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.
Top DHS Special Agent And His Wife Found Dead
A Department of Homeland Security special agent and his wife were found dead in their New Jersey home in what appears to be a murder-suicide, prosecutors said.
Police in Sayreville responded to the couple’s home on Glynn Court around 8 p.m. July 3 and found Kelly Latauro, 46, dead inside the residence, the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office said.
Her husband, 52-year-old Christopher Latauro, was discovered dead in the backyard.
Both appear to have been shot.
Authorities said Christopher is believed to be the shooter and the case is being investigated as a murder-suicide.
Police told residents to keep away from Glynn Court, from Deerfield Road to Scarlet Drive, briefly because of police activity.
The area was reopened about 40 minutes later, but police remained on scene.
According to NJ101.5, citing DHS records from 2019 and 2020, Christopher was a special agent for the Department of Homeland Security.
Authorities have not said what may have sparked the violence.
Kelly’s sister-in-law Robyn Perlman-Spencer confirmed her death in a Facebook post on July 7, remembering her in a heartbreaking tribute.
“As many of you may now know, my beautiful sister in law Kelly Iatauro was senselessly and suddenly taken from us on Friday. Kelly was a bright light- kind, thoughtful, hysterical, inappropriate, and just one of the most amazing people I’ve ever known. She left a lasting impression on anyone that was lucky enough to know her,” Robyn wrote in part.
Sayreville police confirmed officers responded to the Glynn Court residence on July 3 and found both people dead of gunshot wounds.
The incident is being treated as a murder-suicide, and Christopher is suspected to be the shooter, the spokesperson said.
The Department of Homeland Security and Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office did not immediately respond to additional requests for comment on the case.
What began as a heavy police response to a deadly scene left two people dead and the quiet Middlesex County neighborhood stunned.
Investigators are still trying to piece together what happened inside the home leading up to the gunfire.
Separately, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin made headlines last week with an election-related announcement.
Mullin on Friday said officials who don’t cooperate with the administration’s election security efforts may be slapped with fines — and potentially prison time.
“If the election officials, once we gave them the information they need to secure their elections — and they chose not to — then those individuals can also be held accountable by fines, by penalties, and even, depending on how far it goes, prison time,” Mullin said during a press conference at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
Mullin also promised DHS would work to “speed up our security enhancements” for states.
He vowed to hold up federal election security grants until state officials took steps the administration demanded, including running their voter registration lists through a system that checks for non-citizen voters on the rolls.
Mullin made his comments after President Donald Trump’s primetime address on election security Thursday night, when he repeated already known concerns about the security of voting systems, alleged Chinese efforts to get into voter rolls, and aired old gripes about the results of the 2020 election, which he lost to Joe Biden.
In his remarks on Friday, the DHS secretary focused on DHS’s work with states to secure election systems and scrub voter registration rolls for fraud and concerns about noncitizen voting.
The Justice Department also sent letters this month threatening prosecution to election officials across the country if they don’t remove noncitizens from their voter rolls.
On Friday, Mullin seemed to suggest that the agency was able to estimate the numbers using the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and said 23 states are already working with DHS to analyze voter rolls.
And he criticized the legal challenges that are hindering the administration’s efforts: Last month, a judge blocked the Trump administration from creating a database of information about Americans, including Social Security numbers and citizenship status.
