BACKFIRE: Democrats Pounce on Trump After Seeing Report About Mexican Girl Facing Active Deportation Despite Suffering from a Rare and Fatal Disease…Then the Full Story Emerges

Democrats once again fell flat on their faces while trying to smear the Trump Administration as evil and barbaric after learning about a tragic story involving a little girl from Mexico suffering a rare and deadly medical condition.

The narrative pushed by the corporate media is that a critically ill four-year-old girl named Sofia Vargas, who is originally from Mexico, has been ordered to leave America immediately. Her family’s ‘legal’ immigration status was revoked earlier this month for unclear reasons.

Sofia suffers from short bowel syndrome, which occurs when a person’s small intestine is shortened or damaged. This condition makes it incredibly difficult to absorb sufficient nutrients from food to maintain health. It affects only 10,000 to 20,000 people in America.

Sofia requires at least 14 hours of intravenous nutrition per day to prevent possible death.

The Vargas family entered America under the Biden regime’s CBP One app in July 2023 and were granted humanitarian parole for the purpose of seeking medical treatment for Sofia.

“They received a subsequent notice weeks later, and a third notice in May verifying that they are no longer in lawful status and are now vulnerable to deportation,” Gina Amato, directing attorney of the Immigrants Rights Project at Public Counsel, whined during a press conference on Wednesday. “The notices also ordered the family to leave the United States immediately.”

Several Democratic officials and activists promptly pounced on the story, calling Trump sick among other hateful things.

Sending Vargas back to Mexico would almost certainly result in her death, considering her native country’s poor health care system. But this is not happening.

An official from the DHS revealed in a statement to The Independent that Sofia is not only not being actively deported but her family’s application for humanitarian parole is still under consideration.

Declassified FBI memo sheds new light on Clinton’s fingerprints, cash on Trump-Russia probe

Anewly declassified FBI memo detailing the findings of its probe into Fusion GPS contractor Nellie Ohr about the veracity of her testimony to Congress delivers new details about the Hillary Clinton campaign’s fingerprints on the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation. The New York Post reported that Ohr, the wife of a former Justice Department official, gave “demonstrably false” testimony to Congress about her involvement in drafting and disseminating the since-debunked dossiers.

The memo was released on Wednesday by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and shows the bureau assessed that Nellie Ohr likely lied to Congress in her testimony about the genesis of the infamous Steele Dossier, her interactions with Justice Department officials, and knowledge of the Trump-Russia probe, known inside the government as “Crossfire Hurricane.” 

Ohr denied knowledge of DOJ probe under oath

Nellie Ohr was a researcher and analyst doing work for Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm hired by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign to conduct anti-Trump opposition research. That firm eventually hired disgraced British ex-spy Christopher Steele, who produced the infamous Steele Dossier and other fictional material that provided the ostensible basis for Biden’s Justice Department to probe Trump.

Ohr originally told congressional investigators in October 2018, that she had no knowledge of the Justice Department’s investigations into the Trump-Russia connection, but several key facts uncovered by the FBI’s probe could spell trouble. The memo shows that she shared investigative materials from her Fusion GPS work with her husband, Bruce Ohr, who worked at the Justice Department; and that she acknowledged the investigation in her own emails.

The memo also pointed out the textual similarity between her Fusion GPS research and the official investigation, and disclosed a joint meeting with her DOJ-official husband and Christopher Steele. 

Aside from Nellie Ohr’s work for Fusion GPS, which has long been the subject of congressional investigations and media attention, the declassified memo also shows more extensive Clinton campaign fingerprints on the origins of the collision investigation, with Fusion GPS being the coordinating hub of a multipronged effort to spread Russia collusion allegations to the FBI. Politico reported in 2017 that according to unnamed sources, The Democratic National Committee and Marc Elias, a lawyer for Hillary Clinton who represented the DNC and the Clinton campaign and hired Fusion GPS, helped bankroll research that led to the now-infamous dossier.

Anti-Trump Defense IT Specialist Arrested For Attempting to Provide Classified Information to Foreign Government Because He Did Not “Agree or Align with the Values of This Administration”

An anti-Trump IT specialist the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) was arrested on Thursday for attempting to provide classified national defense information to a foreign government.

According to the DOJ, Nathan Vilas Laatsch, 28, of Alexandria, Virginia, was arrested on Thursday in northern Virginia, and will make his initial court appearance in the Eastern District of Virginia on Friday.

The Justice Department said Laatsch offered to transmit classified information to the foreign government because he did not “agree or align with the values of this administration” and was therefore “willing to share classified information” that he had access to, including “completed intelligence products, some unprocessed intelligence, and other assorted classified documentation.”

Per the Justice Department:

According to court documents, Laatsch became a civilian employee of the DIA in 2019, where he works with the Insider Threat Division and holds a Top Secret security clearance. In March 2025, the FBI commenced an operation after receiving a tip that an individual — now known to be Laatsch — offered to provide classified information to a friendly foreign government. In that email, the sender wrote that he did not “agree or align with the values of this administration” and was therefore “willing to share classified information” that he had access to, including “completed intelligence products, some unprocessed intelligence, and other assorted classified documentation.”

After multiple communications with an FBI agent — who Laatsch allegedly believed to be an official of the foreign government — Laatsch began transcribing classified information to a notepad at his desk and, over the course of approximately three days, repeatedly exfiltrated the information from his workspace. Laatsch subsequently confirmed to the FBI agent that he was prepared to transmit the information.

Thereafter, the FBI implemented an operation at a public park in northern Virginia, where Laatsch believed he would deposit the classified information for the foreign government to retrieve. On or about May 1, 2025, FBI surveillance observed Laatsch proceed to the specified location and deposit an item. Following Laatsch’s departure, the FBI retrieved the item, which was a thumb drive later found to contain a message from Laatsch and multiple typed documents, each containing information that was portion-marked up to the Secret or Top Secret levels. The message from Laatsch indicated that he had chosen to include “a decent sample size” of classified information to “decently demonstrate the range of types of products” to which he had access.

After receiving confirmation that the thumb drive had been received, on May 7, Laatsch allegedly sent a message to the FBI agent, which indicated Laatsch was seeking something from the foreign government in return for continuing to provide classified information. The next day, Laatsch specified that he was interested in “citizenship for your country” because he did not “expect[] things here to improve in the long term.” Although he said he was “not opposed to other compensation,” he was not in a position where he needed to seek “material compensation.”

Former CNN Reporter Shocked as Tesla Vandalized—But Not by MAGA Supporters

Former CNN reporter Chris Cillizza revealed that his Tesla was vandalized during a weekend soccer tournament, which included a handwritten sign accusing Elon Musk of being a Nazi.

Cillizza’s vehicle was vandalized while he was attending his son’s game.

“So this is the first time I’ve experienced the sort of politics of Elon Musk and Tesla,” Cillizza wrote on his Substack newsletter.

Cillizza explained that when he initially bought the car, he was more concerned that MAGA supporters might vandalize it due to its strong association with progressive values.

“The big concern I had—because this was the big thing that was happening—was sort of pro-MAGA people keying the car or smashing it…because America is about, like, real engines, not electric cars,” he said.

“That was the perception back then, right? It was like you’re coding yourself as, like, an enviro-liberal-wacko-communist if you bought a Tesla.”

However, Cillizza was forced to admit it was not conservatives who ultimately targeted his vehicle.

“It is amazing to me that five-ish years on, I am getting this on my car because Elon Musk has now become sort of persona non grata for the non-MAGA crowd,” he said.

Musk’s endorsement of President Donald Trump has made him a target in progressive circles that once championed Tesla as a symbol of green innovation.

Cillizza acknowledged the brand’s shift in public perception, recalling a similar cultural backlash he received after tweeting about eating at Chick-fil-A.

“I hope the hate tastes good,” was one of the responses he said he received at the time.

Despite progressive criticism, Chick-fil-A ranked 26th in this year’s Axios/Harris poll, well ahead of Tesla.

Three Judges Blocking Trump’s Tariffs Have Decades-Long Histories of Democrat Activism

The judges on the U.S. Court of International Trade who ruled that President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs are illegal have a history of Democrat Party activism.

Each of the members of the three-judge panel issuing the Wednesday ruling – which was stayed Thursday by an appeals court, allowing the tariffs to continue – fit the profile of other activists judges who continued their political activism after joining the court.

Judges Gary Katzmann, Timothy Reif, and Jane Restani have histories of supporting Democrat candidates that span as far back as 45 years ago and have thwarted Trump’s authority in both of his administrations, earning allegations of judicial activism.

Trump teed off on the judges Thursday night on Truth Social. “Where do these initial three Judges come from?” he asked. “How is it possible for them to have potentially done such damage to the United States of America? Is it purely a hatred of “TRUMP?” What other reason could it be?”

Katzmann, nominated by Barack Obama in 2015, attended Columbia, Oxford, and Yale Law School and later clerked for Stephen Breyer (while Breyer was on the First Circuit Court of Appeals). He was a researcher at the Center for Criminal Justice at Harvard Law School as well as a lecturer at Harvard Law School.

Although Katzmann is a registered unaffiliated voter in Massachusetts, he voted in the 2018, 2016, and 2014 Democrat primaries.

Nellie Ohr, Justice Department official’s wife, perjured herself with ‘demonstrably false’ Trump-Russia testimony: bombshell FBI records

The wife of a former Justice Department official gave “demonstrably false” testimony to Congress about her involvement in drafting and disseminating since-debunked dossiers about Donald Trump’s purported collusion with Russia in 2016, according to a bombshell trove of internal FBI records released Wednesday by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).

Nellie Ohr worked for research firm Fusion GPS when it was hired in the lead-up to the 2016 election to dig up dirt on the Trump campaign’s alleged links to Russian organized crime — but later told a House panel she did not know about the DOJ’s parallel investigation into the matter.

Evidence assembled by the FBI indicates that Ohr helped compile two dossiers — including the notorious file pushed by former MI6 agent Christopher Steele — that helped launch the bureau’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation.

The Fusion GPS research repeated errors or included information similar to that discovered later in the Steele dossier.

Ohr also sent emails — some of which she later deleted — directly to DOJ prosecutors, not all of whom she admitted to interacting with in subsequent congressional testimony.

Nothing In AP’s Presidential Records Act Hit Piece On Trump Is True

On May 20, the Associated Press published an article titled “The future of history: Trump could leave less documentation behind than any previous U.S. president.” As a federal records management consultant with more than 25 years of experience supporting White House and agency records management at all levels of the government, I can assure you nothing in this article is even remotely true. 

Let’s begin with the article’s opening claim: “For generations, official American documents have been meticulously preserved and protected … safeguarding snapshots of the government and the nation for posterity.” While this may have been true decades ago when almost all government records were maintained on paper, it has not been true in the digital age.

Both the Presidential Records Act (PRA) and the Federal Records Act (FRA) require records born digitally to be managed through each phase of their lifecycle — creation, distribution, use, maintenance, and disposition — in their native electronic formats. These records must be maintained in systems that ensure their integrity, authenticity, and provenance, and apply an archivist of the United States-approved retention schedule that prevents their premature destruction by anyone. 

Over the course of my career, I have supported the management of billions of electronic government records. During that time, I have never seen a single White House or agency electronic record managed through its lifecycle in compliance with the PRA or the FRA. Not one. The government claims to be doing it, but they are not. 

Though this may be hard to believe, it is demonstrably true. It is also something I am willing to swear to under oath. The Associated Press’s claim that the government has “meticulously preserved and protected” federal records in the past is simply not true. 

The article also asserts that the Trump administration “sought to expand the executive branch’s power to shield from public view key administration initiatives” by utilizing apps like Signal, which can “auto-delete messages containing sensitive information rather than retaining them for record-keeping.”

However, the article fails to note that Signal’s auto-delete feature is optional and can be turned off. Moreover, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) approved Signal for government use under General Records Schedule 6.1 during the Biden administration. It is also not the president’s job to manage the lifecycle of White House electronic messages in compliance with the PRA. That work is delegated to the White House Office of Records Management (WHORM), which is part of the Executive Office of the President and operates under the Office of Administration.

The article further claims that the FBI raid on President Trump’s Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, was due to the president’s refusal to return classified records to the National Archives. But NARA had no right to claim ownership of the paper printouts of the electronic records that the president stored at his estate.

Propaganda Press Rediscovers Its Outrage Over Presidential Pardons

Apparently, the propaganda press has rediscovered its outrage over presidential pardons — now that President Donald Trump is issuing them. After watching then-President Joe Biden hand out pardons, clemency, and commutations like they were candy, the left-wing media have finally found their missing pearls to clutch.

Trump pardoned reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, who had a combined sentence of 19 years for what pardon czar Alice Marie Johnson called a “first-time nonviolent offense.” The duo was found “guilty of eight counts of financial fraud and two counts of tax evasion in 2022,” Fox News reported. Trump also issued a pardon to former New York Congressman Michael Grimm, who served seven months in prison after he pled guilty “to underreporting taxable revenue from his Manhattan restaurant Healthalicious,” according to the New York Post. Trump also pardoned rapper “NBA YoungBoy” and former Connecticut Gov. John Rowland.


ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl said in a post on X: “Donald Trump is using his pardon power early and often — And there’s a clear trend: many of his pardons are going to his supporters and political allies.”

CNN’s Aaron Blake wrote: “‘No MAGA left behind’: Trump’s pardons get even more political.”

Blake continued: “If you look closely at how Trump’s used his pardon power — which he has exercised dramatically this week, with a slew of new pardons and commutations on Wednesday alone — it’s virtually impossible to miss the political overtones. Many of Trump’s acts of clemency have rewarded an ally or someone tied to an ally, or they have served a clear and not terribly subtle political purpose.”

MSNBC’s Frank Figliuzzi wrote that “Trump’s pardons show he is becoming more brazenly corrupt.” Figliuzzi appealed to the precedent of giving pardons “as a president [is] leaving office,” citing a “legal expert” who said that pardons can be “costly.”

“Not anymore,” Figliuzzi wrote, apparently angered that Trump issued a pardon while president instead of doing it “quietly” on his way out the door.

Politico’s Gregory Svirnovskiy claimed that Trump was on a “clemency spree.”

But a cursory Google search seemingly reveals that for all the hand-wringing about Trump exercising his executive authority to grant pardons and clemency, media figures like Svirnovskiy and Figliuzzi were nowhere to be found when Biden was issuing his preemptive pardons — or pardons he issued to his family members before leaving office. (Notably, Biden didn’t just issue political and family allies, either. He also quietly commuted the sentences of Chinese spies and a Chinese national convicted of child pornography.) Blake gently questioned the scope of the Hunter Biden pardon, but he made sure to include critiques of Trump’s first term grants of clemency.

New Docs Reveal How FBI Insiders Buried Evidence Of Spygate Crimes

Nellie Ohr isn’t a new name in the Russiagate saga, but newly released documents from Sen. Chuck Grassley’s office shatter the fiction that she was just a low-level researcher and reveal her as a key conduit between Clinton operatives, the DOJ, and the FBI. The documents also pull back the curtain on a darker truth: an internal black hole FBI system designed not just to restrict access to sensitive Russiagate documents, but to bury them so completely that even FBI agents tasked with finding them wouldn’t know they existed.

What was already known about Nellie Ohr is that she worked for Fusion GPS — an opposition research firm led by former Wall Street Journal reporters Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch — who were hired by the Clinton campaign in April 2016 to manufacture the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. At the same time, her husband, Bruce Ohr, was a senior official at the Department of Justice. It was also known that Nellie Ohr gathered open-source information on various figures, including Trump campaign advisor Carter Page, which was then twisted to fit the collusion narrative. What was not known — until now — is just how deeply involved she was in the Trump-Russia collusion smear, how brazenly she lied to cover it up, and how the FBI actively aided in the cover-up.

According to the newly released document from Sen. Grassley’s office, a previously unseen 43-page FBI analysis from 2019, Nellie Ohr was involved in many aspects of the Russia collusion hoax, including in the drafting of the Steele Dossier. The FBI analysis was initiated after then-Congressman Mark Meadows filed a criminal referral, alleging that Ohr had lied to Congress during her 2018 testimony about her role in producing supposed research that helped trigger the Trump-Russia investigation. Meadows had good reason to be suspicious.

As the analysis concluded, Nellie Ohr repeatedly lied under oath. The FBI found that despite her denials, she contributed directly to the writing of the Steele Dossier. One telling clue was an identical analytical error that appeared both in her research and in the dossier itself. Even more damning, the FBI recovered a deleted “FSB report” from a thumb drive which Fusion owner Simpson had given to Bruce Ohr to give to the FBI in December 2016. That same fictitious report had already appeared as part of the dossier given to the FBI by Steele two months earlier, in October 2016. The FSB report bore all the hallmarks of Nellie Ohr’s work, which likely explains why Simpson, or whoever created the thumb drive, deleted the report just four minutes after uploading it, before eventually giving it to Bruce Ohr to pass to the FBI. What they didn’t realize was that what they tried to hide was still recoverable.

It’s long been suspected that former British intelligence agent turned Clinton operative Christopher Steele’s role wasn’t to generate the dossier’s content himself but to act as a cutout, lending British intelligence credibility to stories manufactured by Fusion GPS operatives and Clinton campaign affiliates. That part of the operation was wildly successful. To this day, many still believe it was Steele who wrote the dossier’s stories, when in reality, he was just the frontman.

FBI Releases Bombshell Crossfire Hurricane Documents

True to his word, FBI Director Kash Patel on Wednesday released a bombshell series of documents detailing, for the first time, many of the lengths to which agents went to investigate baseless collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russian officials to influence the election.

The batch, released by Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on Wednesday, contains exhaustive requests by the FBI’s Washington office sent to the Office of the Special Counsel for information about testimony by Nellie Ohr, a Russian specialist who is believed to have played a formative role in creating the false Steele dossier.

Dated Sep. 18, 2019, the office headed by former Director Christopher Wray wrote Special Counsel Robert Mueller asking for materials to determine whether to open a criminal investigation into Ohr, the wife of former Justice Department official Bruce Ohr who President Donald Trump has long accused of disseminating information to the political firm which created the Steele dossier.

Previous Republican-led investigations into Nellie Ohr concluded that she may have provided false testimony while describing her work with Christopher Steele, a former British spy who was hired by a Clinton campaign sub-vendor named Fusion GPS.

The new documents state that members of the FBI were initially rebuffed by Mueller’s special counsel office, hindering their ability to prosecute Nellie Ohr at the time.

“On May 31, 2019, D5-POST SCO TEAM advised that some but not all of the cases related to Trump/Russian-collusion had been migrated from Prohibited status to Restricted Access status so that investigators might have the opportunity to identify potentially relevant Restricted Access serials,” the Washington office wrote summarizing the interaction.

However, the sheer volume of searches needed to complete the investigation, combined with the lack of FBI manpower or help from the Special Counsel’s Office, left the FBI in a lurch and without evidence to carry on a prosecution.

Agents “remain incapable of identifying potentially relevant serials in those cases that remained in ‘Prohibited Access’ status,” authors added.

Ohr in 2016 was employed by Fusion GPS, which was hired by the Clinton campaign to explore connections between candidate Trump and Russia. Her marriage to Bruce Ohr, who was currently serving in the Obama Justice Department at the time, became the subject of scrutiny following Trump’s successful election.

Wray, a Trump appointee, later fell out of favor after the president accused him of doing too little to bring charges in the Russiagate case. He resigned shortly before President Trump took office again in 2025.

Evidence in the documents reportedly show that Nellie Ohr shared some of her political research with associates of her husband, contradicting her sworn testimony.
