FIRST ON FOX: As the Senate reconvenes this week after a spring break, the Honest Elections Project is urging GOP leaders to move quickly to close a loophole they say is allowing noncitizens to vote in federal elections.

According to Honest Elections Project, an election integrity watchdog group, judicial interpretation of the National Voter Registration Act, often called the Motor Voter Act, effectively ties states’ hands, making it difficult to put commonsense voter ID requirements in place and opening the window for noncitizens to influence and...

The U.S. Secret Service filed federal criminal charges against a man accused of snatching Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s purse while she was out with her family on Easter eating lunch.

The criminal complaint filed in court on Monday charges 49-year-old Mario Bustamante Leiva with wire fraud, aggravated identity theft and robbery.

The complaint alleges that Bustamante Leiva committed three robberies between April 12, 2024, and April 20, 2025, and after each robbery, he made fraudulent purchases using the credit cards...

Republican members of Congress have gone to great lengths to avoid public meetings with their constituents over their two-week Easter recess.

In announcing new autism prevalence data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. distorted scientific research to argue that there is an “epidemic” of autism that must be due to an “environmental toxin.”

The main finding of the new CDC publication — that among 8-year-olds at the selected study sites, 1 in 31 had autism in 2022, up from 1 in 36 in 2020 — represents the latest increase in estimated prevalence of the neurodevelopmental condition, also referred to as autism spectrum...

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended the Trump administration's crackdown on undocumented immigrants Monday amid a significant drop in illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border.

"If you talk to all of these agents that have been down here for years, they say it's night and day difference from where we were a year ago, that they were overwhelmed with illegals and people that were turning themselves in because they knew that they would be released into the United States undocumented with no consequences," Noem told CBS News in an...

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order requiring truck drivers to pass English literacy tests which will bolster road safety, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Trump will sign an "order directing the Department of Transportation to include English literacy tests for our truckers. This is a big problem in the trucking community," Leavitt said on Monday afternoon during a press conference with new members of the media. The press conference was separate from a White House press briefing earlier Monday morning...

Rep. Gabe Vasquez, D-N.M., touted his vote against the Laken Riley Act and bashed President Donald Trump's administration at an April event, saying deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia, along with other illegal immigrants, is "testing and stretching the fabric of our democracy to a place we have never seen before."

In his speech, Vasquez claimed some said it would take "courage" to vote against the Laken Riley Act, to which the Democratic congressman exclaimed, "I did. I voted against [the bill]," leading the audience to cheer. "Because due process is a...

Dozens of large posters with photographs of migrants the White House claims to have been arrested for various crimes now line the driveway that leads to the West Wing.

The posters mark a popular live shot location for reporters who cover the White House and thus may appear in the background of a number of news spots throughout the week.

The White House on Monday opened a weeklong celebration of Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office by focusing on his border crackdown, an area of relative strength for the president at a time when there are red...

President Donald Trump pledged to end the war in Ukraine within his first 24 hours in office. But nearly 100 days into his second term, the conflict between Moscow and Kyiv grinds on.

Russian forces continue to batter Ukraine, devastating civilian areas. Ukrainian troops have mustered a resistance against the odds, though President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is on edge as his resources grow perilously thin. Meanwhile, Trump has suggested a deal is in the works while also expressing skepticism that any agreement will be reached soon.

“We have the confines...

Canadians headed to the polls on Monday for an election widely considered the most significant in a generation, as voters will determine who is best suited to manage the economy -- and U.S. President Trump.

Canadians are deciding whether to continue the Liberal Party's hold on power by picking new Prime Minister Mark Carney or transfer control to the Conservatives and their populist leader Pierre Poilievre.

Mr. Trump's threat to annex Canada and his sweeping tariffs, which undermine the country's economy, have dominated the campaign and influenced...

Rep. Jeff Crank, R-Colo., responded to the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) major bust at an illegal nightclub in his district on Sunday that resulted in over 100 illegal immigrants being arrested.

The state has become a hub of illegal immigration-related activities, including the presence of Tren de Aragua in cities like Aurora. In this case, not only were people detained, but pink cocaine and firearms were also confiscated by the DEA’s Rocky Mountain Division. The DEA said many arrested will soon be bound for deportation. Attorney General...

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan touted how the administration has released a shockingly low number of illegal aliens during a 100-day press conference at the White House on Monday.

Homan noted that the nine illegal aliens in comparison to hundreds, if not thousands, of releases in a single day under the Biden administration, as well as times when there were over 10,000 migrant encounters in places like Eagle Pass, Texas, is a huge accomplishment.

"We have the most secure border in the history of this nation, and the numbers prove...

The U.S. military has pummeled over 800 targets since mid-March in a campaign aimed at eliminating Houthi terrorists and restoring freedom of navigation in the Red Sea, according to an update from Central Command.

Since the start of "Operation Rough Rider" on March 15, U.S. forces have executed an "intense and sustained campaign" to dismantle the Iran-backed Houthi terrorist organization's capabilities, CENTCOM said Monday. The strikes have destroyed critical military infrastructure, including command centers, air defense systems, advanced weapons...

The notice posted to Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan's courtroom door was dated April 14, four days before she allegedly helped Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an illegal immigrant, and his attorney leave the courthouse to evade ICE agents, Fox News observed.

The notice states: "ATTENTION - IF ANY ATTORNEY...
