Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed on Tuesday during a press conference that the Trump administration is coming after the traitor who leaked classified details of the heroic Iran rescue mission.

As The Gateway Pundit has relentlessly reported, an American F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down over Iran last week in a brazen act of aggression by the terrorist regime. Both crew members ejected. One was rescued immediately.

But the second airman, the Weapons Systems Officer, was stranded deep behind enemy lines, evading capture by scaling a 7,000-foot mountain ridge and hiding in a crevice while Iranian forces hunted him with a massive bounty on his head.

What followed was nothing short of an Easter miracle. Both airmen were saved thanks to the unmatched bravery of our military.

President Trump himself revealed yesterday that somebody inside the government leaked critical details about the missing airman to the press, information that immediately tipped off the entire Iranian regime and put hundreds of American service members in mortal danger.

Trump said he’s prepared to send the reporter to jail unless they cough up the leaker’s identity.

Now Acting AG Todd Blanche is backing that up with steel.

When pressed by a reporter about whether there’s an ongoing leak investigation tied to the F-15E incident, Acting AG Blanche delivered a clear message:

Blanche: “I will never comment on ongoing investigations. I think that, to the extent that we have seen a series of leaks that necessarily involve classified information and put the lives of our soldiers or agents at risk, that is something we will always investigate.

And we will investigate, even if it means sending a subpoena to the reporter. That’s exactly what we should do, and that’s exactly what we will be doing.

If it means conducting standard investigations to identify who within the government feels it is acceptable to leak classified information and put lives at risk, then we will try to root him or her out as well.

So, I’m not going to discuss ongoing investigations, except to say that, yes, we will always investigate those types of leaks.”

WATCH:

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that an Israeli journalist has come out and admitted to being the first to drop the bombshell details on the second missing U.S. airman in Iran.

Amit Segal, the high-profile political commentator and anchor for Israel’s Channel 12 news, stepped forward on his Telegram channel Monday and acknowledged his role in publishing the initial scoop about the downed U.S. fighter jet crew.

When confronted by the New York Post, Segal walked back his earlier claim, admitting he was “not sure” he had broken the story first, before adding that he would still protect his “sources.”

An ICE agent saved a baby’s life in a TSA line at New York’s JFK Airport on Wednesday.

The Democrats have repeatedly voted to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security and TSA.

Major airports across the US are experiencing delays due to TSA staffing issues.

President Trump deployed ICE agents to airports across the country to help travelers swiftly get through security lines after Democrats blocked funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

One of the ICE agents deployed to JFK saved a baby’s life.

An infant was unresponsive and wasn’t breathing when an ICE agent jumped into action and performed the Heimlich maneuver on the baby.

“DHS tells Fox News that an ICE agent saved the life of a 1-year-old boy who had gone unresponsive and wasn’t breathing while waiting in a TSA line at JFK airport yesterday.

Full statement from the DHS:

At JFK Airport, as travelers waited in hours-long lines, an infant became unresponsive and stopped breathing. The panic of the child’s family and nearby passengers were heard by an ICE agent stationed at a checkpoint.

This heroic officer immediately sprang into action—rushing toward the cries, taking the child, and performing a Heimlich maneuver that restored the infant’s breathing after nearly two minutes.

This officer’s extraordinary bravery embodies the selfless service of DHS law enforcement.

Video released by the DHS shows the agent running to help the baby.

‘The Era of Deportations Has Begun’: EU Parliament Approves Member Countries Setting up Return Hubs Outside the EU To Send Failed ‘Asylum Seekers’

What was once a ‘far-right’ idea is now a common-sense policy for Europe.

First, it was Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni with her Albania plan, followed by former British PM Rishi Sunak with his ‘Rwanda plan’ – both blocked by activist judges because of the insane EU asylum legislation.

But today (26), after years of constant growth of right-wing parties across the old continent, things are changing for real, as European lawmakers voted to authorize the setting up of migrant detention centers outside the European Union, known as ‘return hubs’.

Associated Press reported:

“Members of the European Parliament voted 389-206 in favor, with 32 abstentions. Right-wing parties made an alliance with far-right groups that they had previously shunned to pass the measure, while parties of the left and center voted against.

Any EU nation can now negotiate on its own or in small coalitions to deport migrants not to their home countries but to facilities yet to be built outside the 27-nation bloc.”

“Already, Greece, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and Denmark have entered into negotiations with governments mainly in Africa to host sites to hold migrants denied asylum.

[…] Charlie Weimers, a lawmaker from the right-wing Sweden Democrats: ‘There is a new consensus in Europe. The era of deportations has begun’, he said in a social media post.”

Euronews reported:

“The law will also increase the legal detention period to up to two years and impose practically unlimited entry bans in the EU on the returned people.

The final version of the law will now be discussed between the Parliament and EU member states. The negotiation is expected to be smooth, as there are no substantial differences between the two texts.

Both MEPs and EU countries want to include in the deportations to third countries families with children, excluding from the provision only the unaccompanied minors.”

The US and Russia are rebuilding ties.

On the one hand, the US supports Ukraine against Russia in their 4-year war, while Russia supports Iran against the US in their recent military confrontation.

But on the other hand, the United States and the Russian Federation have been engaged in a difficult but potentially rewarding détente.

Reuters reported:

“A delegation of Russian lawmakers has arrived in the United States for meetings with U.S. lawmakers, Russian media said, on the ​first such trip since relations between the world’s two biggest ‌nuclear powers hit rock bottom over the war in Ukraine.”

After the start of the war in Ukraine, US-Russian relations deteriorated to the worst level in history, but after the return of Donald J. Trump, the ties have improved considerably.

“The ⁠lawmakers’ visit to the United States, first reported by Russia’s Vedomosti ​newspaper, includes Vyacheslav Nikonov, a lawmaker who is the grandson of Josef ​Stalin’s foreign minister, Vyacheslav Molotov, according to Russian media reports.”

The Russian lawmakers met US lawmakers today and are expected to meet US officials tomorrow.

“The visit is ‘part of ​the normalization of relations with the United States of America’, Alexei Chepa, first deputy ‌chairman ⁠of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, told Izvestia.”
