US & EU Negotiate Biometric Data-Sharing Deal

Washington wants to run European fingerprints through American databases, and the EU is considering it. The Department of Homeland Security and the European Union are in formal negotiations over an arrangement that would give DHS direct query access to biometric records held by EU member states, a level of access that Brussels has never granted to a non-EU country for border security purposes.

The deal sits inside DHS’s Enhanced Border Security Partnership program, which effectively tells Visa Waiver Program countries to open their biometric databases or risk losing visa-free travel privileges. Washington has set a December 31, 2026, deadline for EBSP agreements to be operational. After that, DHS reviews each country’s compliance. Countries that fail to meet expectations risk suspension from the VWP, which would reimpose visa requirements on their citizens.

When DHS encounters a traveler, asylum seeker, visa applicant, or anyone flagged during immigration processing, it would query a participating country’s database using that person’s biometrics.

A match returns fingerprints and related identity data to DHS.

Illegal immigrants charged in 75% of this year’s murders in Fairfax County, VA: DHS

The Department of Homeland Security revealed on Friday that of the four defendants in Fairfax County, Virginia currently facing murder trials so far this year, three of them are illegal immigrants.

“Of the four defendants in Fairfax County murder trials this year, THREE are ILLEGAL ALIENS,” the DHS wrote. “Governor Spanberger must end her sanctuary policies that allow these illegal aliens onto our streets and work with DHS to protect the citizens of the commonwealth.”

In one of the most recent cases, Misael Lopez Gomez was arrested on Tuesday and charged second-degree murder and a felony child abuse for allegedly killing his 3-month-old daughter. Preliminary results from the autopsy conducted by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined that the cause of death was blunt force trauma.

The DHS said that it had issued an arrest detainer. He allegedly admitted to entering the US illegally through the southern border near Albuquerque, New Mexico in July 2023.

Chinese-Americans Accused Of Terrorism Were Anchor Babies For Illegal Parents

A man and a woman who entered the United States illegally three decades ago were arrested by the Department of Homeland Security after their children brought an explosive device to a military base, The Daily Wire can first report.

Qiu Qin Zou and Jia Zhang Zheng illegally entered the United States in the ’90s, were denied asylum, but remained in the country for several decades, The Daily Wire has learned. They had two children as they illegally resided in the country — Ann Mary Zheng and Alen Zheng.

Last week, the Department of Justice charged 27-year-old Ann Zheng with her part in attempting to explode an IED at MacDill Air Force Base Visitor’s Center in Tampa.  She was arrested as she returned to the United States from China, where authorities believe her brother remains.

DHS arrested the duo’s parents on March 18 for illegal entry.

Qiu Qin Zou and Jia Zhang Zheng remain in ICE custody. They had applied for asylum in 1993 but their applications were denied by an immigration judge, who ordered their removal from the U.S. in 1998. DHS says that the Board of Immigration Appeals repeatedly denied their attempts to have their case reopened. Despite this, they remained in the United States for decades.

The arrests come as the Supreme Court mulls President Donald Trump’s executive order banning birthright citizenship.

“Automatically granting citizenship to children of illegal aliens born in the U.S. is based on a historically inaccurate interpretation of the Citizenship Clause and poses a major national security risk,” argued Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.

“That reality became apparent last week when two U.S.-born children of Chinese illegal aliens were indicted for planting a potentially deadly explosive device outside MacDill Air Force Base in Florida,” Bis explained. “This incident underscores the severe national security threat that illegal immigration and birthright citizenship pose to the United States.”

Kristi Noem’s husband and the dark secret of trans

What guy hasn’t wanted to wear pink spandex and a mammoth pair of prosthetic boobs? I only ask because that’s what the husband of Kristi Noem, former US secretary of homeland security, was wearing in pictures that appeared in the Daily Mail on 31 March. Had the paper delayed publication for another day, the story might have been dismissed as an April Fool’s.

Bryon Noem – a successful crop-insurance salesman – racked up, it is alleged, bills of $25,000 from paying women to talk to him online, while he was wearing huge rubber breasts and pouting with all the feminine allure he could muster (despite forgetting to shave).

It sometimes seems as if nothing can shock us about adults’ consenting sexual behaviour, but the universal bafflement that greeted the images of Mr Noem was understandable. It has echoed the stunned reaction to the revelation in HBO’s The White Lotus, that Sam Rockwell’s character likes dressing up as a woman and getting ‘railed’ by four or five men at a time. In their different ways, Noem and Rockwell have helped lift the veil on a subject the trans lobby and their insanely uncritical allies have long refused to acknowledge. Whisper it gently: the vast majority of cross-dressing men get a sexual thrill from doing so.

Trans activists have relentlessly suppressed this fact. And who can blame them? The public would never for a moment have entertained allowing men in dresses access to women’s single-sex spaces if they knew the truth – namely, that many of these men are sexually aroused by forcing other people to treat them as if they’re women.

This is not to say that autogynephilia, the technical name for men getting off on imagining themselves as female, comes in only one style, the fetish equivalent of the little black dress. There’s a whole walk-in wardrobe of different cross-dressing fashions. Each more spicy than the next.

Kristi Noem weighs in on report husband lives cross-dressing double life: ‘The family was blindsided by this’

Former Department of Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem is “devastated” by salacious allegations her husband Bryon lives a double life where he cross-dresses and chats online with fetish models.

“Ms. Noem is devastated. The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at the time,” Noem’s representatives told The Post.

According to reporting by the Daily Mail, Bryon Noem chatted up women from the so-called “bimbofication” fetish scene, in which adult performers augment their breasts with massive amounts of saline to achieve a “Barbie doll”-like appearance.

Citing “hundreds” of messages purportedly sent by three women from the scene, Noem’s husband enthusiastically praised their heavily augmented appearances, and proclaimed he coveted “huge, huge ridiculous boobs,” according to the Mail.

One photo the Mail claims Bryon Noem shared with the women features him wearing pink hot-pants and a flesh-colored, skin-tight suit.

He appears to have put balloons in his shirt to mimic comically oversized, lopsided breasts – complete with fake protruding nipples.

The Post has not confirmed the details reported by the Mail.

The outlet spoke to national security experts who surmised her husband’s alleged proclivities could have left the former DHS secretary – who was fired last month – vulnerable to potential blackmail.

Democrat NJ Gov. Mikie Sherrill Signs Law Banning ICE Agents from Wearing Masks, DHS Vows Not to Comply

Democrat New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill signed legislation this week banning law enforcement, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, from wearing masks, leaving then vulnerable to targeted harassment.

The governor signed SCS for S3114 and 3216/A1743, which, according the March 25 press release, “Requires law enforcement officer[s] to reveal facial identity during certain public interactions and to present sufficient identification prior to arresting or detaining person.”

In a statement describing the bills she signed, Sherrill said, “These bills underscore that here in New Jersey, we still follow the Constitution and uphold the rule of law.”

“My focus as governor remains on keeping the public safe,” she continued before taking a dig at President Donald Trump, describing ICE agents as “untrained” and “unaccountable.”

“As we’ve seen across the country, Donald Trump’s untrained, unaccountable, masked ICE agents are putting people in danger,” she said.

“That’s why in New Jersey, we are protecting our communities — strengthening our protections, banning ICE agents from wearing masks, and protecting residents’ privacy from federal overreach,” Sherrill added.

This has remained a sticking point when it comes to the partial government shutdown as Democrats have demanded reforms to ICE, taking issue, specifically, with the use of masks.

“Senate Democrats want to ban ICE officers from wearing masks so their left-wing street militias can dox the officers and terrorize the officers’ wives and children at their homes,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) said on Wednesday, offering further perspective on day 40 of the Senate battle over funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

On Thursday the shutdown reached day 41.

Eric Swalwell “Nannygate” Explodes: DHS and FEC Complaints Allege Illegal Alien Employment and Misuse of Campaign Funds for Childcare

On February 16, 2026, I filed two well-documented federal complaints against Congressman Eric Swalwell, one with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS/ICE), and another with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Together, these filings raise serious questions about whether Swalwell engaged in illegal patterns of conduct that reflect his disregard for federal law and a potential abuse of campaign funds for personal benefit.

At issue are two distinct but closely related allegations: first, that Swalwell continued employing a foreign national nanny illegally for two years after her legal work authorization expired; and second, that he illegally used campaign funds to cover what appear to be ongoing personal childcare expenses totaling more than $300,000.

Taken together, these allegations suggest a sustained pattern in which legal requirements were well understood by Swalwell, and then ignored for personal gain. I published both complaints on SwalwellisDisqualified.com.

The DHS/ICE Complaint: Alleged Employment of an Unauthorized Worker

In 2022, Eric Swalwell and his wife employed a Brazilian national, Amanda Barbosa, as a live-in Au Pair under the J-1 visa program. Barbosa resided in the Swalwell household and provided full-time childcare for their three young children. In 2022, Barbosa was paid approximately $46,929.70 for her services by Swalwell’s campaign under “Childcare for Campaign Events”.

Critically, Barbosa’s J-1 visa, and thus her legal authorization to work, expired at the end of December 2022. The Swalwells were fully aware of this deadline. In fact, earlier in 2022, they attempted to secure permanent work authorization for Barbosa by filing a federal labor certification (ETA-9089), which required a formal job posting in The Washington Post. Their advertisement outlined a demanding, full-time nanny position which included:

  • taking care of 3 kids & help satisfy kids’ physical, emotional, intellectual, & social needs
  • assist w/care of dog, organize kids’ play activities, drive kids to appts & activities
  • household cleaning &laundry, prep kids’ meals, Mon to Fri, 7A to 4P, Wknd work time

The Swalwell’s permanent work authorization application was denied by the Department of Labor.

Did the DHS “ALBERT” Intrusion Detection Systems Fail? China Obtained 2020 Voter Rolls and Made Fake Driver Licenses

Major revelations have emerged about the 2020 election. JustTheNews reported that U.S. intelligence agencies have had raw reports, finished intelligence products, and at least one presidential daily briefing.

They all contain knowledge about actual breaches and interference conducted by foreign actors to swing the 2020 election. But we were told the election was the most secure ever.

The intelligence community hid this from the 2020 Trump Administration, various officials, and the American people for years. This Ombudsman letter from Barry Zulauf explains that China was seemingly protected.

Info from China analysts was withheld or dismissed. The words “influence” and “interference” had different meanings regarding China than they did for other countries like Iran and Russia.

Those old reports show they knew Chinese intelligence had obtained voter registration data from multiple states. This is the data with personal ID information, including social security numbers and driver’s licenses. It’s the exact type of voter roll data the DOJ has been asking for.

TGP reported on the “ALBERT Sensor” intrusion detection system a few years ago. It was rapidly deployed in 2017 by DHS into county elections across the country. Did it not work for the 2020 election, or have States hidden voter roll intrusions from their citizens?

HUH? Dem Senator Elissa Slotkin Says ‘We Must Fund the Department of Homeland Security’ Right After She Voted Against It

This week, after the terror attack on a synagogue in Michigan, Dem Senator Elissa Slotkin stood in front of TV cameras and said that we need to fund the Department of Homeland Security, which is odd considering she voted against doing that just hours before then.

Democrats are putting American lives at risk with their little shutdown game.

If we had a competent media, someone might ask Ms. Slotkin to explain her comments versus her actions.

The Daly Caller reported:

Democratic Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin changed her tune on funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Friday after a Lebanese national attacked a Metro Detroit synagogue.

DHS identified the deceased suspect who attacked the Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, as Ayman Mohamed Ghazali, a Lebanese native who became a U.S. citizen in 2016. Slotkin, who voted in favor of continuing the partial shutdown of DHS on Thursday, said during a press conference that DHS needs to be funded because it is an “essential” agency.

“I would say the department, because they are essential workers, they have been at work,” Slotkin said. “Certainly in Michigan, we have a ton of DHS folks, CBP and so they are on the call and they are doing their jobs. Certainly, we need to fund the Department of Homeland Security and we need, in my view, to cut away all the conversation on ICE, which is its own conversation, from all of the core missions at the Department of Homeland Security. But they’re essential, they are on the job and they are working today.”

‘Heinous’ thug accused of shoving 83-year-old military vet onto NYC subway tracks was deported 4 times, charged 15 times: DHS

The “heinous” male accused of shoving an 83-year-old military veteran off a New York City subway station platform and onto the train tracks last weekend was deported four times and has 15 prior charges on his record, the Department of Homeland Security said.

DHS on Thursday added that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has asked New York authorities not to release illegal alien suspect Bairon Posada-Hernandez, whom Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis called a “heinous” and “serial criminal” who “should never have been able to walk our streets and harm innocent Americans.”

Posada-Hernandez was arrested for attempted murder Tuesday in connection with Sunday’s incident, during which he also allegedly pushed a 30-year-old man onto the subway train tracks, the agency said.

DHS said ICE on Tuesday placed a detainer on Posada-Hernandez, a Honduran national. Bis added that “DHS is calling upon New York sanctuary politicians to commit to this ICE detainer.”
