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.”

Michigan school bond approval rates fall

Voters in towns around Michigan are saying no to school bond initiatives at an increasing rate. That hasn’t stopped school districts from asking again — in one case, coming back with an even higher request.

Bridge Michigan analyzed bond data provided by Gongwer News Service in 2024.

About 75% of the 170 bonds put on ballots statewide were approved from 2018 to 2020.

That rate has dropped substantially after that. MIRS News reports that 45.5% of school bond questions passed in 2025 — a decline of 29.5 percentage points. Click here to read more.


 

Popular lake closes after dam release kills ‘approximately 100% of fish population’

PERIDOT, Ariz. (WKRC) - A popular lake closed after a dam release killed “approximately 100% of the fish population.”

San Carlos Lake has been closed to the public until further notice after a significant fish kill wiped out nearly the entire fish population, according to the San Carlose Recreation and WIldlife Department,

Department officials announced the closure in a public notice, citing health and safety concerns associated with decomposing fish in and around the lake.

Recent drought conditions, combined with water releases from the dam, resulted in a fish kill affecting approximately 100% of the lake’s fish population, the department said.

As a result, fishing, harvesting or possessing fish from the lake, and any recreational activities associated with fishing are prohibited until further notice. Click here to read more.

Court throws out conviction of man accused of secondary role in Gov. Whitmer kidnap plot

DETROIT — The Michigan Court of Appeals on Tuesday threw out the conviction of a man who was found guilty of a secondary role in a plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2020.

Joe Morrison was convicted of providing material support for an act of terrorism and other charges. In a 3-0 ruling, the appeals court reversed the results on technical grounds, saying kidnapping is not an underlying violent felony that can support a conviction under Michigan’s terrorism law.

Morrison, 32, has been in prison since 2022. He was given a minimum sentence of 10 years for three crimes, but the length was subsequently reduced to six years. Click here to read more.

 

New Jersey man charged with attempting to aid ISIS terrorists in U.S. attack plots

NEWARK, N.J. — A 22-year-old Wayne, New Jersey, man was charged Monday with attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), federal authorities announced.

Mohamed Sagha faces one count of attempting to provide material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Newark. He made his initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Leda D. Wettre and was ordered detained.

“As alleged, the defendant sought to support ISIS and expressed interest in violence directed at targets within the United States, including places of worship,” U.S. Attorney Robert Frazer said in a statement. “Those who seek to advance the objectives of foreign terrorist organizations should expect a swift and coordinated response from federal law enforcement.” Click here to read more.

 

Socialist Seattle Mayor Debuts Tiny Homes for Homeless, Says Sobriety Not Required

Socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson debuted 50 of 1000 planned tiny homes for homeless residents on Sunday, as the city works to manage its homelessness problem ahead of the World Cup.

Twenty-five more are expected to be completed by the end of the month. Wilson said homeless people will not be required to be sober or undergo addiction or recovery treatment to live there, KOMO reported.

“The process of recovery is really complicated and difficult, and so we’re not demanding that people be abstinent when they enter this village,” the 43-year-old mayor said: Wilson admitted that the city had failed to reach her goal of building 500 units ahead of the World Cup, which is beginning on Thursday.

Michigan school board opposes help for private and public school students

The Michigan Board of Education approved a resolution in May to oppose a federal tax credit that would help public and private school students with supplies, tutoring, tuition and special needs intervention.

The state board approved, by a 5-2 vote, a resolution citing a section of the Michigan Constitution prohibiting public money from being used for private schools.

The May 12 vote came five days after a bipartisan poll showed that 72% of Michigan voters support the credit. A separate, smaller poll said 61% of respondents think Michigan should opt out of the program. Click here to read more.


 

Nearly 9 in 10 kids use AI; report flags concerns over educational, emotional dependencies

A new report examining artificial intelligence usage among children and teenagers should serve as a “pretty big wake-up call” for parents, educators and policymakers, said Common Sense Media Founder and CEO Jim Steyer.

“AI’s takeover of childhood has happened in just three years, about twice as fast as social media took to take hold,” Steyer said.

AI is spreading like wildfire in digital products kids use in and out of school, and efforts to protect kids just aren’t keeping up with the risks, he said. Click here to read more.

Illegal Alien Who Tried to Flee U.S. Before Sentencing for Repeatedly Raping Middle-School Girl Is Found, Gets 100 Years in Prison

An illegal alien who tried to flee the United States before being sentenced for repeatedly raping a preteen girl over the course of three years has been found and sentenced to 100 years in prison.

Jorge Alberto Campos, a 42-year-old illegal alien, was handed a 100-year prison sentence for sexually abusing his girlfriend’s 11-year-old daughter at their residence in Castle Rock over the course of three years.

As Breitbart News reported, Campos was convicted of five counts of sexual assault of a child.

Campos, though, did not show up to hear the verdict and police found his ankle monitor, which was placed on him as part of his pre-trial release from jail, in a dumpster near his residence. Click here to read more.

 

New Jersey Republicans Find Hundreds of Noncitizens on Voter Rolls: ‘It’s Really Eye-Opening’

Republican leaders in New Jersey have reportedly found hundreds of noncitizens listed on voter rolls, and some of them had a voting record.

The New Jersey Republican Party (NJGOP) and the Republican National Committee (RNC) uncovered the information when they asked for the voter rolls from all 21 counties, Fox News reported Monday.

Those individuals were reportedly seeking naturalization and wanted their names removed. Many of them were registered as Democrats but claimed they did not know they had been registered and were concerned it might disqualify them from becoming citizens.

The news came after New Jersey GOP Chairwoman Christine Giordano Hanlon said in May the state party was launching an Election Integrity Task Force, the New Jersey Globe reported at the time. Click here to read more.

Critics say anti-violence program pays criminals

Rep. Emily Dievendorf, D-Lansing, requested $2 million in taxpayer funding for a nonprofit program that has drawn criticism in other states for reportedly working with violent offenders while not cooperating with police investigations.

The earmark request, submitted on behalf of Ingham County, would fund the Advance Peace program in the Lansing area through 2028.

The program aims to reduce shootings by intervening with individuals considered most likely to commit gun violence, according to the legislatively directed spending request. Click here to read more.


 

Violent Crime Drops as More Americans Pack Heat

Alessandra Coote was walking on a trail with her 2-year-old daughter and dog two-and-a-half years ago when a man began yelling at her and threatened to kill her dog. When the petite single mom made it back to her Utah home, she decided she needed a firearm for protection.

A few months later, while living in what she described as a “shady part of town,” a homeless man threatened her. After that encounter, she began regularly carrying a firearm under Utah’s Constitutional Carry law.

Coote, who just graduated this spring from the University of Utah, says carrying the gun has given her the confidence to feel safe in public. “It’s been life-changing,” she told RealClearInvestigations. Although she has never had to draw or fire the weapon, she has faced a threatening individual when she was armed, but stopped the attack by merely letting the man know she was carrying.

Memo reveals Florida’s plan to pursue organizers of social media-fueled ‘teen takeovers’

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida’s Office of Statewide Prosecution is seeking assistance from law enforcement agencies across the state as prosecutors prepare a coordinated effort to investigate and potentially charge organizers behind a series of social media-fueled “teen takeover” events, according to a memorandum obtained by Florida’s Voice.

In a memo sent to Florida law enforcement agencies, Statewide Prosecutor Bradley McVay said the state has experienced a recent wave of unlawful gatherings organized through social media that have resulted in violence, arrests and public safety concerns in multiple regions of Florida.

American journalist pleads guilty to acting as unregistered agent for China

An American who worked as an editor and commentator for state-run media in China, Thomas Pauken II, pleaded guilty Thursday to working as an unregistered agent for the Chinese government in the U.S.

During a roughly 40-minute hearing in Alexandria, Virginia, Pauken, 51, told U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema he was unaware of the legal requirement to register before acting for a foreign government, but he also said he understood that his lack of knowledge was not a defense to the charge.

The hearing shed no light on one of the mysteries of Pauken’s case: the identity of a Trump administration official Pauken helped connect to a Chinese government contact Pauken knew as “Cathy.” That U.S. official, described as “Person 1” in court filings, was still working in the government as of February, according to an affidavit an FBI agent filed in support of the criminal case.

Economic frustrations fuel concerns for Republicans in midterms

Warning signs are flashing for Republicans ahead of the November midterms as Americans are growing more pessimistic about the economy and placing blame of President Donald Trump.

American consumers have grown increasingly agitated about the state of the economy with inflation running high every year since COVID even as jobs have been plentiful and growth has been mostly steady. The recent spike in gas prices tied to the war with Iran has put that frustration into overdrive and many voters say they blame Trump and his policies for making life more expensive.

Trump has argued the goal of preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon is worth the cost of higher oil prices and has at times dismissed concerns about the cost of gasoline and the impact they will have on the midterms. He came into office promising to make life more affordable for Americans after years of struggles with inflation during the Biden administration and has had a hard time convincing voters of progress.
