DALLAS, TX - Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien who was deported to his native El Salvador by the Trump administration, is being investigated by the Department of Justice (DOJ) after a convicted human smuggler told Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents that he hired Abrego Garcia to smuggle illegal aliens into the United States, a new report reveals.

As Breitbart News has chronicled, House and Senate Democrats are demanding that President Donald Trump fly Abrego Garcia back to the U.S. from El Salvador after he was deported alongside other suspected gang members under a deal with President Nayib Bukele.

Abrego Garcia has for years been accused of being an MS-13 gang member as well as beating his wife at his former residence in Maryland — to the point that she sought two orders of protection against him.

Last week, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released bodycam footage from a 2022 traffic stop by the Tennessee Highway Patrol where troopers can be seen pulling over Abrego Garcia, who was driving a vehicle that belonged to 38-year-old Jose Ramon Hernandez-Reyes.

MADISON, Wis. – A man in Wisconsin is accused of purposefully hitting a family with his vehicle while they were out on a walk, killing the mother and the family dog.

A criminal complaint released Monday alleges Jeffrey Endres, 49, sped up and crashed into the family in Cottage Grove, a suburb of Madison.

Dr. Kami Hansen, a well-known chiropractor in the community, died from her injuries after being taken to the hospital.

Hansen was a wife, mother of three boys, and owner of Heartland Family Chiropractic.

Deputy District Attorney William Brown said the deadly crash was an act of revenge following a “sensitive crime” that occurred between Hansen’s child and Endres’ child. Officials did not give further details about what happened between the children.

“It has come to light that this was not an accident. This was an intentional act by Mr. Endres,” Brown said in court. “This was, as the complaint shows, essentially an act of vigilante justice.” Click here to read more.

 

ALBANY, NY - Cellphone bans in schools are all the rage. Recently, New York became the fourth state to embark on one, as part of a budget deal for the coming school year. For many adults, the bans make intuitive sense: Who wants kids distracted on their phones while the teacher is teaching? Maybe getting rid of them could even reduce bullying or improve youth mental health? Phone Free New York founder Raj Goyle, while speaking of New York’s prospective ban, claimed, “If you look at the data in schools that have one ... test scores rise, bullying decreases, depression decreases.” But is that true?

Given acclamations from the schools that have implemented them, you’d think so. Orange County schools in Florida made headlines for being one of the first and most restrictive districts to implement a ban on cellphones. Florida passed a statewide ban in 2023, but Orange County, with Orlando as its seat, went further, banning phones for the entire school day, not just during classes. Click here to read more.

 

CHICAGO, IL -A University of Chicago professor canceled a midterm Thursday and called on his students to use the time to join an anti-Trump protest, an email obtained by the Washington Free Beacon shows.

Yali Amit, a statistics professor who has long opposed Israel, told his machine learning and large-scale data analysis class he was canceling the exam as "a small contribution" to the nationwide demonstrations being held that day to oppose President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. In an email to his students, Amit said he would post the exam as a homework assignment and included a link to a sign-up site for the Chicago-area protest, which called to "STOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER ."

"The country is in an emergency. The Trump administration is kidnapping people off the street, deporting them to foreign prisons, jailing and threatening to deport students who demonstrated in support of Palestinians," Amit wrote in his email. "So, today, thousands across the country are demonstrating in a national day of action. As a small contribution to this day of action I am cancelling the midterm and calling you, if you are able, to join the Chicago demonstration announced here" (emphasis in the original).

Federal authorities say they have saved more than 100 children in an operation that resulted in the capture of more than 200 sex offenders.

The Department of Justice announced Wednesday that the FBI arrested 205 child sex offenders throughout the country in Operation Restore Justice, part of a nationwide crackdown on child sex trafficking and abuse that the agency says “resulted in the rescue of 115 children.”

“The Department of Justice will never stop fighting to protect victims — especially child victims — and we will not rest until we hunt down, arrest, and prosecute every child predator who preys on the most vulnerable among us,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi as she announced the operation, which took place over the course of five days. “I am grateful to the FBI and their state and local partners for their incredible work in Operation Restore Justice and have directed my prosecutors not to negotiate.”

BREAKING: Charges Dropped Against Michigan Duck Rescue Founders After DNR Case Collapses

The legal battle between the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary has come to an end. with all charges dismissed against the couple who run the operation.

Matthew and Teresa Lyson, founders of the Salem Township sanctuary, had faced six criminal charges each after state officials accused them of keeping and caring for waterfowl without proper permits. This week, the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office dismissed the cases in their entirety, following months of public scrutiny and growing political pressure.

“This is great news,” Lyson told Keeping It Real. “All charges against me and Teresa are 100 percent gone. It’s a done deal, and we get to start new.”

Background of the Case

The Michigan Duck Rescue and Sanctuary has operated for nearly two decades, caring for injured or abandoned ducks, geese, and other waterfowl — many of which suffer from “angel wing,” a deformity often caused by people feeding them improper food. The Lysons say their work ...

School board bans clapping....seriously

ALPENA, Mich. — A new rule banning applause and other displays of emotion at Alpena Public Schools board meetings has sparked pushback from community members who say the policy infringes on their free speech rights.

The board recently adopted a policy prohibiting clapping, cheering, booing, or any demonstrations from audience members during meetings. Board President Eric Lawson said the restriction is meant to prevent disruptions and maintain order.

“We’re doing our best to show respect to you all and make sure you have adequate time for your comments,” Lawson said during a recent meeting. “Please show the board a little respect as well.”

Not everyone in attendance agreed. Several residents voiced frustration, including one woman who argued that clapping constitutes symbolic speech protected under the First Amendment.

“Clapping is a universal symbolic action that typically expresses approval,” she said. “Up until one week ago, clapping was a regular occurrence at these ...

Jocelyn Benson brags about stifling DOJ’s pursuit of election integrity

Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson made a special video to assure Michiganders she’ll never let anyone review her Qualified Voter File to ensure elections are as “secure and accurate” as she claims.

The video message centers on a request from the U.S. Department of Justice for information on Michigan’s bloated voter rolls and illegal votes cast in 2024, one of dozens of requests to states that align with President Donald Trump’s executive order “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.”

Benson is framing the July request, along with a DOJ lawsuit, as a “power grab” with nefarious intentions as she prepares to run her own campaign for governor in 2026, while preying on fears about government access to voters’ “sensitive personal data.”

“The United States Justice Department is trying to get me, Michigan’s chief election officer, to turn over your Social Security number, driver’s license number, and voting information,” Benson said in the video. “I told them they can’t have it.” Click here to read more.

 

‘Indoctrination’: MSU Forces Future Teachers To Take Class Rooted In Black Lives Matter

Students at Michigan State University hoping to become the educators of the next generation are forced to take a race-centered course that follows “the guiding principles of the Black Lives Matter” movement and requires students to read from a book condemning “whiteness.”

Course materials obtained by the young America’s Foundation group on MSU’s campus and shared with The Daily Wire show that one class for future teachers pushes leftist theories on race. The introductory three-credit class, “TE 101: Social Foundations of Justice and Equity in Education,” is required for all Secondary Education majors at MSU and is typically taken before their junior year. TE 101’s course description states that it emphasizes “racial justice, equity, and social identity markers.”

The syllabus for TE 101 states that the class is “committed to the Guiding Principles of the Black Lives Matter Movement, Learning for Justice’s Social Justice Standards, and the principles of the Abolitionist Teaching Network.” Click here to read more.

Nebraska’s cruel crackdown threatens vital care for adults with developmental disabilities

Injustice is lurking around the quiet corners of Lincoln, Nebraska. The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is threatening to strip away the proven and personalized care of adults with developmental disabilities, by dismantling the programs that gave them independence and hope.

For nearly two decades, Integrated Life Choices (ILC) has been a lifeline for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Founded in 2006 by Joshua Midgett and William Arrants, the organization was built upon one mission: To empower their clients to live independently and make a difference in their respective communities.

COO Justin Solomon explains ILC’s mission as “helping adults with developmental disabilities live in their community each and every day.” In practice, ILC operates facilities that are essentially group homes, where their adult clients live together with round-the-clock staff. Justin describes it as a sort of “adult foster care where someone with disability is living in a home with another person and they kind of share the life of that person and their family.” Click here to read more.

Court Rules that Minnesota Horse Teacher is Able to Continue Teaching in Important First Amendment Win

ARLINGTON, Va.—The United States District Court of Minnesota has granted victory to equine massage teacher Leda Mox of Becker, Minnesota in her case on whether teaching is protected under the First Amendment. The ruling follows a previous ruling where the court denied a motion to dismiss by the Commissioner of the Minnesota Office of Higher Education stating the “Commissioner has not provided (and could not appropriately provide at this stage) any evidence,” that the law requiring her to be licensed “advances at least important governmental interests and does not burden substantially more speech than is necessary.” Leda is represented by the Institute for Justice (IJ), a public interest law firm.

“This ruling is another victory for Leda, for teachers everywhere, and most importantly for the First Amendment,” said IJ Senior Attorney Jeffrey Redfern. “The right to free speech shall not be infringed. Teaching is speech, and is protected under the Constitution.” Click here to read more.

Whitmer whiffs at real auto jobs numbers, again

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer claimed that she’s secured 36,000 auto jobs through subsidies and private jobs announcements since 2019, but the data says otherwise.

In an Oct. 14 news release, Whitmer celebrated an announced investment from Big Three automaker Stellantis.

“Since I took office, we’ve worked across the aisle to win every possible auto project, securing more than 36,000 auto jobs. Thanks to partners like Stellantis and our massive network of auto suppliers, we will continue to dominate the auto industry and bring supply chains home even as we face national economic uncertainty. “We don’t care what you drive—gas, diesel, hybrid, or electric—as long as it’s made in Michigan. Together, let’s keep bringing manufacturing home, growing the middle class, and putting the world on wheels.” Click here to read more.

 

SNAP Beneficiaries Steal Groceries, Threaten Riots as Benefits Lapse

Left-wing TikTokers are shamelessly promoting rioting and stealing as the pause of food stamps, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), looms due to the government shutdown.

A man fuming over an apparent increase in loss prevention employees at Walmart took to social media to call on others to join him in holding down and fighting security to “help people steal.”

“It just became ‘Help People Steal’ November. It just became ‘Help People Live’ November,” the man ranted in a video. “People deserve to eat, I dont give a fuck about Walmart’s profit margins. I personally will hold back a security guard. I will fight back a security guard if they try to stop someone from stealing food they need to fucking live.” Click here to read more.

In Explosive Report, Virginia AG Exposes Failures of Soros-Funded Prosecutor

It’s no secret that billionaire George Soros has helped install rogue prosecutors in the Old Dominion, sending more than $1.1 million to elect Parisa Dehghani-Tafti in Arlington, more than $300,000 to Ramin Fatehi in Norfolk, and almost $750,000 to Steve Descano in Fairfax.

But a new report from Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares shows how one of those prosecutors has undermined Virginia’s justice system and failed to protect victims’ rights in Fairfax County.

In a devastating August 2025 investigative report, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares detailed several of the so-called “reforms” pushed by Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano. Click here to read more.

DeSantis directs H-1B visa crackdown, announces $33 million in DEI grants canceled or repurposed

TAMPA, Fla. – Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday directed the Florida Board of Governors to end the use of H-1B work visas in the state university system, saying that the visas are being abused to hire foreign workers for jobs that should go to qualified Americans.

The governor announced the policy change alongside the results of a state audit revealing the cancellation or repurposing of millions of dollars in diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI-related, grants across Florida’s public universities.

DeSantis said that Florida institutions would no longer be permitted to use the H-1B visa program to hire specialized foreign labor. He argued that the practice undermines American workers and graduates. Click here to read more.
