WWW.FOXNEWS.COMTrump urges 'temporary pass' from immigration crackdown for key industries: 'I cherish our farmers'The Trump administration is working on a way to allow farmers and the hospitality industry to have a "temporary pass" to avoid a negative impact from Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, he said on "Sunday Morning Futures.""I dont back away. What I do have, I cherish our farmers," the president said when asked by host Maria Bartiromo about the issue. "And when we go into a farm and we take away people that have been working there for 15 and 20 years, who were good, who possibly came in incorrectly. And what were going to do is were going to do something for farmers where we can let the farmer sort of be in charge. The farmer knows hes not going to hire a murderer.""But you know, when you go into a farm and you set somebody working with them for nine years doing this kind of work, which is hard work to do and a lot of people arent going to do it, and you end up destroying a farmer because you took all the people away," he said.TRUMP DIRECTS ICE TO EXPAND DEPORTATION EFFORTS IN AMERICA'S LARGEST CITIES"Its a problem. You know, Im on both sides of the thing. Im the strongest immigration guy that theres ever been, but Im also the strongest farmer guy that theres ever been, and that includes also hotels and, you know, places where people work, a certain group of people work," the president added.CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGE"Were working on it right now. Were going to work it so that, some kind of a temporary pass, where people pay taxes, where the farmer can have a little control as opposed to you walk in and take everybody away," he continued, emphasizing that "criminals are going out of this country."On June 12, the president made similar comments about hotels and farms potentially running into issues as the result of federal immigration enforcement.SEN CHUCK GRASSLEY: HOW SENATE REPUBLICANS ARE RESTORING RULE OF LAW AND SECURING BORDER FOR YEARS TO COME"Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace," Trump posted to Truth Social."In many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs. This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!"On June 19, border czar Tom Homan signaled that those operations would still continue, but its not a major focus.ICE DEPORTATION EFFORTS COULD BE DERAILED IF CONGRESS DOESN'T ACT SOON"The message is clear that were going to continue to do worksite enforcement operations even on farms and hotels but based on a prioritized basis. Criminals come first," Homan said, according to Axios.ICE and DHS referred to the White House, and the White House deferred to the presidents remarks when Fox News Digital reached out. The comments from the president come as the administration aims to ramp up deportation efforts, whether its those with criminal charges and convictions or who entered the country illegally under the Biden administration. At the border itself, apprehensions and gotaway figures have taken a nosedive since Trump took office.DHS is also encouraging those without a criminal history to self-deport by offering $1,000 and free travel outside the United States. ICE operations have been the subject of protests and even riots, including in Los Angeles.0 Comments 0 Shares 5 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMFormer boxing coach says Kohberger never competed despite suspect's boastsMany of Bryan Kohberger's defense witnesses don't want to go to Idaho and testify at his upcoming murder trial including his former boxing coach, who told a Pennsylvania judge the suspected killer never competed and just came to work out.Jesse Harris, a boxing gym owner and contractor who Kohberger claimed to have studied under as a teen, asked a Pennsylvania judge to block his subpoena in the case based on undue hardship and the fact that it's been almost 15 years since he saw the 30-year-old Kohberger.Harris said his wife is fighting cancer, and he can't step away from his business for "20 minutes," let alone the time it would take to travel to and from Boise.PENNSYLVANIA RESIDENTS FIGHT SUBPOENAS IN BRYAN KOHBERGER'S IDAHO MURDER CASEKohberger's father brought him to Harris' gym to build up his confidence when he was 15, the pugilist said.He described the operation as a place for kids to go when they couldn't make the cut on other sports teams. He said Kohberger never competed he just worked out.KOHBERGER'S FORMER JAIL GUARD CALLED TO TESTIFY IN QUADRUPLE MURDER CASE AS WITNESS LIST GROWSKohberger never even sparred there, he said, although the suspected killer wrote on a job application previously obtained by Fox News Digital that he "boxed every day after school at the Jesse Harris Boxing Gym."Judge Arthur Zulick upheld the Idaho subpoena, meaning Harris will have to testify at trial but he said that could change if his wife's health deteriorates and leaving her would cause an undue hardship.KEY FIGURES FROM BRYAN KOHBERGER'S PENNSYLVANIA YOUTH SUMMONED TO IDAHO FOR STUDENT MURDERS TRIALAt an hour-long hearing Monday on whether a half-dozen Pennsylvanians should be compelled to travel to Boise for the trial, only one agreed to go on his own. That was Anthony Somma, a former classmate of Kohberger's.Other defense witnesses were told to return to court next week. And hours after the hearing, the court revealed that more witnesses have been subpoenaed by the prosecution Alison Ackerman and Lynn Courtright. Their connections to Kohberger were not immediately clear.Kohberger's defense team has already reserved a block of hotel rooms for his witnesses and is responsible for the costs of air fare and lodgings.Brandon Andreola also asked the judge to deny his subpoena. It was a losing effort.GET REAL-TIME UPDATES AT THE FOX NEWS TRUE CRIME HUBHe said he is a new father and provides the sole income for his family. Reports that Kohberger's two sisters lost their jobs due to their connection to the quadruple murder suspect have him worried that he could lose his livelihood next, he said.The judge upheld the subpoena. Andreola asked if he could testify remotely, and the judge said that would be up to his counterpart overseeing the trial in Idaho, Judge Steven Hippler.FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON XRalph Vecchio III appeared in court in response to a subpoena for "Ralph Vecchio." He said the intended recipient may have been his father, who owned the family car business back in 2019 when Kohberger's parents bought a white Hyundai Elantra. The younger Vecchio took over in 2021.thSIGN UP TO GET THE TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTERHe said he never met Kohberger. The judge declared the current subpoena invalid but gave Kohberger's lawyers a chance to amend it. Vecchio is due back in court next week. He said his 88-year-old father is "homebound" and in poor health.William Searfoss, a jail guard who preserved Kohberger's records from a brief stay in Pennsylvania lockup before his extradition to Idaho, will likely not need to appear. Kohberger's attorneys need to subpoena those records themselves and not the correction officer who maintains them. He's due back in court next week, and Kohberger's lawyers will subpoena the records directly.Maggie Sanders was unavailable for Monday's hearing due to international travel. She is due in court on July 7. Her connection to Kohberger remains unclear.Ann Parham, an advisor at Kohberger's former high school, was ordered to testify before Monday's hearing and will be present at trial.0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMWhite House says Mamdani would 'crush' New York City if elected mayorPresident Donald Trump is confident that democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani would "crush" New York City if he is elected mayor, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says.Leavitt made the statement during a Monday press briefing while fielding multiple questions from reporters about Mamdani's victory in the democratic mayoral primary.Fox News' White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked Leavitt about recent calls for Mamdani to be deported, citing calls from one lawmaker who said Mamdani should be denaturalized."I haven't heard him say that. I haven't heard him call for that. But certainly he does not want this individual to be elected. I was just speaking to him about it and [Mamdani's] radical policies that will completely crush New York City, which is obviously a city that the president holds near and dear to his heart," Leavitt responded.HAKEEM JEFFRIES SAYS NYC HOPEFUL MAMDANI NEEDS TO 'CLARIFY' HIS POSITION ON 'GLOBALIZE THE INTIFADA'Leavitt went on to say that Trump would be willing to work with Mamdani if he is elected, though she predicted that the relationship would be difficult."Look, the president is always willing to work with everyone. He's working with Democrats across the country, Democrat governors. And he said he'll work with people on the far left. He works with Republicans. He works with people in the middle. He wants to do what's right for America," Leavitt said."But surely someone who holds these values and is quite literally a communist and condemns every value that makes this country great: common sense, law and order, low taxes, working hard, and earning your keep in this country. He's against all of that. And I think the president would find it difficult to work with someone like that, if he is elected. I'm sure you'll hear more from the president on that, but we'll have to see. Hopefully, the voters of New York City choose wisely," she finished.Mamdani, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, defeated establishment favorite and former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and a crowded field of other candidates, in the Democratic mayoral primary last week.Liberal podcast host Donny Deutsch called out Mamdani on Monday for refusing to condemn the phrase "globalize the intifada" during an appearance on MSNBC."Im outraged that we have a candidate for mayor of New York, Mr. Mamdani, that cannot walk back or cannot condemn the words globalize the intifada and his nuance of, Well, it means different things for different people.' Well, let me tell you what it means to a Jew it means violence," Deutsch said, citing the October 7 terrorist attacks, as well as the Boulder, Colorado, attacks.SEN. KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND URGES ZOHRAN MAMDANI TO DENOUNCE 'GLOBALIZE THE INTIFADA' RHETORIC"That's the connotation. That's the essence of it, and that's what it means to Jewish people. And if any other group came forward and said, You know these words are offensive to us. It means violence. It frightens us,' I think there would be a response, but for some reason, if Jewish people find it offensive, it's not offensive," Deutsch continued.Mamdani had several opportunities to condemn the "globalize the intifada" phrase during an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, but he refused.Fox News' Hanna Panreck contributed to this report.0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMTrump to sign order lifting sanctions on SyriaPresident Donald Trump will sign an executive order to formally lift all sanctions on Syria on Monday afternoon."This is in an effort to promote and support the country's path to stability and peace. The order will remove sanctions on Syria while maintaining sanctions on the former president Assad or his associates, human rights abusers, drug traffickers, persons linked to chemical weapons activities, ISIS and their affiliates, and Iranian proxies," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters.Trump is "committed to supporting a Syria that is stable, unified and at peace with itself and its neighbors," Leavitt said.TRUMPS GAMBLE IN NORMALIZING RELATIONS WITH SYRIA IN THE FACE OF IRAN: HIGH-RISK, HIGH-REWARDSome sanctions will still need to be lifted by Congress, and others date to 1979, when Syria was designated a state sponsor of terrorism. The administration has not yet lifted that designation.Trump met last month with Syrias new interim leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, during a Middle East stint.From having a $10 million bounty on his head to sitting down with the U.S. president, the turnaround of the Syrian leader has been remarkable.Al-Sharaas group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a Syrian militant organization founded as an offshoot of al Qaeda, overthrew Assad in March.TRUMP ASKS SYRIA TO JOIN ABRAHAM ACCORDS, NORMALIZE TIES WITH ISRAEL IN RETURN FOR SANCTIONS RELIEFAl-Sharaa had been campaigning hard for a relationship with Washington and sanctions relief: he offered to build a Trump Tower in Damascus, dtente with Israel, and U.S. access to Syria's oil and gas. He worked to soften the image of HTS and promised an inclusive governing structure.The new order comes as Israeli and Syrian officials are engaged in back-channel talks on a potential security and normalization deal.U.S. sanctions have included financial penalties on any foreign individual or company that provided material support to the Syrian government and prohibited anyone in the U.S. from dealing in any Syrian entity, including oil and gas. Syrian banks also were effectively cut off from global financial systems.0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMHouse Freedom Caucus targets Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' with concerns about budget deficitMembers of the conservative House Freedom Caucus are warning they have serious issues with the Senate's version of President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" as it's currently written.The group of GOP rebels argued in a public statement on Sunday that the Senate bill adds $1.3 trillion to the federal deficit, whereas the House-passed bill would increase the federal deficit by $72 billion."Even without interest costs, it is $651 billion over our agreed budget framework," the statement read.The Senate is currently working through the bill and is expected to finish sometime later Monday or even on Tuesday.SENATE REPUBLICANS RAM TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' THROUGH KEY TEST VOTEThe Senate bill would add an extra $1 trillion to raise the debt limit, compared to the House version and permanently extend certain corporate tax cuts in President Donald Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that the House only extended temporarily.It also includes several specific new additions aimed at easing Senate Republicans' own concerns with the bill, including a $25 billion rural hospital fund to offset issues with Medicaid cuts, and a tax break for whalers that appears aimed at Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska.The Senate is operating under a mechanism called "current policy baseline," which would effectively zero-out the cost of extending TCJA tax cuts by calculating them as the de facto operational policy rather than calculating the cost as if they were not in place.Absent congressional action, TCJA tax cuts expire at the end of 2025.DEM DELAY TACTIC ENDS, DEBATE BEGINS ON TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL'Conservatives in the House have warned they have serious issues with the bill, however.Reps. Ralph Norman, R-Texas, and Eric Burlison, R-Mo., both House Freedom Caucus members, said the bill could face steep odds even fail in the lower chamber if changes were not made.Both said it could fail in a House-wide procedural vote before lawmakers could even contend with the measure itself. A rule vote is traditionally taken to allow for debate on legislation before lawmakers weigh in on it."If it gets through [the House Rules Committee], I don't think it survives on the floor in the current form it's in. You know, we told the senators that," Norman told Fox News Digital. "They knew this all along."Norman said Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., had done a "good job," but added of the Senate, "They've got fighters... but we've just got to have certain things that comply with our House version."The legislation could still change before it gets to the House, however, as the Senate works through a parade of amendments from both Democrats and Republicans.Burlison said it could depend on the fate of an amendment by Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., which would significantly hike the Medicaid financial burden for states that expanded their Medicaid population under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).The change, if passed, would roll back the current 90% rate that the government pays for the Medicaid expansion population through the federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP) back down to the non-expansion rate, which hovers as low as 50%.Scott's proposal could add hundreds of billions in savings to the plan, in addition to the nearly $1 trillion the Senate plan already saves in Medicaid spending."I don't see how what the Senate is doing will pass the House if [Rick Scott's amendment] does not pass at the minimum. It's probably going to take more spending reductions than that, but that would get the majority of us there," Burlison told Fox News Digital, without commenting on House GOP leaders.He predicted the bill could be "killed" in the House-wide rule vote otherwise.Indeed, several House Freedom Caucus members have taken to X to publicly urge Senate Republicans to approve Scott's amendment."All Republican Senators should vote YES on Senator Rick Scotts very reasonable 'elimination of theft from Medicaid' FMAP amendment," Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., posted.Fox News Digital reached out to Speaker Mike Johnson's office for comment on House Freedom Caucus members' comments.Notably, key provisions originally in the House bill were stripped out of the legislation for not being "Byrd-compliant."NATIONAL DEBT TRACKER: AMERICAN TAXPAYERS (YOU) ARE NOW ON THE HOOK FOR $36,215,806,064,740.36 AS OF 6/27/25The "Byrd Bath" is a process during the budget reconciliation process in which the Senate parliamentarian, a non-partisan, unelected official tasked with advising on Senate policy, combs through the bill for whether it adheres to the strict budgetary guidelines of the reconciliation process.Republicans are using the budget reconciliation process to advance Trump's agenda on taxes, the border, energy, defense, and the debt limit via one massive piece of legislation.Budget reconciliation allows Republicans to bypass any Democratic opposition to pass their bill by lowering the Senate's threshold for passage from 60 votes to 51.They're aiming to have a bill on Trump's desk by the Fourth of July.A GOP aide told Fox News Digital, "The Senate version contains more in Byrd-compliant savings than the House, and correctly scores extending current tax policy as revenue-neutral and assumes the kind of growth that was also massively underestimated last time around."The aide noted that the White House Council of Economic Advisers said the bill will generate $4.1 trillion in economic growth thanks to tax permanence, which is more than the House version.Senate Republicans argue the bill would lead to $1.6 trillion in spending cuts over 10 years above the House Freedom Caucus' demanded $1.5 trillion threshold.0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMBoulder terror attack: Colorado woman, 82, injured by Molotov cocktail dies, charges upgradedColorado prosecutors on Monday upgraded the charges against the alleged Boulder terror suspect following the death of an 82-year-old woman who was injured by Molotov cocktails in the June 1 attack.The woman was identified in court documents as Karen Diamond. The Boulder County District Attorney's Office said she "died tragically as a result of the severe injuries that she suffered in the attack.""I am devastated to hear of Karen Diamonds passing," Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said in a statement on Monday. "This loss is deeply felt by the Boulder community and our entire state, particularly within our strong Jewish community. My heartfelt condolences go out to her friends and family. Karen was taken from us too soon, and we mourn her loss while remembering her life and the impact she had on those who loved her."SUSPECT IN BOULDER TERROR ATTACK TARGETING PRO-ISRAEL DEMONSTRATORS CHARGED WITH FEDERAL HATE CRIMESMohamed Sabry Soliman a 45-year-old illegal immigrant from Egypt was indicted last week on 12 federal hate crime counts in the June 1 attack in downtown Boulder. He is accused of trying to kill the eight people who were hurt when he threw Molotov cocktails bottles filled with flammable liquid that are ignited as well as other people nearby.Solimans attorney, David Kraut, entered the not guilty plea on Solimans behalf during a hearing Friday. Soliman was being represented by public defenders who do not comment on their cases to news media.MAN ACCUSED OF BOULDER FIREBOMBING AT PRO-ISRAEL EVENT APPEARS IN COURT ON FEDERAL HATE CRIME CHARGEInvestigators say Soliman told them he intended to kill the roughly 20 participants at the weekly demonstration on Boulders Pearl Street pedestrian mall calling for the release of the remaining Israeli hostages taken by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7, 2023. He allegedly threw just two of his over two dozen Molotov cocktails while yelling, "Free Palestine."Soliman, who is also being prosecuted in state court, allegedly told investigators he tried to buy a gun but was not able to because he was not a "legal citizen."In court documents on Monday, the Boulder County District Attorney's Office said it was upgrading two counts to first-degree murder in connection with Diamond's death, as well as adding 66 new charges after more victims were identified.The district attorney's office said the new counts are related to 14 additional victims who have now been identified through the ongoing investigation.The amended complaint names a total of 29 victims in the attack. Of the 29 victims, 13 suffered physical injury during the attack, according to the district attorney's office.The complaint now contains two counts of first-degree murder, 52 counts of attempted first-degree murder, eight counts of first-degree assault, 18 counts of attempted first-degree assault, two counts of third-degree assault, two counts of using an incendiary device, 16 counts of attempted use of an incendiary device and one count of animal cruelty.The district attorney's office said the additional charges are being filed after consultation with the U.S. Attorneys Office, the FBI and the Boulder Police Department."This horrific attack has now claimed the life of an innocent person who was beloved by her family and friends," Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty said in a statement. "Our hearts are with the Diamond family during this incredibly difficult time.""Our office will fight for justice for the victims, their loved ones, and the community," he added. "Part of what makes Colorado special is that people come together in response to a tragedy; I know that the community will continue to unite in supporting the Diamond family and all the victims of this attack."Fox News Digital's Audrey Conklin and the Associated Press contributed to this report.0 Comments 0 Shares 8 Views 0 Reviews
