A Guatemalan national received an eight-month federal prison sentence after attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel during an attempted arrest in Massachusetts, according to a Breitbart report. Guido Andres Alexander Cuellar-Batres received his sentence on January 12, which includes one year of supervised release following his incarceration. Federal prosecutors charged him after a violent confrontation with officers attempting to execute his detention. The incident unfolded on May 4, 2025 when immigration enforcement officials conducted a targeted operation. Officers approached Cuellar-Batres in his vehicle and instructed him to exit. He refused compliance and failed to keep his hands where agents could…

President Trump pardoned nearly 1,600 people for offenses related to January 6, 2021 events at the Capitol one year ago, according to the Epoch Times. The controversial blanket clemency covered everyone from unaware trespassers to those who damaged property and fought police. Five former prisoners interviewed described January 6 as severely mischaracterized by media outlets that ignored their personal accounts. While grateful for pardons, all five maintain they were unjustly prosecuted and express no regrets about their actions that day. Dan Leyden, a 58-year-old Chicago union electrician, lost his 24 year career at the Chicago Park District following prosecution. While…
Former President Barack Hussein Obama released a statement Sunday encouraging Americans to embrace Minneapolis street demonstrations against federal immigration enforcement, describing the protests as inspirational despite two fatal shootings connected to the unrest. “Every American should support and draw inspiration from the wave of peaceful protests in Minneapolis,” Obama wrote, characterizing the demonstrations as defensive measures against government overreach. Obama framed the street campaign in language suggesting Americans face fundamental threats to national values. “The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our…
FBI Director Kash Patel stated on Fox News that unruly protesters cannot carry loaded firearms with multiple magazines, which has prompted some push back from gun rights organizations. His January 25 statement came while defending Border Patrol agents who fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis the previous day. “NO ONE who wants to be peaceful shows up at a protest with a firearm that is loaded with two full magazines,” Patel stated, adding categorically that “you cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want.” The remarks immediately drew rebukes from organizations typically…
Ian Andre Roberts, an unlawfully present immigrant who held the position of superintendent for Des Moines Public Schools in Iowa, entered guilty pleas to federal violations involving fraudulent statements made to obtain American employment and illegal firearm possession, Breitbart reports. Federal immigration authorities apprehended Roberts in September 2025 while he operated under an outstanding deportation directive issued by a federal immigration judge in May 2024, according to previous reporting. During the arrest operation, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents discovered $3,000 in currency inside his taxpayer-funded vehicle alongside a hunting blade and a loaded pistol. Roberts assumed leadership of the Des…
Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky,, found himself isolated among House Republicans when he challenged executive authority during a House floor debate over military operations in Venezuela. The legislator who is locked in a feud with President Trump argued that Congress alone possesses authority to authorize military force, regardless of which political party controls the executive branch. The resolution challenging Trump administration war powers ultimately deadlocked in a 215-215 tie, with Massie joining Don Bacon, R-NE, as the only Republicans supporting congressional oversight. His central message resonated clearly throughout the debate when he declared that “our loyalty must be to the Constitution…
Thousands of Minnesotans will participate in a statewide economic strike today, organizers announced earlier this week, in an effort to halt Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations across the state. The coordinated action, branded “A Day of Truth and Freedom,” urges residents to skip work, school, and shopping as federal immigration enforcement intensifies following recent controversial incidents, according to The Oakland Press. Minnesota AFL-CIO, representing over 1,000 affiliated local unions, voted Tuesday to endorse the strike. Officials condemned what they described as unconstitutional detentions affecting numerous innocent residents, including union members. “They are indiscriminately targeting Minnesotans of color, regardless of citizenship…
A cardiologist and professor at the University of Michigan Medical School is publicly supporting his employer’s decision to suspend gender transition procedures for children, citing insufficient scientific evidence and potential long-term health consequences. Dr. Venkatesh Murthy recently authored an essay for Independent Women criticizing the university’s faculty senate after it passed a symbolic resolution demanding that Michigan Medicine reinstate the treatments. The faculty senate includes professors from various university departments, with Murthy emphasizing that many members lack medical credentials and have no connection to the medical school. Michigan Medicine announced last August that it would discontinue administering puberty suppression drugs…
Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Missouri, has intensified his campaign against Optional Practical Training after a Times of India report inadvertently confirmed what America First advocates have warned about for years. The foreign publication’s defensive response to Schmitt’s criticism exposed how international students view American universities not as centers of learning but as employment gateways. “The ‘Times of India’ is coming after me (again) for attacking OPT—our most abused immigration scheme,” Schmitt said. “OPT subsidizes foreign labor, undermines young Americans, creates Visa Mills. OPT was created by executive regulation. It can be ended by executive regulation.” The senator’s concerns align with revelations…
A confrontation between federal transportation authorities and California escalated dramatically Wednesday when Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced his department would withhold roughly $160 million in safety program funding from the state, according to Freight Waves. The penalty stems from California’s refusal to comply with a January 5 deadline demanding cancellation of more than 17,000 commercial truck driver permits that federal officials maintain were improperly granted to foreign truckers. California’s Department of Motor Vehicles declared in late December it would postpone the license revocations until March 6, but the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rejected this timeline extension. “It’s reckoning day…
