Video: Activists ‘shielded a killer' in ICE operation near Boston
A group of activists forced Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Boston agents to abandon a surveillance operation at the home of an illegal immigrant suspect wanted for murder after surrounding the agents' vehicle and blowing their cover. Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported that ICE agents were 'surveilling a murderer's home in their car, when a crowd surrounded their vehicle, blew their cover, and they had to pull off the target.' Melugin explained that the incident took place last Thursday in Somerville, Massachusetts, which is near Boston, and that the murderer was located 'close to a school.'

'They shielded a killer.' Following last week's incident, an activist shared a video on social media and appeared to be bragging about stopping ICE's operation in Somerville. 'ICE just tried to abduct a bunch of kids and parents right here at Somerville High School, and so many community members showed up that ICE just left,' the activist said. 'Remember, you are the major power in your community. If you show up with people you trust quickly; you can protect kids, you can protect families. So form information networks, know where ICE is in your community, and show up.' According to Fox News, ICE officials have started to face growing resistance from sanctuary states and cities, as well as various activist groups across the country. The outlet noted that in addition to activists blowing the cover of the ICE agents who were surveilling an illegal immigrant murderer's home, another activist reportedly tried to prevent agents from arresting an illegal immigrant who had been handcuffed by law enforcement officials. Addressing the resistance ICE officials have faced in recent weeks, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia Hyde told Fox News, 'I think the lack of cooperation is getting worse and worse, and it's putting law enforcement lives in danger.' 'We're not going away,' Hyde added. 'It might take us longer. It might be harder, but we're not going away, we're here. We know what the American people voted for. We understand that we work for the American people and we're going to be here until we send everyone home.'

I've seen it over and over and over. I don't give a damn about access out here. I've worked in the Los Angeles market since 2017. I've got my own contacts. I don't need politicians to talk to. Whether they like my stories or not, I don't give a dam. So we'll keep reporting these stories, and if the others want to ignore them, that's fine. We're gonna keep putting them out there.'

Trump Ends Federal Benefits for Illegal Aliens
President Trump signed his executive order, PRESERVING FEDERAL BENEFITS FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS, Wednesday night 'to ensure taxpayer resources are not used to incentivize or support illegal immigration.' Details of the EO are here. Wednesday afternoon, Trump delivered remarks in front of a group of billionaires at the Faena Hotel during Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund's FII PRIORITY Miami 2025 conference. A White House official told Melugin that Trump's executive order will direct federal agency and department heads to identify all federally funded programs that provide financial benefits to illegal aliens, and for them to 'take corrective action.' The measure is reportedly designed to ensure that any federal funds to states and localities 'will not be used to support sanctuary policies or assist illegal immigration.' While illegal aliens are not supposed to be eligible for welfare programs, the Biden-Harris regime abused loopholes to confer 'status' to millions of non citizens as a part of their catch-and-release agenda, the Economic Policy Innovation Center pointed out in its December 2024 report. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), there were 10.8 million encounters with illegal aliens between fiscal years 2021 and 2024. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that the net immigration of illegal immigrants totaled 7.3 million between FY 2021 and 2024. In comparison, net migration of illegals was negative in the four years prior to this. For the past four years, illegal aliens have been receiving welfare benefits from many different public assistance programs, including: Food Stamps (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, 'SNAP') Child nutrition programs Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Child Tax Credit (CTC) Obamacare Premium Tax Credit Obamacare cost sharing subsidies Medicare Medicaid Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Pell Grants Student loans Head Start Public housing Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF) The cost of welfare programs for noncitizens is estimated to be in the billions. The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimated that federal expenditures on illegal aliens in 2023 totaled nearly $66.5 billion, including more than $23 billion in federal medical expenditures and $11.6 billion in welfare benefits from Food Stamps, child nutrition, SSI, and other programs. In its 'Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration On United States Taxpayers 2023' report, FAIR estimated that the net cost of illegal immigration for the United States at the federal, state, and local levels at the start of 2023 was at least $150.7 billion. The Manhattan Institute estimated that 'every new illegal immigrant has an average net fiscal burden of about $130,000.'
