As Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem clashed with Democrat lawmakers on Thursday over the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were continuing to arrest illegals convicted of horrific crimes.
Noem testified before the House Homeland Security Committee on Thursday, where she was heckled by anti-ICE protesters and questioned by lawmakers about security threats facing the United States. While she was being protested, ICE was picking up illegals convicted of sex crimes and other violent charges, DHS told The Daily Wire.
“Some of the disgusting animals arrested yesterday sexually abused children and disabled victims,” a Department of Homeland Security spokesman told The Daily Wire. “Sanctuary politicians protect these criminal illegal aliens and allow them to terrorize the citizens of this country. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, we are prioritizing AMERICAN CITIZENS. We are getting the worst of the worst out of our neighborhoods and out of our country.”
According to DHS, those arrested included:
<blockquote>-Carlos Gomez-Diaz, an illegal alien from Mexico convicted on three counts of felony second-degree sexual exploitation of a child in Wake County, North Carolina.
-Rose Stanley, an illegal alien from Liberia convicted of sexual assault of a disabled/helpless victim in Somerset, New Jersey.
-Oswaldo Antonio Hollman, an illegal alien from El Salvador convicted of possession of child pornography in Laredo, Texas.
-Alonso Maciel Guadalupe, an illegal alien from Mexico convicted of manslaughter in El Paso County, Texas.
-Mauro Humberto Lopez-Aleman, an illegal alien from Cuba convicted of arson-business in San Juan, Puerto Rico.</blockquote>

On Monday, DHS launched a new searchable “worst of the worst” website to showcase at least 10,000 illegal aliens nabbed as part of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.
“This new Worst of the Worst webpage allows every American to see for themselves the criminal illegal aliens that we are arresting, what crimes they committed, and what communities we removed them from. This is all about transparency and showing results,” Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said.

Here Are The Illegals Arrested As Anti-ICE Protesters Disrupted Noem’s Testimony

President Donald Trump took aim at two major financial firms he said were pushing racial quotas and climate activism onto American companies in an executive order on Thursday. 
The executive order accused the proxy advisor firms of Institutional Shareholder Services and Glass Lewis of pushing leftist politics into the shareholder voting process. Both companies control over 90% of the market for proxy advising in the United States and advise powerful clients on how to vote on shareholder proposals on things ranging from climate policy to board composition. 
“These proxy advisors regularly use their substantial power to advance and prioritize radical politically-motivated agendas — like ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ and ‘environmental, social, and governance’ — even though investor returns should be the only priority,” Trump wrote in his <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/12/protecting-american-investors-from-foreign-owned-and-politically-motivated-proxy-advisors/">executive order</a>. “For example, these proxy advisors have supported shareholder proposals requiring American companies to conduct racial equity audits and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and one continues to provide guidance based on the racial or ethnic diversity of corporate boards.”
Glass Lewis has provided <a href="https://perma.cc/9JFW-HKEM">guidelines</a> recommending against boards with fewer than one member of “an underrepresented community.” It defines “underrepresented” as non-white people or sexual minorities. It will also generally recommend against a board “that fails to provide explicit disclosure concerning the board’s role in overseeing [climate change] issues.”
ISS has adopted similar <a href="https://perma.cc/N9TG-B7X9">guidelines</a>, noting that it will generally vote against companies with no women on the board, against boards with no racial or ethnic diversity, and vote against companies it says have not taken “minimum steps” to address “climate change” risks. 
“Their practices also raise significant concerns about conflicts of interest and the quality of their recommendations, among other concerns,” Trump wrote. “The United States must therefore increase oversight of and take action to restore public confidence in the proxy advisor industry, including by promoting accountability, transparency, and competition.”

The executive order directed the chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission to review all regulations related to proxy advisors and DEI mandates and directed the chair of the Federal Trade Commission to join state investigations into whether proxy advisors were violating unfair trade practices. It also calls for the attorney general and the secretary of labor to investigate the influence of proxy advising. 
Last month, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-florida-sues-major-financial-firms-over-dei-and-esg-push">filed a lawsuit</a> against ISS and Glass Lewis, accusing them of violating Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and state antitrust laws. Both firms <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/regulation/proxy-advisers-iss-and-glass-lewis-are-facing-antitrust-probes-22f0ff38?gaa_at=eafs&amp;gaa_n=AWEtsqc1i9ZlMDA8f3aZJiR2l7fRxLMEzpcyYRtsfyc4o8X1sQlk3u_hSRE9vvDqiKE%3D&amp;gaa_ts=691f1ec8&amp;gaa_sig=xwAM0c1b63ROAM2TrL-DyCp8Kzu_81NHpUXhlHCKKdp1uc0l_r4sb2vXNv1yUslNLkGqWHiK6ScdxjQHeJ7Tgw%3D%3D">are currently</a> under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission over how they direct clients on social and climate issues. 
In August 2023, the House Judiciary Committee launched an <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/letters.pdf">investigation</a> into ISS and Glass Lewis, probing their partnerships with climate activist groups and their push to “decarbonize” corporations.

Trump Targets Two Financial Firms Over DEI And ESG Push

Democrat Governor JB Pritzker signed legislation on Friday that conservative advocates say will turn Illinois into a hub for “suicide tourism.” 
The <a href="https://ilga.gov/Legislation/BillStatus?GAID=18&amp;DocNum=1950&amp;DocTypeID=SB&amp;LegId=161335&amp;SessionID=114">new law</a> allows doctors to prescribe lethal drugs to end the lives of those who are terminally ill and have been given a prognosis of less than six months to live. The bill had been sitting on his desk for over a month after Democrat lawmakers in the state Senate passed the measure a few hours after midnight on Halloween in a 30-27 vote. 
“I have been deeply impacted by the stories of Illinoisans or their loved ones that have suffered from a devastating terminal illness, and I have been moved by their dedication to standing up for freedom and choice at the end of life in the midst of personal heartbreak,” Pritzker said in a <a href="https://gov-pritzker-newsroom.prezly.com/s/0f091ea3-1845-4a06-a5eb-8f487c594841?preview">statement</a> after signing the legislation. 
Conservatives fear that the law will force doctors to promote and make referrals for the deadly practice. It would also bar Christian hospitals from firing doctors or employees who perform assisted suicides. The Thomas More Society, which <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/beyond-the-pale-jb-pritzker-could-soon-make-illinois-a-hub-for-suicide-tourism">previously told</a> The Daily Wire that it would sue to block the law if signed, lamented the news. 
“This is a dark and sorrowful day for Illinois. When the state signals that some lives are no longer worth living, the most vulnerable pay the price,” said Thomas Olp, the executive vice president at Thomas More Society. “Instead of offering true compassion, support, and care, this law offers a fatal prescription. That is not mercy. It is abandonment.” 
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible c-link--underline" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
The Thomas More Society said that the law would put the elderly, disabled, and vulnerable at risk and jeopardize the religious liberty of Christian doctors. 
“By legalizing physician-assisted suicide, the Land of Lincoln has crossed a profound moral and legal red line. As signed into law, this fatal misstep places vulnerable lives at risk, tramples the inherent dignity of human life, and erodes the foundational conscience rights of medical professionals and religious medical practices.” 
Illinois becomes the 12th state to legalize assisted suicide, and is the first Midwest state to do so. Thomas More Society Head of Litigation Peter Breen previously told The Daily Wire that “There’s a significant concern that this is going to turn Illinois into a suicide tourism state.”

A Moral ‘Red Line’: Pritzker Signs Bill That Could Make Illinois A Hub For ‘Suicide Tourism’

The executive director of a Black Lives Matter chapter in Oklahoma has been accused of using donor funds to go toward expensive vacations and purchasing rental properties. 
The Justice Department <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdok/pr/executive-director-black-lives-matter-okc-charged-wire-fraud-and-money-laundering">filed charges</a> against Black Lives Matter Oklahoma City executive director Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson last week for wire fraud and money laundering, an unsealed indictment revealed on Thursday. According to the indictment, Dickerson embezzled at least $3.15 million in donor funds for her personal benefit.  
The indictment alleges that Dickerson “knowingly devised, intended to devise, and executed a scheme and artifice to defraud [Black Lives Matter OKC] and its donors in a material manner and to obtain money from [Black Lives Matter OKC] and its donors by means of materially false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises.”
Dickerson allegedly used donations given to her organization to purchase a 2021 Hyundai Palisade, multiple rental properties, food and grocery deliveries, and fund international vacations. 
The vacations include trips for her and associates to the Dominican Republic in July 2021, and to Jamaica in December 2021 and January 2022, the indictment says. She also allegedly spent tens of thousands of dollars shopping at Nordstrom Rack, Macy&#8217;s, Amazon, Best Buy, and Bob Mills Furniture. Additionally, she allegedly spent at least $50,000 on food and grocery deliveries (including DoorDash and Instacart) for herself and her children.
The alleged fraud took place between June 2020 and up until October 2025, the Justice Department said. 
Much of the donations to Black Lives Matter OKC came through the Alliance for Global Justice, a leftist nonprofit based in Arizona. They routed funds from other groups like the Community Justice Exchange, Massachusetts Bail Fund, and Minnesota Freedom Fund to Black Lives Matter OKC, according to the Justice Department. 
The funds were supposed to go toward the pretrial bail for individuals arrested in the riots that took place after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Dickerson allegedly submitted false reports to the Alliance for Global Justice about how the money was being used and covered up how she was using them. 
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible c-link--underline" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
She faces 20 counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering. If convicted, she could face decades in prison and hundreds of thousands in fines. The case was investigated by the FBI Oklahoma City Field Office and IRS-Criminal Investigation.
Black Lives Matter OKC <a href="https://www.blmokc.com">describes</a> itself as an &#8220;extension&#8221; of the &#8220;global BLM movement&#8221; and says that it exists to &#8220;eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene against violence inflicted on Black communities.&#8221;

BLM Leader Accused Of Stealing Millions In Donor Funds To Spend On Vacations And Shopping Sprees

President Donald Trump took action on Thursday to limit state-level regulations on artificial intelligence (AI) and create a new national framework, saying that the United States was in a race with China to develop the best technology. 
Trump signed an executive order directing his administration to challenge “onerous and excessive” AI regulations issued by states. The order also directed his administration to begin developing a national framework for AI. 
“One of the things it has is you have to have a central source of approval. When they need approval of things, you have to come to one source; they can&#8217;t go to California, New York, and various other places,” Trump said as he signed the executive order. 
“To win, United States AI companies must be free to innovate without cumbersome regulation. But excessive State regulation thwarts this imperative,&#8221; the executive order said. &#8220;State-by-State regulation by definition creates a patchwork of 50 different regulatory regimes that makes compliance more challenging, particularly for start-ups.&#8221;
The order added that the Trump administration was concerned about states’ embedding ideological bias into their models and unconstitutionally regulating interstate commerce. 
“My Administration must act with the Congress to ensure that there is a minimally burdensome national standard — not 50 discordant State ones. The resulting framework must forbid State laws that conflict with the policy set forth in this order,” the order added. &#8220;That framework should also ensure that children are protected, censorship is prevented, copyrights are respected, and communities are safeguarded.&#8221;
The order establishes an AI litigation task force to challenge state laws deemed overly burdensome, directs Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick to evaluate all state AI laws, and proposes restrictions on federal funding if states enact certain policies. 
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible c-link--underline" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
More than 1,000 bills have been introduced in state legislatures addressing AI, which the Trump administration said could disrupt the race with China for technological development.  
The signing of the executive order was attended by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, AI and crypto czar David Sacks, and Lutnick. Sacks noted that the Trump administration would not push back against states that have passed laws protecting child safety. 
Trump signed an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-signs-order-launching-manhattan-project-for-artificial-intelligence">executive order</a> last month creating a “national effort” to integrate AI into research and accelerate innovation and scientific discovery. The initiative, known as the &#8220;Genesis Mission,&#8221; focuses on developing an AI model to accelerate scientific discovery.

Trump Pushes Back On ‘Excessive’ AI Regulations, Blocks State Overreach

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has expanded a 2024 lawsuit based on new evidence that accuses two doctors of lying to healthcare providers about prescribing transgender procedures on kids in defiance of state law.
Paxton <a href="https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/attorney-general-paxton-files-landmark-healthcare-fraud-lawsuit-against-doctors-who-illegally-forced">announced</a> additional allegations on Wednesday against two doctors, May Lau and M. Brett Cooper, over alleged healthcare fraud related to their prescription of transgender drugs to minors. Both Lau and Cooper had prescribed transgender drugs to dozens of kids in violation of state law, Paxton said.  
“What these radicals were doing was evil, and I will pursue every available legal tool to stop and punish this cruel child abuse,” Paxton said. “Any fraudulent scheme to steal hardworking Texans’ taxpayer dollars will be stopped and repaid in full. Under my watch, the transgender activists using their positions in the medical field to illegally ‘transition’ children will face the full force of the law.”
Paxton previously filed lawsuits against the doctors for allegedly prescribing the drugs. Last Friday, he added two Texas Health Care Program Fraud Prevention Act claims to the suits. His office described the suits as &#8220;first-of-their kind&#8221; medical fraud suits against doctors who performed transgender procedures on minors.
Paxton wants the doctors to repay the state three times what they billed for the procedures and to impose additional civil penalties. 
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible c-link--underline" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=christmas&amp;utm_content=christmassale25" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships</a>
In the most recent <a href="https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/files/images/press/Cooper.pdf">filing</a> against Cooper, Paxton said the Dallas-based doctor “engaged in false, misleading, and deceptive acts and practices to mislead pharmacies, insurance providers, and/or patients by falsifying medical records, prescriptions, and billing records to conceal that his treatments and prescriptions were for the purposes of transitioning a child’s biological sex or affirming a child’s belief that their gender identity is inconsistent with their biological sex.”
Cooper previously lamented the passage of legislation in Texas banning transgender procedures on kids, calling it a &#8220;sad day for Texans&#8221; and a decision driven by &#8220;political ideology.&#8221;
According to the filing, Cooper prescribed testosterone to teenage girls as young as 14-years-old. He then billed healthcare providers “something other than the purpose of transitioning their biological sex or affirming their belief that their gender identity is inconsistent with their biological sex,” the suit alleges. 
Lau is also <a href="https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/files/images/press/Lau.pdf">accused</a> of prescribing testosterone to teenage girls in defiance of state law. In October, Lau <a href="https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/radical-doctor-surrenders-medical-license-after-attorney-general-paxton-sued-her-prescribing">surrendered</a> her medical license amid the ongoing legal action. 
&#8220;Lau is a scofflaw who is putting the health and safety of minors at risk by prescribing testosterone, a controlled substance, to biological female minors and estrogen to a biological male minor for the purposes of transitioning their biological sex or affirming their belief that their gender identity is inconsistent with their biological sex,&#8221; the suit said.
In a statement to The Daily Wire, Lau&#8217;s legal team said that Paxton&#8217;s allegations were completely false.
&#8220;Ken Paxton’s latest press release is false in every material aspect,&#8221; they said. &#8220;It reflects only Paxton’s and his office’s continued effort to spread baseless lies and inflammatory rhetoric about Dr. Lau in an effort to taint the jury pool.  His team has failed to find facts to support his allegations against Dr. Lau and so attempts to cover up that failure with repeated amendments to his claims, of which this new amendment is only the latest misguided effort.&#8221;
Lau denied Paxton&#8217;s allegations and said she had complied with all federal and state law.
&#8220;Dr. Lau is a revered pediatrician who not only has provided life-saving and life-sustaining care to adolescents in North Texas and beyond but who also was named by D magazine as best adolescent medicine specialist in 2013-23 and 2025. Dr. Lau did not force any treatment on any of her patients and her care complied with Texas and federal law in every respect,&#8221; her legal team added. 
The doctors allegedly billed Texas Medicaid for the drugs by falsifying records, altering diagnosis codes, and submitting deceptive billing information.
This article has been updated with comment from Lau&#8217;s legal team.
