WATCH LIVE: Border Czar Tom Homan Addresses Joint Session of Arizona Legislature at 3 PM ET

Border Czar Tom Homan will address a joint session of the Arizona Legislature this afternoon as state Republicans focus on securing the southern border with Mexico. 

Arizona House Speaker Steve Montenegro said in a statement Monday, “Arizona is ground zero in the fight to secure our southern border and protect American communities.”

He says he invited Homan to speak because “His firsthand experience and no-nonsense leadership are exactly what our members need as we advance our Majority Plan to promote public safety, preserve the American Dream, and protect the rights and liberties of every Arizonan.”

Homan is expected to discuss the state’s role in President Trump’s mass deportation and secure border agenda.

Still, Arizona’s radical left governor, Katie Hobbs, is not expected to sign any Republican bill that stops the millions of violent criminals and terrorists who snuck into our country under Joe Biden.

The Arizona House of Representatives issued the following press release on Monday.

U.S. Border Czar Tom Homan to Address Special Joint Session of the Arizona Legislature

STATE CAPITOL, PHOENIX – Arizona House Speaker Steve Montenegro today announced that Tom Homan, the U.S. Border Czar under President Donald J. Trump’s administration, will address a special Joint Session of the Arizona Legislature on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. in the House Chamber at the State Capitol. This event underscores Arizona’s leading role in confronting the border crisis and advancing public safety—a top priority for the House Republican Majority.

Appointed in November 2024, Mr. Homan brings over 30 years of border enforcement experience to the role, including serving as Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from 2017 to 2018. Known for his direct approach and zero-tolerance enforcement, Mr. Homan is leading national efforts to restore order at the southern border and prioritize the deportation of those who threaten public safety and national security.

“Arizona is ground zero in the fight to secure our southern border and protect American communities. Tom Homan is a patriot who has dedicated his life to defending our nation’s sovereignty and keeping Americans safe. Now, as the Border Czar for President Trump’s administration, he’s leading the long-overdue federal effort to restore law and order,” said Speaker Montenegro. “His firsthand experience and no-nonsense leadership are exactly what our members need as we advance our Majority Plan to promote public safety, preserve the American Dream, and protect the rights and liberties of every Arizonan.”

The address comes at a time when Republicans in the Arizona Legislature have been entrusted with stronger majorities and a clear mandate to act. The House Republican Majority Plan prioritizes secure borders, safer communities, and stronger protections for Arizona families — goals directly aligned with Mr. Homan’s mission at the federal level.

Mr. Homan’s remarks will focus on current border challenges, federal-state cooperation, and efforts to reverse the chaos of the last four years fomented by the Biden-Harris administration.

The public and press are invited to watch the address live at azleg.gov/liveproceedings.

Watch live here at 12 pm MST.

NEW: Senior CIA Official Who Played Role in Biden Military Covid Vaccine Mandate Fired

Source: Illustration/The Gateway Pundit

The senior CIA official who helped facilitate the Biden-era military Covid vaccine mandate has been fired.

In 2021, then-Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin imposed a vaccine mandate for US troops.

Joe Biden supported Lloyd Austin’s military Covid vaccine mandate.

“The president agrees with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin that the Pentagon should continue to require all service members be vaccinated and boosted against Covid-19,” then-National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters in 2022.

According to Breitbart News, Terry Adirim, a senior CIA official and former Defense Department official under Joe Biden, was fired last week.

Adirim was fired for her role in mandating military members to either take the jab or be forced out.

Breitbart previously reported on Adirim’s memo in forcing servicemembers to take a vaccine that was not FDA approved.

Per FDA guidance, these two vaccines are ‘interchangeable’ and DoD health care providers should ‘use doses distributed under the EUA to administer the vaccination series as if the doses were the licensed vaccine.’1

Consistent with FDA guidance, DoD health care providers will use both the PfizerBioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and the Comirnaty COVID-19 vaccine interchangeably for the purpose of vaccinating Service members in accordance with Secretary of Defense Memorandum, ‘Mandatory Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination of Department of Defense Service Members,’ August 24, 2021.

Breitbart News reported:

Terry Adirim, a senior Central Intelligence Agency official and former senior defense official who played a pivotal and potentially illegal role in the Biden Administration’s military vaccine mandate, was recently fired from the agency, a source has exclusively revealed to Breitbart News.

Adirim, a former senior Biden appointee at the Department of Defense who was performing the duties of the assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, had decamped in December to the CIA as director of CIA Centers for Global Health Services until about a week ago, according to the source.

Her firing was related to her role in forcing service members to choose between taking a vaccine that was under Emergency Use Authorization or being kicked out, according to the source.

On September 14, 2021, about a month after then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered the vaccine mandate, Adirim issued a memo instructing DOD health care providers to consider the vaccine available to service members — Pfizer’s BioNTech vaccine — as “interchangeable” with a vaccine that was approved by the FDA, known as Comirnaty.

Woke, DEI-Obsessed Navy Vice Admiral Who Allegedly Refused to Put Up Trump’s Portrait at NATO Headquarters Has Been FIRED

Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield Credit: U.S. Navy

The Trump Administration continues to drain the deep state swamp of woke military officials obsessed with DEI and nation-building.

Fox News reported on Tuesday that Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield, the only woman on NATO’s military committee, was fired over the weekend, reportedly as part of a larger effort to purge wokeness from the Pentagon.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made the final call last week, but whether President Trump was involved is unclear.

Sean Parnell, the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs & Chief Pentagon Spokesman, stated on X that Chatfield was terminated “due to a loss of confidence in her ability to lead.” He went on to say the DoD is grateful for her years of service in the military.

Secretary Hegseth has removed U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield from her position as U.S. representative to NATO’s military committee due to a loss of confidence in her ability to lead. The Defense Department is grateful for her many years of military service.

The conservative American Accountability Foundation, which first asked the Pentagon to terminate Chatfield, has noted her history of woke statements. For example, during a Women’s Equality Event back in August 2015, Chatfield boasted about how “diversity is our strength” and called for investing in gender equality and women’s empowerment.

From a U.S. Army Sept. 2015 article:

Just before the cake-cutting at the end of the Women’s Equality Day observance, Chatfield said she was pleased that the cake was decorated in purple, the color that represents a joint environment — many services working together.

“Our diversity is our strength,” she said, adding that the secrets are how to get the best out of each person and how to make sure that none of their talents is wasted. “Finding a way to be respectful of the differences is where our growth is.”

Chatfield summed up the importance of equal rights by quoting Slide 35 of the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute’s informational presentation on Women’s Equality Day: Investing in gender equality and women’s empowerment can unlock human potential on a transformational scale.

“It’s not a question of women’s rights; it’s a question of everyone’s rights,” Chatfield said.

But it gets worse. According to Human Events Senior editor Jack Posobiec, Chatfield’s behavior while employed at NATO was allegedly so deranged that she reportedly refused to put up pictures of Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

BREAKING: Per report, Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield refused to put up POTUS & SECDEF pictures in NATO HQ. Also held an “all hands” where she said “we will wait them out 4 years”

She has been relieved of duty

— Jack Poso (@JackPosobiec) April 8, 2025

Democratic senators predictably threw tantrums upon hearing about Chatfield’s firing. Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, whined that he was “deeply disturbed” by her rightful dismissal while smearing Trump.

“I’m deeply disturbed by the firing of a top U.S. military officer at NATO, Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield – a combat veteran and helicopter pilot,” Warner wrote on X. “Trump’s relentless attacks on our alliances and his careless dismissal of decorated military officials make us less safe and weaken our position across the world.”

— Mark Warner (@MarkWarner) April 7, 2025

Senator Jack Reed (D-RI), the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, released a statement slamming Trump while hailing Chatfield’s “selfless service.”

“Admiral Chatfield is among the finest military officers our nation has to offer, and she has distinguished herself as the U.S. Military Representative to NATO,” Reed said.

“Her 38-year career as a Navy pilot, foreign policy expert, and preeminent military educator—including as President of the Naval War College—will leave a lasting legacy on the Navy and throughout the military. Admiral Chatfield’s record of selfless service is unblemished by President Trump’s behavior.”

Arizona Attorney General Appeals Loss in Sham 2020 Electors Witch Hunt After Judge Tosses Indictment – Appeals Court Judge is Donor to Her Campaign!

Arizona AG Kris Mayes

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes is currently appealing the dismissed charges in her years-long political persecution of alternate 2020 electors, and the judge overseeing the appeal is a far-left Mayes donor who has a vested interest in seeing the Defendants jailed for their made-up crime of challenging an election. 

This is not the first time the case has faced controversy.

The Gateway Pundit reported in November that the case was revealed to have been pre-designed by a left-wing law group and handed nearly one year before the charges were filed. This discovery also came after a far-left judge recused himself from the case after he was busted bashing white men and making demands that other judges in Arizona support Kamala Harris against her conservative critics. The judge further likened Harris’ critics to Nazis and condemned judges for not sharing his radical anti-white views.

In April, Trump 2020 alternate electors, GOP state legislators, former Arizona GOP chairwoman Kelli Ward, and others were indicted by a state grand jury in Arizona for questioning the 2020 election.

A total of 18 people involved in the Arizona alternate electors plan were indicted by the Arizona grand jury last year.

Trump lawyers Christina Bobb, Jenna Ellis, Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman were all charged with felonies.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Mayes’ case against the Trump electors was crushed after the Defendants in the case successfully argued that the charges were politically motivated and violated Arizona’s anti-SLAPP statute.

Democrat Arizona AG Kris Mayes’ Alternate Trump Electors Case on Life Support After Judge Says Charges May Have Violated First Amendment

Now, as Mayes is appealing a judge’s decision to drop the charges, she has an ally and donor overseeing the case. As Arizona State Rep. Joseph Chaplik revealed, the judge, Andrew Jacobs, a Katie Hobbs appointee, felt motivated to make his first donation to Mayes’ 2022 Attorney General campaign “Several days after Mayes promised publicly to investigate the 2020 electors.”

Chaplick detailed the corruption in an X thread:

@realDonaldTrump’s 2020 AZ Electors are currently being persecuted by a corrupt Democrat AG One judge was already forced to recuse himself for being a shill for the Left Now the Appeals Court judge has been exposed for DONATING to the corrupt AG!
The appeals court judge on the case, Andrew Jacobs, was appointed by Governor Katie Hobbs in February 2023. Jacobs donated $500 to Mayes’ campaign for the office in 2022.
Several days after Mayes promised publicly to investigate the 2020 electors, Jacobs submitted his first donation to her campaign. A source that observed the emergency hearing described Jacobs as “hostile” to the electors.
Last month, Maricopa County Judge Sam Myers ruled the 2020 electors, 16 in total, provided sufficient evidence that Mayes’ case against them may be dismissable for violating Arizona’s Anti-SLAPP law.
…And now the decision whether this bogus witch hunt against them is dismissed will be decided by a DONOR to the corrupt AG, Kris Mayes.

Prince Harry in UK Court Appealing the Government’s Decision to Downgrade His Security Arrangements

Prince Harry lives a life filled with conflict.

The prodigal son is back home.

Once the most beloved member of the Windsor dynasty in the United Kingdom, Prince Harry made the controversial decision of abandoning the role of ‘working Royal’, moved to the US with his wife and children, and spiraled into a life of conflict.

Conflict with his own father the King and his brother the heir to the throne; conflict with his hated step-Mother the Queen; conflict with the mainstream media; conflict with the Chairwoman of the Charity he founded; conflict with the government over his security arrangements.

In a way, the downgrade imposed on his security apparatus is symbolic, and reflexive of the downgrade that he suffered at the heart of his once great Kingdom.

This week, Prince Harry is in court to appeal a government decision – and a High Court ruling – to downgrade the security arrangements he gets while in the UK.

BBC reported:

“The prince’s taxpayer-funded protection was changed in 2020, after he stopped being a working royal.

His lawyer argues he has been ‘singled out for different, unjustified and inferior treatment’. But the barrister representing the government tells the court the decision that Harry’s UK security would be considered on a case-by-case basis was rightly taken.”

The Duke of Sussex says his visits to the UK have become rare due to the downgraded security.

His UK security at this point has been decided like other high-profile visitors – but Harry argues that’s unfair as he still faces significant security threats.

“The Court of Appeal today heard Prince Harry’s case for appeal against a High Court ruling that backed a move to decide on security for his visits to the UK on a case-by-case basis.

[…] He has previously emphasized the importance of safety for his children – saying he wants them to feel at home in the UK.”

The hearing will resume tomorrow, with a final judgement due in writing at a later date.

Judge Boasberg Makes His Next Move After Supreme Court Vacates His Orders Barring Trump From Deporting Venezuelan Gang Members Under Alien Enemies Act

Judge James Boasberg / screen image

Judge James Boasberg made his next move in the Alien Enemies Act case on Tuesday after the Supreme Court vacated his orders.

In an unsigned order, the US Supreme Court on Monday vacated Judge Boasberg’s orders barring the Trump Administration’s removals of Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act.

Last month, Judge Boasberg granted a temporary restraining order (TRO) to stop the Trump administration from deporting thousands of Venezuelan nationals believed to be members of Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang under the Alien Enemies Act.

Far-left America-hating leftist groups, such as the ACLU and Democracy Forward, rushed to a DC court in a desperate bid to shield dangerous illegal aliens from deportation.

The high court said Boasberg lacked jurisdiction.

The Supreme Court however, said the Administration must give reasonable notice for gang members to challenge their deportations in court.

Five Supreme court Justices, Roberts, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Thomas and Alito were in favor of vacating Boasberg’s orders.

The three liberal justices Kagan, Jackson and Sotomayor dissented – ‘conservative’ justice Amy Coney Barret dissented in part.

On Tuesday morning Boasberg canceled the scheduled hearing on the Alien Enemies Act, however, he gave the deported Venezuelan gang members another chance to pursue a preliminary injunction!

Boasberg seized on the Supreme Court’s position allowing the deported gang members to challenge their removal in court.

“In yesterday’s ruling vacating this Court’s TROs, the Supreme Court held that Plaintiffs cannot be deported under the Alien Enemies Act without an opportunity to challenge their removal in federal court. It also determined that the appropriate venue for such proceedings is the Southern District of Texas or wherever Plaintiffs are currently held,” Boasberg wrote.

Boasberg gave the plaintiffs until April 16 to file a notice if they wish to proceed on their motion for a preliminary injunction.

“This Court accordingly ORDERS that: 1) Today’s preliminary injunction hearing is VACATED; and 2) Plaintiffs shall file a Notice by April 16, 2025, indicating whether they believe that they still have a basis to proceed on their Motion for Preliminary Injunction in this Court and, if so, proposing a briefing schedule,” Boasberg said.

JUST IN: Judge Boasberg has canceled today’s hearing on the Alien Enemies Act, in light of the Supreme Court ruling, but he is asking the plaintiffs whether they see any other basis to pursue a preliminary injunction (seems unlikely). pic.twitter.com/Ju0puPvMnv

WATCH LIVE: White House Press Secretary Delivers Press Briefing at 1 PM ET

WH Press Sec Karoline Leavitt

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will deliver a press briefing this afternoon amid the political and economic fallout from President Trump’s tariffs on dozens of U.S. trading partners last week.

The tariffs are set to take effect on Wednesday, April 9.

Since Liberation Day on April 2, when President Trump announced his reciprocal tariffs in the White House Rose Garden, over 50 countries have contacted President Trump seeking negotiations on fair trade deals.

Several nations are already sending negotiators to meet with Trump Administration officials.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump got tougher on China, announcing harsher tariffs Monday. He announced 50% tariffs in addition to the 34% he imposed last week on Chinese goods after China threatened 34% retaliatory tariffs.

Additionally, Leavitt is expected to address the latest development in President Trump’s war against rogue activist judges such as James Boasberg.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Monday that the Supreme Court vacated Judge Boasberg’s orders barring the Trump Administration’s removals of Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. They ruled that Boasberg, as a single district court judge, lacked jurisdiction to dictate the President’s policy.

BREAKING: HUGE WIN: Supreme Court Vacates Judge Boasberg’s Orders Barring Trump From Deporting Venezuelan Gang Members Under Alien Enemies Act

Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts on Monday also indefinitely blocked another court order requiring the return of alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

President Trump will deliver remarks at the National Republican Congressional Committee’s April dinner tonight where he will likely call on Congress members to pass laws that codify his agenda and executive orders.

He is also set to sign Unleashing American Energy Executive Orders to increase U.S. coal and energy production at 3 pm.

JUST IN: Trump Slaps 104% Tariff on Communist China After Beijing Defies U.S. Warning

President Donald Trump isn’t playing games with Communist China anymore.

Trump has unleashed a crushing 104% tariff on Communist China, effective immediately.

According to Fox Business, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dropped the bombshell earlier today, confirming that the tariffs kicked in at noon ET. Why? Because China’s commie overlords refused to back down from their own retaliatory duties on American goods.

According to FOX Business Network’s Edward Lawrence, the White House made the move swiftly and decisively.

“White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says 104% additional tariffs went into effect at noon eastern time because China has not removed its retaliation,” Lawrence reported. “The 104% additional tariff will be collected starting tomorrow, April 9th.”

— Edward Lawrence (@EdwardLawrence) April 8, 2025

Lawrence added, “Being more clear: When the tariffs go into effect at 12:01a April 9th. China will see an additional 104% added to imports. China missed it’s 12p Eastern Time deadline to remove retaliation tariffs set by President Trump.”

— Edward Lawrence (@EdwardLawrence) April 8, 2025

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is throwing a full-blown tantrum, vowing to “fight to the end” after President Donald Trump delivered a righteous ultimatum: retract your outrageous 34% retaliatory tariff on American goods by April 8, or face a devastating 50% tariff wall from the United States starting April 9.

This is the kind of bold leadership America’s forgotten workers have been crying out for—and the CCP can’t handle it.

Last week, President Trump took a sledgehammer to decades of Chinese economic exploitation, slapping a 34% tariff on their imports to level the playing field against Beijing’s suffocating 67% trade barriers.

In typical CCP fashion, instead of negotiating in good faith, China resorted to propaganda, whining about “unilateral bullying” while conveniently ignoring its decades of economic warfare, including slave labor, forced technology transfers, and currency manipulation.

On Monday, Trump dropped the hammer with a fiery Truth Social post.

“Yesterday, China issued Retaliatory Tariffs of 34%, on top of their already record setting Tariffs, Non-Monetary Tariffs, Illegal Subsidization of companies, and massive long term Currency Manipulation…

Therefore, if China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the United States will impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th.

Additionally, all talks with China concerning their requested meetings with us will be terminated! Negotiations with other countries, which have also requested meetings, will begin taking place immediately.”

China, meanwhile, is doubling down on its delusions.

The Ministry of Commerce in Beijing issued a statement dripping with hypocrisy and propaganda, claiming that its retaliatory tariffs are “legitimate” and that America’s efforts are nothing more than blackmail.

According to a Google-translated statement:

“China has noted that on April 7, Eastern Time, the United States threatened to impose a further 50% tariff on China, to which China firmly opposes.

If the U.S. escalates its tariff measures, China will resolutely take countermeasures to safeguard its rights and interests.

The so-called “reciprocal tariffs” imposed by the United States on China are groundless and a typical unilateral bullying practice.

The countermeasures China has taken are to safeguard its sovereignty, security and development interests and maintain the normal international trade order, and are completely legitimate.

The U.S.’s threat to escalate tariffs on China is adding insult to injury and once again exposes the blackmail nature of the U.S., which China will never accept. if the United States insists on having its own way, Chiña will definitely accompany it to the end.

China reiterated that there are no winners in the trade war and there is no way out for protectionism. Pressure and threats are not the correct way to deal with China.

China urges the United States to immediately correct its wrong practices, cancel all unilateral tariff measures against China, stop its economic and trade suppression, and properly resolve differences with China through equal dialogue on the basis of mutual respect.”

TRUMP CRACKS DOWN: Illegal Aliens to be Fined Nearly $1,000 PER DAY for Refusing to Leave, Face Property Seizures – Legal Protection for Over 900,000 Migrants Also REVOKED

CBP Photo of illegal aliens turning back upon learning of border enforcement. Posted on 2/9/25

Millions of migrants unlawfully residing in America are about to get hit with a rude awakening.

As Reuters reported, the Trump Administration announced they would be invoking a 1996 law that allows them to fine illegals $998 per day for refusing to leave America. The law was enforced for the first time in 2018, during President Trump’s first term in office.

The outlet notes that the Trump Administration plans to apply the penalties retroactively for up to five years, possibly resulting in fines of over $1 million.

Illegals also face property seizure for refusal to comply.

DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said that illegal aliens should use the mobile app formerly known as CBP One, which the Trump administration has rebranded as CBP Home, to “self-deport and leave the country now.”

“If they don’t, they will face the consequences,” McLaughlin said in a statement. “This includes a fine of $998 per day for every day that the illegal alien overstayed their final deportation order.”

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the DHS repurposed the app and announced it would become the CBP Home app to facilitate self-deportation. All CBP One apps were updated to the new app with the added feature that “Aliens can now notify the U.S. Government of their intent to depart the United States.”

But that’s not all. As Newsweek reported, the Department of Homeland Security last night stopped legal protection for every single alien who entered America under the newly repurposed CBP Home app to leave immediately. Over 900,000 people will be affected by this change.

Migrants from Honduras, El Salvador, and Mexico all received notices reading: “It’s time for you to abandon the United States,” sparking ‘concern‘ from legal aid groups and the migrants themselves.

The DHS said that Biden’s use of parole authority, which was more than any president since it was created in 1952, “further fueled the worst border crisis in U.S. history.”

These moves will help turbocharge President Trump’s mass deportation efforts, which have already borne massive fruit over the last two-plus months despite the best efforts from compromised Democrat judges.

Now, Congress needs to come through and provide the billions in funding necessary for Trump to fulfill his promises on immigration successfully. Border czar Tom Homan has begging the legislative branch for help regarding more ICE agents, detention centers and flights to no avail.
