(CBS NEWS) — The Trump administration has enacted a pause on all immigration applications filed by migrants from Latin America and Ukraine allowed into the U.S. under certain Biden-era programs, citing fraud and security concerns, according to two U.S. officials and an internal memo obtained by CBS News.

The application freeze will remain in place indefinitely while government officials work to identify potential cases of fraud and enhance vetting procedures to mitigate concerns related to national security and public safety, according to the directive.

The move, which had not been previously reported, threatens to cast a cloud of uncertainty over many migrants who were in the process of applying for various immigration benefits that would allow them to stay in the U.S. legally and, in some cases, permanently.

“60 Minutes” is quickly earning the reputation of being the most fake of all the fake news outlets.

“60 Minutes” is already in court defending their organization after they were caught cutting and pasting Kamala Harris’s interview together to make he look like a normal thinking person.

Now, this past weekend, “60 Minutes” was caught again, this time trying to pass a former speechwriter for USAID chief Samantha Power as a sad and distraught former USAID employee who the Trump administration recently fired.

60 Minutes aired a segment about a sad young mother Kristina Drye who was fired from USAID in Washington DC this month.

But this was a complete lie.

Kristina Drye does not work for USAID. She works for XLA and Jefferson Partners, a company that provides speechwriting services for USAID.

MISLEADING MUCH, 60 MINUTES?

60 Minutes claimed Kristina Drye “was fired this month in the chaotic shutdown of USAID.”

Kristina Drye was Samantha Power’s speechwriter – the former head of USAID!

This entire segment was bullsh*t

Kristina Drye was Samantha Power’s speech writer.

Samantha Power was the former head of the USAID@60Minutes tried to pass off the woman who helped give voice to all of this agency’s corruption as a common civil servant.

In fact 60 Minutes pulled in two communications consultants who were NEVER ACTUAL EMPLOYEES of USAID.

Also… Elon Musk pointed out that these fired employees have 8 months pay. So that was BS too.

But there is much, much more!

Natalie Winters discovered that young leftist Kristina Drye has a blog where she writes nasty, uneducated posts on Donald Trump and his supporters.

Kristina even wrote about eliminating Trump supporters.

Natalie Winters saved all of the archived links.

And before she tries to deny it and delete it, here’s the proof! And archived links 🙂https://t.co/ci1K7wbRZbhttps://t.co/YJNpGJShVRhttps://t.co/ffHnxNmOwAhttps://t.co/4t0YH9O1pT pic.twitter.com/7gR3liYqAB

“60 Minutes” is making a mockery out of legacy media outlets.
They really have lost it.

So will “60 Minutes” apologize for this fake news on their show next week, or no?

This article originally appeared on The Gateway Pundit.com.

The University of Notre Dame’s top academic officer told faculty that hiring women and minorities is “equally important” to the school’s mission as hiring Catholics.

John McGreevy, the university’s provost, outlined the hiring priorities in a faculty-wide Jan. 17 email obtained by the National Catholic Register. The provost argued the “complexity of our mission” called for Notre Dame to implement a new hiring guide, slated to go into effect July 1, to “evaluate candidates equitably.”

“One important goal is to hire Catholic faculty and other faculty deeply committed to our mission to ensure continuity with our past and our future as the world’s leading global Catholic research university,” McGreevy wrote. “A second overlapping and equally important goal is to increase the number of women and underrepresented minorities on our faculty so that we become the diverse and inclusive intellectual community our mission urges us to be.”

The email prompted Scott Yenor, a political scientist at Boise State University, to write an extensive analysis of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies at Notre Dame for the Claremont Institute. His report estimated the university hosted 167 DEI-related events and spent roughly $6 million on diversity personnel salaries in 2024.

In announcing the university’s DEI “task force” in 2021, Father John Jenkins, Notre Dame’s president until 2024, said “only in this way can we live up to our Catholic mission.”

McGreevy reportedly sent the email just days before President Donald Trump signed an executive order threatening to cut federal funding to universities promoting DEI policies. The Department of Education’s acting assistant secretary for civil rights, Craig Trainor, also warned universities to eliminate DEI practices or risk losing federal funds. It remains unclear whether these directives will affect Notre Dame, which receives millions in federal research grants annually.

In his executive order, the president said such policies “undermine our national unity, as they deny, discredit, and undermine the traditional American values of hard work, excellence, and individual achievement in favor of an unlawful, corrosive, and pernicious identity-based spoils system.”

Trump also promised to “forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based” and end government programs that “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life,” in his inaugural address.

The University of Notre Dame did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Famous “The Harbinger” author Jonathan Cahn has delivered a prophetic message to members of Congress – and others – during the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C.

It’s a call for revival across America.

“We have this chance. We have this window that we may never have again,” he explained.

WATCH:

He said the “window” that has opened is the re-election of President Donald Trump.

“This is our moment. This is our window.”

He cited the warning from America’s first president. “The propitious smiles of heaven, he said, can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which heaven itself has ordained.”

And now, he judged, “We have turned away from God, we have disregarded His eternal rules of order and right. We have profaned the holy and we have sanctified the profane. We have celebrated evil and condemned and canceled the good.”

But Trump, he said, likening the president to the Old Testament king Jehu.

He said Jehu was “wild, impulsive and unpredictable,” he forged an alliance with religious conservatives, he contended against a former national leader, and then overturned the nation’s temple of Baal and “moved with lightning speed.”

Just like Trump.

He said this time is the window and called for prayers to “let revival fall upon this land.”

The world is facing a demographic crisis, and the consequences are unfolding fast. Nicholas Eberstadt exposes how collapsing birth rates worldwide are triggering economic turmoil, labor shortages, and government panic.

In the U.S., declining population growth threatens Social Security and Medicare, yet mass immigration is pushed as the only solution. But is endless growth really necessary, or is this a manufactured crisis?

The H-1B visa system is displacing American workers, suppressing wages, and sidelining domestic STEM graduates. Beyond policy, this crisis strikes at culture, faith, and identity.

Why are men disengaging from the workforce? Why are families shrinking? Are we witnessing an organic shift – or deliberate societal engineering?

If we don’t challenge these assumptions now, we may wake up to an America we no longer recognize.

(FOX NEWS) — Guns N’ Roses drummer Matt Sorum said that despite singing at a recent charity concert, Steven Tyler won’t be going on tour again.

“It was a really big moment for him because he hurt himself bad,” Sorum told WBAB radio recently of Tyler’s performance at the Jam for Janie Grammy Awards Viewing Party, which benefits his charity Janie’s Fund, after injuring his larynx last year.

“Now is he going to tour again? No, he’s not, and I explain this to people. Steven cannot put himself under the rigors of doing a full worldwide tour because it’s a lot of pressure and if you’re not a singer you wouldn’t understand what he goes through, but he’s 77 years old, and he’s a perfectionist, and if he doesn’t sing correctly, it bothers him.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejects Trump proposal for rare earth minerals 

President Trump wants Ukraine to repay America for all the money that was funneled to them for the war effort during the Biden administration. Zelenskyy isn’t having the 50 percent fee of all its rare earth minerals as repayment, especially since he feels the proposal doesn’t do an adequate job of projecting Ukraine from additional Russian attacks, according to NBC News.
