In a moment of courage, female fencer Stephanie Turner made a bold stand—and paid the price.

At a recent fencing tournament at the University of Maryland, Turner was scheduled to face Redmond Sullivan, a man claiming to be a woman competing in the women’s division. As the match was about to begin, Turner took a knee, removed her fencing mask, and refused to fence.

Her protest? That biological men should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports.

The response was swift and severe. Turner received a black card—the harshest penalty in fencing—effectively disqualifying her from the event and potentially jeopardizing her future in the sport.

The USA Fencing claim of being “inclusive,” is in fact exclusive. It excludes biological women from having a place of their own.

“This man can compete in the men’s category or in the mixed category, But by choosing to compete in the women’s category, he’s taking away a spot that belongs to a woman.”

USA Fencing, in a statement, reaffirmed its support for transgender participation and upheld Turner’s disqualification, ignoring the flood of concerns coming from female athletes and supporters on social media.

Turner, once a self-proclaimed lifelong Democrat, says this moment was eye-opening.

“I voted red down the ticket this year. It was like waking up to the lies of the mainstream media.”

She’s not alone. A growing number of women in sports, particularly those on the front lines of competition, are beginning to question policies that, in the name of progress, may be undermining the very protections Title IX was designed to offer.

Turner has publicly criticized USA Fencing for “not listening to women’s objections”—a sentiment that resonates beyond just fencing. Across the sports world, female athletes are voicing concerns, but few seem to be heard.

This isn’t about hatred or discrimination. It’s about fairness, biology, and the integrity of women’s sports. If governing bodies continue to ignore female voices, what does the future of women’s competition look like?

Males are quicker
Males have longer reach
Males are much stronger
But in this tournament Stephanie Turner became more powerful than any male
By taking a knee
And refusing to fight a man

Female Fencer Expelled for Refusing to Compete Against a Man

https://www.alainguillot.com/trumps-trade-war/
The world has been anxiously waiting for clarity on President Trump’s new trade tariffs, and now, we finally have our answer. The administration has announced a mix of blanket and reciprocal tariffs that will impact global trade dynamics significantly.

Breakdown of the Tariffs
The United States will impose a baseline 10% broad-based tariff on its trading partners. On top of that, an additional reciprocal tariff will be applied based on a country’s trade practices. This calculation goes beyond just tariffs; it also takes into account non-tariff barriers, such as currency manipulation, dumping, and value-added taxes (VAT) in regions like the European Union.

Some of the announced retaliatory tariffs include:

China: 34%
European Union: 20%
Brazil: 10%
Canada and Mexico: 10%
India: 15%
Vietnam: 12%
Japan: 14%
President Trump has justified these tariffs on grounds of national security, rather than economic leverage, stating that the U.S. must protect its industries and supply chains from unfair foreign competition.

What’s Next? More Tariffs Coming
The administration has signaled that this is just the beginning. Additional tariffs will be introduced on key sectors, including:

Lumber
Copper
Semiconductors
Pharmaceuticals
Precious minerals
While Canada and Mexico will initially be spared from reciprocal tariffs, they will still face levies tied to border security and fentanyl-related concerns.

Timeline for Implementation
The 10% blanket tariff goes into effect on April 5th at midnight.
The reciprocal tariffs will follow on April 9th.
Impact on Global Manufacturers
Many multinational corporations are already responding by increasing their manufacturing presence in the U.S. to sidestep the tariffs. Some of the companies affected include:

Honda
Hyundai
Volkswagen
Volvo Cars
Stellantis
TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company)
Samsung
LG Electronics
Brazil’s Advantage in Agricultural Trade
One country that stands to benefit significantly from these tariffs is Brazil. If China retaliates by imposing tariffs on U.S. agricultural products, such as soybeans, it will likely increase its purchases from Brazil instead. As one of the world’s largest agricultural exporters, Brazil could gain a stronger foothold in the Chinese market, further cementing its role as a major supplier of food and raw materials.

Israel Drops All Tariffs on U.S. Goods
While most countries are dealing with new U.S. tariffs, Israel has taken a completely different approach—it’s dropping all tariffs on U.S. goods. This is exactly the kind of response Trump was hoping for. By removing trade barriers, Israel is strengthening its economic ties with the U.S. and avoiding any retaliatory measures. Trump has praised this move as an example for other countries to follow.

Canada’s Response
Canada has historically imposed high tariffs on certain industries, especially dairy products, where tariffs can reach 200%. Additionally, Quebec’s non-tariff barriers, such as requiring French-language labeling, remain a key trade issue.

In the wake of these negotiations, Prime Minister Mark Carney has been credited for securing a relatively favorable deal for Canada. Since Justin Trudeau’s resignation, diplomatic tensions have eased. Notably, President Trump has stopped referring to Canada as “the 51st state” and no longer calls its leader the “Governor of Canada.”

Conclusion
These tariffs mark a fundamental shift in global trade policy. While some industries may benefit from increased domestic manufacturing, others will face rising costs and supply chain disruptions. The coming months will reveal whether this aggressive stance will achieve Trump’s goal of reshaping global trade in America’s favor—or whether it will trigger a new wave of economic retaliation from affected nations.

We as Canadians, we have to congratulate our prime minister Mark Caney for a favorable negotiation with president trump. After WOKE Trudeau resigned, president trump stopped calling Canada the 51st state and he stopped calling the prime minister of Canada “Governor of Canada.”

Trump’s Trade War: New Tariffs Reshape Global Commerce

https://www.alainguillot.com/no-transgenders-in-womens-sports/
President Donald Trump has never been one to shy away from bold moves, and his latest directives are stirring the pot once again. In a series of executive actions and public confrontations, he’s tackling issues that many Americans see as plain common sense: defining gender as male and female, keeping boys out of girls’ sports, and flexing federal muscle to make it stick. Here’s how it’s all unfolding—and why it’s about time someone took a stand.

Two Genders: Male and Female, Period
Trump’s administration has made it clear: the federal government will recognize only two genders—male and female—based on biology at birth. This isn’t some radical new idea; it’s a return to the basics that most people have lived by forever. The directive cuts through the noise of modern gender debates, setting a firm line for federal policy. No more confusion, no more endless categories—just the reality of what’s on your birth certificate. For a lot of folks, this feels like a breath of fresh air in a world that’s gotten way too complicated.

Boys Don’t Belong in Girls’ Sports
Then there’s the sports issue. Trump signed an executive order titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” banning biological males from competing in girls’ and women’s athletic events. It’s a no-brainer when you think about it. Women have fought hard for their own space in sports—Title IX didn’t come easy—and letting boys or men compete against them undermines that fairness. Strength, speed, muscle mass—biology matters, and pretending it doesn’t is just unfair to female athletes. Trump’s directive says schools and programs that don’t comply risk losing federal funding. Harsh? Maybe. Necessary? Absolutely.

The Governors’ Dinner: A Stage for Leadership
To drive his point home, Trump invited all 50 state governors to a dinner at the White House in February 2025. It wasn’t just a fancy meal—it was a power move. With the National Governors Association in town, he used the spotlight to push his agenda, laying out his vision for a country that sticks to traditional values. Picture it: governors from every corner of the U.S., red and blue states alike, sitting around the table as Trump makes his case. It’s the kind of bold leadership that gets people talking—and, in one case, arguing.

The Maine Standoff: Trump vs. Janet Mills
That’s where Maine Governor Janet Mills comes in. During the governors’ event, Trump zeroed in on her state’s refusal to follow his sports directive. Maine’s been digging in its heels, letting transgender girls (biological males) compete in women’s sports under state law. Trump didn’t mince words: “Are you not going to comply with that?” he asked Mills directly. She shot back, saying she’d follow “state and federal law.” Trump’s response? “Well, we are the federal law. You better do it, because you’re not going to get any federal funding at all if you don’t. Your voters don’t want this either.” It was a classic Trump moment—blunt, unapologetic, and putting Mills on notice.

Mills didn’t back down right away, promising to “see him in court.” But here’s the kicker: Maine gets over $360 million a year in federal education funds. That’s not pocket change. Trump’s not bluffing when he says he’ll cut it off, and Mills knows it. The pressure’s real.

Maine Universities Cave—Common Sense Wins
Fast forward to March 2025, and the tide’s turning. After the feds paused some funding and gave Maine a 10-day ultimatum, the state’s universities blinked. They’ve agreed to ban biological males from women’s sports teams rather than lose millions in federal dollars. It’s a big win for Trump’s policy—and for fairness. Posts on X lit up with the news, with folks calling it “The Trump Effect” and a victory for girls across the state. Maine’s Governor Mills might still be grumbling, but the universities saw the writing on the wall. Money talks, and so does common sense.

Why This Matters
These aren’t just political stunts—they’re policies that hit home for everyday people. Most Americans don’t want to see their daughters lose scholarships or titles to someone with a biological edge. Polls back this up: a New York Times/Ipsos survey found only 18% think transgender females should compete in women’s sports. Trump’s tapping into that sentiment, and it’s resonating. Sure, critics will cry “discrimination,” but isn’t it discriminatory to female athletes to ignore the physical realities of sex?

The whole country should get behind this. It’s not about hate—it’s about fairness and sticking to what works. Trump’s drawing a line in the sand, and whether you love him or hate him, you can’t deny he’s making waves. Maine’s universities caving is just the start. Who’s next?

Trump’s Common-Sense Policies: Gender, Sports, and a Showdown with Maine

https://www.alainguillot.com/civilizational-suicide/
Europe’s Existential Dilemma: Immigration, Free Speech, and Sovereignty
Europe is at risk of engaging in what U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance has described as civilizational suicide. Through a combination of political choices and ideological rigidity, European governments are failing to uphold the fundamental pillars that have historically defined the continent—sovereignty, cultural identity, and the right to free expression.

The Border Crisis and Cultural Clashes
European nations have been unable—or unwilling—to control their borders effectively. Over the past two decades, millions of immigrants from vastly different cultural backgrounds have arrived, many from regions where values regarding democracy, secularism, and individual freedoms differ significantly from those of Europe.

This has resulted in huge cultural clashes, as Vance warned, where European values are undermined, and parallel societies emerge. These communities often reject key Western principles such as gender equality and free speech, creating deep societal divisions.

Meanwhile, European governments have shown a shocking leniency toward crimes committed by certain groups. In Austria, the ringleader of a gang of 17 migrant men who raped a 12-year-old girl was sentenced to only 15 months’ probation and a $1,000 fine, ensuring that he remains free in society. In Germany, a woman was given a harsher sentence than her rapist of her friend after she called him a “disgraceful rapist pig” on social media. The rapist, part of a gang that sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl, received a suspended sentence and served no jail time, while the woman who criticized him was sentenced to a weekend in jail. These cases exemplify how the justice system often appears more focused on protecting criminals than victims.

The Suppression of Free Speech
Rather than addressing these legitimate concerns, many European governments have taken a different approach: silencing dissent. Under the banner of combating “hate speech” and “misinformation,” authorities have enacted strict regulations limiting what citizens can publicly express.

The UK, for instance, reportedly arrests more people for social media posts than Russia, raising significant concerns about free speech. Germany has also cracked down on speech, even arresting individuals for sharing memes. These policies prevent the public from openly criticizing immigration policies or cultural conflicts, fueling resentment and undermining democratic discourse.

A Call for Sovereignty and Cultural Respect
If Europe is to survive as a distinct civilization, it must first respect itself—its history, its people, and its foundational principles. This means enforcing border controls and ensuring that those who immigrate are willing to integrate and embrace European values. It also means reaffirming the right of European citizens to express their concerns without fear of persecution.

A nation that does not control its borders ceases to be a nation. A civilization that silences its own people while allowing criminal behavior to go unchecked is on the path to decline. As Vice President J.D. Vance warned, Europe must respect its own people and its own sovereignty—or risk losing both.

Civilizational Suicide? How Europe’s Policies Are Undermining Its Future

https://www.alainguillot.com/fabricated-racism-when-false-hate-crimes-shape-the-narrative/
Today, we are going to talk about the false hate crime report involving LaTarsha Brown. When I see how many fabricated racial incidents exist, it makes me realize that the U.S. is not as racist as some people wish it were.

There is even a website that reports fake hate crimes. Take a look, it’s called, drum roll please, “FakeHateCrimes.org.”

When people who constantly complain about racism run out of real incidents to highlight, some resort to making them up.

LaTarsha Brown is an employee at City of Allentown’s Department of Community and Economic Development, Pennsylvania, and also serves as a school board member.

In January 2025, she reported finding a noose on her desk at City Hall. Immediately, the situation escalated.

“We have to take this absolutely seriously because, obviously, this is a serious threat, and it’s also potentially a hate crime.”

Protesters gathered outside, believing the police were not handling the case seriously enough.

The media covered the story extensively, activists and community leaders made speeches, and outrage spread over racism in the workplace. Under mounting pressure, the police decided to escalate the investigation and called in the FBI for assistance.

At this point, LaTarsha Brown started to panic. She had sought attention, but she hadn’t expected the case to gain so much traction that federal authorities would get involved.

As the investigation progressed, Brown became uncooperative. She gave vague statements, and detectives noted that she appeared deceptive.

Eventually, law enforcement conducted DNA tests on the noose. Every City Hall employee willingly provided a DNA sample—except Brown. While others complied to avoid being labeled racist, she refused.

In the U.S., being accused of racism is one of the worst reputational stains a person can face.

Due to her refusal, the police obtained a warrant to compel her to provide a DNA sample. The results confirmed that her DNA was on the noose—not only on the outside but also embedded within the rope fibers.

As a result, she was charged with filing a false police report and tampering with evidence. Both are misdemeanors, meaning she will likely face minimal legal consequences. However, despite her actions, she has retained her job. If a white person had staged a similar hoax, they would likely have faced hate crime charges and immediate termination.

If a white person would have done it, they would have gotten fired. I think the same standards should be applied to her and I think she should lose her job. She has brought disgrace to the black community and to the antiracist movement growing in the U.S. Also, if a hate crime is a felony, hoxing a hate crime and involving the police should also be a felony.

This fake racism is not new news. NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace claimed fake racism over a rope that was used to pull the garage door.

It seems Brown wanted attention—but not this much. She may have sought to portray herself as a victim to gain sympathy and influence public opinion in her favor. Perhaps she believed this would help her politically, encouraging people to support her causes and decisions. However, she didn’t anticipate the case spiraling out of her control and attracting federal scrutiny.

Most Americans are not racist, but some individuals try to convince us otherwise. They gain attention by exaggerating racism and embracing a victimhood narrative. It seems that when it comes to racism, the demand is greater than the supply.

As a society, we would be far better off if we focused on overcoming real challenges rather than fabricating oppression for personal gain.

Fabricated Racism: When False Hate Crimes Shape the Narrative

https://www.alainguillot.com/should-taxpayers-fund-npr-and-pbs-the-left-bias-public-broadcasters/

March 26, NPR CEO Katherine Maher and PBS CEO Paula Kerger testified before the House Subcommittee on a hearing called: “Anti-American Airwaves: Holding the Heads of NPR and PBS Accountable,” focused on allegations of partisan bias within public broadcasting and the ongoing debate over federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which received $535 million from Congress for 2025.

The Accusations Against NPR and PBS
Republicans, accused NPR and PBS of left-wing bias, citing examples such as NPR’s initial dismissal of the Hunter Biden laptop story and PBS’s inclusion of a drag queen on a children’s program.

Among those calling for defunding public media, Representative James Comer (R-Ky.) argued that CPB has become a “left-wing echo chamber” that no longer serves the interests of all Americans. Marjorie Taylor Greene took it a step further, stating that NPR and PBS should be entirely defunded and dismantled, as taxpayer money should not be used to fund what she sees as partisan news organizations.

Adding fuel to the fire, Senator John Neely Kennedy criticized public broadcasting, claiming, “We all know what public radio and public TV are like today: They run from slightly communist to very communist.” He argued that taxpayer money should not subsidize any form of media, regardless of political stance. Representative Eric Burlison echoed this sentiment, pointing out that the U.S. is $36 trillion in debt and should not be allocating funds to media organizations.

NPR’s Response and the Challenge of Perceived Bias
During the hearing, NPR’s Maher acknowledged past missteps, including her own 2020 tweets where she called President Trump a “racist” and a “sociopath.” She also admitted that NPR’s lack of coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop story was an error. However, Maher maintained that NPR is committed to journalistic integrity and pointed out that accusations of bias should be weighed against the broader contributions public media makes to civic discourse.

Yet, when confronted with the fact that all 87 members of NPR’s editorial board are registered Democrats, Maher conceded that this was “concerning.” This acknowledgment has fueled conservative arguments that public media is not politically neutral.

The Future of Public Broadcasting
Despite the heated exchanges, no immediate funding changes were enacted, as CPB funding is secured through 2027. However, this hearing signals that public media will continue to face intense scrutiny. Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly called for NPR and PBS to be defunded, stating, “NPR and PBS, 2 horrible and completely biased platforms, should be DEFUNDED by Congress IMMEDIATELY.”

Should Taxpayers Fund the Media?
The fundamental question at the heart of this debate is whether taxpayer money should be used to fund any form of media. Public broadcasting supporters argue that NPR and PBS provide essential educational and cultural programming that would not survive in a purely commercial environment. Detractors, however, see public media as an outdated model in the digital age, where news and entertainment options are abundant and privately funded alternatives exist.

I align with Senator Kennedy’s perspective: the government should not be in the business of funding media. If a news organization cannot sustain itself through voluntary contributions, advertising, or subscriptions, then it may not be providing content that people truly value. Public broadcasting should stand on its own merit, rather than relying on taxpayer dollars.

The future of NPR and PBS may not be decided overnight, but one thing is certain—this debate is far from over.

Should Taxpayers Fund NPR and PBS? The Left Bias Public Broadcasters

Hundreds Join Gaza’s Largest Anti-Hamas Protest Since War Began

Since Oct 7th, 2023, the people of Gaza have endured immense suffering. Their voices have often been drowned out by war, political agendas, and the iron grip of the terrorist group Hamas. However, in an unprecedented moment of defiance, hundreds of Palestinians took to the streets in northern Gaza this week, demanding that Hamas step down and allow them to live in peace.

A Cry for Liberation
The protest, the largest anti-Hamas demonstration since the war with Israel began, saw young men marching through the streets of Beit Lahia, chanting “Out, out, out, Hamas out.” Their demand was simple: an end to the rule of Hamas, whose control has only brought destruction, economic collapse, and war.

Despite the peaceful nature of the protest, masked Hamas militants quickly intervened. Armed with guns and batons, they forcibly dispersed demonstrators, assaulting several. This violent crackdown reflects Hamas’s longstanding intolerance toward dissent. Instead of addressing the grievances of the people, Hamas chose to silence them through brute force.

Hamas Chooses War Over Peace
The timing of these protests is crucial. Hamas recently rejected an extended ceasefire and the continued exchange of Palestinian prisoners for Israeli hostages, leading Israel to resume its military campaign. This rejection raises a critical question: If the release of hostages could lead to peace, why would Hamas refuse?

The answer lies in Hamas’s priorities. While ordinary Palestinians long for normalcy—food, water, shelter, and safety—Hamas thrives on perpetual conflict. The group’s leadership remains disconnected from the daily struggles of Gazans, prioritizing its political and military objectives over the well-being of the very people it claims to represent.

Voices from the Rubble
Mohammed Diab, a resident of Beit Lahia who lost his home and his brother in an Israeli airstrike, voiced his frustration: “We refuse to die for anyone, for any party’s agenda or the interests of foreign states. Hamas must step down and listen to the voice of the grieving, the voice that rises from beneath the rubble – it is the most truthful voice.”

Diab’s words resonate with countless Gazans who have lost everything. Most of the 2.1 million people in Gaza have been displaced, some multiple times. With 70% of buildings damaged or destroyed, critical infrastructure—healthcare, water, and sanitation systems—has collapsed. The population faces extreme shortages of food, fuel, and medicine. Yet, amid this devastation, Hamas continues to prioritize its survival over the needs of the people.

The West’s Double Standard
As Palestinians in Gaza risk their lives to protest against Hamas’s oppression, one must wonder how Western protesters will respond. Will they stand in solidarity with the people of Gaza in their struggle for freedom, or will they continue to romanticize Hamas as a “resistance movement,” ignoring the voices of those suffering under its rule?

The world must recognize that true support for Palestinians means advocating for their freedom from all forms of oppression—including Hamas. It is time for international communities to listen to the voices rising from the rubble and stand with those demanding peace, dignity, and self-determination.

The question remains: Will the world hear their cries, or will it turn a blind eye once again?

Palestinians Rise Against Hamas: The Largest Protest Since War Began

https://www.alainguillot.com/ice-seeks-to-deport-student-activist-from-south-korea/
Yunseo Chung, a legal permanent resident who has lived in the U.S. since she was seven, was arrested for occupying the lobby of Barnard College’s main library on Wednesday. Her participation in pro-Palestinian demonstrations escalated tensions with school administrators, ultimately leading to several protesters being taken into custody, according to police reports.

Now, because she is not a U.S. citizen, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is seeking to deport her. In response, Chung is suing the Trump administration to prevent her deportation.

Chanting “Free Palestine” and wearing masks and keffiyehs over their faces, the protesters began their sit-in inside the Milstein Center for Teaching and Learning around 1 p.m. Shortly afterward, the school blocked access to the building, disrupting classes.

The demonstrators were demanding the reinstatement of two Barnard students who had been expelled for interrupting a “History of Modern Israel” class on January 21 and distributing fliers, including one depicting a jackboot crushing a Star of David.

The Trump administration has prioritized the detention of pro-Palestinian demonstrators, particularly those who are not U.S. citizens.

Ms. Chung, an English and gender studies major, has participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations since last year. She also faced college disciplinary proceedings twice — including for putting up posters accusing Columbia of “complicity in genocide.”

At this time, she has not been detained by ICE because she is in hiding. However, those assisting her may also face legal consequences.

Protests Have Limits
The First Amendment protects free speech and peaceful protest, but that protection does not extend to illegal activities. The law is clear:

Blocking access to buildings, classrooms, and emergency exits is illegal.
Disrupting classes interferes with academic operations and can violate campus policies.
Vandalism and property damage are criminal offenses.
Threats or violence are never protected under free speech laws.
Trespassing in restricted areas, particularly after hours, is a punishable offense.
Defamation—making false accusations that harm reputations—can lead to legal consequences.
Students should follow the law when protesting issues they disagree with and carefully consider the potential legal consequences of their actions.

ICE Seeks to Deport Student Activist From South Korea

https://www.alainguillot.com/illegal-immigration-and-tragedy-the-case-of-camillia-williams/

The Biden administration’s lax immigration policies have led to tragic consequences, with criminals entering the country unchecked and, in many cases, avoiding deportation even after being caught. A glaring example is the heartbreaking murder of Camillia Williams, a mother of five from Cobb County, Georgia. Her case underscores the urgent need to enforce immigration laws before more innocent lives are lost.

The Tragic Case of Camillia Williams
Camillia Williams was found dead in the woods, brutally strangled and hidden behind bushes in what authorities have called a senseless and random attack. The suspect? A 21-year-old Honduran national who entered the United States illegally in 2021 under Biden’s parole system. Despite being ordered deported in 2023, he remained in the country, evading authorities until it was too late. Now, he faces felony murder and aggravated assault charges.

A Broken Immigration System
This case has reignited the national debate on border security, highlighting the failures of the Biden administration’s immigration policies. According to reports, the suspect was arrested by Border Patrol upon entry in 2021 but was released into the country under the administration’s lenient policies. He was later ordered to be removed but failed to appear for his deportation hearing. Had the system worked effectively, Camillia Williams might still be alive today.

Calls for Justice and Stricter Policies
The murder of Williams has sparked outrage, with Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene calling for the death penalty. “We are mourning the tragic and completely avoidable murder because of Democrats’ open-border and cartel-first policies,” she stated. “Deportation is not enough—GIVE HIM THE DEATH PENALTY!”

Williams’ family also insists that the suspect be tried in the U.S. so justice can be served. However, this case is just one among many in which illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds remain in the country due to failed enforcement.

ICE’s Struggles to Deport Criminals
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been facing an uphill battle in apprehending and deporting criminals who entered under Biden’s watch. The agency is stretched thin, often locating these individuals only after they commit heinous crimes. ICE officers have reported that many violent offenders have been released under Biden’s policies, making their job of securing the country even harder.

The Laken Riley Act and Trump’s Tougher Stance
In stark contrast, former President Donald Trump recently signed the Laken Riley Act into law, which mandates the detention and deportation of undocumented migrants who commit certain crimes. This law was named after another tragic victim of illegal immigration and aims to prevent future atrocities like the murder of Camillia Williams.

A Call to Action: Enforce Immigration Laws Now
The only way to ensure national security is to take decisive action:

Find and deport all criminals who entered illegally
Shut down the flow of illegal immigration entirely
Hold the Biden administration accountable for its failed policies
The tragic death of Camillia Williams should serve as a wake-up call. Americans must demand that their leaders prioritize border security and the safety of their citizens. Without strict enforcement, more lives will be at risk—and more families will suffer the devastating loss that Williams’ loved ones are now enduring.
