Democratic Minnesota state senator claims she was checking in on ill loved one during alleged burglary
A Democratic state senator in Minnesota who was charged with first-degree burglary claimed on Tuesday that the incident at her stepmother’s house was a misunderstanding stemming from dementia and its associated paranoia. Sen. Nicole Mitchell, 49, was arrested at a home in the 700 block of Granger Road in Detroit Lakes early Monday after police responded around 4:45 a.m. to a homeowner’s 911 call. Mitchell was found dressed in black clothing and a black hat, and acknowledged that she entered through a basement window, according to a criminal complaint. Mitchell later denied the burglary allegation in a Facebook post, writing that she went to check on “a loved one” with Alzheimer’s after learning of medical information which caused her “grave concern.” “Like so many families, mine is dealing with the pain of watching a loved one decline due to Alzheimer’s and associated paranoia,” Mitchell wrote.

Mitchell allegedly entered through a window and told investigators that she was trying to get her late father’s ashes, photos, a flannel shirt and other items of sentimental value, the criminal complaint said. Mitchell claimed that her stepmother refused to give her the items.

The stepmother told officers that she did not give the laptop to Mitchell, though Mitchell claimed otherwise. Mitchell thanked her colleagues from both the Democratic and Republican Parties for their support, calling the incident “a true tragedy” for her family and hopes that it can remain a private matter. Mitchell, of Woodbury, represents District 47 since she was elected to the state Senate in 2022. She was previously a meteorologist for KSTP-TV and Minnesota Public Radio, and currently serves as a lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Johnson fundraises for House Republican who called Matt Gaetz, Bob Good ‘scumbags’
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is in the middle of yet another intraparty conflict within the House GOP after showing support for one of his vulnerable incumbents on Tuesday. Johnson was in San Antonio this week for a campaign fundraiser held by Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, who is facing a primary challenger backed by members of the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus and their allies. It came days after Gonzales infuriated the GOP rebel group when he called two of his colleagues, House Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good, R-Va., and Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., “scumbags” and compared them to Klansmen in a stunning CNN interview over the weekend. “It’s my absolute honor to be in Congress, but I serve with some real scumbags like Matt Gaetz. He paid minors to have sex with him at drug parties. Bob Good endorsed my opponent, a known neo-Nazi,” Gonzales said. “These people used to walk around with white hoods at night. Now they’re walking around with white hoods in the daytime.” JOHNSON FACES UPHILL CLIMB TO WIN BACK GOP REBELS BEFORE NOVEMBER; HERE’S WHAT THEY WANT The allegations against Gaetz, which he denies, were the subject of a federal probe that prosecutors ultimately decided not to move forward with. Gaetz and Good’s allies seized on the comments and, soon after, on Johnson’s plan to appear with Gonzales. TENSIONS ERUPT ON HOUSE FLOOR AS CONSERVATIVES CONFRONT JOHNSON ON $95B FOREIGN AID PLAN It is part of the continued fallout from the House passing Johnson’s $95 billion foreign aid plan for Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific. Johnson’s plan got wide bipartisan support but angered a rebellious faction of House GOP lawmakers who feel increasingly sidelined by Johnson as he navigates critical legislation with a historically slim majority. Johnson’s campaign events are typically planned well in advance, but the backlash to this recent stop shows the historic division that’s plagued the House GOP for much of this Congress. “I’m just beside myself that that’s where things are. And I don’t mind saying it, but I’m going to be very clear. I’m being attacked. Conservatives are being attacked. Bob Good, the chairman of the Freedom Caucus is being attacked by Tony. He said that he’s a Klansman,” Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, said on local radio station KTSA. Gonzales’ opponent, pro-Second Amendment social media personality Brandon Herrera, responded to Gonzales’ comments on X on Sunday shortly after the congressman’s interview. “He has to cry to his liberal friends about me, because Republicans won’t listen anymore,” Herrera wrote. ‘DEFINITION OF INSANITY’: FRUSTRATED HOUSE REPUBLICANS BLAST GOP REBELS’ THREAT TO OUST JOHNSON Gaetz accused Gonzales of “laundering lies on CNN” and pointed out that Gonzales was censured last year by the Texas GOP for his support of gun control measures in the wake of the Uvalde school shooting, which occurred in Gonzales’ district, where 19 elementary school students and two teachers were murdered by an 18-year-old with an AR-15. On Wednesday morning, Gaetz mocked Johnson and Gonzales with a photo from the event and accused them of having “briefed donors in Texas about their hard work to secure the border……of Ukraine.” A source familiar with Johnson’s campaign plans told Fox News Digital that the event with Gonzales was a longstanding stop that was part of a wider campaign season swing through Texas. Gonzales wrote on X of the fundraiser, “Proud to host an incredible crowd for our Fiesta luncheon! Thank you to Speaker Johnson for attending and being a champion for the issues that impact.” Fox News Digital reached out to Gonzales’ campaign for comment on the GOP rebel-led backlash but did not immediately hear back. Fox News Digital reached out to Good’s campaign as well. When reached for further comment by Fox News Digital, Gaetz listed off what conservatives say are Johnson’s legislative shortfalls, including the bipartisan government funding deal, renewal of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), and his support of Gonzales. “Speaker Johnson has undergone a metamorphosis that would make the monarch butterfly blush,” he said.
Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoes bipartisan bill to combat squatting, election bills
Democrat Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs has vetoed a bill aimed at strengthening the rights of homeowners looking to evict squatters from their property, despite the bill being passed in bipartisan fashion and as a wave of squatting cases continue to terrify homeowners across the country. The bill, SB 1129, would have permitted a homeowner to request law enforcement to immediately remove a squatter from their property, had the squatter invaded a home and unlawfully claimed a right to live there. Police, acting on an owner’s affidavit, would have had the permission to immediately go in and have someone evicted. ARIZONA GOV KATIE HOBBS VETOES A BILL BANNING FOOD TAX But Hobbs nixed the bill on Tuesday in a short letter to the president of the State Senate. “Today I vetoed Senate Bill 1129,” Hobbs wrote. “This bill fails to leverage existing legal mechanisms, respect the due process rights of lawful tenants, and minimize unintended consequences such as for victims of domestic violence.” She did not expand on her reasoning. The bill was crafted by state Sen. Wendy Rogers who slammed Hobbs’ decision, the latest in a spate of vetoes issued by the governor. “This bill has absolutely nothing to do with landlord-tenant law and has exemptions for family members and anyone with an agreement to cohabitate,” Rogers said in a statement, questioning whether Hobbs had even read the text of the bill. Rogers said that criminals are scheming to take over homes that aren’t theirs, posing a threat to the safety of homeowners and infringing on their private property rights. ‘COMMONSENSE’ PROPOSAL WOULD STRENGTHEN HOMEOWNERS’ ABILITY TO BOOT SQUATTERS: ‘IT’S INSANITY’ “Although we have trespassing laws, it’s often difficult to prove a person is unlawfully occupying a home and can result in a lengthy legal battle,” Rogers said. Rogers said that homeowners had testified in committee hearings that they felt violated about their property being severely damaged and the high costs of doing repairs. Florida and Georgia have already passed laws strengthening homeowners’ rights against squatters. State Sen. Justine Wadsack said he personally encountered a squatter occupying a home when he was working as a realtor and showing a client. “It was a terrifying threat to my safety, the safety of my clients, as well as to the homeowners,” Wadsack said. “When I called the police, I was told there was not much they could do. It’s a shame Governor Katie Hobbs has vetoed yet another piece of commonsense bipartisan legislation.” The veto was one of 10 measures Hobbs’ nixed on Tuesday, bringing the number of bills she has rejected this legislative session to 52. She issued a record-breaking 143 last year, thumping former Gov. Janet Napolitano’s single-year veto record of 58 in 2005. Hobbs also vetoed a bill that would define who can shower with whom in public schools and legislation requiring enhanced sentences for those convicted of multiple incidents of “organized retail theft,” according to Tucson.com. Hobbs, who faced criticism for her handling of the 2022 midterms and the gubernatorial race in which she was running for governor, also vetoed two election-related bills. Hobbs took office in January 2023 after winning the gubernatorial election against Kari Lake, who never conceded her more than 17,000-vote defeat and repeatedly and unsuccessfully challenged the results in court. She vetoed a bill that would have barred students from other states attending college in Arizona from voting in elections and a bill that would have given candidates for federal office the ability to send an observer to watch the ballot-counting process. That is now limited to those designated by political parties, according to Tucson.com. But Hobbs did sign 12 new measures, including allowing political signs to be erected 71 days before an election, up from 45 and permitting off-duty police officers who are working on private traffic control duty to have red and blue lights on a vehicle. Last month, Hobbs vetoed a Republican-sponsored bill that would have authorized police to arrest illegal immigrants, saying the legislation was anti-immigrant and likely unconstitutional. The bill, called the Arizona Border Invasion Act, would have made it a misdemeanor crime for anyone to illegally cross the border at any location other than a lawful port of entry.

House Speaker Johnson calls on Columbia University President Minouche Shafik to resign
House Speaker Mike Johnson is calling Wednesday for Columbia University President Minouche Shafik to resign over her handling of anti-Israel demonstrations on campus, calling her “very weak” and “inept.” Johnson said during a radio interview with Hugh Hewitt that he is holding a press conference at Columbia University later today “with some of my colleagues from the House Republicans from New York to call on the president of the university to resign.” “This President Shafik has shown to be a very weak, inept leader. They cannot even guarantee the safety of Jewish students? They are expected to run for their lives and stay home from class? It’s maddening,” Johnson said. “What we are seeing on these college campuses across the country is disgusting and unacceptable and every leader in this country, every political official, every citizen of good conscience has to speak out and say that ‘this is not who we are in America.’ And we got to have accountability and that is what my colleagues and I will be working on.” New York House Republicans on Monday, in a joint letter, have called for Shafik to step down. On Wednesday, Columbia University posted on its website that “Student protesters have committed to dismantling and removing a significant number of tents” at an encampment there, among other efforts to ease tensions from the anti-Israel demonstrations. ANTI-ISRAEL CAMPUS PROTESTERS MAKE DEMAND OF ADMINISTRATORS, VOW TO STAY PUT UNTIL UNIVERSITIES MEET IT “We have Jewish students who have actually been physically assaulted, they have been harassed, they have been intimidated and threatened… we need to revoke federal funding to these universities if they cannot keep control,” Johnson said. “We need to revoke these student visas for these violent protesters. You don’t have a right to be here and to do this, but Jewish students have a right to be able to peacefully attend classes. They are trying to get an education. This is just madness. Johnson also told Hewitt that “I’ve seen some of these man on the street interviews with some of these kids who are protesting, you and I both know the vast majority of them have no idea what they are talking about. LIVE UPDATES: ANTI-ISRAEL PROTESTS ON US COLLEGE CAMPUSES “They don’t know the facts, some of them are denying that October 7 even happened. It’s ridiculous,” he continued. “And we are relying on and calling upon and demanding these university officials to get control of the situation, it’s just completely out of control right now.” Johnson also took a swipe at the Biden administration for its handling of the matter, saying “The real problem we have right now is that we are not getting strong leadership, obviously from the White House, or even some Democrats in Congress.” “The White House is caving to the antisemitic – I call it the pro-Hamas wing – of the party right now. They have backpedaled on their support for Israel and you have got members of Congress who refuse to denounce even the chants of ‘Death to America!’, they just go silent, they won’t call that out,” he added. “Some Democrat members of Congress are even calling these antisemitic mobs ‘peaceful protesters’ and defending the harassment and intimidation of all the rest. It’s really become a serious problem and they are allowing mob rule to overtake the American ideals of free speech, the free exchange of ideas and the free exercise of religion. This is not who we are.”
LA mayor break-in suspect was ‘targeting’ Bass, Gascon says: ‘He was looking for her’
The suspect who broke into Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’ home this week did so during a shift change in security and was specifically targeting Bass, District Attorney George Gascón said. The gap in security allowed 29-year-old Ephraim Matthew Hunter to break into the official mayoral residence, known as Getty House, through a glass door. The forced entry triggered an alarm, however, and police quickly responded and arrested Hunter. Los Angeles police delivered a press conference on the details of the case on Tuesday, saying the timing of Hunter’s breaking had been perfect. Police said he hopped over the perimeter wall after the overnight security team had left but before the morning shift arrived. “[Hunter] jumped over the fence quickly, and was able to break in through the back of the house. And to my understanding, this happened so quickly that even if somebody had been there, he probably still would have been able to access the inside of the residence,” interim LAPD Chief Dominic Choi said. MAYOR BASS’ PLAN TO HAVE RICH PEOPLE FUND HOMELESSNESS PROGRAM MIGHT JUST WORK: LA BUSINESS LEADERS Gascón clarified on Tuesday that prosecutors believe Hunter was specifically targeting Bass, who was home at the time with her daughter, son-in-law and grandchild. “We believe that he was targeting the mayor, but this is an ongoing investigation,” Gascón said, adding that “there were actions while he was inside the property that are consistent with the fact that he knew this was the Mayor’s home, and that he was looking for her.” LA MAYOR PLEADS FOR WEALTHY TO HELP BUY HOUSING FOR THE HOMELESS: ‘UNPRECEDENTED PARTNERSHIP’ Hunter is being held on a $100,000 bail and faces two felony charges of residential burglary with people present and vandalism. If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to 13 years in prison. Bass has informed the public that she and her family are “fine,” but she has declined to offer further details.
WATCH: Online videos expose how human traffickers are sneaking illegal migrants into US
Videos being published on TikTok by a smuggler are giving an insight into how illegal immigrants are smuggled across the border, in what one journalist describes as a “brazen” display of illegal activity. The videos, collected by independent journalist Auden Cabello, show migrants moving through gates and marching across territory in northern Mexico, covering their footprints as they go in some cases. Some of them are in camouflage as they make the treacherous trek north to the U.S. border. ICE CHIEF SAYS THIS FOREIGN ADVERSARY ISN’T TAKING BACK ITS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS Eventually, a group is pictured in a car on the highway, suggesting they are in the U.S. and have gotten in as “gotaways” who have evaded Border Patrol. What stood out to Cabello is that the smuggler, who he said posts to Facebook as well as TikTok, didn’t seem to want to hide his activities. “The main thing that stood out is how brazen he is in documenting his whole journey of getting illegals into the U.S. and just what he’s saying… in a way he’s mocking U.S. authorities,” Cabello said in an interview with Fox News Digital. “To him, it makes it very easy to get people across the border illegally,” he said. Cabello, who has reported from both sides of the border, said he has seen videos like this before, but not to this extent, given the detail with which this smuggler documented the whole journey. “There are countless numbers of accounts documenting similar, similar journeys, or crossings of illegals into the U.S.,” he said. BORDER STATE LAWMAKER SOUNDS ALARM ON BLOODTHIRSTY VENEZUELAN GANG ENTERING US But he said most smugglers want to keep their routes secret in case Mexico or other authorities crack down on them. “Most of the smugglers want to keep it secret. They don’t want to disclose their operations, especially on social media, because then they’ll get law enforcement behind them,” he said. Asked whether he thinks the smuggler is showing off or trying to gain more business from other migrants, Cabello said it is both. “It’s both. It’s showing off, and it’s also business because he’s saying, ‘It’s guaranteed, hire me. I’ll get you across easily.’” CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF THE BORDER SECURITY CRISIS The U.S. remains in the grip of a historic border crisis, with data suggesting the number of “gotaways” may be on the rise. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) sources told Fox News that Border Patrol recorded 779 known gotaways on Monday. Fox News Digital reported last week on groups of illegal immigrants being apprehended in the El Paso Sector, as smugglers tried to guide migrants through the mountains while evading Border Patrol.

Chip Roy raises alarms about George Soros’ purchase of radio giant Audacy
FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Chip Roy is accusing liberal billionaire George Soros of trying to fast-track his acquisition of a major radio company through the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). “I write today regarding Soros Fund Management’s acquisition of over $400 million in debt held by Audacy — the second-largest broadcast radio station owner in the country. Of particular concern, the Soros groups are asking the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to approve a change in ownership in Audacy without the FCC running its normal, statutorily required process,” Roy said in a letter. “This transaction, which affects radio stations that reach millions of listeners across the U.S., including in Texas’ 21st congressional district, should — at minimum — be subject to rigorous FCC oversight to ensure U.S. radio stations are not subject to undue influence.” GEORGE SOROS’ SON BECOMES KINGMAKER WITH TOP DEMS AS HE MAKES MULTIPLE WH VISITS, MEETS WITH LAWMAKERS Soros’ investment firm became the largest shareholder of Audacy last month, which owns local radio stations across the country. Audacy filed for bankruptcy earlier this year. Soros Fund Management was involved in a similar corporate restructure last year when it was one of the companies that acquired Vice Media after its bankruptcy filing last year. Now, however, Roy raised alarm over Audacy also requesting that federal officials grant it a temporary exemption to existing FCC rules that forbid foreign company ownership of U.S. radio stations to exceed a 25% share, which would normally slow down the approval process. ALEX SOROS’ ACCESS TO BIDEN’S WHITE HOUSE CONTINUES AS HE’S NOW VISITED AT LEAST 20 TIMES, RECORDS SHOW “But instead of going through the usual petition for declaratory ruling process, which would enable the FCC to review and assess those foreign ownership interests as part of its transaction review, the Soros group has asked the FCC to waive that process and put it off until sometime down the road — indicating that those foreign stakeholders will be given ‘special warrants’ in the meantime,” Roy wrote. “The Soros group says that skipping the foreign ownership review at this time will enable the FCC to expedite its approval of the Soros applications and thus allow them to more quickly realize their ownership interests in, and take the reins at, these hundreds of local radio stations across the country.” Audacy’s restructuring deal, which includes Soros’ firm and others, has been approved by the courts and is now awaiting its final hurdle — FCC approval, according to Inside Radio. PROGRESSIVE MONEY MAN ALEX SOROS HUDDLES WITH DEM CANDIDATES AS 2024 CAMPAIGN HEATS UP Roy told Fox News Digital that he heard from constituents who “reached out and raised issues and concerns about the extent to which it’s very clear that Soros is, you know, making a move in the radio world.” “I wanted to pose those questions to…understand what’s happening with the FCC on this, and raise the awareness publicly of the extent to which Soros’ people may be using — either the rules to their advantage, or frankly, the rules are getting abused to fast-track getting in there and grab that debt as a backdoor way to try to acquire a significant amount of ownership over local radio,” he said. Fox News Digital reached out to Audacy, the FCC and a Soros representative for comment.
Supreme Court sharply at odds over emergency room abortion access in states’ rights challenge
The contentious issue of abortion has returned to the Supreme Court, with the justices prepared on Wednesday to weigh a states’ rights challenge over hospital emergency room access to the procedure. In nearly two hours of oral arguments, the high court confronted whether state abortion restrictions are invalidated by a federal law. It was unclear from the public session how the court might eventually decide. The votes of Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett may prove decisive. They asked tough questions of both sides. Idaho officials say hospitals cannot be forced by the Biden administration to perform abortions in potentially emergency situations – even if the state has a near total ban on the procedure – with an exception only to save the life of the mother. SCOTUS TO HEAR ARGUMENTS IN BIDEN’S LAWSUIT ‘SUBVERTING STATES’ RIGHTS’ ON ABORTION The Justice Department argues the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) requires health care providers to give “stabilizing treatment” – including abortions – for patients when needed to treat an emergency medical condition, even if doing so might conflict with a state’s abortion restrictions. In arguments, the court appeared divided along ideological lines, with conservative justices questioning the federal government’s authority. “How can you impose restrictions on what Idaho can criminalize, simply because hospitals in Idaho have chosen to participate in Medicare?” asked Justice Samuel Alito, who was most in questioning U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar. But the three more liberal justices were equally skeptical of the state’s position. “It’s not always the state’s way,” said Justice Elena Kagan, when it comes to deciding when to defer to a doctor’s “good faith judgment” on treating a medical crisis that may not immediately threaten a patient’s life. “Within these rare cases, there’s a significant number where the woman’s life is not in peril, but she’s going to lose her reproductive organs. She’s going to lose the ability to have children in the future unless an abortion takes place,” said Justice Elena Kagan. The state can enforce its restrictions until a final ruling. Hundreds of people gathered outside the court in competing rallies, carrying signs and giving speeches. The latest debate comes as the court again confronts perhaps the nation’s most divisive social issue, with several state voter referendums planned for the November elections over abortion rights. That includes Florida and New York, and possibly in Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, and other states. The justices held separate arguments last month over nationwide access to the abortion drug mifepristone. Rulings in both cases could dramatically shape how the issue plays out in the political dialogue this fall. The current appeal arose after the Biden Justice Department sued Idaho, just two weeks after the Supreme Court’s landmark 2022 ruling striking down Roe v. Wade and the nationwide constitutional right to abortion. In an amicus brief filed with the justices, a group of nearly 700 doctors in Idaho said the state law was putting patients at risk when serious pregnancy complications arise. WHY TRUMP IS DEFERRING TO THE STATES, AFTER WEIGHING AN ABORTION BAN AT 15 WEEKS The physicians said an unspecified number of women have either been sent home, forced to find another in-state hospital, or leave the state to get appropriate care, citing one example. “The risk of infection, sepsis, or other complications is extremely high with a premature rupture of the membranes as early as this one. Another hospital had already turned the patient away — effectively, in petitioner’s words, ‘dumping’ the patient, citing its inability to provide care under Idaho’s total abortion ban.” “This experience was traumatic for the patient and torture for the doctor,” said the legal brief. “The doctor both felt she had violated her medical ethics by delaying necessary, standard care, and feared the repercussions from the State if she didn’t wait quite long enough.” Abortion rights groups say the broader effect is reduced quality of prenatal care, with some Idaho physicians choosing to practice elsewhere, and hospitals struggling to recruit OB-GYNs. A group of 258 Democratic members of Congress also filed a brief in support of the federal government. PRO-LIFE CONSERVATIVES ARE ‘DISAPPOINTED’ IN TRUMP’S NEW ABORTION POLICY, BUT STICK BY HIM: ‘ONLY ONE OPTION’ But the state told the high court its ruling two years ago returning abortion matters to the states directly conflicts with the Biden administration’s “politically significant” efforts to impose federal law. “The Biden administration reinterpreted the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) to create a nationwide abortion mandate in hospital emergency rooms that accept Medicare funding. That mandate — discovered nearly 40 years after EMTALA’s enactment — has no support in the statutory text. The mandate was an attempt to reimpose a federal abortion requirement, this time through the exercise of raw executive power.” A group of 22 GOP-controlled states led by Indiana are among those filing amicus briefs supporting Idaho’s law. The consolidated cases are Moyle v. U.S. and Idaho v. U.S. A ruling is expected in late June.
