Trump terminates Obama-era climate change policy
The Trump administration on Thursday terminated the Environmental Protection Agency’s “Endangerment Finding,” a landmark policy that led to sweeping climate change regulations and higher costs across the country.
“This action will eliminate over $1.3 trillion in regulatory costs and help bring car prices tumbling down dramatically,” President Donald Trump said. “This radical rule became the legal foundation for the green new scam.”
Trump also said he will terminate green emissions standards on vehicle models produced between 2012 and 2027.
The finding is based on a 2009 action from the Obama administration that restricted greenhouse gas emissions including carbon dioxide and methane. The finding allowed the federal government to restrict these emissions under the Clean Air Act because it claimed the greenhouse gasses posed a threat to public health and welfare.
America’s Power President and CEO Michelle Bloodworth said in a statement provided to The Center Square that the Endangerment Finding threatened the U.S. electric grid by forcing coal plants to shutter.
“EPA’s Endangerment Finding has been used as the basis for regulations that threaten the reliability of our nation’s electric grid,” Bloodworth said . “These regulations, such as President Obama’s Clean Power Plan and President Biden’s Clean Power Plan 2.0, were designed to force the premature retirement of coal power plants across the U.S. and increase our nation’s reliance on electricity sources that are not as reliable as coal.
“Utilities have announced plans to retire more than 55,000 megawatts of coal-fired generation over the next five years,” Bloodworth said. “Reversing these retirement decisions could help offset the need to build new, more expensive electricity sources and prevent the loss of reliability attributes, such as fuel security, that the coal fleet provides. Forcing the retirement of America’s coal fleet and jeopardizing our electricity supply makes no sense because the U.S. coal fleet is responsible for just 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions while China and India’s emissions account for nearly 40%. The U.S. must take advantage of our coal assets, just as our global competitors are relying on coal to fuel their own economic growth.”..
Activist Judge Releases Four Criminal Illegal Aliens Convicted of Murder, Child Sex Crimes
“Judge John deGravelles, appointed by Barack Obama, released FOUR violent criminals back onto American communities, and unfortunately, the ramifications will only be the continued rape, murder, assault, and robbery of more American victims,” Assistant Department of Homeland Secretary (DHS) Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in written statement.
“Releasing these monsters is inexcusably reckless. President Trump and Secretary Noem are now enforcing the law and arresting illegal aliens who have no right to be in our country. We are applying the law as written. If an immigration judge finds an illegal alien has no right to be in this country, we are going to remove them. Period.”
According to a DHS press release, the judge released:
- Ibrahim Ali Mohammed, a criminal illegal alien from Ethiopia, who has been convicted of sexual exploitation of a minor. An immigration judge ordered his removal in 2024. He was released by the Biden administration.
- Luis Gaston-Sanchez, a criminal illegal alien from Cuba, who was convicted of homicide, assault, resisting an officer, concealing stolen property, and two counts of robbery. An immigration judge ordered his removal in 2001.
- Ricardo Blanco Chomat, a criminal illegal alien from Cuba, who was convicted of homicide, kidnapping, aggravating assault with a firearm, burglary, larceny, and selling cocaine. An immigration judge ordered his removal in 2002.
- Francisco Rodriguez-Romero, a criminal illegal alien from Cuba, convicted for homicide and a weapons offense. An immigration judge ordered his removal in 1995.
Last September, DHS partnered with the state of Louisiana to expand ICE detention at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, otherwise known as Angola Prison.
Tom Homan Touts Illegal Migrant Roundup Success as He Ends ‘Metro Surge’ in Minneapolis
Federal officers will remain in the city to deport dangerous migrants, and to pick up migrants who have been jailed by local police, Homan told reporters this morning:
I’m very pleased to report that the surge operation and our work here with state and local officials to improve coordination and achieve mutual goals … have yielded the successful results we’ve came here for. The Twin Cities and Minnesota in general are and will continue to be much safer for the community because of what we have accomplished under President Trump’s leadership.
Homan promised that the nation’s popular immigration laws would continue to be enforced in Minnesota:
Prioritization of public safety threats doesn’t mean we forget about everybody else [non-violent migrants]. We’re going to enforce the immigration law. We’re going to have a mass deportation. President Trump promised that, and we’re committed to that.
He continued:
Many criminal aliens have been arrested and taken off the streets, including murderers, sex offenders, gang members, and other violent criminals … We have already arrested more than 200 people for violations [of criminal law].
Nationwide, Homan and his peers have deported more than 400,000 migrants since Trump’s confirmation in January 2025, including more than 150,000 economic migrants. The vast majority of deportations have been done without alarming swing-voters because GOP-aligned voters control the local governments and police forces.
But the Minneapolis pullback is also a political concession to the pro-migration nexus of Democrats, far-left radicals, business groups, and establishment media….
