A new Inspector General report confirms Border Patrol was overwhelmed and failed to properly screen migrants — including individuals on the terror watchlist. The previous administration let this happen. Now, we have people living in our country who pose a real threat.

California voters overwhelmingly passed Prop 36 to end the smash-and-grab chaos and hold repeat criminals accountable. But Governor Gavin Newsom—who opposed it—has now REFUSED to fund it. This isn’t leadership. It’s a slap in the face to voters and small businesses across

Major progress on the Tijuana Sewage Crisis!. For the first time in awhile, it's now safe to swim in parts of Coronado and up the coast — including the waters where our Navy SEALs train. We’re not done yet — Imperial Beach still needs help — but this is proof our efforts are

We are getting these stories at least once a day, but not a peep from the media. Only when it fits the narrative. Deportations of illegal criminals must take place!.

California has poured billions of dollars into homelessness, yet the crisis has only grown worse. It is time to abandon the failed Housing First approach that enables drug and alcohol abuse. Real change requires tough love—helping people get clean, rebuild their lives, and regain

Finally! This should not have taken as long as it did, but thanks to everyone’s collective pressure, common sense wins, but more importantly children win!.

BREAKING: Gov. Gavin Newsom signs bill that makes it a felony for older adults to buy 16- and 17-year-olds for sex. The bill, AB 379, also makes it a crime again in California to loiter with the intent to buy anyone for sex.

For decades, the Tijuana Sewage Crisis has polluted our waters, closed our beaches, and harmed our way of life. But because we all spoke out, Washington finally listened. Thanks to the @EPA and @epaleezeldin Mexico has agreed to fund and build its own sewage treatment

Tai Dang, a Vietnam national with a violent criminal history-including homicide, burglary, weapons charges, and assault was arrested by ICE San Diego. He will be remanded into ICE custody for removal. ICE will not stand by while dangerous criminals hide behind our borders.

Homelessness won’t be solved by throwing more money at temporary fixes. The root of this crisis is untreated mental illness. I’m hopeful this Executive Order will finally address that by focusing on real treatment and care so we can break the cycle that keeps people on the

Government never stops reaching into your pocket. Today, the City of San Diego proved just how out of touch they are—approving parking fees at Balboa Park. This park belongs to the people, yet incompetent politicians are turning it into another cash grab. Absolutely insane.

Finally, action on the Tijuana Sewage Crisis!. For over 30 years, raw sewage from Mexico has been flowing into the U.S., polluting our beaches and even stopping our Navy SEALs from training. Today, we’re turning the tide. Thanks to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin and the EPA,

Allowing people to suffer and die on our streets is not compassion—it’s failure. For years, California has poured billions into homelessness while ignoring the root causes: mental health and addiction. The new Executive Order focuses on treatment, recovery, and restoring safety

The permanent 100% solution to the Tijuana River Sewage Crisis we signed yesterday in Mexico City is a massive win for our environment, our border, the U.S.-Mexico relationship, and for the millions of people who have been impacted by this crisis.
