NYC Board of Elections worker says ‘not my job to report anyone’ when asked about registering non-citizens
A New York City Board of Elections worker said it is not his job to report anyone when asked about processing registrations for non-citizens, hidden video footage shows. According to undercover video captured by Muckraker, in which its reporter attempted to pose as a non-citizen, a worker said he would process applications for non-citizens. “Once in a while … we have people come in here … and they register, they weren’t a citizen,” the worker told the reporter. When the reporter claimed to the worker that he was a green card holder from Canada, he was told he needed to be a citizen. OHIO UNCOVERS OVER 1,000 NONCITIZENS ‘APPEARING’ REGISTERED TO VOTE, SENDS CASES TO DOJ FOR PROSECUTION “I wouldn’t fill it out,” the worker said. “You gotta be a citizen to fill it out.” “We can’t stop you from submitting the application,” he added, warning that people have had “legal situations” in which non-citizens attempted to register. When the reporter responded that he really wanted to register, the worker again said it was up to him if he wanted to fill out an application. ELECTION INTEGRITY GROUPS PRESS SUPREME COURT TO REQUIRE BALLOTS BY ELECTION DAY “I can’t tell you what to do. If you want to fill it out, fill it out. But everything is clearly stated, especially at the bottom. It says American citizen. So I’m letting you know, if you fill that out, and you’re not [a citizen]. If it comes back to you, it comes back to you. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t,” the worker said, appearing to warn the reporter again of legal consequences. “But we accept anything that comes over the counter,” he continued. Asked if he would report him if he submitted an application, the worker said he would not report anyone. “That’s not my job to report anyone,” he said. “My job is just to collect the application and submit it to the department.” In New York, it is illegal for non-citizens to register to vote. A previous measure that aimed to allow non-citizens to vote in local municipal elections in New York City was ruled last year to be unconstitutional.
Mike Lee calls Schumer’s ‘Jim Crow 2.0’ attack on voter ID bill ‘paranoid fantasy’
Senate Democrats have panned the GOP’s push for voter ID legislation as akin to segregationist laws from the Deep South, but the architect of the bill in the Senate says their arguments are detached from reality. “It’s paranoid fantasy,” Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, told Fox News Digital. “These are absurd arguments. They should be ashamed to make them.” Lee was responding to comments from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who has doubled down on his claim that the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act is “Jim Crow 2.0.” THUNE GUARANTEES VOTER ID BILL TO HIT THE SENATE DESPITE SCHUMER, DEM OPPOSITION: ‘WE WILL HAVE A VOTE’ The bill, which passed the House last week and has been introduced and championed by Lee in the Senate, would require photo ID to vote in federal elections, proof of citizenship to register and would mandate that states keep voter rolls clear of ineligible voters. Schumer and his caucus plan to block the bill, arguing that it is a tool of voter suppression that would disproportionately harm poorer Americans and minority groups. But Lee argued that providing identification or proof of citizenship is routine in everyday life — whether undergoing a background check to buy a firearm or filling out tax forms when starting a new job. COLLINS BOOSTS REPUBLICAN VOTER ID EFFORT, BUT WON’T SCRAP FILIBUSTER “By their logic, it’s Jim Crow to require somebody to establish citizenship before taking a job with a new employer, and that’s insane,” Lee said. “And so then they argue here, well, voting is so fundamental, and we have constitutional protections protecting our right to vote,” he continued. “Well, we’ve got constitutional protections protecting our right to bear arms, and yet that doesn’t cause us to dispense with proving who you are and your eligibility to buy a gun. This has just been insane.” Without Democratic support, however, the pathway to sending the legislation to President Donald Trump’s desk is complicated. GOP REACHES KEY 50-VOTE THRESHOLD FOR TRUMP-BACKED VOTER ID BILL AS SENATE FIGHT LOOMS Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has vowed to bring the SAVE America Act to the floor, and Republicans have the votes to move it through its first key procedural hurdle. From there, Democrats can block it with the 60-vote filibuster, which Lee often refers to as the “zombie” filibuster. Eliminating the filibuster is out of the question for several of Lee’s colleagues, but Republicans are warming to reinstating a talking, or standing, filibuster, which would require Senate Democrats to make their case against the bill on the floor over hours of debate. Trump has already suggested he would issue an executive order if the legislation fails, which Lee declined to speculate on without first knowing what exactly would be done. But he noted that it was all the more reason to pass the SAVE America Act, given the ever-swinging political pendulum in Washington, D.C. “It’s still really critically important that we pass this law, because let’s assume that he issued such an order, and that it does most or all of what we needed to do here, that gives us protection for the moment, to whatever degree he’s able to do that through an executive action,” Lee said. “But we need something that can last longer than he’s in office.”
Air Force One scraps iconic Kennedy-era paint scheme for Trump-approved red, white, blue design
The U.S. Air Force is repainting Air Force One and other aircraft in the presidential and executive fleet in President Donald Trump’s preferred red, white and dark blue color palette — replacing the iconic light blue and white design that has defined the aircraft for more than six decades, an Air Force spokesperson confirmed to Fox News. The updated design will also feature a gold stripe, adding a fourth color to the new look. The scheme will appear on aircraft across the executive airlift fleet, including a donated Qatari 747-8i and the two Boeing VC-25B jets currently being converted to serve as the next generation of Air Force One. An Air Force spokesperson told Fox News the redesign is now an official requirement across the presidential and executive fleet. “The Air Force is implementing a new paint scheme requirement (red, white and dark blue) for VC-25B as well as the additional executive airlift fleet, which will include the new 747-8i and four C-32 aircraft,” the spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News. AIR FORCE ONE TURNS AROUND SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF FOR TRUMP’S TRIP TO SWITZERLAND “The C-32s will be painted during regularly scheduled maintenance. The first C-32 has been painted and is expected to be delivered to the Air Force in the next few months.” “We’re painting it red, white and blue like the American flag, which is incredible,” President Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity during an exclusive interview last summer. CBS News first reported that aircraft in the presidential and VIP fleet were being repainted in dark navy blue, deep red and gold as they undergo scheduled repairs and maintenance. Sources told CBS the change applies not only to Air Force One jets but also to other aircraft used for executive transport. AIR FORCE ONE GLITCH REVIVES REPLACEMENT PUSH AS WHITE HOUSE SAYS IT ‘PROVES TRUMP WAS RIGHT AGAIN’ For more than six decades, the familiar robin’s egg blue and white exterior has served as a global symbol of the American presidency. The color scheme dates back to the early 1960s, when it was introduced during President John F. Kennedy’s administration and became one of the most recognizable aviation designs in the world. During his first term, Trump unveiled a model aircraft reflecting his preferred red, white and blue palette. That version of the design was later canceled for the VC-25B program during the Biden administration. Trump’s own Boeing 757, commonly known as “Trump Force One,” carries a dark navy body with a prominent red stripe, a distinct look that closely resembles the palette now being implemented across the executive fleet. The updated paint requirement applies to multiple aircraft types across the executive fleet, including the two Boeing VC-25B aircraft under development, the newly donated 747-8i from Qatar, and four C-32 aircraft used for executive transport. INSIDE THE LAST BOEING 707 TO SERVE AS AIR FORCE ONE: SEE REAGAN’S JET THAT MARKED THE END OF AN ERA The C-32 aircraft carry high-priority personnel such as the first lady and cabinet officials and serve as Air Force Two when the vice president is aboard. Contractor L3Harris has been upgrading those aircraft at its facility in Greenville, Texas, according to CBS. The change represents the first major redesign of presidential aircraft since the Kennedy era. The shift to darker navy tones, bold red accents and a gold stripe marks a sharp departure from the long-standing design of planes that serve as airborne symbols of the presidency. The first C-32 aircraft has already been repainted and is expected to be delivered to the Air Force in the coming months, the spokesperson said. Meanwhile, the 747-8i donated by Qatar which is currently undergoing refurbishment, is expected to be ready for presidential use no later than this summer, CBS reported. Boeing signed its contract to build the next generation of Air Force One aircraft in 2018 and continues work on the program. The repainting effort implements the Trump administration’s preferred presidential aircraft design as the new fleet moves closer to operational readiness. The White House referred Fox News Digital to the U.S. Air Force upon request for further comment.
