Eagle Pass, Texas — As the federal government begins a new fiscal year, migrant border crossings and apprehensions immediately began to climb. As Breitbart Texas watched, border crossings in the nation’s busiest sector continued unabated. Within a few short hours Saturday morning, nearly 300 migrants had already been apprehended near Eagle Pass, Texas. Shortly after midnight on Saturday, a single migrant group of nearly 200 migrants managed to safely ford the Rio Grande and surrender to authorities in Texas, according to a source within CBP. The group of migrants, mostly Venezuelan, Nicaraguan, and Cuban nationals were among the first to cross into the United States in the brand new Fiscal Year 23. The unabated crossings are a continuation of back-to-back record-breaking years for migrant apprehensions under the Biden administration.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 6 WASHINGTON (AP) — The defense team in the Capitol riot trial of the Oath Keepers leader is relying on an unusual strategy with Donald Trump at the center. Lawyers for Stewart Rhodes, founder of the extremist group, are poised to argue that jurors cannot find him guilty of seditious conspiracy because all the actions he took before the siege on Jan. 6, 2021, were in preparation for orders he anticipated from the then-president — orders that never came. Rhodes and four associates are accused of plotting for weeks to stop the transfer of presidential power from the Republican incumbent to Democrat Joe Biden, culminating with Oath Keepers in battle gear storming the Capitol alongside hundreds of other Trump supporters. Opening statements in the trial are set to begin Monday. Rhodes intends to take the stand to argue he believed Trump was going to invoke the … [Read more...] about Trump at center of Oath Keepers novel defense in Jan. 6 case

LAS VEGAS (AP) — It's been five years since carnage and death sent his family running into the night, leaving them separated and terrified as a gunman rained bullets into an outdoor country music festival crowd on the Las Vegas Strip. The memories don't fade, they sharpen, William “Bill” Henning said as he prepared for ceremonies in Las Vegas marking the date of the Oct. 1, 2017, massacre. “Chaotic and unreal," he recalled. “A human stampede. People were bleeding and screaming and running. We all got separated. We didn’t know who was alive. That was the most difficult.” He's now part of a survivor community thousands strong, one that's helped him sort through the horror of what happened during the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. Fifty-eight people were killed and more than 850 were injured among a crowd of 22,000. In the years since, the grim drumbeat of mass shootings has continued: schools in Uvalde, Texas, and Parkland, Florida; grocery stores in Buffalo, … [Read more...] about Vegas survivors signal hope even as mass shootings persist

From the school board to the operating room, transgender rights for children erode parental rights, forcing parents to fight back and reclaim their voices. Parents realize that their vote can determine whether their fundamental rights are safeguarded or discarded . Depending on which state a family resides in, a parent could either have the power to prevent medical experimentation from being performed on their children, or be forced to sit back and watch the state-sanctioned transgender revolution devour them. The starkest example of this comes from the opposite sides of the U.S. coast. West Coast Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law on Thursday that strips out-of-state parents’ rights to decide whether children with sexuality and gender identity issues can be medically treated. California gave itself the power to take “temporary emergency jurisdiction” over a child seeking transgender drugs or surgeries. The author of California bill … [Read more...] about Parents’ Rights Are Human Rights — How America’s Parents Are Reclaiming Their Voice
