White House Criticizes Maryland and Virginia Governors Over ICE Cooperation and Mask Bans

President Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, has sharply criticized Maryland Governor Wes Moore and Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger for their recent actions concerning U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Homan stated that ICE is continuing its enforcement surge in Virginia and Maryland. Governor Moore signed a new law banning law enforcement officers, including federal agents like ICE, from wearing masks or face coverings, which Homan dismissed as ineffective against federal operations. In Virginia, Governor Spanberger is criticized for not honoring ICE immigration detainers, preventing state troopers from collaborating with ICE on arresting violent criminals, and effectively ending local 287(g) agreements. Homan accused Spanberger of betraying taxpayers and prioritizing politics over public safety, citing instances where violent criminals released from custody have allegedly committed further crimes.

Indiana Attorney General's Office Establishes Partnership with ICE Under FAIRNESS Act

Indiana Attorney General's Office Establishes Partnership with ICE Under FAIRNESS Act

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita announced a new partnership with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This collaboration is a direct result of the FAIRNESS Act, which went into effect on July 1. The Act establishes state-level penalties for employers who knowingly hire or employ unauthorized workers and mandates cooperation between local governments and federal immigration authorities. Attorney General Rokita stated that this partnership is crucial for deporting undocumented individuals and enhancing the state's ability to protect its residents. He also highlighted that the agreement, known as a 287(g) agreement, allows state investigators to work more closely with ICE. Rokita expressed that while any Indiana sheriff could enter into such an agreement, only a few have done so, indicating missed opportunities for other counties to strengthen their law enforcement capabilities. The Attorney General's office spearheaded the FAIRNESS Act, and this partnership is part of its implementation.

Senator Hawley's Bill to Designate Churchill Museum as National Historic Landmark Passes Senate, Heads to President Trump's Desk

Senator Josh Hawley's legislation to designate America’s National Churchill Museum in Fulton, Missouri, as a National Historic Landmark has unanimously passed the Senate. The bill, which was also sponsored in the House by Rep. Bob Onder, now awaits President Trump's signature to become law. This marks the first time the legislation has reached the President's desk, despite Senator Hawley having introduced it multiple times since 2024. The museum, located on the Westminster College campus, commemorates Winston Churchill's historic "Iron Curtain" speech delivered there on March 5, 1946, alongside President Harry S. Truman. The legislation directs the Secretary of Interior to officially recognize the museum as a National Historic Landmark and mandates the National Park Service to conduct a Special Resource Study for potential future designations of the site.
