JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri Gov. Mike Parson on Tuesday announced he is sending up to 200 Missouri National Guard members and 22 State Highway Patrol troopers to the Texas border with Mexico. The Republican governor made the announcement at a news conference in Jefferson City in which he blamed President Joe Biden’s administration for its handling of immigration at the southern border and tied illegal immigration to the country’s fentanyl crisis. “It all stems from the Biden administration’s reckless, irresponsible and failing open-border policies,” Parson said. “With our southern border wi...

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — A group of Missouri Republican lawmakers are pushing now-debunked social media posts purporting to identify one of the gunmen in the Kansas City Chiefs rally shooting and unsubstantiated assertions that one or more of the shooters were migrants in the country illegally. The hard-right Missouri Freedom Caucus’ social media page, as well as at least two of the group’s members, Republican Sens. Rick Brattin and Denny Hoskins, have shared a series of posts that claim to identify a 44-year-old man as a shooter. The Associated Press on Thursday debunked the claim as false. The ...

Rep. Sharice Davids was frustrated. In a few hours, the House would impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. A first attempt a week earlier failed on a tie vote, as three Republicans joined Democrats in opposing the move because of a lack of evidence the controversial Biden cabinet official committed high crimes and misdemeanors. And earlier on Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson said he would not put a Senate bill to provide military aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan up for the vote because it didn’t include provisions to help secure the southern border – after rejecting a bip...

It was about abortion, gun safety and Israel. It was always about immigration. But in the end, after two months of furious campaigning and fundraising and unique national attention fixed on a sliver of Queens and swaths of Long Island, the frantic special election battle for the House seat vacated by George Santos may have boiled down to another element that defies easy policy categorization. At the ballot box, voters in New York’s 3rd Congressional District — an area that was seen as turning increasingly red over the years — decided to pick a seasoned veteran over a mostly unknown newcomer. T...

NEW YORK — Mayor Eric Adams pushed back Tuesday on new state legislation that seeks to outlaw the 30- and 60-day limits his administration has put on migrants staying in New York City shelters, saying his policies constitute a “successful humanitarian response.” The bill to prohibit those policies was unveiled by their sponsors, state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal and Assemblywoman Catalina Cruz, on Monday. “I wonder: Did the lawmakers who introduced this bill, did they go to Washington and communicate that this should not be happening to our city? This is a national crisis that has been placed in N...

NEW YORK — Newly released body camera footage of the chaotic melee between NYPD officers and a group of asylum seekers appears to contradict some of the claims by law enforcement about what ignited the incident that sparked nationwide coverage of migrants attacking the cops in Times Square. At a press conference Thursday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said a “meticulous” multiagency review determined two officers were assaulted after they told a group of young men outside a Midtown shelter to disperse, and one refused. NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said the group was impeding...

NEW YORK — Two days after a Bronx man got into an altercation with the Guardian Angels in Times Square, the group’s leader, Curtis Sliwa, took his lumps Thursday from a broad swath of elected officials and everyday New Yorkers. Sliwa, who erroneously identified the Bronxite as a Venezuelan migrant during a live interview Tuesday night on national TV, gave a defiant mea culpa Thursday afternoon to the Daily News, saying he could have been “milder and calmer.” But that didn’t stop the political class from reining down rhetorical blows on the conservative radio personality. “Washed-up comic book ...

LANSING, Mich. — Democratic lawmakers are condemning a social media post from Republican state Rep. Josh Schriver of Oxford that promoted "the great replacement" theory, a racist ideological belief that there's a coordinated global effort to diminish the influence of White people. On Tuesday, Schriver shared a post of a graphic that depicted black figurines covering most of a map of the world, with white figures occupying smaller sections of Australia, Canada, northern Europe and the northern United States. The bottom of the graphic read "The great replacement!" The graphic, initially posted b...

NEW YORK — Guardians Angels boss Curtis Sliwa issued what amounted to a defiant apology Thursday for saying he thought a man roughed up by his crew on national TV in Times Square was a migrant because the man spoke Spanish — a flub some city leaders are calling a “hate crime.” “Washed-up comic book villain instructed his herd of wannabe vigilantes to beat up a guy they decided ‘looked like’ a migrant,” Councilman Justin Brannan (D-Brooklyn) tweeted. “A hate crime. Live on TV. Violence of any kind, whether against cops or innocent people in Times Sq, must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of ...

OLYMPIA — Three immigrant justice campaigns for unemployment benefits and health care for undocumented immigrants and greater support for asylum-seekers brought hundreds of people together at a rally Wednesday in Olympia. "The people united, will never be divided," the crowd of about 380 chanted. Buses and cars honked in support as the demonstrators made their way to the steps of the Capitol from downtown Olympia. The march and rally were led by the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network, the largest immigrant-led organization in the state, with a coalition of more than 400 immigrant and refu...
