Lawless Governor Issues Guidelines to Shield Illegal Aliens From ICE Agents

Democrats chose a hill to die on—they will defend the last violent, human-trafficking Central American gangbanger escape from ICE no matter what the cost.

According to documents leaked by conservative radio host Dan O’Donnell, a Department of Administration (DOA) memo dated April 18 lays out explicit steps for Wisconsin state workers to follow when ICE agents arrive at government buildings.

Instead of cooperating with federal immigration enforcement, employees are being told to stonewall — refuse to answer questions, deny access to files, and even demand agents leave if no attorney is available.

The outrageous memo directs state employees to treat federal agents like unwanted intruders rather than trusted law enforcement partners. . .

In short, employees are ordered to stall, obstruct, and protect illegal aliens — even if those aliens are dangerous criminals wanted by the federal government. (Read more from “Lawless Governor Issues Guidelines to Shield Illegal Aliens From ICE Agents” HERE)

Treasury Secretary Reveals ‘Interaction’ With Chinese Counterpart Amid Trade War

On Sunday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed that he interacted with his Chinese counterpart this past week, a contact that comes as the United States and China are engaged in a trade war.

Beijing has denied there were trade talks with the United States, but President Donald Trump insisted to reporters that there were meetings with China.

On ABC’s “This Week,” Bessent told anchor Martha Raddatz, “This was IMF World Bank week in D.C., as you know, and I had interaction with my Chinese counterpart, but it was more on traditional things like financial stability, global economic early warnings.”

The United States has increased tariffs on China to 145% in bid to stop what the Trump administration says are unfair trade practices. China responded by raising tariffs on U.S. goods to 125%.

Trump indicated last week that tensions could be easing, saying the tariffs against China come down “substantially” — but not to “zero.” He also said that he has spoken “many times” with Chinese President Xi Jinping, although he did not clarify if those discussions happened after escalating tariffs.

Army Blackhawk Pilot in DC Crash Failed to Heed Flight Instructor’s Command 15 Seconds Before Deadly Collision: Report

The Army Blackhawk pilot involved in the Washington, DC, plane crash failed to heed her flight instructor’s warning just 15 seconds before the deadly crash that killed 67 people, according to a new report.

Moments before the deadly Jan. 29 crash near Reagan International Airport, Capt. Rebecca Lobach missed an order from co-pilot Andrew Eaves, who was overseeing her training mission, to change course and avoid the descending American Airlines jet, the New York Times reported.

Along with the error, officials found that the pilots “stepped on” some of the air traffic controller’s instructions, meaning they accidentally cut him off when pressing the button to talk over the radio and likely missed important information.

A key moment occurred around 8:46 p.m., when Eaves requested and received approval for the helicopter’s pilots to use their own visuals instead of air-traffic control to avoid other air traffic. The move is common practice to speed things up, but of course comes with the risk of more human error.

During that moment, investigators believe Eaves and Lobach failed to hear that the American Airlines plane was “circling” because one of them was pressing the microphone key to speak to air traffic control when the word came through.

WATCH: Feds Bust 114 Illegal Aliens During Raid at Colorado Underground Nightclub

Over 100 illegal aliens were busted during a raid at an underground nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on Sunday morning.

The operation, led by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Rocky Mountain Division, resulted in the arrest of 114 illegal aliens, Fox News reported.

The outlet noted that authorities said members of the violent gangs Tren de Aragua (TdA) and MS-13 frequented the venue.

Video footage the DEA shared of the raid shows officers swarming the building. One of them smashes a hole in what appears to be a window where flashing blue lights are seen inside.

Moments later, a door opens and people are seen pouring outside. Many of them held their hands up in surrender as officers confronted them and sirens began blaring. Several women are also among the group:

President Trump: Tariffs Will Lead to Income Tax Relief, Even Elimination

President Donald Trump said Sunday that his tariff policy will substantially reduce, even completely eliminate, income taxes for some American workers.

“When Tariffs cut in, many people’s Income Taxes will be substantially reduced, maybe even completely eliminated,” Trump wrote in a 6:06 a.m. post on Truth Social. “Focus will be on people making less than $200,000 a year.”

Trump continued, “Also, massive numbers of jobs are already being created, with new plants and factories currently being built or planned. It will be a BONANZA FOR AMERICA!!! THE EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE IS HAPPENING!!!

Trump has promoted an “external revenue service” before but may be citing the attractive idea again in the face of continuing criticism by detractors that he has launched a destructive “trade war” that has rattled the U.S. stock market and will result in higher prices for consumers.

Majority of Voters Describe Trump’s Second Term as ‘Chaotic’ and ‘Scary,’ New Poll Reveals

More than half of voters described President Trump’s second term in office as “chaotic” and “scary” in a new poll released Friday.

The New York Times/Siena College poll found 66% of registered US voters felt the term “chaotic” described Trump’s second stint in the White House well, while 59% thought “scary” was apt.

Nearly half of Republican voters (47%) agreed that the president’s first three months back in power have been “chaotic,” as did 75% of Independents.

Fewer Republicans and Independents — 36% and 61%, respectively — thought “scary” was the right word.

The survey found that 42% of voters described Trump’s second term as “exciting.”

Trump’s approval rating was underwater on every issue polled by the New York Times and Siena College. (Read more from “Majority of Voters Describe Trump’s Second Term as ‘Chaotic’ and ‘Scary,’ New Poll Reveals” HERE)

FBI Arrests Judge, Alleging She Interfered in Immigration Operation

The FBI arrested a county judge in Milwaukee on Friday, alleging that she obstructed federal authorities who were seeking to detain an [illegal aliens] by escorting the man and his defense attorney though a nonpublic jury door.

The arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan marks a significant escalation in the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration, in line with its rhetoric about going after local and state authorities on immigration-related matters. It also marks another step in the Trump administration’s battles with judges over federal policy.

In an appearance on Fox News on Friday, Attorney General Pam Bondi used the arrest to pull in the administration’s broader, repeated criticism of judges. “What’s happening to our judiciary is beyond me,” Bondi said, before using the term “deranged.”

Dugan faces charges of obstructing or impeding a proceeding before a department or agency of the United States, as well as a charge of concealing an individual to prevent his discovery and arrest.

A statement issued on Dugan’s behalf indicated she had hired former U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic to represent her in the case. “Judge Dugan will defend herself vigorously, and looks forward to being exonerated,” the statement said.

Woman Who Said She Survived Jeffrey Epstein Abuse Commits Suicide

Prominent Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre reportedly died by suicide at 41 years old on Friday, according to her family.

Before Epstein’s arrest and death in 2019, Giuffre became a leading voice against the billionaire, alleging she was recruited at age 16 by Epstein’s longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell to perform sexual acts. In a statement to NBC News, her family said she died in Neergabby, Australia, where she had lived for several years.

“It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia,” her family told the outlet. “She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.”

“Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She was the light that lifted so many survivors,” her family added. “In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight.”

On March 30, Giuffre posted on her Instagram account a picture of her bruised face, detailing how she had been involved in a car accident and was allegedly told by doctors that she only had days to live. (Read more from “Woman Who Said She Survived Jeffrey Epstein Abuse Commits Suicide” HERE)

Education Department Opens Investigation Into University With ‘Deep Involvements With Chinese Entities’

The Department of Education (ED) opened an investigation into the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) Friday over its reported ties to Chinese sources, the Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.

ED claims the university has failed to report “hundreds of millions of dollars” it received from foreign government over a span of several years, prompting the department to initiate a records request, the DCNF was told. The foreign funding sparks concerns the school has “deep involvements with Chinese entities” and may be sharing information about research and “important technologies.”

The Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 2023 found “grave research security concerns” with UC Berkeley due to the school’s partnership with the CCP-controlled Tsinghua University and the Shenzhen government.

Hegseth Orders Additional Guidance To Reenlist Troops Booted Over Biden’s ‘Unlawful’ Covid Shot Mandate

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signed a memorandum on Wednesday ordering additional guidance be provided to Pentagon officials to fast-track the reenlistment of troops forced out due to the service’s Biden-era Covid shot mandate.

“We’re doing everything we can, as quickly as we can, to reinstate those who were affected by that policy,” Hegseth said in a video message announcing the new directives.

The Wednesday memo directs the Pentagon’s under secretary for personnel and readiness “to provide additional guidance to the Military Department Review Boards concerning the review of requests from Service members and former Service members adversely impacted by the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.”

The goal of these new instructions, according to the directive, is to “facilitate, as appropriate, the removal of adverse actions based solely on refusal to take the COVID-19 vaccine (or requesting a medical or religious/administrative accommodation), discharge upgrades for individuals involuntarily separated solely for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine whose service was characterized as less than fully honorable, and appropriate remedies for Service members who suffered a wide variety of other career setbacks resulting from their principled refusal to take the COVID-19 vaccine.”

The “unfair, overbroad, and unnecessary” Covid jab mandate was announced by Biden Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in August 2021. While it was ultimately repealed following an act of Congress in early 2023, the damage was already done. More than 8,700 service members were effectively forced out of the military after forgoing the experimental shot.
