'They Replaced Law And Order With Performance Art': Gutfeld Lists Democrats' Most Absurd TantrumsNew Foto - 'They Replaced Law And Order With Performance Art': Gutfeld Lists Democrats' Most Absurd Tantrums

Fox News' Greg Gutfeld slammed what he called the Democratic Party's biggest "tantrum[s]" Friday on "The Five," accusing them of replacing "law and order" with "performance art." In Democrats' latest attempt to push back on the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agentsarrestedDemocrat Newark Mayor Ras Baraka after he attempted to enter a New Jersey detention facility, according to the Department of Homeland Security. While discussing the chaotic scene involving Baraka, Gutfeld blasted Democrats for what he called their performative "crap." "Yeah, I think you had one day, one bad day for the right, and they had to milk it for all it's worth, commissions, you name it, throw everybody in jail," Gutfeld said. "They've done this every single day since like 1963. They haven't stopped. Think about all the crap that the Dems are doing now. The singing, the shouting, flying to El Salvador, storming ICE." "They've replaced law and order with performance art. The problem is, like all performance art, no one buys it. It's one and done. It's self-serving. It doesn't offer any service to the community that they claim to help. No one really remembers [Democrat Maryland Sen. Chris] Van Hollen going to El Salvador," Gutfeld added. WATCH: In March, illegal migrant Kilmer Armando Abrego Garcia was deported by the Trump administration to El Salvador's mega-prison. Although a judgeorderedthe U.S. to return Garcia, the administration appealed the case to the Supreme Court.(RELATED: 'Worst Of The Worst': Trump Admin Official Details 'Circus' Surrounding Democrats' Attempt To Enter ICE Facility) "I'm sure he would like people to forget about it. I won't. Somebody should put out an Amber Alert for Van Hollen. Where is that douchebag?" Gutfeld asked. "That guy wasted, what? How many weeks of our lives being a self-righteous jerk?" By April 10, the justicesruledthat the administration must "facilitate" Abrego Garcia's return — despite alleged ties between him and the MS-13 gang. While some Democrats advocated in themediafor Abrego Garcia's return, Van Hollenusedtaxpayer dollars to travel to El Salvador to advocate for the illegal migrant's due process. "But this is all, you know what this is? This is all traced back to the guilty white liberal and the soft bigotry of no expectations. They believe you cannot be held accountable for your actions," Gutfeld said. "You're almost too childlike to be expected to conform to civilized behavior. This is why you have the affluent white female libs, awfuls, defending extra rights for male perverts, gang members, and psychopaths." "Meanwhile, it's American men, mothers, and wives who have said 'Enough.' Americans are generally pretty laid back until they're not, and then they've had enough," Gutfeld said. "You elected Trump. The adults enter the room. These are children. This is a tantrum. They expect us to respect that. We won't." Following Van Hollen's visit, four Democrat Reps. — Maxwell Frost of Florida, Robert Garcia of California, Maxine Dexter of Oregon and Yassamin Ansari of Arizona —traveledto El Salvador in April to demand Abrego Garcia's return to the U.S. During their visit, the lawmakers notablystayedat the luxury Hilton San Salvador hotel, which has panoramic views of the country, sources told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Trump signs executive order launching self-deportation programNew Foto - Trump signs executive order launching self-deportation program

President Trump said that he signed an executive order Friday to formally launch a self-deportation program to further incentivize migrants living in the United States illegally to leave the country. "We are making it as easy as possible for illegal aliens to leave America. Any illegal alien can simply show up at an airport and receive a free flight out of our country," Trump said in avideothat was posted on social media Friday. The president said that illegal migrants can book a free flight to any country, except the U.S., but he also warned that if they do not leave, they will face "severe consequences." "Illegal aliens who stay in America face punishments, including significant jail time, enormous financial penalties, confiscation of all property, garnishment of all wages, imprisonment and incarceration and sudden deportation, in a place, and manner solely of our discretion," Trump said Friday. The commander-in-chief stated the administration is "adding a very important exit bonus for illegals to further incentivize their self deportation," claiming it will save the American taxpayers "billions and billions of dollars." The executive order came just days after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)announcedthe administration would give a $1,000 payment to migrants if they "self-deport" using the CBP Home app. The migrants would be paid once their arrival in another country is confirmed through the app, according to DHS. "Illegal aliens submitting their intent to voluntarily self-deport in CBP Home will also be deprioritized for detention and removal ahead of their departure as long as they demonstrate they are making meaningful strides in completing that departure," DHS said on Monday. The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) cautioned against taking the payment and advised migrants to first speak to an attorney. "AILA cautions individuals when reviewing the announcement to understand it is deceptive and gives people the impression there are no consequences, such as being barred from returning in the future. No one should accept this without first obtaining good legal advice from an immigration attorney or other qualified representative," AILAsaid. Trump has made cracking down on illegal immigration one of the highest priorities of his second White House term, vowing on the campaign trail and now in office to deport millions of migrants living in the U.S. illegally. His administration hasdeportednorth of 135,000 people in the first 100 days of his second Oval Office term. Trump indicated Friday that if some of the migrants are "really good," the federal government would assist them if they decide to return. "So to all illegal aliens and book your free flight. Right now, we want you out of America, but if you're really good. We're going to try and help you get back in," the president said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

First U.S.-China meeting amidst trade war unlikely to yield major changes, economists sayNew Foto - First U.S.-China meeting amidst trade war unlikely to yield major changes, economists say

(The Center Square) – The U.S. is set to meet with China for the first time in the trade war begun just over a month ago, and while it could lead to real negotiations down the road, many observers see it as a preliminary meeting. President Donald Trump raised tariffs with many of America's trading partners, including China, on April 2, causing many countries to reach out to the U.S. to negotiate trade deals, according to the administration (though the White House has only shared the framework details of one deal made with the United Kingdom). But China chose to raise its tariffs in response, sparking a trade war that has resulted in a 145% tariff on Chinese imports to the U.S. and a 125% tariff on American goods imported to China. Trump has said he has been talking with Chinese President Xi Jinping, but neither country had released any details about those conversations, and China denied they happened. Several economists The Center Square spoke to weren't optimistic that the meeting would yield big results. "By all accounts that we can locate, it appears that it's a meeting to talk about a meeting," said director of education and senior research fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research, Ryan Yonk."Which isn't a big surprise. That's how these things tend to begin, where behind the scenes, there is movement likely on both sides… to begin to talk about how will they actually set up a way to have more formal discussions.'" Alex Durante, a senior economist at the Tax Foundation who previously worked for the Federal Reserve Board and the Council of Economic Advisers, agreed. "I think it's possible that maybe both sides reach some kind of agreement and tariffs maybe on certain kinds of goods are lowered or removed, but I'm a bit skeptical that we're going to get something very remarkable," Durante told The Center Square. Part of the skepticism is due to an episode of déjà vu – the first Trump administration also had specific aspirations for U.S.-China trade relations which largely never materialized. Trump also raised tariffs on China then to establish a better trade relationship. China, as it has now, responded in kind. In January 2020, the Trump administration signed the 'Phase One' trade agreement, which included commitments from China to increase U.S. imports by $200 billion and strengthen protections on intellectual property. But China ultimately fell short of its purchasing commitments, partly due to the pandemic. Trump had also sought to further address non-tariff barriers such as forced technology transfer and state subsidies, but those deeper issues remained unresolved. "They never got to some of the real issues – that is, the problems of the state capitalism characteristics that really hamper trade and investment with not just the United States but others – the kinds of things about technology transfer, about subsidies, about favoritism to state-owned companies," said Claude Barfield, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and a former consultant to the office of the U.S. Trade Representative. Some of these issues were spoken about in a congressional hearingearlier this yearthat focused on the Chinese Communist Party's influence on American investment. China reportedly pressures companies to share proprietary technology to gain access to the Chinese market, and it employs other business practices in its international deals that don't comply with World Trade Organization regulations. More skepticism comes from the fact that both sides have invested far more than merely economics in the outcome of their negotiations. "You [have] two regimes that are unlikely to make decisions on pure economic outcomes, as much as we think they should," Yonk told The Center Square. China has undergone a marked real estate crisis and faces other economic challenges, and the U.S. is adjusting to new economic policies under the Trump administration, the after-effects of a jarring inflationary period and the looming question of a recession. "There's been massive capital investment [in China] that really hasn't panned out in the way they expected," Yonk said. "In large part, China had messaged their legitimacy by what they could deliver economically. When that changed, there was a pivot to more Chinese nationalism as the justification, which means it's no longer about just getting an economic deal that's going to work for China, there's also now a much more nationalistic question that's on the table about respect and sort of world influence." Barfield also described economic problems in both countries. Xi has "internal issues," Barfield said, while Trump, elected for his economic policies, faces pressures at home. "Has he done things to help him on the issues that got him elected?" Barfield remarked to The Center Square. "Certainly, throwing tariffs all around the world isn't going to help. We don't know yet, but it may not end up in inflation over the whole U.S. economy rather than just sort of price hikes in different sectors, but it's something he and his people are now worried about." The administration has acknowledged the existing rates are unsustainable, but it's unclear which side will make concessions first. "I think it's a bit of a pick 'em [whether] one side or the other gives in first, and I actually think we're not likely to see evidence that one side or the other did. I think both sides will claim the other did and the question will be, can the other side accept that narrative and still go forward with some sort of trade deal. I think it's gonna be a long road to a trade deal with China that is really sort of substantial and far-reaching," Yonk said. Trump did post to Truth Social on Friday, saying a lowered 80% tariff on China "seems right" but that it was up to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, but this was after saying earlier in the week that the U.S. would not lower tariffs on China to prompt concessions from the Chinese. "I think the best outcome would be sort of a cooling off period, if they agree to actually have discussions after Saturday," Yonk said.

Authorities Release Pro-Palestine Foreign Student After Federal Judge's OrderNew Foto - Authorities Release Pro-Palestine Foreign Student After Federal Judge's Order

Federal authorities released Turkish national and doctoral student Rumeysa Ozturk, who was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), after U.S. District Judge William K. Sessions III ordered it. The Federal District Court in Vermont ruled Friday that Ozturk must be released from detention, The New York Times (NYT)reported. Federal authorities had held the doctoral student from Tufts University at a detention center in Louisiana for approximately six weeks. "Her continued detention cannot stand," Sessions said at Ozturk's hearing.(RELATED: Trump Announces First Wave Of Federal Court Nominations) Ozturk was detained in March by ICE agents outside her home in Somerville, Massachusetts, according to NYT. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE "found that Ozturk engaged in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlintoldthe Daily Caller News Foundation in March. McLaughlin said it was "commonsense security" and added that a "visa is a privilege." Ozturk co-authored anop-edin the Tufts Daily 2024 regarding Tufts Community Union Senate voting to demand her university accept three resolutions calling on the institution to "acknowledge the Palestinian genocide, apologize for University President Sunil Kumar's statements, disclose its investments and divest from companies with direct or indirect ties to Israel." The Union Senate didapprovea fourth that would call for the termination of study abroad programs at Israeli universities. The op-ed argued that the university's response "to the Senate resolutions has been wholly inadequate and dismissive of the Senate." "There has been no evidence that has been introduced by the government other than the op-ed," Sessions said, according to NYT. He added that her detention could possibly chill "the speech of the millions and millions of individuals in this country who are not citizens." A federal appellate court ruled Wednesday that Ozturk must be released from the detention facility and returned to Vermont,accordingto the outlet. However, Sessions fast tracked her bail hearing, leading to it taking place while she remained in Louisiana. The Department of Justice (DOJ) and Ozturk's attorneys suggested the possibility of restricting travel to Vermont and Massachusetts, where she resides, but Sessions said he did not believe Ozturk posed a flight risk, according toPolitico. The Trump administration has continued to face opposition to deportation efforts from federal judges.(RELATED: Deadly Sabotage Could Destroy Trump's Legacy, And America Too) Chief Judge of the D.C. District Court James Boasberg temporarily blocked Trump's efforts in March to expedite the deportations of alleged members of the Venezuelan gangTren de Aragua. In early April, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinisorderedthe administration to return alleged MS-13 gang member Abrego Garcia to the U.S. after deporting him to El Salvador. U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts issued a temporary stay of the order days later.

Mayor of Newark, New Jersey, released after arrest at immigration detention centerNew Foto - Mayor of Newark, New Jersey, released after arrest at immigration detention center

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was released after spending several hours in custody following his arrest ata new federal immigration detention centerhe has been protesting against. Baraka was accused of trespassing and ignoring warnings to leave the Delaney Hall facility and was finally released around 8 p.m. Friday. Stepping out of an SUV with flashing emergency lights, he told waiting supporters: "The reality is this: I didn't do anything wrong." The mayor said he could not speak about his case, citing a promise he made to lawyers and the judge. But he voiced full-throated support for everyone living in his community, immigrants included. "All of us here, every last one of us, I don't care what background you come from, what nationality, what language you speak," Baraka said, "at some point we have to stop these people from causing division between us." Baraka, a Democrat who is running to succeed term-limited Gov. Phil Murphy, has embraced the fight with the Trump administration over illegal immigration. He has aggressively pushed back against the construction and opening of the 1,000-bed detention center, arguing that it should not be allowed to open because of building permit issues. Linda Baraka, the mayor's wife, accused the federal government of targeting her husband. "They didn't arrest anyone else. They didn't ask anyone else to leave. They wanted to make an example out of the mayor," she said, adding that she had not been allowed to see him. Alina Habba, interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey, said on the social platform X that Baraka trespassed at the detention facility, which is run by private prison operator Geo Group. Habba said Baraka had "chosen to disregard the law." Video of the incident showed that Baraka was arrested after returning to the public side of the gate to the facility. Witnesses describe a heated argument Witnesses said the arrest came after Baraka attempted to join three members of New Jersey's congressional delegation, Reps. Robert Menendez, LaMonica McIver, and Bonnie Watson Coleman, in attempting to enter the facility. When federal officials blocked his entry, a heated argument broke out, according to Viri Martinez, an activist with the New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice. It continued even after Baraka returned to the public side of the gates. "There was yelling and pushing," Martinez said. "Then the officers swarmed Baraka. They threw one of the organizers to the ground. They put Baraka in handcuffs and put him in an unmarked car." The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that the lawmakers had not asked for a tour of Delaney Hall, which the agency said it would have facilitated. The department said that as a bus carrying detainees was entering in the afternoon "a group of protestors, including two members of the U.S. House of Representatives, stormed the gate and broke into the detention facility." Watson Coleman spokesperson Ned Cooper said the three lawmakers went there unannounced because they planned to inspect it, not take a scheduled tour. "They arrived, explained to the guards and the officials at the facility that they were there to exercise their oversight authority," he said, adding that they were allowed to enter and inspect the center sometime between 3 and 4 p.m. Watson Coleman later said the DHS statement inaccurately characterized the visit. "Contrary to a press statement put out by DHS we did not 'storm' the detention center," she wrote. "The author of that press release was so unfamiliar with the facts on the ground that they didn't even correctly count the number of Representatives present. We were exercising our legal oversight function as we have done at the Elizabeth Detention Center without incident." Video shows the mayor standing on the public side of the gate In video of the altercation shared with The Associated Press, a federal official in a jacket with the logo of the Homeland Security Investigations can be heard telling Baraka he could not enter the facility because "you are not a congress member." Baraka then left the secure area, rejoining protesters on the public side of the gate. Video showed him speaking through the gate to a man in a suit, who said: "They're talking about coming back to arrest you." "I'm not on their property. They can't come out on the street and arrest me," Baraka replied. Minutes later several ICE agents, some wearing face coverings, surrounded him and others on the public side. As protesters cried out, "Shame," Baraka was dragged back through the gate in handcuffs. Several civil rights and immigration reform advocates, as well as government officials, condemned Baraka's arrest. New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin, whose office is defending a state law barring private immigration detention facilities, criticized the arrest during a seemingly peaceful protest and said no state or local law enforcement agencies were involved. Rep. Menendez said in a statement that as members of Congress, they have the legal right to carry out oversight at DHS facilities without prior notice and have done so twice already this year. But on Friday, "Throughout every step of this visit, ICE attempted to intimidate everyone involved and impede our ability to conduct oversight." The detention center The two-story building next to a county prison formerly operated as a halfway house. In February, ICE awarded a 15-year contract to The Geo Group Inc. to run the detention center. Geo valued the contract at $1 billion, in an unusually long and large agreement for ICE. The announcement was part of President Donald Trump's plans to sharply increase detention beds nationwide from a budget of about 41,000 beds this year. Baraka sued Geo soon after the deal was announced. Geo touted the Delaney Hall contract during an earnings call with shareholders Wednesday, with CEO David Donahue saying it was expected to generate more than $60 million a year in revenue. He said the facility began the intake process May 1. Hall said the activation of the center and another in Michigan would increase capacity under contract with ICE from around 20,000 beds to around 23,000. DHS said in its statement that the facility has the proper permits and inspections have been cleared. ___ Associated Press writer Rebecca Santana in Washington contributed.
