There were shots fired at the correspondent’s dinner. President Trump and Melania were rushed off the stage. No one was hurt, people ducked, and it appears to be canceled. Secret Service has someone in custody. Everyone on the dais was taken off. If shots were fired, they were fired outside the ballroom. They sounded like gunshots, and reports say one gunman was neutralized. The people in the room helped make President Trump a target.

President Trump responded to tonight’s shooting in two posts on Truth Social and will give a press conference shortly. “Law Enforcement has requested that we leave the premises, consistent with protocol, which we will do, immediately. I will be giving a press conference in 30 minutes from the White House Press Briefing Room. The First Lady, plus the Vice President, and all Cabinet members, are in perfect condition. We will be speaking to you in a half an hour. I have spoken with all the representatives in charge of the event, and we will be rescheduling within 30 days. President DONALD J. TRUMP” “Quite an evening in D.C. Secret Service and Law Enforcement did a fantastic job. They acted quickly and bravely. The shooter has been apprehended, and I have recommended that we “LET THE SHOW GO ON” but, will entirely be guided by Law Enforcement. They will make a decision shortly. Regardless of that decision, the evening will be much different than planned, and we’ll just, plain, have to do it again. President DONALD J. TRUMP” It took no time at all for the bots and fringe to get online and say the shooting was staged. This is insane.

Homeland Security Chief Markwayne Mullin will have much to deal with this summer. The aliens are already on the move, planning to create chaos at the border. The goal is to hurt Republicans in the midterms. This isn’t organic, and the usual suspects are the leftist organizations in the United States, Democrats, the United Nations, and other foreign enemies The illegal aliens are letting us know that they plan to meet up with more illegal aliens and hopefully grow the caravan to about 5,000 people. The countries represented in this caravan: “Haiti, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Salvador, along with other African countries.” This was Tapachula earlier tonight. One future illegal is traveling with “Caravan De David.” They are coming from hellholes. The caravan includes many Haitians. BREAKING: Videos now coming in from late last night earlier this morning, another batch of illegal aliens have now departed from Tapachula. Folks someone is orchestrating all of this. This is not organic. Just in time for the midterms. They’re bringing the chaos to the borders… pic.twitter.com/4NojWrMtPC — Anthony Aguero Live (@AnthonyAguero) April 25, 2026 The Activist Judges  A federal appeals court on Friday blocked President Trump’s directive suspending access to asylum and other legal protections for migrants unlawfully crossing the southern border. A divided panel of three judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that federal immigration law does not allow the president to deport migrants under new summary removal proceedings implemented by the Trump administration or to suspend their right to apply for asylum. Judge J. Michelle Childs authored the decision for the two-judge majority. She was joined by Judge Cornelia Pillard. Judge Justin Walker concurred in part but dissented from the court’s conclusion on the legality of Mr. Trump’s directive to effectively close the asylum system at the U.S.-Mexico border. “We conclude that the [Immigration and Nationality Act’s] text, structure, and history make clear that in supplying power to suspend entry by Presidential proclamation, Congress did not intend to grant the executive the expansive removal authority it asserts,” Childs, a Biden appointee, wrote for the majority. We don’t have judges. These are anti-American activists. The caravans are again filled with fighting-age men. Update: caravan currently now advancing toward Acacoyagua, Mexico. Slowly trickling upwards. Shortly after they get through this area comes the busses, car rides car hikes and trains. @BorderWarsUSA pic.twitter.com/DV6SVFCscG — Anthony Aguero Live (@AnthonyAguero) April 24, 2026 Texas DPS Traffic Stop Leads to Human Smuggling Arrest 4/19/26 – In Starr Co., a @TxDPS Trooper stopped a Chevy pickup for a traffic violation.

Mamdani’s First Veto Mamdani, who is so far doing everything wrong, used his first veto in office to kill a measure aimed at protecting students and faculty at places of education from anti-Semitism by dangerous radicals. They are very dangerous and frightening. He’s giving them the okay, and they know it. He is doing exactly what he said he’d do. According to Fox News, the City Council passed bills to guarantee student security at educational institutions, particularly Jewish students, by a 30-19 vote in March. Mamdani vetoed the bill because, in part, it might infringe upon “Palestinian rights.” These so-called Palestinians are Hamas supporters and communists. “The bill, Int. 175-B requires New York law enforcement to develop a plan to contain the risk of physical obstruction, physical injury, intimidation, and interference at educational facilities while still allowing for freedom of assembly and First Amendment events. The plan would then apply to ‘any building, structure, or place where educational programming takes place,’” Fox reported Friday. Mamdani gave a transparently dishonest excuse in a statement. “The problem is how widely this bill defines an educational institution and the constitutional concerns it raises regarding New Yorkers’ fundamental right to protest,” Mamdani said. “As the bill is written, everywhere from universities to museums to teaching hospitals could face restrictions. “This could impact workers protesting ICE, or college students demanding their school divest from fossil fuels or demonstrating in support of Palestinian rights,” he continued. “Int. 175-B is not a narrow public safety measure; it is a piece of legislation that has alarmed much of the labor movement, reproductive rights groups, and immigration advocates, among others, across this City. Nearly a dozen unions have raised the alarm about its impact on their ability to organize.” All the bill calls for is to require the police commissioner to protect the students and faculty from intimidation and violence. Even the NY Times Warns Mamdani’s Tax Could Backfire Go. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani smugly decided to tax pieds-a-terre. The New York Times called it an elegant move, taxing the rich who don’t live in the city or vote for it, but added that it might backfire. It’s odd hearing that truth from the far-left New York Times. They probably mean to warn him, but he is beyond help. For proof, they say, just look at London. A slew of punishing new taxes has transformed London’s luxury housing market over the last decade. The taxes have pushed down housing values and driven international buyers, who have historically accounted for nearly half of homeowners in prime London neighborhoods, to consider other markets. The once-sizzling housing market in central London is now chilled. Property prices in London have fallen by more than 20 percent since 2015. As taxes mounted, interest rates increased, and prices dipped, smaller landlords threw in the towel, taking tens of thousands of apartments off the market and constricting supply. As a result, average monthly rents are now at record highs. A similar blowback could be the consequence of Ms. Hochul’s proposal that Mr. Mamdani has gleefully promoted, the economists and real estate agents warn. After Mamdani doxed Citadel CEO Kevin Griffin and brought a camera crew to his home, bragging about taxing him, Mr. Griffin began questioning the wisdom of building his $6 billion project in New York City. That is a reasonable concern given that Mamdani is a communist. This guy can’t collapse fast enough.   The post Mamdani Stops Added Protections from Radical Hamas-Supporters appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Flashback from the Sentinel: Democratic Socialist Venezuela Banned Civilian Guns While They Have Armed Death Squads April 23, 2017 Democratic Socialists like Bernie Sanders, Sean Penn, and Michael Moore want you to believe that their socialism will somehow be different from that of Venezuela. It won’t be. The inevitable arc from parasite to victim of plunderers and gangsters is inevitable. One lesson we must get from the crisis in Venezuela is never give up your gun rights. In Venezuela, a democratic socialist hellhole, every civilian has been disarmed, but they can get their guns back if they serve in the Maduro goon squad. The armed militia of about 400,000 pro-Maduro civilians is actually hard-left community organizers who are running around brutalizing and robbing Venezuelans who are now disarmed. Goon squads rule Venezuela “A gun for every militiaman!” Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro said to uniformed militia members outside the presidential palace, Fox News reported on Tuesday. The Bolivarian militias, created by Maduro’s predecessor, Hugo Chavez, already number in the hundreds of thousands and are being used to supplement the regime’s armed forces. Maduro is using them as death squads. Only the military, police, and groups like security companies can buy guns and only directly from one state-run arms company under the law passed in 2012, according to the BBC. The country recently doubled down on its gun ban through a combination of gun buybacks and confiscations in the summer of 2016. “We are going to bring disarmament and peace,” Interior Minister Nestor Reverol told Reuters during one confiscation event. Their idea of peace is to subjugate the people. It’s a lot easier now that they are disarmed. Free Beacon has more on the story. The post We Must Never Allow This!
