The Future of Naval Warfare: U.S. vs. China | Hugh Hewitt with Admiral Mark Montgomery

When Tom Homan announced an end to Operation Metro Surge last week, he declared it a success. Federal law enforcement detained thousands of illegal aliens, located many lost children, and most importantly, forced Minnesota to end its obstruction of immigration enforcement as a “sanctuary” jurisdiction.

The media painted the drawdown in the Twin Cities as a retreat. Homan appeared on CBS’ Face the Nation with a response: Other “sanctuary” jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement will see similar surges in their cities and states.

“I'm hoping other sanctuary cities look at what happened in Minnesota, and how we got to the place we're at, which I think is a good place,” Homan said.

If not, Homan warned, he will “flood the zone” in those jurisdictions to complete the mission of full enforcement. And he warned Minnesota officials that he will keep a security force in place there to ensure that “local police coordination stays in place.”

This is what America voted for.

Ed Morrissey: No Sanctuary For Sanctuaries

Blue state fraud continues — and as tax season approaches, Americans may wonder just how much of their money funds outright corruption.

In California, a firm that was paid more than one hundred million dollars to build housing for the homeless failed to deliver. Instead, its CEO embezzled more than two million dollars, spent on a luxury lifestyle and contributions to Democratic politicians, including Gavin Newsom. 

Oregon paid over two million dollars in Medicaid funds to what was billed as an addiction recovery provider. It was actually a drug den, linked to Tren de Aragua. Its operators were tied to a sixty million dollar fraud ring that laundered money by sending it to Rwanda.

Not long ago, the Biden administration demanded law abiding Americans account for six hundred dollar Venmo transactions. That’s some nerve, while this kind of lawlessness flourishes.

Many of you may have seen it: A jury in New York awarded a young woman $2 million over a transgender procedure as a minor.

It’s the first time a so-called detransitioner has won a case before a jury. She was 16 years old … and she had a double mastectomy, having been pressured by medical authorities.

The New York Times ran a big story headline: “Woman Wins a Lawsuit Over Gender Surgery as a Minor”

And then, one day later, here’s another headline: “Doctor’s group endorses restrictions on gender related surgery for minors.” That would be the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Then, just a day after that: a statement came from the American Medical Association saying that the best standard of care for minors is to delay these treatments.

You know the pro LGBTQ movement is trying to say there’s nothing big here, but this is a wave.

We’re seeing social ridiculousness now being called to account.

May it continue.
