    Donald Trump has revoked deportation protections for over 600,000 Venezuelan migrants.

    The revocation was confirmed by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in an interview on Wednesday morning.

    The order rescinds a previous order from Joe Biden’s Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, that extended the protections for a further 18 months.

    “Before he left town, Mayorkas signed an order that said for 18 months, they were going to extend protection to people on Temporary Protected Status, which meant they were going to be able to stay here and violate our laws for another 18 months,” Noem said. “We stopped that.”

    “We are going to follow the process, evaluate all of these individuals that are in our country, including the Venezuelans that are here,” she continued.

    As of December 2024, there were over 600,00 Venezuelan migrants benefitting from TPS, although estimates vary.

    Noem added that they remain in active discussions with other countries, and “the President clearly will exercise all the authority and power that he has to make these countries take them back.”

    She was also asked about whether the administration was open to using the Guantanamo Bay center in Cuba as a possible detention site.

    “We’re evaluating and talking about that right now,” she responded.

    ”So – President’s decision, but it’s an asset, and we’re going to continue to look at how we can use all of our assets to keep America safe.”

    TPS is a humanitarian program that grants temporary legal status and work authorization to nationals of designated countries experiencing ongoing armed conflict, environmental disasters, or other extraordinary conditions that prevent safe return.

    For Venezuelans, TPS was initially designated in March 2021 as a result of the country’s political, economic, and humanitarian crisis under their socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro.

    The majority of Venezuelans residing in America are supportive of Donald Trump, citing the chaos and destruction socialism has inflicted on their homeland.

    During his last administration, Trump imposed major sanctions on the Venezuelan regime and, at one point, even floated the possibility of military intervention to remove Maduro from power.

  7. Attorney General Bailey Hauls China to Court for Unleashing COVID-19 on the World
    Home 9 Press Release 9 Attorney General Bailey Hauls China to Court for Unleashing COVID-19 on the World

    JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Today, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey finished his trial against China.

    “Today, we hauled China into court to hold them accountable for unleashing COVID-19 on the world,” said Attorney General Bailey. “Missouri is the only state in the nation to file suit to hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable for causing and exacerbating COVID-19. Today was a great day: the judge was engaged in our arguments and asked detailed questions. We feel confident that we will collect on the $25 billion we’re demanding in damages. And if China refuses to pay up, we will seize Chinese assets instead.”

    The Court today stated Attorney General Bailey presented “an abundance of uncontroverted evidence” that China harmed Missourians by unleashing COVID-19 on the world. The judge expressly shared he is inclined to rule in Missouri’s favor.

    Missouri sued China in 2020 for causing and exacerbating the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically for thwarting the production, purchasing, and import and export of medical equipment, such as personal protective equipment (PPE), used in COVID-19 efforts. Attorney General Bailey is demanding remedies to the tune of $25 billion. To date, China has refused to appear in court, making a default judgment in Missouri’s favor likely.

    The Court is expected to rule in the coming weeks.

  8. Records Show Legal and Illegal Aliens Are Voting in Maine and Costing MaineCare a Fortune
    Records obtained by the Maine Wire show that legal and illegal aliens are voting in Maine’s elections and costing taxpayers a fortune in MaineCare benefits

    As many as 40 percent of the noncitizens present in Maine, including those who entered the U.S. illegally and those with legal alien status, may have voted in the 2024 elections or had votes cast in their names, according to records obtained and reviewed by the Maine Wire.

    That figure is based on a collection of MaineCare records obtained by the Maine Wire, as well as voter data from the Central Voter Registration (CVR) system maintained by Maine’s Secretary of State. While the MaineCare records show the individual’s immigration status, date of birth, and home address, the CVR records show when they registered to vote and whether they voted in a given election.

    Taken together, the MaineCare records and CVR data offer the first public proof that noncitizens have been illegally registered to vote in Maine and are illegally voting or having illegal votes cast in their names in potentially large numbers.

    [RELATED: Exclusive: Records Show Votes Cast Under Names of Non-Citizens in Multiple Maine Elections Since 2016…]

    Previously, the Maine Wire reported in October that MaineCare and CVR records related to 18 noncitizens revealed that six of the individuals were registered to vote, and five had votes cast in their names since 2016.

    Editor’s Note: Since the publication of the Maine Wire’s original investigation into noncitizen voting, we have offered the opportunity to review our underlying records in person to both Republican and Democratic elected officials. While no Democrats have accepted our offer, several Republicans have, and they can attest to the veracity and accuracy of our reporting. We have also shared redacted but sensitive versions of the records underlying this reporting with the Bangor Daily News, the Maine Monitor, WGME, and any other media outlet that has requested proof of the assertions made in our reporting. The information shared with these outlets is more than enough for them to prove for themselves that noncitizens are registered to vote in Maine.

    None of these news outlets have filed reports of their own based on those records.

    We have taken this approach toward sharing proof of our reporting while simultaneously refusing to turn over the records to Maine’s Attorney General and Secretary of State in order to protect the identity of any source(s). We have also declined to turn over our records to agents of the state in order to protect the identities of the noncitizens who may, in fact, themselves be victims of a form of identity theft. We understand the gravity of the facts conveyed in these reports and have taken unusual and extreme measures to prove that our reporting is accurate and true.

    Since the original report, the Maine Wire has acquired additional MaineCare records and cross-referenced those with CVR voting records as well to determine that 40 percent of the sample is registered to vote illegally. In total, the Maine Wire has identified ten noncitizens who are registered to vote out of a total population of 25 noncitizens enrolled in MaineCare.

    The MaineCare records denote “Alien Status” according to three options: 1- US Citizen, 2-Legal Alien, or 3-Other.

    The first category includes both natural-born and naturalized U.S. citizens, while the second category includes lawfully present refugees, Green Card holders, approved asylum applicants, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, and other classes of legal immigrants.

    The third status includes unapproved asylum applicants on parole, illegal aliens, and other noncitizens who lack legal authorization to be present in the U.S.

  9. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) vowed that he would not “take food away from anybody,” adding that if people like McDonald’s cheeseburgers, they “should be able to get them.”

    During Kennedy’s confirmation hearing before the Senate Finance Committee, he explained that if people like to eat McDonald’s or Hostess Twinkies, they “should be able to do that,” but people should know what the health impacts are of eating those kinds of foods.
