Liberal Judge Thurston barred Border Patrol agents in California’s Eastern District from doing their job. She says agents now need a warrant or “real evidence”. More special protection for illegals, brought to you by Democrats. Looks like Border Patrol is being forced to bow before another Almighty Judge. Only this time, I have a feeling Border Patrol will push back. Rogue judges keep exposing themselves, so you gotta be grateful for that. US District Judge Jennifer Thurston orders Border Patrol not to arrest suspected illegal immigrants unless they have a warrant This is not how the law works -of course Arrests are made on the spot on the basis of probable cause Even less at the border pic.twitter.com/eBw3fSxtzQ — Phil Holloway (@PhilHollowayEsq) April 30, 2025 Local NBC News reports: A federal judge in California has barred Border Patrol agents from arresting someone suspected of living in the U.S. illegally unless they have a warrant or a reason to believe the person might flee before a warrant can be obtained. Tuesday’s ruling from U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston also says Border Patrol agents can’t stop people without having reasonable suspicion or return them to their countries of origin via “voluntary departure” unless that person is informed of their rights and agrees to leave. The ruling only applies to people within the court’s Eastern District of California, Thurston said, where dozens of people were swept up in January after the Border Patrol launched an immigration enforcement action dubbed “Operation Return to Sender.” The American Civil Liberties Union sued Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and U.S. Border Patrol officials on behalf of the labor union United Farm Workers and people who were targeted during the Border Patrol raids. The ACLU said border patrol agents spent nearly a week unconstitutionally detaining people who “appeared to be farmworkers or day laborers, regardless of their actual immigration status or individual circumstances.” The detainees were bussed to the border, held without any way to contact family or attorneys, and coerced into signing papers that said they had waived their right to see an immigration judge and voluntarily agreed to leave the country, the ACLU said. And the media keeps trying to persuaded the masses that a warrant is required for illegals. You know damn well that ICE doesn’t need a warrant when they have an illegal immigrant that has deportation orders. This is exactly why Trump calls all you guys fake news cuz you are! — Steve McRae A-Holy Pope of Agnosticism (@SteveMcRae_) April 25, 2025 SHOCKING: Judge Jennifer Thurston BANS Border Patrol from arresting illegal immigrants in CA without warrants! This woke activist ruling DEFIES federal law & CRIPPLES our agents’ duty to secure the border. Sovereignty is UNDER ATTACK! pic.twitter.com/DvgUrO9H3E — Don Keith (@RealDonKeith) April 30, 2025

Border Czar Tom Homan just hinted that arrests are coming soon for leaders of so-called ‘sanctuary cities’ that harbor illegal aliens. Today, Homan as asked by Jordan Conradson of The Gateway Pundit about President Trump’s recent executive order to defund sanctuary cities. Conradson asked Homan why he doesn’t just arrest all the leaders? His response was simple: “Wait until you see what’s coming.” Conradson then asked a more specific question about Wisconsin’s Governor telling state agencies not to comply with ICE. Homan replied again: “Wait until you see what’s coming. I meant what I said.” Watch for yourself here: JUST IN: Tom Homan was asked “why not just arrest [sanctuary city] leaders who are harboring and shielding illegals from deportation?” HOMAN: “Wait until you see what’s coming!” LFG! PERP WALK ‘EM! pic.twitter.com/pazInDmfWh — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) May 1, 2025 Full clip via Rumble: For those who prefer to read, here’s a partial transcript: Conradson: The President signed an executive order just this week threatening to defund sanctuary cities. Why not just arrest the leaders who are harboring and shielding illegal aliens, actually terrorists, from deportation? Homan: Wait until you see what’s coming. Conradson: Your comment on the Wisconsin Governor sending directives to state agencies to not comply with ICE and actually stop your deportation efforts? Homan: Wait until you see what’s coming. I meant what I said. You can not support what we’re doing, and you can support sanctuary cities if that’s what you want to do. But if you cross that line of impidement or knowingly harboring and concealing illegal aliens, that is a felony, and we will treat it as such. What an exciting teaser. Arrest them all, Mr. Homan! Wait until you see what’s coming! This is so awesome!

Vice President JD Vance rightfully slammed the Biden administration for offshoring production. He said political leaders forgot the core of American identity by relying on foreign powers for essential goods. Well, I don’t think forget is the right word. More like, they willfully attacked the core of American identity. Vance said Nucor Steel Berkeley and its peers have struggled under four years of crushing environmental regulations. He delivered the rebuke Thursday at the Nucor facility. JD Vance says that the largest steel producer in America, Nucor Steel, stopped work in its West Virginia plant for years because of Biden’s Green New Deal regulations. 101 days later, U.S. manufacturing is being brought back.pic.twitter.com/ZhWM9fr9L0 — ALX (@alx) May 1, 2025 Daily Caller reports: Vice President JD Vance on Thursday slammed former President Joe Biden’s administration during a speech at Nucor Steel Berkeley for deciding that products would be made overseas instead of in the United States. Vance said that over the last few decades, political leaders forgot about the “core part of American national identity” by allowing the U.S. to rely on foreign powers for essential goods. The vice president said manufacturing facilities like Nucor immensely struggled over the last four years due to the Biden administration’s “crushing environmental regulations.” “For a couple decades, though, our leaders forgot about that core part of American national identity. They decided that America would no longer be a manufacturing power,” Vance said. “Instead, we let the rest of the world make the necessary things that we needed for our homes and for our families. And when a nation decides to deindustrialize my friends, you know what else they stop using? The intermediate goods, the things that are essential to manufacturing, like steel that you all make right here in Nucor. So we stopped making the things that we needed.” Nucor Steel’s leadership told Vance that the company’s facility in West Virginia that “sat idle” under the Biden administration due to its environmental rules. The vice president said that these types of regulations cost hard working Americans their good paying manufacturing jobs and wages. “So when our leadership decides that Americans don’t want to make anything, you know what we do? We cost great businesses and corporations like Nuccor a lot of money, we cost great workers their wages and we cost a lot of people their jobs. And that was the policy of the last administration that came before us.” JD Vance is at Nucor Steel today ringing in the new American manufacturing renaissance. Trump is rebuilding what the globalists gave away — with American steel, American workers, and America First leadership. Let the sparks fly.

Democrat Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota cursed a reporter who asked the lawmaker if the democrat party should be deporting members of MS-13. Reporter Myles Morrel of The Daily Caller asked Rep. Omar, “Do you think more of your Democratic colleagues should be traveling to El Salvador to advocate on behalf of Abrego Gracia?” Omar responded, “I think you should f*ck off.” She repeated again, “You should f*ck off.” Watch here: INSANE: Rep. Ilhan Omar tells Daily Caller News Foundation reporter @MylesMorell to “f*** off” pic.twitter.com/cZdn6BmgWj — Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) May 1, 2025 Check out what The Washington Times reported: Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, the Democrats’ leading figure in the far-left Squad, used a four-letter word to shoo off a reporter who asked whether her party should be visiting a deported illegal immigrant who’s an accused member of the brutal gang MS-13. “I think you should f—- off,” Ms. Omar replied as she strolled past the reporter. The reporter, Myles Morrel of the Daily Caller News Foundation, filmed his Thursday exchange with Ms. Omar, and the footage went viral on social media. He had asked the lawmaker if Democrats “should be traveling to El Salvador to advocate on behalf of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.” Mr. Abrego Garcia was deported to a prison in his home country of El Salvador in March. Democrats have rallied around his case as an example of Mr. Trump’s aggressive efforts to oust migrants. Four House Democrats and one Senate Democrat, Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, have traveled to El Salvador to visit Mr. Abrego Garcia, portraying him as an innocent father and husband swept up in the Trump administration’s lawless deportations. Ilhan Omar just told a Daily Caller video reporter to “f**k off” when he attempted to ask her a simple question about Kilmer Abrego Garcia. This woman has no class, no gratitude to America, and no honor. Truly a disgrace to the US Congress. pic.twitter.com/5sanRI1Oum — Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) May 1, 2025 Per The New York Post: “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar told a Daily Caller reporter to “f–k off” Thursday outside the US Capitol after he asked her a basic question about Democrats traveling to El Salvador to show support for deported alleged MS-13 member Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Myles Morrell identified himself as a journalist and asked Omar (D-Minn.): “Do you think more of your Democratic colleagues should be traveling to El Salvador to advocate on behalf of [Kilmar] Abrego Gracia?” “I think you should f–k off,” Omar shot back. “You should f–k off,” the Democrat repeated when a shocked Morrell asked what she was saying.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was quick to attack President Donald Trump’s supposed 100-day approval rate. He said the polls this week show Americans fear Trump’s economic handling will walk us into a recession. As Phil Hartman once said on NewsRadio: “I doubt that sir. But I would die for your constitutional right to make outrageous claims.” Moments later, the tables turned. A reporter pointed out Schumer’s own approval is lower than Trump’s, and is stuck at 17 percent. It’s the lowest among congressional leaders. Suddenly polls don’t count as he quickly replied said “Polls come and go”. Talk about trying to gaslight the people and talking out of the corner of both sides of his mouth. Schumer “ Trumps polling the lowest rating in 80 years of polls“ Reporter “your approval rating Senator is at an all time low of 17% do you feel you are hurting your party?” Schumer “Polls don’t matter” Cannot make this real life comedyGold up pic.twitter.com/pvdHyzL05i — Alison (@justhenews2025) May 1, 2025 The Post Millennial reports: During the same presser, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said that “polls come and go” just minutes after pointing out that an approval poll of President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office turned out badly. “The polls this week show Trump has the lowest 100-day approval rating since they started polling 80 years ago. The lowest. Even worse, 72 percent of Americans think it’s likely that Trump’s handling of the economy will walk us directly into a recession,” Schumer told reporters. A few minutes later, a reporter asked him, “There’s a poll out today that has your approval rating lower than any other Congressional leader at 17 percent. Are you concerned that you may be a liability for your party?” Schumer cut off the reporter and declared, “Polls come and go. Our party is united. We’re on our front foot. We’re stepping forward, going after Trump and having real success.” Chuck Schumer says President Trump has the “lowest 100-day approval rating since they started polling.” A few minutes later when asked about his bad poll numbers… “Polls come and go.” pic.twitter.com/scHlgaRrat — The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) May 1, 2025 Who still trusts this person?

'You're right, Laura'

PBS doesn't allow a debate about funding for PBS on the airwaves of PBS. Instead, you only get the pro-PBS side. On Tuesday's News Hour, co-host Amna Nawaz tossed softballs at PBS CEO Paula Kerger about how wonderful they are and how defunding them is an existential threat for some PBS stations. Their overwhelming bias was not challenged.  What is your sense of the effort to rescind those funds? Is it a done deal at this point?... I know you're meeting with lawmakers, speaking to them to make the case. What is the argument you're laying out to them and what are you hearing in response?... We should note there's been Republicans who have long sought to cut funding for public media. So is there something different about this effort this time around? On the last question there, Kerger claimed PBS has always had "bipartisan support," and "for many of our stations...this would be an existential crisis," something that couldn't be fixed if Democrats restored the funding when they regained power.   This is the closest Nawaz came to liberal bias, but she pitched it as conservatives don't like certain issues -- and NOT how those issues are tremendously tilted: There's also a couple of arguments we have heard from the administration as they look to cut those funds. They argue that, by covering issues like race in America and gender issues, that public media is broadly engaging in what they call cultural indoctrination. They also cite, among other things, the former NPR editor Uri Berliner's accusations that he said his network pushed progressive viewpoints. That was at NPR, which is not PBS, to be clear. But do you worry about that? And what's your response to that accusation? Like a politician, Kerger claimed "I think we work very hard, and I'm proud of this broadcast of its focus on bringing the most important stories forward." And then she said news was just 10 percent of what PBS does -- the objectionable 10 percent! -- and pivoted as usual to kiddie shows like Sesame Street and the defunct Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, that PBS is somehow crucial to pre-kindergarten education: "We're parents' first partners. We're deeply involved in providing content for classrooms." Nawaz finished with a polling question, that a Pew poll found 43 percent favor continued funding, 24 percent favor defunding, and 33 percent are unsure. "So that means about 57 percent of Americans are either not sure or don't want to see federal funds continue for public media. What does that say to you?" Kerger referred to internal PBS polling, claiming bizarrely that 65 percent of Trump voters love PBS. Wouldn't it be something to see those polling questions, and who they sampled?
