Immigration judge orders deportation of NYC Council employee after ICE arrest; city leaders push back
Bonny Chu / Fox News
An immigration judge has ordered the deportation of a former New York City Council employee federal officials said in January was an undocumented immigrant with a prior assault arrest.
City Council Speaker Julie Menin announced the deportation ruling on Wednesday, condemning it as a “miscarriage of justice and wholly deplorable” and pledging to fight back by filing an appeal.
Two months ago, Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez, 53, was detained during an immigration appointment and was identified by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as a Venezuelan “criminal illegal alien” who overstayed his visa.
Federal officials said despite having no work authorization, Rubio Bohorquez was employed by the New York City council as a data analyst for roughly one year.
Local officials, including Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Menin, strongly disputed DHS claims…Read more here.

Marco Rubio Surges As a Potential GOP Presidential Candidate in 2028
Dmitri Bolt – Townhall
CNN is reporting that Marco Rubio’s chances of becoming the Republican Party’s 2028 presidential nominee have quadrupled in just four months, as the Secretary of State has quickly emerged as one of the most reliable and popular figures in President Trump’s second administration.
“Marco Rubio is hot, hot, hot, like a summer heat wave. I mean, just take a look here. Over the last six months, Chance Rubio has been the 2028 GOP presidential nominee. He was at just seven percent six months ago. Hello, up like a rocket, 27 percent chance,” CNN’s Harry Enten said. “Now, what is that? That’s quadrupling his chances in four months’ time. Marco Rubio’s chances, according to the Kalshi Prediction Markets, way, way up. OK, why? Why? Why are his chances way, way up?”
Enten argued that the Iran war has massively increased Rubio’s popularity among MAGA.
Well, one of the reasons why his chances are way, way up is because the MAGA base really…Read more here.

Sen. John Fetterman Supports Trump and Blasts Media for Their Coverage of the New Ayatollah
Joseph Chalfant / Townhall Tipsheet
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has joined President Donald Trump in calling upon the nations of the world in the American effort to secure the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route that supplies Gulf state oil to much of the world. He also eviscerated the liberal media for their unwillingness to probe the Iranians over their lack of clarity on the state of their leadership.
“I largely agree with what the President said—that Iran has essentially been defeated. Why don’t the Western media just demand that Iran provide proof of life of the Ayatollah? Because I think the Iranians are doing kind of like a Weekend at Ayatollah’s and they are trying to pretend that this guy is functional or even alive at this point. I think we just call them out and realize that they’re a nation that’s been effectively defeated and they don’t have any leadership. They’re unwilling to even provide proof to refute that. So, overall, I think it’s entirely appropriate to remind the world that if you want their oil, you know, you need to help us to reopen the Straits.” Sen. John Fetterman on Fox Business.

Trump admin invokes Defense Production Act, directs oil company to restart California operations
By Ashley Carnahan – Fox News
The Trump administration invoked the Defense Production Act to order an oil company to restart shuttered offshore operations in California, saying the move is necessary to address oil supply disruption risks and reduce reliance on foreign crude.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Friday directed Sable Offshore Corp., an oil and gas company headquartered in Houston, to restore operations at the Santa Ynez Unit and the Santa Ynez Pipeline System off the coast of Santa Barbara, according to a statement from the Department of Energy.
The order prioritizes restarting oil production and pipeline capacity to move crude through the Las Flores Pipeline System to Pentland Station, a key inland hub for transporting offshore oil to refineries, and into interstate pipelines.
“California once supplied nearly 40 percent of U.S. oil production, but decades of radical…Read more here.
