DHS chief Noem accuses lawmakers of ‘committing felonies’ at Newark ICE facility: ‘They should be censured’
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Tuesday called out members of Congress for allegedly assaulting law enforcement officers during a heated altercation outside a Newark immigration detention center last week.
Noem criticized the lawmakers for defending their actions as a supposed «oversight.» Appearing on ‘Jesse Watters Prime,’ Noem accused the lawmakers of committing criminal behavior.
«This wasn’t oversight. This was committing felonies. This was going out and attacking people who stand up for the rule of law. And it was absolutely horrible,» Noem said.
«I can’t believe they act like this and then they defend it. And then they’re doing these acts of violence to get people out of detention centers that are rapists, that are murderers, that are people that are [from] foreign terrorist organizations that have been out there victimizing our communities in the United States of America,» she went on.

DEM LAWMAKERS DEFEND ‘STORMING’ OF ICE FACILITY, SAY TRUMP ADMIN IS ‘LYING AT ALL LEVELS’
U.S. Reps. Rob Menendez Jr., Bonnie Watson Coleman and LaMonica McIver – all New Jersey Democrats – stormed ICE’s Delaney Hall detention facility’s gate in Newark on Friday, demanding they be allowed to conduct an «oversight visit.»
«These members of Congress storming into a detention facility goes beyond bizarre political stunt and puts the safety of our law enforcement agents and the detainees at risk,» a DHS statement to Fox News said. «Members of Congress are not above the law and cannot illegally break into detention facilities. Had these members requested a tour, we would have facilitated a tour of the facility.»

The three lawmakers were outside the facility with a group of protesters when the gates opened to allow an ICE bus in. The lawmakers then rushed through the gates and past security, DHS said.
«What are they trying to do?» Noem questioned. «Release these people back into the country so that there could be more Laken Rileys? So there can be more Jocelyn Nungarays? I just don’t understand what their point is. They have completely lost their minds.»

She called for the trio to be censured and formally rebuked by the House of Representatives.
«It’s astounding to me that someone would even vote for someone to put them in a place of leadership when they perpetuate something as hypocritical and as criminal as what these individuals did,» she said.
«I hope that the rest of the members of the House of Representatives will hold them accountable,» Noem continued. «They shouldn’t be allowed to be on the committees that they’re on — in fact, one of them (McIver) is supposed to be conducting oversight over ICE and instead she’s assaulting them.»
«They don’t deserve to be in the House,» Noem added. «They should be censured by it.»

In a press conference earlier, Coleman denied the accusations that they were trying to illegally enter the facility and claimed that ICE was «out of control.» McIver said the three lawmakers had waited more than two hours to gain access to the facility to conduct an oversight visit. She said all three of them were also assaulted by ICE personnel.
«There are people who are supposed to be officers, who are supposed to protect us, and they have done none of that,» McIver told reporters. «If they can treat three members of Congress like that, just imagine how they can treat people on the street each and every day, both undocumented and people who are citizens here in this country.»

McIver doubled down in a post on X, saying that «none of this had to happen.»
«We arrived at Delaney Hall to do our jobs — period,» she wrote. «Instead of facilitating congressional oversight, as they are obligated to do, ICE created chaos.»

Insólito: un esquiador británico terminó la Copa del Mundo de Oslo bajo los efectos del alcohol
Gabriel Gledhill, esquiador británico de 23 años, cruzó la meta en la Copa del Mundo de Oslo tras aceptar bebidas alcohólicas del público durante toda la prueba. En los cincuenta kilómetros estilo libre de esquí de fondo, terminó en el puesto 67 y el deportista reconoció que bebió entre diez y doce cervezas antes de llegar a la meta. El incidente cobró notoriedad viral y desató un debate sobre los límites del espectáculo en el ámbito profesional.
El atleta, nacido en Inglaterra y residente en Noruega desde hace cinco años, explicó el contexto de su accionar a la agencia noruega de noticias NTB. Durante la competencia, aceptó todas las bebidas que recibió, consciente de que podría tratarse de la última vez que participaba en el circuito noruego de esquí de fondo por razones vinculadas a su situación migratoria. El atleta admitió: “Me ofrecieron mucha cerveza y alcohol durante el recorrido, por lo que terminé bastante borracho, pero fue muy divertido”. Además, reveló que también aceptó snus —un tipo de tabaco húmedo sueco— y hasta enjuague bucal, lo que le provocó vómitos durante buena parte del recorrido.
La permanencia del esquiador en Noruega se encuentra en riesgo, ya que las autoridades locales rechazaron su solicitud de residencia permanente por motivos económicos. El deportista enfrenta la posibilidad de abandonar el país antes del 28 de marzo, fecha en la que vencerá su permiso actual. Según sus propias palabras: “Significaría el fin de mi carrera. Mi entorno de entrenamiento se encuentra íntegramente en Lillehammer. Si tengo que irme del país ahora, tendría que abandonar el esquí de fondo y retirarme de este deporte”, declaró a NTB.
El comportamiento del atleta provocó duras críticas entre colegas y seguidores del deporte. Durante la carrera, el esquiador fue adelantado por competidoras de la rama femenina, algo poco frecuente en la competencia masculina debido a las diferencias de desarrollo y ritmo entre los circuitos masculinos y femeninos, lo que intensificó las dudas sobre su desempeño y actitud.
El portal deportivo español MARCA recogió la opinión de Petter Soleng Skinstad, exesquiador y comentarista de televisión: “A Gledhill le encanta ser el centro de atención en las redes sociales y la televisión. Pero hay un límite para lo que resulta entretenido. Creo que ese límite se ha alcanzado”.
Por su parte, el británico defendió que su comportamiento no perjudicó a los demás ni alteró el desarrollo de la jornada. Destacó que para él la carrera representó un momento especial vinculado a una posible despedida y “podría ser mi última carrera aquí, así que tuve que aceptar todas las ofertas de cerveza y alcohol que hicieron”, sentenció ante NTB.
La jornada no estuvo exenta de polémica entre seguidores y responsables del circuito internacional: la controversia alcanzó a entrenadores y dirigentes deportivos, quienes insistieron en la necesidad de preservar la integridad y el respeto en el esquí de fondo profesional.
La red social Instagram, a través de la cuenta oficial de la Copa del Mundo de Esquí de Fondo, publicó un video del atleta británico con una cerveza en la mano. En el mensaje, se optó por destacar su humor y la visibilidad que aportó al circuito internacional: “Hoy también fueron los últimos 50 km para un chico que se ha convertido en alguien reconocido en el esquí de fondo. Gracias por destacar esta actitud, Gabriel, y por traer tu humor, aura y visibilidad al esquí de fondo”.
Según MARCA, el incidente llevó al británico a convertirse en un personaje mediático dentro de la disciplina, tanto por su desempeño como por el episodio protagonizado en Oslo, lo que reavivó el debate sobre la profesionalidad y los límites del espectáculo en la alta competencia.
La conducta de Gledhill abrió interrogantes sobre posibles sanciones o futuras regulaciones relativas al consumo de alcohol en las pruebas de esquí de fondo. Hasta ahora, no se han anunciado medidas específicas.
El deportista, mientras tanto, enfrenta un futuro incierto ante la posibilidad de dejar Noruega en los próximos días. Agradeció el apoyo recibido y manifestó su intención de continuar en el esquí de fondo, ya sea en Noruega o en otro país, si no logra revertir su situación migratoria.

Google Gemini declares only GOP senators violate hate speech policy, zero Democrats, author claims
Google admits role in Biden censorship push
Rep. John Cornyn, R-Texas, joins ‘The Faulkner Focus’ to react after Google acknowledged pressure from the Biden administration to censor accounts over political views, and weighs in on anti-ICE rhetoric following a violent attack in Dallas.
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE: Google’s AI chatbot Gemini flagged several Republicans — but no Democrats — when asked to identify senators who have made statements that violate its hate speech policies, author Wynton Hall told Fox News Digital. It’s just one example of what the author believes is a deeply ingrained bias against conservatives found in artificial intelligence tools.
Hall used the «deep research» function on Google’s Gemini Pro. Fox News Digital reviewed a screen recording of Hall’s prompt and findings. Google did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
One of the Republicans flagged by Gemini in Hall’s research, Sen. Marsha Blackburn, of Tennessee, was listed for characterizing «transgender identity as a harmful cultural ‘influence’ and has used ‘woke’ as a derogatory slur against protected groups.» Another, Arkansas’ Sen. Tom Cotton, was cited for cosponsoring legislation «to exclude transgender students from sports.»
MUSK, XAI TOUT NEWEST GROK UPDATE AS ONLY ‘NON-WOKE’ PLATFORM: ‘DOESN’T EQUIVOCATE’

The finding stood out against a backdrop of inflammatory rhetoric from some Democrats in recent years.
In 2023, Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., warned that then-candidate Donald Trump was «destructive to our democracy» and needed to be «eliminated.» However, he quickly apologized for his comments, claiming that it was a «poor choice of words.»
Last year, Texas Democratic House candidate Rep. Jolanda Jones made a throat-slashing gesture while rejecting former first lady Michelle Obama’s famous mantra, «when they go low, we go high,» on CNN’s «Outfront.»
«If you hit me in my face, I’m not going to punch you back in your face. I’m going to go across your neck,» Jones said while making a slashing motion across her neck. «We can go back-and-forth, fighting each other’s faces. You’ve got to hit hard enough where they won’t come back,» she added.
But for Hall, Gemini’s seemingly partisan answer underscored the central argument of his new book, «Code Red: The Left, The Right, China and the Race to Control AI.» In it, he argues that AI systems marketed as neutral are increasingly shaped by the ideological assumptions of the people and institutions who create them, which are far from neutral.
His book starts out with a clear example.
Less than 10 weeks before the 2024 election, a series of viral videos appeared to expose a strange double standard in American homes. When users asked Amazon’s Alexa why they should vote for Kamala Harris, the device delivered a polished endorsement. When asked why they should vote for Donald Trump, Alexa declined, citing a policy of neutrality.
«I cannot provide content that promotes a specific political party or a specific candidate,» Alexa said.
Hall says the concern extends beyond a single Gemini output.
«AI’s Silicon Valley architects lean left politically, and their lopsided political donations to Democrats underscore their ideological aims,» Hall told Fox News Digital.
To Hall, episodes like this show how AI can shape political perceptions while maintaining the appearance of objectivity. «Through algorithm throttling and shadow bans, Big Tech centralized control over which voices soar and sink across social networks. Now AI has put Big Tech’s consolidating control on steroids,» he writes.
WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?

He argues that this imbalance reflects the politics of the people building the systems. The billionaires driving the AI revolution, he says, invest their money and political energy where their values lie. As PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel once put it, «Silicon Valley is a one-party state.»
The money appears to bear that out. According to Hall, 85% of political donations from employees at Apple, Meta, Amazon and Google go to Democrats.
After Trump’s 2024 victory, major tech companies made the customary $1 million inauguration donations. But Hall argues those gestures did little to hide where Silicon Valley’s loyalties had long been. Aside from Elon Musk, he says, most of Big Tech’s leading figures remained firmly on the left.
Hall points to Democratic fundraising in 2024 as evidence of Silicon Valley’s political influence, citing major support from figures including Bill Gates, Melinda French Gates, Reid Hoffman and Laurene Powell Jobs.
But Hall argues the bigger issue is not campaign money.
It is the growing influence of AI systems that many people assume are neutral and objective. He warns that users often trust those answers too much, even when they may be biased.

To Hall, this bias is reinforced by the relationship between tech companies and legacy media. He argues AI systems are trained on enormous amounts of content from outlets such as The New York Times, The Atlantic and Reuters, while conservative outlets are largely excluded.
The result, he says, is a closed loop: AI absorbs the assumptions of legacy media and repackages them as objective truth. Hall argues conservatives must respond by demanding transparency in training data and ending taxpayer-funded contracts for vendors whose systems show political bias.
«Whoever wins the AI fairness battle,» Hall concludes, «will shape the minds and political attitudes of future generations. The time to act is now.»
