Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) is calling on his alma mater, Princeton, to dismiss Seyed Hossein Mousavian from the University, citing a ‘risk to students.’

Mousavian is a Middle East security and nuclear policy specialist at the university and a former Ambassador of the Islamic regime to Germany.

In 2023, the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Education and the Workforce announced an investigation into Mousavian.

Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI) and Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) sent a letter to Princeton President Christopher Eisgruber, signed by 10 other Republican committee members, that included a list of questions about Mousavian and his ties to Iran.

The letter noted, “Mousavian’s position on the faculty of Princeton for the past 15 years … raises significant concerns about the influence of foreign hostile regimes on American institutions.”

Now, Senator Cruz is asking for the University to dismiss Mousavian as “students feel justifiably afraid for their safety.”

Per a Fox News exclusive: 

“Mousavian is closely linked to the Iranian regime and to the regime’s campaigns of terrorism and murder. His presence at Princeton makes students feel justifiably afraid for their safety. Princeton’s decision to keep employing him shows they care less about their students, and more about providing a platform for pro-regime and anti-American propaganda. That kind of reckless institutional ideological bias is exactly why the Trump administration is reassessing federal funding for Princeton,” Cruz told Fox News Digital in an exclusive statement.

********

Maximillian Meyer, president of Princeton Tigers for Israel, and an undergraduate at the university, told Fox News Digital, “I commend Sen. Cruz for raising urgent concerns about Princeton’s employment of Mousavian, whose career has been defined by shilling for the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. Credible reports linking Mousavian to the oversight of Iranian dissident assassinations in Europe – alongside his endorsement of the fatwa on Salman Rushdie – are deeply alarming.”

In 2023, U.S. military leaders invited Mousavian to headline their 2023 Deterrence Symposium, where he described “unjustified American acts of aggression” towards Iran dating back nearly a century in front of top military brass.

Border Czar Tom Homan joined Karoline Leavitt in the White House Press briefing room on Monday and put illegal aliens on notice that they will be found, prosecuted, deported, and never allowed to return if they don’t follow the law and leave immediately.

“If you’re an illegal alien in the United States, this message is for you,” he said. “You cannot hide from ICE. We’re actively looking for you.”

He continued, “Make no mistake, if you’re in the country legally and you fail to do what the law requires, we will prosecute you, you will go to jail, then we’ll deport you. ”

This comes as the White House ramps up efforts to encourage self-deportation amid radical left judges blocking the Trump administration from executing mass deportations. Earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reminded illegal aliens that they must register with the federal government under the “long-ignored” Alien Registration Act and leave the country or be arrested.

The White House on Friday also issued an epic threat to illegals with a social media video, showcasing the consequences of ignoring these messages. The Trump Administration last month repurposed the CPB One app, which was previously used as the primary vehicle for smuggling illegals into our country by the Biden Regime, and announced it would become the CBP Home app to facilitate self-deportation.

As The Gateway Pundit reported,  Monday’s “100 Day Week” theme, as stated in the White House Press Schedule, is “THE FIRST 100 DAYS: THE BORDER IS SECURE.”

In honor of the historic lows achieved in illegal border crossings and deportation of criminal illegal aliens, Tom Homan joined today’s press conference to discuss border security.

The White House also trolled the migrant criminals they’ve arrested by showcasing their mugshots on the front lawn this morning.

Members of the media were hit in the face this morning upon arriving at the White House, where the photos of 100 violent criminal aliens dotted the lawn, exposing their crimes and showing exactly who Democrats and their liberal media cohorts are trying to protect. The individuals were arrested for heinous crimes such as murder, rape, and various sex crimes against children.

After taking questions from the media on Monday morning, Homan closed the briefing with a final warning for illegals.

WATCH:

Homan: I don’t want any misinterpretation of what I’m reading to you. The registration requirements under 8 U.S.C. 1302 — if you’re an illegal alien in the United States, this message is for you — you cannot hide from ICE.

We’re actively looking for you. Federal law requires every alien in the United States, who has been present in United States more than 30 days, needs to register.

For those 14 years or older, you need to be fingerprinted with the Department of Homeland Security. Federal law requires every alien in the United States to tell DHS in writing if you have a change in address within 10 days of change in that address. Failing to register with DHS and failure to tell DHS about your new address are criminal offenses, and they will be treated as such.

Starting today, make no mistake, if you’re in the country legally and you fail to do what the law requires, we will prosecute you, you will go to jail, then we’ll deport you. Second Law, penalties for failure to depart, 8 U.S.C. 1253: If you’re an alien inside the United States who has a final order, this message is for you.

If you have a final order, the Trump administration is committed to enforcing our immigration laws, especially for those aliens who have received final orders of deportation.

There are currently around 1.4 million illegal aliens who’ve been ordered removed but remain here in violation of the law. We will aggressively prosecute, consistent with long-standing law, those aliens for failing or refusing to depart, or who take other related actions aimed at hindering their removal.

You can not open the door, you can not answer questions, you can not open your car door? You’re considered to evade law enforcement. If you fail to leave the United States after receiving a removal order, we can and will issue monetary fines up to $998 a day. Evading your arrest, knowing you have a final order of removal, is a criminal offense. We will prosecute, then we’ll deport you.

Get your affairs in order. If you’re in the country illegally, work with ICE, go to CBP One Home app, and leave on your own because if we have to find it, deport you and prosecute you, you’ll have a bar placed on you, and you won’t come back to this country…

If you’re in this country illegally, get your affairs in order, work with us, and get yourself removed from this country. That’s what the law requires, and we’re gonna enforce that law.

The media have recently claimed that President Trump said the Fourth Amendment “doesn’t matter” and that his administration has authorized ICE to enter people’s homes without warrants. However, these claims are misleading. There is no direct quote from President Trump saying the Fourth Amendment is irrelevant. Furthermore, the underlying legal framework for immigration enforcement has not changed under Trump’s second term; it is the continued application of long-existing laws, not the creation of new constitutional exceptions.

Several outlets have reported that a 2025 Department of Justice (DOJ) memo authorized warrantless home entries under the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) for certain immigration enforcement actions. These reports suggest a sweeping disregard for constitutional protections. However, a review of Trump’s public statements, executive orders, and comments from officials like immigration czar Tom Homan shows no evidence that Trump ever said, directly or indirectly, that the Fourth Amendment “doesn’t matter.”

The DOJ memo itself has not been publicly released, and the claims about its contents rely entirely on second-hand reporting. Without access to the full text, it is impossible to verify whether it truly authorizes actions that would violate constitutional protections. As it stands, the media narrative is built on speculation and interpretation, not direct evidence.

The Fourth Amendment protects all persons in the United States against unreasonable searches and seizures, regardless of citizenship status. However, how the Fourth Amendment applies depends on the context. ICE cannot legally enter a private residence without a judicial warrant, the resident’s consent, or exigent circumstances, such as imminent danger or hot pursuit. Administrative warrants issued by ICE officers are not sufficient for entry into a home. In public spaces, such as streets or workplaces, ICE can make arrests based on administrative warrants or probable cause, where Fourth Amendment protections are less stringent. Historically, ICE avoided enforcement actions in sensitive locations such as schools, churches, and hospitals. The Trump administration rescinded this policy in January 2025, allowing enforcement in these locations, although this change did not override Fourth Amendment protections for private homes.

Thus, entering homes without a judicial warrant remains illegal. If the DOJ memo truly authorized warrantless home invasions, it would immediately face court challenges. As of now, no such lawsuits have been filed.

The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 grants the President authority to detain and deport nationals of hostile nations during wartime. The Trump administration invoked the AEA to expedite removals of certain Venezuelan nationals associated with the Tren de Aragua gang. While this is a novel application of the AEA, it does not eliminate Fourth Amendment protections. No U.S. law, including the AEA, allows the government to bypass constitutional rights without judicial oversight.

Applying the AEA in immigration enforcement is controversial but legal. It is important to distinguish between new applications of existing statutes and the false claim that Trump has created entirely new legal standards.

Another critical fact often overlooked by the media is that ICE cannot issue judicial warrants. ICE officers are part of the executive branch and can only issue administrative warrants, which are internal agency documents. Judicial warrants must be issued by a federal judge or magistrate. This structural reality has existed under every administration since ICE’s creation in 2003. Trump did not invent this system.

Additionally, immigration raids, expedited removals, and workplace sweeps are not Trump-era innovations. They have long been authorized under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and were widely used during the Bush, Obama, and Biden administrations. What has changed under Trump is the scale and intensity of enforcement — not the constitutional rules themselves.

Under President Obama, ICE deported hundreds of thousands of individuals annually, including parents of U.S. citizen children. Under President Biden, mass deportations of Haitian migrants under Title 42 also led to widespread family separations. These actions did not provoke the same level of media outrage as Trump’s policies. The selective outrage reveals that the issue is less about constitutional protections and more about political narratives.

President Trump’s immigration policies represent an escalation of enforcement priorities, not the invention of new constitutional interpretations. The legal basis for ICE operations remains the same as under previous administrations. The claim that Trump has “abolished” the Fourth Amendment is pure media spin without factual basis. While concerns about overreach can be debated, any allegation that the Constitution has been suspended should be treated with skepticism unless backed by primary evidence — which, in this case, it is not.

If the DOJ memo truly authorized illegal actions, it would be immediately challenged in court. Until then, the portrayal of Trump’s immigration policies as a constitutional crisis is more about politics than about law.

Virginia Giuffre’s final days were ‘positive’ according to the Epstein trafficking victim’s attorney, Karrie Louden.

Karrie Louden cast doubt on reports that Giuffre committed suicide because she was in relatively good spirits, making plans for her future.

Last Friday, it was reported that Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide. The 41-year-old was allegedly found dead on her farm in Neergabby, Australia.

Earlier this month it was reported that Giuffre was in despair after she was hit by a school bus and left in serious condition, according to a post on her Instagram account. The sex-trafficking survivor wrote:

This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won’t bore anyone with the details but I think its important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110KM as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can. I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology.

I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes.

S**T in one hand and wish in the other & I guarantee it’s still going to be s**t at the end of the day. Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the world and for being a great part of my life. Godbless you all.”

The news also sparked controversy due to a 2019 social media post by Giuffre that resurfaced after her death.

In it, she wrote, “I am making it publicly known that in no way, shape or form am I suicidal. I have made this known to my therapist and doctor. If something happens to me – for the sake of my family do not let this go away and help me to protect them. Too many evil people want to see me quieted.”

Attorney Karrie Louden told The Sun that she spoke to Giuffre just days before she was found dead and she was looking forward to her future.

Louden also told The Sun that police refused to confirm Giuffre’s death.

“Until the evidence is in, we’re just, you know, drawing conclusions,” Louden told The Sun. “Officially, the police told me nothing. They didn’t even confirm that she was dead. That’s how little information the police have provided to me.”

The Sun reported:

Karrie Louden, who has represented Virginia since the New Year, said the mum-of three was “in a lot of pain” but was looking forward to her future plans.

She told The Sun: “She [Virginia] wanted to renovate this house and all sorts of things like that. There were plans that she had for the future.”

The lawyer revealed she had spoken to the 41-year-old in the days before her death and had even been due to meet her on the day she was found unresponsive.

“I’d spoken to her in the days before,” Louden said.

“I was meant to be up here today, right now, having a meeting with her so we could sort out some of her legal affairs.”

“I was here this time last week and things were positive.”

But in a scathing blast at the authorities, Louden said she was left reeling, claiming police failed to even confirm Virginia’s death.

Giuffre was sexually abused by Epstein and Maxwell from 1999 through 2002 after she met the couple in Florida and was lured into their scheme as she attempted to straighten out her life.

Billionaire sex trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein died of ‘suicide’ while serving a prison sentence at the Metropolitan Correction Center in New York in August of 2019.

Officer Michael McMahon

Commentary

China has been on an intelligence rampage inside of America since the days of the Obama Administration, apart from the first Trump term.  The Obama/Biden Team dismissed the Chinese threat, ignored the Biden Family receipt of foreign bribes tracing to China, and then dissolved the Chinese focused Initiative.  In 2022, Assistant Attorney General for National Security Matthew Olsen virtue signaled, “By grouping cases under the China Initiative rubric, we helped give rise to a harmful perception that the department applies a lower standard to investigate and prosecute criminal conduct related to that country or that we in some way view people with racial, ethnic or familial ties to China differently”.  Translation:  DEI ideology was paramount in determining counterintelligence priorities.

However, in the case of retired New York Police Detective Michael McMahon, an upside down, crafted narrative has developed where Michael McMahon became the villain while the U.S. Government protected, a rogue Chinese Government Official and his wife who lied to obtain residency in the U.S. while laundering tens of millions of embezzled dollars. The Michael McMahon case glosses over failure to provide due process, a willful, J6 style behavior of the U.S. Government to deny key exculpatory information to defense counsel, and the possible manipulation of the U.S. Government by the “victims” who were (are?) Chinese Communist Party Officials who made false statements to enter the United States.

DOJ / FBI go after a U.S. Citizen while protecting Chinese Communist Party Officials?

The DOJ press release on the sentencing of Michael McMahon, a decorated and retired New York City Police Officer sounded ominous.  In the press release it stated Michael “was sentenced to 18 months in prison and ordered to pay an $11,000 fine for acting as an illegal agent of the government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and interstate stalking and conspiracy to commit the same, for his participation in a scheme to coerce repatriation of a U.S. resident to the PRC as part of its international repatriation effort known as “Operation Fox Hunt.”

Well, of course, we want to aggressively eliminate nefarious Chinese operations such as Police Stations, Chinese Special Operators sneaking across the southern border, and the secret repatriation efforts of Chinese intelligence.  But who are the supposed victims in all of this drama?  In his Private Investigator work, post-NYPD Service, McMahon was hired by a New York based company in 2016 to locate a person named Jin Xu and his wife Fang Liu in New Jersey. He was told Jin Xu had stolen millions of dollars from a China based construction company. He was tasked to locate the embezzled funds Jin Xu was able to exfiltrate out of China.

What did the government know about Jin Xu and Fang Liu in 2016?  Jin Xu was a former CCP Official who had a significant government position in, wait for it, Wuhan China.  Jin Xu and his wife, in a U.S. Federal court filing (USDC Central California Case 8:17-M-J-00088 dated April 4, 2017) are listed as, “Foreign Chinese nationals (who) received green cards under the EB-5 program, even though they were fugitives from justice and their EB-5 petitions contained false information”.  The real narrative of this obfuscated story should be something more like, “New Jersey Private Investigator sacrificed by the FBI to protect a wanted, high ranking CCP official, illegally in the United States.” June 2023 court records reveal the “victims”, Jin Xu and Fang Liu thanked the FBI for their assistance with immigration issues and a 30-million-dollar civil lawsuit against them.

Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) weaponized again – against a U.S. Citizen

 The essence of the U.S. Government’s case against McMahon is that he did not file under FARA.  To be guilty of failing to file under FARA, one must factually know that their clients are members of a foreign government.  The FBI and DOJ failed to demonstrate that McMahon factually knew that his co-defendants were part of the Chinese, “Operation Fox Hunt” program.  There is no legal requirement in FARA for someone to obtain a signed deposition from a client stating, under penalty of perjury, that they are not an overt or clandestine member of a foreign government.  Expecting a truthful response from a client when asking, “Before I work for you, I need to know, are you a member of a foreign government or a foreign spy?” is a non-sequitur.  During Discovery, when parties in legal proceedings are to share relevant information, the U.S. Government provided extensive documentation; however, it was encrypted, and the defendant and his attorneys were not provided the keys to decrypt according to those knowledgeable with the case.  By failing to share the encryption keys, the U.S. Government incurred immense obstacles to the defendant and his counsel.

While the Biden Administration aggressively prosecuted McMahon, the same Biden DOJ, FBI, and Secretary of State, Antony Blinken openly courted the architect and director of the Chinese Police Station and Foxhunt program, Liu Jianchao.  Secretary of State Antony Blinken appears to have hosted a “state dinner” (funded by the U.S. Taxpayer), for “Liu Jianchao, China’s leading envoy — and the architect of its global scheme to kidnap and silence anti-Communist dissidents.”  McMahon was prosecuted, while members of the CCP were treated to state dinners by members of the Biden Governance Committee.

McMahon whitewash reveals the Chinese Infiltration of the EB-5 Visa Program and direct involvement in the construction of Classified U.S. Government facilities

The alleged victims, Jin Xu and Fang Liu, lied on their EB-5 Visa program. The EB-5 visa provides a method of obtaining a green card for foreign nationals who invest in a “new commercial enterprise”.  The EB-5 program came from Immigration Reform in 1990.

Molasky Construction of Las Vegas, Nevada cites its success in building U.S. Government Facilities, including several FBI field offices, which are highly classified facilities.  The EB-5 Program is touted to Chinese nationals seeking Green Cards.  Chinese invest in Molasky, Molasky builds sensitive U.S. Government buildings.  Makes perfect sense.  For special and secure U.S. Government Facilities, trustworthy companies are needed that can deliver the best construction and renovation to make sure no foreign threat fills that building and network connectivity with different tricks of the trade to see, hear, and read everything going on in that facility.

There is a bizarre narrative that has developed over Michael McMahon.  Perhaps the U.S. Government has flipped Jin Xu and Fang Liu, but that doesn’t mean they have to destroy an American Citizen in the process.  Michael was held accountable for not knowing that those paying him were related to the Chinese Government.  However, CCP Officials were treated with deference and the EB-5 VISA program is the Open Southern Border equivalent in the construction of sensitive U.S. Government installations.  There are many reasonable questions in the McMahon Case and the entire case, verdict, and sentencing is a trail of favoritism toward the Chinese “Victims” and also the Chinese Intelligence Officials who led the Fox Hunt Program while an American is sent to Jail.

All viewpoints are personal and do not reflect the viewpoints of any organization.

Two Columbia University janitors, Mario Torres and Lester Wilson, are suing pro-Hamas protestors and those who funded them for battery, assault, and conspiracy to violate their civil rights, stemming from an incident in 2024 when protestors stormed and took over Hamilton Hall on the University’s campus.

The two men say they have struggled with the aftermath of the violence and, according to the lawsuit, they have suffered physical injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Neither Torres nor Wilson have been able to return to work.

The suit, filed on April 25, lists James Carlson, Aidan Parisi, Grant Miner, Catherine Curran-Groome, People’s Forum, Inc., Lisa Fithian, Gabriel Yancy, Ethan Choi and John Does as defendents.

The Free Press reports:

The lawsuit was filed in federal court on Friday evening by Torridon Law and the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law on behalf of Columbia janitors Mario Torres and Lester Wilson. It alleges that over 40 Columbia students and “outside agitators,” some but not all of whom were arrested by police following the takeover of Columbia’s Hamilton Hall last April 29, “terrorized” both Torres and Wilson “into the early morning of April 30th, assaulted and battered them, held them against their will, and derided them as ‘Jew-lovers’ and ‘Zionists.’ ”

******

“Mario and Lester are decent, honest, hardworking men who have been through hell. None of this ever should have happened,” said Tara Helfman, one of the Torridon lawyers on the case.

The lawsuit describes the protesters, the majority of whom “donned masks and hoods to conceal their identities,” as “reminiscent of the Ku Klux Klan.” It claims they “are part of a broad pro-Hamas, anti-Semitic network of organizations, groups, and cells that are connected through a largely untraceable underground communications system. They promote and resort to violent and illegal tactics, and are motivated by invidious discrimination against Jews and supporters of Jews.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported,Torres was photographed slamming 40-year-old trust fund kid James Carlson against the wall in Hamilton Hall while rabid leftists stormed and trashed the building.

Torres later told reporter Francesca Block that the protesters were organized and their occupation of the building was planned.

The janitors, who were trapped in the building while under siege by radicals, shared that they were gripped with “sheer terror,” and the violent mob was armed with zip ties and chains and carrying hand-drawn floor plans and supply lists.

According to head custodian Henry Clemente, the rioters stormed in with hand-drawn floor plans and were prepared for a prolonged occupation.

Henry Clemente, a head custodian for Columbia, told The New York Post,  “If you have masked people running through the building with zip ties and chains, you don’t know what they’re going to do — if they’re going to take you hostage, if you’re going to be tortured, if you’re going to be made an example.

While Clemente and his crew were cleaning up the wreckage, they discovered handwritten secret plans that showed the takeover was anything but spontaneous. It was well planned.

In the days after masked protestors at Columbia stormed Hamilton Hall and trapped three janitors in the building, one of the janitors told me he thought: “I could have been killed in there.”

Now he’s suing the people who held him hostage — and those he says funded them. https://t.co/N6OUPkkBmC

As seen in the Sanctuary City of Chicago,

President Trump is expected to sign two executive orders today on enforcing law and order and directing Homeland Security and the Justice Department to begin monitoring the Democrat-run sanctuary cities that harbor criminal illegal aliens. 

The President is scheduled to sign the orders at 5 pm ET.

Per Reuters, a White House Official said, “President Trump plans to sign an executive order on Monday escalating his battle against Democratic-led states and cities that don’t fully cooperate with federal immigration authorities.”

In a press briefing this morning, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also shared that the President will sign at least two executive orders, one to “strengthen and unleash America’s law enforcement to pursue criminals and protect innocent citizens,” and another “protecting American communities from criminal aliens.”

The sanctuary city order will ” direct the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security to publish a list of state and local jurisdictions that obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration laws,” Leavitt said.

Hopefully, the sanctuary state and city leaders will be put on notice and prosecuted if they continue to violate federal laws, which prohibit them from harboring and concealing illegal aliens from ICE with their noncooperation. Border Czar Tom Homan and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller have indicated to The Gateway Pundit that sanctuary jurisdictions are engaging in “systemic criminal violations” and that felony charges may be coming if they continue to defy federal law.

Leavitt further previewed this week’s upcoming events, marking the first 100 days of Trump’s return to the White House, including a press briefing with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Tuesday, President Trump’s rally in Michigan, and a Wednesday Cabinet meeting.

Tom Homan joined Leavitt in today’s briefing to discuss the Trump administration’s record-low border crossings and efforts to deport criminals from our interior.

WATCH:

Leavitt: As you know, this week marks the first 100 days of the Trump Presidency, and President Trump’s first 100 days have undoubtedly been the most monumental and historic of any administration in American history. President Trump has already delivered on hundreds of promises he made to the American people, and we will continue to talk about all of them throughout this week.

Tomorrow, I will host a press briefing at this same time, bright and early again, to highlight the Trump administration’s economic accomplishments with our Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. And tomorrow night, President Trump will travel to Michigan to discuss all that he has achieved on behalf of the American people. On Wednesday, the President will host an open press cabinet meeting, where each Cabinet member will discuss their success thus far and their plans for the future.

Today, we kick off 100 Day Week with a focus on the President’s historic effort to secure our southern border. Later this afternoon, President Trump will sign an executive order on law and order and another executive order on sanctuary cities. The first EO will strengthen and unleash America’s law enforcement to pursue criminals and protect innocent citizens.

The second EO is centered around protecting American communities from criminal aliens, and it will direct the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security to publish a list of state and local jurisdictions that obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration laws. After these are signed, the President will have signed more than 140 executive orders already, rapidly approaching the total number signed by the Biden administration over the course of four years in office.

Speaking of Joe Biden, it was his awful open borders policies that recklessly allowed more than 10 million illegal aliens to invade the United States over the past four years. Innocent Americans like Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungary, Rachel Morin, and so many others were viciously murdered at the hands of these illegal aliens as a result of Biden’s dereliction of duty.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Monday’s “100 Day Week” theme, as stated in the White House Press Schedule, is “THE FIRST 100 DAYS: THE BORDER IS SECURE.” Members of the media were hit in the face this morning upon arriving at the White House, where the photos of 100 violent criminal aliens dotted the lawn, exposing their crimes and showing exactly who Democrats and their liberal media cohorts are trying to protect. The individuals were arrested for heinous crimes such as murder, rape, and various sex crimes against children.

The Gateway Pundit will provide updates on President Trump’s executive orders once the documents are made available.

President Barack Obama, a former constitutional law professor, masterfully manipulated the judicial system to advance his progressive agenda, most notably in United States v. Windsor (570 U.S. 744, 2013). This landmark Supreme Court case struck down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), paving the way for same-sex marriage nationwide, a right later codified in Obergefell v. Hodges (2015). However, it was Justice Antonin Scalia’s blistering dissent in Windsor that exposed Obama’s tactic as a dangerous abuse of power, warning that it could unravel democracy itself. Scalia’s fears resonate today as President Donald Trump faces relentless lawfare from left-wing groups and sympathetic judges. Trump must either dismantle this democratic “weapon of mass destruction” or wield it to expose deep-state secrets, such as the Kennedy or Epstein files. Scalia’s warnings suggest the former is the wiser path to preserve our republic.

Obama’s Lawfare: The Windsor Sham

DOMA, enacted in 1996 under President Bill Clinton, defined marriage for federal purposes as a union between one man and one woman. In Windsor, Edith Windsor challenged DOMA’s Section 3 after being denied a spousal tax exemption following her same-sex partner’s death, forcing her to pay $363,053 in estate taxes. Despite publicly supporting traditional marriage during his 2008 campaign, Obama, sensing a shifting political landscape, revealed his true stance. His Justice Department agreed with Windsor that DOMA was unconstitutional but refused to refund her taxes, ensuring the case would reach the courts. This created a faux adversarial proceeding—both sides secretly aligned to secure a Supreme Court ruling advancing same-sex marriage.

Justice Scalia saw through this ruse, accusing Obama of orchestrating a collusive case to bypass Congress and the democratic process.

He wrote:

The Court today… decides this case (and even decides it the way the President wishes) despite his abandonment of the defense and the consequent absence of a case or controversy… This case is about power in several respects. It is about the power of our people to govern themselves, and the power of this Court to pronounce the law. Today’s opinion aggrandizes the latter, with the predictable consequence of diminishing the former.

(Windsor, 570 U.S. at 2699-2700, Scalia, J., dissenting). Scalia’s point is simple: Obama’s Justice Department pretended to fight the case while secretly agreeing with Windsor, manipulating the judiciary to rewrite marriage law without voter input. This wasn’t a genuine legal dispute but a staged performance to achieve a policy goal.

Scalia’s Warning: A Threat to Democracy

Scalia argued that this tactic—where the Executive refuses to defend a law, colludes with a friendly plaintiff, and relies on a sympathetic court—sets a perilous precedent. He lambasted the Court for enabling Obama’s ploy:

There is no justification for the Justice Department’s abandoning the law in the present case… The majority opinion makes a point of scolding the President for his ‘failure to defend the constitutionality of an Act of Congress based on a constitutional theory not yet established in judicial decisions,’ but the rebuke is tongue-in-cheek, for the majority gladly gives the President what he wants.

Scalia’s dissent warned that this approach undermines the judiciary’s role as a neutral arbiter:

The majority’s opinion… is a betrayal of our constitutional system, which assigns to the people, through their elected representatives, the right to determine the law. By entertaining this suit, the Court ensures that the Executive can bypass Congress and use the judiciary as a tool for policy-making.

Scalia’s concern is this: if the President can hand-pick a plaintiff and a court to rubber-stamp his agenda, laws no longer come from Congress or the people. Imagine a worst-case scenario where a President, a cooperative plaintiff, and a friendly judge—perhaps appointed by that President—collude to invalidate any law they dislike. This three-way collusion could nullify election results, tax codes, or gun rights, replacing democracy with a judicial dictatorship. Scalia saw this as a threat to both left and right, warning that it could “cheat[] both sides, robbing the winners of an honest victory, and the losers of the peace that comes from a fair defeat”

Scalia further cautioned that Windsor’s precedent could embolden future challenges to traditional marriage laws, predicting the Court’s rhetoric would be weaponized:

By formally declaring anyone opposed to same-sex marriage an enemy of human decency, the majority arms well every challenger to a state law restricting marriage to its traditional definition… The result will be a judicial distortion of our society’s debate over marriage.

This prophecy came true in Obergefell, where the Court relied on Windsor’s logic to mandate same-sex marriage nationwide, overriding state laws and voter referenda. Scalia’s fear was that such judicial overreach could extend to any issue, eroding the people’s right to self-governance.

The Extreme Danger: Democracy’s Endgame

Taken to its extreme, the Windsor tactic could dismantle democracy entirely. If a President can orchestrate lawsuits with friendly plaintiffs and rely on ideologically aligned judges, every law could become a product of this collusive triangle. For example, a left-wing President could collude to invalidate voter ID laws, claiming they’re discriminatory, while a right-wing President could target environmental regulations as unconstitutional. The result? Laws would reflect the whims of whoever controls the White House and the judiciary, not the will of the people. Scalia’s dissent emphasized this mutual destruction, urging the Court to let “the People decide” through democratic processes. He noted vibrant state-level debates, such as North Carolina’s 2012 vote to uphold traditional marriage (61% to 39%) and Maryland’s vote to allow same-sex marriage (52% to 48%), as evidence of democracy at work (Id.).

This threat should alarm both conservatives and liberals. A system where laws are made by collusive lawsuits, not elections, leaves no one safe. If a President can stack the courts and orchestrate cases, the checks and balances of our Constitution collapse, replaced by a form of judicial tyranny.

President Trump’s Dilemma: Destroy or Deploy

President Trump faces a stark choice. He is under siege from left-wing lawfare groups and judges who impede his agenda, from immigration enforcement to deregulation. Yet, unlike Obama, Trump has not colluded with right-wing legal groups to counter this onslaught. The Windsor precedent offers a tool to fight back, but Scalia’s warnings suggest it’s a Pandora’s box best closed.

If Trump chooses to use the tactic, his Justice Department, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, could coordinate with friendly plaintiffs in strategic cases. For instance, if the deep state refuses to release the Kennedy assassination or Epstein files, the DOJ could support a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit in a favorable jurisdiction, agreeing with the plaintiff’s legal theory to force disclosure through discovery. Such lawsuits could compel agencies to produce documents, emails, and testimony, exposing hidden truths about government misconduct. Other targets could include:

January 6 Defendants: Civil suits against the Bureau of Prisons for inhumane treatment or the DOJ for selective prosecution, revealing political targeting.
FBI Misconduct: Lawsuits alleging illegal surveillance or entrapment, forcing the agency to disclose its practices.
Censorship Collusion: Cases against Big Tech and government officials, uncovering public-private partnerships that silenced conservatives.

Discovery in these cases could surpass investigative journalism, bypassing FOIA denials and redactions to deliver transparency. Scalia noted the power of “concrete adverseness” to sharpen constitutional questions (Id. at 2687), and Trump could leverage this to let the public judge the deep state’s actions.

However, Scalia’s dissent implores a higher road: ending this practice altogether. He argued that the Court should have dismissed Windsor to preserve democracy, warning that enabling such collusion “pawns” the Framers’ gift of self-governance (Id. at 2711). Trump and the Republican Congress should explore legislative or judicial reforms to close this loophole, such as requiring the Executive to defend all laws or limiting courts’ ability to hear collusive cases. This would prevent mutual destruction, where both sides escalate lawfare until democracy is a hollow shell.

A Call to Action: Heed Scalia’s Warning

The Windsor tactic is a double-edged sword. Democrats opened this Pandora’s box, and Trump must decide whether to wield it or destroy it. Scalia’s dissent offers a clear warning: the preferable course is to end this practice, as it threatens the very foundation of our republic. If Trump cannot dismantle it, he should at least use it to expose the deep state’s secrets, letting the people decide through the transparency of truth. As Scalia lamented, “We might have covered ourselves with honor today, by promising all sides of this debate that it was theirs to settle and that we would respect their resolution” (Id. at 2711). Trump has a chance to honor that vision, restoring the people’s voice before the Windsor tactic ends democracy for good.

Kai Trump speaks at the 2024 Republican National Convention (Screen Image)

On Saturday, April 26, the First GOTUS (Granddaughter of the United States), Kai Trump, brought over 1 million viewers on an exclusive video tour of the White House residence, following her Easter weekend spent at the White House with her four younger siblings.

Kai, the eldest daughter of Donald Trump, Jr., first stepped onto the national political stage in July, 2024, earning universal praise for her heartwarming speech at the Republican National Convention.

During her speech, the 17-year-old Kai charismatically offered a glimpse at the more grandfatherly side of President Trump.

“A lot of people have put my grandfather through hell, and he’s still standing. The media makes my grandpa seem like a different person, but I know him for who he is. He is very caring, and loving, and he truly wants the best for this country. Grandpa, you are such an inspiration, and I love you,” Kai said.

Since giving her viral Republican Convention speech, Kai has continued to build upon her professional brand as a successful competitive golfer and vlogger.

Kai has committed to the University of Miami on a golf scholarship, and she is sponsored by two major golf brands. As part of Kai’s daily training regimen, she often plays rounds of golf with well-known professionals.

In Kai’s spare time, Kai creates videos showcasing her daily activities, from cooking healthy meals, to watching Space X rocket launches with Elon Musk.

Kai has now amassed over 5 million followers and subscribers across social media platforms.

This Saturday, on her Youtube channel, Kai excitedly introduced all of her charming, impeccably-mannered siblings to the public for the first time, meaningfully, while also providing viewers with an exceedingly rare opportunity to view historic rooms in the White House.

As the eldest First GOTUS, Kai held the privilege of staying in the Lincoln Bedroom, which President Trump has described as, “maybe the most important room in the whole country – the most important bedroom, definitely.”

Kai generously brought viewers on a tour of the Lincoln Bedroom, among other notable White House rooms that are inaccessible to the public on official White House tours, such as the presidential bowling alley, the White House gym, and President Trump’s state-of-the-art golf simulator, where Kai and her siblings showed off their swings.

Watch Kai’s truly wholesome White House tour video here.

During the tour video, Kai regularly trolled her eldest younger brother, 16-year-old Donald John Trump III (Donnie).

In a notable excursion, Kai and Donnie decided to set out on a late-night visit to the Lincoln Memorial.

There, Kai and Donnie began to prank their Secret Service agent by pretending to sneak away.

Kai burst out laughing, while she and Donnie amusingly hid behind a marble pillar, realizing that their Secret Service agent still had eyes on them.

In equally entertaining moments, Kai’s two youngest brothers, Tristan (13), and Spencer (12), bantered with Kai, while Kai showed off her world-class golf swing. Later, Kai trolled her brothers for being inferior to her at bowling.

Undeniably, however, the star of Kai’s video was her 10-year-old sister, Chloe, whose hilarious one-liners could melt anybody’s heart.

Chloe appeared ecstatic and giddy to be on camera, smiling broadly with every appearance. Chloe even participated happily in the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Toward the end of Kai’s video, Kai encouraged President Trump to do his famous “YMCA” dance for supporters at the White House.

The Trump family laughed as a crowd cheered for President Trump, whose dance moves appeared cleaner than ever.

Here is an alternate angle of President Trump’s crowd-pleasing dance.

Overall, Kai Trump’s “Secret White House Tour” video presented fresh content that offered a meaningful view into historic American landmarks, and the everyday lives of our First Family.

Undoubtedly, the future of all of America’s First Grandchildren appears extremely bright.

Dublin, Ireland Anti-Mass Migration Protest via Twitter

This weekend, a wave of anti-mass migration demonstrations erupted across Europe, with tens of thousands of people gathering in Ireland, England, Germany, and Poland to voice their frustrations with and opposition to the current migration policies imposed by Brussels and their globalist-led governments.

The demonstrations, fueled by growing concerns over national security, ever-increasing strained public services, and the erosion of cultural identities and their formerly high-trust societies, showcased the rising discontent in local communities, particularly in working-class and rural areas.

In Dublin, no fewer than 10,000 people flooded the streets—though some estimates placed the crowd closer to 100,000—to commemorate the anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising, the historic rebellion in which Irish nationalists fought to bring an end to British rule.

The protesters marched with their tricolor national flags and messages such as “Irish Lives Matter,” “Ireland for the Irish,” and “Ireland is Full,” rallying against the sustained, unrelenting influx of migrants, illegal and legal, that many believe are threatening the very fabric of Irish society.

The demonstrations were supported by Irish UFC champion Conor McGregor, who has been an outspoken critic of the government’s pro-mass immigration policies. McGregor posted a message on social media, urging the crowd to remain focused and respectful:

“Over 100 years ago, our brave men and women made the ultimate sacrifice so that we could live free today. Let us remind ourselves why we are here and also why we are not here. We are not here to build hatred amongst each other; we are here to shine our light on the failure of the Irish government,” McGregor said.

In the heart of sacrifice, I stand and speak for those who fought, and for those still fighting.

Have a great, peaceful, and productive day everyone!

Let your voice be heard.

The correct way! pic.twitter.com/WW9R5I2Cwb

The protest also witnessed clashes with counter-demonstrators, including far-left extremist groups and left-liberal pro-immigration activists. Despite the disruptions, the Irish nationalist crowd remained calm, marching peacefully through the city, with shouts of “Ireland for the Irish” resonating in the streets.

The mass migration issue in Ireland has grown increasingly contentious over the past two decades. Presently, the number of foreign-born residents has surged to over a million, constituting about 20 percent of the population, and the government’s open-door policy has led to severe social unrest, with many foreigners being put into social housing before needy Irish citizens.

Recent protests have been fueled by government efforts to house migrants in hotels across the country, often in small, rural communities ill-equipped to absorb large migrant populations, as well as by incidents of violence, including a stabbing of three small children carried out by a migrant in 2023.

Beyond rising social tensions, the economic fallout—worsened by successive crises, first the COVID-19 pandemic and then the Russo-Ukrainian war—has become increasingly impossible to ignore.

With the rising cost of housing and stagnating wages, many Irish citizens feel they are being left behind by a government more focused on globalist ideals than the needs of its own people.

This sentiment was echoed by participants in protests across Europe.

In Dover, England, hundreds of motorcyclists joined forces under the banner “Stop the Boats,” denouncing the UK’s handling of illegal immigration and the growing numbers crossing the English Channel. Similarly, in Warsaw, Poland, and across German cities like Dortmund, crowds gathered to voice their concerns over uncontrolled migration and the policies of the European Union.

The growing unrest in these protests is not only about sustained, unrelenting mass migration of people from alien cultures but also about the failure of European leaders to listen to the concerns of their citizens.

In Germany and Poland, demonstrators voiced their opposition to the EU’s increasingly authoritarian top-down approach to immigration, which they believe is out of touch with the struggles of everyday citizens.

The mass, sustained influx of migrants has placed immense strain on local infrastructure, housing, and public services, creating a sense of insecurity and frustration in small towns and rural areas that are seeing their once ethnically, culturally, linguistically, and religiously cohesive communities rapidly changing.

As the former UFC Champion Conor McGregor put it in his message to the Dublin protestors, “Together we rise, together we win. God bless us all. God bless Ireland.” His words seem to resonate across Europe as citizens from various nations begin to unite in their fight against mass immigration and the loss of national sovereignty.

As the protests keep growing in size and energy, it’s clear that populist and nationalist movements across Europe aren’t just hanging on—they’re building real momentum and starting to reshape the political landscape.
