HOUSTON, Texas — ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers repatriated a 58-year-old Mexican national who is accused of raping a child in his home country. The illegal alien from Mexico had illegally entered the U.S. on four occasions.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO) transported Nestor Flores Encarnacion from the Montgomery Processing Center in Conroe, Texas, to the Juarez-Lincoln Bridge in Laredo, Texas. ERO officers walked the man who illegally entered the United States four times across the bridge to Mexico. The officers transferred custody of the prisoner to Mexican authorities.

“This foreign fugitive brazenly entered the U.S. in violation of our nation’s laws on four separate occasions to evade prosecution in Mexico for allegedly raping a child,” said ERO Houston Field Office Director Bret A. Bradford. “Dangerous foreign fugitives and criminal aliens who are accused of, or have committed, heinous crimes like sexually assaulting a child will find no safe haven in Southeast Texas.” Click here to read more.

It wasn’t long ago when the political left insisted the only thing that mattered was the growing wealth gap between the haves and the have-nots. As leftists are fond of claiming, the class war is the “dialectic” that spawns political and social change.

There isn’t much talk of class warfare now that the likes of Bernie Sanders have been relegated to has-beens. Instead, the focus is now on promoting people of color and women.

Ohio State’s Dean of Arts and Humanities, Dana Renga, recently gave approval for a faculty search committee shaped by unfair DEI policy. Emails obtained through records requests reveal the search was shaped by discrimination against those of the white race.

“We decided as a committee that diversity was just as important as perceived merit as we made our selections.” – Statement from Ohio State internal committee report. Click here to read more.

 

Washtenaw County’s progressive, DEI-endorsing sheriff has joined the list of elected officials who say they won’t cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s mass deportation efforts.

President Donald Trump’s administration began ICE raids this week in several cities, holding true to a campaign promise to close the southern border and round up criminal illegal aliens.

But Washtenaw County Sheriff Alyshia Dyer maintains her department will not assist ICE officials, despite U.S. Department of Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller’s warning that local officials could face arrest if they try to delay or interfere with ICE’s deportation operations.

“The law is clear that harboring an illegal alien, smuggling an illegal alien, obstructing law enforcement, obstructing an official proceeding and a conspiracy to violate the rights of Americans, all of these and many more are criminal statutes,” the Homeland Security advisor told FOX News host Jesse Watters earlier this week.

INDIAN LAKE, N.Y. — A moose was rescued after falling through broken ice into the waters of Lake Abanakee in Hamilton County, New York , officials said.

Forest rangers and police officers from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation teamed to save the moose, which was about 100 yards from shore. Officials responded to the scene when a bystander reported seeing the moose fall into the frigid water on Jan. 16 .

“It was good that we knew when the moose went in and we knew that time wasn’t on our side, but we knew it wasn’t going to take forever for us to do what we had to do,” Forest Ranger Evan Nahor said.

DEC officials used a chainsaw to cut through the ice path towards shore, allowing the moose to free itself. The ice thickness varied from one to four inches, “so it made cutting it with a chainsaw pretty quick,” Forest Ranger Matt Savarie said.

 

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (Gray News) - A man in Florida was arrested for allegedly making ‘violent’ threats against President Trump.

According to West Palm Beach Police, the FBI received a tip from a man who said 46-year-old Shannon Depararro Atkins made violent posts on social media against the president.

Police confirmed that on Jan. 20, an investigation into the claims began, which led to arrest of Atkins on Jan. 24, WPLG reported.

According to the police department, two posts were made on Facebook.

One post was a re-post of a message that read, “Jan 20th is the Day of Mourning for USA.” Atkins captioned his re-post, “Bullets please. Please Jesus! Save America.”

Another post read, “I’ve been banned from ‘X’, because I said I hope and pray someone kills him. History is supposed to repeat itself. We haven’t had an assassination in years.”

According to police, Atkins allegedly admitted to writing the posts.

He was arrested and charged with written or electronic threats to kill, do bodily injury, or conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism and possession of cocaine.

Michigan school, streets might change names after New York Times report on Cesar E. Chavez

The names of some Michigan streets and a school might change after a recent New York Times story alleged that Cesar E. Chavez abused young girls.

Five streets and a school in Michigan are named after the American labor union and political activist who co-founded United Farm Workers in 1962. Chavez died in 1993, but a March 18 news article named two women and alluded to several others who have come forward to allege he sexually abused them.

The city of Lansing is having conversations about renaming its street in Old Town, Scott Bean, director of communications and senior advisor to Lansing Mayor Andy Schor, told Michigan Capitol Confidential in an email that outlined Lansing’s street-naming policy. Click here to read more.


 

14-year-old girl with ‘lengthy’ criminal history strikes police vehicle in stolen vehicle

BALTIMORE — A stolen car slammed into a Baltimore police patrol vehicle during a chase in West Baltimore around 1 a.m. on April Fool’s Day, then crashed again at a dead end as officers tried to stop it.

Audio from the scene captured an officer describing the initial impact: “That vehicle did sideswipe the front of my vehicle when I saw it.”

Police said the stolen car didn’t get far before ending at a dead end and hitting the patrol vehicle again. One suspect got away, with an officer reporting, “The passenger ran on foot going northbound on Ashburton.” Click here to read more.

Michigan Attorney General calls for action as Consumers Energy seeks another rate increase

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is continuing to question Michigan’s energy companies, as Consumers Energy, one of the largest utilities in the state, seeks yet another increase to its electrical rates.

The Department of Attorney General released a statement on Monday, reaffirming Nessel’s commitment to intervening in all major rate cases before state energy regulators, slamming Consumers Energy for filing a new rate case within seven days of the Michigan Public Service Commission approving its last increase.

“The rate hike just approved by the MPSC hasn’t even taken effect yet, and Consumers Energy is already gearing up to reach back into the pockets of Michigan families,” Nessel said. “Ratepayers don’t have a choice in who they buy their energy from, yet our utility companies still choose to make these relentless and unsustainable rate hike demands year after year. Announcing plans to file what we expect to be a new multi-hundred-million-dollar request just seven days after securing a nearly $280 million hike proves how truly broken this system has become.” Click here to read more.

 

Services Demand Surges to Three-Year High Despite Rising Energy Costs

New orders for services rose to their highest level in more than three years in March, the Institute for Supply Management reported Monday, as strong demand across the economy proved resilient to the spike in energy prices driven by the U.S.-Israel military campaign against Iran.

The ISM index for the services sector registered 54 percent, down from 56.1 percent in February but still comfortably in expansion territory for the 21st consecutive month. The slight pullback in the headline number masked what was arguably the most important signal in the report: the barometer of new order surged to its highest reading since February 2023.

Mom accused of faking 3-year-old’s illnesses, leading to unnecessary medical treatments

GLEN ROSE, Texas - A Texas mother accused of child medical abuse is facing multiple charges.

In an 18-page arrest affidavit, Tarrant County investigators said 31-year-old Kaitlyn Laura subjected her 3-year-old son to severe and ongoing medical abuse.

Detectives said for months, Laura claimed her son had serious conditions, such as stomach issues, trouble walking and even cerebral palsy.

For years, he was fed through a tube and kept in a wheelchair, but doctors never diagnosed any of it.

Investigators said, at one point, the child was on 17 different medications, eating less than 1,000 calories a day and consuming dog food. Click here to read more.

UM ‘researcher’ from China jumps to his death on campus after questioning by feds

A Chinese University of Michigan “researcher” jumped to his death from a building on campus last month after he was questioned by federal officials, sparking demands for an investigation by the Chinese government.

Neither the University of Michigan nor the U.S. government have released any details on the death.

“We are reaching out to share the sad news of the death of an assistant research scientist employed in the lab of Zetian Mi, who fell from an upper story of the GG Brown building last night,” read a March 20 internal email from UM’s Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department cited by both World Socialist Web Site and Eye on Digital Chain.

Ten days later, the Chinese Consulate General in Chicago confirmed the incident followed “questioning by US law enforcement personnel.” Click here to read more.


 

Number of public-school employees reaches 18-year high

Michigan K-12 public schools have more employees now than at any point in the last 18 years, according to the state’s Center for Educational Performance and Information. The number of students decreased by more than 180,000 over that period. The spike in headcount was largely a byproduct of a hiring spree during Gov. Whitmer’s COVID-era lockdowns.

Public schools employed 381,571 people in the 2024-25 school year, according to MI School Data, operated by the state of Michigan. By comparison, Michigan public schools had 338,216 employees in the 2007-08 year, the earliest year for which online records are available. The extra 33,355 employees represents an increase of nearly 10%.

Public schools shed more than 180,000 students during that same time, but taxpayers got no relief from the reduced workload as the state hired up during its reaction to COVID-19. Click here to read more.

Yes, other states are building much more housing than Michigan

Even the biggest opponents of a bill to make zoning less burdensome agree that local zoning rules prevent the housing people want from getting built. In response to a bill to preempt local governments rules that prohibit most types of housing to be built, local government advocates introduced their own legislation to subsidize local governments that loosen building rules.

The interest group also says that there is no problem to be solved with bills to let people build more housing. They argue that Michigan already builds more than other states. The state “has permitted more new housing every year, while Florida, Texas, and the U.S. as a whole have permitted less,” its spokesman argues. Click here to read more.

 

Student suspended for pro-ICE flyer while NEA spends $1.7M to help anti-ICE protests

WASHINGTON — A student at Torrey Pines High School in San Diego was suspended after posting a pro-Immigration and Customs Enforcement flyer reading, “We [heart] ICE – Real Americans,” following an anti-ICE walkout on campus, according to the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.

Student-led anti-ICE walkouts have continued to rise nationwide. In 2026 alone, more than 300 such walkouts and protests have taken place. Various organizations have led training programs within K–12 schools, and the National Education Association has provided $1.7 million in funding to a May Day 2026 training toolkit that includes anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement messaging, according to an investigation by Defending Education.

A “Four Weeks of Power” training series is organized and led by Free the Future, the Alliance to Reclaim Our Schools, New York University’s Steinhardt Metro Center and the Midwest Academy. Click here to read more.

 

The California Exodus Grows as Affordability Crisis Pushes Residents Out

The California Exodus is quickening, and it turns out the people leaving don’t have to wander too long to find a new promised land.

That’s the takeaway from several recent reports showing that the population decline in California is becoming extreme, but that the people who choose to leave the state are finding life much better—certainly more affordable—elsewhere.

Census data published in late March highlighted a dramatic population drop in Los Angeles County from 2024 to 2025.

“The region recorded the largest population drop of any in the nation between July 2024 and July 2025, according to newly released estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau,” the New York Post reported. “The data, published March 26, shows roughly 54,000 residents left the county during that one-year period. The losses mark a continuation of a steady slide for the nation’s most populous county.” Click here to read more.
