Dems Mount an Insurrection on ICE Facility?

Dems Mount an Insurrection on ICE Facility?

Fox News12-05-2025

Democrats attempted a very weird Shawshank redemption prison break moment and it went about as well as you'd imagine.
I'm Tomi Lahren, more next.
The Trump Administration is going around arresting mayors and, potentially, sitting members of Congress for no apparent reason!
Well, at least that's the story you'll hear from the media and the lying mouths of Democrats ON mainstream media.
The REAL story goes like this, members of Congress- including the Mayor of Newark who was arrested on site- stormed the barrier at an ICE detention facility in New Jersey during a detainee transfer, seemingly shoved federal agents and impeded a law enforcement operation.
Still, claim THEY were roughed up but the body cam footage paints a very different picture!
They claim they were there to 'conduct oversight' but let's be clear, these elected officials could have requested a tour of the facility to do their 'oversight' and could've conducted themselves like members of congress and public servants rather than feral bobcats, but no.
Charge them all, honestly!
No one is above the law. Your performative outbursts might get you TV time but they could also get you jail time if you don't clean up your act!

Democratic governors will defend immigration policies before Republican-led House panel

WASHINGTON (AP) — As President Donald Trump spars with California's governor over immigration enforcement, Republicans in Congress are calling other Democratic governors to the Capitol on Thursday to question them over policies limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform posted a video ahead of the hearing highlighting crimes allegedly committed by immigrants in the U.S. illegally and pledging that 'sanctuary state governors will answer to the American people.' The hearing is to include testimony from Govs. JB Pritzker of Illinois, Tim Walz of Minnesota and Kathy Hochul of New York. There's no legal definition of a sanctuary jurisdiction, but the term generally refers to governments with policies limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Courts previously have upheld the legality of such laws. But Trump's administration has sued Colorado, Illinois, New York and several cities — including Chicago and Rochester, New York — asserting their policies violate the U.S. Constitution or federal law. Illinois, Minnesota and New York also were among 14 states and hundreds of cities and counties recently listed by the Department of Homeland Security as 'sanctuary jurisdictions defying federal immigration law.' The list later was removed from the department's website after criticism that it errantly included some local governments that support Trump's immigration policies. As Trump steps up immigration enforcement, some Democratic-led states have intensified their resistance by strengthening state laws restricting cooperation with immigration agents. Following clashes between crowds of protesters and immigration agents in Los Angeles, Trump deployed the National Guard to protect federal buildings and agents, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom accused Trump of declaring 'a war' on the underpinnings of American democracy. The House Oversight Committee has long been a partisan battleground, and in recent months it has turned its focus to immigration policy. Thursday's hearing follows a similar one in March in which the Republican-led committee questioned the Democratic mayors of Chicago, Boston, Denver and New York about sanctuary policies. Heavily Democratic Chicago has been a sanctuary city for decades. In 2017, then-Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner, a Republican, signed legislation creating statewide protections for immigrants. The Illinois Trust Act prohibits police from searching, arresting or detaining people solely because of their immigration status. But it allows local authorities to hold people for federal immigration authorities if there's a valid criminal warrant. Pritzker, who succeeded Rauner in 2019, said in remarks prepared for the House committee that violent criminals 'have no place on our streets, and if they are undocumented, I want them out of Illinois and out of our country.' 'But we will not divert our limited resources and officers to do the job of the federal government when it is not in the best interest of our state, our local communities, or the safety of our residents,' he said. Pritzker has been among Trump's most outspoken opponents and is considered a potential 2028 presidential candidate. He said Illinois has provided shelter and services to more than 50,000 immigrants who were sent there from other states. A Department of Justice lawsuit against New York challenges a 2019 law that allows immigrants illegally in the U.S. to receive New York driver's licenses and shields driver's license data from federal immigration authorities. That built upon a 2017 executive order by then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo that prohibited New York officials from inquiring about or disclosing a person's immigration status to federal authorities, unless required by law. Hochul's office said law enforcement officers still can cooperate with federal immigration authorities when people are convicted of or under investigation for crimes. Since Hochul took office in 2021, her office said, the state has transferred more than 1,300 incarcerated noncitizens to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the completion of their state sentences. Minnesota doesn't have a statewide sanctuary law protecting immigrants in the U.S. illegally, though Minneapolis and St. Paul both restrict the extent to which police and city employees can cooperate with immigration enforcement. Some laws signed by Walz have secured benefits for people regardless of immigration status. But at least one of those is getting rolled back. The Minnesota Legislature, meeting in a special session, passed legislation Monday to repeal a 2023 law that allowed adults in the U.S. illegally to be covered under a state-run health care program for the working poor. Walz insisted on maintaining eligibility for children who aren't in the country legally, ___ Lieb reported from Jefferson City, Mo. Also contributing were Associated Press writers Anthony Izaguirre in Albany, N.Y.; Steve Karnowski in St. Paul, Minn.; and Sophia Tareen in Chicago.

Remembering one of the original Beach Boys Brian Wilson, an eclectic genius whose sunny Beach Boys songs helped define a revved-up era of American popular music, has died at age 82. Wilson's epic career arc spanned most of his life and was as defined by prolonged bouts of mental illness as it was by meticulously constructed pop confections. The sublime harmonizing on tunes like "California Girls" defined the Southern California ethos, while the inspired orchestration on the Wilson-produced album "Pet Sounds" caused a bowled-over Beatles to respond with "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." Despite decades away from the musical mainstream in the 1970s and '80s, when his psychological torments were most aggressive, Wilson's towering impact was never in question.

'No Kings Day' protests planned for Saturday nationwide Protests are planned for 1,800 communities across the country Saturday, the same day President Trump holds a military parade in Washington. The rallies, named "No Kings Day" to oppose what they see as Trump's power grab, are expected to be the largest and most numerous protests since Trump's second term began. Organizers say the march putting American flags and American imagery front and center is "very intentional" because the protesters believe Trump's actions, from attacking universities and political institutions to holding a military parade, are "un-American." About a dozen veteran groups partnered to create the protests. Major student loan changes just came one step closer to becoming law GOP lawmakers in the U.S. Senate this week proposed their version of the higher education section of President Trump's tax and spending megabill. The 71-page portion of the so-called "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" would set new caps on student loan borrowing while drastically cutting the number of repayment plans. Like the House bill, the Senate measure proposes cutting the number of student loan repayment plans to just two. The Senate bill would also dramatically curb lending for graduate students and parents (though at lower caps than House Republicans wanted).

L.A. Police Suppress Protests as ‘Anti-Trump' Demos Planned for Weekend

LOS ANGELES—Thousands of demonstrators on the streets of downtown Los Angeles chanted 'ICE out of L.A.' on the sixth day of protests against the Trump administration's immigration raids.

Hundreds of officers in riot gear surrounded the area and dispersed the crowd before the 8 p.m. curfew, first imposed by Mayor Karen Bass the day before.
