- far-left Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) decided to invite a teenage illegal alien named Marcelo Gomes DaSilva. As CBS notes, Gomes da Silva was detained for several days last May because his student visa had expired and he was in the country illegally.

everything. That gives Trump extraordinary powers under the Constitution.
ICE is busy purchasing large holding facilities around the country for a reason and hiring a record amount of agents. But there’s something bigger about to happen. The Treasury is in charge of the banking system in this country.
Bessent has the power to FORCE banks to stop servicing accounts for illegals and helping to track them down, by following the money.
“Treasury Secretary Scott Beis is moving to remove illegal aliens from the U.S. financial system entirely. If you are not allowed to be in the country, you certainly should not be receiving taxpayer-funded benefits.” pjmedia.com/catherinesalga DOGE is working with Bessent, to follow the money and track down the illegals.
They are cutting off their government benefits, and preventing their cross border payments.
They will now use that same data to completely cut off illegals from our banking system. Trump is simply enforcing the laws. And guess what?
By FORCING the banks to comply and no longer service illegals in this country, it’s going to then lead to the enforcement of this LAW too: “8 U.S. Code § 1324a makes it unlawful for any person or entity to knowingly hire, recruit, or refer for a fee an individual who is not authorized to work in the U.S.
It is also illegal to continue employing someone after learning they are unauthorized to work.” The smart ones are self deporting. The rest are in for a very rude awakening.
Trump is completely ENDING illegal immigration in this country and setting an example for the rest of the world to do the same.

Additionally, Cuban authorities claim that assault rifles, handguns, improvised explosive devices (Molotov cocktails), body armor, telescopic sights, and camouflage uniforms were all seized from the boat, and they are alleging that the group planned to carry out “terrorist acts” inside Cuba. Another individual, Cuban national Duniel Hernández Santos, was arrested inside Cuba. Cuban authorities claim that he confessed to having been prepositioned from the United States to Cuba in order to facilitate the group’s landing. More to come.

JUST IN: DOJ Announces Arrest of Former US Air Force Pilot for Training Chinese Military Pilots
- The Department of Justice on Wednesday announced that a former US Air Force Pilot was arrested for training Chinese military pilots.
- Gerald Eddie Brown, Jr., 65, was arrested Wednesday in Jeffersonville, Indiana, the DOJ said.
- The 24-year Air Force veteran was “charged by criminal complaint for providing and conspiring to provide defense services to Chinese military pilots without authorization, in violation of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA).”
- “As alleged in the complaint, since at least in or around August 2023, Brown willfully conspired with foreign nationals and U.S. persons to provide combat aircraft training to pilots in the Chinese Air Force, known as the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF). This training was a defense service under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Brown, a U.S. person under the ITAR, lacked the required license from the State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) to provide that training to foreign persons or foreign military units,” the press release reads.
- Brown allegedly traveled to China with the stated intent of training the Chinese military pilots in combat aircraft operations. Upon his arrival in China, he sat for three hours of questioning “about the U.S. Air Force on his first day in the PRC,” the DOJ said. He further “prepared and presented a brief about himself for the PLAAF.”
- “The United States Air Force trained Major Brown to be an elite fighter pilot and entrusted him with the defense of our Nation. He now stands charged with training Chinese military pilots,” Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg said in a statement. “When U.S. persons – whether military or civilian – provide training to a foreign military, that activity is illegal unless they have a license from the State Department. The National Security Division will use all tools at its disposal to protect our military advantages and hold to account those who would violate the AECA.”

turned into something far more serious. Hungary and Slovakia proposed sending energy experts to inspect the reportedly “damaged” pipeline infrastructure. But the response from EU leadership allegedly took a dramatic turn. Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó reported that EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas suggested Hungary and Slovakia should instead consider sending soldiers to Ukraine.
If accurate, this marks a significant escalation. Because it would be the first time expectations of deploying troops from additional EU member states have been openly voiced in such discussions. Hungary has repeatedly warned against deeper European military involvement in the war, arguing it risks direct confrontation with Russia. Now Budapest says the pressure is no longer theoretical. It is becoming explicit. The implications are enormous:
• Expansion of the conflict beyond Ukraine’s borders • Increased risk of NATO-Russia confrontation
• Deepening fractures inside the European Union
• Growing tension over energy security and sovereignty Hungary’s government maintains it will resist any attempt to draw the country into the war. But the message coming out of Brussels suggests the strategic trajectory of Europe may be moving in a very different direction. The question now is no longer whether escalation is possible. It is whether Europe is already on that path.
🔊 The fact that 🇺🇦Ukraine, which is not a Member of either #NATO or the 🇪🇺EU, is blocking oil supplies to 🇭🇺Hungary, which is a Member of both NATO and the EU, and that none of the other Member States is defending Hungary, speaks volumes about how rotten the EU and NATO are. pic.twitter.com/20cS3c7EDf

Medical/False Flags
[DS] Agenda
- Just like in the Minnesota fraud case, where there are clearly billions of dollars in fraud, but Democrats are claiming political or racist motivations for the investigation, the left is now suggesting political motives behind the FBI raid of the Los Angeles school district and its superintendent’s home.
- Alberto Carvalho has been an outspoken critic of President Trump’s immigration enforcement policies. He appeared alongside Gov. Gavin Newsom at a 2025 bill signing aimed at shielding schools from ICE agents and publicly condemned enforcement actions targeting students. His conflict with the federal government over immigration enforcement has been public and escalating. In several high-profile incidents over the last year, LAUSD staff physically blocked federal agents from entering schools.
- However, he has a history of fraud investigations from his previous job, and the current investigation includes substantial evidence contained in public filings tied to a startup AI company.
- Federal authorities carried out the raid as part of a criminal investigation connected to AllHere, a failed AI startup that developed the district’s chatbot, “Ed.” Although officials have not publicly detailed the full scope of the probe, sources told the Los Angeles Times that the investigation involves Carvalho and centers on financial matters. The Florida property searched is linked through public records to Debra Kerr, a consultant who worked with AllHere and has longstanding ties to Carvalho from his time in Miami.
- Carvalho has led LAUSD, the nation’s second-largest school district, since 2022, and previously served as Miami-Dade County Public Schools’ superintendent for nearly 14 years.

President Trump’s Plan
- Vice President JD Vance and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Oz announced the Trump Administration is withholding Medicaid funding to Minnesota amid an investigation into the state’s rampant fraud.
- “We have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that are going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligation seriously to be good stewards of the American people’s tax money,” Vance said.
- Vance said the Trump Administration is stopping federal payments to the state government until the state government takes its obligations to stop the fraud.

- The FBI obtained phone records for its now-director Kash Patel during the Biden administration in 2022, while he was a private citizen, two sources confirmed to Just The News on Wednesday.
- The subpoena for the phone records were issued as part of an investigation into President Donald Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
- Patel that the bureau’s subpoenas were an example of federal overreach by unelected officials.
- “It is outrageous and deeply alarming that the previous FBI leadership secretly subpoenaed my own phone records – along with those of now White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles – using flimsy pretexts and burying the entire process in prohibited case files designed to evade all oversight,” Patel said.
