Ted Cruz wants Uncle Sam to give each American baby $1,000
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tx., has introduced a proposal for the federal government to provide $1,000 in an account for every American child. The "Invest America Act" would create "a private tax-advantaged account with a $1,000 seed investment from the federal government for every American child at birth," according to a press release. People would also be able to add funds to the account. China Winning Ai Race Would Be 'Catastrophic,' Says Ted Cruz After Sam Altman Hearing "Each Invest America account will be open to contributions from individuals, family members, friends, and businesses up to $5,000 annually," the release states. "The account investments can be placed in a broad, low-cost fund that tracks the S&P 500, growing tax-deferred until the individual reaches age 18. Distributions after age 18 would be taxed at the capital gains rate." Cruz's proposal comes as the U.S. national debt is more than $36.2 trillion, and is likely to keep climbing.

All five had been convicted of violent crimes, including aggravated murder, first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and rape. The sixth inmate is a U.S. citizen and a confirmed member of the Sureño 13 gang, serving a sentence for second-degree murder.

Homan accuses Democrats of defending a 'wife beater' amid new scrutiny over deported migrant's past
Trump administration "border czar" Tom Homan is slamming Democratic lawmakers for continuing to support Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a deported migrant who is now facing new scrutiny over past allegations of domestic abuse. "It supports what we've been saying from day one. We removed a public safety threat," Homan told "America Reports" Thursday. A 2020 protective order filed in Maryland accuses Abrego Garcia of repeated physical and verbal abuse against his wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, and emotional abuse toward her children. The petition lists multiple alleged incidents over several years, including claims that he kicked, slapped, shoved, and detained her against her will. Vasquez Sura also claimed in the filing that she possessed a recording in which Abrego Garcia allegedly told her ex-mother-in-law that "even if he kills me no one can do anything to him." She described a 2019 incident where he allegedly grabbed her by the hair in a car, dragged her, and a month later broke doors, shoved her against a wall, and damaged household items. The 2020 order was filed prior to the petition she filed against Abrego Garcia in 2021, where she claimed similar violent behaviors. Accused Ms-13 Ringleader One Step Closer To Deportation After Judge Dismisses Charges Read On The Fox News App Homan said Thursday that Democrats were advocating for the wrong person. "I hope Democrats keep going down there [to El Salvador]. I hope they keep playing this game," he said. "They're showing the American people they're supporting a gang member, terrorist, public safety threat, wife beater rather than meeting with the angel moms and dads." The Trump administration continues to defend Abrego Garcia's deportation, even though it previously admitted it was carried out in error, citing evidence that allegedly links him to the MS-13 gang. Nc Illegal Immigrants Kidnap Mom, Daughter At Gunpoint As Fbi Manhunt Ensues For 3Rd Suspect: Police According to immigration officials, police assessed that Abrego Garcia was a gang member following a 2019 arrest in Maryland for loitering. His attorneys said Abrego Garcia was looking for labor work. Authorities also cited tattoos, gang-related clothing, an arrest alongside a suspected MS-13 member, and information from an informant as supporting evidence of gang ties. In 2022, Abrego Garcia was stopped in Tennessee for speeding in a car registered to a convicted human smuggler. Though initially suspected of involvement in smuggling, he was ultimately never charged. Democrats, including Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen, have argued that Abrego Garcia was wrongly deported and is not a gang member. In April, the Supreme Court upheld a lower court decision ordering the Trump administration to facilitate his return to the U.S. While the administration has agreed to remove obstacles to Abrego Garcia's return, they claim the decision ultimately rests with the government of El Salvador. "Were we supposed to go into a sovereign nation and kidnap one of their nationals?" Homan said, referring to Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele's stance on not returning Abrego Garcia. "Bukele's made it clear; he's a citizen national of El Salvador." Ex-new Mexico Judge, Wife Who Allegedly Harbored Illegal Tren De Aragua Member Released On Bond Responding to critics who say Abrego Garcia was denied due process, Homan emphasized that immigration courts had already ruled on the case. Several Democratic lawmakers have traveled to El Salvador in protest of the deportation. Homan argues their actions highlight misplaced priorities. "They can keep playing that game. It's a loser for them. We'll keep doing what we're doing," he said. Homan also pushed back against ongoing criticism of the Trump administration's immigration policies and mass deportation agenda. "I knew [on] day one of the inauguration that we're going to be fighting the courts, we're [going to] be fighting the Democrats … We knew the fight was coming and we're [going to] take that fight on," he article source: Homan accuses Democrats of defending a 'wife beater' amid new scrutiny over deported migrant's past

Accused MS-13 ringleader one step closer to deportation after judge dismisses charges
A federal judge has cleared the way for a man described by the Department of Justice (DOJ) as MS-13's leader on the East Coast to be deported. U.S. District Court Judge Claude Hilton dismissed criminal charges against Henrry Josue Villatoro Santos, 24, of El Salvador on Wednesday, according to his lawyer, Muhammad Elsayed. Villatoro Santos was arrested during a raid on his Woodbridge, Virginia, home on March 27 and was charged with being an illegal alien in possession of a firearm. He was considered one of the top three leaders of the vicious transnational MS-13 gang living in the United States, and federal authorities noted that they had found MS-13 indicia in his bedroom and garage. Kash Patel, Fbi Tout $5M Reward For Capturing Ms-13 'Terrorist Leader' Unleashing Evil On Americans On April 9, Attorney General Pam Bondi filed a motion to dismiss the gun charges against Villatoro Santos in an effort to have him immediately deported to El Salvador, rather than standing trial and potentially spending years in a U.S. prison. That motion was briefly delayed by a federal judge on April 18, before Wednesday's decision was handed down. Read On The Fox News App Elsayed told Fox News Digital that he filed an emergency habeas petition and a temporary restraining order against the government to stop his client's deportation. Maryland Sheriff Infuriated By Senator's Trip To Visit Ms-13 Suspect, Silence On Local Murder Victims He said that since Wednesday's hearing, "the government has finally confirmed that it has placed Mr. Villatoro in removal proceedings and that he will be given his day in court as required by law." "No one in America should have to wonder whether they will be afforded their basic due process rights when they are detained by the government, and no one should live in fear that they may be forcibly disappeared to a foreign autocracy in the middle of the night," he said. He accused the federal government of turning the case into a "publicity stunt." "If we do away with due process for alleged undocumented immigrants, then American citizens are equally at risk of being unlawfully deported—how do you prove that you are not in the country illegally if you are never given your day in [court]?" Elsayed asked. A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Virginia declined to comment, citing the ongoing nature of the case. Fox News Digital reached out to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Since President Donald Trump was inaugurated in January, his administration has made it a top priority to arrest and deport the most violent illegal aliens in the country, cracking down especially hard on MS-13 and the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. Assistant Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital that the gangs are "getting desperate," and that 2,394 illegal immigrant gang members were arrested in Trump's first 100 days. "This is just the beginning," she said. "This is just 100 days. We want to get these arrest numbers up. We want to get MS-13, Tren de Aragua — these really bad actors — out of our country. And that's what we're going to deliver on," she article source: Accused MS-13 ringleader one step closer to deportation after judge dismisses charges
