I questioned @AGEllison about the Minneapolis Police Department's willingness to assist ICE in arresting a person wanted for a crime. Ellison says, "I think so, yes." Meanwhile, public statements from Minneapolis officials have explicitly stated the exact opposite.

SHOCKING READ: "The stalled Homeland Security appropriations bill costs $64 billion, less than the fraud pervading entitlement programs found back in 2024. Maybe another solution is to do a better job policing fraud..." https://t.co/P2vHWF0Ump

And not even any Republicans (save two) seem to want to do anything about it.

Today’s hearing focused on the facts in Minnesota—not defending any specific narrative. ICE and CBP have important jobs to enforce our laws and keep us safe. My goal is to restore trust in these agencies, and that starts with honest self-assessment and accountability.

Open borders advocates claim ONLY 14% of deported illegals are violent criminals—but that’s 56,000 out of 400,000 people. If your loved one is harmed by one of those 56,000, that ONLY 14% statistic means nothing. One victim is one too many. https://t.co/IcBKZSa9H0

Rand Paul confronted podcast Katie Couric after she argued it is noteworthy that reportedly less than 14% of illegals arrested by ICE had violence-related charges or convictions.

🚨 NEWS: During today’s hearing, @AGEllison testified under oath that he WILL comply with final orders of removal. I'd love to see ICE hold him to it & formally request Minneapolis’ cooperation. If that cooperation materializes, today’s hearing was a major win.

I asked @AGEllison if he'd be willing to put out a public statement that reiterates the LAW in which the Minneapolis Police Department & all local law enforcement across Minnesota would comply with final orders from ICE & federal law enforcement. He responded by saying, "That's

Sen. Rand Paul explains why he breaks with President Trump on spending: “I’m for smaller government. When spending bills come forward, I look at if it’s spending too much. If you add them all up they add $2 trillion in deficit just for this year. That’s too much.”

🚨NEW: Rand Paul *FIRES BACK* at Katie Couric for downplaying ICE arrests of violent criminals🚨 COURIC: "14% [is] such a low percentage of 400k people!" PAUL: "If your daughter gets r*ped & he's one of the 14%, I don't think you're gonna quibble about whether it's 14 or 64."

Andy Beshear is using Christianity as cover for blocking a ban on irreversible surgeries for minors. Twisting faith to justify harming kids is a sick distortion to push the far Left radical agenda. Faith protects the innocent, it does not endanger them.

Europe stopped doing these surgeries over a year ago because of complications, a minor’s lack of ability to give informed consent, and studies which now show suicide risk is equal for kids with surgery and without. Studies also now show that gender confusion resolves in over 90%

Citing insufficient research, European health bodies from Sweden to France are taking a more conservative approach to gender-affirming care for minors.

The irony: a governor who once sent state police to arrest churchgoers on Easter Sunday now wants to nullify federal immigration law. Selective enforcement at its finest.
🚨 NEW: Democrat KY Gov. Andy Beshear DEMANDS Trump withdraw ICE agents from EVERY city in the U.S. Beshear literally attempted to ARREST Christians on Easter Sunday in 2020, deploying the state police to churches across the state. That’s what a REAL tyrant looks like. It was

For 70 years, the U.S. has allowed the executive branch to overreach on military action—sidestepping Congress and the Constitution. It’s time to reverse this trend, restore real checks and balances, and stop endless executive power grabs. https://t.co/dnE91WSaBx

The majority of Americans are concerned about the economy and want lawmakers to address the mounting debt, but the deficit ratio to GDP growth is on track to surpass WWII levels

In 2011, I gave a speech warning that Washington was spending without accountability and refusing to budget responsibly. Today, the debt is higher, the waste continues, and the American taxpayers are left to foot the bill.
