Sanctuary governors Walz, Pritzker, Hochul called to testify before Congress

FIRST ON FOX: House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Kentucky, sent letters requesting testimony from «sanctuary governors» on Thursday as part of an ongoing committee investigation into sanctuary jurisdictions and their effects on public safety.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul were called to testify at a May 15 hearing before the committee to discuss the controversial sanctuary laws that are designed to protect illegal immigrants.
«The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is continuing to investigate sanctuary jurisdictions across the United States and their impact on public safety and the effectiveness of federal efforts to enforce the immigration laws of the United States,» Comer told Fox News Digital. «Sanctuary jurisdictions and their obstructionist policies hinder the ability of federal law enforcement officers to effectuate safe arrests and remove dangerous criminals from American communities. This threatens Americans’ safety.»

«All documents and communications among or between any official, employee, contractor, or agent of the State of [Illinois, Minnesota, New York] related to the State of [Illinois, Minnesota, New York] sanctuary status;
«All documents and communications among or between any official, employee, contractor, or agent of the State of [Illinois, Minnesota, New York] and any official, employee, contractor, or agent of the federal government related to the State of [Illinois, Minnesota, New York] sanctuary status.»

President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social post Thursday morning, continuing his push to eliminate sanctuary cities: «No more Sanctuary Cities! They protect the Criminals, not the Victims. They are disgracing our Country, and are being mocked all over the World. Working on papers to withhold all Federal Funding for any City or State that allows these Death Traps to exist!!!»

In March, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams testified in a similar hearing before the House Oversight Committee, where members of Congress confronted the Democratic mayors on whether sanctuary status deter immigration agents and law enforcement officials from successfully enforcing federal laws.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, roughly 2.4 million immigrants per year entered the U.S. between 2021 and 2024 under the Biden Administration.
While the exact number of illegal migrants currently living in sanctuary cities is uncertain, there is a clear concentration of migrants in metro areas operating under sanctuary laws, creating barriers for ICE and immigration law enforcement officials to enforce laws.

«In addition to the efforts of the Trump Administration to ensure federal immigration enforcement can proceed unimpeded, Congress must determine whether further legislation is necessary to enhance border security and public safety,» Comer told Fox News Digital. «It is imperative that federal immigration law is enforced and that criminal aliens are swiftly removed from our communities.»

Juan Fernando Quintero no se guardó nada y confirmó que no continuará en América de Cali: “Me dijeron que no podían contar conmigo”

El 27 de junio de 2025, se confirmó la noticia de que Juan Fernando Quintero no continuará en el América de Cali.
El volante antioqueño de 32 años confirmó en la entrevista que tuvo con el periodista Carlos Antonio Vélez, y que fue difundida en su espacio de Palabras Mayores, de Antena 2 y Win Sports, la noticia.
Además, mencionó detalles de su estadía en el club, su relación con los dirigentes del América de Cali, y confirmó que jugó con lesión en sus últimos partidos en el cuadro Escarlata.

En la charla que tuvo con el periodista, el exjugador de Racing Club y América de Cali salió a desmentir a su presidenta, Marcela Gómez, quien el 26 de junio de 2025, durante la presentación del técnico Diego Raimondi, afirmó que había una conversación pendiente entre el club y el jugador para definir su continuidad.
La presidenta había asegurado que hablarían con el jugador sobre su continuidad para el segundo semestre de 2025, algo que el futbolista desmintió en sus declaraciones. Además, aclaró que ya había sido informado por el club que no podían contar con él debido a cuestiones económicas.
“Recibí un llamado del América diciendo que no podían contar conmigo por la situación. Yo les dije: ‘está bien, se encargan del tema con mi representante’. Me dijeron que no podían asumir mi sueldo, lo cual me parece extraño que la presidenta dijera que teníamos una conversación pendiente, cuando ya se habló de todo”, dijo Quintero.
Juan Fernando Quintero también explicó que la llegada de Duván Vergara a Racing no influyó en su salida, y detalló que él mismo tuvo que poner dinero para concretar su fichaje en América de Cali.
“Son cosas ajenas que pasan en el fútbol, pero quiero terminar de la mejor manera. Y ahora que se fue Duván Vergara para Racing, a quien le deseo lo mejor, llegó un momento en donde confundieron la operación de mi fichaje con América de Cali con el de él. Yo renuncié a un dinero para ir al club, no solo ellos hicieron un esfuerzo, también lo hice yo al colocar el 40% de mi ficha para ir allá, hay que hablar como es, prácticamente pagué para salir, y por eso quiero aclarar toda la situación”, agregó.

Quintero también aclaró su situación con otros clubes, revelando que tuvo contacto con Junior y con algunos de sus directivos, como Don Fuad, Alex y Héctor Fabio. Sin embargo, destacó que no podía hablar con nadie debido a su contrato vigente con América de Cali.
“Tuve la oportunidad de hablar con Junior, tuve contacto con Don Fuad, con Alex, con Héctor Fabio, si me preguntaron por mi situación, pero por obvias razones no puedo hablar con nadie, ya que tengo un contrato vigente con América de Cali, y hasta que yo no solucione la situación, no escucharé a nadie más, tengo ofertas, pero la prioridad la tiene América de Cali”, aclaró.

También abordó el tema de la estafa que se mencionó en relación con su situación contractual con América de Cali, confirmando que aún hay dinero pendiente por parte del club. Explicó que la situación se volvió más compleja cuando se tocó un tema personal.
“Creo que la situación se tornó difícil cuando llegó al tema personal, porque cuando ni en el fútbol como en la vida se deberían hablar, y cuando pasa el almuerzo, yo le comenté al profe Polilla sobre la exposición que sufrí, en donde me dijeron que sufrí una estafa, y yo nunca me hice la víctima y tuve dignidad, y esta situación fue muy personal para que se infiltrara la información. Por otra parte, es obvio que no cobré y también filtraron la información de que no asumirán la deuda que me deben, pero no pasa nada. Si la vida me cierra la puerta, te abre otra puerta”, expresó Quintero.
Juanfer también reveló que jugó la fase final del cuadrangular de la Liga BetPlay con una lesión, detallando que no estaba en su mejor estado físico.
“Los últimos dos partidos se tornaron difíciles. El último partido no lo jugué porque me infiltré para disputar los encuentros ante Tolima y Junior, no estuve al 100% y jugué así para ver si nos daba. Contra Independiente Medellín estuve con un estiramiento del ligamento colateral y a los 10 días estuve infiltrado con lesión. Y la otra razón salió una noticia sobre situaciones personales del club y de mi contrato, lo que me pareció una falta de respeto que se diera a conocer ello”, aclaró el volante.

Por último, el jugador expresó su molestia al enterarse de los rumores sobre una estafa tanto al club como a él mismo. A pesar de las críticas, resaltó su desempeño en el semestre con América de Cali, enfatizando la importancia del trabajo en equipo y su transparencia personal.
“Desde el comienzo hasta hoy, nunca hablé de situaciones personales que ocurrieron con el club. Soy un tipo transparente y tengo dignidad. Siempre me esmero por ganar y mi hoja de vida lo dice todo, desde que nací y siempre, fui ganador, además hago respetar mi dignidad deportiva, no soy complicado, soy básico que muchas veces la gente se confunde, que cuando uno es transparente y sincero, la gente se molesta. Nunca vendí humo y tampoco lo que no soy, hoy estoy en un equipo que clasificó a una fase internacional después de 22 años, gracias al trabajo de mis compañeros”, añadió.

Justice Department investigating University of California over alleged DEI-based hiring

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Justice Department has announced it is investigating the University of California (UC) for alleged Title VII discrimination violations in its hiring practices.
The agency announced Thursday that its Civil Rights Division is looking into the university’s individual campuses regarding potential race- and sex-based discrimination in employment practices.
The university’s «UC 2030 Capacity Plan» directs its campuses to hire «diverse» faculty members to meet race- and sex-based employment quotas, the Justice Department said.

«These initiatives openly measure new hires by their race and sex, which potentially runs afoul of federal law,» the Justice Department said in a press release.
«The Civil Rights Division’s Employment Litigation Section will investigate whether the University of California is engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination based on race, sex, and other protected characteristics, pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.»
Title VII prohibits an employer from discriminating against an individual on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, said.
«Public employers are bound by federal laws that prohibit racial and other employment discrimination,» Dhillon said. «Institutional directives that use race- and sex-based hiring practices expose employers to legal risk under federal law.»
The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division wrote to the university on Thursday, informing it of the investigation.
«Our investigation is based on information suggesting that the University of California may be engaged in certain employment practices that discriminate against employees, job applicants, and training program participants based on race and sex in violation of Title VII,» the letter reads.
«Specifically, we have reason to believe the University of California’s ‘UC 2030 Capacity Plan’ precipitated unlawful action by the University of California and some or all its constituent campuses.»

In March, UC dropped diversity statements from its hiring practices amid President Donald Trump’s threats that schools could lose federal funding. (iStock)
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TARGETS IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL, LAW JOURNAL FOR RACIAL DISCRIMINATION
UC said it will work in good faith with the Justice Department as it conducts its investigation.
«The University of California is committed to fair and lawful processes in all of our programs and activities, consistent with federal and state anti-discrimination laws,» a UC statement provided to Fox News Digital reads. «The University also aims to foster a campus environment where everyone is welcomed and supported.»
The university’s UC 2030 Capacity Plan lays out a goal of becoming a national model as a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) and Minority-Serving Institution (MSI) system. The plan outlines a pipeline strategy to diversify faculty and researchers through expanded graduate enrollment and outreach to institutions that serve underrepresented students. The DOJ, however, claims these initiatives may violate Title VII by functioning as de facto employment quotas.
In March, UC dropped diversity statements from its hiring practices amid President Donald Trump’s threats that schools could lose federal funding.
The university’s provost, Katherine S. Newman, sent out a letter to the system’s leaders informing them that diversity statements are no longer required for new applicants. Newman wrote that while some programs and departments have required them, the university has never had a policy of diversity statements and believes it could harm applicant evaluation.

«The requirement to submit a diversity statement may lead applicants to focus on an aspect of their candidacy that is outside their expertise or prior experience,» the letter obtained by Fox News Digital reads.
She added that employees and applicants can still reference accomplishments related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) on their own, but requiring stand-alone diversity statements is no longer permitted.

Iranian foreign minister reiterates ‘serious damage’ to nuclear facilities, despite ayatollah’s comments

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi admitted in an interview on state TV that the U.S.’s strikes caused serious damage to Tehran’s nuclear facilities, despite Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s insistence that there was minimal impact.
Araghchi said in the interview that «the level of damage is high, and it’s serious damage,» according to the Associated Press.
Post-strike assessments have shown that Iran’s nuclear sites suffered damage in both U.S. and Israeli attacks. All three countries — Iran, Israel and the U.S. — have reached similar conclusions about the extent of the damage, despite what a leaked intel report indicated.

IRAN, ISRAEL AND US AGREE THAT ISLAMIC REPUBLIC NUCLEAR SITES WERE ‘BADLY DAMAGED’ DESPITE LEAKED INTEL REPORT
The only leader who seemingly does not agree with the assessments is Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who said that «the Americans failed to achieve anything significant in their attack on nuclear facilities,» according to reports.
Khamenei appears to be more focused on projecting strength than reflecting reality. He described Iran’s attack on Al-Udeid, the American airbase in Qatar, as a «heavy slap to the U.S.’s face.» While President Donald Trump dismissed it as a «very weak response» and thanked Iran for giving the U.S. «early notice.»
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi said in a statement on Tuesday that the agency had «seen extensive damage at several nuclear sites in Iran, including its uranium conversion and enrichment facilities.»

IRAN TRYING TO ‘SAVE FACE’ FOLLOWING US STRIKE ON NUCLEAR SITES, EXPERT SAYS
In addition to discussing the damage done to Iran’s nuclear sites, Araghchi also addressed the possibility of resuming talks with the U.S. He said that the American strikes «made it more complicated and more difficult» for Iran to come to the table, but did not rule out the possibility that negotiations could resume.
Nuclear talks with the U.S. might not be entirely off the table for Iran after last week’s strikes—even if Tehran is not interested in reentering negotiations right away.
The possibility of negotiations was already in question prior to Operation Midnight Hammer, as Tehran viewed the U.S. as being «complicit» in Israel’s Operation Rising Lion, according to Reuters, citing Iranian U.N. Ambassador Ali Bahreini.

EX-SECRETARY OF STATE CONDOLEEZZA RICE CALLS US STRIKES ON IRAN A ‘SHOT IN THE ARM’ FOR AMERICAN CREDIBILITY
Trump on Wednesday expressed optimism in the U.S.’s ability to resume nuclear talks with Iran.
«We’re going to talk to them next week, with Iran. We may sign an agreement, I don’t know. To me, I don’t think it’s that necessary. I mean, they had a war. They fought. Now they’re going back to their world. I don’t care if I have an agreement or not. The only thing we would be asking for is what we’re asking for before about, we want no nuclear [program]. But we destroyed the nuclear,» Trump said.
Despite Trump’s statement, there is still no clear indication that the countries have plans to meet in the near future.
