More than 40 Senate Republicans call for Mayorkas impeachment trial in letter to Schumer

FIRST ON FOX: Dozens of Republican senators are calling on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. D-N.Y., to make sure a full impeachment trial is held for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. In a letter exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, 43 GOP senators led by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., demanded “that the Senate uphold its constitutional responsibility to properly adjudicate the House of Representatives’ impeachment.” READ MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGE FROM FOX NEWS DIGITAL The correspondence comes as Republicans have accused their Democratic colleagues of planning to initiate a motion to table the impeachment trial when it reaches the Senate, effectively killing it. Schumer’s office did not immediately provide comment to Fox News Digital. HANDFUL OF VULNERABLE DEMS WILL DECIDE FATE OF MAYORKAS IMPEACHMENT TRIAL The letter was also signed by nearly the entire Republican conference.  The signers included Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Minority Whip John Thune of South Dakota, Republican Conference Chairman John Barrasso of Wyoming, Sens. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Ted Budd of North Carolina, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, John Cornyn of Texas, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Mike Crapo of Idaho, Steve Daines of Montana, Deb Fischer of Nebraska, John Hoeven of North Dakota, Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi, Mike Lee of Utah, Jerry Moran of Kansas, Pete Ricketts of Nebraska, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, Marco Rubio of Florida, Eric Schmitt of Missouri, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Roger Wicker of Mississippi, Josh Hawley of Missouri, John Boozman of Arkansas, John Kennedy of Louisiana, Ted Cruz of Texas, Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, James Risch of Idaho, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Tim Scott of South Carolina, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Rick Scott of Florida, Markwayne Mullin and James Lankford of Oklahoma, Todd Young of Indiana, Katie Britt of Alabama, Joni Ernst of Iowa, JD Vance of Ohio, Roger Marshall of Kansas, Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, and Mike Braun of Indiana. GOP PLANS TO GRIND SENATE TO A HALT IF DEMOCRATS TABLE MAYORKAS IMPEACHMENT TRIAL Notable non-signers are Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Mitt Romney, R-Utah, who have each criticized the House’s effort to impeach Mayorkas. Romney reiterated this week that he didn’t see any high crimes or misdemeanors that would warrant the impeachment trial.  GOP SENATORS CONVINCE SPEAKER JOHNSON TO DELAY MAYORKAS IMPEACHMENT ARTICLE DELIVERY House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., agreed to deliver the articles of impeachment against Mayorkas to Schumer next week, rather than Wednesday as initially planned. He was persuaded to delay the delivery by several GOP senators, who did not want a trial initiated at the end of the week, when senators would be looking to quickly get on flights back to their respective states.  When the articles are brought to the Senate, they will set a certain procedure into motion and all senators will be sworn in as jurors. The concern among Republicans is that Schumer and Senate Democrats will seek to use a procedural maneuver to quickly off-ramp the trial. A motion to table, which could pass with a simple majority of 51-49, would kill hopes of a full trial.  A group of Senate Republicans is planning to potentially hold up all legislative business in the upper chamber if Schumer doesn’t allow a full trial to play out. Because the Senate relies on unanimous consent among members for much of the business conducted, such a protest would make it virtually impossible for anything to get through the body.  While Republicans have made clear they expect Democrats to seek a quick dismissal of the impeachment trial proceedings, Schumer has not indicated the caucus’ plans. 

Latinos favor Trump over Biden on economy, support president shutting down border, poll finds

Latino Americans overwhelmingly say former President Trump would be better for the economy and immigration than President Biden, according to a Thursday poll from Axios/Ipsos. The poll found that 20% of Latinos think Biden is “good for the U.S. economy,” while 42% of respondents said the same about Trump. When it comes to immigration, 22% said Biden is “good” on the issue, while 29% said the same for Trump. Latinos also favored Trump on crime and public safety, with 31% endorsing him on the issue, compared to Biden’s 20%. Biden defeated Trump on two issues in the poll, however. Latinos believe, 28% to 23%, that Biden is better for the health of democracy in the U.S., and 30% trust him more on abortion issues, compared to 21% for Trump. HOUSE REPUBLICANS HAMMER BIDEN AS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IS LINKED TO MICHIGAN WOMAN’S MURDER Biden also underperformed in the poll, compared to the Democratic Party in general, with the party beating its presidential candidate by 1% to 2% on each poll question. Thursday’s poll was conducted in partnership with Noticias Telemundo from March 22 to 28. The survey questioned 1,012 Latino adults selected randomly via Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel, which seeks to create a national representative sample. The campaigns for Biden and Trump did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Fox News Digital. ‘SHOCKING’ CALIFORNIA BILL TO PROTECT VIOLENT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM DEPORTATION DRAWS FIERCE BACKLASH Trump has centered his campaign on immigration and the economy, declaring the U.S.-Mexico border a “war zone” in late February. Trump allies have sought to capitalize on Biden’s unpopularity on immigration with extensive ad buys. The conservative nonprofit Building America’s Future launched a six-figure digital ad campaign on Tuesday in the Midwest battleground states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, hammering Biden’s immigration policies. Trump was set to deliver two speeches on immigration over the same period. “Donald Trump was right,” the one-minute ad opens followed by a soundbite of Trump saying in a 2015 speech, “They’re not sending their best. They’re bringing drugs.” BORDER PATROL HAS ARRESTED 6,400 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WITH CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS, 178 GANG MEMBERS IN FY24 The ad then plays audio from a news report discussing drugs being smuggled across the border before quoting Trump also saying that illegal immigration is bringing “crime and rapists,” along with news reports backing up that claim. During his speech in Michigan last week, Trump fired numerous salvos at his successor in the White House, arguing that “under crooked Joe Biden, every state is now a border state.” Fox News’ Andrew Mark Miller contributed to this report.

‘Expect NPR to suffer’ under GOP admin: Republicans renew call to defund outlet amid bias scandal

Congressional Republicans said National Public Radio’s (NPR) federal funding should be revisited after a senior editor at the publication penned a scathing review of its employees’ partisan make-up.  “NPR has abandoned their own definition of diversity and inclusion with their one-sided reporting and blatantly biased newsroom,” House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., the No. 3 House Republican leader, told Fox News Digital. “The choice should be simple: Fulfill your obligation to provide accurate, balanced information to the American people or forfeit taxpayer funding.” Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, also suggested NPR could face consequences for its purported bias under a potential future Trump administration. NPR EDITOR REBUKES OWN OUTLET’S COVERAGE OF HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP, COVID LAB LEAK AND RUSSIAGATE “If you get a Republican administration, and that’s increasingly likely, you can expect NPR to suffer if they don’t show a lack of partisanship…And that’s not where they are today,” Romney told Fox News Digital. Senior business editor Uri Berliner, a 25-year veteran of NPR, recently shared damning allegations about his employer’s viewpoint diversity and the effect it has had on coverage in a piece for the Free Press.  Per Berliner, “I found 87 registered Democrats working in editorial positions and zero Republicans. None,” describing his NPR office in Washington, D.C. NPR EDITOR KNOCKS OUTLET’S ‘TROUBLING’ AVOIDANCE OF GROWING ANTISEMITISM FOLLOWING OCT. 7 It’s added fuel to an already-burning fire for the GOP, which has long accused NPR of acting with a liberal bias while receiving some federal funds. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, slammed NPR for behaving “like a partisan propaganda institution.” He added that “taxpayer funding” shouldn’t go toward such a publication.  “I would be more than fine pulling funding from NPR,” added Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., calling NPR’s overwhelmingly Democratic staff “a free market issue.” Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., noted “it makes you realize that independent news is, is dead somehow.” The Missouri Republican pointed to NBC News’ recent hiring and subsequent firing of former Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. He noted that her termination was in response to employee backlash at the outlet.  “The people in my district, they see through all of that stuff,” Burlison said. “They know that they can’t trust the…mainstream media.” NPR EDITOR FOUND REGISTERED DEMOCRATS OUTNUMBERED REPUBLICANS 87 TO ZERO IN NEWSROOM Asked if action will be taken in the legislature to address NPR’s funding from the government, which is doled out through a non-profit organization, Cruz said, “I certainly hope so.” NPR defended its journalism in a statement by its chief news executive Edith Chapin, published in one of its own stories.  “We’re proud to stand behind the exceptional work that our desks and shows do to cover a wide range of challenging stories,” Chapin said. NPR did not immediately provide comment to Fox News Digital. 

Pro-Palestinian protester derails dinner at UC Berkeley law school dean’s home, refuses to leave

A congratulatory dinner held at the home of UC Berkeley School of Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky was upended this week after a pro-Palestinian student started a heated speech about the Israel-Hamas war and refused to leave. The incident, which took place Tuesday evening, came after several soon-to-be law school graduates were invited to attend one of three backyard dinners at the Oakland residence of Chemerinsky, a left-wing scholar, and his wife, law school professor Catherine Fisk. Held in the couple’s garden, the first dinner was quickly disrupted when Malak Afaneh, a Palestinian American law student at the school who serves as co-president of Berkeley Law Students for Justice in Palestine, approached a set of steps and attempted to give a speech about the people who have been killed in Gaza as a result of the war in the Middle East. Video footage of the confrontation between Afaneh and the couple was shared online, showing the student calling for the university to divest from corporations involved in Israel’s war. The footage also showed Chemerinsky and his wife repeatedly pleading with the student to exit the dinner and leave their property. ANTI-ISRAEL AGITATORS SHUT DOWN SENATE CAFETERIA; AROUND 50 ARRESTED Standing with a microphone and reading from her phone, Afaneh was approached by Fisk, who attempted to grab at the student’s phone and microphone. “Today, we are gathered here to commemorate our final few weeks as law students,” the student said. “Tonight is also the last night of the holy month of Ramadan, where millions of Muslims from around the world fast.” Afaneh was then approached by Fisk, who put her arm around the student in what appeared to be an attempt to move her to the side. “Leave,” Fisk told the student. “This is not your house. This is my house.” “Stop touching her,” another student can be heard saying in the clip. “You don’t have to get aggressive.” “We have attorneys,” Afaneh told Fisk. COLLEGE AT CENTER OF ‘FREE PALESTINE’ LIBRARY ATTACK HIT WITH STUDENT LAWSUIT: ‘PRO-HAMAS HATE’ “Please leave our house,” Chemerinsky said to the students. “You are guests at our house.” Afaneh then claimed it was her First Amendment right to speak at the backyard dinner before Chemerinsky said, “This is my house. The First Amendment doesn’t apply.” Fisk, who told the student she was no longer “welcome” at the event, then threatened to call the police, to which Afaneh said, “Okay, you can call the police.” Attempting to carry on with her speech, Fisk then grabbed Afaneh’s microphone and began leading her up the steps. “Please, if you don’t want to be here, then leave my house,” Chemerinsky said amid the scuffle. Fisk can then be heard telling Afaneh that she was not invited to the dinner “for this purpose.” “We are talking about Ramadan and the holy month of Ramadan as Muslim students,” the student responded. “We refuse to break our fast on the blood of Palestinian people – that UC has committed sending $2 billion to weapons manufacturers…” ‘RADICAL’ PRO-PALESTINIAN GROUPS INCREASINGLY TARGET HOUSES OF WORSHIP FOR PROTESTS IN ALARMING TREND Afaneh later told Fisk that she would tell people about how she “pulled a Muslim woman’s scarf during Ramadan,” adding that “putting your hands on my hijab is unacceptable.” Afaneh then claimed she was assaulted by Fisk, which Chemerinsky denied as he became visibly angry, saying once more, “Please leave our house now!” In a statement about the incident, Chemerinsky said he wrote with “profound sadness” after the dinner was “disrupted and disturbed” by the student who “stood up with a microphone, stood on the top step in the yard, and began a speech, including about the plight of the Palestinians.” “My wife and I immediately approached her and asked her to stop and leave. The woman continued. When she continued, there was an attempt to take away her microphone,” he recalled. “Repeatedly, we said to her that you are a guest in our home, please stop and leave. About 10 students were clearly with her and ultimately left as a group. “I am enormously sad that we have students who are so rude as to come into my home, in my backyard, and use this social occasion for their political agenda,” he added. Noting that the other dinners would still be held with security present, Chemerinsky said he hoped “there will be no disruptions” and insisted that his “home is not a forum for free speech.” “Any student who disrupts will be reported to student conduct and a violation of the student conduct code is reported to the Bar,” he added. “I am deeply saddened by these events and take solace that it is just a small number of our students who would behave in such a clearly inappropriate manner.” Prior to the dinner, Chemerinsky said there was an “awful poster” that circulated around social media and school bulletin boards in the law school building that depicted him holding “a bloody knife and fork, with the words in large letters, ‘No dinner with Zionist Chem while Gaza starves.’”

America First Policy Institute rolls out abortion, life agenda to ’empower women’ with resources, support

EXCLUSIVE: America First Policy Institute (AFPI) is rolling out an agenda on Thursday that will “empower women” and support them in “challenging situations,” including unexpected pregnancies, fertility issues, adoption and more, while providing mental health resources surrounding abortion and pregnancy.  The introduction of AFPI’s H.O.P.E. agenda comes just days after former President Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, said the issue of abortion should be left to the states. Trump explicitly affirmed his support for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and emphasized his support for states determining their own laws for abortion — so long as there are exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother.  TRUMP SAYS ABORTION SHOULD BE DECIDED BY THE STATES, ‘WILL OF THE PEOPLE’ “The states will determine by vote, or legislation, or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land – in this case, the law of the state,” Trump said. “Many states will be different. Many states will have a different number of weeks…at the end of the day it is all about the will of the people.” The H.O.P.E. agenda, obtained by Fox News Digital, is a 20-point plan designed to “empower women in motherhood, adoption, foster care and fertility treatments while reducing the number of abortions and providing support in challenging situations, including mental health needs.”  The “H” stands for “Health” for women and babies “at all stages of pregnancy and after, including routine and emergent medical care and mental health support and access to IVF treatments.”  The “O” stands for “Opportunity” for women to be “supported.”  The “P” is for “Prosperity” for women and children to have access to resources needed to live, including childcare assistance. The “E” is for “empowerment for women to know fathers will be held financially responsible,” and more.  The agenda would allow courts to “award child support to mothers while a child is in the womb,” and it changes tax laws that would allow expectant mothers to claim a dependent or child tax deduction on federal taxes the year the baby was conceived, even if born the following year. AFPI says that could save a mother $3,600.  WHERE AMERICANS STAND ON ABORTION IN OUR LATEST FOX NEWS POLL The agenda also addresses legal and financial barriers to adoption and foster care through specific tax credits; enhances healthcare access to improve outcomes and reduce maternal mortality; supports pregnancy resource centers and community health centers; and prioritizes the health of women and their babies.  The agenda also makes counseling available to women before they undergo abortions.  The plan would also require companies that cover abortion costs to also provide the same level of coverage for pro-family measures, like seeking infertility treatments or pursuing adoption.  The document also affirms “the long-standing exceptions [to abortion bans] for victims of race and incest, protecting the life of the mother, and ensuring babies born alive receive life-saving medical care.”  “After five decades of tireless advocacy, the pro-life movement succeeded in returning decisions regarding abortion policies to state-elected representatives through the landmark Dobbs decision,” AFPI president and CEO Brooke Rollins told Fox News Digital. “We have an opportunity to prioritize a broader set of pro-life and pro-family principles that compassionately care for the lives of both the woman and unborn child.”  A KEY STATE ISSUES A MAJOR RULING ON ABORTION Rollins added, “Protecting life isn’t just a policy; it’s a commitment to supporting women, children, and those pursuing parenthood.”  Rollins told Fox News Digital that AFPI’s agenda proposal “upholds the sanctity of every life and offers support to those with financial barriers and those seeking fertility treatments, ensuring access to the journey of parenthood for all.”  “We recognize that every situation is unique and vow to provide the care and support they deserve,” Rollins added.  AFPI, a 501C3 non-profit, non-partisan research institute focused on “advancing policies that put the American people first,” is led by senior leaders from the Trump administration, including Rollins, the former White House director of the Domestic Policy Council, former Small Business Administrator Linda McMahon, and other former Cabinet-level officials.  The issue of abortion is high on voters’ list ahead of the 2024 presidential election.  The Supreme Court, in 2022, delivered its decision to overturn the 1973 landmark case, Roe v. Wade, bringing the issue of abortion back to the states for the first time in nearly 50 years.

Republicans unveil effort blocking Biden’s crackdown on oil, gas drilling

FIRST ON FOX: A coalition of Republican lawmakers in the House and Senate is introducing a bill Thursday to overturn President Biden’s environmental regulations targeting oil and gas drilling. The bill takes aim at rules the Environmental Protection Agency finalized late last year to curb methane and other air pollutants generated by the fossil fuel sector. The effort is being led by Texas Republican Reps. Jodey Arrington and August Pfluger and Tracey Mann, R-Kan., in the House and Sens. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., and Steve Daines, R-Mont., in the Senate. “The overly broad and burdensome methane rule is yet another example of President Biden weaponizing the regulatory state to appease climate activists at the expense of the American people,” Arrington said.  “One of the only promises President Biden has followed through on is his campaign vow to end fossil fuels,” Pfluger said. “This methane rule imposes unworkable burdensome restrictions on energy producers in regions like the Permian Basin that I represent and others around the nation.” BIDEN ADMIN FACING LEGAL CHALLENGES AFTER DECLARING WAR ON CHEMICAL INDUSTRY Mann argued that the EPA’s regulations would ultimately “crush” oil and gas producers, driving energy prices higher for consumers.  Overall, under the regulations – announced during the latest United Nations climate summit as part of a global crackdown on methane – an estimated 58 million tons of methane emissions would be prevented between 2024 and 2038, according to the EPA. That is the equivalent of 1.5 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide and roughly the same amount emitted by the power sector in 2021. SENATE STRIKES DOWN BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S CLIMATE REGULATIONS TARGETING CAR EMISSIONS For years, environmentalists have called for stricter regulations targeting methane, which activists refer to as a “super pollutant” and which is far more potent than carbon dioxide, which occurs naturally. Biden administration officials said the rulemaking was among the “most critical” it could take to “slow the rate of climate change.” The regulations include rigorous new standards that force the energy industry to slash methane emissions, mainly by incorporating advanced technology like pollution-control equipment and aerial screening, sensor networks and satellites. It further phases in a requirement to eliminate routine flaring of natural gas, the release of gas produced during oil drilling operations that lack capture technology. The finalized regulations also introduce a so-called Super Emitter Program, which will use third parties to detect large methane releases. “Energy costs have significantly risen nationwide, and Americans are feeling it. Piling on regulatory burdens on the oil and natural gas industry at this time would only further exacerbate this trend,” Marshall said. “The Biden administration has taken their war on American energy and oil producers too far.”  While the EPA announced the finalization of the regulations in early December, the agency didn’t formally publish them until March, meaning they won’t go into effect until early May. The Republicans’ bill on Thursday will be introduced as a resolution under the Congressional Review Act, a law dating back nearly three decades that allows Congress to revoke federal regulations. EPA didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. 

House Republicans move to terminate ‘rotten’ DEI programs in federal government

FIRST ON FOX: A group of House Republicans is leading the push to terminate programs on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) within the federal government.  Rep. Mark Alford, R-Mo., introduced the “Diversity Equity Inclusion Dead on Arrival Act of 2024” or “The DEI DOA Act,” backed by four fellow House Republicans. “As a nation, we should place our focus on our commonality and the things that unite us. We certainly should not allow rotten initiatives such as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs to grow within our government,” Alford told Fox News Digital. PENTAGON EQUITY CHIEF PRAISES BOOK CALLING 9/11 FIRST RESPONDERS ‘MENACES’ AS SHE PUSHES FOR ‘REVOLUTION’ “That is exactly why I am introducing legislation to prevent any federal agency from instituting DEI in their trainings. My colleagues and I on the Armed Services Committee have worked tirelessly to ensure these curriculums are eliminated from our military. Now, it is time to take it a step further and eliminate DEI across the federal government.” Alford’s bill would target DEI offices in the State Department, Treasury, and Department of Interior, among others. UN SECRETARY-GENERAL YOUTH CLIMATE ADVISER CALLS FOR WHITES TO BE STRIPPED OF POWER IN ‘REVOLUTIONARY FIGHTS’ It would also defund the Treasury’s Office of Civil Rights and Equal Employment Opportunity, The Office of Civil Rights of the United States Agency for International Development, and the Chief Diversity Officers Executive Council. The bill’s introduction comes after a pair of progressives, Reps. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., and Jamie Raskin, D-Md., introduced a bill aimed at codifying DEI’s place in federal programming. NPR EDITOR REBUKES OUTLET’S OWN COVERAGE OF HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP, COVID LAB LEAK AND RUSSIAGATE Their Federal Government Equity Improvement Act and the Equity in Agency Planning Act would “ensure that federal agencies continue their work to promote equal opportunity for all, including people of color, women, rural communities, individuals with disabilities, and others that have been systemically excluded from participating fully in economic, social, and civic life,” according to a press release. Earlier this year, House Republicans forced the House of Representatives’ Office of Diversity and Inclusion to shut down as part of a deal to pass a $1.2 trillion government funding package.

New poll reveals crucial battleground state prefers Trump over Biden in heated 2024 rematch

As he aims to win back the White House in November, former President Trump needs to make sure he once again wins North Carolina, a state the former president narrowly carried over President Biden four years ago. A new poll from Quinnipiac University is the latest survey to indicate Trump with a slight edge over Biden in the crucial southeastern battleground state. Trump grabs the support of 48% of registered voters in the survey, with Biden two points back at 46%, in a head-to-head 2024 election rematch.  The survey, conducted April 4-8 and released on Wednesday, indicates Democrats overwhelmingly backing Biden (95%-2%) and Republicans supporting Trump by a similar margin (94%-3%), with the former president holding a 49%-41% lead over his White House successor among independents.  INFLATION REPORT GIVES TRUMP MORE AMMUNTION TO TAKE AIM AT BIDEN Trump also has the edge over Biden when the matchup is expanded to include independent and third party candidates. Trump stands at 41% in the poll, with Biden at 38%, independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at 12%, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein and independent Cornell West each at 3%. HEAD HERE FOR THE LATEST FOX NEWS POLLING IN THE 2024 ELECTIONS The release from Quinnipiac University highlights that “there is no clear leader in either of these matchups as the leads are within the margin of error.” Biden is aiming to flip North Carolina in November, and he has touted that he has “delivered for the South” in a stop there late last month. It was his second visit to the state this year. While the poll suggests the presidential contest for North Carolina’s 16 electoral votes remains tight, it indicates that Democratic state attorney general Josh Stein holds an eight point (52%-44%) lead over Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson in the showdown for governor. North Carolina and New Hampshire are considered the only competitive gubernatorial races this year among the 11 states holding contests. The Quinnipiac University poll surveyed 1,401 registered voters in North Carolina, with a margin of error of 2.6 percentage points.  Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.
