The New York Times wants the ICE agents who are involved in shootings to be prosecuted. They made that obvious with an article about a 1987 law review article that they think could seal the deal. The article was written by a law professor named Akhil Reed Amar. It is considered influential and has been […] The post The Pro-Open Borders NY Times Suggests a Way to Sue ICE Agents appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Author Michael Wolff responded to President Donald Trump’s threat of a lawsuit by essentially daring him to go through with it — and then he claimed that he would be the one to come out on top if such a lawsuit were actually filed. Wolff explained in an Instagram video that he would love nothing more than to be able to subpoena both the President and first lady Melania Trump — and that he’d have standing to do so if either of them ever filed suit against him.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Michael Wolff (@michaelwolffnyc) “I woke up this morning and found that last night, Donald Trump had threatened to sue me again. I think this is the third or possibly fourth time the president of the United States has threatened to sue,” Wolff began, referencing Trump’s most recent threat — made aboard Air Force One — to sue him for “conspiring” with the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Wolff admitted to pressing Epstein for information, claiming that he’d done so in order to convince the disgraced financier to give up any information he had on Trump: “Yes, I tried to encourage Jeffrey Epstein in any way I knew how to come forward with what he knew about Donald Trump.” The author went on to note that he had already filed suit against first lady Melania Trump — after she’d threatened legal action against him for claiming that she had traveled in the same circles as Epstein — and said that if the president made good on his threat, he would be able to subpoena both Trumps. “This lawsuit gives me the power to subpoena Mrs. Trump, Mr. Trump, and all their friends … Bring it on!” he said. “I believe that if the American public knew the real nature of Donald Trump’s long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, they would turn away in horror and revulsion. So sue me. Let’s sue each other.” “I have nothing to hide, but Mr. President, you surely do,” Wolff declared. Wolff said that Melania Trump threatened legal action months earlier after he authored an article for The Daily Beast claiming that Epstein had been the one to introduce her to the president. Hunter Biden later repeated that claim in an interview, prompting Trump’s litigation counsel Alejandro Brito to fire off a letter to former President Joe Biden’s son as well. “Following receipt of our cease-and-desist demand letter just a week ago, The Daily Beast issued an apology to Mrs. Trump and retracted the false and defamatory statements contained in the Article by deleting it in its entirety,” Brito wrote, describing Wolff as a “serial fabulist” and adding, “Despite this, you have unjustifiably relied upon Mr. Wolff’s false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements about Mrs. Trump and maliciously elected to republish them.”

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell promised reporters that Super Bowl halftime performer Bad Bunny would refrain from spouting divisive rhetoric during the big game on Sunday. Goodell responded to questions about potential political statements from the singer, saying, “I think Bad Bunny, and I think that was demonstrated last night [at the Grammys], is one of the great artists in the world, and that’s one of the reasons we chose him.” “But the other reason is he understood the platform he was on and that this platform is used to unite people and to be able to bring people together with their creativity, with their talents, and to be able to use this moment to do that,” he continued, per Deadline. “I think artists in the past have done that. I think Bad Bunny understands that, and I think he’ll have a great performance.” The NFL commissioner’s statements come as rumors circulate that the Puerto Rican singer, whose real name is Benito Ocasio, is planning to wear a dress to the event. Ocasio has been outspoken in his political views so far and didn’t mince words during his Grammys acceptance speech. “Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say: ICE out,” the singer said from the stage during the awards ceremony Sunday night. “We are not savage. We are not animals. We are not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans,” he added. Ocasio previously referred to ICE agents as “motherf*ckers” and “sons of b*tches” in a video he posted to Instagram. The three-time Grammy Award-winner said during an interview that he didn’t book any tour stops in the United States because he was worried ICE agents would target concert attendees. “There was the issue of — like, f***ing ICE could be outside. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about,” he said. Goodell previously defended choosing Bad Bunny as the halftime performer at Super Bowl LX after significant backlash following the announcement last fall. “It’s carefully thought through,” Goodell said of the performance. “I’m not sure we’ve ever selected an artist where we didn’t have some blowback or criticism. It’s pretty hard to do when you have literally hundreds of millions of people that are watching.” Turning Point USA announced it would host an alternative event to rival the Super Bowl halftime show, as many Americans questioned the selection of Bad Bunny as the headliner. The lineup for “The All-American Halftime Show” was announced Monday. Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett will take the stage in a show TPUSA says will celebrate faith, family, and freedom, as The Daily Wire previously reported. “We’re approaching this show like David and Goliath,” Kid Rock said in a statement, per Fox News. “Competing with the pro football machine and a global pop superstar is almost impossible, or is it? He said he’s having a dance party, wearing a dress, and singing in Spanish? Cool. We plan to play great songs for folks who love America.”

The House of Representatives is currently debating the government spending package that could end the partial government shutdown if approved. President Donald Trump is expected to sign five appropriations bills along with a continuing resolution to fund the Department of Homeland Security for the next 10 days, as lawmakers negotiate potential restrictions on federal immigration enforcement. Before the House Rules Committee meeting on Monday to advance the package in the chamber, Trump said on X that he did not want any changes to the Senate package. That package was approved on Friday as part of a deal between the White House and Senate Democrats. The fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis escalated tensions surrounding immigration operations by the Trump administration. Democrats threatened a shutdown if DHS funding was not split from the rest of the spending package in the Senate, even though the House had already approved it before the shooting death on a bipartisan basis. However, because the House was out of session, most government operations closed starting on Saturday. A handful of Republicans wanted the SAVE Act, a House-approved bill requiring documentary proof of citizenship to vote, tacked onto the package to force a Senate vote. Claims circulated that Senate leaders had agreed to bring the SAVE Act to a floor vote by scrapping the filibuster in order to win over House GOP holdouts and end the shutdown. But Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) quickly poured cold water on those reports. “We’ve got some members, as you know, who expressed an interest in that, so we’re going to have a conversation about it, but there weren’t any commitments made,” Thune said Tuesday, according to Fox News. The dispute ruffled feathers during a procedural vote, including from Rep. John Rose (R-TN), who accused the Senate leader of “already backtracking on what he reportedly told some House Republicans: that if we reopened the government, he’d keep his word and bring the SAVE Act to the floor.” “House Republicans MUST hold the line and refuse to fold on something as fundamental as election integrity. The SAVE Act belongs on must-pass legislation,” Rose, who’s running for governor of Tennessee, continued. The procedural vote narrowly passed 217-215 along party lines, with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) voting against the legislation and Rose eventually changing his “no” vote to “yes.” Funding DHS through September is shaping up to be a bruising fight, as Republicans demand tougher action against sanctuary cities while Democrats seek serious restrictions on ICE and CBP. “Next week and the week after will be intense. The two sides are pretty far apart,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) told Punchbowl News on Tuesday. “If we’re going to be discussing all this and ICE operations, and part of that equation is how sanctuary cities have not been participating. In fact, they’ve been thwarting the efforts of ICE, and I think that has to be part of the discussion,” he further told the outlet.
