DSA’s New Plan: Abolish Senate, Amnesty for Illegals — Deliver Madison’s “Tyranny”

Are the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) trying to visit tyranny on the United States? Evaluating their new platform, you’d have to say yes if heeding a warning from James Madison, “father of the Constitution.” He famously said in The Federalist, No. 47:

The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.

This, too, is essentially what the DSA’s new platform would establish. As Fox News reported Friday:

According to a source familiar with the DSA’s planning, the organization plans to roll out an update next week to its long-term vision for a U.S. policy platform. The update includes eliminating the U.S. Senate and replacing the president and the Supreme Court with an executive branch and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress.

So to be clear, the DSA’s platform would undermine the Constitution’s prescribed balance of powers. It would enable a one-chamber Congress (no Senate) to appoint a president and judges who are rubber stamps for its agenda.

Under our current system, the president is, of course, chosen by the people. He then can nominate judges, who subsequently must be confirmed by citizen-elected senators before taking the bench. Moreover, Congress is already the most powerful branch, as the House can impeach the president and judges. The Senate can then vote to convict, giving the legislature capacity to remove such officials from office. The other two branches have no such power over Congress.

But the DSA would expand this power precipitously. Its plan would, in a de facto sense, place “all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary” in Congress’ hands. And it’s irrelevant that those “hands” are “elective” (as Congress is), as Madison stressed.

Many would point out that this moves us closer to a parliamentary system, as exists in Britain and Canada. Others would take an even darker view. As a top Yahoo!news commenter writes, responding to the Fox article:

Once you get this enacted, and the socialists are in power, they will NEVER relinquish it. Ever.

A single chamber “congress” will be, by definition, a one party body that will rubber stamp policies of the party.

The model for this is the Soviet Union.

The respondent is alluding to the USSR’s Politburo (Political Bureau), the fallen communist empire’s top decision-making body.

Florida Judge Frees Illegal Migrant Plane Hijacker Awaiting Deportation

A Clinton-appointed U.S. District Judge in Florida ordered the immediate release of Maikel Guerra Morales, an illegal migrant convicted for the 2003 hijacking of a passenger plane, and set him free on American streets.

Prior to his release, Guerra Morales was under U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, pending deportation proceedings, after he finished serving his 22-year prison sentence in December.

Maikel Guerra Morales is one of six Cuban nationals convicted in December 2003 for their role in the March 19, 2003, hijacking of a commercial flight in Nueva Gerona, Cuba. At the time, witnesses reportedly testified that the hijackers broke into the cockpit door and held a knife to the pilot’s throat — demanding that he redirect the 37-passenger plane to land in Key West, Florida.

Guerra Morales served a 22-year prison sentence on charges of aircraft piracy and conspiracy to interfere with a flight crew. The Cuban national finished serving his sentence in December 2025, after which he was placed under ICE custody to undergo deportation proceedings.

The New York Post reported on Monday that Florida Judge John E. Steele ordered the Cuban national’s release under supervision from ICE custody on July 8. Judge Steele was appointed to his position during the Democrat administration of former President Bill Clinton.

The New York Post reported that ICE intended to deport Guerra Morales to Mexico but, according to court documents, he “might end up directly in Cuba.” Following his release, he is reportedly believed to be living in Miami.

Guerra Morales briefly spoke with Telemundo after the judge ordered his release and affirmed, “If the judge didn’t get tough, ICE wouldn’t have let me go.” He asserted to Telemundo that he spent 33 days at the immigration detention center in Florida dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” and was subsequently transferred to the Krome Processing Center in South Florida. According to Telemundo, Guerra Morales was released wearing an electronic ankle bracelet.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a statement on Tuesday condemning the Judge Steele-ordered release of the criminal illegal alien.

“This activist judge forced ICE to release a criminal illegal alien who was convicted and sentenced to 22 years for hijacking a plane back into American communities,” Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said. “This is yet another example of an activist judge trying to thwart President Trump’s mandate from the American people to remove criminal illegal aliens from our country.”

“Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, DHS will continue to fight for the detention and removal of criminal illegal aliens who have no right to be in our country,” Bis added.

DHS noted that a Department of Justice (DOJ) Immigration Judge issued a final order for the removal of Maikel Guerra Morales on March 1, 2023 — acknowledging that ICE took custody of the Cuban national at the end of his prison sentence on December 2025.

Reports published in 2003 identified Maikel Guerra Morales as the brother of the hijacking’s alleged ringleader, Alexis Norniella Morales. The siblings testified that “everyone on board was in on the plot, with five knives used only as props.”

Maine ICE Shooting Witness Confirms Agents Issued Several Warnings Before “Car Was Put into Drive and Was Trying to Hit the ICE Officer”

A witness to the ICE-involved shooting in Maine on Monday completely obliterated the anti-ICE narrative being pushed by Democrats and the left-wing media by confirming the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the incident.  

26-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero of Colombia attempted to run over ICE agents during a targeted enforcement operation on Monday morning, and he was fatally shot, The Gateway Pundit reported.

The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement, “ICE was conducting targeted surveillance on the last known address of an illegal alien with a final order of removal. An illegal alien departed the residence in a vehicle.”

“ICE law enforcement attempted to conduct a vehicle stop. The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and fearing for public safety an officer discharged his weapon,” the statement continued.

While the left claims that the driver was an innocent shot by masked, unidentified men in unmarked vehicles and not the intended target of the ICE operations, 18-year-old Lucas Scott, a resident of Wells, Maine, told the Press Herald on Monday, the exact same story that DHS gave.

Even if Guerrero wasn’t the original target of the operation, it’s the same story every time: If someone attempts to ram an ICE agent with their vehicle, they will likely be shot at.

ICE Arrests Illegal Alien Whose Criminal Record Dates Back 35 Years

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested an illegal alien in Miami-Dade County, Florida, whose criminal record dates back to 1991, Breitbart News has learned.

On June 11, ICE agents in Miami arrested 58-year-old illegal alien Elias Cardoza-Torres of Cuba, who has been convicted of selling heroin, burglary, and vehicle theft, among other crimes.

“ICE works closely with our law enforcement partners to remove criminal illegal aliens from our communities,” Acting ICE Director David Venturella said in a statement.

According to Venturella, Cardoza-Torres entered the United States in 1989 as a parolee and never adjusted his status to secure a green card. In November 1991, he was convicted of felony cocaine possession and in August 1997, he was convicted of burglary.

In October 1999, Cardoza-Torres was convicted of selling heroin. The following year, in April 2000, a federal immigration judge ordered him deported from the United States but he remained in the country for more than 26 years.

“We’re talking about an individual who completely disregarded our immigration laws and went on to ignore our criminal laws, as well,” Venturella said. “Fortunately, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office has turned him over to ICE custody, where he’ll remain pending removal.”

In more recent years, Cardoza-Torres was convicted of vehicle theft, drug possession, cocaine possession, and felony weapons offenses.

Sick Man-Child: Tim Walz Bringing National Guard Back from DC After Rubio Deports Child Rapist Walz Pardoned

Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz called his state’s National Guard back from Washington, D.C., just as Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the termination of legal status and subsequent deportation of a Laotian convicted sex offender pardoned by the governor.

NPR reported Walz’s decision on Saturday, saying he had sent the guard to the nation’s capital ahead of celebrations for the Fourth of July.

President Donald Trump had already increased the guard’s activities there in an effort to reduce crime beginning last August, but the number of guardsman has increased to over 5,000 in the last month, costing $3 million a day.

Walz was clear that the Minnesota guard were to be used for the event only. Under Title 32 of the U.S. Code, despite being federally funded, guardsmen are under their governor’s control.

Minnesota was not alone as states like Michigan, Maryland, Hawaii, North Carolina, and Kentucky — all under Democratic governors — also sent guardsmen.

For Walz, the number was around 100 scheduled to be in D.C. until July 23, but he recalled them after NPR said he concluded they were being sent to patrol areas not relevant to their initial task.

The timing cannot be overlooked.

Crazed Democrat Al Green Defends Illegal Alien who Tried to Ram ICE Agents, Says Americans Have an “Obligation” to Give Illegals Protection Under the Constitution

Civil rights groups and Democratic officials held a press conference on Friday on behalf of an illegal alien who was killed while attacking ICE agents, and Rep. Al Green (D-TX) claimed Americans have a “duty” to ensure illegals are protected by the Constitution. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, an illegal alien from Mexico who tried to run over ICE agents during a traffic stop, was fatally shot after ramming an ICE vehicle.

After attempting to flee, refusing to follow multiple verbal commands, and attempting to run over an ICE agent, Araujo was shot and taken to a hospital, where he later died. Of course, the Democrats and leftist media are now losing their minds trying to defend an illegal alien who attacked ICE.

Lunatic Al Green went out claiming that the illegal alien “belongs to the Constitution” and “should not receive any less attention from the Constitution that I or any of you would receive.”

“Mr. Arajo belongs to us. He belongs to the Constitution of the United States of America,” Green said during brief remarks at the press conference.

“That Constitution applies to him, just as it applies to me. He should not receive any less attention from the Constitution that I or any of you would receive. He belongs to us. He’s in our jurisdiction.”

Federal Judge Orders DHS Not To Obey Order From Another Judge

A federal judge on July 8 said the Trump administration must not comply with an order from another federal judge and must continue to have key functions of an immigration database disabled.

Judge Sparkle Sooknanan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia said that officials with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other agencies shall keep disabled the ability to look up Social Security numbers and carry out mass uploads in the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system.

Sooknanan ordered the Trump administration in June to disable the features, finding that recent updates to the database violated privacy laws by disclosing Americans’ Social Security numbers and other sensitive information.

Sooknanan said on July 8 that arguments from the government in favor of pausing her previous order were unpersuasive, including the argument that highlighted a July 7 ruling from Judge T. Kent Wetherell II of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida that ordered DHS to enable the functions for four states under a 2025 settlement that he had approved.

Wetherell had noted that he could have waited until the case in Washington proceeded, but that the four states had presented “unrebutted evidence showing that they are suffering real and concrete harm every day that passes without the disabled features of the SAVE system.”

He said that Sooknanan could have deferred to his previous determination that the functions were lawful, which was reached, he said, in part because the Social Security Act does not preclude disclosing Social Security numbers for immigration enforcement.

Sooknanan disagreed, describing Wetherell as having “erred in significant ways,” including by reaching a decision on the merits in the case without opinions from parties outside the federal and state governments that oppose the governments’ position.

Sooknanan said that settlements may warrant reexamination and that she acted properly by enjoining DHS from allowing officials to use the new features introduced in 2025 despite the existence of the settlement.

Even if Wetherell’s ruling ends up holding, the settlement is only with DHS, not the Social Security Administration (SSA), and only with four states, the judge wrote, so it would not prompt a stay of her earlier order with respect to the other 46 states.

DHS, which had declined to comment on Wetherell’s decision, did not return a request for comment on Sooknanan’s ruling by the time of publication.

The four states have not reacted to the competing rulings.

Illegal Alien from Guyana Arrested for Firebombing Two New York City Churches – “Yeah, I F**king Firebombed Them!”

A 36-year-old illegal alien was arrested after throwing improvised explosives at two churches in Queens, New York, on Wednesday night.

Yogesh Sayrange is a Guyanese citizen who is considered “unauthorized” in the US because his childhood arrival protection expired.

Surveillance footage from one of the churches shows three individuals outside the Iglesia Bautista El Mesias church when the man, dressed in a dark hoodie and pants, appears to throw a Molotov cocktail at the building.

The three bystanders got back into their car and left the scene as the man walked off in another direction.

A fourth bystander is seen throwing his arms up as he walks by.

Another firebombing occurred at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

The suspect, identified as Yogesh Sayrange, is believed by police to be involved in a third incident as well.

Per ABC 7:

The suspect is accused of throwing an incendiary device at the front door of the Iglesia Bautista El Mesias church on 75th Street in Ozone Park just after 11:35 p.m. on Wednesday.

Investigators say the Molotov cocktail bounced off the door and exploded on the ground, causing no damage to the building.

Police say the suspect then traveled to a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses on 78th Street in Woodhaven, where he allegedly threw a second Molotov cocktail. That device also bounced off the door and exploded on the ground without damaging the building.

A third incident was then discovered at 76-9 Rockaway Boulevard in Cypress Hills. There was no damage to that building.

Authorities later located and arrested the 36-year-old suspect. Police say they recovered two additional Molotov cocktails from his bag at the time of his arrest.
