Last week an illegal alien from Mexico was fatally shot after trying to run over an ICE agent in Houston, Texas.

An illegal alien from Colombia was fatally shot in Maine this week after trying to run over ICE agents.

A 28-year-old presumed illegal alien fleeing immigration officers in St. Augustine, Florida, was struck and killed by a semi-truck after he ran into oncoming traffic.

DHS Chief Markwayne Mullin ordered agents to cease non-urgent vehicle stops following the fatal shooting in Maine.

However, President Trump reversed Mullin’s directive and ordered agents to resume the vehicle stops.

The Department of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) have announced an investigation into at 75 entry-level truck driver Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) schools across the country suspected of fraudulently helping non-citizen drivers qualify.

Safety experts estimate that as many as 130,000 illegal-alien truck drivers may be operating in the United States, with tens of thousands believed to have obtained licenses through illegitimate means.

The Gateway Pundit has reported on the deadly consequences of illegal alien truckers.

Fox News’ Bill Melugin reports, “NEW: DHS and DOT have announced they’ve identified 75 entry level truck driver CDL schools across the US that are suspected of fraudulently helping non-citizen drivers qualify for CDLs, and the agencies are partnering to investigate them, with HSI and DOT already visiting some of the schools to probe them.”

“Some of the schools are suspected of falsifying training records, providing improper certifications, and failing to properly train the drivers.”

Statements via DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin noted, “Too many American lives have been lost in completely avoidable accidents because illegal aliens have been granted commercial driver’s licenses to drive trucks and 18-wheelers on America’s roadways.”

“DHS law enforcement is partnering with the Department of Transportation to eliminate CDL fraud, strengthen the integrity of the CDL system, and investigate commercial driver’s license schools throughout the country. This is a whole of government approach, to keep America’s roads safe.”

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. added, “USDOT has spent the last year rooting out bad actors from our trucking industry.”

“We’ve knocked over 24,000 drivers off our roads for failing to speak English, forced states to cancel over 28,000 licenses illegally issued to foreign drivers, and purged over 9,500 unqualified training schools from our FMCSA registry. DHS will be a force multiplier of our efforts to clean up America’s roads. President Trump is using every lever at his disposal to ensure the safety of American families.”

Secretary Duffy followed up on his statement, sharing on X, “FRAUDSTERS CAN RUN, BUT THEY CAN’T DRIVE.”

The post Trump Administration Announces Investigation of 75 Truck Driver Schools Suspected of Helping Non-Citizens Obtain CDLs appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins attempted to corner the Trump White House during Thursday’s press briefing, questioning why no criminal charges have been filed if the evidence President Donald Trump is expected to discuss in his speech is as significant as the administration has suggested.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt fired a clear warning shot, telling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that the evidence has not even been fully declassified yet and that Americans will see it for themselves tonight.

WATCH:

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins: “Regarding the president’s speech tonight, he’s been in office over 540 days now. If what he says tonight is backed up by evidence, why hasn’t anyone been charged?”

Press Sec. Karoline Leavitt: “He hasn’t revealed it yet. He hasn’t declassified the documents yet and you will see what he says tonight and then we’ll move forward appropriately from there.”

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, President Trump is expected to drop major revelations tonight about Chinese Communist Party meddling in U.S. elections, including evidence that Beijing compromised American voter data and that the CIA knew about it during Trump’s first term and deliberately withheld the information from him.

The president will be joined by CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Acting DNI Bill Pulte, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, and FBI Director Kash Patel. A White House task force is also preparing to release newly declassified intelligence documents related to the 2020 election.

President Trump has repeatedly said free and fair elections are the foundation of the country. Tonight, he is expected to show the nation exactly what foreign adversaries, and those inside the government who enabled or ignored them, were willing to do to undermine that foundation.

A longtime White House technical assistant who has operated President Trump’s teleprompter since his historic 2016 campaign has been suspended after allegedly running a lucrative insider betting scheme.

Federal regulators are reportedly in settlement talks with Gabriel “Gabe” Perez over shocking allegations that he pocketed more than $100,000 on the prediction market Kalshi.

According to ABC News, Perez used his high-level security clearance and direct access to the presidential speech drafts to wager on Kalshi’s highly popular “Mentions” market.

These prediction markets allow users to bet on whether specific words or phrases like “rigged election,” “fake news,” or geopolitical terms will be spoken aloud by the President during a public address.

Because Perez loaded the speeches onto the teleprompter himself, he allegedly knew exactly what President Trump was going to say before the rest of the world.

According to ABC News, citing sources familiar with the matter, investigators uncovered instances in which Perez allegedly backed out of bets mid-speech after President Trump skipped a section that contained a word Perez had wagered would be mentioned.

More from ABC News:

Gabriel Perez, a technical assistant to the president who has been operating Trump’s teleprompter since 2016, is in talks with federal regulators to settle allegations he used his inside knowledge of the president’s speeches to win more than $100,000, the sources said.

According to the sources, Kalshi alerted its regulator, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), to the suspicious activity on its “Mentions” market, where users can bet on whether specific words, phrases or topics are uttered during a public speech.

“Our surveillance team promptly flagged and referred these trades to the CFTC, and we are cooperating and assisting regulators,” Kalshi’s lead lawyer, Bobby DeNault, said in a statement provided to ABC News.

[…]

According to sources familiar with the investigation, Perez sat for an interview with regulators in recent months and acknowledged some of the trades. At some point during the investigation, the sources said the CFTC alerted federal prosecutors in Manhattan, who declined to open a criminal investigation.

Regulators at the CFTC have expressed a willingness to settle with Perez, and have discussed terms with him that would require Perez to give back his profits and refrain from making similar trades, according to sources familiar with the ongoing discussions.

The White House has emphasized that employees are prohibited from using nonpublic information for personal financial gain and reiterated that all staff are expected to comply with strict ethics rules.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Thursday that President Trump was personally briefed on the matter.

“Obviously, I’m aware of the report. The President is, too. I spoke with him about it. He believes it’s deeply unfortunate and, frankly, a disgrace.”

Leavitt added that Perez is cooperating with the CFTC investigation and has been placed on administrative leave without pay pending the outcome of the investigation.

“The individual that was cited in that report is complying with the CFTC but has been put on paid administrative leave. So there will be a teleprompter operator tonight, of course, but it will not be the one, unfortunately, in that story.”
