Arizona Democratic lawmakers and activists got triggered by Trump Border Czar Tom Homan’s visit to the state and address to members of the State Legislature.

One House member even broke down in tears during a speech outside the Capitol.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Homan spoke to legislators in the Copper State Tuesday about the southern border and what the Trump Administration needs to stop the millions of violent criminals and terrorists who were allowed into our country under Joe Biden.

During his speech, a small group of liberals was seen outside the Capitol screaming and banging drums.

Via Rachel Alexander:

Arizona House Speaker Steve Montenegro told The Gateway Pundit "it's sad" that the Democrats are focused on fighting for illegals "instead of the children that are missing, instead of the Americans that are losing their lives from fentanyl" or "individuals, like Laken Riley, who are losing their lives because of brutal terrorists."

While the Border Czar was addressing lawmakers, Democrats stormed out of the Capitol as Homan began speaking about the over 300,000 children who were smuggled into this country and lost by the Biden regime. They were holding signs with the names of illegal aliens who were deported.

Homan responded with fire after they stood up to walk out, telling the lawmakers, "I love haters. They make my day."

"They chose the wrong time to walk out," Montenegro told The Gateway Pundit. "I think that we have to remind ourselves who elected us, who is expecting us to keep them safe, and those are Americans, Arizonans, who expect better from their elected officials." He then slammed the Democrats' sign stunt, saying, "Those are the names that should be on any signs."

Democrat State Rep. Betty Villegas gave an angry and dishonest speech outside the Capitol after she and her colleagues left the building. She ranted about the rights of people who are in our country illegally and claimed that ICE "deports people who are lawfully present in this country."

Villegas also accused Republicans in the legislature of "political theater," while claiming that Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs's SAFE initiative "has already taken over 6 million fentanyl pills off our streets." However, Montenegro says he credits the law enforcement officers of Arizona for doing their job and the Trump Administration's border reform for any success in combating the fentanyl crisis in Arizona.

WATCH:

Villegas: We're here responding to political theater. The decision to bring Tom Homan to our capitol today is not about solving the real challenges we face at the border. It's not about protecting public safety. It's certainly not about supporting the hard working immigrant communities that are the backbone of our economy and culture in Arizona. What's happening today is a farce, plain and simple, and the people of Arizona deserve better. Under Homan’s leadership, ICE was not only cruel, it is incompetent. Even by Trump era standards, it failed. His agency deports people who are lawfully present in this country. It separates families. It's targeting people who have built lives here, who contribute, who pay taxes to raise, who raise children, and who care for their aging parents.

If Republicans truly wanted a serious conversation on the border, they would take a cue from Governor Hobbs' SAFE initiative, which has already taken over 6 million fentanyl pills off our streets. That's real leadership. That's what public safety looks like. Instead, MAGA Republicans are trying to sell a false story that all undocumented people are criminals. That kind of rhetoric is dangerous. It's wrong, and it hurts real people. These are not just numbers. They are people, people with families, people who go to church, who run businesses, who coach Little League, who care for our sick and our elderly, people who deserve dignity and due process. Speaker yesterday says we want to follow the rule of law. Not having due process is not following the rule of law! So yes, we walked out because we will not be part of a charade that tries to take away the fundamental rights of others because once you strip one group of their rights, it becomes easier to do it to the next and the next. We stand here today because we believe in a better Arizona, one rooted in truth, in compassion and enduring promise of justice for all.

Rep. Anna Abeytia cried as she spewed lies and gave a cringeworthy threat, mentioning she's from the ghetto "West Side" of Phoenix and will not "stand idly by." At one point, she accused Republicans of Fascism and White Supremacy and bizarrely called President Trump Republicans' "political sugar daddy."

WATCH:

Abeytia: I am here today to address the crucial issue that deeply affects our communities and our values as Americans. I will not sit quietly while the truth is whitewashed, while the reality of what's happening is twisted to serve political agendas. Republicans are trying to clean up the political perception of these extra-judicial deportations by pushing false narratives, telling you not to believe your lying eyes. But I'm here to tell you that we will not let them sweep the truth under the rug. We know exactly what is happening, and we will not let them lie to Arizonans. I walked out today in protest because I refuse to be propagandized to about what the real issue is. Let's be clear, this issue is not about border militarization. No, the issue is a broken immigration system and bad foreign policy. These are the real roots of the crisis. As a duly elected representative and as a proud Latina, I have the obligation to speak out in this moment, and I have an obligation to stand up for my community and stand up for what is right. It was my community of Maryville, one of the hardest hit communities during SB1070 and the rise of anti immigration sentiment. This is the same community that fought against injustice, against prejudice, and against hate. And now we are being targeted again, but this time, by a Trump hate wave. And let me be clear, I will not stand idly by. That is not what we do in the west side.

Arizonans elected Republicans. Arizona elected Republicans have made a choice. They've decided to throw the rule of law into the gutter, all in the name of satisfying their political sugar daddy, Donald Trump. They've thrown away their responsibility to uphold justice in favor of preserving their political power. These Republican officials, today's Republican leaders, believe in power over patriotism, and that is a dangerous thing. What we're seeing now happening in our communities is disgusting. We are seeing families torn apart, lives ruined, and asylum seekers being deported, deported to tortured prisons in El Salvador, where the judges have specifically ordered that they not be deported there. Why is this happening? Because today's Republican Party is being led by people who are more interested in advancing their fascist White supremacist agenda than following the law. These are not people who care about justice. They care about control. They care about causing division and fear, and they will do anything, anything to enact their agenda. But I am here today to say enough is enough. I will not stand by and watch them terrorize my community. We will not let them dismantle the fabric of our society. We are here to stand up to these bullies. We say that we will not tolerate this cruelty, this law, this lawlessness, nor this hatred, hatred. We will fight back. We will continue to fight for our families, for our communities and for our dignity. We are standing on business here today because we are fighting for what's right, and I will never apologize for that.

Republican Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson on Tuesday released new records detailing the FBI and DOJ’s sweeping investigation that formed the basis of Jack Smith’s DC case against President Trump.

Last month Grassley and Johnson blew the lid off another sham investigation orchestrated by Biden’s corrupt Department of Justice and compromised FBI.

According to the documents released last month, the FBI and DOJ weaponized their power to target President Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and their allies through a probe dubbed “Arctic Frost.”

“Operation Arctic Frost” was a taxpayer-funded witch hunt launched in April 2022 that seized government-issued cell phones belonging to Trump and Pence while conducting a barrage of interviews across the country.

The FBI did not require a warrant to take possession of government phones from the Biden White House. However, after securing the devices, agents began preparing a search warrant to access their data, sources familiar with the investigation told Fox News.

The senators claim anti-Trump FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault violated FBI protocols—specifically the “No Self-Approval Rule”—to kickstart the investigation, which later turned into Special Counsel Jack Smith’s bogus lawfare case against Trump, relying on fabricated justifications, including the absurd claim that Trump and his associates had engaged in “fraudulent” activities related to the 2020 election.

The whistleblower documents detailed how the FBI aggressively pursued over 50 subpoenas, secretly gathered records from more than 100 different facilities and email accounts, and conducted a second wave of interviews across multiple states in their attempt to form a case against Trump and his inner circle.

New records released revealed prosecutors in the US Attorney’s Office in DC who joined Jack Smith’s inquisition coordinated with FBI agents to plan and execute Arctic Frost.

Newly-disclosed FBI emails provided by legally protected whistleblowers show:

1. Officials in the Biden White House, including then-White House Deputy Counsel Jonathan Su, personally assisted the FBI in securing the government cell phones of President Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence. The cell phones were acquired before Trump was formally added as a subject of the investigation.
2. Prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, D.C. – including U.S. Attorney Thomas Windom, who later joined Jack Smith’s team as a main attorney – coordinated extensively with FBI agents in the Washington Field Office to plan, approve and execute Arctic Frost.
3. Further evidence anti-Trump FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) Timothy Thibault played a central role in opening and advancing the Arctic Frost investigation, despite other agents’ concerns that the evidence only supported a limited preliminary investigation.

After decades of global economic exploitation from our trade partners, President Trump is putting the American worker first.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

President Donald Trump isn’t playing games with Communist China anymore.

Trump is set to unleash a devastating 104% tariff on Communist China this Wednesday after Beijing ignored his “12 o’clock” deadline to lift its retaliatory tariffs.

According to Fox Business, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dropped the bombshell earlier today, confirming that the tariffs kicked in at noon ET. Why? Because China’s commie overlords refused to back down from their own retaliatory duties on American goods.

According to FOX Business Network’s Edward Lawrence, the White House made the move swiftly and decisively.

“White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says 104% additional tariffs went into effect at noon eastern time because China has not removed its retaliation,” Lawrence reported. “The 104% additional tariff will be collected starting tomorrow, April 9th.”

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is throwing a full-blown tantrum, vowing to “fight to the end” after President Donald Trump delivered a righteous ultimatum: retract your outrageous 34% retaliatory tariff on American goods by April 8, or face a devastating 50% tariff wall from the United States starting April 9.

This is the kind of bold leadership America’s forgotten workers have been crying out for—and the CCP can’t handle it.

Last week, President Trump took a sledgehammer to decades of Chinese economic exploitation, slapping a 34% tariff on their imports to level the playing field against Beijing’s suffocating 67% trade barriers.

In typical CCP fashion, instead of negotiating in good faith, China resorted to propaganda, whining about “unilateral bullying” while conveniently ignoring its decades of economic warfare, including slave labor, forced technology transfers, and currency manipulation.

President Trump is not messing around. He is serious about standing up for the American worker. We will no longer be taken advantage of so that foreign countries can make themselves rich off our backs.
