidies system-wide piece.

California Taxpayers Spend $1 Billion a Year on Sanctuary Nonprofits. Newsom Just Kept the Spigot Open Through a $12B Deficit.

California distributes more than $1 billion annually through its network of state-funded immigration legal services providers, sanctuary enforcement prohibitions, and undocumented-immigrant benefit programs — while the state carries a $12 billion structural deficit. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) continues to expand access to Medi-Cal, professional licenses, and state ID cards to undocumented immigrants. The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimates California’s total illegal-immigration fiscal cost at $30.94 billion per year — the highest of any state. ICE documents 33,179 detainer refusals since Jan. 20, 2025 — including 399 homicide suspects and 3,139 assault suspects.

The GAO Just Confirmed: Biden Granted 2.86 Million Humanitarian Paroles. Congress Never Authorized a Single Program That Issued Them.

GAO report GAO-26-107433 (released May 2026) confirms the Biden administration granted 2.86 million humanitarian paroles across a constellation of programs — including 531,000 CHNV (Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela) and 985,000 CBP One entries — representing an 800% surge over prior baselines. GAO found DHS used its parole authority beyond its narrow statutory purpose and that Congress never authorized, funded, or reviewed any of the named programs as standalone legislative schemes. Congress passed the Laken Riley Act January 29, 2025 — the first Trump-era immigration legislation — mandating detention of illegal immigrants charged with theft or violence. Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee are pursuing appropriations riders to bar future mass-parole deployment.

A Federal Judge Just Banned ICE From Arresting Anyone Inside NYC’s Immigration Courts. The Trump DOJ Is Appealing Immediately.

U.S. District Judge P. Kevin Castel (Bush appointee, S.D.N.Y., case no. 1:25-cv-06366) issued a permanent injunction barring ICE arrests inside three New York City immigration court buildings. The ruling came in response to an ACLU-NY/NYCLU suit filed after a series of courthouse arrests in early 2025. The Trump DOJ, led by AG Pam Bondi (R), immediately filed notice of appeal to the Second Circuit, arguing that the executive branch retains inherent authority to execute federal immigration law at any federal facility. The decision creates a direct circuit-split setup with the First and Eleventh Circuits. ICE data shows 29 homicides, 2,509 assaults, and 1,172 sex offenses arrested at or near courthouses during prior enforcement operations nationally in the period covered by the government’s brief.

The Feeding Our Future Fraud Started With a Biden Policy That Turned $3.4M Into $197.9M. Ilhan Omar Wrote the Enabling Legislation.

Opinion / Editorial

The Biden administration’s USDA issued more than 100 COVID-era waivers extending pandemic feeding rules into 2022 despite documented fraud signals — growing Feeding Our Future’s USDA funding from $3.4 million (2019) to $197.9 million (2021), a 5,700% increase. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) co-sponsored the MEALS Act (March 2020), which permanently removed the on-site consumption requirement that had been the only meaningful verification checkpoint. USDA Sec. Tom Vilsack (D) extended the waiver past its COVID authorization. HHS Sec. Xavier Becerra (D) oversaw a $104M/yr Home and Community-Based Services program in MN that funded the same vendors. Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) dropped his own formal fraud complaint against FOF on January 5, 2026 — the day before the DOJ sentencing motion was filed.

A Four-Year-Old Was Crossing Peach Avenue. The Suspect Was Released by California Anyway.

Aman Kumar, 31, Indian national whom DHS says illegally crossed into California in 2023 and was released by the Biden administration, is alleged to have struck a 4-year-old boy crossing Peach Avenue in Fresno on April 28, 2026. Booked April 29 on felony hit-and-run. Fresno County jail released Kumar on bond; ICE detainer ignored under California SB 54 — signed by Gov. Jerry Brown (D-CA) in 2017 after a party-line Democratic vote. ICE re-arrested Kumar outside Fresno Superior Court on May 13. DHS Acting Asst. Sec. Lauren Bis named Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) directly. 4,561 ICE-detainer-ignored releases in CA since January 20, 2025 — including 31 homicide suspects and 234 sex-offense suspects.

It Took a Congressional Hearing to Get an Apology. The Fairfax DA Dropped 30+ Charges Against the Man Who Killed Her Daughter.

Stephanie Minter, 41, single mother, killed Feb 23, 2026 at a Fairfax County bus stop. Suspect Abdul Jalloh (32, Sierra Leonean, illegal status, ICE removal order on file) had 30+ prior arrests including rape and assault. Fairfax DA Steve Descano (D) had repeatedly dropped charges. Cheryl Minter didn’t get an apology from Descano until May 14, 2026 — in his subpoenaed congressional opening statement. Recall paperwork now being signed under Va. Code § 24.2-233. DOJ Civil Rights Division opened a parallel Title VI probe May 6.
