Federal agents just raided Ilhan Omar’s house in Washington DC over allegations that she became a US citizen via fraud. Could she actually be denaturalized and deported? The current focus on Ilhan Omar immigration status and private life has sparked a firestorm of speculation. Many are asking whether this is a genuine legal inquiry or if the Trump administration tactics are being employed to derail her campaign efforts. We examine the timing and the potential motivations behind these developments. Subscribe for weekly political analysis, and let me know in the comments: do you think these investigations change the outcome of the midterms? ------ There are big things happening at Blaze, and we'd love for you to join us.

For 50 years, British voters have said no to more immigration. It kept coming anyway. In this interview, Connor Tomlinson explains how Brexit was followed by an immigration wave that dwarfed Blair's, why young British men are increasingly pushing back, and why he believes the country has only one or two elections left to change course.

In under two weeks, French students went from asking for more teachers to setting fire to 24 high schools and sending more than 300 police officers to the hospital. French intelligence told the prime minister it was "an operation organised" by Jean-Luc Mélenchon's hard-left party, and one of that party's mayors told reporters "violence can be legitimate." A year after Emmanuel Macron recognized a Palestinian state for what he reportedly called domestic political reasons, the Palestinian flag is flying over school barricades even though Palestine isn't in a single student demand. In this episode, we connect the dots between France's immigration system, its Palestine gamble, and the Red-Green alliance between the radical left and political Islam. We also explain why the Arab world learned this lesson decades ago and Europe still hasn't. There are big things happening at Blaze, and we'd love for you to join us.

Brigette Gabriel knows the threat of Islamic conquest better than almost any American. She lived it from the time she was a small child until she finally escaped as a teenager. She eventually made it to the United States as a journalist. But it wasn’t until 9/11 that she had to explain to her young daughter, the same thing that her father had to explain to her that she became an activist and ardent defender of the United States against Islam.

Winston Marshall says politeness is killing Britain. In this interview, he walks through how the country got here — two London synagogues firebombed in a single month while the prime minister is "very reluctant" to say "Islamism," more immigration in 20 years than in the previous 2,000, grooming gangs he traces back to the 1950s — and why he believes a right-wing government coming in in 2029 would have just five years to deliver, because if it isn't done, "it's kind of over." His message to Americans: "If America falls, the Western project falls." There are big things happening at Blaze, and we'd love for you to join us.

Lora Ries says Biden's HHS lost track of 400,000 migrant children, and Congress still hasn't acted. In this interview, she walks through how America got here — a 1965 law that launched chain migration, an asylum system she calls "easy to defraud," a trafficking program that went from an estimated 600,000–800,000 victims to 27 million worldwide with only 5,000 convictions — and the specific bills she says Congress could pass right now.

Konstantin Kisin says Britain did something extreme — then called anyone who noticed an extremist. In this interview, the Soviet-born "Trigonometry" co-host walks through what that looked like — more people arriving in 11 years under Tony Blair than since 1066, a London he calls "completely unrecognizable" from the city he moved to in 1996, a welfare system that fits a Middle Eastern saying: If you want to work, go to America; if you want benefits, go to Europe — and why he believes you could deport every illegal immigrant "three times over" and still not fix a country whose GDP per capita is lower than it was 20 years ago. His argument isn't that Britain is lost; it's that the Shire has to be tended, and the people meant to protect it haven't. There are big things happening at Blaze, and we'd love for you to join us.

Mike Gonzalez says the "Hispanic" box on your census form was invented by bureaucrats in 1977. In this interview, the Cuban-born Heritage fellow walks through how activists turned the promise of a colorblind society on its head, a Census Bureau that fought the new category for years before giving up, a Ford Foundation study where Mexican Americans were offended to be asked if they felt like victims, an activist he says described her hardest job as convincing happy immigrants that America hates them — and why he believes the long march through the institutions now has to be run in reverse. Coming from an immigrant himself, his argument isn't against immigration; it's that America stopped asking immigrants to become American.

A woman strangles her three children — a five-year-old, a three-year-old, and an eight-month-old baby — with exercise bands in her basement. And right now, there is a national movement campaigning for her to walk free. Not “hoping she gets help.” Not “praying for the family.” Freeing her. Her name is Lindsay Clancy. The hashtags are #FreeLindsay and #FreeHer. And the question this case forces you to answer isn’t whether she’s guilty — she did it, and nobody disputes it — it’s why a society that would burn a father alive for the exact same crime is organizing to make a mother into a martyr. That answer has nothing to do with the law, and everything to do with how we’ve been trained to see women. Let me show you what’s actually happening in that courtroom.
