Meet our newest, goodest boy, Bevo!

Named after the beloved mascot at the University of Texas at Austin, K9 Bevo joins us at just 12 months old to begin his training with his handler, Officer Wilkes.

Bevo, a Malinois, will be trained in patrol work (apprehension and searches, specifically) and explosives detection.

He starts training TODAY!

Please join us in welcoming Bevo to his very own version of the Paw Patrol. He's already got his poses for his flag photos nailed down.

Radical Democrats gearing up for woke 2.0

"Slogans may change, but the extreme leftist agenda remains."

As the midterm elections loom in less than three months, voters had better get used to terms like “cherry-picked” and “taken out of context.”
Those are the standard replies of Democratic candidates caught saying indefensible things in past online posts.

BPAs assigned to the Oroville & Curlew BP Stations arrested an illegal alien that has prior convictions for illegal re-entry into the U.S., DUI, and assault. The subject will be transferred to ICE for detention and removal from the U.S.

"The U.S. violent crime rate plunged 9.7% last year — the largest annual drop since the FBI's national estimates began in 1936 — according to the bureau's data released last week."

🚨Reminder:

Democrats in Congress want to undo all of this progress by defunding federal law enforcement agencies and protecting illegal immigrant drug dealers, rapists, and murderers.

OF COURSE IT'S A DEMOCRAT (AGAIN): The House Ethics Committee has publicly confirmed that Democrat Rep. Jimmy Gomez is under investigation over allegations of s*xual misconduct involving a House staffer.

The allegations first surfaced in June, but the committee has now taken the significant step of announcing its investigation publicly. It says the review includes an allegation of inappropriate s*xual contact with a staffer.

Gomez, a married father of one, maintains that the conduct was consensual and says he did not violate any law or House ethics rule.

But the same party that never misses an opportunity to lecture America about women, workplace power and moral standards now has another member facing serious scrutiny.

Congress must follow the evidence, release its findings and impose consequences if the allegations are substantiated. NO partisan protection. NO quiet burial once the headlines disappear.

Do you trust Congress to police its own members?

NEW: Federal judge Brian Murphy has lifted his stay of the termination of TPS for Ethiopians in the US. All Trump admin TPS terminations are now in effect for the below countries, which totals more than 1 million people.

El Salvador is next. TPS for El Salvador is set to end on September 9th and would affect roughly 170,000 Salvadorans in the US who have had TPS protections since 2001.

BREAKING: A federal judge is allowing the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for more than 5,000 Ethiopians living and working in the U.S.

U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston lifted the last remaining judicial block preventing DHS from terminating Ethiopia’s TPS designation.

The decision follows a June Supreme Court ruling that allowed the administration to end similar protections for thousands of people from Haiti and Syria and curtailed judges’ ability to review DHS efforts to terminate TPS designations.

TPS provides eligible nationals of countries experiencing armed conflict, natural disasters or other extraordinary conditions with temporary protection from deportation and authorization to work in the U.S.

The Biden administration first designated Ethiopia for TPS in 2022, citing armed conflict and humanitarian conditions. DHS announced in December that it would terminate those protections, finding conditions no longer prevented Ethiopians from safely returning.

ICE files detainer against a 21-year-old Honduran illegal immigrant charged with a fatal hit-and-run that left a North Carolina father dead in the street.

Mauricio Josue Alberto Sarmiento allegedly struck 51-year-old James Robert Bagley III with his vehicle in Sylva, North Carolina, in the early morning hours of August 2 before fleeing the scene. Officers found Bagley lying unresponsive. He was pronounced dead from his injuries.

DHS confirmed Sarmiento entered the country illegally through Texas as an unaccompanied minor in October 2021, was arrested by Border Patrol — then "reunified" with an unrelated sponsor and released into the country under the Biden administration. He was already driving on a revoked license with an outstanding arrest warrant when the fatal crash occurred.
