New York City is home to nearly 60,000 illegal aliens who either have felony convictions or are facing criminal charges, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement data through November 17.The data, obtained by the New York Post, revealed that of the 759,218 illegal immigrants residing in the sanctuary city, 58,626 have been previously convicted of a crime or face pending charges, which accounts for 7.7% of New York City's illegal alien population.'They need to stop using New Yorkers' hard-earned tax dollars to shield criminals wreaking havoc on our streets.'Additionally, of those 58,626 individuals, 1,153 are reportedly "suspected or known gang members."More than 223,000 immigrants have arrived in New York City since the spring of 2022, and roughly 58,000 continue to rely on taxpayer-funded shelters.ICE data through July 21 further divulged that of the nearly 7.8 million illegal aliens in the United States, 662,586, or 8.6%, are convicted criminals or face pending charges. The agency reportedly did not provide information detailing how many of those individuals are tied to gangs.Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) responded to the report by attributing the situation to President Joe Biden and other Democratic leaders' lenient crime policies and open-border stance, according to the Post.Malliotakis told the news outlet, "It's shocking that Democrats have gone so far out of their way to harbor gang members, drug traffickers and other criminals who are in our country illegally.""In many cases, they've provided them with housing, food, and health care," she continued. "They need to stop using New Yorkers' hard-earned tax dollars to shield criminals wreaking havoc on our streets and instead cooperate with ICE to have them deported."Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.) indicated to the Post that he would cooperate with President-elect Donald Trump's administration to remove criminal illegal immigrants from the city."I support the deportation of criminals and will work with the incoming administration to accomplish that goal. We must also secure the border, fix the broken asylum system and modernize the legal immigration system," Suozzi said.New York City council member Robert Holden, a Democrat, has previously voiced his support for ending the city's current sanctuary policies that shield criminals from ICE agents. In November, he sent a letter to Mayor Eric Adams (D), Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), and other city and state leaders urging them to reconsider their support of the city's sanctuary status. In response to ICE's latest data, Holden told the Post, "These numbers make it clear what everyone but our elected officials already know: Sanctuary city laws are endangering New Yorkers by shielding criminals instead of protecting law-abiding citizens."In an unexpected shift, Hochul last week pledged to be "the first to call ICE" on criminal illegal aliens.A spokesperson for Adams' office told the Post, "Mayor Adams has repeatedly said that while we will continue to respect our city's sanctuary laws, we must also have a serious conversation about the small number of individuals who repeatedly commit violent crimes in our city and the consequences they face.""We must also fix this nation's unsuccessful border policies that have led us to this place," the spokesperson added.Kenneth Genalo, the director of ICE's New York City field office, has warned that deporting the city's criminal illegal aliens would "take a lifetime."He told the Post that such an effort would require "additional resources" for his office, which investigates thousands of cases daily."The fact is that I have to focus all of my resources on the worst of the worst, the most egregious violators. All I can tell you is we have leads that we work every day — and it's not in the hundreds," Genalo explained.Like Blaze News?

Establishmentarians hostile to President-elect Donald Trump have spent weeks characterizing former National Security Council official Kash Patel as a threat to their dysfunctional status quo. Former FBI Special Agent Daniel Brunner told CNN last month that "putting someone like Kash Patel in the position of director of the FBI is, I believe, extremely, extremely dangerous." Andrew McCabe, the former FBI deputy director who undermined the Trump presidency with Crossfire Hurricane, said, "There is a lot of damage someone like Kash Patel could do." Following many such unintentional endorsements, Trump announced Saturday that he will nominate Patel as FBI director Christopher Wray's replacement. Although Patel wasted no time indicating what he intends to achieve at the FBI, elements of the liberal establishment and intelligence community signaled a desire to instead rely on their own slapdash dystopian fiction for insights into what might happen next. 'I think the best-case scenario for everybody is that Kash Patel and this talk of Kash Patel ends.' David Frum, the former George W. Bush speechwriter and Atlantic editor who suggested days after Trump was shot in Pennsylvania that the gunman and his target were "common enemies of law and democracy," tweeted, "We are headed toward a US constitutional crisis vastly bigger than Watergate." MSNBC talking head Joe Scarborough similarly panicked, saying, "This is not only bad for the men and women who run the FBI. This not only bad for the rule of law. This is not only bad for the First Amendment. This is not only bad for the United States of America. This is bad for Donald Trump. This is bad for the Trump administration. This is not going to end well. So I think the best-case scenario for everybody is that Kash Patel and this talk of Kash Patel ends." The Washington Post's Ruth Marcus complained, "This is not normal," and urged Republican senators to "stand up to Trump." Although the GOP won a majority in the U.S. Senate, those nominal Republicans who reportedly refused to support Matt Gaetz's appointment to run the Department of Justice — Sens. Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), and John Curtis (Utah) — could help spike Patel's nomination. McCabe griped to CNN on Sunday, "The installation or the nomination, I guess we should say at this point, of Kash Patel's FBI director can only possibly be a plan to disrupt, to dismantle, to distract the FBI and to possibly use it as a tool for the president's political agenda." "And, you know, as an organization, we know what that looks like. This country has been there before, right?" continued McCabe, James Comey's former right-hand man who shut down investigations into the Clinton Foundation in 2016. McCabe quickly made clear that he was not referencing the Biden FBI's targeting of pro-life activists, traditional Christians, political opponents, and outspoken parents, but rather the FBI's former targeting of communists. "The pre-Watergate FBI, the J. Edgar Hoover FBI struck fear in the hearts of Americans across the spectrum — of politicians, people in entertainment, people in the civil rights community — because the director operated at the direction of presidents to collect political intelligence and to utilize the legal authorities, the investigative authorities of the FBI, to terrorize and intimidate Americans," said McCabe. Former Bush adviser John Bolton, a key proponent of America's disastrous 2003 invasion of Iraq, similarly criticized Trump's decision, reportedly stating, "Trump has nominated Kash Patel to be his Lavrenty Beria. Fortunately, the FBI is not the NKVD. The Senate should reject this nomination 100-0." Vice President-elect JD Vance responded, "John Bolton has been wrong about everything so I guess Kash must be pretty awesome." 'You shut down the Hoover building immediately.' In his announcement on Truth Social Saturday, Trump noted, "Kash is a brilliant lawyer, investigator, and 'America First' fighter who has spent his career exposing corruption, defending Justice, and protecting the American People. He played a pivotal role in uncovering the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, standing as an advocate for truth, accountability, and the Constitution." "Kash did an incredible job during my First Term, where he served as Chief of Staff at the Department of Defense, Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council," continued the president-elect. "Kash has also tried over 60 jury trials. This FBI will end the growing crime epidemic in America, dismantle the migrant criminal gangs, and stop the evil scourge of human and drug trafficking across the Border. Kash will work under our great Attorney General, Pam Bondi, to bring back Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity to the FBI." After first making an X account, Patel shared the following statement: "It is the honor of a lifetime to be nominated by President Trump to serve as Director of the FBI. Together, we will restore integrity, accountability, and equal justice to our justice system and return the FBI to its rightful mission: protecting the American people." While Patel has been highly critical of the FBI, he told Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck in December 2023 that the bureau is "fixable" and explained what reform might look like. "You shut down the Hoover building immediately. I think you literally open it up the next day as a museum of the deep state and you let everybody walk the halls for free, and you leave that behemoth open 365 days a year," said Patel. "You need like 20 people in a skiff to run the FBI. The other 7,000 agents that are sitting in that building should be chasing criminals around America, not distorting statistics about January 6 so Chris Ray can go to Congress and lie and say, 'Domestic violent terrorism is on the rise.'" While various Democrats joined McCabe in throwing tantrums, various Republican lawmakers celebrated Trump's choice. 'He is a man of honor, unquestionable loyalty, and an American Patriot.' House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) wrote, "Kash Patel has extensive experience in national security and intelligence. He is an America First patriot who will bring much-needed change and transparency to the FBI." Tennessee Sen. Bill Hagerty (R) told NBC's "Meet the Press," "There are serious problems at the FBI. The American public knows it. They expect to see sweeping change, and Kash Patel is just the type of person to do it." Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) said, "I look forward to supporting him and pushing this nomination across the finish line." "Kash will get confirmed by the Senate," tweeted Rep.-elect Abe Hamadeh (R-Ariz.). "He is a man of honor, unquestionable loyalty, and an American Patriot. Kash is the son of Indian immigrants who escaped Uganda's genocidal dictator, Idi Amin. He WILL restore and uphold the rule of law, and the FBI will be premier again!" Like Blaze News?

Sometimes, it’s better to leave things to the professionals. That's the reasonable conclusion you might come to watching this new video that showcases a repair shop's attempt to salvage a Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 that has been severely damaged by its previous owner's modding endeavors. While seemingly attempting to apply a voltage mod to the $1,500+ graphics card to boost its performance, the owner rendered the card nearly inoperable, leading to quite the rescue mission from NorthWestRepair. Trying out mods to change the voltage levels on an already high-powered Nvidia graphics card like the RTX 4090 isn’t a smart move if you’re untrained. As our Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 review shows, it’s the best graphics card you can buy right now, but not only does it deal with some serious voltages and current levels - famously leading to some cards setting themselves alight - but its electronics are still incredibly sensitive so the slightest slip up can be catastrophic.
