Illinois has been known as a “sanctuary state” since August of 2017 when Governor Pritzker signed the TRUST Act (SB 31) into law.

This legislation restricts both local and state law enforcement from cooperating in any way with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

As we have seen in recent months, the reality of Illinois being a “sanctuary state” for illegal immigrants has continued to build to a boiling point.

If you thought the TRUST Act was radical legislation, this past week revealed the dangerous reality for citizens living in a “sanctuary state” with a governor who has little concern for his constituents – those he is obligated to protect.… Continue Reading

Unelected Judges Trying to Diminish Trump’s Executive Weight

David E. Smith — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 11:53:36 +0000

Written by Robert Knight

President Donald Trump is in a public wrestling match with Chief Justice John Roberts and some of the federal judiciary.

Along with congressional lawmakers, Mr. Trump has called for impeaching several U.S. district judges who have issued orders blocking his administration from carrying out key policies.

Mr. Roberts says this imperils the independence of the judiciary, without which abuses of power could become routine.

Mr. Trump says that this is nonsense, that these judges have gone well beyond their authority to hear cases and are trying to dictate national policy.… Continue Reading

Vice President Vance Schools CBS on Immigration Enforcement

Written by David E. Smith

In a Jan. 26 interview on CBS “Face the Nation,” left-wing program host Margaret Brennan asks Vice President JD Vance, “Do you personally support the idea of conducting a raid or enforcement action in a church service, at a school?”

The Vice President quickly points out that protecting America and Americans, including migrants here legally, is the Trump Administration number one priority. And when Brennan highlighted the concerns of the U.S.… Continue Reading

Trump’s Border Strategy Exposes Myths About Posse Comitatus

Our military was not built for urban renewal projects in Kabul or to referee Sunni versus Shia conflicts in Baghdad. Its primary purpose is to protect our country from foreign invaders. If the military cannot be deployed to address the millions of people strategically funneled into the country by ruthless drug cartels — cartels that are killing hundreds of thousands of Americans with fentanyl — then what purpose does it serve? The fact that these individuals do not remain near the border does not transform mass removals into a domestic law enforcement issue; it remains a matter of national defense.… Continue Reading

How Trump and the GOP Should Call Kamala’s Border Bluff

David E. Smith — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 10:00:58 +0000

Written by Daniel Horowitz

Here are two simple truths. First, the Biden-Harris administration has allowed more dangerous people, including known terrorists, to cross our border and be released into the country than ever before. Second, as vice president, Kamala Harris was appointed as the point person over the border. With the president essentially incapacitated, she is in charge.

Donald Trump and Republicans must relentlessly connect these two points without distractions. Harris recently promised to get tough on the border.

Joe Biden’s ‘Sanctuary Nation’ Policies Made Laken Riley’s Death Possible

Written by Daniel Horowitz

When George Floyd died under disputed circumstances in 2020, a spontaneous, rapturous global movement emerged to lionize him and use his death to demand changes to our policing and criminal justice system. The movement succeeded, and it resulted in the worst crime wave in a generation.

Laken Riley, a young nursing student in Georgia, was brutally murdered last week, allegedly by an illegal alien from Venezuela. Where are the cries of “justice for Laken”?… Continue Reading
