The Department of Homeland Security has provided the names and criminal histories of the illegal aliens who were arrested during an operation on New York City's infamous Canal Street black market.Federal agents swept through the area on Tuesday, as it is not uncommon for street sellers to be in the United States illegally. The operation turned chaotic after bystanders formed a mob to chase agents away, demanding they not target illegal aliens.On Wednesday, DHS said the illegal aliens arrested have "violent rap sheets" that include allegations of robbery, burglary, domestic violence, assaulting law enforcement, counterfeiting, drug trafficking, drug possession, and forgery. Each of the men arrested is from Africa, and at least five of them were released into the United States by the Biden-Harris administration.RELATED: Illegal alien shot after allegedly ramming car into federal vehicle was once honored by Democrat — (@) Mamadou Ndoye, "a criminal illegal alien from Mali, issued a final order of removal by an immigration judge in 2008, was previously arrested for crimes including assault, recklessly endangering, counterfeiting third degree, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, criminal sale of narcotics, possessing a controlled substance, possession of marijuana for sale, making false reports to law enforcement, and resisting arrest."Muhammad Ndiaye, "a criminal illegal alien from Senegal, with previous arrests for domestic violence, robbery, receiving stolen property, burglary, fraudulent accosting, forgery, counterfeiting, sale of a controlled substance, obstruction, and disorderly conduct.

House Democrats' second in command provided a jaw-dropping justification for the suffering inflicted on American families during the government shutdown, and the White House is having none of it. As the government shutdown approaches its fourth week, Americans are bracing themselves to miss paychecks and key government benefits like SNAP. House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) admitted that the Democrat-induced government shutdown has been painful for families across the country but justified it because "it is one of the few leverage times [Democrats] have."'At some point, the Democrats are going to have to take yes for an answer.'"I mean, shutdowns are terrible," Clark said in a recent interview. "Of course, there are going to be families that are going to suffer. We take that responsibility very seriously."RELATED: Democrat senator blocks vote to end shutdown to protest Trump's 'authoritarianism' in drawn-out rant Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty ImagesDemocrats are holding federal paychecks hostage and using government benefits as leverage to accomplish a policy agenda Americans rejected at the ballot box last November. Rather than voting for the Republicans' clean, nonpartisan funding bill, which notably keeps spending levels at the same rate Democrats voted for over a dozen times in the past, Democrats are set on ramming through their own policies.The White House quickly condemned Clark's comments, calling Democrats "sick" for using the American people as leverage. "Not only are Democrats refusing to reopen the government and knowingly inflicting pain on the American people, but now they’re bragging about using struggling American families as leverage for their radical left agenda," White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson told Blaze News. "These people are sick.” The Democrats' counter funding bill would cost taxpayers $1.5 trillion to effectively reverse every legislative accomplishment Republicans secured through President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Democrats are also demanding that Congress address Obamacare subsidies immediately despite the fact that they expire at the end of the year.RELATED: Trump administration mocks outrage of 'unhinged leftists' as construction of ballroom begins at White House Allison Robbert/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesAlthough Democrats have remained stubborn, their efforts are ultimately futile. Republicans hold a supermajority, meaning Democrats will never have the support to pass legislation on their own during this Congress. Even though Democrats are trying to force the GOP's hand, top Republicans have maintained that they are not responsible for the shutdown and that it's up to their colleagues across the aisle to do the right thing and reopen the government. "If the Democrats want to talk about subjects unrelated to ... getting the government open again, we’re happy to have those conversations," Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters Tuesday. "But we’ve repeatedly now gone through this, and at some point, the Democrats are going to have to take yes for an answer."Like Blaze News?

Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki got a brutal slap-down from the White House over comments she made about Usha Vance, the wife of the vice president.The MSNBC host was mocking the vice president during an interview on the "I've Had It" podcast when she implied that his wife needed to be rescued from their marriage.'A dumbass who has no comprehension of the truth and has to overcompensate for her lack of talent by saying untrue things.'"The little Manchurian candidate, JD Vance, wants to be president more than anything else," Psaki said of the vice president."I always wonder what's going on in the mind of his wife. Like, are you OK? Please blink four times. Come over here; we'll save you!" she added."Agreed! Yes!" replied one of the podcast hosts."And that he's willing to do anything to get there," Psaki continued. "... He’s scarier [than Trump] in certain ways, in some ways. And he's young and ambitious and agile in the sense that he is a chameleon who makes himself into whatever he thinks the audience wants to hear from him."White House director of communications Steven Cheung slammed Psaki in a post on social media that included a video of the podcast exchange."Jen Psuki [sic] must be transferring her own personal issues onto others. @jrpsaki is a dumbass who has no comprehension of the truth and has to overcompensate for her lack of talent by saying untrue things," he wrote."Circle back on that, moron," Cheung added.Psaki was mocked by many on the right for overusing the phrase "circle back" during media briefings to avoid answering difficult questions for the Biden administration.RELATED: Jen Psaki faces online mockery after she tries to blame greedy 'meat conglomerates' for rise in prices Many from the right criticized Psaki for ridiculing the Vance marriage on social media.Psaki and the liberal podcast hosts went on to opine that the vice president didn't have the "rizz" to carry the Trump movement on his own. Rizz is a slang term invented by the youths to refer to attractiveness or charisma.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

At a press conference on October 20, Democrat lawmakers announced their intention to create "a master ICE tracker" to track and document immigration enforcement operations by ICE, CBP, and other law enforcement entities. House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) said the tracker will be located on the Oversight Committee "website," though whether he meant the Democrats' site or the general site is unclear. 'This is a reckless assault on law enforcement that endangers ICE agents and compromises public safety.'At the press conference, Garcia lashed out against the Trump administration's ongoing immigration crackdown, accusing ICE of "misconduct" and "brutality." He claimed that ICE has been arresting American citizens "because they look like me, because they are of Latino origin." Speaking about the upcoming ICE tracker, Garcia said, "We are going to be tracking every single instance that we can verify, that the community will be able to send us information on." He said the tracker will launch "over the next couple of weeks."Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) joined Garcia in expressing outrage over the ongoing immigration crackdown: "What is happening to undocumented immigrants is also happening to U.S. citizens, which means that this can happen to anyone, to all of us, at any time."Garcia praised Bass for her commitment "to ensuring that every single moment of terror, of injustice that happens here in Los Angeles, and really across the country, is recorded."RELATED: Illegal alien shot after allegedly ramming car into federal vehicle was once honored by Democrat Photo by Octavio Jones/Getty ImagesGarcia, along with Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), wrote to the Department of Homeland Security to demand detailed information on the "disturbing and increasingly frequent reports of unconstitutional detentions of U.S. citizens." The letter went on to say that President Trump "has embraced the use of federal immigration agents to terrorize communities nationwide." According to CBS Los Angeles, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in a statement, "The Trump administration is fulfilling the president's promise to deport criminal illegal aliens, and any individuals who attempt to illegally interfere with operations or assault law enforcement officers will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law."In a statement to Blaze News, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the Oversight Committee chairman, said: "Oversight Committee Democrats are completely unhinged. ... They're doubling down with a so-called 'master' ICE tracker designed to target and undermine lawful immigration enforcement. Let's be clear: This is a reckless assault on law enforcement that endangers ICE agents and compromises public safety."Garcia's office had not responded to a request for comment at time of publication.Like Blaze News?
