Republican Lawmakers Demand Action After Somali Gangs Open Fire in Minnesota Park

A shooting in a Minnesota park has spurred Republican legislators to call for a crackdown on Somali gang activity.

Crime Watch Minneapolis said that about 50 Somali youth were at Yancey Park in Edina when shots were fired on Wednesday night, according to Alpha News.

Residents reported hearing more than 20 gunshots. No one has been arrested. No injuries were reported.

Republican Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota said this latest incident is proof action is needed.

“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, if you won’t assimilate, then get the hell out of here,” Emmer said.

“First it was an estimated $9 billion in fraud, now it’s out-of-control violence. These Somali gangs have shot up high school graduations and assaulted players on opposing basketball teams with tire irons. It’s absolute madness, and something must be done,” he said.

“Mutiny Against the Supreme Court” – DHS Blasts Biden Judge for Indefinitely Extending Block on Termination of Temporary Protected Status for Ethiopians

US District Judge Brian Murphy, a Biden appointee on Friday indefinitely extended a block on the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

In 2022, the Biden Regime allowed more than 5,000 Ethiopians to enter the US and live here with special protections.

Their TPS status was extended again in April 2024 and expired on February 13, 2026.

Upon taking office again in January 2025, President Trump immediately revoked the Biden-era ‘Temporary Protected Status’ and ordered the DHS to ensure that the TPS designations were limited.

Judge Murphy previously said President Trump violated the process by revoking the protections.

Earlier this year, Judge Murphy issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and blocked the Trump Administration from ending the protection for the Ethiopians.

Migrant accused of murdering 3 apartment staffers over parking spat said he ‘hated the American system’: cops

The crazed migrant accused of murdering three people over a petty parking-garage dispute told investigators he “hated the American system” that had thwarted him from bringing his wife and kids here from Ethiopia.

Tsegaab Binessu was busted late Monday in Virginia, Minn., some 200 miles north of the St. Paul residences where he allegedly “executed” Nansi Fuentes Zambrano, 25, Dena Silcox, 56, and Adam Wilwerding, 43, according to a criminal complaint obtained by the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

All three were staffers at his apartment complex where he was fighting to cancel his $65-a-month parking garage contract in the hopes of joining the Navy, the complaint said.

Once arrested, Binessu “complained about and said he hated the American system” that he blamed on destroying his family life, the complaint said.

Binessu, who had a US passport and Social Security card, told police that for several years he had tried without success to bring his wife and children to the US, according to the complaint.

The prolonged immigration process, he said, led to his divorce and separation from his kids. He claimed he quit his job as a truck driver due to the stress of the situation, the document states.

MI COUNTY CLERK DROPS BOMBSHELL: 1,062 NON-Citizens Found in Jury Pool List – 40 Are Registered to Vote In ONE County!

Macomb County Clerk Anthony G. Forlini is once again exposing a serious and ongoing problem in Michigan’s election system under Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.

From January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, Forlini’s office identified more than 1,000 prospective jurors who self-reported that they are not U.S. citizens. Of those individuals, 40 were found registered to vote in Macomb County’s Qualified Voter File.

Five of them even have a voting history.

The Clerk’s Office referred these findings to the Michigan Bureau of Elections on January 13, April 28, and July 10, 2026.

In January 2026, The Gateway Pundit reported that Forlini had identified 239 non-citizens in the jury pool over just four months. Of those, 14 had been registered to vote at some point, and several appeared to have voting histories — including one who voted multiple times.

“It is unconscionable that this problem continues,” Forlini said. “To provide greater transparency, our office posts a running tally of these findings on our website so the public can stay informed and lawmakers can better understand the scope of the issue as they consider reforms.”

Under Michigan law, only U.S. citizens are eligible to vote or serve on a jury. Yet non-citizens continue to receive jury summonses because the jury pool is generated from the Secretary of State’s driver’s license database, which includes non-citizens.

It’s Not Just a New Jersey Scandal – SIX States Were Previously Caught Including THOUSANDS of Non-Citizens on the Voter Rolls

On Tuesday, New Jersey Democratic Governor Mikie Sherrill took to X to confess that she had learned of a “serious software error” in the state’s Motor Vehicle System that allowed thousands of foreign nationals to register to vote between June 2023 and June 2024.

This “coincidentally” occurred right in the midst of the 2024 election campaign. Sherill, of course, tried to assure that the impact was ‘minor.’

President Trump later highlighted the massive number of illegal voters across the country in a renewed push for Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act.

35,152 non-citizens were registered to vote in New Jersey not the 6,600 people that the New Jersey governor announced in her initial tweet.

The Department of Homeland Security recently said that “preliminary reviews” of voter records in California, New Jersey, Nevada, and Pennsylvania found the following.

  • 190,832 non-citizens registered to vote in California.
  • 35,152 non-citizens registered to vote in New Jersey.
  • 15,903 non-citizens registered to vote in Nevada.
  • 14,576 non-citizens registered to vote in Pennsylvania.

Obviously, this is a widespread problem but as reported earlier, it is not a surprise and is almost expected.

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Wednesday, New Jersey is one of many States that DO NOT use the free Federal SAVE system to check for illegal aliens in their voter registrations or existing voter rolls.

Software Vendor Fires Back At NJ Governor Over Noncitizen Voting Scandal

New Jersey’s noncitizen voter registration scandal has taken an uncomfortable turn for Gov. Mikie Sherrill, and the vendor she blamed for it is no longer taking the fall quietly.

IDEMIA, the French multinational that has worked with New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle Commission for more than 40 years, is refusing to play the role assigned to it. What the company is now saying about who was responsible for approving registrations undercuts the governor’s account.

Sherrill revealed on Tuesday that more than 6,600 noncitizens ended up on New Jersey’s voter rolls between June 2023 and June 2024, and that fewer than 400 of them cast ballots. The individuals answered “no” when asked on an MVC keypad whether they were U.S. citizens, she said, and “through no fault of their own, the system registered them anyway.” New Jersey has roughly 6.6 million registered voters.

“Let me be clear: this entire situation is unacceptable,” Sherrill said. “It’s unacceptable that the vendor released software with such a glaring error, it’s unacceptable that the MVC took a year to get this issue fixed and it’s unacceptable that no one in the previous administration brought this to light, demanded accountability or took action when it happened years ago.”

The previous administration was that of former Gov. Phil Murphy, also a Democrat.

IDEMIA told a different story. The company disputed the governor’s characterization of its role, saying its software’s function is limited to transmitting data from the MVC to New Jersey’s Division of Elections, which the company says bears ultimate responsibility for verifying voter eligibility.

“IDEMIA works with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, and has for more than 40 years, to support the process through which eligible individuals may indicate their interest in registering to vote when applying for or renewing a driver’s license or state-issued identification card,” the company said in a statement. “IDEMIA’s role is to transmit information through the motor vehicle system. The voter registration information is transmitted to the New Jersey Department of State, Division of Elections, which is ultimately responsible for verifying eligibility to vote. Information submitted by IDEMIA must still be validated and adjudicated by the Division of Elections.”

Sherrill has said New Jersey will phase out the company’s software regardless. She has also ordered the erroneous registrations removed, directed her chief counsel to investigate, and retained an outside firm, CSG Law, to conduct an independent review.

She simultaneously downplayed the severity of the situation and accused the Trump administration of trying to weaponize elections for political gain, saying the president has “zero credibility on the issue of election integrity.”

The White House is all over it. “Democrats and their media allies have repeatedly said it is impossible for noncitizens to register to vote, let alone cast a ballot. Time and again, they have been proven wrong. As President Trump has said, there is nothing more important than the integrity of our elections,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said. “And this latest incident underscores the absolute necessity of the SAVE America Act. American voters deserve to have confidence that our elections are safe and secure.”

New Jersey Joined ERIC System that DOES NOT Report If Person Is a Non-Citizen – Then Illegals Started Voting – 24 States Are NOT Using SAVE System To Verify Illegal Alien Voters!

The recent news of illegal aliens registering in mass in NJ, and then voting, is not a surprise and is almost expected.

New Jersey is one of many States that DO NOT use the free Federal SAVE system to check for illegal aliens in their voter registrations or existing voter rolls.

SAVE is an online service administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that provides immigration status and U.S. citizenship information. SAVE only returns verification information. The decision to register or remove a voter remains with state or local election officials.

As of June 30th, there are 26 states using SAVE for voter-registration or voter-list-maintenance purposes. It processed 198 million cases in 2025.

The remaining 24 states have no public info that their election authority uses SAVE. Most of these 24 states are left-leaning.

New Jersey joined the non-profit ERIC in August of 2022 to help clean their voter rolls. Secretary of State Tahesha Way said, “ERIC is a powerful step to strengthen New Jersey’s elections by increasing our ability to support eligible voters while also improving the accuracy of our voting rolls.”

Obviously, this isn’t working.

Minnesota Democrat AG Keith Ellison Sparks Alarm as He Apparently Reveals His Party’s Scheme to Steal the Midterm Elections

Crooked Minnesota Democrat Attorney General has gone viral for apparently saying the quiet part out loud regarding the Democrats’ scheme to obtain power at all costs.

While speaking at a rally in Minneapolis on Monday for far-left Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, who is running for the Senate, Ellison seemed to reveal the Democrats’ game plan to seize the midterms.

Ellison bragged that not only were Democrats going to get every person who was not old enough to vote in 2024, but also those who were not naturalized citizens.

This later admission appears to suggest that he either wants even non-naturalized citizens to vote this time or to grant people citizenship in exchange for votes.

Ellison also bragged that the Democrats would win over every voter who sat out the Presidential election.

Thousands Of Noncitizens Registered To Vote In New Jersey, Governor Admits

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill said a software error in the state’s Motor Vehicle Commission system resulted in roughly 6,600 people who indicated they were not U.S. citizens being registered to vote between June 2023 and June 2024.

Sherrill said in a statement that the individuals answered “no” when asked on a keypad whether they were U.S. citizens while applying for driver’s licenses or identification cards, but were registered because of a software error.

According to the governor, a preliminary analysis found that fewer than 400 individuals who were newly registered because of the error voted. She said those voters were registered as Democrats, Republicans, and unaffiliated voters and were located throughout the state.

The governor said the issue occurred under the previous administration. She said she has directed her chief counsel to investigate what happened and ordered election officials to remove any residents who were erroneously added to the voter rolls during that period.

In a press conference, the governor said the error was fixed in June 2024, but she learned about it recently.

Sherrill also said the Motor Vehicle Commission administrator she appointed has begun replacing the vendor responsible for administering the system.

Sherrill said she was “appalled” by what she described as failures that allowed the error to occur and said those responsible would be held accountable.

She also accused the Trump administration of attempting to “weaponize elections for political gain.”

The White House said in an email to The Epoch Times that the New Jersey error highlights the need to pass the SAVE America Act, which Republicans say is necessary to ensure election integrity.

“Democrats and their media allies have repeatedly said it is impossible for noncitizens to register to vote, let alone cast a ballot. Time and again, they have been proven wrong,” White House Spokeswoman Abigail Jackson stated.

“As President [Donald] Trump has said, there is nothing more important than the integrity of our elections. And this latest incident underscores the absolute necessity of the SAVE America Act. American voters deserve to have confidence that our elections are safe and secure – President Trump will never stop fighting to make that happen and all patriotic Americans should join in his effort.”

The governor said the state would continue taking steps to ensure that only eligible citizens vote and that lawful votes are counted.

DHS allows officers to review visa applicants’ use of welfare programs while considering permanent status qualification

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a final rule overturning a 2022 regulation from former President Joe Biden’s administration to allow immigration officers to consider an applicant’s use of welfare programs to determine if they qualify for permanent legal citizenship.

In a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) news release on Thursday, the DHS held that the decision will better align immigration law with “Congressional intent that aliens in the United States be self-reliant and not dependent on taxpayer-funded government benefits.”

Furthermore, under the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), a person applying for a visa, admission, or adjustment of status is ineligible “because of the likelihood of becoming a public charge.”

“With this final rule, USCIS officers are empowered to assess all pertinent facts on a case-by-case basis for each applicant,” the DHS stated.

“The Trump administration is upholding the rule of law and protecting American taxpayers from subsidizing aliens who may become dependent on public benefits. USCIS is committed to safeguarding the safety, security, and financial well-being of Americans,” said USCIS spokesperson Zach Kahler. 

The rule will be effective on September 18th. A revised version of Form I-485, used to apply for permanent residence or adjust one’s status, will be released. The new version of the form will be required after the effective date.

The new policy could impact hundreds of thousands of migrants seeking green cards every year from inside the U.S., as well as deter migrant households from applying for taxpayer-funded social programs, such as Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
