Jocelyn Benson refuses to give info about illegal 2024 voters — so a Washtenaw County resident is suing
Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson admitted numerous illegal ballots were cast in the 2024 election, but her Bureau of Elections refuses to come clean with taxpayers on the details.
“We are the citizens, and we have a right to know the details supporting Secretary Benson’s public statement that only 15 noncitizens voted,” Washtenaw County resident Judi Bennett told the Michigan Fair Elections Institute.
Bennett filed a public information request in April for information on noncitizen voting in 2024, but her request was rejected in less than 24 hours. She’s now pursuing the information through the court system.
Bennett’s Freedom of Information Act request was spawned by Benson’s acknowledgement days earlier that her department identified 15 noncitizens who voted in 2024 through a cross-reference between voting and driver’s license data. Click here to read more.
Hormones on the House? Trans Illegal Immigrant’s Attorney Thinks Michigan Taxpayers Should Foot the Bill
What started as a simple traffic stop on I-94 turned into a full-blown immigration saga when Romulus police contacted Border Patrol after pulling over “Alexa,” a trans immigrant from Honduras living in Ypsilanti without legal status.
Instead of paying a fine for speeding, the trans illegal immigrant posing as a woman but born as a biological man, found himself in federal custody. He was first held under the glaring lights of a Border Patrol cell, then shipped to county jails, including in Ohio, where his attorney alleges mistreatment and discrimination.
According to a report from the Detroit Free Pres, Alexa’s attorney, Ruby Robinson of the Michigan Immigrant Rights Center, insists her client was denied “appropriate gender-affirming care,” specifically hormone treatments, while in custody. The attorney further alleges that her client was groped and assaulted after being denied housing with female detainees, forced to sleep under constant lighting, deprived of regular shower access or a blanket, and denied timely access to an interpreter in Ohio, despite Spanish being his only language.

Trump Admin Isn’t Going to Let Companies ‘Memory Hole’ DEI Violations
Companies won’t get away with sweeping past discrimination against employees under the rug, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission acting Chair Andrea Lucas told the Daily Caller News Foundation in an interview.
Lucas sat down with the Daily Caller News Foundation to discuss ongoing efforts to defend religious liberty, push back against diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, and protect women’s spaces in the workplace.
“A lot of companies want to just sort of ‘memory hole’ what happened from 2020 to 2024,” Lucas told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“You don’t get to do that,” she said. “There’s a cost to your bad behavior. And we’re going to exact that cost, one way or the other, because we’re going to remedy victims who were harmed.” Click here to read more.

Illinois lowers standards making more students seem “proficient”
Most Illinois students are struggling to read or do math at grade level on their end of year state assessments. The State Board of Education’s solution? Lower the standards.
The board of education approved a plan to lower the scores needed to be considered proficient in reading and math on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness. It also determined the scores needed to be considered proficient in reading and math for 11th graders as the state moves from the SAT to ACT as the state-required assessment for high school students.
The most recent state data available shows only 41% of students in third through eighth grade could read at grade level in 2024 and just 31% in 11th grade. In math, 28% of third through eighth graders were proficient and 26% of 11th graders
New proficiency rates will be implemented on the 2025 Illinois Report card released in October, leaving Illinois. Click here to read more.
