Judge May Release Thousands of Illegal Aliens Arrested by ICE in Chicago

A Biden-appointed federal judge in Chicago says he is considering forcing immigration officers to release thousands of the illegal migrants that Immigration and Customs Enforcement have arrested during its “Operation Midway Blitz.”

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Cummings claims he intends to provide “equitable relief” by ordering the Department of Homeland Security to release any criminal already on ankle monitors or other court-ordered monitoring programs, WLS-TV reported.

Pro-migrant activists claim that ICE and DHS are violating a so-called “Consent Decree” that limits how agents can make warrantless arrests of criminal illegal migrants.

The decree was signed in 2022 when President Joe Biden’s deputies agreed to accept curbs drafted by the ACLU. Judges allow consent decrees to bind future administrations. Click here to read more.

 

Lawmakers divided after federal complaint targets student mental health screening law

Illinois lawmakers are responding after America First Legal (AFL) filed a federal complaint urging the U.S. Department of Education to investigate Illinois’ new law requiring annual student mental health screenings without parental consent, a move the group calls a “clear violation of federal law.”

State Rep. Regan Deering, R-Decatur, who voted against the bill, said she’s not surprised by the legal challenge.

“As a mom, I’m concerned about the growing number of mandates coming out of Springfield that are removing parents from decisions about our own children,” Deering said. “Whether the issue has been curriculum or, in this case, mental health screenings, parents deserve to know what’s happening and to give their consent, not an opt-out.” Click here to read more.

 

Tariff Stimulus Checks Are an Unserious Idea

President Donald Trump’s proposal to deliver huge stimulus checks to many American households is the latest bit of fiscal fantasy to emerge from the White House.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump promised checks of $2,000 to low- and middle-income Americans, supposedly to be funded out of tariff revenue. It’s not the first time Trump has floated the idea of a “tariff dividend,” but the latest announcement comes as the administration grasps wildly for a solution to Americans’ perfceived affordibility issues.

After delivering the checks, the remaining tariff revenue would be used to pay down the national debt, Trump wrote in a post on Monday.

All of this is quite unserious. Let’s do the math. Click here to read more.

An immigration “expert” who testified in support of anti-ICE legislation promoted by Senate Democrats insisted Thursday it’s not a crime to enter the country illegally, though the lie didn’t go unchecked.

“Being undocumented in this country is not a crime, it’s a civic infraction,” Yvonne Navarrete, policy director at We the People Michigan, told the Senate Civil Rights, Judiciary, and Public Safety Committee on Thursday. “That is not my personal opinion, that is the law.” Click here to read more.

Transgender Activists Use Far-Left Smear Factory to Cancel Doctor Education Courses That Raise Doubts About ‘Gender-Affirming Care’

Doctors must take continuing medical education courses to maintain their licenses, and transgender activists took objection to one of these courses, leading a nationwide institution to effectively cancel it.

Washington State University had spent nearly a year reviewing—and then approving—a course explaining the side effects of experimental transgender medical interventions on children and Europe’s growing rejection of “gender-affirming care.” Yet activists cried foul, citing the Southern Poverty Law Center, a pro-transgender activist group best known for demonizing conservatives.

LOS ANGELES (KCAL/KCBS) - It’s difficult to make out exactly what the naked man was saying in the surveillance video, but it’s clear to see what happens next.

He picks up what looks like street signs while screaming, then suddenly runs across Tujunga Avenue in Los Angeles.

“He just was walking up and down the sidewalk. Then he saw the gate was open and ran over there in their gate,” one witness described.

Neighbors say they heard screaming, which turned into gunfire. Click here to read more.

 

Michigan budget deal: two steps forward, one step back

Michigan lawmakers don’t have to agree on much each year, other than how to spend all the money that the state collects from its taxes. Partisans needed to compromise with each other to do this, since Republicans hold a majority in the House and there is a Democratic governor with a Democratic majority Senate. Both sides were going to have to give up something and get something in order to pass a budget. What they came up with has a number of positive features.

Lawmakers will likely get to the point where roads are fixed faster than they fall apart, and they mostly got there without raising taxes. They substituted the sales tax levied on fuel, which largely goes to schools, for a per-gallon tax on fuel, which goes to transportation purposes. Click here to read more.
