Trump admin raises left-wing dictator’s feet to the fire with new illegal immigration threat

Venezuela will face “severe, and escalating sanctions” if it refuses to accept its citizens who have been deported from the United States, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday. 

The tough warning comes as the Trump administration seeks to ramp up deportations of Venezuelans living illegally in the U.S. and to need a temporary residency program for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans, which could pave the way for them to lose their legal status. 

‘WEAPONIZED MIGRATION’: US FACES DEADLY CONSEQUENCES WITH MADURO IN POWER, VENEZUELAN OPPOSITION WARNS

Many of those with protected status migrated to the U.S. amid Venezuela’s economic collapse under the authoritarian rule of President Nicolas Maduro.

“Venezuela is obligated to accept its repatriated citizens from the U.S. This is not an issue for debate or negotiation,” Rubio wrote on X. “Nor does it merit any reward. Unless the Maduro regime accepts a consistent flow of deportation flights, without further excuses or delays, the U.S. will impose new, severe, and escalating sanctions.”

The threat came days after Richard Grenell, President Donald Trump’s special envoy tasked with securing the release of six U.S. citizens imprisoned in Venezuela, said the Maduro government had agreed to accept repatriation flights.

Maduro agreed to accept his citizens after initially refusing to do so.

In February, Trump ended a permit to export oil to allow Chevron to export oil from Venezuela to the U.S. In doing so, Trump noted that Maduro’s government had not met benchmarks to promote free and fair elections.

The Trump administration is fighting to deport Venezuelan gang members back to their country. Over the weekend, 238 Venezuelan gang members were flown to a high-security prison in El Salvador despite a federal judge’s order temporarily blocking the deportations.

During an interview on Fox News Radio, Rubio thanked El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele for accepting the migrants. 

“Venezuela should be taking them, but they refuse to take them. And so, we are fortunate to have a friend like President Bukele who, as part of my meeting with him said we will take them for a fraction of what it costs you guys to house them in your own prison system,” he said.

“I think it was a very helpful thing that El Salvador did for us and President Bukele, and we’re grateful to him for it. And frankly, I feel like we should continue to do it,” he added. 

GOP rising star praises Trump as she eyes 2026 run for governor in battleground state

Business executive, conservative commentator and 2022 Republican gubernatorial nominee Tudor Dixon says she’s seriously mulling another run for statewide office in 2026 in her home state of Michigan.

But Dixon says she hasn’t decided whether she’ll bid for the Great Lakes battleground state’s open Senate seat or governor’s office.

“I want to do the most good for our beloved state. That’s why I’m considering a run for governor or U.S. Senate,” Dixon announced Tuesday in a statement on social media. “Both races present unique opportunities and different ways to benefit Michigan.”

Dixon said that she “will decide soon where my experience and talents would most benefit the state we love so dearly.”

THIS TOP DEMOCRAT MAKES A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT IN MICHIGAN’S SENATE RACE

In her statement, Dixon praised President Donald Trump, emphasizing that he “is leading the way nationally.”

“He is delivering on his promises to secure the border, bring manufacturing jobs home and boost energy independence,” she argued. “I am committed to standing with President Trump to deliver on the America First agenda here in Michigan.

THIS REPUBLICAN WAS THE FIRST TO JUMP INTO MICHIGAN’S RACE FOR GOVERNOR

Trump’s endorsement of Dixon in the summer of 2022 helped boost her to the GOP gubernatorial nomination. Dixon went on to lose by ten points to Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who secured a second term steering Michigan.

Whitmer is now term-limited and prevented from running for re-election in 2026.

Among the Republicans already in the race are state Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt, who announced his bid for governor in January.

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist and Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson are among the Democrats who’ve already announced.

Detroit’s Democratic Mayor Mike Duggan made headlines late last year when he announced his 2026 gubernatorial campaign as an independent.

The Senate race will be a battle to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters, who announced earlier this year that he wouldn’t seek re-election in 2026 to a third six-year term.

Former Rep. Mike Rogers announced at the end of January that he was “strongly considering” a second straight Republican run for the Senate in Michigan.

ONLY ON FOX: SENATE GOP CAMPAIGN CHAIR REVEALS HOW MANY SEATS HE’S GUNNING FOR IN 2026

Fox News confirmed earlier this month that Rogers is likely to announce his campaign in the coming weeks and that he has hired veteran Republican strategist and Trump’s 2024 co-campaign manager Chris LaCivita as a senior advisor.

Rogers won the 2024 GOP Senate nomination in Michigan but narrowly lost to Rep. Elissa Slotkin, the Democrats’ nominee, in last November’s election in the race to succeed longtime Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow, who retired. Slotkin, who vastly outspent Rogers, edged him by roughly 19,000 votes, or a third of a percentage point.

Besides Dixon, other Republicans considering a Senate run are Rep. John James – who is in his second term in the House and was the GOP Senate nominee in Michigan in 2018 and 2020 – and longtime Rep. Bill Huizenga.

Among Democrats, State Sen. Mallory McMorrow, the majority whip in Lansing, is likely to launch a Democratic campaign. McMorrow grabbed national attention in 2022 after delivering a floor speech in the Michigan Senate that was seen as a model for countering GOP attacks.

Among the other Democrats who have expressed interest in running are two-term Michigan Attorney General Dana Nesse and Congresswoman Haley Stevens.

Pete Buttigieg last week ruled out a Senate run in his adopted home state of Michigan.

The move by the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, who served four years as transportation secretary in former President Joe Biden’s administration, appears to clear the path for a potential 2028 White House bid by Buttigieg.

Trump recaps nearly two-hour phone call with Putin on ‘The Ingraham Angle’

President Donald Trump described his nearly two-hour phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin Tuesday at the White House as “great” during an exclusive interview with “The Ingraham Angle,” as he continues to pursue a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.

The conversation between Trump and Putin comes amid efforts to mediate an end to the war after Ukrainian officials agreed to an unconditional 30-day ceasefire earlier in March.

“[We] talked about a lot of things — toward getting it to peace, and we talked about other things also,” Trump said, referring to Russia’s three-year war against Ukraine.

RUSSIA WANTS ‘IRONCLAD’ GUARANTEE THAT UKRAINE WILL BE BARRED FROM NATO: OFFICIAL

Putin did not immediately agree to an unconditional ceasefire, instead announcing Tuesday after his phone call with Trump that Moscow would halt strikes only against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure for 30 days.

Wall Street Journal chief foreign affairs correspondent Yaroslav Trofimov reported not even an hour after the Kremlin made the announcement that a Russia-guided bomb took out the power in the Ukrainian city of Slovyansk.

Air raid sirens were also heard throughout the country as drones flew in the skies over a handful of cities, including Kyiv, Sumy and Kharkiv.

Trump doubled down on his claims that the war would never have started had he been president, telling Fox News host Laura Ingraham it was “not a war that was supposed to happen.”

UKRAINE UNVEILS 600-MILE CRUISE MISSILE THAT CAN REACH MOSCOW AMID PEACE TALKS

“And right now, you have a lot of guns pointing at each other, and a ceasefire without going a little bit further would have been tough. Russia has the advantage,” he said.

“As you know, they have encircled about 2,500 soldiers. They are nicely encircled and that’s not good, and we want to get it over with. Look, we’re doing this. There are no Americans involved. There could be if we end up in World War III over this, which is so ridiculous — but, you know, strange things happen.”

The commander-in-chief appeared to be referring to a post he made on his Truth Social account March 14 about Russian forces reportedly surrounding Ukrainian soldiers in the Kursk region.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denied Trump’s claims, writing on X, formerly Twitter: “There is no encirclement of our troops.”

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the main body responsible for planning the country’s defense, wrote on its Facebook page that the alleged “encirclement” is “false” and “fabricated by the Russians for political manipulation and to exert pressure on Ukraine and its partners.”

According to a readout from the Kremlin after Putin’s call with Trump, Russia and Ukraine will conduct a prisoner exchange on Wednesday, trading 175 people from each side, as discussions to end the war continue.

The readout also noted that for a potential ceasefire across the entire frontline, mobilization and the rearmament of Ukraine “need to stop,” as well as a “complete cessation” of foreign military aid and intelligence to Kyiv. 

Dem accuses girls of lying about allegedly being forced to change in front of male

Illinois Democrat state representative Bob Morgan suggested the middle school girls who allege they had been forced to change with a transgender student in a locker room had lied about the situation.

During an Illinois General Assembly session Tuesday, Morgan addressed the alleged incident after it was brought to attention by Deerfield resident Nicole Georgas, who filed a federal civil rights complaint after exposing the alleged incident at a school board meeting last week. 

Morgan, who represents Deerfield, addressed the issue in response to it being brought up by Republican state representative Adam Neimerg, who brought up the allegations by Georgas.

In Morgan’s response, he called the issue “a lie,” while praising his community’s and schools’ handling of the situation and condemning Neimberg for even bringing the issue up at all.

“I’m really proud of my community who stood up for those who need to be defended and protected, making sure we have great schools, which we do by the way, we have incredible, incredible schools, incredible families, an incredible community that has come together to deal with this situation. Because it’s a lie!” Morgan said. 

“So the next time a representative wants to talk about other districts, I understand he might be ashamed and, frankly, probably should be, but instead of standing on this floor taking our time today talking about children, try and talk about your own district.”

Georgas responded to Morgan’s accusations in a response on X. 

“Really [Rep. Morgan?] Was your daughter in the locker room? Because mine was! How Dare you accuse them of lying. You are disgusting [and] despicable and I hope one day I get to play the audio for you!” Georgas wrote. 

Georgas filed her civil rights complaint with the Justice Department after claiming that school administrators had attempted to force her 13-year-old daughter to change in front of a transgender student in the girls’ locker room last month.

HHS’ CIVIL RIGHTS OFFICE FINDS MAINE IN VIOLATION OF TITLE IX FOR ALLOWING BIOLOGICAL MALES IN WOMEN’S SPORTS

Nicole Georgas revealed the complaint during a Board of Education meeting for Deerfield Public School District 109 last week, claiming that the incident had been place last month after her daughter refused to change into her uniform during physical education because a biological male student had been present at the time.

“The girls want their locker rooms and bathrooms back. They want their privacy back. This is why I’m here tonight. My thirteen-year-old daughter’s well-being, mental health and privacy are at stake,” Georgas said during her speech at the board meeting on Thursday.

According to Georgas, her daughter had been “frightened” and “extremely upset” when on Feb. 5 she had been using the girls’ bathroom and noticed that a transgender student was also using the facilities at the same time.

“She was told by the administration that a student can use the bathroom as well as a female locker room because they now identify as female,” Georgas said of the explanation administrators allegedly provided to her daughter. 

Georgas said the situation worsened when, days later, her daughter and other classmates refused to change into her uniform during physical education because the transgender student was present. 

She claimed that the following day, school administrators pulled the girls aside and later made them change into uniform. 

“That day, [Assistant Superintendent for Student Services] Joanna Ford, [Assistant Principal] Cathy Van Treese, and multiple teachers all came into the girls’ locker room, making them change into uniform. This went on all week,” she said, adding that her daughter had still “refused to take part.”

Georgas then raised the issue to the school’s administration, noting to them that she believed it was a direct violation of President Donald Trump’s “Keeping Men out of Women’s Sports” executive order. She said in her speech that the administration informed her that, under the direction of their legal counsel, the student was free to use both the girls’ bathroom and the girls’ locker room.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Deerfield Public Schools District 109 said that no student is required to change in front of others in the locker room and added that the school’s policies align with state law. 

“District 109 is committed to providing a learning environment where all students and staff are respected and supported. Our policies and procedures, including student use of locker rooms, align with state laws, the Illinois School Code, and Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) guidance. No student is required to change into a gym uniform for physical education class in front of others in locker rooms. All students in the middle schools have multiple options to change in a private location if they wish.”

Trump starts releasing secret JFK assassination files, 80,000 pages now available to public

80,000 pages of previously-unseen files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy were released Tuesday after President Donald Trump made the long-awaited announcement just one day earlier. 

“So, people have been waiting for decades for this, and I’ve instructed my people… lots of different people, [director of national intelligence] Tulsi Gabbard, that they must be released tomorrow,” Trump said during a visit to the Kennedy Center in Washington.

“You got a lot of reading. I don’t believe we’re going to redact anything. I said, ‘just don’t redact, you can’t redact.'” 

As of Tuesday night, over 1,123 unredacted documents – totaling roughly 80,000 pages – are visible on the National Archive’s website. The files can be viewed by clicking this link.

TRUMP ANNOUNCES HE WILL RELEASE 80,000 JFK ASSASSINATION FILES ON TUESDAY, GOING TO BE ‘VERY INTERESTING’

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard commended Trump’s move in an X post on Tuesday, writing that the president “is ushering in a new era of maximum transparency.”

“Today, per his direction, previously redacted JFK Assassination Files are being released to the public with no redactions,” Gabbard wrote. “Promises made, promises kept.”

Gabbard also said that the previously-classified records were published “with no redactions.”

“Additional documents withheld under court seal or for grand jury secrecy, and records subject to section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code, must be unsealed before release. NARA is working with the Department of Justice to expedite the unsealing of these records,” Gabbard said in a separate statement. “Grand juries from many years ago have already seen them, so most of this information is already out, but regardless of this, this information will be immediately released upon the direction of the Court.”

Some redactions will be made to documents released in the future, despite the President’s earlier statements, a source familiar with the matter told Fox News. Redactions will include personal information such as Social Security numbers of those cited in the documents and “live assets in Cuba,” the source said. 

Fox News also was told that due to the large volume of documents it will take several days to release them all, with Tuesday being the first day. 

WEEKS AFTER EPSTEIN FILE FALLOUT, A NEW DEADLINE LOOMS IN THE RELEASE OF THE RFK AND MLK FILES

Back in January, Trump signed an executive order to declassify files on the assassinations of JFK, his brother Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) and civil rights icon Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK). The order requested that the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and the attorney general submit a proposed plan for the JFK files release by February 7. 

Both offices, in coordination with the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs and the Counsel to the President, had until the end of the day to submit their proposed plan. 

DNI and other officials were expected to submit their proposed release plans for the RFK and MLK files on March 9. 

The JFK files release comes just a few weeks after the Justice Department revealed a batch of Jeffrey Epstein files in late February. Many of the documents publicized then had already been released during the federal criminal trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former lover and convicted accomplice. 

The lack of new material prompted an outcry and criticism of the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein files – and questions about what the RFK and MLK documents could hold upon their release. 

The FBI previously said in a February statement that it had conducted a new records search in light of Trump’s executive order, saying at the time, “The search resulted in approximately 2400 newly inventoried and digitized records that were previously unrecognized as related to the JFK assassination case file.”

FBI UNCOVERS THOUSANDS OF UNDISCLOSED RECORDS CONNECTED TO JFK’S ASSASSINATION

The promise of a JFK files release has been reiterated over the last several administrations, with Trump promising on the campaign trail to declassify the documents upon entering his second term. 

“When I return to the White House, I will declassify and unseal all JFK assassination-related documents. It’s been 60 years, time for the American people to know the truth,” he said at the time.

Trump had also promised to release the last batch of documents during his first term, but such efforts ultimately dissipated. Trump blocked the release of hundreds of records on the assassination following several CIA and FBI appeals.

Former President Joe Biden also released batches of documents during his term. In 2021, he postponed the planned release of several JFK documents, citing the delay to the coronavirus pandemic. 

Dominican judge rules in American witness’ favor in missing student case

PUNTA CANA, Dominican Republic – A Dominican Republic judge on Tuesday evening ruled in favor of witness Joshua Riibe’s writ of habeas corpus in the March 6 disappearance of University of Pittsburgh student Sudiksha Konanki from a Punta Cana resort.

Riibe appeared in court in the Dominican Republic, where he has been held in the disappearance of Konanki, 20, who has been missing since the early morning hours of March 6. Riibe has not been named a suspect in the case, which has been considered a missing person case and not a criminal one.

The 22-year-old appeared with his father as prosecutors argued that the witness’ freedom has not been limited while he has been held in the Dominican Republic after his passport was confiscated, and he has the right to walk around the RIU Republica resort without issue.

It was not immediately clear when Riibe would be able to leave the country. Riibe will have another hearing on March 28, when he is expected to receive an explanation about the location of his passport. He can move freely within the Dominican Republic until then.

KEY WITNESS IN AMERICAN COLLEGE STUDENT’S DISAPPEARANCE TELLS POLICE HOW THEY MET, WHAT HAPPENED ON BEACH

Riibe’s attorney from Guzmán Ariza, the largest law firm in the country, briefly addressed the media after the hearing. 

He said that Riibe was deeply supportive of Konanki’s family, and joined in the collective hope for her safe return. He also noted that his firm was retained to defend Riibe’s fundamental rights, and that he was grateful for the court for recognizing and upholding the law. 

The attorney also thanked the U.S. government for cooperating in the case.

“Finally, we extend our heartfelt solidarity to the family of Sudiksha Konanki during these difficult times, joining in the collective hope for her safe return as soon as possible,” the lawfirm said in a prepared statement.

Riibe’s father left the courtroom after the hearing, but offered no comment to frenzied reporters “in respect to Sudiska’s family.”

Riibe’s lawyers had said his passport was confiscated, but prosecutors argued that he lost his passport. Meanwhile, Dominican authorities returned Riibe’s friend’s passport on Tuesday afternoon.

“Ever since my passport was taken, it’s very rare I’m alone.”

— Joshua Riibe

Lawyers and prosecutors screamed at each other during a very heated hearing on Tuesday after Riibe’s counsel submitted photos of him surrounded by police and patrol cars.

Riibe is not paying for lodging; the RIU allowing him to remain there for free.

His lawyer, meanwhile, said the prosecutor is playing with the court and the public opinion. His lawyer claimed that Riibe always has police around for his safety.

The 22-year-old Iowa man and his father also had the opportunity to testify Tuesday

Riibe said on Sunday, he woke up and went to get breakfast, and when he returned to his hotel room, police “showed up saying that they were p—ed we didn’t tell them.”

He added that police eat with him, and officers went “crazy” when he and his father went to the American embassy.

“So we had to wait in the lobby for the tourist police to arrive to get escorted,” he said. “That same day, I had another meeting, and when we grabbed lunch, the police [were] there. The issue is that we only have [one] method of communication, so every time they need us, we have to be in the room. I can’t go anywhere. I really want to be home. Hug my family and friends.”

Ribbe also said he “hugged” Konanki’s parents before they left the Dominican and returned home to Virginia.

“I understand there is an investigation, and I’ve cooperated, but haven’t been allowed to leave,” he told the court on Tuesday. “When Sudiksha’s parents left, they said goodbye and even hugged me. She thanked me for saving her daughter the first time. All I’ve been doing is waiting in my hotel room to be interviewed but at this point. I just want to be home.”

AMERICAN COLLEGE STUDENT DISAPPEARS IN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: TIMELINE

Konanki went swimming in the ocean with the witness, identified as 22-year-old Riibe of Iowa, outside the RIU Republica resort in Punta Cana after drinking at a hotel bar. She has yet to be located.

Riibe has been detained in the Dominican since then and filed a writ of habeas corpus on Monday, challenging his de facto detention in the country. He arrived in court for a hearing Tuesday in which a judge will rule on whether he can return home, sources said.

The State Department confirmed to Fox News Digital earlier on Tuesday that it was assisting a witness in University of Pittsburgh student Sudiksha Konanki‘s March 6 disappearance from the Dominican Republic.

“We take seriously our commitment to assist U.S. citizens abroad and are providing consular assistance,” the State Department said in a statement when asked about Riibe’s Monday filing of a writ of habeas corpus. “Due to privacy considerations, we have no further comment.”

Konanki had gone to the beach with a group of seven other friends after a night of drinking. Six of her friends returned to the RIU Republica around 6 a.m., leaving the 20-year-old student alone with Riibe, who was also on spring break at the RIU Republica and is believed to be one of the last people to see her alive.

Riibe, who is considered a witness in Konanki’s disappearance, apparently told Dominican authorities that while they were swimming, a large wave crashed over them, according to a translated transcript of his interview to police shared with Fox News. 

He said he tried to help her and last saw her wading through knee-deep water. He then began vomiting up seawater and noticed that Konanki was no longer in sight and assumed she had returned to her hotel room. Riibe said he fell asleep in a beach chair before eventually returning to his room. 

HOTEL HORROR STORIES EMERGE AFTER AMERICAN COLLEGE STUDENT GOES MISSING AS RESORT INSISTS NO CONNECTION

Hotel surveillance footage shows Riibe returning to his hotel room around 9 a.m. on March 6.

Konanki’s parents, Subbarayudu and SreeDevi Konanki, are not disputing Riibe’s account of what happened, according to a letter they sent to Dominican police on Monday. Her father had previously asked police to investigate all possibilities.

“Following an extensive search, Dominican authorities have concluded that Sudiksha is believed to have drowned,” her parents wrote in a letter to La Policia Nacional, the country’s national police force, Monday night. “Her clothes were discovered on a beach near where she was last seen. The individual last seen with her is cooperating with the investigation, and no evidence of foul play has been found.”

They said they made the request after “much deliberation” and thanked supporters for the international search effort.

MISSING AMERICAN COLLEGE STUDENT SEEN IN NEW HOTEL SECURITY FOOTAGE BEFORE DISAPPEARANCE

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office in Virginia, where Konanki is from, issued a statement sharing her family’s belief that she drowned.

“While a final decision to make such a declaration rests with authorities in the Dominican Republic, we will support the Konanki family in every way possible as we continue to review the evidence and information made available to us in the course of this investigation,” the sheriff’s office said.

SPRING BREAK WARNING: MOST UNLIKELY AMERICAN TOURIST HOT SPOTS EMERGE AS DEADLY RISK 

Riibe, a senior at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota who has not been accused of a crime but is considered a crucial witness in the case, has been held under surveillance at the resort since Konanki was reported missing.

His family has called his continued required presence in the country “irregular.”

NCAA Tournament starts off with instant classic, miraculous bucket in game’s final seconds

Welcome to March Madness, Alabama State.

The First Four games kicked off the tournament on Tuesday night, and fans were treated to an instant classic that came down to the wire.

Alabama State took down St. Francis (Pa.), 70-68, with a miraculous bucket in the game’s final ticks.

With the game tied at 68 with 3.4 seconds left, Alabama State did their best Christian Laettner impression, as Micah Simpson launched a Hail Mary from one end of the floor to the other.

The ball was tipped in the air, but it somehow landed in the hands of Amarr Knox who was right underneath the basket, and he was able to bank in the layup.

St. Francis had one second for a miracle, but the three-quarters shot fell short.

Alabama State’s prize is a date with No. 1 Auburn in the Round of 64.

Alabama State was down by as many as nine points, after Riley Parker hit a three-pointer with 1:12 to go in the first half, but they were able to cut the deficit to five before the half.

St. Francis, though, got it back up to eight early in the second half; however, Alabama State was able to chip away and even lead by four in the final 100 seconds.

Chris Moncrief of St. Francis drilled a three with 40 seconds left to make it 68-68, and Alabama State’s TJ Madlock missed a one-and-one. However, St. Francis turned the ball over, which led to the wild finish.

If Alabama State has anything to look forward to, it’s the fact that Auburn has hit quite the skids, losing three of their last four games after a 27-2 start.

Knox, the hero, led the way with 16 points for Alabama State.
