Watch: Bradenton Florida police officer delivers pizza because 8-foot gator was sitting in the driveway 🍕🐊

"Sunday, Officer Tolson responded to a report of an 8-foot alligator wandering through the River Isles neighborhood - and intercepted a terrified pizza delivery driver. After ensuring the hungry customer wasn't attacked by an equally hungry gator, Officer Tolson agreed to take the customer's phone and snap a picture for her. FWC trappers relocated the gator away from the neighborhood (and Italian restaurants).

NEW: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons announced today that a review of ICE records found the Biden admin "cooked the books" and "purposely misled the American people" by falsely classifying illegal aliens who were processed by ICE & released into the US as ICE "arrests".

"We found tens of thousands of cases that were recorded as arrests when, in fact, these instances were illegal aliens that were simply processed and released into the American communities," Lyons said. "Some were violent criminals and gang members."

Lyons added that these are what they call "pass through arrests", in which no immigration enforcement action is taken against the aliens, they simply pass through ICE custody before being released into the US interior and told to report to an ICE office.

DHS officials added that none of the ICE arrests under the Trump admin are "pass through arrests".

"What we are doing now is actual immigration enforcement, not enforcement theater," an official said.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt: Trump wants to ‘restore’ the US as the ‘manufacturing superpower’ of the world.

The Biden Admin was cooking the books on illegal alien arrest numbers, lying to the American people. Here’s the nitty gritty:

DHS gov & ICE gov discovered that the Biden administration was *purposefully* misleading the American public by categorizing individuals processed and released into the interior of the United States as ICE arrests.  
 
A comprehensive internal review has found that tens of thousands of cases recorded as “arrests” were, in fact, instances where illegal aliens were simply processed and released into American communities. Many of these were violent criminals and gang members.

The Biden administration counted these as arrests even though no immigration enforcement action was taken. 
 
The previous administration directed illegal aliens to report to ICE offices for processing. Instead of putting these aliens into detention and holding them until their immigration hearing, they were just released into American communities. Fraudulently, ICE was directed to count these processing encounters as arrests even though no immigration enforcement action was taken.  
 
Many outlets have reported on the fact that during fiscal year 2024, ICE made 113,431 arrests — and that’s true, we did — but the vast majority of those were what we call “pass-through” arrests. 
 
We call them pass-through arrests because we didn’t take enforcement actions against these aliens. They just passed through ICE before they were released in the U.S. interior and told to report to an ICE office. None of the arrests made by ICE since January 20th are pass-through arrests. What we are doing now is actual immigration enforcement, NOT enforcement theatre.   

The American people should know the truth. It’s telling what reporters have actually reported on this vs. those who bury it."

On Saturday, March 8, 2025, California Highway Patrol officers stopped a large group of motorcyclists driving dangerously on Interstate 5 and Interstate 805. Officers issued citations to 30 riders and impounded their motorcycles after they performed risky stunts, blocked traffic, and for being active spectators.

The incident began around 8 a.m. when the group entered northbound I-805 at Imperial Avenue. The riders started performing stunts and driving recklessly, slowing traffic for approximately 24 miles. By 8:30 a.m., the group exited I-5 at Via De La Valle in Solana Beach, where CHP officers swiftly moved in and directed the riders into a parking lot.

Officers detained the riders, conducted a traffic enforcement stop, and issued 30 misdemeanor citations for street racing, reckless driving, and being active spectators to the illegal activity.  The CHP also impounded all 30 motorcycles involved.

Please keep in mind under California law, it is a misdemeanor to be knowingly present as a spectator within 200 feet of an illegal motor vehicle sideshow, speed contest, or reckless driving exhibition, or to be present at a location where preparations are being made for such an event.

Make no mistake – if caught driving in a sideshow or being a spectator, you’ll face serious criminal charges and potentially thousands in fines/ vehicle impound fees

Jason Rantz on Washington Democrats’ reckless sentencing proposal:

Even Democrats are now admitting this is insane. Convicted murderers, sentenced to decades behind bars, could now go before a board and argue for early release—just because they “pinky swear” they’ve changed. Victims’ families were promised justice. Now they’re being told, never mind.

Joe Gebbia, co-founder of Airbnb, isn't with DOGE for a paycheck, just like many others. They're not looking for awards or kudos. They're looking to serve our great nation. They're looking to find waste - regardless of whether it's Democrats or Republicans who are responsible for it. We hope that Airbnb ignores the sniping of the whiny few and keeps Gebbia on the board.

BIGGEST DEREGULATION IN HISTORY

Lee Zeldin: The left is attacking us for saving taxpayers trillions and following through on what Americans voted for. Today, we took the most significant deregulatory action ever, lowering costs so people can afford a home and heat it.

And no, this won’t give us bad air and water. We can protect the environment without bankrupting the country.
