Tulsi Gabbard Drops Bombshell: Biden Admin Freed Many ISIS-Linked Illegal Aliens Into U.S.

The Biden administration’s reckless border policies have once again put American lives at risk, as only eight out of more than 100 migrants with suspected ISIS ties were locked up or deported after illegally crossing into the U.S.

That’s the shocking revelation from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who exposed the alarming failure during a border visit on Wednesday, as The New York Post reported.

Now, the Trump administration is being forced to clean up the mess, working to track down the terror-linked migrants who were set loose under Biden’s watch.

Gabbard joined Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth at Eagle Pass, Texas, where they detailed the catastrophe left behind by the previous administration.

Gabbard revealed that the migrants in question hail from Central Asian nations known for ISIS recruitment. They were linked to an ISIS-affiliated smuggling network—and yet, the Biden team did next to nothing about it.

Even more disturbing, federal officials knew that over 4,000 migrants had used ISIS-linked smugglers to cross the border, and that hundreds were identified as terrorists or associates of known terrorists.

But instead of taking swift action, the Biden administration allowed nearly all of them to roam free. She stated that when she took over, she found that only eight of those migrants had either been deported or remained in custody.

Gabbard slammed the previous administration for its failure to protect the homeland:

“That information was provided to the Biden Administration. You may remember in some of the news a little over one hundred of those people were arrested in 2024. Of those who were arrested, only eight were either deported or remained in custody.”

Then came the chilling question: Where are the rest?

“Only eight, the rest of them were released back into our country. Where are they? What are they doing? What may they be plotting? This is just the beginning.”

While Biden and his team ignored national security threats, President Trump’s leadership is already reversing the damage.

During their visit, Vance praised Trump’s rapid action to secure the border, noting that illegal crossings are now at their lowest levels in recorded history.

Eagle Pass, once a hotspot for unchecked migration, has seen daily crossings plummet from 1,500 to just 30—all without new laws or endless D.C. debates.

“It turns out we didn’t need new laws, we didn’t need fancy legislation, we just needed a new president of the United States,” Vance declared.

Hegseth agreed but made it clear: there’s still work to do. He emphasized the administration’s commitment to achieving full “operational control” over the border, ensuring that the disastrous policies of the past never return.

While Biden’s failures left America vulnerable, Trump’s leadership is restoring law and order. But with ISIS-linked migrants still unaccounted for, the question remains: How much danger did the last administration leave behind?

ICE Raids Target “Worst of the Worst” Despite DNC-Linked Sabotage

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem led Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Northern Virginia on Tuesday morning as part of a two-day effort to target illegal alien gang members in the Washington, D.C., suburbs.

The raids were carried out in coordination with multiple federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

The operation focused on apprehending members of criminal organizations such as MS-13 and the 18th Street Gang, as well as individuals with prior convictions for violent or sexual crimes.

Despite a leak of the raid details by Vanity Fair congressional reporter Pablo Manriquez—who also appeared to provide guidance to potential targets on how to evade capture—Noem made it clear that the enforcement actions would not be disrupted.

Following the raids, Noem issued a statement reinforcing her department’s commitment to enforcing immigration laws.

Karoline Leavitt’s One-Word Takedown of Trump-Russia “Garbage Reporting”

A recent report circulating in the media suggests that the Trump administration no longer considers Russia a major cybersecurity threat.

The claim, based on an alleged memo from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), has drawn sharp criticism from officials at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), who have called it “garbage.”

The Guardian reported that a memo from CISA, which operates under DHS, outlined new cybersecurity priorities that focused on China and protecting local systems but did not mention Russia.

The report also cited an anonymous source claiming that analysts at the agency were verbally instructed not to follow or report on Russian cyber threats, despite Russia having previously been a primary focus.

The source further alleged that cybersecurity personnel cuts within the agency had weakened U.S. defenses, stating, “Russia and China are our biggest adversaries. With all the cuts being made to different agencies, a lot of cybersecurity personnel have been fired. Our systems are not going to be protected, and our adversaries know this.”

The report also included the claim, “People are saying Russia is winning. Putin is on the inside now.”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to the report, calling it “unbelievable.”

Other officials have also dismissed the claims, emphasizing that the memo in question was not produced by the Trump administration.

The allegations come amid longstanding media narratives linking Trump to Russia, many of which have been debunked in recent years.

Critics argue that the latest report follows the same pattern, attempting to reignite controversy over Trump’s approach to Russia despite a lack of verifiable evidence.

The Guardian has acknowledged its left-leaning perspective in past reporting, and while it often covers stories overlooked by U.S. outlets, this latest claim has been met with skepticism.

Some have drawn comparisons to past incidents where media outlets ran with documents or reports later found to be unreliable.

As of now, there has been no official confirmation of the memo’s authenticity, and DHS officials have categorically rejected the notion that the Trump administration instructed agencies to ignore Russian cyber threats.

F-16 Fighter Jets Scrambled Over Mar-a-Lago After Planes Violate Trump Airspace

Three civilian aircraft violated restricted airspace over Palm Beach, Florida, near President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, prompting North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) to scramble F-16 fighter jets, according to Newsmax host Todd Starnes.

The incidents occurred at 11:05 a.m., 12:10 p.m., and 12:50 p.m., based on Starnes’ reporting.

During two of the interceptions, the fighter jets deployed flares as part of their protocol to warn and direct the civilian aircraft. All three planes were escorted safely out of the restricted airspace.

MTG Blows the Lid Off USAID as Democrat Slush Fund—Dem Rep Loses It

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), chair of the House Oversight Committee’s DOGE Subcommittee, led a hearing on Wednesday titled “America Last: How Foreign Aid Undermined U.S. Interests Around the World.”

The hearing focused on allegations that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been used to advance political agendas rather than serving American interests abroad.

In her opening remarks, Greene accused USAID of being “weaponized” to undermine U.S. priorities.

“The Democrat-run USAID should not get to use our federal government, our US taxpayer dollars as their party piggy bank to push their radical agenda in countries that we have no business giving money to,” Greene said.

She also noted that 96% of USAID employee political contributions go to Democratic candidates or PACs.

She further claimed that USAID has been turned into “an America-last foreign aid slush fund to prop up extremist groups, implement censorship campaigns, and interfere in foreign elections to force regime change around the world.”

James Carville Mocks Americans Fighting for Women’s Sports: “These F**king Idiots”

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville made it abundantly clear he couldn’t care less about protecting female athletes, brushing off the issue with his usual brand of smug indifference.

In a Monday video, Carville scoffed at efforts to keep biological males out of women’s sports, saying he doesn’t “understand” or even care about the debate, as reported by The Daily Caller.

Democratic strategist James Carville gives a speech on Friday, June 17, 2022, during Big Dem Weekend at Indianapolis Convention Center in Indianapolis James Carville Mb 15

Protecting women’s athletics has become a top priority for conservatives, with President Donald Trump signing an executive order on Feb. 5 to prevent biological males from infiltrating female sports teams.

While Republicans stand firm on fairness in competition, Carville mocked the entire debate, dismissing it as unworthy of serious attention.

“And, you know, whenever this topic comes up, say, ‘Look, I’m sorry. I just don’t think a lot about track meets. I think a lot about people having affordable health care. I think a lot about how we can grow America. I think a lot about that they’re not going to be able to pass a debt limit, not even close, much less reconciliation, anything else.’”

He then, in typical Carville fashion, wrapped up his rant with a bit of profanity-laced mockery.

“And, okay, I’ve had a little fun here. I love to have fun. I love to mock and make fun of these f**king idiots.”

Pete Hegseth Shuts Down Reporter’s Low Blow at Lt. Gen. Dan Caine

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made headlines Monday after swiftly shutting down a reporter’s question regarding President Donald Trump’s nomination of Air Force Lieutenant General Dan “Razin” Caine to replace General Charles “CQ” Brown as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The exchange took place at the Pentagon during a meeting with Saudi Arabia’s Defense Minister, Prince Khalid bin Salman.

During the press briefing, a reporter challenged Hegseth on Caine’s qualifications, asking, “Why did you select an underqualified retired lieutenant general to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff?”

Hegseth wasted no time dismissing the premise of the question. “I’m going to choose to reject your unqualified question. Who’s next?” he responded, moving on to the next topic.

President Trump announced his decision to replace Brown and nominate Caine as his successor on Friday.

The announcement was made on Truth Social, where Trump thanked Brown for his four decades of service before introducing his choice for the next leader of the Joint Chiefs.

“I want to thank General Charles ‘CQ’ Brown for his over 40 years of service to our country, including as our current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He is a fine gentleman and an outstanding leader, and I wish a great future for him and his family,” Trump wrote.

Trump praised Caine’s qualifications, highlighting his role in dismantling the ISIS caliphate during Trump’s first term.

“General Caine is an accomplished pilot, national security expert, successful entrepreneur, and a ‘warfighter’ with significant interagency and special operations experience,” Trump stated.

Trump credited Caine for the rapid defeat of ISIS, a mission that many military leaders had predicted would take years.

“Many so-called military ‘geniuses’ said it would take years to defeat ISIS. General Caine, on the other hand, said it could be done quickly, and he delivered,” Trump said.

Trump’s announcement also took aim at the previous administration, noting that despite Caine’s extensive military credentials, he was overlooked for promotion under President Joe Biden.

When Pardoned J6er Confronts Him: January 6’s Media Cop Fanone Erupts 

Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who is serving a 22-year sentence for “seditious conspiracy” in connection to the January 6 protests, confronted former Capitol Police officers Michael Fanone and Harry Dunn on Saturday at a Washington, D.C., hotel.

The encounter turned into a tense exchange, with both sides trading accusations.

Tarrio, who was convicted in 2023 despite not entering the U.S. Capitol on January 6, has been a central figure in ongoing debates about the fairness of prosecutions related to the protests.

He was sentenced by Judge Timothy Kelly, who sided with Department of Justice prosecutors in classifying Tarrio’s actions as “terrorism.”

Requests to move the trial outside of Washington, D.C., where more than 90 percent of residents vote Democrat, were denied.

One of the witnesses against Tarrio and other defendants was Fanone, who testified before the January 6 Committee.

Since then, Fanone has made frequent appearances on MSNBC and CNN, where he has referred to Trump and his supporters as “traitors.”

Dunn, another former Capitol Police officer, also served as a witness and has been a vocal critic of Trump’s role in the protests.

Tarrio, alongside pro-Trump attorney Ivan Raiklin, approached Fanone and Dunn in an effort to engage them in a discussion about their public statements regarding January 6.

Raiklin asked if they would be open to having lunch to discuss the matter, but both men declined and proceeded toward an elevator.

“You guys are a**holes, so please just back off,” an unidentified woman said as Fanone and Dunn continued walking. Tarrio then responded, referencing Fanone’s attendance at his sentencing.

“You know who’s an a**hole? Somebody that sits in my sentencing and laughs while I got sentenced to 22 years. That’s an a**hole.”

Tarrio continued addressing Fanone, saying, “You were brave on Twitter, and you thought you were brave at my sentencing when you laughed when I got 22 years. And now you don’t wanna look my way and pretend I’m not here, right?”

Fanone briefly turned around before continuing toward the elevator. The exchange escalated further when Fanone called Tarrio a “traitor to this country.”

Tarrio fired back, saying, “You f**king coward. You were a coward that day, you were a coward after, and you’re another coward,” including Dunn in his remarks.

The shouting continued as hotel staff intervened, calling security to remove Tarrio. Fanone’s entourage then pulled him into the elevator as he continued shouting expletives.

Following the altercation, Raiklin weighed in, stating, “If that’s how they act when it’s a calm environment, imagine how they acted on January 6. They were the ones that were the trigger pullers. They were the ones that incited, instigated. These are unstable men. And that’s why January 6 played out the way it did, because they’re not able to contain themselves and control their emotions.”

Fanone has continued making strong statements in media appearances following Trump’s election victory.

Speaking to CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Fanone claimed he has been “betrayed” by Trump supporters and law enforcement.

“Thanks America,” Fanone told Cooper. When asked if he felt betrayed, he responded, “I have been betrayed by my country. Rest assured I have been betrayed by my country and I have been betrayed by those that supported Donald Trump. Whether you voted for him because he promised these pardons or for some other reason, you knew that this was coming and here we are.”

In a post-election interview with the Washington Post, Fanone hinted at plans to isolate himself, stating, “Better f**king arm yourselves.”

The Post’s Kara Voght reported that Fanone went further, suggesting he would rather die in a “shootout” than be arrested if investigated by a future Trump administration’s Department of Justice.

Tarrio’s conviction and sentencing remain controversial, with critics pointing to his absence from the Capitol as evidence that the prosecution’s case was politically motivated.

Meanwhile, the confrontations and public statements from figures like Fanone and Dunn continue to fuel debate over how January 6 has been handled by law enforcement and the courts.

Border

Trump’s Border Strategy Slashes Illegal Crossings to Historic Lows

The southern border hasn’t been this quiet in decades, and the reason is clear: President Donald Trump means business.

Border Czar Tom Homan revealed on Monday that Border Patrol agents encountered just 229 illegal migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border in a single day—a number so low that Homan himself, a veteran in immigration enforcement since 1984, could hardly recall a time when it was this controlled, as reported by The Independent Journal Review.

Historical data confirms that illegal border crossings haven’t been this low since the 1960s.

Homan’s announcement isn’t just a fluke. If that 229-daily average held, the total number of border encounters for fiscal year 2025 would barely surpass 83,500.

That’s a dramatic contrast to the Biden administration’s record-breaking border disasters. Under Biden, agents were dealing with more than 11,000 crossings per day, peaking at over 12,600 in a single day in December 2023.

Eric Ruark, research director at NumbersUSA, called the drop in crossings an undeniable “Trump effect.” According to Ruark, Trump’s policies aren’t just symbolic gestures—they are delivering real enforcement at the border.

“There’s every reason to believe that we’re going to see historic lows when it comes to encounters now between ports of entry and people trying to sneak across. The Trump administration is serious and they’re going to continue to be serious about not just talking about ending illegal immigration, but doing everything they can do to prevent it going forward.”

Since reclaiming the White House, Trump has wasted no time dismantling Biden-era policies that encouraged illegal immigration. Among the biggest reversals:

  • Ending the CBP One App, which allowed migrants to schedule entry into the U.S.
  • Shutting down the Safety Mobility Initiative, a loophole that funneled migrants into the country through bureaucratic backdoors.
  • Scrapping Biden’s parole programs, which granted illegal migrants temporary legal status with little oversight.
  • Declaring a national emergency at the border, allowing for rapid deployment of enforcement resources.

Trump took it a step further on Wednesday, signing an executive order that cuts off taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal migrants and blocks federal money from supporting sanctuary cities. This crackdown sends a clear message: America will no longer bankroll illegal immigration.

The shift in policy has had an immediate impact beyond the border. Reports from Latin America suggest that many migrants who once saw the U.S. as an open door are now abandoning their plans entirely.

One glaring indicator? The number of crossings through the Darien Gap, a notorious jungle route between Colombia and Panama used by migrants heading to the U.S., has plummeted. Many see Trump’s enforcement agenda as an insurmountable barrier and are opting to stay put.

The contrast between Trump’s enforcement and Biden’s failures couldn’t be starker. Under Biden, fiscal year 2023 saw over 2 million illegal crossings, with 2024 topping 1.5 million.

These were the two highest totals in U.S. history. Faced with plummeting approval ratings, Biden scrambled to issue a half-hearted executive order in June 2024 to limit asylum seekers—but by then, the damage was done.

Trump’s return has not only reversed the trend but has set the country on a path to the strongest border security in history.

House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green praised Trump’s decisive action.

“The actions taken by President Trump to secure our border and make America safe again have been nothing less than historic, including by reducing illegal border crossings by over 60 percent in his first week in office alone.”

Green called it “the most aggressive crackdown on illegal immigration in U.S. history.”

Ruark noted that unlike in Trump’s first term, his second administration is staffed with officials who fully support his immigration agenda.

“You had a lot of people initially who weren’t really on board with Trump’s immigration agenda. That’s totally different in the second term, and these are people who, from day one, and we’ve seen the results, have come in and are putting in effective policies that are in line with what Trump campaigned off.”

While the initial impact has been dramatic, Ruark warns that the challenge isn’t over.

“We have every reason to be optimistic going forward, so we’ve certainly been happy, but again, the big challenge is, ‘what do you do you do about all the people who are who are here?’”

With estimates placing the number between seven and nine million, Trump’s administration faces a monumental task in not just securing the border, but ensuring those who entered illegally don’t get to stay.

One thing is certain—Trump’s America isn’t rolling out the red carpet for illegal migrants anymore. The border crisis of the last four years is over, and a new era of enforcement has begun.

Ex-DNC Insider: Furious Donors Abandoning Party as Dems Implode

A former high-profile fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is sounding the alarm on the state of the Democratic Party, claiming it is in “shambles” following the presidential election.

Lindy Li, who has raised tens of millions of dollars for Democratic campaigns, announced her departure from the party in December after facing backlash for criticizing then-Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.

Speaking with Fox News Digital, Li described growing dissatisfaction among major Democratic donors, stating, “Democratic donors absolutely, without a single exception, they are so angry and upset with the state of the party. They think the party is in complete shambles.”

Li, who had been a vocal supporter of Democratic candidates for years, said that since President Donald Trump assumed office, she has seen a party that is “completely rudderless.”

“I don’t know how they’re going to get out of this wilderness,” she said, attributing much of the party’s struggles to an ideological shift.

Li argued that the Democratic Party has been overtaken by progressive extremism, saying, “It’s their religion, it’s their god. Woke is their god. This trans, woke insanity—they are enthralled by it.”

She pointed to the growing corporate rejection of leftist social policies, stating, “Companies are running as fast as they can from this toxic agenda, yet the Democratic Party is doubling down time and time again on this. Honestly, it’s gender hysteria. It’s almost like a social contagion.”

Li also criticized the involvement of celebrities like Beyoncé and Cardi B in the Harris campaign, following reports that they were paid to appear and speak at campaign events.

While both artists denied receiving payments, Li disputed their claims. “All their production companies were getting compensated,” she told Fox News Digital.

Beyoncé’s appearance at a Harris campaign event in October stirred controversy after she did not perform as some attendees had expected.

Critics accused the campaign of using the artist’s presence to boost attendance and publicity.

Li supported this claim, stating, “I honestly believe that the campaign used that to generate attention and publicity for their event.”

Looking ahead, Li expressed doubt about the Democratic Party’s ability to recover from its election defeat.

“There is no one on the horizon” to lead the party into the next election cycle, she said.

Since leaving the DNC, Li has found new support among Republicans, saying the “humanity and kindness” she has received from conservatives has been “unbelievable.”

She also expressed optimism about retaining her donor network, as she now plans to raise money for Republican candidates.
