What did they know, and when did they know it? A new report claims Minnesota state officials knew about widespread welfare fraud long before taking public action. @RepJamesComer tells @FoxNews' @BillMelugin_ about the House Oversight Committee probe, which says multiple whistleblowers sounded the alarm years ago.

Mahender Makhijani, 44, a lawful permanent resident from India living in Corona del Mar, was arrested this morning on a federal criminal complaint charging him with defrauding a bank out of nearly $100 million. Makhijani controlled Cantor Group V LLC, a Newport Beach-based company that had a lending agreement requiring it to pledge only first-lien real estate loans to the victim bank. Makhijani falsified title policies from September 2024 to April 2025 to make it appear Cantor held first-lien positions when other creditors were ahead. Makhijani and a subordinate forged documents in Adobe, altered metadata, and submitted the falsified records to the victim bank, while also providing misleading explanations during calls and in spreadsheets. If convicted, Makhijani faces a statutory maximum sentence of 30 years in federal prison. He is expected to make his initial appearance this afternoon in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana, California. All defendants are presumed innocent until convicted in court. Our nation’s economy and welfare depend on a healthy banking system. When lenders are deceived, it has downstream effects on consumers and businesses.

🚨 DPS Brush Team, USBP Apprehend Group that Included Russian Special Interest Alien in Starr Co. 🚨 As part of Gov @GregAbbott_TX’s #OperationLoneStar, the @TxDPS Brush Team and U.S. Border Patrol working an anti-smuggling operation in Starr Co apprehended a group of 10 illegal immigrants near Roma on June 7, 2026. Among the group was a female special interest alien from Russia. All 10 illegal immigrants were referred to U.S. Border Patrol. This apprehension highlights the strong partnership between state and federal law enforcement agencies working together to deter human smuggling, enhance border security, and prevent gotaways from making it further into the interior of the country. Operation Lone Star continues to deliver results, and the mission continues. #BorderSecurity #RGV #OperationLoneStar #TxDPS #USBP #StarrCounty #NationalSecurity

BREAKING: The Somali FIFA World Cup referee who was denied entry into the U.S. by CBP was flagged with “derogatory” information, including “association with suspected members of terror organizations”, making him inadmissible for entry into the U.S., a Trump admin official tells @FoxNews. Statement to FOX: "This individual was seeking admission to the United States. Upon further inspection by CBP, derogatory information, including association with suspected members of terror organizations, was discovered making the traveler ineligible for admission to the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The traveler was refused admission and given immigration forms that provide the section of law used to complete an expedited removal under 8235 of the INA. President Trump's administration will not allow any security threat to enter our country - full stop.”

Austin Metcalf's dad, Jeff, just unloaded on Karmelo Anthony. "We were robbed, don't look down, of all of these things." "I said from day one, this was never about race, please don't politicize it. But what did you choose to do, both. It's about right and wrong. We're all humans. We all bleed the same color. "You're free to make choices all you want, but you're not free from those consequences. You will face those consequences starting today."  "People think that grief is sadness but its not. IT"S RAGE!!! (slamming his hands on the table.) Pure unfiltered rage,' he shouts. "You failed your parents, your failed yourself and you failed society, You don't belong in this community," he says to Karmelo. "You're going to prison, You can't even look me in the eyes right now but you can stab my fu**ing son in the heart."

What was the end result of Democrats’ DHS shutdown? Zero ICE reforms, and ICE and CBP are now funded with an additional $70 billion through the rest of Trump’s presidency. After negotiations fell apart in the Senate, Republicans simply went around Dems and funded Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda on their own, & Dems were powerless to stop it. And this is *on top* of the money ICE & CBP already got in the One Big Beautiful Bill last year. ICE & CBP now have more money coming to their coffers than they ever would have if there had been no DHS shutdown.

Sanctuary cities built a system where criminal illegal aliens walk out of jail instead of into ICE custody. The House just passed my $350M ICE provision. It now heads to President Trump’s desk. Arrest them. Detain them. Deport them.
✅ PASSED: The Secure America Act locks in $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol, Schumer-proofing the border for the full remainder of President Trump's term. EVERY Democrat in both chambers voted AGAINST this bill, proving once again they will fight harder for open borders than for the safety of our communities. The American people voted for a secure border and the rule of law, and Republicans are delivering on the mandate.

.@SpeakerJohnson taking a victory lap over Democrats after the successful vote: "By funding it for three years is we've taken away their ability to cut that funding, to block that funding, or to take hostage the funding for the remainder of the Trump administration. They gained absolutely nothing from their reckless crusade to return our country to open borders and unfettered mass migration. "

Before the Karmelo Anthony murder trial, there was a completely fabricated narrative that wasn’t presented in court. In reality, what seemed like a complex situation was actually quite simple. The force used was excessive, and there was no group attacking Karmelo. This was the correct decision.

#VIDEO: DOZENS of illegal immigrants recovered from a burning trailer in South Texas. On June 4, 2026, @TxDPS Troopers responded to assist Border Patrol Agents in a vehicle pursuit involving a tractor trailer along Highway 281 near Falfurrias. During the pursuit, Troopers deployed a tire deflation device in attempt to stop the vehicle – but the driver continued to evade until the tractor trailer caught fire. Troopers and Agents immediately removed the driver and a passenger from the vehicle’s cab and placed them under arrest. At that time, the driver informed law enforcement of additional occupants inside the trailer. Troopers and Agents quickly unlocked the trailer and rescued 39 suspected illegal immigrants before the trailer became engulfed in flames. All subjects were medically screened for injuries prior to being taken into custody. This incident is a reminder of the dangerous lengths human smugglers will go to when engaging in this criminal activity, and DPS is proud to work with our federal partners, like #USBP, to stop them. #OperationLoneStar

She did not "get caught". She turned herself into authorities. Her dog's mail in ballot was successfully counted in the statewide election to recall Gov. Newsom in 2021, but it was rejected in the 2022 federal primary election. Proof of ID or residence is not required in CA elections. But proof of residence & registration is required for first time voters in a *federal* election. Only the dog's ballot in the *federal* election was rejected. The dog's mail in ballot was accepted for the CA state election!
Thank you Senator for highlighting the REPUBLICAN woman who registered her dog to vote and GOT CAUGHT BECAUSE of an ID requirement.
Community note
The woman, Laura Yourex, intentionally registered her dog to vote in an effort to expose California's weak voting safeguards. She voluntarily reported herself to the city attorney after the dog's vote was successfully counted in 2021. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
