Texas Republicans are escalating their efforts to take on illegal immigration, and Rep. Brandon Gill is leading the charge. While BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales is thrilled with his efforts, she’s well aware that her state is not even close to being out of the woods.

“Texas is kind of under siege right now,” Gonzales says to Gill.

“It is, and at this point, I believe we have 42 members of Congress in the Sharia-Free America Caucus. So it’s growing rapidly. We’re adding new members every single day,” Gill explains.

“This is a big issue. It’s not going away any time soon. And it’s our job as elected representatives to address it — and address it in a candid and straightforward way, which is to say that there are cultural incompatibilities here that we need to be aware of,” he tells Gonzales.

“I think our immigration system needs to reflect these, and I think we need to be determining who comes into our country. And we need to protect our culture,” he continues, pointing out that immigration is also one of the issues that touches everything else.

“It touches the quality of schools, the quality of health care, the cost of living, the cost of housing. I mean everything,” he adds.

Gill was also recently behind the Somalia Immigration Moratorium Act, which imposes a 25-year moratorium on immigration from Somalia into the United States.

And while much of the left is outraged by Gill’s moratorium, one member of Congress may have a little more disdain for him than the rest.

“Does Ilhan Omar give you the stink eye whenever she sees you?” Gonzales asks.

“Usually it’s much worse than that. I was giving a speech on the House floor about this bill in particular. And she was in the audience, and she was screaming. I could barely hear what she was saying, but she was … calling me names and all kinds of stuff,” he tells Gonzales.

“So she’s not a big fan of me, I will say,” he adds.

President Donald Trump announced in May that he was nominating Dr. Casey Means to become surgeon general.

Trump said that Means, a tech entrepreneur and Stanford-educated doctor who has long criticized the exploitative nature of the health care system, has “impeccable ‘MAHA’ credentials” and would help Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “reverse the Chronic Disease Epidemic, and ensure Great Health, in the future, for ALL Americans.”

It became painfully clear over the course of Means’ nomination hearing on Wednesday that some lawmakers are anxious about her MAHA views on vaccines and other profitable pharmaceuticals.

‘Devil’s in the details.’

Chairman Bill Cassidy (R-La.) — whom Open Secrets indicated has raised over $1.3 million from the health professional industry and $712,000 from the pharmaceutical/health product industry in campaign contributions since 2019 — noted that “some [parents] have been scared to vaccinate their children because they’ve been told incorrectly that vaccines cause autism.”

Cassidy asked Means whether she believes “vaccines, whether individually or collectively, contribute to autism.”

Means, who told lawmakers that she thinks vaccines “save lives,” responded, “The reality is that we have an autism crisis that’s increasing, and this is devastating to many families, and we do not know as a medical community what causes autism.”

Means noted that the Trump administration is investigating the matter and suggested that “until we have a clear understanding of why kids are developing this at higher rates, I think we should not leave any stones unturned.”

Cassidy rushed to suggest “there’s been a lot of evidence showing they’re not implicated.”

While Means accepted such alleged evidence exists, she emphasized that “science is never settled.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) — who ranks in Open Secrets’ “Top 20 Member Recipients of Money from Pharmaceuticals / Health Products, 1990-2024” — similarly pressed the issue, trying unsuccessfully to get Means to refute Kennedy’s July 2023 assertion “that autism comes from vaccines.”

In her questioning, Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.) focused on one vaccine in particular: the hepatitis B shot, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under previous administrations recommended for all American children but as of this year recommends only on an individual basis.

Means has suggested in years past that “hepatitis B vaccine at birth is a crime.”

When Blunt Rochester generalized her concern and asked whether Means thought it was “unethical and dangerous” to hypothetically withhold life-saving vaccines from children, Means noted, “I don’t believe that Dr. Jay Bhattacharya or the HHS would be interested in withholding” them and stressed that the “devil’s in the details.”

Democratic Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), who has received over $600,000 from the health professional industry since 2019, grilled Means over her past criticism of hormonal birth control and its overuse — which has been linked to increased risk of breast and cervical cancers and other medical issues.

After Murray concern-mongered over Means’ suggestions that hormonal birth control is consumed “like candy” and poses “horrifying health risks” to women, Means said, “I’m curious if you’re aware of what the side effects of hormonal contraception are.”

Means suggested further that while such medication should be “accessible to all women,” women should be having thorough conversations with their doctors to ascertain “whether they are higher risk for side effects when prescribed the medication.”

Kennedy noted at the time of Means’ nomination that she “will help me ensure American children will be less medicated and better fed — and significantly healthier — during the next four years. She will be the best Surgeon General in American history.”

A suspect who reportedly identifies as nonbinary opened fire on a Border Patrol agent during a traffic stop in New Hampshire on Saturday. This latest incident occurred roughly one year after members of a radical trans cult allegedly shot and killed an agent in Vermont.

A criminal complaint reviewed by Blaze News revealed charges filed Tuesday against Blu Zeke Daly, also known as Cullan Zeke Daly, stemming from an incident that occurred on Feb. 21.

‘This individual did have a previous Massachusetts driver’s license that was denominated to be male and now has a New Hampshire driver’s license, which is denominated to be female.’

An on-duty Border Patrol agent patrolling the border between the U.S. and Canada in Stewartstown, New Hampshire, encountered a 2012 Honda Civic at roughly 11:30 p.m., according to the affidavit of an FBI special agent.

Daly, the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle, provided the agent with a New Hampshire driver’s license, according to the court document. After the officer asked whether Daly used any other names, Daly allegedly “immediately drove away,” prompting the officer to follow at a distance.

The affidavit explained that Daly drove to the Pittsburg Port of Entry and stopped at a closed gate. When the officer exited his vehicle, Daly attempted to drive away.

While trying to turn the vehicle around, Daly allegedly fired a handgun at the officer.

The Border Patrol agent returned fire, shooting Daly and causing the suspect to lose control of the vehicle and hit a snowbank.

A Smith & Wesson SD9 2.0 handgun and ammunition were reportedly recovered from Daly’s vehicle.

The affidavit argued that there is probable cause to believe Daly committed the offenses of attempted murder of a federal officer and assaulting a federal officer with a dangerous weapon.

WMUR reported that investigators have been unable to speak with Daly after the suspect was severely injured in the shooting.

The Department of Justice stated that Daly is currently receiving medical treatment at a New Hampshire hospital and is under guard.

U.S. Attorney Erin Creegan told WMUR that investigators have spoken with “people associated with the defendant.”

Creegan called it “a miracle” that the Border Patrol agent was not injured.

“We’re still investigating everything about this individual, including potential motivation and what could have prompted them to be in the border area at that time of night, and what would have caused them to fire at a Border Patrol agent executing routine duties,” Creegan stated.

WMUR obtained court paperwork indicating that Daly was granted a name change in 2024, claiming to identify as nonbinary.

“This individual did have a previous Massachusetts driver’s license that was denominated to be male and now has a New Hampshire driver’s license, which is denominated to be female. So it’s a reasonable assumption that the person has decided to transition their gender,” Creegan added.

In January 2025, a Vermont Border Patrol agent was shot and killed while performing a traffic stop on Interstate 91. The suspects included two individuals tied to a group known as the Zizians, whose members mostly identify as transgender or nonbinary.

There are currently no confirmed connections between Daly and the Zizians.

“When you have something happen which targets a Border Patrol agent in that area, it would be a reasonable line of investigative inquiry to determine whether there is any connection to a broader network or group, because that does appear to exist — the allegations that did exist in the murder investigation involving the Border Patrol agent,” Creegan told WMUR.

President Donald Trump campaigned on a promise of revitalizing American jobs, and Michigan Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer acknowledged his role in recent economic developments during her 2026 State of the State address.

Whitmer publicly thanked Trump while speaking in the Michigan House of Representatives chamber at the state Capitol in Lansing on Wednesday.

Trump praised Whitmer, saying she had done an ‘excellent job’ and calling her ‘a great person.’

“Michigan is open for business. New factories making batteries, cars, chips are opening in Marshall, Lake Orion, Holland, Bay City, Calumet, Hemlock, Ann Arbor, and Delta Township. A new fighter mission is coming to Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Macomb County,” Whitmer said.

She added, “Probably not on the bingo card, but I want to thank President Trump for his work on this.”

Her remarks were met with applause from the chamber.

The public show of appreciation follows multiple reported meetings between Whitmer and Trump at the White House, where the two have discussed manufacturing investment, tariffs, and the Selfridge Air National Guard Base mission. During one Oval Office appearance, Trump praised Whitmer, saying she had done an “excellent job” and calling her “a great person.”

One earlier White House visit drew national attention after Whitmer was photographed shielding her face from cameras. Her latest remarks in Lansing, however, marked a visible shift, as she openly credited the president during a high-profile statewide address.

The recent industrial expansion across Michigan, along with the Selfridge announcement, shows strong collaboration between the Democrat governor and the Republican president on key economic priorities.

Outrage has erupted as people have learned that a child sex offender has launched a bid to land a seat on a city council in California.

Rene Campos, who recently launched a bid to represent District 7 in Fresno, California, is facing some pushback over a highly concerning conviction not too long ago.

‘I was raised in Fresno by a mother who taught me to protect the vulnerable, tell the truth even when it costs you, and never tolerate abuse of power.’

Campos was arrested in 2018 and later pled no contest to a misdemeanor charge of possession of child sex abuse material, according to court records. In October, he pled no contest to failure to register, records indicate.

However, the New York Post reported that he is perfectly eligible to run for office under California law.

This fact has sparked outrage at the prospect of a convicted child sex offender holding a seat of power. Others pointed out other obvious absurdities in the potential arrangement.

Nav Gurm, a small business owner and attorney who is opposing Campos for the District 7 seat, noted: “If someone is a registered sex offender, they can’t be on campus at a school site; how are you going to be able to fulfill the duties of the job?”

Campos told ABC 30: “I believe Fresno deserves leaders who are honest from the very beginning, not the end. Going into this, I am putting my life out there.”

Campos gave some information on his campaign website about his upbringing and the “values” he brings to the table, including “protecting the vulnerable”: “I was raised in Fresno by a mother who taught me to protect the vulnerable, tell the truth even when it costs you, and never tolerate abuse of power. Those values didn’t come from politics — they came from life.”

While Campos claimed in the interview that he will not be running from his past, a review of his campaign website yielded no direct mention of his criminal past. Instead, there is one brief mention of a “legal situation that has been fully resolved” in the frequently asked questions section of the site.

Campos seemingly first announced his candidacy in late January, according to his Facebook page.

The primary election is scheduled for June 2.

Campos’ campaign did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s attempts on Tuesday to sabotage President Donald Trump’s State of the Union did not go particularly well.

Not only did public support for the president’s agenda reportedly spike while the Minnesota Democrat was screaming during his speech, but Omar’s anti-ICE guest was hauled away by U.S. Capitol Police.

‘All State of the Union tickets clearly explain that demonstrating is prohibited.’

The Somali-born ethno-nationalist announced on Monday that among the radicals she was bringing as guests to the SOTU was Aliya Rahman, an autistic non-straight activist who, though born in America, grew up in Bangladesh and has championed leftist causes since returning to the United States.

Omar made no secret that she chose to bring Rahman because of the woman’s hostility toward U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, noting that “Rahman is now calling for ICE to face legal accountability for their aggression against civilians.”

Trouble with the law

Rahman, 43, was arrested in Minneapolis on Jan. 13 after allegedly impeding federal law enforcement agents by blocking traffic with her vehicle.

While later claiming that she was on her way to a doctor’s appointment and was seeking to avoid a chaotic scene, footage appears to show that Rahman wasn’t in a rush to go anywhere. Despite ample room to drive forward and away from the scene, she appears to be idling in the intersection, blocking traffic, and yelling at federal agents.

Footage also shows Rahman failing to comply with repeated orders before being pulled out of the vehicle and carted away.

The Department of Homeland Security noted that the radical “clearly had enough room to move herself and her vehicle out of the way. Officers even walked away from her vehicle, thinking she was going to leave the scene.”

“Instead, she remained at the location, continued to impede our officers, and found out the hard way,” continued the DHS. “18 U.S.C. § 111 criminalizes impeding or interfering with federal officers.”

Rahman — who has likened herself to George Floyd as well as to Silverio Villegas Gonzalez, an illegal alien who was fatally shot on Sept. 12 after reportedly driving his vehicle into an ICE officer — quickly became a symbol of supposed ICE brutality for Democratic lawmakers, including Sens. Amy Klobuchar (Minn.) and Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) and Reps. Robert Garcia (Calif.) and Yassamin Ansari (Ariz.).

Another arrest

Omar complained on Wednesday that Rahman had yet another arrest, this time after a run-in with the Capitol Police on Tuesday.

“My guest, Aliya Rahman, stood up silently in the gallery during the president’s speech for a short period of time, part of which other guests were also standing,” alleged Omar. “For that, she was forcibly removed, despite warning officers about her injured shoulders and ultimately charged with ‘Unlawful Conduct.'”

Rahman reportedly stood up in protest during the part of President Donald Trump’s speech where he called on Democrats to restore DHS funding and allegedly refused to sit when asked by police.

“The heavy-handed response to a peaceful guest sends a chilling message about the state of our democracy,” added the Minnesota Democrat.

Rahman told Democracy Now! on Wednesday, “The only reason I can think that they thought me standing silently there was a protest is because this point, my body, unafraid, even if broken, standing and looking at these people in their face, well that must be a protest to you.”

The radical claimed that the sergeant at arms told her she was being detained for “standing up silently. No buttons, no facial expressions, no gestures, no signs. Not one sound. Standing up.”

Capitol Police painted a different picture of the scene, noting in a statement obtained by CNN, “All State of the Union tickets clearly explain that demonstrating is prohibited.”

“At approximately 10:07 p.m., a person in the House Gallery started demonstrating during tonight’s State of the Union Address,” continued the statement. “The guest was told to sit down, but refused to obey our lawful orders.”

The Capitol Police added that “it is illegal to disrupt the Congress and demonstrate in the Congressional Buildings, so 43-year-old Aliya M. Rahman of Minneapolis, MN, was arrested for D.C. Code §10-503.16 – Unlawful Conduct, Disruption of Congress.”

President Donald Trump delivered the State of the Union address Tuesday night, touting his administration’s achievements and laying the groundwork for the remaining three years of his term.

While Democrats attempted to distract from Trump’s patriotic speech, Republicans embraced policies to improve the lives of everyday Americans, some of whom were in attendance at the State of the Union.

‘I want to thank President Trump.’

Tuesday night, members of the Republican Study Committee, the largest conservative committee on Capitol Hill, hosted guests from North Dakota, Arizona, New York, Alabama, and elsewhere. While all of these guests come from different walks of life, the common thread is their appreciation for the president and his America First policies.

In a series of testimonials obtained exclusively by Blaze News, the RSC shows how real Americans feel about Trump’s progress in America.

Fifth-generation rancher Ben Menges, who was the guest of Arizona Rep. Juan Ciscomani, laid out the roadblocks he previously encountered on the farm, but noted he was “looking forward to hearing” Trump’s plan to address these regulatory burdens.

“We farm and ranch in Arizona because it’s the desert, not in spite of the desert. And we’re faced with a variety of issues; most of them stem around not having enough water,” Menges said. “I’ve also discussed the issues of federal regulation and how it’s impacted my grazing operation.”

Retired Command Sergeant Major John Herring, who was the guest of Texas Rep. Monica De La Cruz, praised the tax cuts greenlit in Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act as well as the administration’s clampdown on the southern border.

“My wife is a small-business owner,” Herring said. “We’re ranchers in South Texas, retired from the military. President Trump has done a fantastic job of helping us and improving our ways of life. The border security is tremendously better. The tax cuts have been tremendous for us.”

Another small-business owner, Kristin Chorne, who was the guest of North Dakota Rep. Julie Fedorchak, noted the positive impact Trump’s tax reforms have had on her company and her employees.

“I’m representing my business, Gratitude Spa and Salon. We are an all-female-employee business: cosmetologists, aestheticians, massage therapists, nail technicians,” Chorne said. “And so, we’re super excited about the One Big Beautiful Bill and the no tax on tips portion especially, as well as the no tax on overtime — huge benefits for our employees.”

“I’ve already had several employees come and talk with me, and they’re getting anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000 in refunds for 2025, so a big change for them from years past, where they’ve had to pay in.”

Law enforcement was also represented at the State of the Union, including Alabama Rep. Barry Moore’s guest, Coffee County Sheriff Scott Byrd, and New York Rep. Claudia Tenney’s guest, Wayne County Sheriff Robert Milby. Both Milby and Byrd applauded Trump’s crackdown on crime both in the homeland and on the border.

“I’ve been in the law enforcement business for 23 years, and these border closing is definitely helping our community,” Byrd said. “They’re slowing the drug trafficking down, which I’ve obviously seen in my county, in my community.”

“I want to thank President Trump for his efforts in supporting law enforcement and making sure that people are held accountable and responsible for their actions, something that we haven’t seen in a few years,” Milby said. “What we have seen, though, is that people feel less safe, and that’s what matters.”

“You can do anything you want with statistics, but when people tell me that they don’t feel safe because of what is happening with our criminal justice system, it’s refreshing to know that we have the support and that we’re going to hold people accountable and responsible rather than hold court in the street,” he continued.

Between raucous cheers for America’s gold-medal hero, New Jersey’s new governor felt the brunt of sports fans’ disdain.

Fans at the Prudential Center in Newark were treated to a fantastic pregame ceremony on Wednesday that celebrated Jack Hughes, who scored the gold medal-winning goal for Team USA against Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics on Sunday.

‘You guys are making me emotional.’

After a speech from Hughes got the crowd both pumped up and emotional, newly elected New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D) and her husband, Jason Hedberg, were welcomed on the ice for the ceremonial puck drop.

After a parade of kids holding American flags adorably stepped onto the ice, the public address announcer welcomed the governor and the state’s first gentleman before boos rained down upon them.

Some significant booing was also heard when the governor was again announced as she handed Hughes a folded state flag.

Beforehand, Hughes brought the house down with his speech, first celebrating alongside Buffalo Sabres player and fellow Team USA member Tage Thompson. Hughes brought Thompson onto the ice for a short lap before delivering his heartfelt remarks.

“I’m so proud, and I’m so happy that the men’s and women’s USA hockey teams brought gold medals back to the United States of America,” Hughes said to wild cheers.

As the arena’s scoreboard showed a picture of Hughes that read, “The best in the world are made in Jersey,” the star forward was on the verge of tears.

“You guys are making me emotional, but I’m so proud to represent the New Jersey Devils organization. And I’m so, so proud to represent the great state of New Jersey. So proud,” he continued.

“From the bottom of my heart, all our, all my teammates, USA teammates, we just want to thank you guys for all the love and the support. We feel it. Thank you,” the 24-year-old concluded.

Hughes was awarded with a New Jersey state flag, a certificate, and a signing pen in honor of the state’s recognition of his accomplishment.

Gov. Sherrill won the 2025 New Jersey gubernatorial election with 56.88% of the vote, beating out Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli by more than five points.

Moderates and independents both sided with Sherrill, according to exit polls, with health care being a strong driver of votes among liberal supporters.

On Tuesday night, President Trump delivered the 2026 State of the Union address — the best speech of his entire career according to Glenn Beck.

The address was packed with memorable moments, but one, he says, didn’t merely stand out in Trump’s two-hour speech, it stands out in history itself.

“There was no moment in presidential history in my lifetime that was as strong as [Reagan’s “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” line] — until last night,” he says.

And that moment was when President Trump said: “If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”

“That’s the easiest applause line ever presented in American politics. You shouldn’t even think; you just stand up. That’s not even partisan,” says Glenn.

And yet zero Democrats stood up.

“You don’t damage your opponent when you do that. You damage your brand,” exclaims Glenn, adding that he’s unsure if Democrats can “survive the brand damage” they’ve caused themselves.

He brings up two of the people President Trump honored during his speech — the “angel mom” of 16-year-old Lizbeth Medina, who was stabbed numerous times and killed by an illegal alien, and 7-year-old Delilah Coleman, who survived life-altering injuries from a 2024 car crash caused by an illegal alien truck driver with a state-issued CDL.

“Calling for commercial licenses to be denied to illegal immigrants because of [Delilah] and calling it Delilah’s Law — and you can’t stand for that? You can’t clap for removing dangerous rapists and criminals from the country?” Glenn asks in disgust.

“We can disagree on immigration policy all you want. We can debate visa quotas. You can argue about asylum reform. But when you can’t stand for deporting violent criminals, that’s not a strategy. That’s the end of your brand. That’s moral confusion,” he says, admitting that he was “stunned by that.”

“America looked at that and went, ‘Do these people hate our country?’”
