DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream to talk about ICE operations.

Secretary Mullin explained that his agency is simply enforcing the laws that Congress made. Leftist sanctuary politicians have been critical of ICE operations, yet they ignore the victims, including law enforcement officers that have repeatedly been attacked.

A news clip was shown of New York Governor Kathy Hochul criticizing ICE for shooting into a vehicle, even though an illegal alien was endangering the lives of the law enforcement officers who were pursuing him.

“Let’s start with that case, Oscar Belgal, the shooting on Thursday. Here is how Governor Kathy Hochul, there in New York, describes what happened,” Bream said.

“She says she asked you to issue an order that agents not fire into cars. What’s the policy? Will we see bodycam or other footage that may be available?” Bream asked.

“Let me back up on this. When the Governor, the Mayor, all these career, sanctuary politicians, not one of them said anything when their own, the NYPD officer, that was also stabbed seven times in this same neighborhood, in the Bronx, just last week. They were completely silent,” Mullin said.

Mullin explained that immigration detainers were ignored. He also exposed the hypocrisy of these leftist politicians by pointing out that when law enforcement officers are attacked, there is no attention brought to them.

“All of them we had detainers on and asked them to be sent over to us instead of released back on the streets. And when an NYPD officer got stabbed, no one did a press conference, no one was outside protesting. No one said a word,” Mullin continued.

Mullin explained the extent of the illegal alien’s criminal record. Oscar Belgal was only in the country for three years and had a lengthy criminal record.

“When Oscar, an individual that had evaded us last month, has an extensive criminal background. Let me just read it. Has four charges for felony robbery, two charges for assault, felony larceny, misdemeanor assault, weapons possession larceny, possession with stolen property, and two felony charges for drugs. Plus, a strong gang affiliation,” Mullin said.

“They are out there protesting for this guy, and he’s only been in the country for three years, and he has this extensive background, and they were all three released by the Biden administration,” Mullin said.

“It’s absolutely hypocrisy, and ridiculous that they are out here trying to make something big about this,” Mullin continued.

“We don’t make the laws. We simply enforce the laws. We don’t pick and choose, but we are out there every single day trying to keep criminals off our streets that sanctuary states and sanctuary cities release,” Mullin said.

REMINDER: Ukraine’s Zelensky Was a Total Disrespectful Jerk When He Met with the Trump Team in White House in February 2025

Ukraine’s Zelensky was a disrespectful piece of work in 2025 in the White House.

We shared that the US should stop every bit of support to this madman after his actions at that time.

Zelensky should be immediately escorted out of the White House and immediately exported back to Ukraine. What a disrespectful piece of sh!t this person is. How dare he speak to the President of the United States of America and to the people of America after all #WeThePeople have… https://t.co/AVRvIOsk6e

Also disrespectful were the corrupt war-mongering senators who met with Zelensky before he met with President Trump.  What monsters!

Warmonger, slimy snakes met with Zelensky before the Trump meeting.

Yesterday, we reported that a massive Russian terminal was bombed by Ukraine.  The following was reported:

BREAKING: Ukraine has just struck the NZNP Rostovsky oil products export terminal in Rostov-on-Don and set it ablaze, hours after the US-Russia diesel deal and Trump lifting sanctions on Russian fuel exports.

This is a products export terminal, exactly where the diesel would leave Russia under the deal.

Ukrainian military sources said earlier today that the Trump administration’s attempt to use Russian diesel to lower US prices before the midterms “will bear no fruit.”

This was after President Trump told Zelensky not to bomb Russia’s oil refineries.

So, which country is America’s enemy and which is our friend again?

In what can only be described as inevitable, according to a Campus Reform report, “A record-low share of Americans say a college education is ‘very important”

We have reported extensively at The Gateway Pundit on the many documented bias incidents and biased professors on campus. Now, people are coming to the inevitable conclusion that college is a waste.

“A recent Gallup poll found that 31% of U.S. adults now view college as “very important,” which is down from 70% in 2013 and below the 36% Gallup recorded when it first asked the question in 1978.”

Costly schools that indoctrinate instead of educate should not expect to be popular or sought after.

“The decline spans across major demographic groups. Gallup noted that there have been double-digit declines in the percentage of women, Democrats, people of color, and college graduates who view college as “very important.”

Barely anyone holds colleges in esteem anymore.

“The decline comes as higher education faces scrutiny over tuition rates, political agendas, grade inflation, artificial intelligence, and whether colleges are adequately preparing students for the modern workforce.”

“A separate Gallup analysis found that Americans who lack confidence in higher education most often cited political agendas, cost, and poor workforce preparation.”

Lindsie Rank, Director of Campus Rights Advocacy at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, told Campus Reform that colleges have traditionally been viewed as places where students learn to listen, think, and speak. “But attacks on student speech and academic freedom rights mean students aren’t always coming away with those lessons,” Rank said.

“Rank added that colleges could help rebuild trust by “eradicating censorial policies and practices” and “teaching students the value and discipline of civic discourse.”

This statement is questionable, however, in light of the long-term damage that has been done to the reputations of colleges.

As “Higher Education Policy Advisor at Third Way Colin Kerr told Campus Reform that “there is a growing concern of a misalignment between what college costs and what it delivers in the labor market.”

Most likely, more and more people will opt out of the costly and un-American atmosphere that exists on many college campuses well into the future.

College has become a breeding ground for left-wing and Marxist indoctrination. More and more Americans will choose to forgo this altogether.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared on Fox and Friends this morning to discuss his recent schooling of Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren in a letter where he savaged her with a happy ‘Indigenous Peoples Day’ message.

In more than 100 letters to Bessent, Warren has been hurling accusations at Bessent and demanding information about the Trump Administration’s monetary policy.

Bessent shared his response to one of Warren’s letters on Saturday, slamming her incompetence and obviously politically motivated “letter-writing crusade,” while offering her a “Foreign Exchange for Dummies” course.

Then, he savaged the fake Indian Senator, handwriting at the bottom of his letter, “Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day in advance to you and your family.”

Scott Bessent Goes Scorched Earth on Elizabeth Warren – Ends Epic Letter with “Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day”

They don't teach monetary policy on the reservation.

Bessent and the Fox and Friends hosts had a field day trolling Warren on Sunday.

"Senator Warren loves to write letters. More than writing the letters, she loves to leak them to the press that I read about the letter on Bloomberg and Politico before we receive it, and a lot of these letters are embarrassing," Bessent said of his pen pal relationship with Warren.

Slamming her as "economically illiterate," Bessent continued, "she is the ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee, and she is on Senate Finance. So, like this level of illiteracy, whether it's her or her staff, is woeful."

"I wish her Happy Indigenous Peoples Day to her, to her and her family, given some of the past claims she's made," he added.

"Maybe the problem is that you keep trying to exchange letters with her, and you should be doing smoke signals, and then she would be able to understand it," Fox and Friends co-host Charlie Hurt joked.

"Well, I'll tell you the other shocking thing: not a single legacy media outlet has called her out on this. No one has said like what what is going on in the senior senator from Massachusetts’ office?" Bessent added. "What do they do all day? Do they like sit around and like you know sip herbal tea and think about raising taxes?"

Of his handwritten note, Bessent said he always adds a handwritten note at the end of a letter and described the green ink as "treasury green."

Bessent further trolled her fake Indian claims and past statements about her family having "high cheekbones like all of the Indians do."

"I've got high cheekbones; all three of you got high cheekbones. It doesn’t make us indigenous people, but that somehow became the Warren family legacy."

We now know where James Talarico really was when he disappeared for two weeks from the campaign trail.

His excuse was that he was suffering from the flu, but it appears he was suffering from a breakdown of sorts.

Talarico just vanished out of thin air after a September 28 fundraiser with TDS-infected actor Robert DeNiro and allies of NYC Mayor Zohran Mandani in New York. He was also raising money from the gay Human Rights Campaign in New York.

Talarico finally resurfaced on Friday, October 9, at the ACL music festival in Austin, Texas, the Gateway Pundit reported. His team tried to gaslight the country. “Hate to disappoint the conspiracy theorists, but James is still alive and meeting with voters at ACL today,” a Talarico spokesperson said as if it’s totally normal to disappear for two weeks in the heat of an election.

Trump called BS on his so-called flu last night while speaking at a rally in Clarksville, Tennessee.

(VIDEO) Trump Calls BS on Talarico’s Flu Excuse – “TalaFreako Had the Longest Flu Ever Recorded… I Don’t Think it Was the Flu.”

Trump previously said that “bad rumors are coming out” as Talarico remained in hiding. Many speculated a mental health crisis or that he had fallen ill with a disease much worse than the flu.

It turns out he had a mental health crisis and was holed up at the Lindner Center of HOPE, an inpatient mental health treatment facility and psychiatric hospital in Mason, Ohio.

In a phone call placed by political strategist Rhein Amacher and journalist Nick Sortor to the Lindner Center, an employee confirms that Talarico had been "just discharged" from the facility on Saturday. He was seemingly discharged the day before, on Friday, but his discharge was likely not processed or finalized immediately. She did, however, confirm that he was at the facility.

LISTEN:

Nick Sortor broke the news on X after he and Amacher called the facility.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Ohio mental hospital CONFIRMS James Talarico was discharged from the facility earlier this week

The “flu” thing was a BIG FAT LIE

Following reporting by @SaraGonzalesTX and @CarolineWren, a hospital employee told @RheinAmacher and I that Talarico had in fact been a patient at the Lindner Center of Hope near Cincinnati, Ohio, which specializes in around-the-clock mental health treatment.

While I sympathize with those dealing with mental health crises, this man is CLEARLY not suited to become a US Senator representing over 30 MILLION TEXANS.

The job doesn’t get easier after being elected — it only gets MORE stressful.

And Talarico clearly can’t handle it.

I pray he gets the help he needs, but Texans need a real representative they can rely on.

— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) October 11, 2026

Due to HIPAA privacy laws, it is unclear whether the employee's disclosure of Talarico's name being in the Lindner Center system was legal.

As previously noted by GOP fundraiser Caroline Wren on Saturday, Talarico appeared to have taken a private plane from Hamilton, Ohio, back to Austin, Texas, on Friday morning, just before he emerged at the music festival. Wren also pointed out that this is the same facility where Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo stayed for nearly two months during an episode back in 2023.

And the facility hosts drag shows, which is an added bonus for Talarico. Maybe his favorite drag queen was there.

What are the chances that a private plane took off from Austin and flew to tiny Hamilton airport in Ohio which is 20 mins from the Lindner Center, a private inpatient mental health treatment facility, and then turned around and flew back to Austin landing yesterday morning at… pic.twitter.com/ICSqp9sIG6

Former Los Angeles Mayoral Candidate Spencer Pratt also sounded the alarm on Friday, noting that while Talarico deserves "empathy," he also deserves people to "savagely mock his smug, awful campaign advisors" for lying to the people of Texas and trying to hide this.

"Campaigns are brutal, and not everybody is cut out for it. You need very thick skin. As much as I don't want Talarico anywhere near government, I also don't want wish him harm, and no political office is worth having a breakdown. His awful advisors are at fault for this. They pushed him to be something he isn't, and it didn't work," Pratt wrote.

My sources are telling me Talarico is in a mental health facility. His campaign has stopped actively planning events in the vital homestretch of the campaign.

If this is true, this is actually a time to pray for Talarico. We should, of course, savagely mock his smug, awful campaign advisors, by all means...and while yes, of course, this would be disqualifying for Talarico's aspirations to be a Texas Senator, we must hold empathy for anyone undergoing crisis. Campaigns are brutal, and not everybody is cut out for it. You need very thick skin. As much as I don't want Talarico anywhere near government, I also don't want wish him harm, and no political office is worth having a breakdown. His awful advisors are at fault for this. They pushed him to be something he isn't, and it didn't work.

I'm praying that this isn't true, and he's OK. You want to win these fights on the battlefield of ideas, not the minefield of poor health.

We have contacted the Talarico campaign to ask for confirmation of this story and a statement. We will update this story when we hear back.

This is a developing story.

President Trump on Sunday announced an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.

“Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. Do not break it! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Trump said on Sunday.

Later Sunday morning, Zelensky responded and said Ukraine supports the ceasefire.

“I just spoke with Mark Carney, @alexstubb, and @SecGenNATO Mark Rutte. We discussed the energy ceasefire announced by President Trump,” Zelensky said.

“Ukraine supports the ceasefire, and it is important that Russia support it as well. We are awaiting details from the American side. For our part, Ukraine always FULLY supports steps toward de-escalation, the protection of lives, and the decisions needed to end the war and guarantee lasting peace. Thank you!” he said.

The energy ceasefire comes after President Trump announced a historic diesel deal with Russia.

Trump said the US will now be importing diesel fuel from Russia.

The President secured several million tons of Russian diesel ahead of the midterm elections in addition to his executive order to slash prices.

Trump went off on Zelensky after announcing a deal with Russia to sell diesel to the US.

While speaking to reporters on Friday, Trump blasted the Ukrainian President’s refusal to make peace and blamed him for the continuation of the war with Russia after Ukraine’s latest attack on a Russian oil export hub.

“I think it’s time for Ukraine to get a new president,” Trump said, blaming Zelensky for high oil and diesel prices.
