New Jersey’s voter rolls are under intense scrutiny after state officials acknowledged that roughly 6,600 noncitizens were registered to vote through what Gov. Mikie Sherrill described as a software glitch involving the state’s motor vehicle system. On NEWSMAX’s “Sunday Agenda,” host Lidia Curanaj examines the controversy with Early Vote Action founder Scott Presler and former U.S. Election Assistance Commission Chairman Don Palmer, now a senior election-integrity fellow at the Heritage Foundation. Presler argues the revelation vindicates election-integrity advocates who were previously dismissed or silenced for raising concerns about noncitizens appearing on voter rolls. He also claims that hundreds of the individuals identified…

A conservative legal nonprofit has released a 35-page guide telling New York City police officers they may contact ICE to share immigration-status information, arguing federal law overrides Mayor Zohran Mamdani's sanctuary directives. America First Legal obtained what it calls the legal high ground in the escalating standoff between the Trump administration and New York City over immigration enforcement. The group's "Law Enforcement Officer Immigration Cooperation Guide" cites Section 1373 of federal immigration law, a provision that bars state and local governments from restricting officials who want to share immigration-status information with federal authorities, and tells officers they can pick up the phone and call ICE's 24-hour Law…Open

With 100 days until the midterm elections, a new forecast gives Democrats a 60 percent chance of flipping the House while Republicans cling to equally narrow odds of holding the Senate. Decision Desk HQ released its late-July midterm model showing Democrats favored to win a 225-210 House majority, a 15-seat advantage, while Republicans hold on to a razor-thin 50-50 Senate that would depend on Vice President Vance to break ties. Both chambers sit at 60-40 probability splits, and both remain genuinely contested. Geoffrey Skelley, DDHQ's chief elections analyst, told The Hill the picture is straightforward: "It's a competitive situation in both the Senate and the House." Competitive, yes. But not symmetrical. Democrats are riding a…Open

Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell says his department now fields roughly 8,550 officers, nearly 4,000 fewer than the 12,500 he calls ideal, as attrition outpaces hiring and the 2028 Olympics loom. McDonnell told The California Post in an exclusive interview that the LAPD's uniformed force has dropped by about 200 officers since February, when the department counted more than 8,700. He put the current number at 8,551 "on the job today" and raised his ideal staffing target from the 12,000 he cited five months ago to 12,500. The gap between what Los Angeles has and what its chief says it needs amounts to a shortfall of roughly 3,950 officers, a deficit that dwarfs the 410 new hires the City Council funded this fiscal year. A senior…Open

A German citizen with known ties to Islamic extremist circles drove a van into a crowd near Berlin's Pride festival, killing one woman and injuring 29 others, an attack Germany's interior minister called an act of Islamic terror.

One woman died. Three others sustained life-threatening injuries. Eight more were seriously hurt, and the total…Open

A federal judge has permanently blocked Illinois from offering in-state tuition, financial aid, and scholarships to illegal immigrants, the latest in a growing string of courtroom victories for the Trump administration's campaign against state-level benefits for those in the country unlawfully. U.S. District Judge Stephen McGlynn, a Trump appointee in the Southern District of Illinois, ruled Friday that the state's in-state tuition policies, the RISE Act, and the Illinois DREAM Act are "unconstitutional and invalid" as they apply to illegal immigrants. McGlynn granted the Department of Justice's motion for summary judgment and denied Illinois' motion to dismiss, Fox News Digital reported . The order permanently bars the state from…Open

A newly uncovered Biden White House memo reveals plans to extend Temporary Protected Status to more than 3 million noncitizens, a move Sen.

Schmitt, a Missouri Republican who chairs the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, obtained the internal memo from Archivist of the United States Edward Forst. The document, drafted in January 2025 during the final stretch of Biden's presidency, laid out options for dramatically expanding TPS, the federal program that shields foreign nationals from deportation when their home countries face armed conflict, natural disasters, or other extraordinary conditions.
