Texas Rep. Wesley Hunt blastedCalifornia Gov. Gavin Newsom for providing health benefits to millions of illegal migrants through the state's Medi-Cal program, and called on Newsom to conduct a full audit of the state's Medicaid expansion.In a scathing letter obtained by Fox News Digital, Hunt called on Newsom to fully auditCalifornia's Medi-Cal enrollment, publicly release the findings of ineligible individuals receiving benefits, and revoke waivers that allow the state to provide Medi-Cal to illegal migrants."Given the posture of Democrats in Congress and California Governor Gavin Newsom's public opposition to ICE operations, it's only logical to demand transparency on how many illegal immigrants in California are receiving benefits meant solely for American citizens," Hunt wrote.GAVIN NEWSOM IS MAKING A STRATEGIC VISIT TO A KEY PRIMARY STATE, RAISING EYEBROWSAccording to theWall Street Journal, the Census Bureau estimates that one in five immigrants in California are illegal aliens.Sources at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) say that the state of California is obligated to report Medi-Cal data to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).Newsom cut back on funding for illegal migrant healthcare in the state's budget he signed late last month, freezing California taxpayer-funded Medi-Cal for new illegal immigrant applicants starting January 2026. The governor also plans to charge illegal migrants on the program a premium beginning in 2027.But Hunt honed in specifically on Newsom's use of waivers previously granted by the Biden administration that allow the state to make Medi-Cal easier for illegal migrants to obtain.FROM NEW YORK TO ARIZONA, MIGRANT FACILITIES SHUTTERING IN WAKE OF TRUMP'S BORDER CRACKDOWN"I'm especially alarmed by Newsoms use of Section 1115 waivers under the Social Security Act, which have opened the door for undocumented immigrants to access Medicaid at the expense of American taxpayers," Hunt added.Section 1115 of the Social Security Act grants the federal government power to waive specific Medicaid requirements. States can request waivers from Section 1115, allowing them to bend and potentially reduce these requirements."Does California's Medicaid system fully comply with federal law?" Hunt questioned. "How many other Democrat-run states are exploiting similar loopholes? Its time to shine a light on this abuse and shut it down."SEC. MCMAHON RESPONDS TO NEWSOM'S OFFICE USING WWE CLIP MOCK TITLE IX ENFORCEMENT AMID TRANS ATHLETE FEUDHunt also sent a copy of the letter to HHS SecretaryRobert F. Kennedy and Centers for CMS AdministratorDr. Mehmet Oz."Californians deserve transparency, accountability, and adherence to the law in the administration of public health programs," the letter reads. "Policies that divert limited resources away from lawful recipients not only violate federal standardsthey destroy public trust and threaten the sustainability of programs designed to serve our most vulnerable citizens."Fox News Digital reached out to Newsom's office, but did not receive a response.

The owner of a Texas Hill Country RV park and restaurant is recounting her experience of flooding that left more than 100 people dead. Lorena Guillen, who owns Blue Oak RV Park and Howdy's Bar and Grill in Kerrville, said the rain started to come down around 1 a.m. By 2:30 a.m., she "went to check the water levels of the river." At that point, she said, it looked "fine." She called the sheriff's office, which had no information at that point, so she went to sleep only to be awoken between 3:30 and 4 a.m. by "lights of the rescuers.""It was so fast," Guillen told Fox News Digital. "It was so crazy, and I was going from RV to RV, banging on doors, getting everybody out.""One of my residents had called 911 because they could hear people screaming," she recalled. "But this is the middle of the night, it's pitch black."TEXAS MOTHER PRAISES BRAVE CAMP COUNSELORS WHO SAVED HER SONS FROM 'ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING' FLOODS"My husband got down all the way down to his waist in water just trying to rescue the people, and he was asking the guy please throw me your baby and few seconds later, they got swept away," she continued.TEXAS FLOODING VICTIMS INCLUDE DALLAS CATHOLIC SCHOOL SISTERS, CAMP COUNSELOR, WALMART EMPLOYEEThe father Guillen was speaking about has been identified as John Burgess of Liberty, Texas, according to KWTX. His wife and two sons have not yet been found, but his daughter, who was staying at a nearby camp, is reportedly safe."It was extremely difficult," Guillen recounted. "And you can see cars floating away with the lights on and honking. You could hear a lot of honking. And we also saw the cabins from next door just smashing against the trees."Guillen said her restaurant had some mud inside, but her employees quickly helped her clean it out and everyone came together to help recovery efforts.

South Carolina Republicans say theyre ready to give California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom "a HUGE Southern welcome" when he arrives in the key presidential primary state on Tuesday.Newsom is teaming up with the South Carolina Democratic Party for two days of meetings with voters in the state that officially held the first primary in the Democrats' 2024 calendar.The trip by the term-limited governor with a large national profile is sure to spark plenty of 2028 speculation, since Newsom is considered a potential contender for the next Democratic presidential nomination.Republicans in the GOP-dominated state are taking notice.TWENTY-ONE DEMOCRATS WHO MAY WANT TO RUN FOR THE WHITE HOUSE IN 2028"Gavin Newsom is bringing his Crazy California agenda to Trump Country. Its up to us to show him what real leadership looks like," the South Carolina GOP said in an email to supporters.The email included Newsom's itinerary during his Tuesday-Wednesday swing, which is full of stops at cafes, coffee shops, community centers and churches.SUCCEEDING TRUMP IN 2028: SIX REPUBLICANS TO KEEP YOUR EYES ON"The dates, times, and locations are listed below," the South Carolina GOP said. "Show up loud, proud, and decked out in your Trump gear and flags."State GOP chair Drew McKissic, in a separate statement, argued that "Gavin Newsom should go sell Crazy California somewhere else.He won't find many takers here."It was a similar message from South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, who earlier this year launched a Republican campaign for governor in 2026."We dont need Gavin Newsoms twisted version of America in the Palmetto State," Wilson argued in a statement. "If Gavin Newsom wants to test his national message here, hell be met by a united conservative front that knows exactly whats at stake."And Republican Rep. Nancy Mace, who is considering a run for governor next year, challenged Newsom to a debate."If Governor Newsom wants to bring California politics to South Carolina, he should be ready to defend his record, face to face," Mace said in a statement.The South Carolina Democratic Party, which announced Newsom's trip last week, said it's part of their effort to bring national Democrats to parts of the Palmetto State that they say have long been overlooked and "left behind" by Republican officials.SUCCEEDING TRUMP IN 2028: SIX REPUBLICANS TO KEEP YOUR EYES ON"Governor Newsom leads the largest economy in America and the fourth largest in the world, and hes coming to meet folks in towns that have been hollowed out by decades of Republican control," state party chair Christale Spain said in a statement.Newsom stopped in South Carolina in January of last year to campaign on behalf of then-President Joe Biden during the state's 2024 presidential primary. Newsom also visited Nevada, another early-voting state in the party's primary calendar.And Newsom traveled last summer on behalf of Biden to New Hampshire, the state that for a century has held the first-in-the-nation presidential primary.The former president was the Democrats' 2024 standardbearer before dropping out of the race last July following a disastrous debate performance against now-President Donald Trump. Vice President Kamala Harris replaced Biden at the top of the Democratic national ticket.South Carolina, New Hampshire and Nevada are vying for the lead-off position in the next presidential election cycle, and the Democratic National Committee is expected to decide on their 2028 calendar by early 2027.Newsom has long been thought to harbor national ambitions and is considered one of many Democrats who may make a run for the party's 2028 presidential nomination.The two-day swing through South Carolina will give Newsom an opportunity to make connections not only with voters, but also with local party and elected officials. The relationships forged this week could possibly pay dividends down the road for Newsom if he eventually decides to launch a 2028 presidential campaign.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and other federal law enforcement officers conducting immigration enforcement have been targeted in at least two ambushes in Texas in recent days.The Justice Department on Monday named 10 individuals charged with shooting a police officer in the neck and opening fire on other correctional officers outside the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, on the Fourth of July. The group, donning all black, allegedly first began shooting fireworks at the facility, which is being used by the Department of Homeland Security to hold people related to immigration violations or awaiting deportation. The defendants are Cameron Arnold, also known as Autumn Hill; Savannah Batten; Nathan Baumann; Zachary Evetts; Joy Gibson; Bradford Morris, also known as Meagan Morris; Maricela Rueda; Seth Sikes; Elizabeth Soto; and Ines Soto. The complaint charges each of them with three counts of attempted murder of a federal officer and three counts of discharging a firearm during, in relation to and in furtherance of a violent crime.ACTIVE SHOOTER KILLED IN ATTEMPT TO AMBUSH BORDER PATROL AGENTS IN TEXASApproximately 10 minutes after convening at the ICE facility, one or two individuals broke off from the main group and began to spray graffiti on vehicles and a guard structure in the parking lot, authorities said. Photos included in the criminal complaint, filed in the Northern District of Texas, show vehicles tagged with the messages "ICE pig" and "F--- you pigs." Correction officers dialed 911 and an Alvarado police officer responded to the scene.Immediately after the officer got out of his vehicle, one defendant positioned in nearby woods allegedly shot the officer in the neck, according to the complaint. Another assailant, wearing a green mask and standing across the street, then allegedly fired 20 to 30 rounds at unarmed correctional officers who had stepped outside the facility."The shooting was captured by both CCTV and the APD officer's body-worn camera," the complaint says.The FBI recovered AR-style rifles from the scene. The group fled from the detention center separately some on foot, some in vehicles and were later stopped by other law enforcement officers. The complaint notes that the defendants were "dressed in black, military-style clothing," some were wearing body armor, some were armed, and some had two-way radios.Prosecutors said a total of twelve sets of body armor were found during searches of vehicles associated with the defendants, on their persons, and in the area around the Prairieland Detention Center.Law enforcement also found spray paint, magazines containing ammunition and flyers stating, "FIGHT ICE TERROR WITH CLASS WAR!" and "FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS." A flag was found that read, "RESIST FASCISM FIGHT OLIGARCHY."DHS: ASSAULTS ON ICE NOW UP NEARLY 700% OVER SAME TIME LAST YEARGibson had two cell phones inside his backpack inside a "Faraday bag," which is used to block phone signals and "commonly used by criminal actors to try to prevent law enforcement from tracking their location," according to prosecutors.Two days after the attack, Rueda allegedly called Daniel Rolando Sanchez, who was charged in a separate complaint, expressing concern police would conduct a search warrant on Rueda's home in Fort Worth."Whatever you need to do, move whatever you need to move at the house," Rueda said, according to court documents. The FBI conducted surveillance on another address in Garland, Texas, believed to be Sanchez's residence and observed Sanchez carrying multiple packages to his truck. Agents followed Sanchez to an apartment in Denton. He carried a box inside which contained "anti-government propaganda," including fliers stating "Organising for Attack! Insurrectionary Anarchy," according to the complaint.The complaint was announced the same day that a man in a "utility vest" and armed with an assault rifle fired dozens of rounds at federal agents and a U.S. Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas, near the U.S.-Mexico border, on Monday.A police officer was injured before authorities say they shot and killed the assailant, identified as 27-year-old Ryan Louis Mosqueda.Police say Mosqueda was linked to a Michigan address, but was reported missing from a Weslaco, Texas, address around 4 a.m. Monday. Weslaco is about 20 miles from the Border Patrol facility.Hours before the attack in McAllen, Mosquedas father was stopped by Weslaco police around 2:30 a.m. for a traffic violation, according to police spokesperson Heriberto Caraveo. The father told police that he was looking for his son, who he said had psychological issues and was carrying weapons in his car, Caraveo told The Associated Press.Police say the white two-door sedan that Mosqueda drove to the facility had letters painted possibly in Latin on the drivers side door."What it means, or whether or not it is an underlying reason for him being here, I do not know," Rodriguez said when asked about the graffiti.Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Saturday that the Justice Department was "closely monitoring the attacks on DHS detention facilities in Prairieland, TX, and Portland, OR, and are coordinating with the USAOs and our law enforcement partners." He said in a post to X, "The Department has zero tolerance for assaults on federal officers or property and will bring the full weight of the law against those responsible."An ICE facility in Portland, Oregon, has faced repeated protests and attacks, and nearly two dozen people have been arrested since June.Another four suspects were arrested for allegedly targeting the facility on the Fourth of July, according to Oregon Live. Those defendants are Jeremy Andrew Hummel, Andrew Lee Wyatt Marcum, Riley Freeman and Ian Joseph McCarthy.Freeman is accused of tossing an incendiary device that exploded near federal officers outside the facility. Marcum is accused of kicking a federal officer who was chasing after Hummel, who was allegedly tagging protective plywood with graffiti.Prosecutors say McCarthy, meanwhile, used bolt cutters while attempting to damage an electronic card reader near the driveway of the ICE building. He was also spotted allegedly removing fiber optic cables, interrupting the internet service inside the building. McCarthy also allegedly kicked and punched officers while being placed under arrest.Freeman, Marcum and McCarthy appeared in federal court on Monday, but all three were released pending future court proceedings, according to KATU.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

A Kansas City radio host and podcaster ripped Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes as new photos surfaced of him celebrating the Fourth of July holiday with his wife, Brittany.Kevin Kietzman, the host of "Uncanceled" on KCMO Talk Radio and the "Kevin Kietzman Has Issues" podcast, suggested that Mahomes gained weight over the offseason and demanded the quarterback "stop the fast food."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"Vacation photos are popping up of Patrick Mahomes, and he's fat. I'm gonna say it, and I'm gonna tell you the truth, thats why you hit the play button, he's an embarrassment," he said. "You're a $500 million quarterback, you've made all these comments in the offseason that We're gonna do our talking on the field, we got our butts kicked in the Super Bowl, we're coming back with a vengeance. Dude, you're fat. Your belly would be fat at my pool, hanging out with us, 60 year olds. My skin is flabbier than yours, I get it. Stop. Stop the fast food. Do a sit-up. Do something."Yeah, I'm sure he's worked out and he's strengthened his arm and he's done all kind of different things, quarterback things, but there's no training to this man. I don't understand it. He's not a kid anymore, you can't just run through your NFL career eating Taco Bell all the time and Door Dashing fried chicken, which he loves. It's time dude. It's time.CHIEFS' PATRICK MAHOMES OPENS UP ABOUT BEST ADVICE HE'S GOTTEN FROM TOM BRADY"Going to camp and getting in shape is like 1970s baseball nobody does that anymore. Thats not how it works at the highest level. I only do this as a precaution because I love the guy. He's an enormous talent. But I cannot stand it when I see somebody just sit back on their talent and not be the best that they are."Mahomes had previously gone viral for having a so-called "dad bod" and even teamed up with Coors Light to lean into that notion."Ill also say I have a great body for a quarterback," he told Time Magazine last year. "Youve got to have some padding in there to take the hits that we take."Mahomes is listed at 225 pounds as he gets ready for Year 9.Kletzman said it "wasn't a weight thing" for him but rather a core issue and implored the quarterback to "do some crunches."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suggested that business magnate Elon Musk push for balanced budget and congressional term limit amendments to the U.S. Constitution, rather than build a new political party.Musk, who has been beating the drum about the need to rein in government spending, announced that he is launching a new political party called the America Party."Backing a candidate for president is not out of the question, but the focus for the next 12 months is on the House and the Senate," he noted in a post on X.ELON MUSK INDICATES HIS NEW POLITICAL PARTY WILL BE PRO-GUN, PRO-BITCOIN: THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS SACREDDeSantis is not on board with the idea.The governor suggested that if Musk funds candidates in competitive Senate and House contests, Democrats will likely win.But DeSantis acknowledged that the GOP has an issue with people running on spending less, but then failing to do so. "There's a gap between the campaign rhetoric, and then the performance," he said.ELON MUSK CONNECTS WITH INDIE ANDREW YANG ON BILLIONAIRE FORMER TRUMP ALLY'S THIRD PARTY PUSHHe explained that he does not believe "electing a few better people" will alter the "trajectory" on the debt issue.DeSantis said that the "incentives" in D.C. will "lead to these outcomes, really, regardless of the outcome of elections at this point," asserting that a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution is needed.TRUMP SAYS HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH ONE-TIME RIVAL DESANTIS NOW A 9.9Musk "would have a monumental impact" if he got involved, DeSantis said, adding that the U.S. also needs term limits for lawmakers.

President Donald Trump on Monday said that his administration would be sending defensive weapons to Ukraine so the war-torn country could defend itself from Russias ongoing invasion, an apparent turnaround after the Pentagon said last week it was pausing such deliveries.His comments came as Russian attacks on Ukraine killed at least 11 civilians and injured more than 80 others, including seven children, officials said Monday."We have to," Trump said when questioned at the start of a dinner he was hosting at the White House for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "They have to be able to defend themselves. Theyre getting hit very hard now. We're going to send some more weapons defensive weapons primarily."PENTAGON HALTS SOME WEAPONS SHIPMENTS TO UKRAINE OVER CONCERNS ABOUT US STOCKPILESRussia continues to advance and now currently controls just under a fifth of Ukrainian territory, including Crimea, all of Luhansk, the lion's share of three other regions and slivers of three additional regions.Trump's repeated efforts to broker a ceasefire have not been successful, and the president continued to vent his frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who continues to escalate military actions."I'm not happy with President Putin at all," Trump said.The Defense Department later said it wouldsendadditional defensiveweaponstoUkraineatTrump's direction, to ensure the Ukrainians can defend themselves while efforts continue to secure a lasting peace."Our framework for POTUS to evaluate military shipments across the globe remains in effect and is integral to our America First defense priorities," Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said.Ukrainehas been asking Washington to sell itmorePatriot missiles and systems that it sees as key to defending its cities from intensifying Russian air strikes.Last week the Pentagon frozesome shipments of critical weapons to Ukraine, including Patriot missile interceptors and 155 mm artillery shells, at a pivotal moment in Kyivs war with Russia, Fox News confirmed.

Obviously, the Europeans are actively involved in pumpingUkrainefull ofweapons," Peskov said, according to Reuters. "As for what kind of supplies and in what quantityUkrainecontinues to receive from the United States, it will still take time to clarify this definitively," he added.Peskov said that Moscow appreciatedTrump's efforts to initiate direct negotiations between Russia andUkraine, and that there was significant potential for restarting Russian-U.S. trade and economic relations.Separately, Russias transport ministerRoman Starovoit was found deadin what authorities said was an apparent suicide news that broke hours after the Kremlin announced he had been dismissed by Putin, per The Associated Press. Russian media have reported that his dismissal could have been linked to an investigation into the embezzlement of state funds allocated for building fortificationsin the Kursk region, where he served as governor before being appointed transportation minister.The firing of Starovoit followed a weekend of travel chaos airports grounded hundreds of flights due to the threat of drone attacks from Ukraine.

President Donald Trump is aiming to terminate birthright citizenship in the United States and the Supreme Courts recent decision to curb universal injunctions has brought him one step closer to accomplishing that mission.While changing the way the government gives citizenship to babies born in the United States is still an uphill climb, the high courts ruling raised the possibility that Trumps new policy to end automatic citizenship could, at least temporarily, take effect in some parts of the country.Lawyer Carrie Severino, president of the conservative legal advocacy group JCN, said it was unclear at this stage of litigation how Trumps policy would work logistically or to whom it would apply. The Supreme Court's decision, issued June 27, barred Trumps executive order from becoming active for 30 days."Normally, if you give birth at the hospital, they just automatically issue everyone a Social Security number," Severino told Fox News Digital. "Now the question isn't open and shut like that."SCOTUS RULES ON TRUMP'S BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP ORDER, TESTING LOWER COURT POWERSThe Supreme Courts decision arose from various Democratic-led states and immigration rights groups bringing several lawsuits across the country challenging Trumps executive order, which the president signed shortly after he took office.The order dramatically changed the scope of birthright citizenship, which is outlined under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution and allows babies born to noncitizens in the United States to automatically receive U.S. citizenship in most cases.Courts uniformly rejected Trumps policy and blocked it by issuing universal injunctions that applied to the whole country and not just certain pregnant noncitizens being represented in court.Seattle-based federal Judge John Coughenour, a Reagan appointee, chastised government attorneys during a February hearing over the matter."It has become ever more apparent that to our president, the rule of law is but an impediment to his policy goals," the judge said. "The rule of law is, according to him, something to navigate around or simply ignore, whether that be for political or personal gain."Coughenour later said that if Trump wanted to change the "exceptional American grant of birthright citizenship," then the president would need to work with Congress to amend the Constitution, rather than attempt to redefine the amendment through an executive order.In the wake of the Supreme Court's order, courts and plaintiffs are moving quickly to adapt and, in some cases, find workarounds before the 30-day deadline arrives.Within hours of the high court's decision, plaintiffs who brought a birthright citizenship lawsuit in Maryland asked a judge to change the lawsuit to a class action proceeding that covers all babies who will be born after Trumps executive order takes effect.The request was one of what is quickly becoming a manifold of court requests that are testing the Supreme Courts injunction decision and potentially undercutting it.The Supreme Courts decision left intact the ability for judges, if they see fit, to use class action lawsuits or statewide lawsuits to hand down sweeping orders blocking Trumps policies from applying to wide swaths of people.SUPREME COURT TAKES ON BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP: LIBERALS BALK AT TRUMP ARGUMENT TO END NATIONWIDE INJUNCTIONS"The bottom line is that the Trump administration has the right to carry this order out nationwide, except where a court has stayed it as to parties actually involved in a lawsuit challenging it," Severino said.American Immigration Councils Michelle Lapointe wrote online there was a "real possibility" that if the judges overseeing the current lawsuits do not find a way in the next few weeks to issue broad injunctions blocking birthright citizenship, then some states might see the policy take effect."That raises the risk of babies born in certain parts of the United States being fully stripped of their rights as U.S. citizens, perhaps even rendering them stateless," Lapointe wrote. "The human cost of such an action is unconscionable."Regardless of what happens in the coming weeks and months, the underlying merits of Trumps birthright citizenship policy are on track to end up at the Supreme Court.The justices were able to avoid touching the substance of Trump's argument by merely considering the constitutionality of universal injunctions during this last go-round, but the next time a birthright citizenship lawsuit comes before them, they are likely to have to weigh in on whether Trump's policy is constitutional.100 DAYS OF INJUNCTIONS, TRIALS AND 'TEFLON DON': TRUMP SECOND TERM MEETS ITS BIGGEST TESTS IN COURTSeverino said she believed the six Republican-appointed justices would rely heavily on "history and tradition" and "what the words were understood to mean in 1868 when the 14th Amendment was passed.""It's a challenging issue, in part because our immigration system looks so dramatically different now than it did at the time of the 14th Amendment, because the sort of immigration we're looking at was not really on their radar, nor was the type of entitlement state that we are living in," Severino said.Michael Moreland, Villanova University law school professor, told Fox News Digital there has long been an academic debate about the language in the amendment. It states that babies born in the United States and "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" are citizens. The dispute, Moreland said, has centered on "how broadly or narrowly" to interpret that clause.The Trump administration has said that as part of its immigration crackdown, it wants to curtail abuse of the 14th Amendment, which can include foreigners traveling to the United States strictly to give birth with no intention of legally settling in the country. The amendment also incentivizes migrants to enter the country illegally to give birth and rewards pregnant women already living illegally in the country by imparting citizenship to their children, the administration has said.Judges, thus far, have found that Trump's policy is at odds with more than 150 years of precedent. The government has long given citizenship to any child born in the United States with few exceptions, such as babies born to foreign diplomats or foreign military members. "The balance of opinion for a long time has been on the side of saying that the 14th Amendment does have a right of birthright citizenship," Moreland said.
