The GOP-led Senate moved early Thursday morning to pass a budget plan that would provide funding for the Department of Homeland Security and allocate another $70 billion for immigration enforcement for the remainder of President Trump&#8217;s time in office.
The proposal <a href="https://www.senate.gov/legislative/votes_new.htm">passed</a> the closely divided chamber 50-48, with Republicans backing the measure and Democrats voting in opposition. Republicans said that the measure, which now goes to the House, would help to secure the border. The passage means the resolution moves forward toward the reconciliation process, meaning Republicans can pass a funding bill without having to get past the filibuster.
“We have a multistep process ahead of us, but at the end, Republicans will have helped ensure that America’s borders are secure and prevented Democrats from defunding these important agencies,” said Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-ND).
Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) criticized Democrats for blocking funding for the Department of Homeland Security 16 times. The department has been defunded since February 14, 2026.
“Democrats are playing to the most radical members of their party.  Through their actions, Democrats are putting the safety and security of our nation behind the safety and security of their own political careers,” he said from the Senate floor.
Democrats tried to add a number of amendments to the proposal that they claimed would address the cost of housing, childcare, and health care.
“Instead of pumping hundreds of billions of dollars into ICE and Border Patrol, Republicans should be working with Democrats to lower out-of-pocket costs,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said.
A number of Republican-backed amendments also fell short after Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) and Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) sided with Democrats. Those senators voted against a proposal from Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) to cut off funding for Planned Parenthood.
&#8220;One recent study found that in three years alone, Planned Parenthood got a billion and a half dollars from Medicaid and Medicare.  Money to be used on these risky surgeries and [transgender] procedures for our children. This is wrong,” Hawley said. “This is a terrible misuse of federal funds, and we should put a stop to it today.”
Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC), Mitch McConnel (R-KY), Murkowski, and Collins and also <a href="https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1192/vote_119_2_00096.htm">voted</a> with Democrats to block an effort from Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) to attach the SAVE Act, which would require photo ID to vote in federal elections, to the proposal.

Secretary Markwayne Mullin warned Tuesday that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will run out of emergency cash by May, and said that Democrats must either agree to fund the department or explain why they want &#8220;open borders.&#8221;
President Donald Trump earlier approved emergency funds from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to pay Homeland Security personnel. More than two months into the DHS shutdown, that money is nearly gone.
&#8220;But that money is dried up if I continue down this path the first week of May,&#8221; Mullin said on Fox &amp; Friends Tuesday.

DHS is shelling out more than $1.6 billion to pay its workforce every two weeks, the new secretary said, adding, &#8220;so the money is going extremely fast.&#8221;
&#8220;After we get through April, which I got two more weeks,&#8221; Mullin said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve got one payroll left, and there is no emergency funds, so the president can&#8217;t do another executive order for us to use money because there&#8217;s no more money there.&#8221;
Roughly two-thirds of DHS employees are furloughed, according to Mullin.
The Senate is expected to vote as early as this week on a budget blueprint for a reconciliation package to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). However, Republicans and Democrats have yet to reach a final agreement on a long-term funding solution.
&#8220;What the Democrats need to do is explain to the American people why they want open borders and why they don&#8217;t want to deport these illegals that are truly running our cities and running our streets. And at some point, they need to be held accountable because they&#8217;re putting the homeland at risk &#8230; because our adversaries are taking advantage of the weakness,&#8221; he said.
Senate Republicans, including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), are pushing for a funding package that would extend ICE and CBP funding into the next decade, while also including defense spending, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5835883-reconciliation-dhs-fisa-warsh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The Hill.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has advocated for a &#8220;skinny&#8221; funding package that is more likely to pass both chambers, the outlet reported.
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) has advocated for a &#8220;tight&#8221; bill, according to The Hill.
“Why are we trying to make this more difficult? In fact, if you’ve got a really great set of ideas, then convince Sen. Graham to create another reconciliation vehicle, and we can do it after we dispense with the matter at hand,” he said.

Markwayne Mullin

President Donald Trump&#8217;s acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement director Todd Lyons is set to leave the agency after overseeing roughly 584,000 deportations.
Lyons first shared his plans to retire with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-trumps-ice-chief-slams-liberal-judges-for-creating-deportation-roadblocks-based-on-personal-opinions?author=Jennie+Taer&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=EXCLUSIVE%3A+Trump%E2%80%99s+ICE+Chief+Slams+Liberal+Judges+For+Creating+Deportation+%E2%80%98Roadblocks%E2%80%99+Based+On+Personal+%E2%80%98Opinions%E2%80%99">The Daily Wire</a> in September, stating his departure would be in &#8220;a year or two.&#8221; In a Thursday night statement, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin called Lyons &#8220;a great leader of ICE&#8221; and a &#8220;key player in helping the Trump administration remove murderers, rapists, pedophiles, terrorists, and gang members from American communities.&#8221;
&#8220;He jumpstarted an agency that had not been allowed to do its job for four years,&#8221; Mullin said. &#8220;Thanks to his leadership, American communities are safer. We wish him luck on his next opportunity in the private sector.&#8221;
Lyons&#8217; last day at ICE will be May 31, Mullin said.
A source familiar with his departure plans told The Daily Wire that Lyons &#8220;needs a break,&#8221; but that his ultimate reason for leaving the agency was &#8220;wanting to be back with his family.&#8221;
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson wrote on X Thursday that &#8220;Todd is an American patriot who made our country safer,&#8221; adding, &#8220;The American people are deeply appreciative for his service.&#8221;
Lyons has 20 years of service with ICE and was previously in the United States Air Force.
While leading ICE, he commanded the respect of rank-and-file agents and officers. He also leaves with the respect of Trump administration officials spearheading the mass deportation campaign.
Trump&#8217;s border czar Tom Homan told Fox News that Lyons &#8220;has served selflessly as a highly respected and effective acting Director of U.S. ICE.&#8221;
&#8220;Under his leadership, ICE achieved a record number of removals in the first year of this administration, despite unprecedented challenges, delivering on the president’s promise to deport illegal aliens who have no right to be in the U.S., especially those that are public safety risks or pose a threat to our national security,&#8221; Homan said.
&#8220;I commend him for a distinguished law enforcement career and the countless contributions he has made to protect our country and advance its interests,&#8221; he added.
White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller told Fox News that &#8220;Todd is a phenomenal patriot and dedicated leader who has been at the center of President Trump’s historic efforts to secure our homeland and reverse the Democrats’ sinister border invasion.&#8221;
&#8220;His courageous work at ICE has saved countless thousands of American lives and helped deliver safety and tranquility to millions of Americans,&#8221; Miller said.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Wednesday that the Biden administration knew the man suspected of murdering a DHS employee had a checkered criminal history, but granted him citizenship anyway.
Mullin said that 26-year-old Olaolukitan Adon Abel had an established criminal pattern before he was granted citizenship in 2022 by the Biden administration. Abel was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dhs-employee-murdered-while-walking-dog-as-biden-era-naturalized-suspect-emerges?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=DHS+Employee+Murdered+While+Walking+Dog+As+Biden-Era+Naturalized+Suspect+Emerges">arrested</a> earlier this week for murdering 40-year-old DHS employee Lauren Bullis in DeKalb County, Georgia, while she was out walking her dog.
“This individual not just had a pattern of criminal activity, but his pattern was every April. Every April, he had escalated his criminal activity, and the Biden administration knew this, law enforcement knew this, and they decided not to just deport him, but they allowed him to become a citizen, and then he escalated it to the point he did now,” Mullin said during an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham.

Abel was arrested on Monday after police said that he went on a random killing spree that left Bullis and another woman dead, and a homeless man seriously injured. Bullis was shot and stabbed while out walking her dog Monday morning.
Born in the United Kingdom, Abel has an extensive criminal history including convictions for sexual battery, battery against a police officer, obstruction, assault with a deadly weapon, and vandalism.
Mullin said it did not appear to be a targeted killing, but said there must have been some connection to the month of April.
“So the question is, why April? There must have been something in his life that was triggering April, that he was acting out, but there was a direct pattern to it,” he said.
Bullis worked in the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Homeland Security as an auditor.
“In every role she held, Lauren exemplified dedication to the OIG mission. Lauren approached her work with integrity, thoughtfulness, and a commitment to excellence that strengthened our organization and the communities we serve,” DHS <a href="https://x.com/DHSgov/status/2044473024808948076">said</a> Wednesday. “Beyond her professional accomplishments, Lauren was a bright spot for so many of the DHS community. She brought warmth, kindness, and a genuine sense of care to her colleagues each day.”

ICE agents detained an illegal alien from Ghana convicted on 15 counts for stealing more than $8 million through an online dating fraud scheme targeting the elderly, the Department of Homeland Security told The Daily Wire. 
Convicted three years ago in Boston, Massachusetts, for defrauding the elderly through fake dating profiles, ICE agents detained Kofi Ib Osei on Tuesday. Osei was convicted in March 2023 on seven counts of false statement to a bank, six counts of wire fraud, aiding and abetting, and two counts of money laundering. 
“Kofi Osei is a criminal illegal alien who committed fraud throughout New England,” Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis told The Daily Wire. “On April 6, 2026, ICE arrested Osei from jail and took him into custody in Virginia. This is why we need local cooperation.”
Osei first entered the United States in 2010 and was convicted on March 22, 2023, in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. 
The indictment against Osei revealed that he targeted victims across the country, from Florida to California, from 2016 to 2020, through a romance scheme that involved tricking individuals into sending money to bank accounts operated by Osei under fake names. This money was then used for buying cars and other personal items, according to the indictment.
To open bank accounts, Osei would use passports from South Africa and Lesotho under various names. 
One victim in the indictment included a woman who met Osei on eHarmony under the name “William Karlsen.&#8221; They communicated by phone and text, and Osei claimed he needed her to send him money so he could leave the oil rig he claimed to work on to visit her. Eventually, the victim transferred Osei over $200,000, according to the indictment. 
A second scheme involved Osei using the name “William Woodcox” and getting money from a woman he targeted on the dating website Plenty of Fish. That victim transferred him around $65,000 to help him after an accident in which he&#8217;d claimed to be involved. 
In total, the Justice Department said that Osei scammed hundreds of people out of $8 million. He was sentenced to 54 months in prison over the scheme. 
Osei was just one of the illegal immigrant criminals arrested this week by ICE. 
Others arrested by ICE this week included Pedro Joel Martinez, an illegal alien from El Salvador convicted for aggravated sexual assault of a child under 14-years-old; Miguel Angel Vazquez-Garcia, an illegal alien from Mexico convicted for dealing child pornography in Wilmington, Delaware; Ader Aldair Ramirez-Quiroz, an illegal alien from Honduras convicted for importation of fentanyl in San Diego, California; and Anyeli Carolina Peley-Herrera, an illegal alien from Venezuela convicted for acquisition of personal identification by false authority in Bonneville County, Idaho, according to DHS. 
“Yesterday, the heroic men and women of ICE arrested child predators, child rapists, drug traffickers, and other scumbags,” Bis said. “Under President Trump, criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the United States. If you come to our country illegally and break our laws, we will hunt you down, arrest you, deport you, and you will never return.”

The Trump administration arrested the president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, the Department of Homeland Security said on Thursday, describing the man as a Jordanian terrorist.
Salah Sarsour, who has lived in the United States for over 30 years, was convicted in Israel as a teenager after throwing molotov cocktails at the homes of Israeli soldiers. He has also been <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2017/01/21/womens-march-organizer-recently-met-ex-hamas-operative-has-family-ties-to-terror-group/">accused</a> of helping raise money for Hamas in the 1990s. Sarsour was issued a green card under former President Bill Clinton after lying on his immigration application, Homeland Security said.
Sarsour has been the president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee for the past five years. The society is the largest Islamic group in Wisconsin, The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/us/ice-milwaukee-muslim-leader-arrest.html">reported</a>. He is also a board member of the American Muslims for Palestine, a group that has faced <a href="https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/attorney-general-ken-paxton-files-legal-brief-against-american-muslims-palestine-and-other-radical">scrutiny</a> over alleged links to Hamas and its support for intifada in the wake of Hamas&#8217; October 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel.
&#8220;This terrorist will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings,&#8221; DHS said.

The Trump administration posted the description and photo of Sarsour on social media in response to Wisconsin Democratic Governor Tony Evers criticizing the administration over Sarsour&#8217;s arrest.
&#8220;Targeting people because of their beliefs or background is wrong,&#8221; Evers said. &#8220;This is clearly about sowing division and fear and doesn&#8217;t help make Wisconsin safer. I’m thinking of Mr. Sarsour&#8217;s family in this difficult time, and I join [Rep. Gwen Moore] 
in calling for his immediate release.&#8221;
Sarsour&#8217;s attorney said the Milwaukee Muslim leader received deportation papers from the Trump administration, which said that the State Department determined Sarsour &#8220;poses an adverse consequence to foreign policy considerations.&#8221; The man&#8217;s attorneys argued that the Trump administration is only targeting Sarsour because of his anti-Israel views, adding that Sarsour has no criminal record in the United States.
Hundreds of Muslims gathered for a rally at the Islamic Society of Milwaukee&#8217;s Salam School gym following the arrest of Sarsour, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel <a href="https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/local/milwaukee/2026/04/02/islamic-society-of-milwaukee-president-salah-sarsour-detained-by-ice/89433525007/">reported</a>. Othman Atta, the executive director of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee mosque told the crowd, &#8220;They want to criminalize advocacy for Palestine. That is the only reason that he is being targeted. There is nothing else.&#8221;
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has vowed to strip the legal status of immigrants found to be &#8220;Hamas supporters.&#8221; Last year, the Trump administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/federal-court-rules-against-mahmoud-khalils-release-from-ice-detention">arrested</a> pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, who led anti-Israel and anti-America demonstrations at Columbia University after the October 7 attack. The Trump administration won a legal victory in January over its arrest of Khalil when a federal court ruled that he could be taken back into custody after a lower court ordered his release.

In a textbook example of judicial activism, a federal judge in Boston has <a href="https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2026/mar/31/trump-administration-unlawfully-revoked-status-of-/">blocked</a> the Trump administration’s attempt to restore order to the U.S. immigration system.
On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs — an appointee of Barack Obama — issued a ruling that prevents the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from terminating the legal status of hundreds of thousands of migrants who entered the country under a controversial Biden-era program.
The ruling is a significant blow to the Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle the &#8220;CBP One&#8221; app system. Launched in 2023 under then-Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the app allowed nearly one million noncitizens from countries like Venezuela, Cuba, and Haiti to schedule appointments at ports of entry and receive &#8220;humanitarian parole.&#8221; This status allowed them to live and work in the U.S. indefinitely while awaiting asylum hearings that are often scheduled years into the future.
In April 2025, fulfilling a core campaign promise to secure the border and initiate mass deportations, the Trump administration notified approximately 900,000 CBP One users via email that their parole had been terminated. &#8220;Please depart the United States immediately,&#8221; the notice read.
Burroughs sided with a class-action lawsuit led by the Venezuelan Association of Massachusetts and represented by the liberal legal group Democracy Forward. She ruled that the blanket revocation was &#8220;not in accordance with law,&#8221; arguing that DHS failed to provide individualized records proving that the &#8220;purposes of parole&#8221; had been served for each migrant before revoking their status.
The Department of Homeland Security <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2026/03/31/obama-judge-halts-trump-effort-to-end-parole-for-hundreds-of-thousands/#:~:text=The%20U.S.%20Supreme%20Court%20reversed,This%20story%20has%20been%20updated.">responded</a> with a blistering statement, accusing Burroughs of overstepping her bounds. &#8220;We disagree with this blatant judicial activism undermining the president’s Article II authority to determine who remains in this country,&#8221; a DHS spokesperson said. &#8220;The Biden administration abused the parole authority &#8230; to allow millions of illegal aliens into the U.S., which further fueled the worst border crisis in U.S. history.&#8221;
The spokesperson emphasized that the administration remains committed to its self-deportation initiatives, including the &#8220;CBP Home App,&#8221; which offers migrants $2,600 and a flight home to avoid arrest.
For those following Judge Burroughs’ career, Tuesday’s ruling came as little surprise. She has a long history of high-profile clashes with the Trump administration’s agenda. In 2017, she was among the first judges to block Trump’s initial travel ban. Most notably, in 2019, she ruled in favor of Harvard University’s race-conscious admissions program — a decision that was later famously overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, which found the university&#8217;s use of race to be unconstitutional. More recently, in 2025, she struck down the administration’s attempt to freeze federal funding for the Ivy League institution.
With nearly a million parolees now allowed to remain in the country due to a single district court order, the administration is expected to appeal the decision to the First Circuit immediately.

President Donald Trump responded to the bombshell reveal of pictures showing the husband of former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem cross-dressing and exchanging risqué messages and photos with several women, saying he feels &#8220;badly for the family&#8221; if the story is confirmed.
&#8220;They confirmed it?&#8221; Trump asked, speaking to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15695627/Shocked-Trump-reacts-Kristi-Noems-crossdressing-husband-Daily-Mail-blew-lid-national-security-scandal.html">The Daily Mail</a>, the outlet that broke the story. &#8220;Wow, well, I feel badly for the family if that’s the case, that’s too bad. I haven’t seen anything. I don’t know anything about it. That’s too bad, but I just know nothing about it.&#8221;
The bizarre story about Noem&#8217;s husband Bryon Noem and his apparent cross-dressing habits broke on Tuesday morning, with national security experts saying it could have left Noem susceptible to blackmail while she was in the cabinet. A representative for Noem told the <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/03/31/us-news/kristi-noem-weighs-in-on-report-husband-bryon-lives-cross-dressing-double-life/">New York Post</a> that she and her family had been &#8220;blindsided&#8221; and &#8220;devastated&#8221; by the story that broke earlier that day, and asked for &#8220;prayers and privacy&#8221; as they navigated the situation.
The story alleged that Bryon Noem had exchanged risqué messages and photos with several women — including a number in which he could be seen wearing women&#8217;s clothing and with what appear to be balloons stuffed in his shirt. Several outlets referred to the fetish as &#8220;bimbofication,&#8221; which usually involves role-playing and dressing up to exaggerate physical characteristics that one might associate with a &#8220;bimbo.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Bryon Noem, according to the reports, used a different name when engaging with others in the fetish community — but the fact that Noem&#8217;s face could be clearly seen in a number of the photos raised questions about whether his activities could still have created a potential national security risk. If he was identified, it would have left his wife open to a potential blackmail situation.
&#8220;Damaging information like this can be a tantalizing lead for a hostile intelligence service,” former CIA officer Marc Polymeropoulos told The Daily Mail. &#8220;They approach the person and say, if you work with us we won’t expose this, and if you don’t, we will. That’s espionage 101.&#8221;
Bryon Noem denied ever sharing any sensitive information. Financial records reviewed by the outlet show he transferred tens of thousands of dollars to the women he was in contact with.
Kristi Noem was removed from the cabinet weeks ago, and has been replaced by former U.S. senator Markwayne Mullin, who was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/markwayne-mullin-confirmed-as-next-homeland-security-secretary">confirmed</a> and sworn in earlier this month.

Noem remains in the administration, as Trump appointed her Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas when he removed her from the cabinet position.

Another illegal immigrant has been accused of murder in Virginia.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) identified Anibal Armando Chavarria Muy, 38, who allegedly repeatedly stabbed a man to death in Fairfax County Sunday, as a &#8220;criminal illegal alien from Guatemala,&#8221; <a href="https://wjla.com/news/local/baileys-crossroads-deadly-stabbing-murder-anibal-armando-chavarria-muy-charged-fairfax-county-virginia-crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to ABC7.
Authorities found the victim inside a home with multiple stab wounds in his upper body Sunday, ABC7 reported. He later died at the hospital.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer with the Fairfax County Sheriff&#8217;s Office, which has notoriously flouted the federal immigration agency&#8217;s demands to hand over illegal immigrant criminals.
Meanwhile, DHS has placed the blame on Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger for the tragic killing, calling her out for another recent murder by an illegal immigrant.
Sierra Leone national Abdul Jalloh, 32, who had 30 prior arrests, allegedly murdered 41-year-old mother Stephanie Minter at a Fairfax County bus stop last month. Jalloh&#8217;s rap sheet included arrests for rape, malicious wounding, assault, drug possession, identity theft, trespassing, larceny, firing a weapon, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and pickpocketing, according to DHS.
Spanberger earlier said ICE&#8217;s detainer for Jalloh&#8217;s arrest wouldn’t be enough for local law enforcement to hand him over to immigration authorities for deportation.
&#8220;ICE is calling on Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger and Virginia&#8217;s sanctuary politicians to not release this murderer back into our communities,” DHS Acting Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Lauren Bis told ABC7. “This incident comes just one month after an innocent woman was murdered by another criminal illegal alien at a bus stop in Spanberger’s state. Open-border policies yet again have caused another preventable tragedy.”
When Spanberger entered office, she ended a cooperation agreement between state and local law enforcement and ICE. The day after Minter&#8217;s murder, the governor characterized ICE as “unaccountable agents” who “terrorize our communities&#8221; in the Democratic response to the State of the Union.
In almost every one of Jalloh&#8217;s previous cases, Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano’s office dropped the charges, ABC7 previously <a href="https://wjla.com/news/local/illegal-immigrant-with-long-criminal-record-accused-of-killing-woman-in-fairfax-county-abdul-emails-jalloh-stephanie-minter-commonwealths-attorney-steve-descano" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Authorities also previously warned about the dangers he posed to the community.
An officer with the Fairfax County Police Department notified Descano’s office in November, cautioning that he could continue to commit crimes if he&#8217;s released, according to emails obtained by 7News reporter Nick Minock.
Muy was charged with second-degree murder and is being held without bond, <a href="https://fcpdnews.wordpress.com/2026/03/30/officers-quickly-arrest-suspect-after-fatal-stabbing-in-baileys-crossroads/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the Fairfax County Police Department.
DHS said he snuck into the country as a &#8220;gotaway,&#8221; which means he made it past border authorities without detection, according to ABC7.
Muy also had an assault and battery charge from November 2024, when he was accused of punching a woman and attempting to strangle her, the outlet reported. A judge later dismissed the charge.
The Arlington Commonwealth’s Attorney said the charge &#8220;was dismissed at the request of the victim pursuant to 19.2-151, an accord and satisfaction,” in a statement to ABC7.
“Under that statute, the courts have discretion to dismiss a misdemeanor assault case (which this was charged as) when a defendant pays restitution to a victim. Here, the victim had expressed that the most important issue to them was restitution, which was paid. We try to honor the wishes of a victim, even though I do not favor resolution of cases by accord and satisfaction where violence is involved,&#8221; the attorney said.

Illegal Immigrant Accused Of Another Brutal Virginia Murder

After years on the run, one of Canada’s most wanted murder fugitives has been arrested in Mississippi by federal law enforcement after he illegally crossed into the United States. 
A federal and state task force captured fugitive Adrian Vincent Walker in Tupelo, Mississippi, on March 23 after the 30-year-old evaded Canadian law enforcement for nearly two years, landing on Canada’s top 25 most wanted list. He faces charges in Canada for murder and attempted murder. 
“Thanks to the brave men and women of ICE, one of Canada’s most wanted criminals is behind bars. This illegal alien was wanted for a murder in Canada,” Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis told The Daily Wire. “He is now facing charges for illegal entry into the U.S. and illegal possession of a firearm. DHS is grateful to our law enforcement officers and partners who took this illegal alien off of our streets and behind bars where he will finally face justice for his crimes.”

It is unclear when Walker illegally entered the United States, but Toronto Police <a href="https://www.tps.ca/media-centre/news-releases/65497/">said</a> he murdered 31-year-old Trevor Dalton John and wounded an unidentified woman on May 7, 2024. 
Under former President Joe Biden, illegal crossings at the northern border <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/illegal-immigrant-crossings-are-spiking-at-the-northern-border">surged</a>, with thousands crossing from Canada into New York, New Hampshire, and Vermont. After coming into office, President Donald Trump took steps to pressure Canada into cracking down on illegal immigration into the United States and the trafficking of drugs and guns over the border. 
Walker previously spent three years behind bars in Canada for aggravated assault, according to the Department of Homeland Security. 
After his arrest on March 23, 2026, by a Homeland Security Investigations task force, Walker was charged with illegally entering the country and possession of a firearm by an alien. ICE has placed an immigration detainer on Walker so he will not be released after he faces his charges in the United States. 
“This was a serious case. A Canadian national, wanted for murder, entered our country illegally and was living in our midst. He even made a Canadian Most Wanted list. Seeking sanctuary in Mississippi is not a smart move,” <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndms/pr/violent-international-fugitive-arrested-lee-county-northern-district-mississippi">said</a> United States Attorney Scott Leary. “Those that continually criticize law enforcement are not in the arena; our agents and officers are, and the folks in our district can sleep soundly knowing law enforcement officers did their job.”

WASHINGTON—If you&#8217;re looking for Bernie Sanders, you won&#8217;t find him here.
Vermont&#8217;s socialist senator was <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2026/03/27/sen-bernie-sanders-catches-first-class-flight-after-funding-bill-fails/?adid=social-tw">spotted</a> in first class on a 2:49 p.m. flight out of Reagan National Airport Friday afternoon — minutes after House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) vowed to reject the partial Department of Homeland Security funding bill Sanders and his colleagues in the upper chamber had passed around 2:00 a.m.
About an hour after Sanders&#8217;s flight took off, President Donald Trump entered the fray on Johnson&#8217;s side, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-kills-senate-bill-to-re-open-dhs-without-ice-funding?author=Cameron+Arcand&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Trump+Kills+Senate+Bill+To+Re-Open+DHS+Without+ICE+Funding">saying</a> the Senate bill — which carved ICE and Border Patrol out of DHS funding — &#8220;wasn&#8217;t appropriate.&#8221; Emboldened by the president, the House late Friday night rejected the Senate&#8217;s bill, instead passing a separate measure that would fund the entire Department of Homeland Security for 60 days.
What happens next is unclear, as Sanders wasn&#8217;t the only senator to skip town after the final vote. The Senate adjourned Friday for a two-week recess, and has no plans to reconvene before its planned April 13 return. As of Saturday morning, the partial shutdown of DHS has become the longest funding lapse in American history, surpassing 2025&#8217;s record-breaking government shutdown.
Sanders&#8217;s first-class escape makes him the latest lawmaker to be dinged for aerial hypocrisy amid the ongoing shutdown. As Americans waited up to four hours in TSA lines, members of Congress were often able to skip the lines entirely, making use of a perk exclusive to lawmakers. Delta Air Lines earned praise for suspending its special &#8220;congressional desk,&#8221; but as The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/did-delta-stop-vip-treatment-for-congress-its-complicated?author=Brecca+Stoll&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Did+Delta+Stop+VIP+Treatment+For+Congress%3F+It%E2%80%99s+Complicated.">reported</a>, lawmakers were still able to skip the security lines.
About 20 minutes before his flight departed, <a href="https://x.com/BernieSanders/status/2037594741273989383?s=20">Sanders took to X</a> to slam Elon Musk and &#8220;the wealthiest people in the world&#8221; for their views on AI. The senator is often criticized for railing against the wealthy, considering he himself is a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bloomberg-nails-socialist-bernie-youre-a-millionaire-with-3-houses">millionaire</a> who owns three homes.
On Saturday, Sanders will attend a &#8220;No Kings&#8221; rally in St. Paul, Minnesota — an event organized to protest Trump, an elected official.

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, the quintessential avatar of Hollywood’s detached elite, recently took to the airwaves to demonstrate exactly why &#8220;flyover country&#8221; has tuned him out.
In a segment dripping with the kind of coastal condescension that has become his trademark, Kimmel mocked President Donald Trump’s selection of Markwayne Mullin to lead the Department of Homeland Security, sneering at Mullin’s background as a business owner and tradesman.
Kimmel, whose primary life skill involves reading teleprompters in a climate-controlled studio, took aim at Mullin’s blue-collar roots.
&#8220;Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber,&#8221; Kimmel smirked, before launching into a hackneyed Super Mario joke. &#8220;We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Jimmy Kimmel doesn&#39;t think Markwayne Mullin is qualified to be the Secretary of Homeland Security because he used to be plumber, &quot;Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber. That&#39;s right. We have a plumber protecting us from… <a href="https://t.co/KT81mBIUOV">pic.twitter.com/KT81mBIUOV</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The irony is apparently lost on Kimmel: while he spent his youth chasing laughs in the entertainment industry, Mullin was overcoming actual adversity. Born with a clubfoot that required multiple surgeries, Mullin eventually earned a wrestling scholarship and, at just 20 years old, took over his father’s struggling plumbing business. He didn&#8217;t just &#8220;fix pipes&#8221;; he built one of the largest service companies in the region, illustrating the exact kind of American grit and managerial competence that is foreign to the halls of ABC.
Mullin isn&#8217;t just a &#8220;plumber,&#8221; though that is an honorable profession Kimmel clearly views as a punchline. He is a former five-term congressman, a U.S. senator, and an undefeated professional fighter.
This isn’t Kimmel’s first foray into elitist snobbery. Whether he is mocking Melania Trump’s accent, suggesting that unvaccinated Americans should &#8220;rest in peace, wheezy,&#8221; or dismissing the struggles of rural workers during government shutdowns, Kimmel’s track record is one of consistent disdain for the working class.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) hit the nail on the head, responding to the monologue by noting, &#8220;I prefer plumbers to woke and unfunny comedians.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

&nbsp;
Indeed, for the millions of Americans who actually work with their hands to keep this country running, Kimmel’s &#8220;Super Mario&#8221; routine isn&#8217;t just unfunny — it’s a reminder that the Hollywood elite view the backbone of the country as nothing more than a series of low-brow caricatures. While Kimmel plays dress-up for a living, men like Mullin are actually prepared to do the heavy lifting.
