WHAT WE'RE WATCHING
💥 UCLA’s chaotic protest spotlights the nation’s trend. Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters were detained at the University of California, Los Angeles, joining the more than 2,000 college students arrested nationally. Demonstrations appear to be growing in size and are becoming more violent as anti-Israel fervor pervades universities in the U.S. and around the world.
🔨 Texas migrants are hit with rioting charges after initially being dismissed. 140 illegal migrants were just indicted who last month stormed the southern border and charged National Guard troops. After the county judge initially threw out the charges, the El Paso grand jury reversed course. The crackdown comes Texas intensifies its battles with illegal migration through Operation Lone Star.
⛽️ President Biden is struggling to contain gas prices. Americans are experiencing 18 percent higher gas prices compared to this time last year, and prices are only expected to rise as Congress prepares sanctions on Iran. Reining in fuel prices depends on the global supply, placing Biden in a tough situation as he struggles to maintain relations with America’s oil-rich enemies like Russia, Iran, and Venezuela.
🛬 New documents shed light on Biden’s migrant importation program. Subpoenaed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) documents reveal the locations of over 50 airports used by the federal government to fly in illegal migrants to major American cities. Since January 2023, over 400,000 unlawful Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans have been flown into the U.S. and processed.
