Good morning, Wake Up Right fam! Rep. Nancy Mace pushed for a resolution yesterday that would have forced the release of sexual harassment claims made against U.S. lawmakers. However, the House effectively killed it, voting 357-65 to refer the resolution to the Ethics Committee, where it is certain to be rejected.
💬 Rep. Nancy Mace responded on X, writing: "The loudest voices screaming "Release the Epstein Files" just voted to BURY the sexual harassment files of Members of Congress. Get it now?"
💬 Rep. Anna Paulina Luna added: "Most of Congress just voted to kill the bill that would expose slush funds used to pay off sexual harassment cases by members of Congress. Both parties helped cover up.”

Supreme Court unanimously backs Trump on asylum
This is an AI-generated image.
The Supreme Court handed President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda a major boost Wednesday, unanimously ruling that federal courts must defer to immigration judges when reviewing asylum claims.
The details: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, writing for the unanimous court, said immigration law requires federal courts to apply a “substantial evidence” standard when reviewing asylum rulings.
In plain English: The activist left-wing judges overturning immigration judges’ deportation orders must cut it out.
Back up: The dispute centered on Urias-Orellana v. Bondi, involving a Salvadoran family that entered the U.S. illegally in 2021 and sought asylum. An immigration judge ruled the threats he described did not meet the legal standard for persecution.
Zoom out: Under U.S. law, illegal aliens can claim asylum when entering the country. Then Immigration judges (who work for Trump’s DOJ) determine whether the claim qualifies. Any appeals go to the Board of Immigration Appeals and potentially to federal courts.
The numbers: Since Trump's return to office, Democrats have clogged up the immigration courts with bogus challenges. One analysis found a 434% surge in lawsuits from illegal aliens challenging deportations.
Big picture: The decision reinforces the principle that immigration enforcement authority rests primarily with the executive branch – a major win for Trump’s deportation efforts.

Dems ignored warnings before illegal killed Virginia mom
Newly uncovered emails reveal Fairfax County police repeatedly warned local prosecutors about a violent illegal alien – months before he allegedly stabbed a Virginia mother to death at a bus stop.
The details: Abdul Jalloh, a 32-year-old illegal alien from Sierra Leone, is charged with murdering Stephanie Minter, 41, during a February stabbing at a Fairfax County bus stop.
Rap sheet: Police records show Jalloh had more than 30 arrests and over 170 police encounters spanning a decade – including accusations of rape, assault, malicious wounding, drug possession, and multiple stabbing incidents.
Why wasn’t he locked up already? Democrat policies. Many of the charges were dismissed or dropped by local prosecutors.
Ignored warnings: Emails obtained by local media show Fairfax County police warned the office of Democratic Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano about Jalloh at least three times before the killing.
📧 One e-mail put it bluntly: “It is not a question of if, but rather when he will maliciously wound (or worse) again.”
Big picture: The case has intensified criticism of Democratic immigration policies. Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger has declined to honor an ICE detainer tied to Jalloh without a judicial warrant. The Department of Homeland Security blasted the decision, saying officials are “protecting a murderer over American citizens.”
