Rep. Brandon Gill Exposes Joe Biden’s ‘Backdoor Amnesty’ to Keep over 1 Million Illegal Aliens in U.S.

Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) chaired a House Oversight Committee task force hearing on Tuesday, detailing what he calls President Joe Biden’s “backdoor amnesty” for more than a million illegal aliens across the United States.

“Prior administrations and the infinite amnesty lobby weaponized the U.S. immigration system both for political gain and at the expense of the American people, putting foreigners over our own citizens,” Gill said to open the hearing:

The Biden Administration flooded our country with millions of illegal aliens, unvetted from all over the globe, and the impact has been to reduce working class wages, to strain our social system, our education system, our healthcare system, and to culturally transform the United States. [Emphasis added]

In particular, Gill pointed to Biden’s massive expansion of Temporary Protected Status (TPS), the little-known quasi-amnesty program that allows foreign nationals to stay in the U.S., despite having no legal immigration status, if the government has designated their home country as having unlivable conditions due to war or natural disaster.

“It was intended to be temporary …  yet the Biden Administration abused it and has utilized TPS as a form of backdoor amnesty for over a million people who entered our country illegally,” Gill said.

“The numbers speak for themselves,” he continued, noting that when Biden took office, just 410,000 foreign nationals with TPS in the U.S. By the time Biden left office, that total had ballooned to more than a million foreign nationals with TPS.

Mexico’s Former President Accused of Crimes Against Humanity in International Court

Mexico’s former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador stands accused of crimes against humanity in a complaint filed by a rival political party. The complaint blames him as the root cause of the partnership between Mexico’s government and cartels, which led to more than 200,000 deaths and 150,000 forced disappearances, as well as several other crimes under his watch.

The complaint was not filed in a Mexican court, but in the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague by Mexico’s National Action Party (PAN). In a prepared statement, the party claims that during López Obrador’s term from 2018 to 2024, Mexico’s government willingly entered into a narco-alliance with drug cartels that strengthened them to such levels that they replaced the government in many areas.

The statement points to states like Tamaulipas, Sinaloa, and Michoacan where drug cartels are able to operate with almost complete impunity. The PAN also mentioned the recent cases of three Mexican state governors with AMLO’s MORENA party who have been linked to drug cartels.

As Breitbart Texas reported, the most recent case was of Tamaulipas governor Americo Villarreal and Sonora’s Governor Alfonso Durazo who had their visas revoked by the U.S. Department of State for ties to drug cartels. The first case is that of Sinaloa’s Ruben Rocha Moya, who in recent weeks was criminally indicted along with nine of his allies by the U.S. Department of Justice on drug trafficking charges and is a wanted fugitive, even though Mexico’s government has moved to protect him while publicly claiming that there is no evidence of wrongdoing against him or other members of the MORENA party.

The PAN claimed they chose an international court because Mexico’s MORENA-controlled justice system and the courts could no longer be trusted.

In response to the allegation, Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum, who is Lopez Obrador’s protegee and successor, claimed that the rival political party had no credibility. She is the same politician that U.S. President Donald J. Trump has publicly mocked several times, claiming that she is too afraid of cartels to act against them. In the past, the White House has publicly accused Mexico’s government of having an “intolerable relationship” with cartels.

4 California School Districts Under DoJ Review Over Gender Ideology, Sex Ed Policies

Four California public school districts face federal inquiries into whether their policies and practices regarding instruction on sexual orientation and gender ideology violate students’ civil rights.

The districts under Justice Department review are all in Northern California, with three in Monterey County—Graves Elementary School District, Santa Rita Union School District, and Soledad Unified School District—as well as San Francisco Unified School District. Their students range from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

The reviews will determine whether the districts notify parents of their right to opt their children out of instruction on sexual orientation and gender ideology, also known as SOGI, and whether district practices align with federal protections against sex discrimination.

“This Department of Justice will not tolerate local school authorities trampling on the rights of parents concerning the education of their children,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the department’s Civil Rights Division said in a June 8 statement.

“The Supreme Court’s recent decisions in ‘Mahmoud’ and ‘Mirabelli’ have put all school districts on notice: policies that keep parents in the dark about sexuality and gender ideology in the classroom must end now.”

California law mandates sex education to encompass these topics, and state provisions give parents the right to opt their children out of the instruction on these subjects, either entirely or in part.

The San Francisco Unified School District has previously told its teachers that neither parental permission nor notification is needed to teach or discuss SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity) topics in the classroom.

In addition, SOGI topics “appear to be embedded in California’s social studies and history classes,” according to the DOJ statement.

The reviews will also cover policies permitting access to single-sex intimate spaces such as bathrooms and locker rooms, in addition to girls’ sports teams, based on a student’s perceived gender identity rather than sex. The Justice Department will decide whether these policies are in compliance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. The four districts all receive federal taxpayer funding, subjecting them to Title IX’s prohibitions on sex discrimination in education programs and activities.

The department will evaluate whether the districts have enacted changes in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decisions in Mirabelli v. Bonta.

“Plaintiffs alleged that California’s policies permitted disclosure of a student’s gender transitioning at school only if the student consented,” the ruling states.

“Plaintiffs claimed that these policies violated their rights under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

“We conclude that the parents who seek religious exemptions are likely to succeed on the merits of their Free Exercise Clause claim.”

Viral Influencer: How Bill Gates’ Billions Shape US Medical Research

Bill Gates has long been one of the most admired people in the world, especially since he stepped down from his role running Microsoft to devote himself and much of his fortune to philanthropy. That reputation has been tarnished recently, however, by revelations of the billionaire’s close relation with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and exposes on his own fraught relationships with women.

On the eve of Gates’ private testimony with Congress scheduled for tomorrow, a trove of federal whistleblower documents provided to RealClearInvestigations is renewing questions about how Gates money has bought what critics complain is an untoward influence on government health policy. For almost a quarter of a century, his main vehicle of power, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), allowing Gates to shape the direction of the country’s health strategy in ways that have benefitted his own priorities and pet causes while polishing his image as a benevolent global do-gooder.

At a time of growing concern about the power of billionaires such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Sam Altman, Gates’ efforts stand out. Instead of lobbying federal agencies for specific policies, Gates leveraged his wealth to work inside the government, partnering with high-ranking NIH officials to steer taxpayer research funding and design scientific policies for several federal programs.

The cache of several dozen emails and documents, made public for the first time by an NIH whistleblower, reinforces previous reports detailing Gates’s extensive influence over U.S. biomedical research. During the height of the COVID pandemic, Kate Elder, a senior vaccines policy adviser for Doctors Without Borders, complained to Politico, “What makes Bill Gates qualified to be giving advice and advising the U.S. government on where they should be putting the tremendous resources?”

Emails and internal plans, for example, show that the NIH – the world’s largest funder of biomedical research – gave the Gates Foundation first billing for the joint workshops and meeting held on federal property.

FOX News Contributor Guy Benson Responds to Sunny Hostin’s Claim That it’s ‘Not Possible’ for California to Count All the Votes in One Night: ‘WHAT?’ 

Sunny Hostin of ‘The View’ is one of the latest media figures to defend California for taking days or even weeks to count all of the votes in their elections. During a recent broadcast of the show, Hostin said that it’s just ‘not possible’ to count all of the votes in one night.

Her comments are absolutely absurd.

California used to count all of the votes in one night all the time. It only takes a long time now because California has completely changed the rules and allows the counting of mail-in ballots for days after an election, a process that makes it possible for the Democrats to win almost every single time.

Transcript via NewsBusters:

FARAH GRIFFIN: Florida has a lot of mail-in and they get their results the same night. It makes people feel like, ‘oh, there’s something off,’ but it’s not. It’s how their rules are, they’re dumb rules.

[Crosstalk]

HOSTIN: I feel the exact opposite. I think if someone is taking their time to count the votes, I think if someone is looking at every single thing, because in California, it’s the most populous state. We all know that. (…) And so, it does take a long time to be right, to do it well.

FARAH GRIFFIN: Why can Florida do it right in one night though?

HOSTIN: I don’t think you can do it when you have 23 million registered voters! It’s just not possible!

India’s Fake Degree Racket Exposes Systemic Vulnerabilities in the U.S. Skilled Immigration Program

In late 2025, Kerala Police in India dismantled a multi-state fake degree racket, arresting 11 suspects and seizing over 100,000 counterfeit certificates linked to around 22 universities or institutions. Authorities estimated that up to 1 million fraudulent degrees could be in circulation. The forged documents primarily targeted fields like medicine, nursing, and engineering, and were sold for ₹75,000 to ₹1.5 lakh (roughly $900–$1,800 USD).

One institution highlighted in related reporting is Manav Bharti University, which reportedly sold about 36,025 fake degrees while awarding far fewer legitimate ones (around 5,455). Fake degrees from such operations reportedly cost as little as $1,400. 

The issue has recently reignited after Fox News anchor Kayleigh McEnany posted a video on social media highlighting concerns about the H-1B visa program, which allows employers to hire foreign workers in “specialty occupations” requiring at least a bachelor’s degree or equivalent.

In the post, McEnany cited figures on visa approvals since 2015 and referenced allegations from a former official, reported by Newsweek, regarding widespread fraud and the use of fraudulent documentation in some H-1B applications originating from India. .

These documents were allegedly used for jobs and visa applications abroad, including in the U.S. While direct links to specific approved H-1B visas would require further investigation by U.S. authorities, the scale raises serious questions about credential verification in the immigration process. 

Broader Allegations of Fraud in Indian H-1B Applications

A former U.S. consular officer, Mahvash Siddiqui, who adjudicated thousands of visas (including many H-1Bs) at the U.S. consulate in Chennai, India, alleged in 2025 that 80–90% of H-1B applications from the region involved fraudulent documentation or unqualified applicants. She described forged degrees, transcripts, employment letters, and other supporting materials, often facilitated by visa consultancies. 

India dominates H-1B approvals (often around 70% in recent years), making these claims particularly relevant to program integrity. 

U.S. agencies like USCIS and the Department of Labor have long acknowledged fraud risks in the H-1B program, including indicators such as wage violations, benching (non-payment while awaiting projects), and misrepresentation of job duties or worksites. Audits have previously found notable fraud rates. uscis.gov

Nick Shirley Tracks Down a ‘126-Year-Old California Voter’ With Record of 51 Elections — What He Found Raises Serious Questions About State Voter Rolls

This is the Democrat Party’s idea of “secure” elections in their one-party utopia.

Investigative reporter Nick Shirley — the same journalist whose explosive February 2026 video we reported on here at The Gateway Pundit — knocking on doors and exposing the rotting corpse of the state’s Democrat-controlled election system, and the latest clip is pure fire.

Meet Doris. She lives in California. According to the California Secretary of State’s own voter rolls, she is 126 years old and has cast ballots in 51 elections.

There’s just one small problem.

Doris is not 126 years old. She was born in 1940. That makes her roughly 86 years old. She’s never voted in 51 elections. And when Nick Shirley showed up at her door to ask about it, she was stunned.

Nick Shirley and his team went straight to the address listed on the official rolls to confirm what the Democrat-run bureaucracy is hiding.

The Facts About the California Primary and Its Lack of Integrity

As always, the media says Republicans are spreading conspiracy theories about the California primaries. However, there are many documented reasons to distrust California’s election system.

California held its statewide primary on June 2, 2026. Under the state’s top-two jungle primary system, adopted in 2010 and in use since 2011, the two highest vote-getters in any primary advance to the general election regardless of party, meaning the November ballot can feature two democrat candidates with no republicans.

In the 2026 governor’s race, that scenario remains live. Republican Steve Hilton leads Democrat Tom Steyer by less than half a percentage point for the second spot, with roughly one-third of ballots still uncounted.

California voters could arrive at the polls in November and find two Democrats, Xavier Becerra and Tom Steyer, and no Republican.

The level of support currently shown for a Republican candidate in California is itself unusual and suggests that many Californians are growing weary of Democratic leadership.

Apart from the top-two system, Republicans point to numerous concrete facts to support their claims that California elections are vulnerable to fraud and abuse.

California does not require voters to show identification at the polls in most circumstances, and a 2024 state law signed by Gov. Newsom prohibits local governments from imposing their own ID requirements.

UK Government Plots Digital ID Lockdown On Every Phone In Lockstep With Big Tech

The Labour government in Britain is accelerating its assault on digital privacy under the well-worn banner of child protection. Fresh plans leaked to the press reveal ministers intend to compel Apple, Google and other tech firms to restrict smartphones so thoroughly that a digital ID will be needed to use them with unfettered access.

The mechanism comes in the form of expanded age verification that effectively demands digital identification for device setup and use. What is sold as safeguarding the young is shaping up as a backdoor mandate for every adult in Britain to submit ID just to operate a phone or go online.

This development lands alongside Google’s confirmation that it will soon bring digital IDs to Android devices in the UK via Google Wallet. Users will record a short video selfie and scan a government-issued ID to add a digital version of their passport or other documents.

US Attorney Observes Los Angeles Election Center as Feds Launch Multiple Voter Fraud Investigations

Multiple election fraud investigations in California are currently underway with the FBI and the US Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles, as ballot counting for Tuesday’s primary election continues. 

First Assistant US Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said his office is conducting a “comprehensive audit of California’s voter rolls” with the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division on Friday. His office also has “multiple election fraud investigations underway” in coordination with the FBI.

This comes after Trump sounded the alarm on Thursday, telling reporters in the Oval Office, “You see what’s happening in California. They’re rigging the election.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Republican California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton also sounded the alarm on Thursday evening, telling Fox’s Laura Ingraham that, according to USPS whistleblowers, California is indiscriminately counting mail-in ballots without verifying the date they were sent. “It’s insane. This election system that they’ve created here is just another monument to their uselessness, another version of high-speed rail,” Hilton said as roughly 4 million ballots remain uncounted in his race.

On Thursday, Democrat Xavier Becerra, former Health and Human Services Secretary for Biden, advanced in the governor’s primary race 48 hours after the polls closed on Thursday evening. Still, Hilton is in first place, leading Democrat Tom Steyer by seven points with 59.7% of expected votes in as of 3:18 pm ET, and his fate remains uncertain with California’s lawless election system.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has been projected to advance to the November runoff in the mayor’s race, where she will face either Spencer Pratt or Nithya Raman. Pratt, after taking an early lead over Democratic Councilwoman Nithya Raman and trailing incumbent Democrat Mayor Karen Bass by a slim margin, is still in second place. Pratt is leading Raman by six points with 64.3% of expected votes counted as of 3:18 pm ET.

“The most recent mail-in ballots that were processed are favoring Democrats, as many analysts suggested they would. Inside the ballot processing center here in LA County, any ballot that was postmarked by Election Day, Tuesday, must be counted by law,” Fox’s Matt Finn reports from outside LA County’s ballot processing center.

“The process takes so long, in part because each ballot must have its signature verified, and if there’s an issue, there’s a 10-day period to have it cured,” he continued, noting that it’s “very likely” counting will continue into next week.
