Trump says ‘America needs God’ in Good Friday message touting ‘resurgence of religion’
President Donald Trump delivered a Good Friday message from the Resolute Desk celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ while declaring that religion is experiencing a “resurgence” across the United States in his second term. “As I have often said, to be a great nation, you must have religion, and you must have God,” Trump said. The president framed his message with faith as a central pillar of American strength, pointing to what he described as a broader cultural shift toward religion. The video, shared via Truth Social on Good Friday, honored the Christian faith tradition and what he claims is a renewal of religion in the United States. TRUMP ADMIN ISSUES NEW GUIDANCE TO PROTECT RELIGIOUS EXPRESSION ACROSS FEDERAL WORKFORCE President Trump has often recalled his Presbyterian upbringing, attending Sunday school. He has previously credited his faith to his devout Scottish mother and a “very strong” but “great-hearted” father in remarks at the 2024 National Faith Summit. “In churches across the nation on Sunday, the pews will be fuller, younger and more faithful than they have at any time in many, many years,” Trump said. “Religion is growing again in our country for the first time in decades.“ The president has invited prayer and faith back into the public square with both an America 250 prayer initiative and the establishment of the White House Faith Office early in his second term. TRUMP TO SPEAK AT MUSEUM OF THE BIBLE ON RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN EDUCATION Trump said he’s “proud to join with Christians” during Holy Week in his address. “This Holy Week, I’m proud to join with Christians across the country and around the world to celebrate the most glorious miracle in all of time — the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” Trump said. “In his life, Christ displayed true humility. In His death, He modeled true love.” The president also invoked scripture in his address, quoting John 3:16. TARGETED FOR THEIR FAITH OVERSEAS, PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS GET A WHITE HOUSE WELCOME UNDER TRUMP “As it says in Gospel of John, for God so loved the world that He gave His only son, for whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life,” Trump said. President Trump’s outspoken approach to the Christian holiday serves as a foil to his predecessor. Former President Joe Biden most recently shared a brief three-paragraph statement during his tenure to celebrate the season in 2024. Trump has been more candid in his approach to his faith since he survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2024. “I believe that my life was saved that day in Butler for a very good reason,” he declared during his address to a joint session of Congress in 2025. “I was saved by God to make America great again. I believe that.” The president ended his remarks by wishing everyone a blessed holiday. “Happy Easter to all. May God bless you. May God bless the United States of America,” Trump concluded. The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Colorado lawyers say court e-file system now makes them certify they won’t assist ICE
Attorneys in Colorado are claiming that the state’s court e-file system is requiring them to certify they won’t share personal information to assist ICE or federal immigration enforcement. Multiple attorneys on X reported an electronic notification citing the Protect Civil Rights Immigration Status Act, a state law passed in 2025 that prohibits collection or disclosure of information pertaining to immigration status in health care, education and government. Covenant Law founder Ian Speir posted screenshots of an alleged electronic form that he was required to accept to access Colorado’s court filing system. BLOCKING ICE COOPERATION FUELED MINNESOTA UNREST, OFFICIALS WARN AS VIRGINIA REVERSES COURSE The page in question is not public-facing and appeared to be only accessible by attorneys registered in Colorado, Fox News Digital’s review of the website revealed. “I certify under penalty of perjury that I will not use or disclose personal identifying information, as defined by [the act] obtained from this database for the purpose of investigating for, participating in, cooperating with, or assisting in federal immigration enforcement, including enforcement of civil immigration laws and 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1325 or 1326, unless required by federal or state law or to comply with a court-issued subpoena, warrant, or order,” the message says, asking attorneys to “accept” or “decline.” MINNESOTA SUES TRUMP ADMIN OVER SWEEPING IMMIGRATION RAIDS IN TWIN CITIES “Colorado is now requiring lawyers in the state, as a condition of logging into its court e-filing system, to promise not to cooperate with federal authorities in enforcing federal immigration law,” Speir said in response on X. Speir added he doesn’t practice immigration nor criminal law, and nothing in his cases would be relevant to the law. But he “cannot log into the state’s official e-filing system without saluting ‘The Resistance’.” DHS TORCHES NEW JERSEY’S PROFANE ‘F— ICE ACT’ AS ASSAULTS ON AGENTS SKYROCKET 1,300% “I now cannot represent my clients, file lawsuits, access cases, file documents in existing cases,” he said, adding he chose the “accept” option “under protest.” “The bottom line here is that Colorado seems to be unlawfully coopting private attorneys across the state to further its anti-federal sanctuary policies,” Speir told Fox News Digital later Friday. Attorney and former law professor Matt Barber added on X that the oath the state expects lawyers to take is “indefensible.” The announcement Barber received said the the Colorado Judicial Department deployed an “updated certification process” as of March 30 to comply with the new law. TRUMP ADMIN SUES ILLINOIS GOV. PRITZKER OVER LAWS SHIELDING MIGRANTS FROM COURTHOUSE ARRESTS The original implementation was paused in September amid “additional review,” the agency said in its notice. “The majority of CCE information remains public; this requirement only impacts access to nonpublic personal identifying information as defined by statute,” the agency said in its new terms, adding that attorneys who choose to decline the agreement must complete a “brief certification” to proceed. “Democrats going back to their Confederacy roots,” another critic quipped, citing a screenshot of the 1956 law outlining “seditious conspiracy” as opposing federal authority by force or “hinder[ing] … execution of any law of the United States.” Fox News contributor Guy Benson added, “Big lawsuits: Now.” Fox News Digital reached out to the Colorado Judicial Department, Gov. Jared Polis and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for comment. The 2025 law, authored by Sen. Julie Gonzales, D-Denver, and Sen. Mike Weissman, D-Aurora, also prevents civil arrests of people present at courthouses and “military force[s]” from other states from entering Colorado without executive permission unless acting upon federal orders. And it repeals requirements that applicants for college admission or driver’s licenses must sign an form pledging they’ve applied for lawful presence in the U.S.
Patel, McCormick warn foreign terror threats inside US grew during Biden years
FBI Director Kash Patel warned Wednesday that terror sleeper cell threats in the U.S. are “real,” and Sen. David McCormick, R-Pa., linked the danger to past border policies and accused Democrats of undermining homeland security in a funding fight. Considering flaring concerns over sleeper cell threats during the United States’ war on Iran, Fox News Digital asked the FBI director to revisit the Biden administration’s previous focus on White supremacy as the leading domestic threat. Patel pointed to recent attacks as evidence of growing danger from foreign-linked terrorism. “President Trump has prioritized defending the homeland and resources to do so. These two recent tragic examples (in Virginia and in Michigan) are an unfortunate, tragic reminder of what happens, specifically in Norfolk, when you let an actual convicted terrorist not finish his jail sentence,” Patel said. McCormick and Patel spoke to Fox News Digital at the federal courthouse in the heart of Pennsylvania’s third-largest city, Allentown, on Wednesday after a roundtable focused on cracking down on fentanyl. PHOTOS: ANTI-ICE AGITATORS DOX AGENTS BY SENDING WARNING POSTCARDS TO NEIGHBORS The FBI director was referring to Mohamed Jalloh, a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Sierra Leone who entered a classroom at Old Dominion University in Norfolk last month and opened fire, killing one. Jalloh was convicted of supporting ISIS in 2017. Also in March, federal investigators said Ayman Mohamad Ghazali was radicalized by Iran-backed Hezbollah when he allegedly crashed his vehicle into a synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, that was filled with more than 100 children. McCormick noted that, during the Biden administration, hundreds of people on the U.S. terror watch list crossed into the nation. “Many of them are loose in our country,” he said. “[T]he effort of the administration to close the border, which it’s done successfully, is now [to] take those violent criminals and send them home.” Under the Biden administration, White supremacy was considered a top priority terror threat. The Delaware Democrat told a Howard University audience that he strove to “single out the most dangerous threat to our homeland [that] is White supremacy.” In a September 2024 House Homeland Security subcommittee hearing, Chairman August Pfluger, R-Texas, said 382 people whose names appear on the terror watchlist were “stopped trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally between ports of entry from fiscal year 2021 to fiscal year 2024. This is compared to the 11 individuals apprehended from fiscal year 2017 to fiscal year 2020.” The Department of Homeland Security, which is separate but related to the work of the FBI, remains hamstrung by a Democrat-enabled appropriations freeze that has left TSA and other agencies without proper resources, including paychecks. DEMOCRATIC OFFICIALS, TIKTOKERS, LIBERALS TAKE THEIR ANTI-ICE RHETORIC TO THE NEXT LEVEL Patel called the department the FBI’s largest law enforcement partner globally and cited crucial interagency task forces. “Every day and every time someone [in DHS] misses a paycheck, it’s yet another opportunity for the criminals to take advantage of a system that should be fixed easily,” Patel said. “And thanks to Sen. Dave McCormick and the charge he’s leading, I believe DHS is going to be funded. And those that vote against funding DHS are literally voting against law enforcement, and, to me, it makes no sense.” THE FAR-LEFT NETWORK THAT HELPED PUT ALEX PRETTI IN HARM’S WAY, THEN MADE HIM A MARTYR McCormick added that while the shutdown was already “irresponsible and disgraceful” in February, it’s now exacerbated by the Iran conflict. “It’s absolute political theater on the part of Chuck Schumer,” he said, calling the idea that Democrats would use DHS funding as a “political pawn” during wartime “unforgivable.” The shutdown is on its 49th day as of Friday, and more than 200,000 DHS workers are affected, according to reports. “What’s happening is Schumer keeps moving the finish line in terms of what he’s trying to achieve. I think it’s disgraceful,” McCormick said.
