The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has admitted to holding former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon in violation of the First Step Act (FSA) of 2018. Allegedly, the violation is due to bureaucratic delays by the Biden-Harris regime. It seems more like election interference. “Biden-Harris Are Illegally Holding Me Past My Release Date,” Steve Bannon […] The post Biden-Harris Accused of Keeping Steve Bannon Imprisoned in Violation of the First Step Act appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Early in the afternoon of May 1st of 2023, several passengers on board a New York City subway car thought their lives were about to end. A 30-year-old career criminal named Jordan Neely — who had been arrested more than 40 times, including for punching a 67-year-old woman on the subway and breaking her nose — had just boarded the train. And as soon as the doors closed, he began threatening the passengers. Multiple eyewitnesses said that Neely threw his jacket across the train, adopted a fighting stance, and yelled, “Someone is going to die today.” Neely added that he would happily “kill anyone” and “take a bullet,” saying he was “ready to go to Rikers” and “ready to do life” because he wanted to “hurt people.” One passenger on the train later told a New York grand jury that Neely’s behavior was “sickening” and “satanic.” Another passenger testified that what he experienced was “absolutely traumatizing,” above and beyond anything he had previously experienced in more than six years riding the subway. He recounted the moment when Neely approached him, saying he thought he was, “going to die.” A mother and her son hid behind a stroller as Neely began lunging towards them, coming within a half a foot of some passengers. A student commuting to high school said she prayed that the doors would open so that she could escape. One retiree who rode the subway every day for more than 30 years told the Grand Jury: “I have been riding the subway for many years. I have encountered many things, but nothing that put fear into me like that.” What happened next is documented on video. This is a report from shortly after the incident. Watch: As you heard, the witnesses didn’t think Jordan Neely was in serious danger. He was fighting back the whole time. Instead, the people on the train justifiably thought their lives were at risk. And so they joined in to help 25-year-old Daniel Penny, a former Marine, subdue the threat. Police who responded didn’t arrest Penny. That didn’t happen until more than 10 days later, after politicians like AOC and Julie Salazar charged that Neely’s death was a public lynching. Pretty much the only prominent politician in New York who didn’t go to that extreme was the mayor, Eric Adams. He said Neely’s death made him realize that it’s really important to institutionalize a lot of mentally ill vagrants, which is true. And now they’ve charged Eric Adams with a bunch of crimes, because he kept going off script. Just in case you were wondering how New York works. Meanwhile, Left-wing activists also began terrorizing the subway system, saying they wouldn’t stop until the D.A., Alvin Bragg, brought charges against Penny. Watch: "We gonna stop the next train in 7 minutes" Protesters proceeded to stop F train by blocking the doors and holding them open, then jumping onto the tracks across the platform, stopping a second incoming train.

They prevent a bunch of people from getting to where they want to go. And yet, none of these BLM activists are going on trial this week. The mob always gets what it wants in New York. So instead, this week, jury selection began in the trial of Daniel Penny. Alvin Bragg has charged him with criminally negligent homicide and manslaughter, which could put Penny in prison for up to 15 years. On Monday, BLM was outside the courthouse, and again they were chanting, “No justice, no peace.” When I talked about this case last year, I went into some detail about the media’s attempts to paper over Jordan Neely’s record. They kept calling him a “Michael Jackson impersonator,” as if that’s why the passengers had to subdue him. The implication is that he was moonwalking too much, or doing a really bad rendition of “Man in the Mirror.” I also discussed how this episode is being manufactured to create as much racial tension as possible. If Daniel Penny had been black, then no one would be talking about this case at all. What I didn’t talk about, because we didn’t have all the details at the time, is what the inevitable prosecution of Daniel Penny was going to look like. And now that we have that information, it’s safe to say this is easily the most egregious criminal prosecution in a case of self-defense since the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. In fact, it’s significantly worse than the Rittenhouse trial, in my opinion. We all knew this would be a political show trial. What we didn’t know is how flagrant the show trial would be. WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show I’ll start with the prosecution’s theory of the case. This is from the New York Post: Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has argued that Penny knew during the encounter that he might kill Neely, even if that was not his intention. They’ve cited testimony from a Marine trainer, who told the grand jury that Marines are taught that chokeholds — which are meant to be a non-lethal restraint — can sometimes be fatal. Before we get into the the testimony they’re talking about, let’s be very clear about what’s happening here. The prosecution is effectively conceding that, when Daniel Penny restrained Jordan Neely, he wasn’t trying to kill him. So they’ve downgraded this to an accidental lynching. The prosecution is saying Daniel Penny should spend 15 years in prison because he supposedly disregarded a risk that chokeholds can sometimes be fatal. And to make that argument, they have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Penny and his fellow passengers weren’t experiencing a reasonable fear for their lives during this incident. That’s the needle they plan to thread here. To put this in context, the typical manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide case in New York looks nothing like this. The textbook example would be that someone gets intoxicated, drives well over the speed limit, crosses the double-yellow line and kills someone. That’s the kind of clearly reckless behavior the law normally applies to. But in this case, Alvin Bragg wants to imprison Daniel Penny because, in direct response to a dangerous vagrant making threats of violence, he performed a defensive maneuver that could, potentially, be lethal. Of course, literally any kind of physical altercation could be lethal. A punch or a shove could be lethal. If everyone acknowledges that Penny wasn’t trying to kill Neely, and was just trying to restrain him so that he didn’t hurt any of the passengers, then what exactly are we doing here? What are they saying about this particular chokehold that makes it so reckless, and so inappropriate, that it’s criminal? I went and pulled up some of the testimony from the government’s expert witness on chokeholds. It’s contained in the defense’s motion to dismiss the case, which a judge rejected. The expert’s name is Sergeant Caballer. Again, this is the government’s witness, not the defense witness. And this is what he told the grand jury in this case. The sergeant testified that, in the Marines, the chokehold technique that Penny learned is a non-lethal maneuver intended to subdue an aggressor. The sergeant did say a chokehold can be fatal when it’s applied “to the full extent.” But as the defense’s motion outlines, the expert clarified that Penny didn’t apply the chokehold to the “full extent.” According to the sergeant, if you want to kill someone in a chokehold, then your best bet is to place more pressure on the arteries by pushing the head forward. You’d also want to apply pressure to the carotid arteries using a specific placement of the arm and elbow. But Penny didn’t do either of those things. The sergeant testified that Penny’s arm did not allow him to, “apply a lot of pressure to those carotid arteries.” Instead, Penny placed pressure primarily on the, “upper part of the jaw.” Here’s the key: “All things considered of where his hand placement is and arm placement, it looks as though he’s just holding him.” Additionally, several eyewitnesses testified that they never heard Neely “gasping, gagging, or saying he could not breathe.” In other words, Daniel Penny performed a maneuver that he was trained to perform as a non-lethal way of subduing threats. It took him several minutes longer than he probably thought it would, because Jordan Neely was fighting back and because he had a coat on. But that’s what happened here. By the way, this is the kind of maneuver that’s so common in the military that you can pull up hundreds of videos of chokehold training. Here’s one of them:   So they’re making light of the whole thing. They probably shouldn’t, but that gives you some idea how widely taught the technique is. The expected result is the person who’s subdued will quickly recover.  That obviously didn’t happen in this case. And from the testimony of the medical examiner so far, we don’t know exactly why. The medical examiner indicated that asphyxiation was the cause of death. But from the defense’s motion, we don’t know if that’s actually supported by the evidence. Causation is going to be a big issue in this trial — as in, did Daniel Penny actually cause the death of Jordan Neely. We don’t know if Jordan Neely died because of pressure that was applied to the carotid artery, or to the windpipe, or for some other reason. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 What we do know is that, when someone has to be forcibly restrained by several people for their own protection, there’s a risk something can go wrong. People die suddenly when they get hit with a Taser. Sometimes people die suddenly when they go for a run. Stress is inherently dangerous, and physical altercations only compound the risk of someone dying. It happens all the time. That’s why it’s a bad idea to pick fights with people on the train and threaten to kill them. Even when they’re trying to subdue you using a non-violent technique, things can go wrong. That’s a risk the aggressor assumes — not his victims. What this testimony from the government’s witness underscores, once again, is that this case never should have been brought. No matter what happens — even if Daniel Penny is acquitted — it’s still a grotesque miscarriage of justice. A healthy society would have given Penny an award and thanked him for his service to the community. Instead, the same prosecutors who tried to jail the leading presidential candidate are now trying to imprison a man who defended a subway car full of passengers from a raving lunatic.  And this isn’t just happening in New York. In Chicago, the police board just recommended firing a police officer because he shot someone who drew a gun on him. That’s not an exaggeration. They want to fire a police officer because he defended himself against an armed man, on camera.

For the millions of people living in places like Chicago and New York, it’s happening in real-time. The only choice they’re offered is to submit to the mob, or get crushed by it. This is what Soros-backed prosecutors like Alvin Bragg are doing all over the country. They’re implementing mob rule. That’s been their goal for several years now. And with the trial of Daniel Penny, we’re about to see just how powerful the mob has become.

Rapper Eminem will introduce former President Barack Obama at Tuesday night’s Kamala Harris/Tim Walz rally in Detroit. While there are no plans for the Grammy Award-winning singer to perform at the event, his presence signals yet another attempt by the Democrats to use star power to influence voters in battleground states like Michigan. CNN reported that Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, will speak briefly about the election before Obama takes the stage. Eminem is no fan of Donald Trump. He endorsed the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris ticket in 2020 and allowed his hit single “Lose Yourself” to be used in a campaign ad. In 2017, he bashed Trump during a pre-taped acceptance speech at the BET Hip Hop Awards.  “I will say this, he talks a good one,” he said of Trump at the time.  “And if you’re in his base … let’s say you’re going to the rallies or whatever, you watch him on TV, you hear him talking this s***, there’s part of me that understands, like, alright, he’s somehow still got them because he’s brainwashing them into thinking that something great is going to happen. Nothing’s happening. Nothing is happening. I don’t know, man. I get really flustered when I talk about it.” He went on to create rap lyrics telling fans who supported Trump that he’d drawn “a line in the sand.” “You’re either for or against/and if you can’t decide/who you like more and you’re split/on who you should stand beside/I’ll do it for you with this,” he sang in the song. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 Eminem said during a December 2017 interview with Vulture, “[Trump] makes my blood boil. I can’t even watch the news anymore because it makes me too stressed out.” “All jokes aside, all punch lines aside, I’m trying to get a message out there about him,” the rapper continued. “I want our country to be great too, I want it to be the best it can be, but it’s not going to be that with him in charge.” Before he ran for office, Trump and Eminem were on good terms. The Republican nominee appeared on the Eminem concert special “The Shady National Convention” on MTV ahead of the 2004 election, per The Daily Mail.  As of this week, Trump has had a slight lead in every battleground state, but the races are still extremely tight. In Michigan, the GOP is in the lead with (+0.9).

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton launched an investigation into Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue and found that a large number of suspicious and untraceable donations were processed by the platform. The investigation into ActBlue, which began in 2023, previously resulted in the online fundraising platform for Democratic candidates requiring donors to provide their “CVV” codes on the back of their credit cards in order to make a contribution. Paxton is still warning against ActBlue, however, contending that the site has received donations from those using false identities. Paxton now says that it appears donations are “systematically being made using false identities, through untraceable payment methods” and sent a petition to the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) calling on the entity to adopt new rules to safeguard elections. “Certain platforms appear to facilitate straw donor transactions, where a contributor disguises his identity by attributing his contribution to another, unaware person,” Paxton wrote, also highlighting that “prepaid cards are a favorite tool of fraudsters.” “Notably, however, one of the most prominent online contribution platforms—ActBlue—submitted comments to the Commission encouraging it not to adopt regulations for prepaid cards that would have hampered this potential fraud,” the petition to the FEC from Paxton goes on to say. “If not corrected by the FEC, bad actors can—with trivial ease—illegally funnel foreign money into American elections, exceed political contribution limits, and more,” a press release from Paxton states. Paxton also noted that his investigation reaffirmed public reporting on ActBlue, which found that the names of people on fixed incomes, who say they did not donate on the platform, were recorded as donors. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 “These contributions are being made in such high volume that, even without investigation, it strains credulity to believe they were legitimately made by the person whose name was provided as being the contributor,” Paxton said of these cases in his petition before highlighting the results of his investigation. “Attorney General Paxton has independently corroborated that the public allegations about straw contributions appear true. Namely, many persons’ names have been used to make hundreds of unique contributions totaling many thousands of dollars per year,” the petition reads. “In many instances, contributions are made in these peoples’ names literally multiple times per day, almost every single day of the year.” The redacted petition sent by Paxton to the FEC also requests that new amendments are added to existing policies, namely that political committees be required to “implement procedures ensuring that identities provided by donors match the information that the issuer of the donor’s payment card has on file.” It also urges the FEC to create an amendment establishing that political committees are out of compliance “with its obligation to maintain adequate records to verify donor identities if the committee accepts certain types of prepaid cards.” “Our investigation into ActBlue has uncovered facts indicating that bad actors can illegally interfere in American elections by disguising political donations,” Paxton noted. “It is imperative that the FEC close off the avenues we have identified by which foreign contributions or contributions in excess of legal limits could be unlawfully funneled to political campaigns, bypassing campaign finance regulations and compromising our electoral system.”

Stacey Abrams this week accused black men who are not supporting Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign of being racist and sexist. The Georgia Democrat, who has denied the results of the elections that she lost when she twice ran to become the state’s governor and lost both times to Republican Governor Brian Kemp, was asked about remarks from a Georgia pastor who recently said that “misogyny” was “still real” in the black community and was the reason that Abrams lost. “I know it’s a shock to everyone, but sexism remains real and a very pertinent issue,” Abrams claimed. Abrams claimed that Harris was doing “very well with black men” even though polling has found that Harris is not doing as well with black voters as past Democrat presidential candidates, and former President Donald Trump has the highest support from that community of any Republican presidential candidate since 1960. “However, we do have to acknowledge that there is sexism. There is racism,” she later added. “There are challenges in our electorate and that’s why it’s so important that Kamala Harris is going everywhere and talking to everyone. She respects voters. She meets them where they are and she refuses to be told that she has lost a cohort, lost a community simply because she’s different.” WATCH: Stacey Abrams (D) claims that a lot of black men are not supporting Kamala Harris because they are sexist and racist. pic.twitter.com/svqAX26yPb — Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) October 22, 2024 The Harris campaign has put former President Barack Obama on the campaign trail where he has accused black men of being sexist if they don’t vote for Harris. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 “My understanding, based on reports I’m getting from campaigns and communities, is that we have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running,” Obama said. He said that the lack of enthusiasm for Harris “seems to be more pronounced with the brothers.” Obama then disparaged voters who might vote for Trump or sit out the election. “You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses, I’ve got a problem with that,” Obama said. “Because part of it makes me think – and I’m speaking to men directly – part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.” Obama added that the “women in our lives have been getting our backs this entire time.” “When we get in trouble and the system isn’t working for us, they’re the ones out there marching and protesting,” he added.

Voters in North Dakota will have the chance to get rid of the state’s property taxes in November and become the first state in the nation to repeal the tax, potentially paving the way for others to follow suit. The ballot measure, called Measure 4, would not only repeal the state’s property tax, but also bar cities and localities from instituting property taxes of their own. Rick Becker, the chair of an organization called End Unfair Property Tax, which got the measure placed on the North Dakota ballot, says that success in the Peace Garden state could encourage other states across the country to ditch their own property taxes. “Once that happens, the light turns on for so many people. As soon as a state steps outside that box, the other states see how possible that is,” Becker contended. “The sky didn’t fall, and maybe we should give it a try.” Although no states have repealed their property taxes, Texas, Nebraska, and Michigan have explored the idea, with measures in the latter two states being proposed, but failing to make the ballot. While Becker calls property taxes “most egregious and least moral of all the taxes,” others are working to oppose the measure to repeal them in the state, calling the ballot initiative a “sledgehammer approach.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 “I think we’re going to defeat Measure 4,” said Chad Oban, the chair of an organization called Keep It Local that opposes the ballot measure. “But I do think if it passes, there will be a lot of other states doing something similarly, or feeling like there’s a political appetite.” Recent polling found that 28 percent of North Dakota voters plan to vote in favor of the measure while 40 percent are opposed to the measure, with another third of voters saying that they are undecided. Voters in the state shot down one 2012 attempt to repeal property taxes, however this year’s measure comes amid growing frustration with property taxes, both Becker and Obad acknowledged. Municipalities across the United States garnered about $363 billion in property taxes from single family homes last year, data reveals, marking a nearly seven percent increase from the prior year. North Dakotans had an effective property tax rate of 0.99 percent of their home’s estimated market value, higher than the national average of 0.87 percent.

Democrat Texas Rep. Colin Allred has flip-flopped on trans-identifying males competing in women’s sports following attacks from his opponent, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz. Allred, who is challenging Cruz for the high-profile Republican’s senate seat, has never before said that he does not want men in women’s sports. He’s also repeatedly voted in favor of allowing men in women’s spaces. Just last month, Allred touted his support for the Equality Act, arguing it “would level the playing field in terms of extending the civil rights protections that we have, based on race, and gender, national origin, to sexual identity and how you identify.” He then made light of the sexual and pornographic content pushed on children in schools, joking, “banning books, man? Have they heard of the internet? When they do that, all they do is create a list for those kids to go read.” Democrat Colin Allred claims discussion of transgenderism in locker rooms and biological men in women’s sports by @TedCruz is an attempt to “distract” Texans. Cruz brought the receipts! #TXSen pic.twitter.com/HIYzr3rswf — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) October 16, 2024 But in an ad released last week, Allred argued that he does not support males in female sports. “I don’t want boys playing girls’ sports or any of this ridiculous stuff that Ted Cruz is saying. Ted Cruz is lying about my record because he can’t defend his own,” argued Allred in an ad titled “Lying Again.” Allred did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire. His remarks prompted a rebuke from the far-left Human Rights Campaign, which told the LGBTQ outlet, the Advocate, “Congressman Allred needs to explain his comments in this ad. They simply don’t square with what we know about his record. For years, he has supported our community and worked to protect LGBTQ+ people from discrimination. Texans deserve to finally have a leader who values equality and freedom.” In 2023, Allred voted against the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which would have blocked male athletes from participating in scholastic athletic events designed for females. He also voted against an amendment to that same bill which would have required a study on the effect that men participating in women’s sports has on women. Allred similarly co-sponsored and voted for the radical Equality Act in June 2023 (and in 2021, and in 2019), legislation that would amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act to prevent “discrimination on the basis of sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation.” That means men who identify as women could not be denied access to the locker room, prison, shelter, or sports team of their choice. The Texas Democrat cosponsored a March 2023 resolution to recognize “that it is the duty of the Federal Government to develop and implement a Transgender Bill of Rights” — a resolution that would call for federal law to be amended to allow men to “participate in sports on teams and in programs that best align with their gender identity” and to “use school facilities that best align with their gender identity.” And his past rhetoric similarly denounces efforts to protect female spaces as “dark” and “shameful.” Texas should be a place where our young people can be who they are, free from discrimination. This is yet another dark, shameful moment for our state as the GOP in Texas is more focused on attacking trans students than fixing the real problems we face. https://t.co/IlPhyp5OK2 — Colin Allred (@ColinAllredTX) October 17, 2021 Allred is not the only Democrat to recently flip-flop on men in women’s sports: The Daily Wire reported Tuesday that Alaska Democrat Mary Peltola, who formerly voted against legislation defending the integrity of women’s sports and spaces, reversed her position on the topic following a September report on her transgender stances from The Daily Wire. Peltola’s record is remarkably similar to Allred’s: both joined their Democratic colleagues in co-sponsoring the Equality Act and voted against the “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023.”

Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin is on the defensive over her direction of $400,000 federal dollars to a youth services organization that gave chest binders to young girls who identify as boys. A new ad from Baldwin’s campaign claims that the senator, who is locked in a tight race with Republican challenger Eric Hovde, “didn’t give funding to a transgender clinic,” but rather secured funding for “a youth homeless shelter.” The ad also claims that children do not undergo sex change surgeries in Wisconsin. The defensive ad is a clear sign that Baldwin is nervous Hovde could topple her using her support of transgender ideology. It’s also inaccurate. The “youth homeless shelter” in question is Briarpatch Youth Services, for which Baldwin earmarked $400,000. At the time she secured the funding, Briarpatch ran the “Teens Like Us LGBTQIA2s+” program, which included a “gender affirming clothing program.” The program gave away free chest binders, which are devices given to young girls who identify as boys who want to flatten their breasts to look more like a male. The group also gave away “gaffs,” underwear used by males who identify as female. Briarpatch also accepted donations for “gently used binders” to give away, and directed visitors to Origami Customs, a group that makes custom clothing for transgender-identifying individuals.  “Our favorite online shop for binders, gaffs, swimwear, and more is Origami Customs,” Briarpatch said. “They can also make custom sizes at no extra charge! They also have great resources to teach you how to measure yourself for the best fitting garment, and how to practice safe binding and tucking.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 While the references to chest binders have since been scrubbed from its website, Briarpatch’s LGBT support group still offers “Pride Flags of ALL kinds,” and “pronoun pins.” Baldwin has claimed that the funding would not go toward the sexuality-focused program and only “mental health services.”  According to Do No Harm, there have been at least 195 minor transgender surgery patients in Wisconsin since 2019. The data shows that the number of kids in Wisconsin having transgender surgeries has only increased in the last few years. That doesn’t include the 97 children who have been given prescriptions for life-altering puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.  Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers (D) vetoed Republican-backed legislation that would have banned the life-altering procedures from being done on children.  Republicans and conservatives including Hovde, former President Donald Trump, and groups like CatholicVote, have targeted Democrats across the country for their support of transgender ideology. A campaign from CatholicVote in Wisconsin revealed that 86 girls who identify as boys in the state have had their breasts removed.

A far-left illegal immigrant advocacy organization has raked in over a million dollars from the Biden-Harris Department of Homeland Security while attempting to halt the deportation of illegal aliens and trying to “dismantle the U.S. immigration enforcement system.” The Los Angeles-based Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) advocates for illegal immigration, supports mass amnesty proposals, provides legal assistance to prevent deportations, and uses illegal immigrants in voter mobilization and turnout operations, all while raking in federal grants from the very same agency tasked with maintaining border security. “CHIRLA works to dismantle the U.S. immigration enforcement system that profits from tearing apart immigrant families,” the organization explains, specifically naming DHS, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as its targets. But while the far-left organization has maligned DHS and its immigration enforcement mechanisms as an instrument of oppression, CHIRLA is set to receive $1.2 million in taxpayer funded grants from the federal law enforcement agency. CHIRLA’s federal grants could frustrate Vice President Kamala Harris’s efforts to rebrand herself as a “border state prosecutor” ahead of the presidential election. Over 10 million people have crossed the border under the Biden-Harris administration, with an estimated 1.7 million illegal immigrant gotaways recorded since the pair took office. In the final days of the race, the Harris campaign has even run an advertisement that claims Democrats are the party of  border security, featuring an image of former president Donald Trump’s border wall Todd Bensman, a Senior National Security Fellow with the Center for Immigration Studies, told The Daily Wire that CHIRLA could easily find common cause with the Biden-Harris administration, which is staffed with radical ideologues who likely agree with the group’s far-left positions. “It’s perfectly in line with what they’ve been doing for three and a half years,” Bensman said of the funding, adding that the administration is “peopled with appointees who all share those ideologies, the same ideology, which is that border enforcement and immigration laws are immoral.” According to its IRS 990 form, CHIRLA teaches illegal immigrants “how to protect themselves against Immigration Customs Enforcement,” which deports criminal illegal aliens, including those who’ve been charged with violent crimes. A 2023 grant from the DHS U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in the amount of $450,000 went to the group for “citizenship instruction and naturalization services.” CHIRLA explains that it focuses on both naturalization and Deferred Action Childhood Arrival applications, the latter of which allows illegal immigrants to avoid deportations. Another grant, this one for $250,000 and awarded in 2022, went to further “innovations in citizenship education.” A 2021 grant of $250,000 to CHIRLA from DHS went towards instruction and naturalization for non-citizens. The DHS grants date back to 2014, when CHIRLA first received $250,000 as it worked to naturalize non-citizens. CHIRLA told The Daily Wire that the funds come “from the USCIS side of DHS, not the enforcement side,” referencing the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. Even CHIRLA’s naturalization efforts appear to be ideologically motivated, however. The organization is part of a coalition of nonprofits, previously uncovered by The Daily Wire, that works to naturalize citizens and mobilize them as voters to “sway the outcome of national, state, and local elections” while maintaining demographic reports on key swing states. CHIRLA Executive Director Angelica Salas, who first came to the United States illegally and was deported before being allowed to return as a legal citizen, was previously a board member of the National Partnership for New Americans, a George Soros-funded organization that attempts to mobilize new citizens as voters. The organization is open about its radical stances on immigration, boasting that it uses illegal immigrants to attempt to mobilize voters for leftwing causes. One of CHIRLA’s projects “targets new citizens, Latinos, and English learners to build a voter base from scratch, with enough power to sway state politics.” “Teams of paid/volunteer canvassers/phone bankers, ranging in status from undocumented to legal permanent residents, work to build a constant culture of voting among these voters,” CHIRLA explains. The radical organization advocates for amnesty for all illegal immigrants present in the United States and has called for “immediate immigration reform that includes a pathway to citizenship for all undocumented people.” CHIRLA also raises money to give scholarships to immigrant students, specifically saying they seek out those who are in the country illegally. There’s also the CHIRLA Action Fund, an associated organization that is allowed to support political candidates for office and favors Democrats. Salas also serves as the board president for the CHIRLA Action Fund. The CHIRLA Action Fund endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) for Senate, as well as the Soros-backed Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon.

Literally his face lights up from within. you Mr Winkler!” Henry told Fox News Digital in 2023 that the secret to his happy marriage is simple, “What’s the secret? First, it’s picking the right person,” he explained. “In 45 years, there are ups, there are downs. You need the right person who can face those ups and downs with you. There is also the will to be together – I believe in that very strongly. I’ve rethought this, and it always comes back to that. The center of the relationship is the ear — not the heart, not the head.” Henry and Stacy, we think you two are amazing. May there be many more happy days in your future.
