Majority Support Trump’s Deportation of Non-Criminal Migrants

Two new polls show a solid majority supporting President Donald Trump’s policy of deporting economic migrants, including migrants not guilty of additional crimes.

Just one in four Americans strongly oppose the policy, which is helping to shift opportunities and wealth back to younger Americans and their families.

The New York Times poll asked 1313 registered people if they approve of Trump’s policy of “Deporting immigrants living in the United States illegally back to their home countries.”

Fifty-four percent approved, including 38 percent who strongly approve.

But just 24 percent — or one-in-four — strongly disapprove of the opportunity program. That bloc includes 25 percent of independents, one percent of Trump voters, and 43 percent of voters who backed Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024

The New York Times poll was conducted September 22-27. Click here to read more.

Chicago Teachers Union pays for audit, doesn’t let members see it

The Chicago Teachers Union’s annual reporting with the U.S. Department of Labor shows it has been paying accountants to conduct its audits.

But it hasn’t released those “annual” audits in over five years.

CTU is required by its own internal rules to provide an audit of its finances every year. But it hasn’t done so since Sept. 9, 2020.

The union reported to the U.S. Department of Labor that it did have an outside auditor conduct an audit in 2025 and that the cost totaled nearly $80,000.

A spokesperson for Roblox said in a statement to The National News Desk that the lawsuit is based on information that’s outdated and taken out of context. Click here to read more.

CTU’s internal rules are clear: an annual audit must be performed and published each year.

Specifically, the CTU financial secretary is required in union bylaws to “furnish an audited report of the Union which shall be printed in the Union’s publication.” Click here to read more.

5-year-old girl ‘unrecognizable’ after alleged beating by group of kids, mother says

CLEVELAND -An investigation is ongoing after an Ohio mother reported her 5-year-old daughter was beaten, assaulted and scalped. Police say the suspects are under the age of 10.

Antavia Kennibrew says she found her 5-year-old daughter beaten and abused. For her daughter’s safety, the mother is not sharing the girl’s name but describes her as bubbly and sweet.

“I literally saw the worst thing ever! I saw my daughter unrecognizable,” Kennibrew said. “I couldn’t wrap my head around it.”

The mother says she dropped her daughter off Sept. 13 at a family member’s home in Cleveland. Somehow, the 5-year-old walked out the front door and was allegedly badly beaten by a group of kids.

When Kennibrew found out, she rushed over and saw EMS treating her daughter several blocks over. Click here to read more.

 

‘This B**** Needs To Die’: New Jersey School Board Candidate Threatens Conservative Rival

MARLBORO TWP, NJ - A text scandal has hit a New Jersey school board race, culminating in two candidates running on a largely liberal platform dropping out of the race.

Conservative mother of three and Marlboro Township school board member Danielle Bellomo was revealed to be the target of school board candidate Scott Semaya, according to a snapped image of his phone. Semaya apparently texted about Bellomo’s “n*ps” being hard in a group text called “ThisB****NeedsToDie.”

“Bellomo must be cold — her nips could cut glass right n–” one message allegedly being typed by Semaya said.

Chad Hyett, the Marlboro school board vice president, was allegedly in the group chat, as well as the husband of a board member.

According to Bellomo, who spoke to the New York Post, those weren’t the only nasty messages shared about her. Some of the messages included “very specific actions that they want to do to me and what their intention is,” she said. Click here to read more.

 

Gun rights groups gear up to fight restrictions after appeals court clears open carry

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida gun rights advocates are mobilizing against what they describe as a stealth effort by Republican lawmakers to impose new restrictions on open carry, weeks after an appellate court ruling overturned the state’s decades-old ban on openly displaying firearms.

Executive Director of Florida Gun Rights Logan Edge told Florida’s Voice his organization is “going full steam ahead” to generate opposition during the pre-session committee weeks after hearing “rumblings” from legislators and state attorney offices about efforts to limit the court’s decision.

“It’s the Republicans [who are seeking restrictions],” Edge said, noting he was “not surprised in the slightest” given the legislature’s history of fighting open carry, including excluding it from the 2023 constitutional carry bill. Click here to read more.

Michigan pays out smaller portion of pothole damage claims

Michigan drivers who traverse state highways often incur vehicle damage from potholes. Many of Michigan’s roads tend to be riddled with potholes that blow out tires, crack windshields and break suspensions.

Some drivers seek state compensation, but only about 12% of those people received it last year, according to a document that Michigan Capitol Confidential obtained via a records request.

Michigan paid 10 out of 86 claims for pothole-related damages in 2025, totaling $4,844, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation.

Those 10 people who received compensation from the state claimed damages caused by potholes on I-75, I-96, US-12, M-77, M-89, Saginaw Street, Plymouth Road, and Fort Street. Click here to read more.


 

Trump Asks SCOTUS to Permit Voter Verification System Ahead of Midterms

On Tuesday, Solicitor General John Sauer wrote to SCOTUS asking the justices to stay an order from Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, appointed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by former President Joe Biden.

In June, Sooknanan issued an order preventing the government from using an updated Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program. The updates greatly streamlined the process for states to purge voter rolls of ineligible voters.

According to Sauer, Sooknanan’s order is “indefensible” and “threatens the integrity of upcoming elections by vacating the federal government’s authority to internally use Social Security data when fulfilling its duty to respond to requests by States to verify the citizenship of individuals for voting and other purposes.”

“The order will irreparably harm the federal government, the States, and the public by depriving the government of an effective tool to verify the eligibility of registered voters and benefits applicants under various state and federal programs,” Sauer writes to SCOTUS. Click here to read more.

NYC releases 170,000 pages of long-sought 9/11 health, air quality records

NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the release of more than 170,000 pages of records detailing the government’s response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the aftermath, including documents related to air quality and health concerns.

In a press release, the city said it also settled two lawsuits brought by 9/11 Health Watch, ending a years-long legal dispute over access to post-9/11 health and air-quality records.

The portal includes about 170,000 pages covering post-9/11 health concerns, air quality and the city’s response. Among the records are the Harding Memo, 68 boxes of documents discovered in 2025 and records related to World Trade Center 7. Click here to read more.

 

Florida blocks 10 CDL training schools after federal regulators remove them from registry

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida education officials are blocking 10 commercial driver training schools from recruiting new students or collecting tuition after federal regulators removed the providers from a national registry as part of a crackdown on commercial driver training.

The Florida Department of Education announced Tuesday that it is taking action against the 10 schools following their removal from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s Training Provider Registry.

Through the Commission for Independent Education, the state ordered affected licensed programs to immediately stop advertising, recruiting, enrolling new students and collecting tuition while their federal removal remains in effect.

The schools must also identify students who have been affected, provide refunds where required and report to the state on corrective actions and communications with federal regulators. Click here to read more.

SEIU Healthcare misleads about member numbers, spends little on the ones it has

Federal reports filed each year by SEIU Healthcare might concern its thousands of members across Illinois. The union is even misleading them about its membership.

The most recent report, filed with the U.S. Labor Department, shows that:

  • Thousands of workers represented by SEIU Healthcare have rejected union membership.

  • Less than 20% of SEIU Healthcare’s spending is on representing workers.

  • SEIU Healthcare spends millions on politics.

  • Dozens of SEIU Healthcare’s leaders and employees rake in over $100,000 a year — in stark contrast to the modest wages of its members.

  • SEIU Healthcare spent nearly $1 million on travel and food, for unknown reasons.

State and local government workers don’t have to be SEIU Healthcare members to keep their jobs. They can opt out of membership and stop paying dues without losing any benefits in their contracts. Click here to read more.


 

New study suggests some Lake Sturgeon could live more than 400 years in the Great Lakes

KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Imagine a single fish swimming in the Great Lakes today that was alive 400 years ago.

That’s around the time of the Pilgrims, even earlier than Michigan’s first permanent European settlers.

A new study on lake sturgeon life expectancy suggests it’s possible.

Lake sturgeon, sometimes called “living dinosaurs,” have been around since before the Great Lakes even formed. Now, researchers say these massive prehistoric fish may live far longer than previously thought.

For years, scientists estimated a lake sturgeon's age by sampling part of its fin. Under a microscope, they counted growth rings, similar to the rings on a tree. Click here to read more.

‘I Reject Your Guys’ Sympathy’: Father Of Girl Permanently Disabled By Illegal Alien Rips ‘Grandstanding’ Dems

The father of a girl who was permanently disabled in a truck driving accident by an illegal alien tore into “grandstanding” lawmakers Tuesday, blaming the Democrats’ sanctuary policies.

Marcus Coleman, the father of seven-year-old Dalilah Coleman, ripped congressional Democrats for enabling illegal aliens to stay in the country and permeate industries like trucking, causing accidents that have killed and permanently disabled Americans across the country.

Dalilah herself was just five years old when she was hit by an illegal migrant from India driving an 18-wheeler in June of 2024.

“I reject your guys’ sympathy, to be honest with you,” Coleman said during a House Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday. “There’s no way you guys are sorry. Not one of you guys have ever called me. Not one of you guys have ever reached out to me. Not when you guys have ever sat there and seen me in the hallways and said, ‘Hey, sorry about your daughter.’” Click here to read more.

 

What’s behind America’s cattle herd hitting a 75-year low?

America’s cattle herd has reached a new low, prompting questions about what led to the issue.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently announced the nation’s cattle herd is at its lowest point in 75 years. The agency said the U.S. entered this year with 86.2 million cattle and calves, down from 94.7 million seven years ago.

To help with the staggering decrease, officials introduced new measures designed to help ranchers retain breeding animals, recover from natural disasters, expand local meat processing and strengthen the agricultural supply chain. Click here to read more.

 

Trooper’s routine stop leads to rescue of abandoned puppy

A routine highway rest stop check turned into a rescue for an Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper.

Trooper John Kronander of the Medina Post was on patrol Aug. 23 in Guilford Township when he found a puppy abandoned in a crate at a rest stop off I-76 eastbound.

“He noticed a little cage off on the right-hand side that was kind of away from all the traffic,” Sgt. Jeremy Kindler told NewsNation local affiliate Fox 8 Cleveland. “There was no trucks around. When he noticed that, he saw like a cardboard box on top, and he saw some movement in it.”

When Kronander went over and lifted the cardboard box, he found the puppy locked in a crate with no food or water.

“We’ll get you out of here, okay?” said the trooper to the puppy on body camera footage released from the rescue. “Someone left you? It’s okay. How long have you been here?” Click here to read more.
