Nancy Pelosi Calls DACA Illegal Aliens ‘the Gold Standard of Immigrants’

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) says illegal aliens enrolled in former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) are “the gold standard of immigrants” in the United States.

This week marked 14 years since Obama created DACA via executive action. The quasi-amnesty program has allowed hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to avoid deportation solely because they were smuggled into the U.S. as children.

During an interview this week, Pelosi praised DACA illegal aliens and touted that House Democrats have repeatedly sought to give them amnesty, including a pathway to American citizenship.

“Freedoms for these DREAMers to be in the U.S. and be the gold standard of immigrants coming to our country,” Pelosi said. “They’re all about freedom. It’s one thing here. Yes, it’s bringing from our Constitution in many ways and our value system.”

Just last year, a DACA illegal alien was extradited to the U.S. to face charges that he murdered 22-year-old Lesly Palacio at his residence in August 2020 before getting his father to help him move the woman’s body into the bed of a truck.

Palacio’s remains were found two weeks later in the Valley of Fire State Park.

Also, last year, a DACA illegal alien was sentenced to federal prison for leading a straw purchasing ring for the Mexican drug cartels.

As Breitbart News previously reported, standards for DACA were set so low that tens of thousands of illegal aliens with prior arrest records for crimes including murder, rape, kidnapping, and sex abuse were able to secure deferred deportation status and work permits to stay in the U.S.

Federal records published in November 2019 by President Donald Trump’s administration reveal the scale to which illegal aliens with prior arrests were able to apply for and be granted DACA.

As of October 2019, the federal government had granted DACA to nearly 68,000 illegal aliens with prior arrest records, while fewer than 30,000 illegal aliens with prior arrests were denied DACA or had their DACA status terminated as a result.

More than 25,000 illegal aliens were granted DACA despite having been arrested for drunk driving, along with roughly 3,300 previously arrested for assault, nearly 1,500 previously arrested for burglary, almost 600 previously arrested for hit-and-run, 259 previously arrested for sex abuse or child rape, more than 170 previously arrested for kidnapping, 62 previously arrested for rape, more than 30 previously arrested for animal cruelty, 15 previously arrested for murder, five previously arrested for manslaughter, and two previously arrested for having child pornography.

Biden Judge Blocks Idaho Law Criminalizing Transgender Bathroom Use

A federal judge on Tuesday blocked Idaho’s law that criminalized transgender bathroom use.

US District Judge Amanda Brailsford, a Biden appointee, issued a preliminary injunction blocking Idaho’s H.B. 752, which banned transgender people from using restrooms that did not match their biological gender.

Idaho’s law, which was set to go into effect on July 1, threatened to jail transgender people for five years if they broke the law.

The ghouls at the ACLU celebrated the judge’s ruling.

“This ruling means trans folks in Idaho can continue participating in public life without the threat of being arrested for using the bathroom,” said Paul Carlos Southwick, ACLU of Idaho Legal Director. “Trans Idahoans have been understandably anxious about the disruption this unconstitutional law would cause in their daily lives. This ruling will relieve that anxiety for our trans friends and neighbors.”

“This decision provides significant protections for transgender people in Idaho from the efforts of state politicians to force them out of public life altogether,” said Barbara Schwabauer, senior staff attorney for the ACLU’s LGBTQ & HIV Project. “No one should be forced to choose between the threat of arrest for being themselves in public or the threat of harassment and violence for acting the way the state wants them to be. The preliminary injunction is a vital first step as we continue to challenge this gross violation of privacy and fundamental equality until the law is blocked for good.”

“Our Constitution provides critical protections against laws that are unclear and that call on officers to make arbitrary judgments about how to enforce them, especially when the law threatens imprisonment,” said Kell Olson, Counsel with Lambda Legal. “The court recognized that threat in providing relief to plaintiffs today. This ruling will allow transgender people throughout Idaho to find and use a public restroom, without the fear of arrest looming over them, while we continue the longer fight to permanently defeat this discriminatory law in court.”

Gun Shops File Lawsuit Against Colorado’s ‘Warrantless Searches’ and Gun Registry Requirements

A lawsuit brought by firearms dealers in Colorado is challenging a new law which implements “warrantless searches” and requires Federal Firearm License holders (FFLs) to maintain a gun registry.

The Courthouse News Service noted that the plaintiffs in the suit includes “the Centennial Gun Club, five firearms dealers and organizations.”

Defendants are Gov. Jared Polis (D), Attorney General Phil Weiser (D), and Colorado Department of Revenue executive director Heidi Humphreys.

The suit centers on HB26-1126, which Polis signed into law on June 2, 2026. The new law requires an FFL to also have a state firearms permit in order to transfer guns and broadens record-keeping requirements, so as to “apply to all retail transactions.” The record must contain “the name of the person that received the firearm and the recipient’s age and address.” This record-keeping becomes the registry and partial motivator for the current lawsuit.

Under HB26-1126, law enforcement can visit the FFL’s store and check the records and “the dealer shall make the records…available at all times for inspection by a duly authorized peace officer.”

The Courthouse News Service noted that “dealers who refuse to allow their records to be inspected can be charged with a class 2 misdemeanor.”

Moreover, in the lawsuit filed by the Centennial Gun Club and others, plaintiffs claim the searches violate privacy rights: “The Fourth Amendment broadly protects businesses from warrantless searches, including businesses engaged in commerce with customers who exercise no independent constitutional rights.”

Additionally, the lawsuit says: “The regime…injures plaintiffs’ customers, who face the prospect that their lawful firearms purchases will be surveilled without warrant protections, chilling the exercise of constitutionally protected rights.”

Sweden Approves ‘Good Behaviour’ Law, Will Kick Out Migrants Acting Improperly

Behave, or be gone.

Out of all the countries affected by the suicidal Globalist policies allowing for unchecked mass migration, former liberal paradise Sweden may have been the society that changed most drastically.

And now, there is an understanding that the avalanche of robbery, murder, and rape – as catastrophic as it is – is not the only problem assailing their culture.

The basic bad behavior of migrants and the unwillingness to assimilate are fraying the Swedish social fabric just as much.

So, yesterday (15), the Swedish parliament approved a law allowing authorities to revoke immigrants’ residency permits based on bad behavior.

This can mean ‘having unpaid debts, doing undeclared work, or ‌links to extremist organizations.’

Reuters reported:

“The law, which covers pending permits but also retroactively already granted permits, is part of a wider tightening of immigration ​rules by the right-wing government and its support party, ​the nationalist Sweden Democrats, ahead of a parliamentary election ⁠in September.

The law has been criticized by the opposition and ​human rights advocacy groups as arbitrary because decisions would be taken ​on behavior that has not been deemed criminal.

‘The good behavior law leaves people in uncertainty about what actions or expressions can be used against ​them’, Stockholm-based group Civil Rights Defenders said in a statement. It ​undermines the rule of law and the principle of equality before the ‌law.”

Nigerian Court Orders Decertification of Five Opposition Parties Before Election

A Nigerian high court judge on Monday ordered the national election commission to decertify five opposition political parties, including the leading challenger to President Bola Tinubu, the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

The move will leave ballots looking considerably less crowded when the next election is held in January.

ADC immediately rejected the order by Judge Peter Lifu, calling it a “direct invitation to anarchy.”

“We actually don’t think it’s legal. What is unfolding is political. The courts is just the vehicle for promoting the political agenda. Everything is politics. What is at stake is not just the politics of African Democratic Congress, it’s also about the sanity of the judicial institution,” ADC spokesman Bolaji Abdullahi said.

“We have no doubt in our mind that it’s a panicky measure taken in reaction to our announcement that Right Honorable Rotimi Amaechi will be the running mate. So, to kill the momentum of that story, they had to come up with this,” he charged.

Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is a former state governor and transportation minister who was announced as ADC’s vice presidential candidate on Monday, joining presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.

Abubakar is a businessman who previously served as vice president from 1999 to 2007. He has run for several offices since then, and says his 2027 presidential race will be his last election. Amaechi was the runner-up in the party primary.

ADC described the alliance of Abubakar and Amaechi as a “unity and rescue ticket” that combines the strengths of “two tested statesmen” who also happen to enjoy political influence in different parts of Nigeria, giving the party a favorable electoral map in the general election.

“Together, Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amaechi embody a truly national ticket — one that bridges regions, generations, and political traditions,” party spokesman Abdullahi said when announcing Amaechi’s addition to the ticket.

Judge Lifu’s order was prompted by complaints that the parties did not meet the minimum standards for certification. Under Nigerian law, a party must either hold one elected seat at any level of government or win at least 25 percent of the votes in one Nigerian state during a presidential election to avoid decertification.

Abubakar’s media aide Paul Ibe slammed the ruling as “judicial rascality” and an effort by incumbent President Bola Tinubu to cripple the opposition ahead of the next election.

“The so-called deregistration of the African Democratic Congress, along with other parties, by Justice Peter Lifu may yet be the biggest manifestation of Tinubu’s hell-bent bid to undermine the opposition and entrench a de facto one-party state,” he charged.

ADC national chairman David Mark denounced the judgment as “an arrow fired at the heart of Nigeria’s democracy.”

“The judgement cannot stand. It will be set aside because it does not pass the test of law and due process,” he said.

Ibe and Mark both reassured party supporters that the ADC will be on the ballot in January. “I assure all our candidates, members and supporters that this temporary setback will be overcome through the judicial process,” Mark said.

The INEC itself opposed the lawsuit that was brought to Lifu’s court, dismissing the plaintiffs as “busybodies” and arguing that no ruling should be handed down until pending appeals were resolved.

Lifu countered that the words in the relevant section of the Nigerian constitution are “plain, direct, express and simple and should be given their literal meaning.”

“Proliferation of political parties without any purposeful and intentional design to promote democratic ideals should be discouraged. Any tendency to pollute the political environment by exploiting uninformed members of the electorate must be frowned upon by the court,” he said.

Deal Doubts Arise As Lebanese, Iranian Officials Say US Must Rein In Israel To Secure Regional Peace

Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and his Iranian counterpart, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, held a call earlier, urging the U.S. to compel Israel to end its bloody war on Lebanon, stop home demolitions, and withdraw from occupied Lebanese territory, according to Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency.

Iranian officials earlier said that any agreement with the US aimed at peace requires Israel to withdraw its forces from southern Lebanon. 

AA continued:

The call came during a phone call between Berri and Qalibaf in which they discussed the latest regional developments following a US-Iran agreement to end their war all on fronts, including Lebanon, according to the Lebanese state news agency NNA.

The two officials also reviewed “the military and political developments related to the memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran, particularly the clause concerning ending the Israeli war on Lebanon,” the agency said.

They stressed “the need for the United States, the guarantors of the memorandum of understanding and the international community to assume their responsibilities by compelling Israel to end its war, stop demolishing villages, respect Lebanon’s sovereignty and immediately withdraw from the territories it has occupied.”

Meanwhile, I24NEWS Hebrew reporter Guy Azriel wrote on X, “I can now confirm that Israel formally requested access to the Iran MoU and was denied. A remarkable and highly unusual development between close allies on an issue of such critical national security importance.”

Russian Warship Fires ‘Warning Shots’ at British-Flagged Yacht in English Channel

It is believed a Russian Frigate fired at a passing yacht in British waters in the English Channel on Tuesday, prompting the Ministry of Defence to launch an investigation.

The UK Ministry of Defence confirmed they are investigating an incident in the English Channel after a British-flagged yacht reported the Russian frigate Admiral Grigorovich had fired warning shots at it on Tuesday morning.

The incident, if proven, would be the most direct confrontation by a foreign warship off the coast of Britain in many years.

Broadcaster Sky News states the yacht was sailing in the English Channel and that it was fired at when around 500 yards away from the Russian warship. There were no injuries or damage.

The incident is stated to have taken place around 20 nautical miles south of the Isle of Wight, which if correct would be within Britain’s Exclusive Economic Zone waters. Because the English Channel is so narrow, there are no international waters, with British and French maritime domains meeting in the middle.

The waterway is one of the busiest in the world and a traffic separation scheme — a “motorway” for the sea — is established through the centre to minimise the chances of crossing ships colliding. Foreign warships are typically escorted through the Channel and The Financial Times states British offshore patrol vessel HMS Mersey was shadowing the Admiral Grigorovich at the time of the incident. Sailors from the Mersey visited the yacht after the incident to speak to crew and assess if there had been damage.

The Ministry of Defence said “We are investigating reports of an incident in the Channel” but that they would add nothing more while the investigation was taking place. Russia has not yet publicly made any comment on today’s events.

The Admiral Grigorovich has been in and around British waters for months. The ship has been active in escorting Russian tankers through the North Sea, Western Approaches, and English Channel. The commanding officer of HMS Mersey said in May: “Monitoring the movements of RFN Admiral Grigorovich, ensuring the integrity of our waters remains at the forefront of our priorities. As ever, this is a team effort, and the opportunity to operate with our sister ship HMS Tyne is a fine example of the close relationship we have developed between our units.”

Radical Woke Mount Sinai Hospital Exposed: DEI, Child Sex Changes & Epstein Ties Prioritized Over Patients

Consumer protection organization Consumers’ Research began a campaign Monday highlighting New York City-based nonprofit Mount Sinai Hospital‘s prioritization of what Consumers’ calls the hospital’s woke and political ideology as well as having what it says are questionable partnerships such as ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Executive director of Consumers’ Research Will Hild told The Center Square that “Mount Sinai is another example of a nonprofit hospital that has seemingly abandoned its core mission of patient care in favor of a radical political agenda.”

“The hospital has a history of prioritizing radical causes like DEI, child sex-change procedures, and climate activism, and has maintained a deeply troubling and disturbing relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, accepting donations and giving him special access to doctors and hospital resources,” Hild said.

“This behavior by nonprofit health systems like Mount Sinai should be investigated for supporting these political agendas at taxpayers’ expense,” Hild said.

Hild told The Center Square that “Consumers’ Research is exposing nonprofit hospitals for using taxpayer dollars and federal revenue streams and benefits to put politics over patients.”

“Taxpayers and elected officials need to be aware that health systems are misusing their resources and these practices need to be examined by lawmakers,” Hild said.

Mount Sinai media relations has not yet responded to The Center Square’s request for comment.

Included in Consumers’ Research’s campaign are a mobile billboard circling the Mount Sinai campus, a website, and “targeted digital around Capitol Hill.”

The mobile billboard displays statements such as Mount Sinai “performed over 130 sex change procedures on kids,” “provides transgender resources for 8-year-olds,” and has ties to Epstein.

Consumers’ Research’s website campaign goes further in depth, showcasing the hospital’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, transgender ideology promotion, climate activism and “questionable partnerships.”

According to the campaign, Mount Sinai operates an Office for Health Data, Outcomes, and Engagement Strategy “to promote health equity cultural awareness.”

O’Keefe Media Group Goes Undercover, Infiltrates New Jersey Antifa – Identifies Members

An O’Keefe Media Group journalist went undercover for eight months and infiltrated New Jersey Antifa.

The journalist infiltrated the private Signal chats of a group known as “NJ BURN.”

“Inside the group’s Signal chats, members discussed plans for port blockades, riot activity, support networks for criminal defendants, and celebrated acts of political violence. Using names, profile photos, and digital receipts, OMG traced individuals to positions throughout some of America’s most influential organizations,” James O’Keefe said.

Inside the Signal “NJ BURN” chat included a Rutgers University Director, T-Mobile AI leaders and more.

The chat members celebrated Charlie Kirk’s murder and hoped that Trump would be assassinated.

NJ ANTIFA INDIVIDUALS IDENTIFIED:
• Alexyss P. – New Jersey Coalition Against Sexual Assault Community Council Member @NJ_CASA

Per OMG:

Some messages in the Signal chats showed these individuals celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination and hoped that the past attempts on President Trump were successful.

The American people deserve to know when individuals involved in activist networks also hold positions within institutions that shape public policy, technology, education, and culture.

These are not simply anonymous individuals organizing online. OMG identified numerous individuals and organizations connected to members of the NJ BURN network and reached out to them for comment. We will update our reporting with any responses we receive.

The identities referenced in this report are based on evidence gathered during our investigation, including social media activity, public records, and other corroborating information. Some identifications remain unknown, and additional information may emerge following publication.

15 Tied To Antifa Charged With Violently Interfering With ICE Operations In Minnesota

Fifteen suspects are accused of conspiring with two Minneapolis-based Antifa groups to violently interfere with federal immigration enforcement, authorities announced on Tuesday.

Daniel Rosen, who heads the U.S. attorney’s office for Minnesota, told reporters at his Minneapolis headquarters on June 16 that agents arrested 12 of the 15 suspects; one was already in custody for other offenses.

Two defendants remain at large. Rosen said both are aware that federal agents are seeking them in connection with an indictment that was unsealed just before the news conference.

“We expect they will surrender peacefully,” he said.

The 15 suspects—all from Minnesota—are charged with conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer, solicitation to commit a crime of violence, interstate threats, interstate stalking, assault on a federal officer, and destruction of government property.

“These defendants have been charged not for what they said, but for what they did. They all joined an agreement, a conspiracy to interfere with lawful immigration enforcement operations,” Rosen said.

“The conspiracy was not to interfere by their voice, but to do it by force. That’s a crime, and it will not be tolerated in the United States.”

A group called “Direct Action Minnesota” is tied to many of the allegations, Rosen said, while another group, Black Cat Workers Collective, is connected to other allegations

The new cases are part of a “broad federal effort to address organized lawless behavior,” he said.

Michael McCarthy, special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations, said the announcement followed “a thorough and months-long investigation into a deeply concerning trend—coordinated violence targeting federal law enforcement officers and facilities.”

“There is a clear line that cannot be crossed” between peaceful protesting and violence, he said, adding, “some groups have crossed that line.”

He noted that many of the violent actions opposed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations.

The new charges were filed months after President Donald Trump’s administration announced that it was probing Antifa groups.
