Trump Taps 29-Year Vet Lance Schroyer to Lead ICE

Trump nominates 29-year law enforcement vet Lance Schroyer to lead ICE

President Trump said Saturday that he has nominated Lance Schroyer to serve as the next ICE Director. Schroyer is a former Oklahoma State Trooper and a United States Marine. The pick would put a long-time law enforcement figure in one of the most closely watched immigration jobs in Washington.

The nomination also stands out because ICE has gone 11 years without a Senate-confirmed director. That is a long stretch for an agency that sits at the center of the immigration fight. If Schroyer gets through the Senate, he would inherit a job built around arrests, removals, and coordination with state and local police.

Trump praised Schroyer’s background and said he has real hands-on experience. In his statement, Trump said, “I am very pleased to announce that I have nominated Lance Schroyer to be our next ICE Director.”

Schroyer’s résumé is heavy on street-level policing. Trump said he has over 29 years of law enforcement experience in Oklahoma, and that he has worked on 287(g) partnerships with ICE. Those partnerships let local agencies work more directly with federal immigration authorities, which is exactly the kind of setup the administration has been leaning on.

Markwayne Mullin also backed the move. “With over 29 years of law enforcement experience, Lance will play a vital role in helping deliver on the President’s mandate from the American people to target, arrest, and deport illegal aliens,” Mullin said.

Florida Budget 2026-27

DeSantis Signs Final State Budget of His Administration

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed Florida’s $117.6 billion budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year, approving a spending plan that he said reduces state spending for the fourth consecutive year.

The final budget comes after nearly $810 million in line-item vetoes and covers the fiscal year that begins today, July 1. It is the final full state budget of DeSantis’ administration.

Some of the highlights:

The plan directs $30 billion to K-12 public schools, raising per-student funding to $9,338, or $150 more than the current year. It also includes $1.56 billion for salary increases for teachers and other instructional personnel, $1.65 billion for early childhood education and $290 million for school safety.

Environmental spending includes $1.2 billion for Everglades restoration and water quality projects. That total includes $665 million for Everglades restoration, $396 million for targeted water quality improvements, $150 million for Florida Forever, $64 million for beach nourishment and $425 million for the Rural and Family Lands Protection Program.

For public safety, the budget includes $19.8 million for sworn state law enforcement pay increases, $20 million for the Law Enforcement Recruitment Bonus Program and $15 million for the State Assistance for Fentanyl Eradication Program.

Trump Targets Gas Prices

Trump Demands Gasoline Retailers Lower Prices, Warns of ‘Big Problems’ If They Don’t

President Trump demanded Monday that gasoline retailers cut prices immediately as crude oil costs continue falling. The president urged stations to start targeting gas around $2.50 a gallon and warned that “big problems” could follow if prices stay too high.

President Trump issued the warning in a Truth Social post. He said gasoline prices are too high compared with the current price of oil.

“Gasoline Retailers must get their Prices down, IMMEDIATELY!” Trump wrote. He said oil is now around $68 a barrel and “heading south.” Trump argued that lower crude prices should quickly translate into lower prices at the pump.

Birthright Citizenship 6/3

‘MEDIEVAL’: Justices Thomas, Alito Argue ‘Birthright Citizenship’ Ruling Reverses the Declaration of Independence on Its 250th Anniversary

Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito tore into the court’s majority for imposing a “medieval” rule on “birthright citizenship” that negates the spirit of the Declaration of Independence, days before the 250th anniversary of America’s founding document.

Both justices issued dissenting opinions in Trump v. Barbara (2026), in which the court’s 6-3 majority upheld the notion of “birthright citizenship,” that any baby born on U.S. soil—regardless of his parents’ immigration status—is a citizen.

Thomas said the court’s majority in Trump v. Barbera (2026) presented a legal argument that was “not historically accurate.”

“American citizenship, the court says, was based on a medieval English ‘feudal’ principle, according to which each person ‘owed personal service to the lord of the soil’ as his ‘master’—a perpetual servitude that was ‘born with the child and only ended in the grave,’” he summarized. According to the court’s majority, Americans adopted the feudal principle and Congress codified it in the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment.

Alito, for his part, cautioned that “before saddling the nation with a medieval rule, we had better be certain the Constitution requires it.”

He warned that the court’s decision confers citizenship on “birth tourists,” the children of women who travel to the United States just to give birth.

The solution:
Stop the selective enforcement of laws against illegal immigration, disallow sanctuary cities, and get rid of the "anchor baby" situation by correctly interpreting the 14th Amendment. Enforce laws against employees who hire illegal labor, and allow no government entitlements to illegal entrants to this country.

Antifa extremists and their supporters are urging one another to assassinate the Texas federal judges who handed lengthy prison sentences to their convicted terrorist comrades.

Andy Ngo’s report shows the mask slipping again. After federal judges in Texas handed down serious sentences in the first federal Antifa terrorism case, far-left extremists and supporters responded with threats, doxxing language, lynching references, assassination memes, and calls for more anti-government violence.

This is not protest. This is intimidation directed at the judiciary. The same media class that spent years calling Antifa “an idea” now has to explain why that “idea” keeps producing armed ambushes, terror convictions, and death threats against judges.

The rule of law cannot survive selective outrage.[Andy Ngo]

UCLA offering a program on Immigrant Rights

UCLA Fellowship Prioritizes Undocumented Applicants for $7,000 Stipend

According to Campus Reform, “The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is offering students a $7,000 stipend through its ‘Dream Summer’ fellowship, a summer program that trains participants in immigrant rights advocacy and social justice activism.”

The program is not just about training. It is also about who gets in. The fellowship website says, “We strongly encourage and prioritize applications from undocumented applicants who identify as LGBTQIA+, Black, API, and/or Indigenous, as well as other individuals directly impacted by the immigration system.”

That wording is likely to raise questions for a lot of people. UCLA is a public university, which means many taxpayers will look at this and ask whether the school is using selective identity-based criteria for a program tied to activism. Supporters may call it outreach. Critics will see a clear preference system built around ideology and identity.

The university describes the fellowship as a program that “positions immigrant youth as agents of change within the immigrant rights movement” and “empowers immigrant youth to become the next generation of social justice leaders.”

Democrat Socialists Win their Primaries

AOC took her seat in 2018 and the left swore she was a fluke

Now three democratic socialists just swept New York's congressional primaries – and two of them knocked out sitting congressmen. Charlie Kirk saw every bit of this coming, but he just didn't live to see it land.

Kirk was assassinated on a college campus in September 2025 – shot in the neck by a politically motivated gunman while speaking at Utah Valley University in front of 3,000 people. The ideas that just won New York are the same ones he spent his career fighting.

On Tuesday, all three candidates backed by New York's openly socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani won their Democrat congressional primaries.
  • Brad Lander defeated incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman – capturing roughly two-thirds of the vote.
  • Darializa Avila Chevalier knocked out 10-year Rep. Adriano Espaillat, the chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
  •  Claire Valdez won the open seat left by retiring Rep. Nydia Velázquez.

All three will almost certainly win their deep-blue districts in November. Kirk had predicted exactly this.

In 2020, he told reporter Randy DeSoto: "I've told people she's going to multiply in Congress. There are hyper-entitled, clueless millennials that are ready to undo every piece of true progress that our country has made over the last 200 years…"

Ukraine Strikes Russian Oil Refineries Deep Inside Russia

Vladimir Putin admitted that Russia is experiencing “problems” in its war with Ukraine

Kyiv’s drone strikes destroyed more oil depots on Sunday

He made what appeared to be a rare admission of setbacks, commenting on the latest round of Ukraine’s retaliatory strikes on Russia’s energy infrastructure.

The air attacks have intensified with fighting along the front line having largely reached a stalemate, and Russia reportedly suffering 30,000 casualties a month.

“Yes, we see the problems, we are aware of them and are responding to them, but we will certainly ensure the security of both the country and our citizens, as well as the inviolability of Russia’s borders,” Putin said at the congress of United Russia, his ruling party.

Genocide Joe!

Biden Stunned as Crowd Shouts “Genocide Joe!” at Maryland Gala

Joe Biden was heckled while speaking at the Maryland Democratic Party’s gala on Saturday night, and the moment quickly turned awkward. He was in the middle of talking about the Democratic Party and the “story of America” when a woman in the crowd shouted, “Genocide Joe!”

The outburst set off a burst of noise in the room. Loud boos could also be heard as the shouting continued. It was not clear how many people were involved in the protest or whether the crowd was booing Biden, the protesters, or both.

The scene was another reminder of how tense things have become inside the Democratic coalition. Biden was there to rally party loyalists, but the protest showed that not everyone in the room was on board with the message.

Instead of a smooth campaign-style appearance, the night briefly turned into a live reminder of the anger and division hanging over the party.

Texas and Florida - Unprecedented Economic Growth

Texas and Florida are leading in tort reform, Boom Belt success

Texas and Florida are leading in tort reform, bringing more business and economic growth to southern Boom Belt states, the Texas Conservative Coalition Research Institute (TCCRI) and The James Madison Institute (JMI) argue.

TCCRI was founded in 1996 by a group of state leaders determined to implement conservative public policies in state government based on the principles of limited government, individual liberty, free enterprise and traditional values. Florida-based JMI is dedicated to the ideals of limited government, economic freedom, federalism and individual liberty coupled with individual responsibility.

Their new joint report argues, “Texas’ and Florida’s economic dominance is the direct result of multi-decade efforts to create a predictable civil justice environment. These reforms spurred the business investment, population growth, and capital inflows that define the Boom Belt.”

They also argue this competitive edge “is under threat” by trial lawyer organizations. In Florida, the Florida Justice Association is targeting pro-business politicians to unseat in state legislative races, the JMI argues.

In Texas, plaintiff-aligned groups are funding candidates and PACs to weaken reforms the state legislature has implemented, TCCRI argues.

In a major victory for the rule of law and the separation of powers, the Court held that in order for federal officers to remain accountable to the President, those officers “must be removable by the President.”

For nearly ninety years, the Court’s 1935 decision in Humphrey’s Executor has stripped presidents of control over so-called “independent” agencies like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)—allowing unelected bureaucrats to wield executive power without accountability—one of the most damaging precedents in American history.

Article II of the U.S. Constitution establishes that executive power is vested in the President alone. AFL’s brief explained that this case was not about expanding presidential power, but restoring constitutional order. [AmericaFirstLegal]

Iran War Powers Resolution

Senate reverses course on Iran war powers resolution after Trump rallies Republican holdouts

The U.S. Senate handed President Trump a clear win late Wednesday, rejecting a Democratic war powers resolution that would have directed him to withdraw American forces from hostilities with Iran unless Congress authorized the mission.

The procedural motion failed 47-50-1, a sharp reversal from just one day earlier, when four Republican senators had defected to help pass a nearly identical measure.

The turnaround came after Trump met with GOP senators in a closed-door session that multiple outlets described as heated. Within hours, two key Republican holdouts, Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, changed their positions, collapsing the bipartisan coalition that had briefly embarrassed the White House.

The result killed Sen. Tim Kaine's resolution, which would have ordered Trump to "remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran" without congressional authorization.

Had it cleared both chambers, Trump would have needed to veto it. Instead, the measure never got that far.

Democrats don't know what "legal" and "temporary" mean

Democrats unravel after Supreme Court upholds Trump's authority to end Haitian TPS protections

The Supreme Court handed the Trump administration three 6-3 victories on immigration Thursday, and the Democratic response arrived within minutes, loud, emotional, and revealing.

Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus rushed to the microphones to denounce the rulings, accuse the justices of white supremacy, and recast hundreds of thousands of Temporary Protected Status holders as "American families", a rhetorical sleight of hand that tells you everything about where the left stands on the distinction between legal and temporary.
  1. The most consequential of the three decisions, Mullin v. Doe, confirmed that the Trump administration can end TPS for roughly 350,000 Haitians and 6,100 Syrians living in the United States, overturning lower federal court orders that had blocked the termination.
  2. A second ruling, Mullin v. Al Otro Lado, clarified that a migrant who has not physically set foot on U.S. soil is not entitled to apply for asylum and does not have to be inspected by an immigration officer.
  3.  A third, Blanche v. Muk Choi Lau, will make it easier for the Department of Homeland Security to deport green card holders convicted of crimes.
All three decisions came down on the same 6-3 margin. All three restored executive authority that lower courts had stripped away. And all three drew the same furious reaction from Democrats who have spent years treating temporary immigration protections as permanent entitlements.

“The T in TPS stands for temporary Jake!” Mullin said. “We will simply book them on a flight and send them back to Haiti,… and we will give them $2,100 roughly to go back home!”

Woman in Lake Worth Beach forced into Prostitution

Woman came to Florida for cleaning job. She was locked in house and sex trafficked

Two people have been arrested in connection with the crimes

A Peruvian woman who traveled to South Florida from California for a job cleaning vacation homes was instead locked inside a brothel in Lake Worth Beach and sex-trafficked to numerous men, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.

On Thursday, deputies arrested Diana Katherine Chaparro Contreras, 33, and Sandra Luz Peralta Aguilar, 50, on charges of sex trafficking an unauthorized alien, living off the earnings of prostitution, and two counts of keeping a house of ill fame, according to jail records.

The victim told deputies in Spanish that she had been applying for housekeeping jobs on Indeed when she found one that offered $35 an hour, according to a probable cause affidavit. Over the phone, people who identified themselves as the employers behind the listing told her that she would be cleaning vacation homes throughout Palm Beach County and that they would pay for her to fly to Florida for the job.

The victim was persuaded by the money they promised and agreed, arriving at Miami International Airport in February. Once she arrived, her employers told her they would provide her housing. An Uber delivered her to a house in the 1100 block of South M Street in Lake Worth Beach, according to the affidavit.

After being told she would be used for prostitution not for housekeeping...the day she arrived in Lake Worth Beach, the victim was forced to have sex with seven men over the course of six hours. The next day the victim managed to break through the plywood covering her window, climb out, and escape.
