The Department of Homeland Security said Monday that it has launched an immigration enforcement operation here as part of the Trump administration’s effort to target “sanctuary cities,” and immigrant advocates said several people in heavily Hispanic communities have been detained. The agency did not provide details of the scale or duration of the undertaking in Chicago, which will be led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

September 9, 2025 — Today's Conservative Cartoon

Editor’s note: The following commentary is an excerpt from remarks presented before the Presidential Religious Liberty Commission on Sept. 8, 2025, with minor edits made for readability. * * * I never expected that pursuing my dream to help hurting children would lead to a legal battle for our most basic freedoms. I graduated from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville with a master’s degree in Art Therapy and Counseling in May 2022. I chose this path because God gave me a passion to fight for and preserve the innocence of children, especially those who’ve experienced deep complex trauma. Through art therapy, I’ve witnessed how expressive means can calm both body and mind and provide a mode of communication when words feel painful and impossible. But while I was studying how to help others heal, I found myself betrayed by the very institution that was supposed to equip me for that mission. My program was small — just 10 students—and we became very close. We would talk about being in each other’s weddings and supported each other like family. But about a year in, something shifted. I came to Southern Illinois University thinking I was there to become a counselor. But I soon realized the university expected me to adopt and promote a specific ideology — one rooted in Marxism and critical race theory, even when it conflicted with my religious and professional beliefs. When called on in class, I shared my perspective respectfully, asking whether these ideas served the best interests of our future clients. Instead of respectful dialogue, my Christian and conservative beliefs were met with hostility — not only from classmates but even professors. But I didn’t expect what came next. The university issued three no-contact orders against me. You might wonder what a no-contact order is. I did, too. It’s essentially a restraining order, and it applied on and off campus. It meant I couldn’t talk to, sit near, or even be in the same coffee shop with the three classmates who had filed the complaints. I was shocked. I asked what I’d done. The university said I hadn’t violated any policy. But without any communication or investigation, I received a threat of “disciplinary consequences” if I violated the no-contact orders. And they even copied a university police officer on each order to drive this threat home. After this, I stopped speaking in class. I was isolated and scared — like I was in a relationship with abusers — trapped in a system that punished me for having different beliefs. I thought back through every conversation I’d had with my classmates. I couldn’t think of anything I’d done that could be taken as offensive, let alone aggressive. I became afraid. And with fear came a sense of powerlessness. I started having trouble sleeping. I lost my appetite. And I began to worry what might happen if my professors — who clearly disapproved of my views — decided to block me from graduating or finding a job. I reached out to Alliance Defending Freedom, and they sent a demand letter to the university. Five days later, the university rescinded the no-contact orders. Two weeks later, it finally told me what the accusations were. Three classmates had complained about some social media posts where I’d expressed my Christian and conservative views on current events. They claimed the mere expression of my views were “microaggression[s].” One student said I was “threatening” because I couldn’t embrace critical race theory, which I had said failed to treat people with dignity regardless of race. She told the school I was threatening even though in the same conversation I had praised her for having a “beautiful heart” with a deep “compassion for children.” Sadly, even after the no-contact orders were lifted, the attacks continued. University officials refused to tell students that I hadn’t broken any policies. Instead, they e-mailed faculty, students, and alumni, implying that I had engaged in “oppressive acts” and “misconduct.” The university held a “community meeting” where students publicly attacked my faith and accused me of being racist, oppressive, and creating a toxic learning environment. Fellow students maligned my name in a school newspaper. But one of the most painful moments came when a classmate and former friend created an art display titled The Crushing Weight of Microaggressions. It featured a personal text I’d sent her where I shared that, even if we might disagree on some things, I cared about her and that “[M]y personal beliefs are grounded in objective truth by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” I was heartbroken to see my words so misunderstood. I loved my classmates, including this girl. To this day, I wish we could have shared our diverse beliefs with mutual respect and kindness. But that was sadly not my experience. I wasn’t punished for harming anyone; I was punished for having a different perspective, being a Christian, and asking honest questions. At a public university, which is supposed to be a marketplace of ideas, I was silenced for sharing mine. I knew I couldn’t just walk away. I live by Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s quote: “Silence in the face of evil is evil. God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak, and not to act is to act.” I could not be silent knowing that what happened to me could happen to future students. Our freedoms are too precious not to defend. So I filed a lawsuit. After the university tried — and failed — to dismiss my case, it agreed to settle. It changed its policies to ensure all students, regardless of political or religious beliefs, are welcome. And it revised how no-contact orders are used so that they can’t be weaponized to punish simple differences of opinion. But what weighs on my heart to this day: I should never have had to sue. Public universities have a duty to protect open dialogue, not punish it. They should welcome differences, not erase them. And no student should be shamed or silenced for their faith. Looking back, I can see how what was meant to break me — God used to shape me. Through the fear and betrayal, He gave me the courage to speak, even when my voice shook. He taught me to love even those who misunderstood or maligned me. I’m so grateful to President Donald Trump and the Religious Liberty Commission for their bold work to protect our First Amendment freedoms — freedoms that belong to all of us regardless of faith, race, or creed. The truth is: Freedom is fragile. Silence is costly. But courage is contagious. * * * Maggie DeJong obtained her master’s degree in Art Therapy and Counseling from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.

Every professional has bad days, but for those in high-pressure positions, decades of experience usually prevent them from losing their cool. However, sometimes the circumstances are so intense that even a highly trained expert just loses it.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) is running out of anti-Trump material, as she can’t seem to stop regurgitating the old Democrat talking points. She told California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom on “This is Gavin Newsom” that D.C. is now “very dystopian.”“It’s funny because I used to watch ‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’ and I can’t, right? I never finished, and I can’t watch it because it is too close to reality. And so, what we’re seeing is this militarization, and obviously it started in your state. That was kind of the testing grounds,” Crockett said.“Going to your state, going to a black woman mayor’s city first, and now we are in yet another black woman-led city and taking over. And to me it goes, again, to the level of racism and hate that is constantly spewed out of this administration,” she added.“What a stunning choice,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere tells Blaze media co-founder Glenn Beck on “The Glenn Beck Program.” “That’s like M. Night Shyamalan. I would never expect her to go to a racial claim,” he comments.“Would you consider potentially putting together a fundraiser for the Democrats to come up with another literary reference than ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’? Like, is it possible we could get them a different book just so they could say that title of it?” he asks.“Now,” he continues, “I know Jasmine Crockett, of course, is so stupid, she couldn’t even act like she read the book. She only said she was watching the Hulu show. But still, can we get them some reference other than ‘The Handmaid’s Tale?’”“They’re already doing it,” Glenn warns, noting that the Democrats have realized an error in their language.“The DNC has now blacklisted terms that they don’t want any of their people using. Now, tell me what these terms have in common — blacklisted terms: privilege, violence (as in environmental violence), dialoguing, triggering, othering, microaggression, holding space, body-shaming, subverting norms, systems of oppression, cultural appropriation, the Overton Window, existential threat to the climate, existential threat to democracy, existential threat to the economy, radical transparency, stakeholders, the unhoused, food insecurity, housing insecurity, people who immigrated, birthing person, cisgender, deadnaming, heteronormative, patriarchy, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, allyship, incarcerated people, and involuntary confinement,” Glenn reads.“Those are the words that the Democrats are now telling their people, ‘Don’t use any of these words.’ Those are the words that they forced everybody to use. So they are reading from a new book,” he says, adding, “They’re just burning their own book.”Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
