Senator Tom Cotton was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream to discuss the funding of DHS.
Senator Cotton blasted the Democrat party and its leadership for their radicalized ideology to continue preventing the funding of DHS.
“What do you think of the President’s call for getting rid of the filibuster?” Bream asked.
“The President is right that the Democrats have become crazy on this issue,” Cotton said.
“The reason we are at this impasse is that Democrats are using long TSA lines to throw a temper tantrum about deportations of violent criminal illegal aliens and funding of ICE and Border Patrol,” Cotton said.
“We prefunded ICE and Border Patrol last summer in our big budget bill because we saw just how radicalized Democrats have become,” Cotton continued.
“What you have seen over the last week is Chuck Schumer continually move the goal post. He makes a deal and then he retreats from that deal,” Cotton explained.
Senator Cotton explained the intention of the Democrats, who have been radicalized. He said their goal of unmasking agents is so they can terrorize ICE agents and their families.
“Democrats insist that we write a new law that ICE officers can’t wear masks. The reason why ICE officers wear masks is because radical left-wing Democrats will dox them, and then their street militias will terrorize their wives and their kids at their houses,” Cotton explained.
“That’s why the Democrats are inflicting long TSA lines on the American people,” Cotton continued.
The Senator defended President Trump’s common-sense policies of prioritizing the safety of the American people from the disaster Joe Biden invited in during the previous four years.
“What the President is trying to do from the beginning is to protect the country from the wave of illegal immigration that Joe Biden invited into America that has brought depraved, savage gang members and drug traffickers into our country,” Cotton said.
“Now, the President on Friday made the decision that he’s gonna fund TSA using monies that have been appropriated for other purposes, but for which Congress gave him discretion to use,” Cotton explained.

American mainstream media and Europe’s left manipulate statistics to support claims that illegal aliens and migrants do not increase crime and that they benefit the economy. The data tell a different story. Immigrants are disproportionately represented in arrests, convictions, prison populations, and on welfare rolls across EU countries.
In Germany, foreigners represent roughly 17% of the population but accounted for 41.8% of all criminal suspects in 2024 and approximately 39% of all convictions in 2023, a new high. In France, foreigners make up about 7.8% of the population by citizenship, yet account for 17% of all criminal suspects, more than twice their population share, rising to 40% of suspects for vehicle theft, 38% for burglary, and 31% for unarmed robbery.
In Italy, foreigners are approximately 8.9% of the population but are implicated in 28% of murders and attempted murders, 33% of assaults, and 41% of rapes, and make up 31% of the prison population as of mid-2022. In Spain, foreigners represent 13% to 14% of the population, account for 28% of criminal convictions, and make up 31% of the national prison population, rising to 49% in Catalonia. Belgium presents the most extreme disparity: foreigners are 13% of the population but constitute 43% of the prison population, with roughly 30% of those foreign inmates holding no valid residence permit.
The welfare data are equally stark. Of the 5.6 million people on welfare in Germany as of May 2024, 2.7 million — nearly half — were not German citizens. The unemployment rate among foreigners in Germany stood at over 16% in 2023 to 2024, roughly double the national average. EU-wide research identifies France, Belgium, Austria, the Netherlands, and the Nordic states as places where social benefits are higher for immigrants than for natives, with dependency persisting even after controlling for age, education, and work experience.
In France, 57% of Afghan signatories to integration contracts were unemployed 18 months after signing, with only half reaching an elementary level of French. In Italy, absolute poverty among foreign families is almost six times higher than among Italian-only families. According to official Italian government statistics for the 2022 to 2023 school year, 26.4% of students with foreign citizenship experienced school delays, compared with 7.9% of Italian students, and the dropout rate for students with foreign citizenship was 40.3%, nearly three times the 13.7% rate for Italian students.
Many in Europe are growing weary of open borders and unbridled migration, and a number of right-wing parties have made gains in recent elections. However, the battle for control remains contested, and the left has also notched recent victories. In France’s municipal elections that ended last Sunday, centrist and left-leaning forces held Paris, Lyon, and Marseille, where the National Rally had hoped to make inroads. In Slovenia’s parliamentary election, liberal Prime Minister Robert Golob’s Freedom Movement edged out the right-wing Slovenian Democratic Party led by former Prime Minister Janez Janša.
Italian voters rejected Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s flagship judicial reform in a constitutional referendum. The reform would have separated judges and prosecutors into distinct career tracks, a change Meloni’s party argued was crucial to reducing corruption and creating greater judicial independence. The loss weakens her ahead of the elections she must face by 2027.
The broader European picture nonetheless favors the right. Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party has been in power since 2022. France’s National Rally, led by Marine Le Pen, holds the largest share of seats in France’s parliament and advocates for strict immigration controls, French nationalism, and opposition to EU integration. Right-wing populists are now in government or supporting ruling coalitions in Belgium, Croatia, Finland, Hungary, the Netherlands, Slovakia, and Sweden. Poland’s Law and Justice party (PiS), which governed from 2015 to 2023, maintained close ties with conservative Catholic groups, sought to restrict abortion, and opposed special rights for LGBTQ people.
PiS lost power in 2023, and the current government under Donald Tusk is centrist and pro-EU, though Poland’s 2025–2030 migration strategy, introduced in 2024, is still framed around security, control, and selectivity, launched under the banner “Regain control. Ensure security.”
Though PiS lost power in 2023 to Donald Tusk’s centrist government, Poland’s 2025 to 2030 migration strategy is still framed around security, control, and selectivity. Slovakia, under Prime Minister Robert Fico, governs from a nationalist, socially conservative position aligned with Hungary’s Viktor Orbán; in 2025, the Slovak government amended its constitution to recognize only two genders and has resisted EU migrant relocation quotas.
“Another key example is Austria, where the Freedom Party, led by Herbert Kickl, secured 29.2% of the vote in September 2024 parliamentary elections, the first far-right election victory in Austria since World War II. Three centrist parties then formed a coalition government that excluded the FPÖ, following the longest government formation process in Austrian postwar history. Despite being blocked from power, the FPÖ now polls at around 36.4%, far ahead of the People’s Party at 20.8% and the Social Democrats at 18.1%.
Hungary under Viktor Orbán remains the most explicit example of a government fusing Christianity with a closed-border immigration policy. Orbán has declared that “Christianity is Europe’s last hope” and warned that Western European politicians “opened the way to the decline of Christian culture and the advance of Islam.” His government recognizes immigration as a threat to Hungary’s ethnic, cultural, and Christian identity, grants asylum to fewer than ten non-Europeans annually, has rewritten the constitution to define marriage exclusively as a union between a man and a woman, banned materials related to LGBTQ issues in schools, and built a razor-wire fence along Hungary’s southern border.
In June 2024, the European Court of Justice fined Hungary 200 million euros and imposed a daily penalty of one million euros for failing to implement EU asylum laws, describing Hungary’s conduct as “an unprecedented and exceptionally serious breach of EU law.” Hungary refused to pay, and the European Commission deducted the fine from Hungary’s EU budget allocation.
As of July 2025, €18 billion in cohesion and recovery funds remain withheld from Hungary.
Orbán’s response has been defiant. He posted publicly that the ECJ’s decision was “outrageous and unacceptable” and that “illegal migrants are more important to Brussels bureaucrats than their own European citizens.” He had previously promised in 2021 to “maintain the existing regime even if the European court ordered us to change it.” In 2023, Hungary recorded the lowest positive asylum decision ratio among all 27 EU countries, approving just 1.44% of claims.
In Germany’s most recent federal election, the center-right CDU/CSU won with 28.5% of the vote, while the anti-immigration AfD doubled its 2021 result to finish second at 20.8%, gaining 10.4 percentage points. The left-wing SPD collapsed to 16.4%, their worst federal result ever, the Greens secured 11.6%, and the FDP fell out of parliament entirely with just 4.3%. Voter turnout hit 82.5%, the highest since reunification. The AfD’s gains were strongest in the former East German states, where it won between 32.5% in Brandenburg and 38.5% in Thuringia. Despite finishing second nationally, the AfD remains locked out of government, as CDU leader Friedrich Merz and all mainstream parties have refused to govern with them.
Lorenzo Caccialupi, a right-leaning nationalist and outspoken Christian who became a popular content creator documenting migrant crime after appearing in a Charlie Kirk video, recently interviewed Alexander Sell, an AfD Member of the European Parliament from Germany. Sell called the result a historic shift. “This was a very important, historic day,” he said. “We have realized a right-wing majority with all of the right-wing parties from all over Europe and the Christian Democrats in the center, and this makes it possible to better return illegal migrants from Europe. That’s our mission.”
Sell added that the upcoming elections in Germany could further strengthen this movement, saying it was approaching 40 percent support. The two closed out the interview by pledging to “Make Italy Great Again” and “Make Germany great Again.”
Unfortunately, in Europe’s multi-party parliamentary systems, winning votes and holding power are two different things. The AfD finished second in Germany with 20.8% of the vote, but remains completely locked out of government because all mainstream parties have agreed never to form a coalition with it. The likely outcome is a CDU-SPD grand coalition that excludes the AfD entirely, meaning roughly one in five German voters elected a party with zero cabinet seats and zero ability to pass legislation.
Scott Jennings didn’t hold back during a CNN panel discussion and said the No Kings protestors were all “weirdo liberal boomers.”
“These No Kings rallies actually looked pretty representative, to me, of the Democratic coalition,” Jennings said.
He continued, “I saw people flying the hammer and sickle in New York City, I saw Hezbollah flag, I saw a Hamas flag, I saw Palestinian flags, I saw trans signs — I see weirdo liberal boomers out there,” Jennings said.
The CNN panelists tried to push back on Scott Jennings.
“You like hammer and sickle flags?” Jennings said.
The Iran War entered its 30th day on Sunday amid expectations of a coming U.S. ground operation.
The Washington Postreported Saturday that the Pentagon is preparing for “weeks of ground operations in Iran,” with plans that could involve “raids by a mixture of Special Operations forces and conventional infantry troops.”
Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reported Sunday thatMohammad Ghalibaf, the speaker of the Iranian parliament, warned any U.S. ground invasion would bring “severe punishment” for American forces and their regional allies. He observed Washington was simultaneously pursuing plans for a ground invasion while publicly signaling interest in negotiations. The Iranian government has conveyed skepticism that the Trump administration wants to negotiate in good faith.
In response to reported U.S.–Israeli airstrikes that damaged Tehran’s University of Science and Technology and another Iranian university, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned Sunday that U.S. universities in the Gulf could face retaliation unless Washington “condemn[s] the bombing of the universities” by noon Monday Tehran time. The IRGC advised employees, professors, and students to remain at least one kilometer from American campuses in the region.
Iran struck major aluminium facilities in Bahrain and the UAE on Saturday, injuring two workers at Aluminium Bahrain and causing significant damage at Emirates Global Aluminium’s Al Taweelah smelter. The parent company of Bahrain Steel declared force majeure on Saturday due to disruption caused by the war.
U.S.–Israeli strikes hit Iranian water infrastructure on Saturday, with Fars reporting a strike on a 10,000-cubic-meter reservoir in Haftkel, Khuzestan, while images from Tehran suggest Israel also destroyed Tehran’s Natural Resources and Watershed Management Organization, the civilian agency overseeing the capital’s water and environmental systems.
A hazardous fire erupted Sunday morning at Israel’s Neot Hovav industrial zone south of Beersheba as Iran responded to Israeli strikes. Israeli Channel 12 warned of “hazardous materials as a result of interception fragments hitting a gas pipeline,” due to the Iranian strikes.
After joining the war on Saturday morning, Yemen’s Houthi movement launched a second wave of attacks at Israeli targets overnight. Al Jazeera reported Saturday the Houthis are preparing a three-phase escalation involving: “continuous attacks” on Israeli military targets until Israel halts strikes on Iran; a blockade on all “Israeli-linked” goods transiting the Bab el-Mandeb Strait; and, if the U.S. attacks the Houthis directly, strikes on U.S. military bases.
Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said on Saturday that an agreement has been reached with Iran to allow 20 more Pakistani ships through Hormuz. Lloyd’s List reports that energy traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains severely constrained, with mainstream tanker movements still reduced to a trickle compared to the more than 100 vessels which transited the strait each day before the U.S. and Israel launched the war. Maritime tracking data shows that an average of two vessels per day have been permitted to cross the Strait of Hormuz since the war began.
In Lebanon, more than 1,000 people have been killed and nearly one-fifth of the population displaced in just two weeks, according to government figures cited by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), with intensified Israeli operations hitting areas south of the Litani River and Beirut’s southern suburbs.
The Islamic Health Committee, a Lebanese institution, reported that an overnight Israeli airstrike hit an ambulance in southern Lebanon, killing a paramedic. OCHA said that between March 2 and 25, Israeli strikes forced at least 50 primary health care centers and five hospitals to shut down, killing at least 53 medical workers and wounding 91 more on duty.
The student newspaper at Dominican University, located just west of Chicago, has launched an “ICE Tracker” mapping Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity in surrounding neighborhoods, just days after an illegal alien from Venezuela was charged in the murder of 18-year-old Loyola University Chicago freshman Sheridan Gorman.
The Dominican Star announced its effort to impede immigration enforcement on Wednesday.
The paper said it was directly inspired by a similar tracker created last fall by The Loyola Phoenix, the student newspaper at Gorman’s university.
Staff from the two papers even met to share details on how to build and operate the tool.
“We became inspired by their initiative and decided to create our own addition to serve the Dominican University community,” the Dominican Star editorial team wrote. “After having a meeting with [Loyola Phoenix editor-in-chief Lilli Malone and managing editor Julia Pentasuglio], we gathered more information to make this launch possible.”
The tracker consists of an online map with pins marking confirmed ICE activity.
Readers are asked to submit tips via the paper’s Instagram, Facebook, or email, including photos or videos taken from a safe distance, along with the location, time, number of agents, and vehicle details if possible.
The paper’s staff says it will verify reports before adding them to the map and will also monitor local community Facebook groups for additional sightings.
The launch comes amid intense national attention on the killing of Gorman.
On the night of March 19, the 18-year-old student was shot and killed while walking with friends near the pier at Tobey Prinz Beach in Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood.
Chicago police say 25-year-old Jose Medina-Medina, a Venezuelan national, approached the group wearing dark clothing and a mask, produced a handgun, and fired.
Gorman was struck in the back; the bullet exited through her neck.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities have described the shooting as random and have charged Medina-Medina with first-degree murder, attempted murder, and aggravated discharge of a firearm. He remains in custody.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that Medina-Medina is a “Venezuelan criminal illegal alien” who was apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol on May 9, 2023, and released into the United States under Biden administration policies.
One month later, he was arrested for shoplifting in Chicago but was released again.
ICE has lodged a detainer requesting that he be turned over to federal immigration authorities after any state proceedings conclude.
The Dominican Star’s announcement did not mention Gorman’s murder.
The Loyola Phoenix, whose own student was the victim, had already been running its ICE tracker since October 2025 and continues to promote it.
The paper drew criticism earlier this month after it posted, and then quickly removed, a social-media headline that referred to the suspect as an “Immigrant Man Charged in Murder of Sheridan Gorman, DHS Involved.”
An editor’s note later explained that the wording “didn’t reflect the most important elements in the story” and was taken down “to prevent any further harm to affected community members.”
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments next week in a constitutional showdown over President Donald Trump’s executive order that would end automatic birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal aliens or parents on temporary visas.
The case, Trump v. Barbara, stems directly from Executive Order 14160, titled “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship,” which Trump signed on his first day back in office.
The order directs all federal agencies, including the State Department, Department of Homeland Security, and Social Security Administration, to stop issuing citizenship documents, such as passports and Social Security numbers, to any child born on American soil unless at least one parent is a U.S. citizen or a green card holder.
Children born to parents who are here illegally, on temporary visas (such as student, work, or tourist visas), or otherwise not subject to full U.S. jurisdiction would no longer qualify for automatic citizenship under the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause.
The order explicitly interprets the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” to exclude those whose parents owe primary allegiance to a foreign country.
The Supreme Court granted review in December after multiple lower courts, including federal district judges and appeals courts, issued nationwide injunctions blocking the policy.
All lower courts that have ruled so far have declared the executive order unconstitutional, citing the 1898 Supreme Court precedent in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, which held that a child born in the U.S. to Chinese immigrant parents who were legal residents at the time was a citizen.
Oral arguments are set for Tuesday, with a final decision expected by late June or early July.
If the Supreme Court upholds the order, it will represent a major shift in American immigration policy, effectively ending the “anchor baby” incentive that encourages illegal crossings and birth tourism.
Only a handful of countries, mostly in the Americas, grant automatic citizenship based solely on being born there. Most nations in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia determine citizenship by bloodline or require at least one parent to be a citizen or permanent resident.
President Trump has repeatedly pointed out the national security and economic threats posed by the current system, pointing to “birth tourism” operations run out of China and other countries where pregnant women fly to the U.S. specifically to give birth and secure citizenship for their children.
Those children later return home but retain the ability to sponsor family members for U.S. visas or even claim benefits as adults.
Kayleigh McEnany, former White House press secretary and current Fox News contributor, broke down the stakes in a recent segment.
“Next week, the Supreme Court is slated to revisit President Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order,” McEnany stated. “It directs all U.S. government agencies to refuse issuing citizenship documents to children born to illegal immigrants or children who do not have at least one parent who is an American or a lawful permanent resident. It’s a law President Trump says is in place all over the world, and he’s right. You’re looking at that map. And if he wins in court, he would effectively cripple the booming birth tourism industry.”
BREAKING: The US Supreme Court is about to consider UPHOLDING President Trump’s executive order that ends birthright citizenship for illegal aliens and migrants who cheat the system
This is a MUST-WIN for our republic. Do the right thing, SCOTUS!
The executive order cites the original intent of the 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868 after the Civil War to grant citizenship to freed slaves. Trump’s legal team argues the amendment was never meant to apply to children of foreign nationals who entered illegally or temporarily and remain subject to the jurisdiction of their home countries.
There is historical evidence from the amendment’s drafters, including Sen. Jacob Howard, who stated in 1866 that the clause “will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States.”
Opponents, including the ACLU, Asian Law Caucus, and groups representing immigrants’ rights, argue that the order would create a massive number of stateless children born on U.S. soil and could retroactively cast doubt on the citizenship status of millions of people who were born to illegal aliens.
If upheld, the ruling would not require a constitutional amendment or act of Congress. It would simply affirm that the president can direct federal agencies to enforce a narrower reading of the Citizenship Clause through executive action.
Congress could later codify the change into statute for permanence.
Earlier this month, as The Gateway Pundit previously reported, investigative journalist and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer exposed the alarming scale of China’s birth tourism operations targeting the United States during his testimony before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution.
Schweizer detailed how over 1,000 birth tourism companies in China are almost exclusively focused on facilitating births in America, potentially resulting in up to one million U.S. citizens being raised in the People’s Republic of China.
These citizens, indoctrinated in China, could undermine U.S. sovereignty as part of a broader “asymmetric warfare” strategy by the Chinese Communist Party. They can even vote in American elections, potentially from abroad via mail-in ballots.
An Iranian missile attack in an industrial zone on Sunday obliterated a factory and prompted concerns of a hazardous materials leak, with potential pesticides being emitted from the fiery wreckage.
The incident occurred in Southern Israel’s Neot Hovav industrial zone.
It is unclear if anybody was wounded or killed.
Videns from the scene shows the building engulfed in flames, with thick black smoke billowing into the sky.

Another clip from the Associated Press shows the smoke billowing across the city.
Fire and rescue teams are working to seal and contain damaged chemical storage units at a factory at the Neot Hovav industrial zone in southern Israel following an Iranian missile strike and reports of a hazardous materials leak, which the deputy head of the fire service’s Southern District, Itzik Levy, says is a pesticide.
No casualties have been reported and staff from the facility and nearby plants have been evacuated.
Members of the public are asked not to approach the area, and residents of nearby areas are told to stay indoors, close windows and heed the orders of security and rescue forces until officials can gauge the situation.
Magisterial District Judge Hanif Johnson, who became Pennsylvania’s youngest-ever judge when he was elected in 2019 at 26, is now the subject of an active investigation by the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office after he shot a 10-month-old puppy on March 10.
Johnson, now 35, was walking his dog in Harrisburg when he encountered the loose puppy, named Lux.
According to authorities, he fired a single shot, striking the animal through the shoulder blade and out the back, shattering the bone.
The injury was so severe that Lux required emergency surgery and amputation of her front leg to survive.
The puppy’s family had been searching for her after she escaped.
The family could not afford the veterinary bill for emergency surgery, so they surrendered her to Pitties Love Peace, a local pit bull rescue.
The president of Pitties Love Peace, Mika Steifel, told CBS 21 that Lux would have needed to be euthanized without the surgery.
“She was shot through her shoulder blade and then out through her back, and it just really destroyed the bone, so she needed to have her front leg amputated,” Steifel said.
Lux is now recovering and in a foster home.
Johnson called the Harrisburg Bureau of Police himself shortly after the incident and reported the shooting, telling officers it was out of “necessity.”
Harrisburg police collected evidence at the scene and immediately turned the case over to the Attorney General’s Office to avoid any conflict of interest, as both city police and the Dauphin County District Attorney’s Office regularly appear before Johnson in court.
Dauphin County District Attorney Fran Chardo confirmed that he recused his office the same day.
“My attorneys appear before this magisterial district judge for preliminary hearings all the time,” Chardo said. “I invoked a conflict and immediately referred the investigation to the Office of the Attorney General.”
The AG’s office has confirmed it is investigating but has released no further details.
No charges have been filed against Johnson as of early Sunday morning. His judicial office declined to comment on the investigation but confirmed he remains on the bench and is actively hearing cases, according to a report from PennLive.
WATCH:
Johnson first gained attention in 2019 when he became Pennsylvania’s youngest magistrate judge.
In interviews at the time, Johnson spoke about overcoming skepticism due to his age and race while growing up in challenging circumstances.
He had faced prior arrests, once for an alleged robbery and once involving a fraternity hazing incident at college, but was exonerated in both cases, including after passing a polygraph in the robbery matter.
CBS 21 News reports:
Johnson said his ties to the community were the only thing that saved him after being jailed three times in the past.
He was previously arrested for an alleged role in a reported robbery, but after a polygraph test, the police were able to determine they had the wrong man, Johnson told CBS 21.
Johnson was also reportedly arrested for his role in a reported hazing incident at his college fraternity but was later exonerated.
He told CBS 21 he hoped his election showed that you can be young, black, face adversity, and still soar to greater heights.
“I want that little boy that grew up in the projects or grew up in a not-so-ideal situation, when they look at me, I want them to know there is hope because that is exactly what it is,” Johnson had said.
Woke Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) has called for “some form of reparation” for illegal aliens she says were “traumatized” by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during President Donald Trump’s deportation crackdown.
Speaking at a shadow hearing she hosted titled “Kidnapped and Disappeared: Trump’s Attack on Children,” Jayapal argued that federal reparations should be considered for illegal aliens targeted nationwide by ICE operations.
Jayapal also demanded “offensive actions around prosecutions,” saying that “the people that have been inflicting this harm need to be prosecuted” and “brought before us” so they can be held accountable for the trauma caused by deportations and raids.
Conservative and right-leaning voices seized on her remarks, calling them out as a push for taxpayer-funded reparations for “illegal immigrants” who violated U.S. immigration law.
Republican leaders have signaled firm opposition, with House Speaker Mike Johnson declaring that Republicans “are not going to be any part of any effort to reopen our borders or to stop immigration enforcement” as he blasted Democrats’ immigration stance as a “radical, crazy agenda.”
On Fox News, contributor Sara Carter argued that any reparations should be limited to legal U.S. citizens and suggested Democrats, not taxpayers, should bear the costs for what she described as the consequences of their immigration policies.
The comments drew mass criticism from conservative commentators who accused her of rewarding people who entered the country illegally and demonizing immigration enforcement agencies.
A viral post on X by the New York Post summarizing Jayapal’s call for reparations attracted more replies than likes, underscoring the controversy as many users echoed conservative media arguments that such payments would be unfair to U.S. taxpayers.
