If someone comes to our country, becomes a naturalized citizen, and then commits serious crimes like fraud or terrorism, they should be promptly denaturalized and deported.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt is ramping up pressure on Congress to pass his legislation expanding denaturalization and deportation powers, targeting even “legal” migrants who commit fraud or serious crimes.

Schmitt’s call comes amid a chaotic partial government shutdown that’s crippled the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), leaving TSA agents unpaid and airports in disarray as Democrats dig in their heels over demands to weaken ICE enforcement.

Appearing on Fox News on Monday, Schmitt blasted the Democrats for causing the chaos.

“This is just the height of stupidity by the Democrats. It’s essentially a temper tantrum because they don’t like President Trump,” Schmitt explained, highlighting how the shutdown is exacerbating national security risks at a time of heightened terror threats.

The senator’s proposed Protect America Act would broaden the criteria for revoking citizenship and deporting individuals involved in fraud, support for terrorism, or other crimes.

The world must know that the United States is not a global charity and the taxpayer is not a helpless victim to be taken advantage of.

Our immigration system should work for the betterment of our country. How many millions of people are in our country illegally, while doing nothing but exploiting us, like what happened in Minneapolis?

For those who follow the law, this would change nothing. For those who are here to abuse us, it would send them home.

The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released part one of its investigation into a California elections fraud cash for ballots scheme.

James O’Keefe and his team of journalists went undercover on Skid Row in Los Angeles posing as homeless people.

‘Petitioners’ told the undercover journalists that they are paid between $7-$10 per signature. Some of them earn up to $1,000 per day.

“California NGOs Encourage Fake Addresses To Homeless People To Sign Petitions & Register Voters, A State & Federal Felony. Footage Shows 28 Instances Of Cash Changing Hands For Ballot Signatures & Voter Registration Forms,” they said.

“Many of the petitioners had no understanding of the petitions’ purpose they were advertising. Circulators also instructed individuals to use fake addresses. “Oh, you can just fake an address.”” OMG reported.

“Weingart Center, which received hundreds of millions in public funding, is on tape directing people to where the fraudulent petitioners are located, and directing homeless individuals to petitioners & coaching plausible deniability,” OMG said.

O’Keefe Media Group reporters encountered “28 instances of petitioners offering cash, cigarettes, and marijuana for signatures on petitions.”

“See they say ignorance is no excuse for the law. But a lot of times, I have to say ‘I didn’t know, I had no idea,’” a Weingart Center employee told the undercover journalist.

US Attorney Bill Essayli responded to the O’Keefe Media Group’s latest undercover sting exposing a cash for ballots scheme in California.

“Under 52 U.S.C. § 10307(c), it is a federal crime to provide false information on a voter registration form or to offer payment to complete a voter registration form,” Bill Essayli said.

“While longstanding DOJ policy prevents me from discussing specific investigations, I want to assure the public that this DOJ, under the leadership of @AGPamBondi, will aggressively pursue anyone and everyone involved in violating federal election laws,” Essayli said.

Nothing is more important than the integrity of our elections. The conduct and allegations captured on video undermine confidence in our election system here in California.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, LA DA Nathan Hochman, the California Secretary of State’s office and Governor Newsom have all confirmed they are aware of O’Keefe’s undercover sting.

“This alleged activity is a felony in California. Anyone caught engaging in this activity should be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” a Newsom spokesperson said to James O’Keefe.

The U.S. Army has identified the two suspects in the theft of two drones at Fort Campbell in Kentucky.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, in a post on the U.S. Army Fort Campbell Facebook Page last week, a spokesperson revealed that four Skydio X10D Drone Systems were stolen from the 326th Division Engineer Battalion building.

The drones were originally stolen in November of last year, but Fort Campbell released information and surveillance photos to the public on March 11.

Now, officials at Fort Campbell have announced that the suspects behind the drone theft have been identified, but have not released their names.

The officials at Fort Campbell added, “The individuals responsible had authorized access to the military installation and the building, and they defeated the locks on the storage cages to perpetrate this theft. This was a targeted act, not a random breach of security.”

Per WSMV:

Fort Campbell provided an update to the investigation into four stolen drones from a government building in late November 2025.

Fort Campbell reported that the Department of the Army Criminal Investigative Division investigation led to the identification of two suspects, credible evidence, and the possible whereabouts of the missing quadcopter drones.

“This is an active criminal investigation, and we are working diligently to resolve this matter,” Fort Campbell said. “This is an active criminal investigation, and we are working diligently to resolve this matter.”

Fort Campbell is adamant there is no threat to the public and that the stolen drones were equipped only with small cameras.

The drones stolen were high-tech Skydio X10D drones, which are unmanned aerial systems designed with modular payload capability.

The U.S. Army 7th Army Training Command, last July, used the Skydio X10D to drop a live M67 grenade for the first time at the Grafenwoehr Training Area in Germany.

The news of the theft came around the same time ABC News reported that the FBI had released a bulletin that warned California police departments that Iran may try to attack the Golden State with drones.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has since slammed ABC News report on a potential drone attack in California as “reckless” and “false.”
