FIRST ON FOX: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) andSecretary Kristi Noem announced Thursday the cancellation of $18.5 million in taxpayer-funded grants for the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3).The grants were designated by the Biden administration to provide taxpayer funds to various organizations that DHS says are "ideologically driven programs" promotingdiversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and LGBTQ agendas."These cancellations reflect DHSs commitment to fiscal responsibility and national security," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital.ASSAULTS ON ICE OFFICERS SURGE 830% AS DEMOCRATS CAUGHT 'DOXING AND PHYSICALLY ASSAULTING' AGENTS: DHS"By eliminating wasteful and ideologically driven programs, we are redirecting resources to initiatives that uphold American values, respect the rule of law and effectively combat terrorism and violence."Some of the cuts include $851,836 to the Eradicate Hate Global Summit, which DHS refers to as a DEI organization, and $209,407 to the Supporting and Mentoring Youth Advocates and Leaders group, which DHS says promotes radical gender ideology learning to K-12 students while targeting kids as young as kindergarten.CP3, which replaced the Office of Targeted Violence andTerrorism Prevention in 2021, was originally designed to be a division within DHS with a mission of strengthening the nations ability to prevent targeted violence and terrorism through being guided by public health principles.KRISTI NOEM CLASHES WITH NBC ANCHOR OVER 'INHUMANE' CONDITIONS AT ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ IN TESTY EXCHANGEHowever, the Biden administration, whichonce touted its commitment to DEI principles, directed the grants toward the controversial organizations.This is not the first time DHS has made major spending cuts to radical programs.Last month, Fox News Digital reported the agency uncovered and killed $1.5 million in additional Biden-era taxpayer-funded grants that went toward similar organizations.The DOGE-like approach will allow DHS to divert taxpayer funds within the agency, and a spokesperson said the money "will be redirected to efforts that actually protect the American people."

The Department of Justice on Thursday issued requests to sheriffs in multiple large California countiesincluding Los Angeles and San Francisco countiesfor lists of all inmates in their jails who are not citizens of the United States.The requests also include the illegal immigrant's charges or conviction, and their scheduled release dates, according to a news release from the DOJ's Office of Public Affairs."In recent years, the United States suffered an invasion of illegal aliens at an unprecedented scale," officials wrote in the release. "Far too many of those illegal aliens have gone on to commit crimes on American soil, including rapes, murders, and other violent crimes.Todays data requests are designed to assist federal immigration authorities in prioritizing the removal of illegal aliens who committed crimes after illegally entering the United States."Although every illegal immigrant by definition has violated federal law, the DOJ said those who go on to commit crimes after coming into the country illegally pose a heightened risk to the nations safety and security.TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SUES LOS ANGELES OVER SANCTUARY POLICIES THAT 'IMPEDE' ICE OPERATIONS"Removing criminal illegal aliens is this Administrations highest priority," Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote in the release. "I look forward to cooperating with Californias county sheriffs to accomplish our shared duty of keeping Californians and all Americans safe and secure."The DOJ said it "hopes" California sheriffs will voluntarily produce the requested information, but if necessary, the department will "pursue all available means of obtaining the data, including through subpoenas or other compulsory process."DOJ SLAMS NEWSOM'S 'CRASS POLITICAL STUNT' OVER TRUMP'S CALL-UP OF NATIONAL GUARD AMID LA ANTI-ICE RIOTSThe requests come weeks after Border Czar Tom Homan, on Fox News' "Kudlow," vowed to "double down and triple down" on sanctuary cities that are obstructing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations."President [Donald] Trump made it clear two weeks ago, we are going to double down and triple down the sanctuary cities," Homan said. "If we can't arrest that bad guy in the jail, then we'll go to the community and we'll find him."Multiple lawsuits have been filed by the state against the Trump administration regarding immigration enforcement.Most recently, the administration filed a request with the courts to suspend a temporary restraining order that was issued Friday against ICE after a Biden-appointed judge ruled the agency likely violated constitutional protections during raids in Los Angeles.Fox News Digital's Greg Wehner and Fox News' Matt Finn contributed to this report.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., called out the Democratic Party in an interview on Thursday for being "scared" to offend immigration groups as they navigate the issue."The Republicans are fomenting anti-immigrant hate as a policy and a strategy, and Democrats are so scared of offending either immigration groups or people to the left of them maybe theyre in a primary, they are concerned about saying: No, not everyone gets to be here. Not everyone has the right to live in the United States, and we, like every other country in the world, get to know who and what is coming across our borders," Slotkin told The New York Times in an interview.Slotkin argued that most Americans agree that immigrants are integral to the American economy, but they want immigrants to come here legally and through "vetted channels.""That kind of clamping down with rules tends to make a lot of my Democratic colleagues really nervous," she added.TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SUES LOS ANGELES OVER SANCTUARY POLICIES THAT 'IMPEDE' ICE OPERATIONS"Theres been a lot of ink spilled about advocacy groups that dont seem to represent a lot of voters. We saw that in real time in this last election, when no one had a bigger swing toward Trump than Latinos. Some of these groups were trotting around Washington saying they represent the immigrant community, and they clearly did not," Slotkin said.Slotkin also said she thought Democrats had lost their "alpha-energy."The Michigan senator said "alpha-energy" was about emotion.'WOULD HAVE LOST US THE COLD WAR': SLOTKIN BLASTS TRUMPS FOREIGN POLICY IN RESPONSE TO CONGRESS ADDRESS"We respond to peoples pain with a long list of wonky policies," Slotkin continued. "Alpha energy is synonymous with being bold. Call the tough play, take a risk, be bold. And dont be so damn scared of your own shadow."Slotkin delivered the official response to President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress in March.She criticized Trump's foreign policy and called for "responsible" ways to make changes to the government."We all want an end to the war in Ukraine, but Reagan understood that true strength required America to combine our military and economic might with moral clarity," Slotkin said after Trump's address. "As a Cold War kid, Im thankful it was Reagan and not Trump in office in the 1980s. Trump would have lost us the Cold War."

A Mexican illegal alien living in Los Angeles was charged with orchestrating her own fake ICE "kidnapping" to generate sympathy and solicit donations, the Justice Department announced Thursday.Yuriana Julia Pelaez Calderon, 41, a resident of South Los Angeles, was charged with conspiracy and making false statements to federal officers, the DOJ said.Calderon had been living in the U.S. based on a federal law enforcement parole that expired in 2023. She is in federal custody after she allegedly faked her kidnapping.This comes after local outlet KTLA reported on a news conference held by Calderons "loved ones and attorneys," who claimed she had been "kidnapped" by uniformed men in unmarked cars June 25.TRUMP'S IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN IN LA IGNITES 'SAME EMOTIONAL NOTES' FOR DEMS, TOP LOCAL GOP LEADER SAYSThe outlet reported that a woman identified as an attorney named Stephano Medina claimed Calderon was cornered in a Jack in the Box parking lot in Los Angeles by men who did not identify themselves but were possibly bounty hunters. Medina claimed Calderon was taken to the border and presented to an "ICE staffer," who demanded she sign self-deportation paperwork.Medina said that when Calderon refused to sign the paperwork, she was taken to a warehouse until she agreed to sign the document.Fox News Digital obtained a copy of the criminal complaint against Calderon, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. An affidavit filed with the complaint alleges that Calderon and others "planned a hoax kidnapping" for their benefit, "including their own pecuniary gain."The affidavit said that Calderons daughter set up a GoFundMe page to raise $4,500 after her mother was "taken by masked men in an unmarked vehicle."ICE MASK DEBATE HEATS UP AS DOXXING AND AGENT ASSAULTS SURGEThe daughter filed a missing person report with the Los Angeles Police Department, which notified Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) of Calderons supposed kidnapping.HSI determined Calderon was not in DHS custody and, out of concern for her safety, the agency launched its own investigation to find her. During the investigation, HSI noticed several irregularities, including that the phone calls to loved ones that Calderon had supposedly made via borrowed phones were made from her cell phone, intentionally masked to appear as an unknown number.According to the affidavit, video surveillance of Calderons alleged forced abduction further showed her calmly leaving the Jack in the Box parking lot and getting into a nearby sedan. Despite the video showing a marked LAPD car in the vicinity, Calderon did not make any attempts to alert officers that she was in danger.The affidavit states that "when confronted with true information that contradicted their kidnapping story," Calderon and others lied to federal agents and "attempted to thwart law enforcement efforts" by keeping her whereabouts from law enforcement.FEDS CHARGE 3 MORE MEN IN MARYLAND MS-13 RACKETEERING CONSPIRACY INVOLVING MURDER: 'REIGN OF TERROR'According to a DOJ statement, HSI agents tracked Calderon down July 5 in a shopping plaza parking lot in Bakersfield, California. The statement said Calderon continued to claim she was taken by masked men and held in custody with others.She is in U.S. immigration custody and is facing a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison for conspiracy and up to five years for false statements if convicted of the charges.Commenting on the charges, U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli thanked HSI and "all federal agents facing unprecedented levels of assaults" for "providing cool heads and professionalism during these difficult times."Essayli said "dangerous rhetoric that ICE agents are kidnapping illegal immigrants is being recklessly peddled by politicians and echoed in the media to inflame the public and discredit our courageous federal agents."ILLEGAL MIGRANT ENTERS PLEA IN CRASH THAT KILLED BOY ONE DAY BEFORE HIS 12TH BIRTHDAYHSI Los Angeles Special Agent in Charge Eddy Wang also decried the scheme, saying, "My office invested valuable time and resources working this alleged kidnapping investigation only to discover that it was a hoax.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"Diverting critical law enforcement resources is not only reckless and irresponsible, but it also endangers the community," Wang added. "The real cost of a fraud like this is the amount of fentanyl not seized, child predators not removed from the communities and human trafficking victims not rescued because law enforcement redirected resources to recover the defendant."We want to assure the public that allegations of criminal activity will be thoroughly investigated by HSI and our law enforcement partners and that those who engage in fraud and deception will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said the United States does not support recent Israeli airstrikes on Syria and called for "dialogue" between the two Middle East powers."The United States unequivocally condemns the violence. All parties must step back and engage in meaningful dialogue that leads to a lasting ceasefire," Bruce announced at a State Department press briefing Thursday afternoon.WHY SYRIA PLAYS A KEY ROLE IN TRUMPS PLANS FOR MIDDLE EAST PEACEOn Wednesday, Israeli airstrikes in the Syrian capital of Damascus struck the country's Defense Ministry headquarters and an area near the presidential palace, killing three and injuring dozens of others, according to reports.The Israeli military said it was intervening to defend the minority Druze population in southern Syria, a community that shares a border with Israel, amid armed skirmishes between local Bedouin Sunni tribes and the recently installed Syrian government."We are acting decisively to prevent the entrenchment of hostile elements beyond the border, protect Israeli citizens and prevent harm to Druze civilians," Eyal Zamir, chief of the Israeli Defense Forces' general staff, said during a situational assessment at the Syrian border.Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Wednesday afternoon that an agreement had been reached between Israel and Syria to end the "troubling and horrifying situation.""This will require all parties to deliver on the commitments they have made, and this is what we fully expect them to do," he added.TRUMPS PUSH FOR ISRAEL-SYRIA PEACE GETS MAJOR BACKING AS ACTIVIST BRINGS MESSAGE TO JERUSALEM"Thankful to all sides for their break from chaos and confusion as we attempt to navigate all parties to a more durable and peaceful solution in Syria," U.S. Special Envoy to Syria Tom Barrack added.When asked Thursday what prompted the Israeli strikes and whether the U.S. suspected any foreign fighters, like ISIS, of being involved in the conflict in Syria between the Bedouins and the Druze, Bruce said there will need to be continued investigation to figure out exactly why this Israeli airstrike occurred.Rubio said Wednesday he believed Israels strike on the Syrian capital of Damascus was "likely" due to "a misunderstanding."Bruce on Thursday responded to reporters' questions about what U.S. officials meant when they said "confusion" and "misunderstanding" from Israel were what led to their involvement."This is an ancient rivalry between the Druze and the Bedouins and violence ensued, the Syrians moving to that area to quell and stop that violence. And the Israelis, who see that occurring to the Druze community and their concerns, then entered what they assessed was something larger than what, or even not what it was at all," Bruce said at Thursday's briefing."The good news is, the story is, it stopped, as within the management of that larger conflict. Again, there's still skirmishes and other issues. The Syrian government is going to have to lead obviously, there will be other involvement but lead in to this de-escalation and to the stability."

CBS' "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" will be ending in 2026, the network announced."'THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT' will end its historic run in May 2026 at the end of the broadcast season," CBS said in a statement Thursday. "We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire 'THE LATE SHOW' franchise at that time. We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television.""I found out just last night, next year will be our last season," host Stephen Colbert told his studio audience. "The network will be ending The Late Show in May.""It's not just the end of our show, but it's the end of the late show on CBS. I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away," Colbert continued.CBS said it was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night," adding "It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.""The Late Show," which Colbert took over in 2015, leaned into liberal politics in the Trump era and had became a major platform for Democratic politicians. Last month, Colbert welcomed New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani before the socialist hopeful clinched the Democratic nomination.There had been speculation about the future of the Paramount-owned late-night programs, which also include "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central, as its planned corporate merger with Skydance Media is expected to take place later this year.This is a developing story.

Despite some claiming they spent money out of their own pockets, several Democrats spent thousands in campaign funds to visit illegal alien and alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador, according to reporting by the New York Post.Democrats rallied around Abrego Garcia after they claimed he was wrongly deported by the Trump administration to his home country of El Salvador in March.Several Democrats, including representatives Maxwell Frost, D-Fla.; Robert Garcia, D-Calif., Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., Maxine Dexter, D-Ore.; and Glenn Ivey, D-Md., flew to El Salvador to advocate for Abrego Garcias return.The New York Post reported that Frost, Garcia, Ansari and Dexter, all of whom made a joint trip to San Salvador to pressure the Trump administration to return Abrego Garcia April 21, paid for the trip through campaign funding, despite all except Garcia claiming they paid out of pocket.TRUMP'S IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN IN LA IGNITES 'SAME EMOTIONAL NOTES' FOR DEMS, TOP LOCAL GOP LEADER SAYSThe New York Post wrote that Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings show Frosts campaign reported spending $1,362 on Salvadoran-Colombian airline Avianca May 8, about a week after his trip to visit Abrego Garcia.Dexters campaign similarly reportedly spent $1,315 on travel with Taca Airlines April 18, despite the representative saying he had self-funded the trip.Despite telling a local news outlet she had used her own money for the trip, Ansaris campaign reported in FEC filings that the congresswoman spent $2,616 on travel with Salvadoran airline Avianca the same month she flew to visit Abrego Garcia.Meanwhile, California Democrat Garcias office confirmed he spent $1,982 on another Salvadoran airline, Taca International Airlines, in April, and an additional $502 for "event space rental" at the Hilton San Salvador, the outlet reported.FEDS CHARGE 3 MORE MEN IN MARYLAND MS-13 RACKETEERING CONSPIRACY INVOLVING MURDER: 'REIGN OF TERROR'Ivey, who attempted to visit Abrego Garcia in late May, spent $291 in campaign funds, according to the Post report.Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., the first Democrat to make the trip and who remained an outspoken voice on Abrego Garcias behalf, notably did not report any campaign spending for Salvadoran air travel or lodging in mid-April, when he made his trip.Abrego Garcia, who was returned to the U.S. in June, faces charges of human smuggling and conspiracy.MEXICAN WOMAN IN US ILLEGALLY CHARGED WITH FAKING HER OWN ICE KIDNAPPINGAccording to an indictment, Abrego Garcia played a "significant role" in a human smuggling ring operating for nearly a decade. Attorney General Pam Bondi described him as a full-time smuggler who made more than 100 trips, transporting women, children and MS-13 gang-affiliated persons throughout the U.S.According to police and court records shared with Fox News Digital, Abrego Garcia was arrested in Hyattsville in October 2019, at which point he was identified by the Prince George's County [Maryland] Police Gang Unit as a member of MS-13.

Radio host Charlamagne tha God clashed Thursday with former CNN commentator Angela Rye over whether former President Joe Biden suffers from dementia and if the alleged cover-upof his decline cost Democrats the election.Charlamagne asked his progressive guest what she thought about Democrats who "all of a sudden have the courage to tell the truth," referencing former Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's party switch and CNN anchor Jake Tapper's book "Original Sin" which detailed how Biden's inner circle covered up his limitations in office."Why all of a sudden do they have the courage to speak truth to power when they didnt do that two to three years ago?" he asked on "The Breakfast Club.""Im trying to figure out why you think it's all of a sudden,'" Rye replied.CHARLAMAGNE KNOCKS JEAN-PIERRE'S BOOK, SAYS 'NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR' FROM PERSON WHO 'LIED' FOR BIDEN ADMINCHARLAMAGNE SAYS SWALWELL SHOULD CUT IT THE F--- OUT WITH CLAIM HE DIDN'T KNOW OF BIDEN'S DECLINE"It definitely is all of a sudden. Cmon, Angela Rye!" Charlamagne shot back.Rye went on to suggest that expos books are nothing new and Tapper's is just "the latest" examples.But Charlamagne continued to press his guest, arguing that the scandal over Biden's health likely led to the partys election loss."Why tell us after it's too late? Why didn't they say these things two years ago when they could have alerted the American people and the American people could have been like, 'You know what? Something is wrong with him. Maybe y'all shouldn't run a different candidate.' Then we probably wouldn't be in this situation," he insisted."I don't know if I believe that," Rye replied. "I think that the lie was sexier to people than the truth and they went with the lie," she added, referring to Trump winning the November election."Hold on," Charlamagne pushed back. "So the lie wasn't Joe Biden is okay?"Charlamagne recounted how Rye blew up at "Breakfast Club" co-host DJ Envy in 2023 after he suggested Biden had dementia.Rye explained she was offended because her grandmother was suffering from dementia."He still doesn't have dementia. He does not have dementia," she said of Biden.CREDIBILITY CRISIS: KARINE JEAN-PIERRE'S DEFENSE OF BIDEN'S MENTAL FITNESS OVER THE YEARSRye went on to defend Jean-Pierre and suggested she was treated poorly in the White House by colleagues because of her race."Now as for what Karine is doing and Jake, invite them on the show and ask them. I don't know. But what I can tell you is Karine had her own experience of being regularly challenged, her brilliance being challenged, by White men who she was supposed to be sharing-," Rye said."She had to lie for that White man every - all the time," Charlamagne cut in.Rye said she wasn't talking about Biden but about "staff people as well" in the White House."When you are being challenged by your peers rather than covered because they don't want you in a role, that may jade you just a little bit. You might be a little frustrated by that. So, I mean, I get it," she said.Jean-Pierre was one of his most outspoken allies who defended his mental and physical fitness for office going back to 2022. She announced in June that she was leaving the Democratic Party to become an independent. She also revealed an upcoming book, "Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines."Rye is one of several liberal media figures pushing the idea that President Donald Trump and the Republicans are planning to steal the 2026 midterm election.A spokesperson for Biden did not return Fox News Digital's request for comment.
