Aurora City Council Member: Leaks Interfered with Immigration Raids

By Hannah Knudsen | Breitbart Leaks have interfered with the work of border czar Tom Homan, Aurora City Council Member Danielle Jurinsky said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily. Jurinsky is the councilwoman who blew the lid off the violent gang activity of Tren de Aragua in her city, despite constant smears against her and denials from officials. But, she was proven to be right, and now, Homan is on the case. While there have been arrests, however, some of the operations have been delayed or thwarted due to leaks, she revealed. “I heard it was over 100 people arrested,” host Mike Slater said. “But then I heard that it was leaked beforehand, and they went, they knocked on some doors, and they were empty.” READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Trump’s Dept. of Education sees early wins ahead of Linda McMahon confirmation hearing

By Katherine Hamilton | Breitbart President Donald Trump’s Department of Education (DOE) has seen a burst of early victories since Jan. 20 and ahead of Education Secretary nominee Linda McMahon’s confirmation hearing on Thursday morning. Ultimately, the 45th and 47th president wants to see the DOE abolished and more power sent back to states and communities, and he has quipped that he wants McMahon “to put herself out of a job.” But for the time being, the DOE has feverishly tackled diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, gender ideology, antisemitism, and wasteful spending that been woven into the fabric of the American education system. Many of the changes have been prompted by Trump’s sweeping executive orders, which have prompted whole-of-govern...

New York court considers law that would allow 800,000 non-citizens to vote

By Alana Mastrangelo | Breitbart A staggering 800,000 non-citizens could reportedly be voting soon in New York City elections, as a court is considering legislation this week that would allow them to register to vote ahead of the city’s elections. A top New York court is set to hear arguments regarding the matter on Tuesday, according to a report by Politico. This comes after an appellate court struck down Democrats’ efforts to permit non-citizens to vote last year. If the initiative by Democrats is successful, around 800,000 non-citizens living in New York City will be allowed to vote in city-level elections, such as the upcoming mayoral election this November, the report noted.

Trump directs Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to ‘stop producing new pennies’

By Elizabeth Weibel | Breitbart President Donald Trump announced he had instructed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to have the Treasury Department stop making new pennies, explaining that it costs more than two cents to make them. “For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “This is so wasteful! I have instructed my Secretary of the US Treasury to stop producing new pennies. Let’s rip the waste out of our great nations budget, even if it’s a penny at a time.” Trump’s post comes after Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) wrote in a post on X in January that the penny costs more than three cents to make and cost American taxpayers “over $179 million in FY2023.” READ TH...

NGOs shutter migrant shelters as releases end and money dries up

By Randy Clark | Breitbart Non-Government Migrant Shelters (NGOs) are feeling the impact as illegal entries continue to dwindle across the southwest border after President Trump’s swift actions to control the border and carry out mass deportations. Non-profit organizations that received hundreds of millions of dollars from the federal government under the Biden Administration began to close their doors. From Texas to California, the shelters that once counted on a steady flow of cash from the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Food and Shelter Program and later by FEMA and Customs and Border Protection jointly under the Shelter and Services Program are no longer receiving released asylum-seeking migrants from the Department of Homeland Security. The released migrants,...

Pollak | Breitbart President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the U.S. would take over Gaza and remove debris, tunnels, and explosives left there by Hamas after the war with Israel, adding that he saw America taking a “long-term ownership position.” Trump said: “The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too.

According to AP, USAID staffers said they “also tracked more than 600 employees who reported being locked out of the agency’s computer systems overnight.” READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART
