The New England Patriots dodged a bullet Sunday during a celebrity softball game.Running back Rhamondre Stevenson, who caught a fourth quarter touchdown from Drake Maye in the Super Bowl, suffered an injury scare during the softball game hosted by Maye when comedian Matt Rife rolled up on Stevenson’s leg during a rundown that had Patriots fans gasping for air.In a video posted on social media by Boston reporter Marlee Wierda, Stevenson’s left leg can be seen bending awkwardly as Rife lost his balance trying to run to second base during the rundown. Stevenson can be seen getting up and smiling about the incident, but the video speaks volumes.ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!”Half the Patriots beat the s–t out of me,” Rife joked on Instagram Sunday night after the nearly catastrophic incident. To his credit, like Pete Rose entering an MLB All-Star Game in the 1970s, Rife came to play. The 30-year-old Ohio native started the game with a triple to right-center, followed that up with a ground-rule double and then nearly caused a riot by falling into Stevenson’s knee like Rose taking out Ray Fosse in 1970.Sticking to his bad boy softball image, Rife refused to say he was in the wrong for his Pete Rose antics. “(T)rying to earn a roster spot u gon put yourself on witness protection in Massachusetts.. watch aht,” a Patriots fan fired back at Rife, who refused to give an inch. The guy was there to win the game.”Crowded baseline, had to do it,” he replied on an Instagram post where Patriots fans were ripping him for being a modern-day Charlie Hustle.Guess who won the game where the Patriots nearly lost a running back? That’s right, just like Rose’s National League team in 1970, Rife’s team got the win and the comedian let everyone on Twitter know all about it.

SANTA MONICA, CA — Beach volleyball legend and Los Angeles native Christopher ‘Sinjin’ Smith is touting Spencer Pratt’s “disrupter” mayoral campaign and explained why he believes Pratt has tapped into voter frustration over the glaring issues facing the city. “It doesn’t surprise me at all that Spencer is resonating with the people of Santa Monica and LA in general, because he’s saying common-sense things,” Smith, the first volleyball player to win 100 career tournaments during a storied Hall of Fame career that earned him the nickname “King of the Beach,” told Fox News Digital. “We’ve all seen the news and everything else of what’s been going on for the past years and how things aren’t as good as they could be, and Spencer steps in and goes. This doesn’t make any sense, particularly with the fires, and things could be a lot better. And I believe that he’s really going to try to make things better for everybody. This isn’t a political thing, I don’t think at all, I think it’s more, how do you make the lives of all people from Los Angeles better? And he’s hitting all the key points, and it seems like he could be the guy.”Smith, who was born in Santa Monica and has lived in Los Angeles for the entirety of his life, including in the Pacific Palisades, told Fox News Digital that Pratt feels like the man for the moment. REALITY TV STAR SPENCER PRATT GAINS TRACTION IN LOS ANGELES MAYORAL RACE AFTER FIERY DEBATE”What’s been going on in the city of LA has been going on for a long, long time, as long as I’ve been around,” Smith explained. “I think a lot of people in LA have been waiting for someone like him, somebody with common sense who speaks logically and is willing to do the tough things to make our town better.”The devastating Palisades wildfire came within a few miles of Smith’s Santa Monica home and several of his friends lost everything they owned in the tragedy that many believe Mayor Karen Bass, who is running for re-election, didn’t do enough to prevent, respond to, or rebuild from.THE CELEB ENDORSEMENTS BOOSTING SPENCER PRATT’S CHANCES OF BECOMING THE NEXT LA MAYORSmith said he has met Bass and that she is a “very nice lady,” but for “whatever reason,” it “doesn’t seem like she wants to do the hard work to make things better for people.””Particularly when you have the fire and so many different things that went wrong before the fire, during the fire, after the fire,” Smith said. “It seems like anything and everything that could go wrong went wrong, and leadership is the key for all of that. Again, very nice lady, but if she’s not willing or not capable of doing the things that are gonna help the people of LA, then what’s the point? I think you have to try something different and, again, politics out of it.”While the city of Santa Monica is one of several independent municipalities that do not vote in the LA mayor race, the winner’s policies will impact all residents of Los Angeles County, and Smith believes that Pratt’s outsider status is necessary to shake up the institutional problems like homelessness, fraud and crime.”Spencer Pratt is the kind of person that he’s been on the outside for so long, he’s seen all this bad stuff that’s going on, and he’s going, why is it like this? And it doesn’t have to be,” Smith said. “So yeah, I really get a sense that he wants to come in, he wants it to change things, he wants to disrupt everything that’s been going on in the past and change it for the better. It just makes logical sense. All the things that he’s been saying, and I certainly hope that if he does get into office, he’s able to accomplish the things that he wants to accomplish, because it’ll be good for everybody.”Pratt will face off in the mayoral primary on Tuesday night against Bass and progressive city council member Nithya Raman in an election where the top two candidates will move on to the November general election. However, if a candidate receives 50% of the vote, they become the next mayor outright.

Former Prince Andrew is reportedly under investigation again for inappropriate conduct with a woman at Royal Ascot.According to The Sunday Times, Thames Valley Police are “examining events in 2002 as they consider wider possible crimes by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, including sexual misconduct, ­corruption and fraud.”The alleged incident reportedly took place at the famed racing festival, which was attended by multiple members of the royal family, including Queen Elizabeth, King Charles, Prince Edward, and Andrew’s oldest daughter, Princess Beatrice.FORMER PRINCE ANDREW FACES WIDENING MISCONDUCT PROBE AS POLICE LAUNCH WITNESS HUNTRepresentatives for Andrew and Thames Valley Police did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.Buckingham Palace has previously told Fox News Digital that the palace doesn’t answer for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor because he’s no longer a working royal. Hilary Fordwich, British royals expert, told Fox News Digital that the royals are “bracing themselves regarding more revolting revelations.”EX-PRINCE ANDREW TOLD ROYAL STAFF TO ‘F OFF’ IN ENTITLED OUTBURSTS: PRINCESS DIANA’S FORMER BUTLER”The debauchery and disgusting behavior of Andrew was known, as more who felt constrained by protocol are now talking, there will be more, such as Ascot, close to where Queen Elizabeth II was at the time.”Regarding the latest claim, royal broadcaster, Ian Pelham Turner, said “many more stories” regarding Andrew’s behavior are bound to surface.”Allegedly, the woman in question was a waitress at the event,” Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital. “Very few details have been released at the moment as there is a further police investigation now happening. Andrew has a long record of rudeness to staff, shouting and swearing at them and going against strict protocol rules over security.””Royal Ascot is one of the favorite destinations of the year for the royal family and certainly during the Queen’s time, she would love to watch her own horses, bred in her own stables, race,” he continued. “There have been growing rumors that many more stories are surfacing regarding misdeeds by Andrew and a growing public dislike for the former prince.”CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERLast month, Andrew was at the center of another misconduct probe by police as British investigators assessed allegations tied to Jeffrey Epstein and alleged sex crimes at royal properties.At the time, Thames Valley Police were urging potential witnesses to come forward as they examined claims that Epstein allegedly sent a woman to have sex with a man, seemingly Andrew, at a residence in Windsor in 2010.”On 19 February 2026, a man in his sixties from Norfolk was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office,” police said in the statement. “He was interviewed under caution and released under investigation on the same day. Two addresses, in Berkshire and in Norfolk, were searched.”FORMER PRINCE ANDREW’S EX-ASSISTANT EMERGES AS ‘KEY WITNESS’ IN HIS INVESTIGATION: EXPERTS”Following the arrest and search activity, we have been working with the United States Department of Justice to get further information that may be related to this investigation,” police said. “We have also been working with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in the United Kingdom and have sought early investigative advice from them as we would in serious, complex, or sensitive cases.””We are also speaking with a number of witnesses; however, as per national guidance, we cannot confirm or deny the identities of these individuals,” the statement read.Thames Valley Police arrested Andrew on Feb. 19, 2026, his birthday, on suspicion of misconduct in public office.LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

EU’s ‘green’ agenda is a recipe for disaster.
You know the suicidal environmental policies emanating from Brussels are about to be ditched when even members of the Polish liberal government led by PM Donald Tusk are openly criticizing it.
Tusk was elected with a clear mandate to bring Poland closer to the EU after the conservatives from PiS had bucked the Globalist agenda on so many fronts.

But it turns out that the European Union has become so radicalized that even Tusk’s liberals can’t stomach it anymore.
EU cheerleaders from POLITICO hosted an Energy & Climate Forum in Brussels today, where Secretary of State Krzysztof Bolesta said the EU was ‘moving too fast’ in its emissions cut plans targeting heavy industry.

Politico reported:
“The speed at which the EU is pushing its industry to cut carbon emissions under the Emissions Trading System is ‘insane’, according to Poland’s deputy climate and environment minister [Krzysztof Bolesta].
[…] ‘This is insane. And it’s not one industry branch, it’s quite a few. So, for me, this topic is actually something that we need to change’, he said, adding the current trajectory would hand the EU ‘the moral high ground, but we’ll have no industry’.”

An artificial intelligence-powered software failed to notice that a nurse at a Tennessee hospital was stealing fentanyl for several months, CBS News first reported on Monday.
Anesthesia team members at Erlanger Baroness Hospital in Chattanooga became concerned when a nurse appeared to be slurring his speech and having difficulty staying awake while working in the surgery center in June 2025, CBS News reported, citing a Tennessee Board of Nursing consent order. The order indicates that the nurse later failed a drug test and was removed from his role.
The nurse later conceded that he had taken and misused leftover fentanyl from surgeries over the course of several months, in some cases daily, according to CBS News.
The hospital relies on Sentri7, a medication-monitoring software that utilizes AI and is supposed to detect missing drugs faster than humans can, the outlet reported. Sentri7 was apparently unable to detect missing drugs at Erlanger for several months and also failed to notice other “inconsistencies” that “should have been flagged,” per the consent order.
André Rebelo, a spokesperson for Wolters Kluwer — the Dutch technology company that created Sentri7 — declined to answer CBS News’ questions about what occurred at Erlanger but maintained that the company is “confident in our software.”
Wolters Kluwer and Erlanger Baroness each did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
U.S. healthcare facilities are notably not required to disclose whether they use this type of AI software or divulge any errors, CBS News reported.
“The ideal for patients, caregivers, and [hospital] systems would be when an AI is found to be making some type of error, that becomes very transparent and public,” David Rastall, a Johns Hopkins Medicine neurologist and AI researcher, told CBS News.
Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System Medication Safety and Quality Director Jacob Smith told the outlet that he does not understand how AI-powered software like Sentri7 could miss the drug diversion that occurred at Erlanger.
“I’ve never myself seen these technologies be called out in that specific way,” Smith said. “It doesn’t make sense to me how you could miss it.”
Drug diversion refers to the illegal distribution or abuse of prescription drugs or their use for purposes not intended by the prescriber, according to a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services fact sheet. An estimated 10-15% of all healthcare workers will abuse drugs or alcohol while working in the industry, according to Wolters Kluwer. About 10% of medical professionals will divert opioids or other substances at some point during their professional career,
Fentanyl is currently the primary driver of drug overdose deaths in the U.S., according to the Government Accountability Office.
The new report comes as the use of AI technology has become more widespread across the U.S. healthcare system in recent years. Experts previously told the DCNF that AI can be a useful tool for things like cancer detection and analyzing medical data.

‘Los Gatos Party Mom’ Sentenced To 35 Years For Throwing Drunken Teen Parties

Authored by Dylan Morgan via The Epoch Times,

A Los Gatos, California, woman was sentenced on May 28 to 35 years and 10 months in prison, the maximum allowed, for hosting parties for young teenagers where she brought alcohol and egged on sex acts.

Shannon O’Connor, 52, threw these parties for two years and discouraged teens, who were mostly 14 and 15 years old, from telling their parents or police about the parties or calling for help when one of the victims passed out in their own vomit. 

“Many people call this defendant the ‘Los Gatos Party Mom.’ This isn’t some fun parent giving sips of wine spritzers to kids. She facilitated dangerous and drunken sex acts with these children. She risked their lives and damaged their psyches. She is not a party mom. Shannon O’Connor is a convicted felon. Shannon O’Connor is a registered sex offender,” Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said.

O’Connor, also known as Shannon Burga, was convicted of 48 charges, including child abuse charges and two felony sex charges, in March.

Twenty young adults and 41 witnesses testified during the trial.

Thursday’s sentencing followed two days of testimony from the victims on O’Connor’s teen parties she hosted for two years, including one young woman who told the court she became suicidal from trauma induced by the parties.

At one party, O’Connor handed an underage teenager a condom and pushed him into a room with an intoxicated minor. 

At a separate New Year’s Eve party with about five 14-year-olds, O’Connor watched and laughed as a drunk teen sexually battered a young girl in bed.

In another incident, O’Connor brought a drunk teen into a bedroom where an intoxicated 14-year-old girl was lying in bed, according to prosecutors.

After the girl was assaulted, she said to O’Connor, “Why did you leave me in there with him? Like you knew, like what he was going to do to me.”

In another case, O’Connor let a minor drive her SUV in the Los Gatos High School parking lot while two other teens held onto the back, and one was knocked unconscious after falling off.

In some cases, she would text teens or message them on Snapchat to leave their homes in the middle of the night and drink at her house, where she would provide alcohol.

“[O’Connor] endangered their safety, coordinated their sexual assaults, and she tried to get them not to tell,” Rosen said. “These brave kids came forward to tell the truth about what happened and to put a stop to it.”

Three Latvian climbers died and a fourth survived after a fall on Wednesday near Denali Pass on Alaska’s Mount McKinley.Four members of a seven-person climbing expedition fell near Denali Pass, about 2,100 feet below the mountain’s 20,310-foot summit, according to Reuters.The Latvian Mountaineering Association identified the deceased climbers as Inese Puceka, Vija Olte and Renars Kunigs-Salaks, the outlet reported.ONE MAN TURNED A GLOBAL SKYSCRAPER INTO HIS MOST DANGEROUS DESTINATION OF ALL: ‘PRETTY SURREAL’The association said a fourth climber, Mārtiņš Bilzēns, survived the fall and was in critical condition.Rescue crews from the National Park Service evacuated the surviving climber on Thursday from a basin at approximately 17,200 feet.Challenging terrain and weather conditions prevented a helicopter from landing.That required rescuers to use a long-line extraction system before transporting the climber to Kahiltna Base Camp and later to a hospital, according to the National Park Service.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERThe three remaining members of the expedition who were not involved in the fall returned to High Camp after assisting their climbing partners, park officials said.Following the rescue efforts at high altitude, all three experienced declining physical conditions and were evacuated from the mountain Friday.Recovery efforts for the three climbers who died remain ongoing as weather, terrain and mountain conditions continue to affect access to the site, park officials said.The accident occurred near Denali Pass, one of the most hazardous sections of the mountain. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIESThe stretch between High Camp and Denali Pass has been the site of numerous injuries and fatalities over the years, with many incidents involving unprotected falls, according to reports. Mount McKinley, also known as Denali, rises about 20,310 feet above sea level and is considered one of the most demanding climbs in North America.The mountain’s steep slopes, glaciers, rapidly changing weather and extreme altitude create significant challenges even for experienced climbers.TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZOnly about 1,000 to 1,200 climbers attempt to reach the summit each year, most during the May and June climbing season. Less than half of those who attempted the climb last year successfully reached the top, according to park statistics.More than 130 people have died on the mountain throughout the park’s history.Fox News Digital reached out to the National Park Service for further comment.Reuters contributed reporting.

Former U.S. Customs and Border Protection Chief and Remigration Summit Organizers via Remigration Summit X Account
Europe’s burgeoning insurrection against mass demographic shifts—and the subsequent carnage and tragedy that have ensued over the past decade—is no longer merely the province of disaffected electorates, scattered protests, or insurgent parties securing unprecedented electoral breakthroughs. It is rapidly coalescing into a structured, transatlantic, and increasingly explicit counter-movement.
Around 500 activists, political figures, commentators, and immigration-policy voices from Europe and North America gathered Saturday in the Portuguese coastal city of Figueira da Foz for what organizers described as Europe’s largest remigration summit to date. The event marked a major step in the effort to turn public anger over mass migration into a coherent political program.
The summit brought together figures from Germany, Austria, Spain, Britain, the United States, Canada, and beyond. Its central theme was simple: Western nations have the right to defend their borders, restore social cohesion, and reverse migration policies imposed by out-of-touch ruling elites without the consent of their own people.
Proponents of remigration, despite what regime journalists on the globalist liberal-right and left, may say, generally use the term to describe the return of illegal migrants and certain foreign nationals, usually those who’ve committed crimes in the country, back to their countries of origin. For its advocates, of which there appears to be an ever increasing number of, the concept is not radical at all, but a logical response to decades of open-border ideology, asylum abuse, failed integration, and cultural displacement.
The gathering reflected the fact that the debate surrounding mass immigration has become the defining fault line of Western politics. From Germany’s AfD to Spain’s Vox and the Restore Britain party—and even President Donald Trump’s repeated embrace of the term “remigration” and his renewed mass deportation agenda in the United States —national conservative and populist forces are increasingly speaking the same language.
Organizers framed the summit as a strategic meeting for those who believe Europe has reached a breaking point. Public services are increasingly strained, cities are socially fragmented, crime concerns are rapidly rising, and millions of voters feel their countries have been transformed beyond recognition without their consent.
One of the summit’s most prominent guests was former U.S. Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino, whose presence underscored the growing connection between American immigration enforcement and Europe’s rising sovereigntist right. Bovino was welcomed by attendees eager to hear from someone with direct experience in the border-security fight.

“I am very happy to come over and lend some expertise to the Europeans” to tackle “illegal aliens destroying European culture,” Bovino told reporters during an impromptu press conference outside the venue.
Europe and America, he argued, are facing the same civilizational challenge: mass migration without assimilation, enforced by political classes that attack their own citizens for noticing the consequences.
The conference was co-organized by Austrian activist Martin Sellner, one of Europe’s best-known advocates of remigration. Sellner has long argued that Europeans must recover the right to speak openly about identity, demographic change, and cultural survival.

“We have a very neurotic relationship to our own ethnicity, our own ethno-cultural identity and I think we need to overcome that,” Sellner told reporters.
That sentence captured the core of the summit’s message. European elites have long treated concern for native identity as shameful, while treating mass migration as inevitable, moral, and above and beyond democratic challenge.
The summit rejected that entire framework. Speakers and attendees argued that nations are not hotels or mere economic zones, borders are not obsolete, and citizenship cannot be reduced to paperwork detached from culture, history, and loyalty.
The political presence at the event was significant. Germany’s Alternative für Deutschland, Spain’s Vox, British nationalist circles, and American immigration hawks were all represented in various forms.
AfD federal parliament member and party co-founder Kay Gottschalk attended, describing himself as present “to listen” and as “a visitor.” AfD Brandenburg parliament member Lena Kotré addressed the summit from the stage, while North Rhine-Westphalia parliament member Sven Tritschler also took part.

The AfD’s presence carried obvious weight. The party has surged in Germany by challenging the post-Merkel immigration consensus and giving voice to voters who believe mass migration has damaged public safety, housing, schools, and national identity.

Spain’s Vox was represented by MPs Rocío de Meer and Carlos Quero, both listed among the summit’s speakers. Vox has built its appeal around Spanish sovereignty, opposition to illegal migration, and resistance to the globalist project that has dominated Brussels politics for decades.

British activist Sammy Woodhouse, a supporter of Restore Britain, also attended. Her presence highlighted the British dimension of the crisis, where grooming-gang scandals, illegal Channel crossings, and years of weak enforcement have fueled deep public anger.
The summit was not merely a policy seminar, but a warning to the European establishment that the era of suppressing immigration dissent through smears, lawfare, and bureaucratic intimidation may be running out.
That point was dramatized by the case of German activist Max Märkl, spokesman for Identitäre Bewegung Deutschland. German federal police stopped him at Munich Airport and issued a temporary travel ban before the summit.
Authorities reportedly argued that his participation could damage “the reputation of the Federal Republic of Germany.” They also claimed that the concept of remigration is incompatible with Germany’s constitutional order.
Märkl, instead of accepting the ban, drove 22 hours from Germany to Porto, then appeared at the summit and displayed the travel-ban document that had been placed in his passport.
Summit attendees saw Märkl’s treatment as proof that European governments which failed to control their borders now want to control the speech—and, ironically, the free movement—of those who demand borders be restored. The message from the state appears to be that mass migration is allowed and will continue, but organizing against it is treated as a threat.
That dynamic has become familiar across Western Europe. Right-wing, sovereigntist parties are surveilled, activists are deplatformed, bank accounts are closed, events are disrupted or banned, and mainstream press routinely brands immigration any form of pushback or dissent as ‘extremism.’
Yet, it appears that the harder the establishment pushes, the more powerful the backlash becomes. Voters who were once dismissed as fringe are now electing national-conservative, immigration restrictionist parties, driving establishment coalitions into crisis, and forcing the top of mass immigration to the center of every major election.
The summit’s critics describe remigration as a dangerous far-right concept. Supporters argue that this accusation is designed to shut down debate before it begins.
They say the real extremism is not deporting illegal migrants or reforming asylum law. The real extremism, they argue, is forcing nations to absorb endless migration flows while criminalizing the political demand to reverse the damage.
The word “remigration” remains controversial, including among some right-wing parties. France’s National Rally, for example, has often avoided the term, preferring language focused on border enforcement, national preference, and deportation of illegal migrants.
But the Portugal summit showed that a harder and more direct vocabulary is gaining confidence. Activists believe voters are tired of coded language and want leaders willing to say plainly that mass migration must not only be slowed, but reversed.
Developments in the United States have strengthened that confidence. President Trump used the term during the 2024 campaign, writing that his immigration plan would return illegal migrants “to their home countries,” adding that this was “also known as remigration.”
Trump later warned at the United Nations General Assembly in 2025 that European countries were being “ruined” by migration and urged leaders to abandon what he called the failed experiment of open borders. For summit attendees, that was confirmation that the debate has moved from the margins to the center of Western politics.
The U.S. State Department has reportedly explored the creation of an “Office of Remigration” as part of a broader restructuring focused on returning migrants to their countries of origin. This significance, for many in Europe, is obvious: what was once denounced as unspeakable is now being discussed in policy terms.
Jean-Yves Le Gallou, a veteran figure of the French right and former European Parliament member, told attendees that when the president of a major power uses a word, it can no longer be dismissed as irrelevant. In other words, the establishment no longer controls the language.
Bovino amplified the same theme online during the weekend after violence erupted in Paris following Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League victory. Sharing footage from the unrest, he wrote that the scenes were not simply “youths celebrating.”

Paris tonight: scooters blazing, streets in chaos after the soccer win. Same movie, different night.
This isn’t “youths celebrating.” It’s the predictable downstream result of mass immigration without assimilation.

“It’s the predictable downstream result of mass immigration without assimilation,” Bovino wrote. “Import the Third World, get Third World behavior. France is the preview. America is next. Mass deportations and remigration aren’t extreme, they’re urgent survival policy for the West.”
In another post, Bovino argued that immigration remains Trump’s strongest issue and warned against watering down deportation policy. “You don’t win by running away from your strongest issue,” he wrote. “Mass deportations are the solution to perpetual victory!”
The bluntness of Bovino’s remarks matched the mood in Portugal. The summit’s participants are no longer asking permission to discuss migration in terms approved by Brussels, Berlin, Paris, or legacy media editors.
Instead, they are building a political vocabulary rooted in sovereignty, identity, deportation, and democratic self-defense. Their argument is that Western nations have the right to survive as recognizable nations.
Mainstream regime journalists were restricted from entering the venue, while invited influencers were permitted inside. Organizers and attendees defended the arrangement by arguing that mainstream media has spent years demonizing their movement rather than reporting on it honestly.
The access dispute reflected a broader breakdown of trust, with a growing many arguing legacy media are not neutral observers but enforcers of the same globalist consensus that produced the immigration crisis in the first place.
The summit also highlighted a strategic split on the right. Some parties want to moderate their language as they move closer to power, while activists argue that moderation too often becomes surrender.
For the remigration camp, the lesson of recent years is that polite immigration skepticism is not enough. They believe Western countries need concrete return policies, stricter naturalization laws, deportation enforcement, and legal reforms to overcome courts and bureaucracies that obstruct removal.
That message is gaining traction because many across Western civilization no longer believe establishment promises. They have heard decades of assurances about integration, diversity, labor shortages, humanitarian obligations, and border management, only to see parallel societies, political fragmentation, and mounting social distrust.
The Portugal summit placed those grievances into a broader ideological frame. It was not only about immigration numbers; it was about whether peoples have a right to defend their continuity.
The remigration debate is likely to intensify across Europe and the United States as elections approach and migration remains one of the top public concerns. National-conservative parties are rising because they are willing to say what establishment parties spent years forbidding voters to say.
The gathering in Portugal showed that the movement is no longer local, isolated, or apologetic. It is coordinated, international, and increasingly convinced that history is moving in its direction.
And that, for Europe’s current ruling establishment, ought to be the real warning: voters are not becoming any less concerned about mass migration; rather, they are becoming more organized.

The fund could pay people alleging the legal system was “weaponized” against them, which raised concerns among lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. Schumer stated in a Dear Colleague letter that Democrats will lead a coordinated effort to “shut the fund down” and force Republicans to vote on it.
“This week, Senate Democrats will launch a coordinated effort to kill the slush fund before one cent goes out the door,” Schumer wrote. “And no matter what Republicans do, we will force them to vote. If Republicans return to reconciliation, we will be ready with amendments to shut the fund down. If they try to bury the issue, we will force them to the Senate floor. If they try to sneak behind appropriations, we will fight them there too. There will be no escape hatch. No fake guardrails or backroom promises to hide behind. No Justice Department announcement that makes this corruption acceptable.”

Schumer accused Trump of using the fund for his own “corrupt” purposes. He claimed the fund had no real oversight and could hand out taxpayer funds to “MAGA loyalists,” Capitol rioters and Trump’s political allies.
“Republicans are scrambling for a way out — not to end the corruption, but to manage it. That will not be enough. You do not fix a corrupt slush fund by promising to manage it better. You end it,” Schumer continued.
A handful of Senate Republicans expressed concern that payments would be handed to January 6, 2021, Capitol rioters who assaulted Capitol Police officers. Republicans opposed to the fund included Sens. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Katie Britt of Alabama, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune appeared skeptical of the fund, telling reporters he was “not a fan.”
Since many Republicans oppose the fund and want more guardrails, Democrats might seek to offer amendments to restrict, block or add oversight to the fund when the $72 billion immigration enforcement package is on the floor, which could seriously threaten the package’s passage. If enough Republicans support Democrats on restricting or blocking the fund, it could be added into the final version of the bill’s text, which raises the likelihood of Trump vetoing the bill.
The fund is part of a settlement agreement between Trump and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to end a civil lawsuit filed in January over the leak of his tax returns by an independent contractor.
A federal judge in Alexandria, Virginia, temporarily blocked the government in a Friday ruling from moving forward with the fund while litigation is pending to challenge it. The ruling may not stop senators from wanting to add language to the package that restricts or blocks the fund.
