House Passes Bill To Deport Migrants Who Assault Police Officers
The House, which is controlled by the GOP, passed a bill that says the federal government must deport any illegal immigrant who attacks a police officer, even though most Democrats don’t agree with it.
The bill passed with 265 votes in favor and 148 votes against, with 54 Democrats voting with the GOP. The Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act is what Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., is in charge of. “There is no reason that an illegal alien who attacks our law enforcement should remain in our country; that shows zero respect for our rule of law or our institutions, and they will not be positive contributors to society,” Van Drew said.
The bill says that the federal government must keep illegal immigrants in jail until they are sent back to their home countries. Van Drew says it also creates a new type of migrant inadmissibility that specifically targets illegal immigrants who are accused of attacking police.
Rep. Tom Emmer, the House Majority Whip and No. 3 Republican, said after the bill passed, “House Democrats just voted to protect violent, illegal immigrants over our brave law enforcement officers.” The Democrat Party has once again shown that they are the most anti-law enforcement party in history.
CNN’s new poll is shocking because it shows that the Democratic Party is way behind the Republicans when it comes to economic issues. This shocked CNN data expert Harry Enten.
The data analyst was shocked that the Democrats and their media allies’ attempts to scare Americans about Trump’s tariff plans had failed after months of trying.
“You would think that after all the waves, Kate Bolduan, after the last few months, the first five months of the Donald Trump presidency, right, the first four months of the Donald Trump presidency, that Democrats would have this huge lead on the economy. Not so. He told CNN anchor Kate Bolduan, “It ain’t so.”
“The party that most closely matches your economic views. The Republicans were ahead by 11 points in November 2023. The data analyst said, “It’s still in that range, still within that margin of error, and the Republican Party has an eight-point lead.”
“How is that possible, Democrats? How is that possible? The economy is still in trouble, the stock market has been doing all of this, and Americans are against all of the tariffs. He said, “Are you kidding me?”
The anchor asked, “How is that trending with other data that you’re pulling in when we look for trends?”
“Yes, if it was only this one CNN poll, that would be different. But look at Reuters/IPSOS. What do we see here? Party with a better plan for the economy. “Well, in May 2024, just before Donald Trump was re-elected president, Republicans had a nine-point lead,” Enten said.
“Look at where we are now, in May 2025.” The lead actually grew by three points. The Republicans now have a 12-point edge over the Democrats when it comes to which party has the better economic plan. And once more, this is after months of supposed economic uncertainty, during which the stock market has been going crazy and the tariff wars that Americans don’t want have been going on. Still, the Democrats are behind by 12 points when it comes to the economy. “This is the best thing I’ve ever seen that shows how bad the Democrats are doing on the economy,” said the shocked data analyst.
“The Republicans still have the upper hand on the most important issue of the day.” He said, “And that’s why Republicans aren’t out of the game yet, even though Donald Trump’s approval ratings have dropped a little. They still have a clear advantage on the economy, whether you look at CNN’s polls or the IPSOS poll right here, where they have a 12-point advantage on the economy.”
He also said that Republicans have a strong hold on the votes of middle-class people.
Trump Warns Iran of ‘Total Obliteration’ if They Try To Harm Him HH
President Donald Trump warned Iran that continued assassination threats made by leaders in Tehran would be met with the country getting “blown up” and “total obliteration.”
“Well, they shouldn’t be doing it but I’ve left notification,” Trump said. “Anything ever happens, we’re going to blow the whole — the whole country’s going to get blown up.”

Biden-era Intelligence officials briefed Trump about the alleged threats against him during his presidential campaign in 2024. Former Attorney General Merrick Garland said the plot was retaliation for the killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani by the U.S. in 2020, during Trump’s first administration.
Despite being briefed by his administration, Trump on Tuesday said President Biden “should have said something” on the matter, adding that presidents should defend each other on such matters.
“But I have very firm instructions,” Trump continued. “Anything happens, they’re going to wipe them off the face of this earth.”

Trump also spoke about the ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran in Geneva.
“What are you expecting from these Iran talks in Geneva?” a reporter asked Trump aboard Air Force One.

“So, I’ll be involved in those talks indirectly, and they’ll be very important. We’ll see what can happen. Typically, Iran’s a very tough negotiator; they’re good negotiators — or bad negotiators. I would say they’re bad negotiators because we could have had a deal instead of sending the B2s to knock out their nuclear potential. We had to send the B2s. I hope they’re going to be more reasonable. They want to make a deal,” Trump said.
“Have you been told that a deal is next to impossible?” the reporter followed up.
Trump replied, “No. I think they want to make a deal. I don’t think they want the consequences of not making a deal. They want to make a deal.”
WATCH:
Trump previously said that he instructed officials to destroy Iran if they killed him.
The president said this after signing an executive order right after taking office that gave him all the tools he needed to talk to Iran’s government and put as much pressure on Tehran as possible.
“They haven’t done that and that would be a terrible thing for them to do,” Trump said at the time. “Not because of me — if they did that, they would be obliterated. That would be the end. I’ve left instructions, if they do it, they get obliterated, there won’t be anything left. And, they shouldn’t be able to do it.”
Trump warned last week that the United States could send additional warships toward Iran if ongoing diplomatic negotiations fail to produce a deal, signaling that military pressure could increase as talks over Tehran’s nuclear program stall.
In remarks to Axios, Trump said the administration is considering deploying a second aircraft carrier strike group to the region in addition to the USS Abraham Lincoln and 9 additional warships already positioned near Iran, though he expressed hope that a diplomatic agreement can still be reached.
“Either we will make a deal or we will have to do something very tough like last time,” the president told Axios on Tuesday, a reference to the bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites in June.
“Last time they didn’t believe I would do it. They overplayed their hand,” Trump added. “We have an armada that is heading there and another one might be going.”
The president emphasized that the United States is seeking to persuade Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions, halt the development of its ballistic missile program, and end support for militant proxy groups. Iranian officials have so far resisted expanding negotiations beyond nuclear-related issues.
He described the nuclear issue as a “matter of course” part of any negotiation, but also insisted that an agreement with Iran must also address Tehran’s ballistic missile stockpiles, per Axios.
Trump said the US “can make a great deal with Iran,” and Tehran “very much wants to make a deal.”
Trump’s comments came ahead of a planned visit to Washington, D.C. by Benjamin Netanyahu, who is expected to press for a tougher U.S. stance and broader terms for any Iran deal that would include constraints on Tehran’s missile capabilities and regional activities.
Before heading to DC, the Israeli leader previewed some of what he and Trump were going to discuss.
“I will present to the president our understanding of the principles of the negotiations (with Iran) – the essential principles that are important not only to Israel – but to everyone who wants peace and security in the Middle East,” Netanyahu told reporters, per the New York Post.
The administration has already bolstered its military presence in the Middle East, with multiple warships and aircraft deployed as a means of deterrence and leverage.
