BREAKING: HOLY SMOKES! Bombshell report accuses Trump and Rubio of "the largest fraud in the history of the U.S. immigration system" amounting to over $1.3 billion stolen from migrants.
And the details will absolutely enrage you...
According to the Cato Institute, a right-wing think tank, Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and outgoing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem extracted at least $1.3 billion from migrants in fees for visa processing and other immigration services that they never intended to provide. They took the money, then took no steps to hold up their end of the agreement.
The administration is taking money from immigrant hopefuls from over 90 countries despite the fact that Trump's own xenophobic travel bans have made it so that those same people are "banned from receiving immigrant visas and immigrating permanently to the United States." Trump is having it both ways: taking the money he would get for allowing immigration while simultaneously blocking that immigration.
"During testimony before the US Senate, I called it the largest fraud in the history of the US immigration system. In fact, it is likely the first $1 billion fraud—a theft of processing fees for services never rendered," wrote David J. Bier for Cato.
But the corruption goes so much deeper...
Rubio's State Department has issued internal rules that prohibit his staff from informing the migrants in question that they have no chance of success and their money is essentially being stolen. It's a systemic graft operation.
“Cubans represent the largest group of affected applicants with nearly a million affected applications at a combined cost of $543 million. The second most common was Venezuelans, with 239,000 applications at a cost of $138 million,” Cato reports.
Cato estimates that over 2 million immigrant applicants were affected by the travel bans and had their money taken when there no intention on the part of the administration of rendering the services in question.
"The fees came primarily from applications for work permits and filings to adjust status to permanent residence or immigrant visas—the two ways in which people receive green cards to stay permanently in the United States," writes Bier.
Congress must immediately investigate this blatant, rampant fraud and begin the long, difficult process of ensuring that every single victim is paid back with interest. These people came looking for a better life in the United States and were instead fleeced for what little money they had. This is a kind of cruelty and greed that could only exist with Donald Trump as president.

BREAKING: ICE Whistleblower Ryan Schwank just blew the whistle on Donald Trump’s ICE and their illegal actions.
“I watched ICE dismantle the training program… classes that teach the Constitution, our legal system, firearms training, the use of force, lawful arrests, proper detention, and the limits of officers authority. ICE is teaching cadets to violate the Constitution and they were attempting to cloak it in secrecy by demanding that I lie about it.”
BREAKING: The man killed trying to enter Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun was a white, Christian Trump supporter.
Not trans. Not a Democrat. Not an immigrant.
He believed in Trump and was crushed by an economy that left him desperate.
That’s the real story.

NEW: Epstein survivors just sent Congress a devastating open letter ahead of Ghislaine Maxwell’s deposition.
They make it clear:
She was not “peripheral.”
She was central.
She protected powerful men.
She hid the truth.
And she still refuses to name names.
This isn’t about her anymore.
It’s about who’s being protected.
And why.
🚨BREAKING: in Minneapolis, ICE/Border Patrol agents illegally smashed the glass window of an APARTMENT BUILDING, without a warrant, to illegally arrest someone who lived inside.
Once again, proving they don’t “protect communities”… they endanger everyone in them.
In the video, you can see agents going up the stairs after breaking the window next to the door to force their way in.
A resident states there were clear signs instructing law enforcement to go to the front entrance with a warrant if they needed access.
They didn’t.
Instead, agents chose to break the window, leaving the building wide open to anyone, and exposing residents to freezing temperatures…
All because they didn’t have a warrant, and because they believe the law doesn’t apply to them.
If this doesn’t infuriate you, then stop pretending you believe in the Constitution.
Because if federal agents can smash their way into this apartment building, without a warrant, today… they can do it to yours tomorrow.

This is Alex Pretti, the man the Trump admin and Trump supporters call a "domestic terrorist."
