WATCH: Cornyn tears into Dems for holding DHS ‘hostage’ and failing the No. 1 ‘non-negotiable’ for America
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Longtime Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn accused Democrats of jeopardizing American lives amid heightened threats by supporting sanctuary policies and allowing the Department of Homeland Security to remain unfunded.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Cornyn decried the Democrats, saying, «This is just another manifestation of the sort of defund police mentality on the left.»
The comments come amid heightened national concern over public safety threats following what appeared to be another attempted assassination targeting President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner Saturday.
There is also widespread concern over violent crimes involving illegal immigrants in communities across the country. Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security is experiencing the longest funding lapse in its history, further straining its ability to respond to threats.

«We know there are dangerous people here,» he said. «People with criminal records and others who are a threat to public safety. And if there’s one job that is No. 1, non-negotiable, when it comes to our citizens, it’s public safety.»

Cornyn, one of the most senior members of the Senate who chairs the Border Security and Immigration Subcommittee, introduced the Sanctuary City Elimination Act last week to ensure local police comply with ICE detainers by barring sanctuary cities from accessing federal funding.
Speaking with Fox News Digital, Cornyn also accused Democrats of holding DHS «hostage» to «avoid funding immigration enforcement.» He added that «this is just another manifestation of the sort of defund police mentality on the left, specifically now in the context of illegal immigration.»
Cornyn ripped into Democrats, pointing to deaths such as that of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, a U.S. citizen living in Houston who was killed by two illegal immigrants during the Biden administration in 2024.
«Folks in Texas remember names like Jocelyn Nungaray and others who have been victims of the unlimited open borders immigration that the Biden administration allowed during his four years in office,» he said. «Now that we have safe, secure borders under President Trump, [Democrats] are saying they don’t want to support the Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE].»
Cornyn is locked in a bitter primary runoff with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The attorney general is challenging Cornyn for the Senate seat he has held since 2002. While Paxton has received endorsements from the likes of Turning Point USA, Cornyn has been endorsed by the National Border Patrol Council. President Donald Trump has not issued an endorsement in the race, which will be decided by voters in late May.

Cornyn’s Sanctuary City Elimination Act is cosponsored by Sens. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., Ted Budd, R-N.C., Tim Scott, R-S.C., Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., and Eric Schmitt, R-Mo.
If passed, the measure would bar sanctuary cities and states from receiving certain federal funds and grants, including arts, education, environmental and community development block grants, according to Cornyn’s office. The bill would also seek to shield state and local law enforcement officers who comply with ICE detainers from prosecution by treating them as federal officers.
Additionally, the bill allows state governments «harmed by criminal aliens released by sanctuary jurisdictions» to sue those jurisdictions and the federal government to enforce the prohibition on funding to that sanctuary jurisdiction.
The same week Cornyn introduced the bill, the Houston City Council backed off a sanctuary-type policy amid threats of legal action from state officials.
Cornyn believes his bill can accomplish a similar result across the country. He noted that even if Democrats stymie progress on his bill, «We can certainly try to pass this using the same reconciliation process that we’ll use to fund ICE and the Department of Homeland Security.»
«This is a battleground that we should not shy away from,» he said.

Alluding to the upcoming midterm elections, Cornyn expressed confidence the issue will continue to resonate with voters in November.
«They don’t care about public safety. … We do care about public safety,» he said, adding that «is a pretty good contrast and one that we may need to just take to the voters.»
Addressing the weekend shooting, Cornyn told Fox News Digital, «Democrats cannot feign concern for President Trump’s life while also refusing to fund the very Department that houses Secret Service and other agencies sworn to protect him.
«I hope that, finally, the events of this past weekend will serve as a wake-up call for Democrats to fund DHS.»
Fox News Digital reached out to spokespeople for former President Joe Biden and to Paxton for comment. Fox News Digital also reached out to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., for comment.

DOJ launches grand jury probe into Marxist mogul Neville Roy Singham’s funding of leftist groups
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: A federal grand jury is investigating alleged financial crimes by Neville Roy Singham, the China-based tech tycoon whose fortune has funded a sprawling network of socialist, communist and Marxist organizations across the U.S. over the last decade.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the grand jury in Manhattan has issued subpoenas as part of a probe launched by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York, one of the country’s most powerful districts for federal prosecutions. Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche authorized the investigation as the Trump administration seeks to crack down on fraud, money laundering and other financial crimes in the multibillion-dollar nonprofit industry.
The grand jury action follows a Fox News Digital investigation published in mid-March, documenting how Singham pumped $285 million from his base in Shanghai into a Goldman Sachs philanthropy fund and two shell corporations that then fed the money into a constellation of nonprofit organizations, media operations and activist groups pushing sectarian division, identity politics and support for socialist politicians.
The investigation is examining the movement of the money in Singham’s financial network and attempting to determine if Singham, the organizations he funded or their leaders committed wire fraud, bank fraud, money laundering or other financial crimes, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Prosecutors have presented evidence to the grand jury, which has issued subpoenas seeking bank records and other financial documents from organizations in Singham’s network. Federal prosecutors use grand jury subpoenas as an investigative tool to compel the production of documents and testimony as they determine whether sufficient evidence exists to pursue criminal charges.
Nicholas Biase, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, declined to comment.
Showdown with Goldman Sachs
According to sources, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent traveled to New York City earlier this year for a meeting with Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon. The men discussed the role of a Goldman Sachs philanthropic arm — GS Donor Advised Philanthropy Fund For Wealth Management Inc. — that facilitated the movement by Singham of millions of dollars into a network of U.S. nonprofits.
A Treasury Department spokesman declined to comment. A person familiar with the meeting confirmed that it occurred, saying that Bessent has regular meetings with business leaders, and declined to comment further on the substance of the meeting.
At that meeting, sources said, Bessent delivered a blunt ultimatum: Goldman Sachs could face scrutiny for alleged conspiracy in the funneling of the Singham money and urged Solomon to cooperate with federal investigators.
Like many U.S. companies, Goldman Sachs has had a long business relationship with the Chinese Communist Party, with Solomon participating in a meeting, for example, on Nov. 4, 2025, with He Lifeng, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and director of the Office of the Central Commission for Financial and Economic Affairs.
Solomon pledged his cooperation, according to sources.

By mid-May, with the Southern District of New York investigation in full throttle, Solomon joined a delegation of powerful American business leaders who accompanied President Donald Trump, Bessent and other administration officials to China to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping and other leaders of the Chinese Communist Party.

In a five-part investigative series published earlier this year, Fox News Digital unearthed a four-minute-13-second speech in which Singham stood on a stage at the Golden Tulip Hotel on Nov. 13, 2025, for a conference of the «Global South Academic Forum,» coincidentally just days after the Goldman Sachs’ chief was in Beijing. Tricontinental Ltd., a Singham-funded nonprofit, co-sponsored the event with academic institutions administered by the Chinese Communist Party.
On stage, Singham openly supported a «new world order» promoted by Chinese President Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party. During the speech, he called the United States a «fascist» nation, echoing the propaganda of the Chinese Communist Party now also parroted on the streets by communist, socialist and Democratic Party activists.
WATCH THE NOVEMBER 2025 SINGHAM SPEECH:
The series revealed a 172-page report in which Singham outlined his theory of change, invoking 20th century Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong’s battle plan to wage a «people’s war» to spread communism. Mao was inspired by communist leaders Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin.
LAWMAKERS RAISE ALARM OVER NEVILLE ROY SINGHAM’S $278M NETWORK SPREADING CCP PROPAGANDA IN THE U.S.
Singham’s rise as a global political financier accelerated after his February 2017 marriage to Jodie Evans, the co-founder of Code Pink, a far-left activist group that has aligned itself with authoritarian regimes including the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Communist Party of Cuba and the Chinese Communist Party. According to sources, Evans is also a target of the investigation, emerging as a board member in the U.S. on many of the organizations that Singham funded.
That same year, Singham sold his company, ThoughtWorks, for an estimated $785 million to a London-based private equity firm, Apax Partners. A spokeswoman for Apax Partners said the company wouldn’t disclose the names of the investors who pumped money into that sale, but sources told Fox News Digital that federal investigators are looking for potential ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
After that sale, Fox News Digital found, Singham began directing large sums of money into a network of organizations that now form part of a broader activist infrastructure in the United States and abroad.
In its investigation, Fox News Digital mapped 223 transactions from 2017 through 2025 that moved $591 million across five continents through 67 core groups in the Singham network. They partner with hundreds of groups worldwide, resulting in a network of about 2,000 groups, amplifying anti-U.S., pro-China messages.
Of that money, Fox News Digital established a documented $278 million flowed directly from Singham into organizations that «sow discord» in the U.S., as House Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith put it earlier this year at a hearing a dynamics called «foreign malign influence.»
Following the Money
In money-laundering investigations, prosecutors typically examine three stages of alleged impropriety called «placement,» «layering» and «integration.» Placement refers to the introduction of funds into the financial system. Layering involves moving money through multiple entities or transactions to allegedly obscure its origin. Integration is the point at which the money reemerges as apparently legitimate funding, grants, payments or organizational support.
Step 1: Alleged Placement
Singham allegedly funneled $278 million from Shanghai into the United States through three key channels — the philanthropic arm of Goldman Sachs and two shell corporations that have since gone defunct.
- $164,040,000 to Mutod LLC, a now-defunct shell corporation established in 2017, based in Chicago.
- $110,376,701 to GS Donor Advised Philanthropy Fund For Wealth Management Inc., a philanthropy arm of Goldman Sachs, based in New York City.
- $3,500,000 to Likewise Conceptions LLC, a now-defunct shell corporation established in 2017, based in Crystal Lake, Ill.
Step. 2: Alleged Layering
The three entities then pumped the $278 million into six nonprofits:
- $167,540,000 to People’s Support Foundation Ltd., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established with a hotel address in 2017 in Chicago and Singham’s wife, Evans, on the board.
- $68,748,701 to Justice and Education Fund Inc., a 501(c)(3) established with a UPS Store address in 2018 in New York City with self-avowed communists, including Manola De Los Santos, on the board.
- $22,440,000 to People’s Forum Inc., a 501(c)(3) established in 2017 on W. 37th Street in New York City with Evans and De Los Santos on the board.
- $16,760,000 to Tricontinental Ltd., a 501(c)(3) established in North Hampton, Mass., in 2017 by Singham friend and fellow Marxist ideologue Vijay Prashad.
- $1,330,000 to CodePink Women For Peace, a 501(c)(3) established in 2009 in Marina Del Ray, Calif., by Singham’s wife, Evans, and her friend, Susan Medea Benjamin.
- $1,098,000 to Breakthrough BT Media Inc., a 501(c)(3) established in New York City in 2020 at the People’s Forum headquarters with longtime American communist leader Brian Becker’s son, Ben Becker, as editor-in-chief of its pro-communist propaganda outlet, Breakthrough News.
Step 3: Alleged Integration
The six nonprofits then funneled at least $223 million and other forms of support into a global network of organizations including:
- People’s Welfare Association, a 501(c)(4) established in 2019 with the address of a UPS store in Madison, Wisc., today reporting about $12 million in revenues transformed into grants to undisclosed groups around the world.
- Countless unidentified organizations in six regions around the world, including Subsaharan Africa, Central America and even North America, receiving tens of millions of dollars.
- The ANSWER Coalition, a communist organization whose Chicago address has been listed as the location of the Green Mill Restaurant, a regular haunt for 20th century gangster Al Capone, whom federal prosecutor Elliott Ness prosecuted and convicted for tax evasion.
- The Party for Socialism and Liberation, a loosely-structured organization with shared leadership from the House of Singham, like the Becker father-son duo.

Singham and Evans haven’t responded to repeated requests for comment from Fox News Digital. In January, Becker and De Los Santos refused to respond to questions by Fox News Digital outside the People’s Forum headquarters. Benjamin refused to respond to questions during a protest in May.
The ANSWER Coalition, Breakthrough BT Media Inc., CodePink Women for Peace, Justice and Education Fund Inc., Party for Socialism and Liberation, People’s Forum Inc., People’s Welfare Association and Tricontinental Ltd. also haven’t responded to repeated requests for comment. Representatives for Mutod Ltd. and Likewise Conceptions LLC couldn’t be located.

Irán dilata nuevas reuniones con Estados Unidos e insiste en arancelar el paso por estrecho de Ormuz: se reunió con Omán
Irán informó este lunes que sostuvo su primera reunión con Omán en el marco del comité conjunto creado para definir la futura administración del estrecho de Ormuz, al mismo tiempo que negó que vaya a celebrar en los próximos días ningún encuentro con representantes de Estados Unidos, como habían adelantado medios estadounidenses.
La cancillería iraní confirmó que delegados de Omán e Irán se reunieron en Mascate para “intercambiar puntos de vista” sobre la “futura gestión” de esa vía marítima, clave para el comercio mundial de hidrocarburos. El encuentro corresponde a la primera sesión del Comité Conjunto de Ormuz, que ambos países habían anunciado la semana pasada con el objetivo de alcanzar un acuerdo sobre la administración del estrecho, por donde antes de la guerra transitaba el 20% de los hidrocarburos que se consumen a nivel mundial.
El encuentro en Mascate se produjo después de que Irán y Estados Unidos interrumpieran sus ataques mutuos, según informó Washington. Un funcionario estadounidense anunció el domingo que “ambas partes se abstendrán por ahora y los buques podrán transitar libremente” por el estrecho, y agregó que hay “conversaciones técnicas programadas para continuar sobre todas las áreas del memorándum de entendimiento” firmado el 17 de junio para poner fin a la guerra en Oriente Medio.
La pausa llegó tras un fin de semana de hostilidades: acusando a Irán de haber atacado dos barcos la semana pasada, Estados Unidos bombardeó el sábado la república islámica, y Teherán respondió el domingo con ataques contra Kuwait y Barhrein, países del Golfo que albergan bases estadounidenses. Esos cruces pusieron en vilo el memorando de entendimiento y elevaron la tensión justo antes de la reunión técnica con Omán.
Pese a la confirmación del diálogo con Omán y al anuncio sobre el cese de hostilidades, la diplomacia iraní fue tajante al negar cualquier reunión prevista con representantes de Estados Unidos. La aclaración llegó luego de que medios estadounidenses reportaran que delegados iraníes y estadounidenses se encontrarían este martes en Qatar para abordar específicamente la situación del estrecho.
El mismo funcionario estadounidense que confirmó la tregua no confirmó la versión sobre un encuentro bilateral esta semana en Qatar, algo que Irán terminó de despejar al negarlo de forma explícita.
El trasfondo de ambas conversaciones —con Omán y la negada con Estados Unidos— es la disputa sobre la soberanía y administración del estrecho. Irán lleva semanas sosteniendo que el funcionamiento de Ormuz no volverá a ser como antes de la guerra, cuando era gratuito, una postura a la que se opone Washington. Tanto Irán como Omán reivindican su soberanía sobre la vía y se plantean imponer tasas por su utilización, pese a que la Convención de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Derecho del Mar —que Teherán no ratificó— garantiza un derecho de “paso en tránsito” en los estrechos usados para la navegación internacional.
El estrecho fue reabierto la semana pasada, tras permanecer cerrado por Irán desde el inicio de la guerra, el 28 de febrero, con los ataques conjuntos de Estados Unidos e Israel. Irán insiste en que los buques deben circular por un corredor cercano a sus propias costas, aunque esta semana decenas de embarcaciones optaron por el lado opuesto del canal, pegado al litoral omaní. El ministro de Exteriores iraní, Abás Araqchi, reiteró el domingo que solo Irán es “responsable” de la gestión del estrecho y advirtió que adoptar medidas distintas “solo conducirá a situaciones más complicadas y a retrasos en la reapertura” de Ormuz.
Las negociaciones se dan en un clima de tensión militar latente: acusando a Irán de haber atacado dos barcos la semana pasada, Estados Unidos bombardeó el sábado la república islámica, y Teherán respondió el domingo con ataques contra Kuwait y Baréin, países del Golfo que albergan bases estadounidenses, en hostilidades que pusieron en vilo el memorando de entendimiento firmado el 17 de junio.
