A new report from the House Judiciary Committee reveals that nearly one million illegal immigrants are staying in the U.S. indefinitely. Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce explains. According to the report, the cases for about a million illegal immigrants were dismissed or closed by the Department of Justice and Homeland Security. The report details the Biden administration's use of procedural tactics to allow many immigrants to avoid deportation.

The backlog in immigration courts with millions of unresolved cases has led to a prioritization of high-risk individuals, leaving hundreds of thousands of others in limbo. The Biden administration has defended its approach, claiming a drop in border encounters and increased removals. Critics have called this quiet amnesty that undermines immigration law and encourages further illegal immigration.

North Carolina voters will decide on an amendment to clarify that only U.S. citizens are eligible to vote in state elections. Daily Wire deputy managing editor Tim Rice has more. House Bill 1074, known as the citizen-only voting amendment, would update the state constitution to specify that only a citizen can vote. Critics argue that the amendment is unnecessary and could marginalize immigrant communities.

While non-citizens are already prohibited from voting, supporters believe the amendment is necessary to strengthen confidence in elections, especially amid concerns about immigration. Early voting is already underway in the state.

Vice President Kamala Harris joined CNN last night for a town hall event during which she doubled down on her claims that Trump is a fascist and a threat to the country. Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist? Yes, I do. Yes, I do. She also accused him of wanting military loyalty similar to Adolf Hitler's. Citing former Trump chief of staff John Kelly, Harris alleged that Trump is unstable and unfit to serve.

Trump has fired back on social media, dismissing Kelly's claims as nonsense and politically motivated. Other critics have blasted Harris and Kelly's comments, saying this type of rhetoric is what led to two attempts on Trump's life. This episode is brought to you by Birch Gold Group.

The ex-girlfriend of Vice President Kamala Harris' husband, who says he slapped her at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, has come forward with more details. Daily Wire reporter Amanda Prestigiacomo has more. The woman a New York attorney referred to as Jane told DailyMail.com that Doug Emhoff hit her so hard that she spun around. She also said that Emhoff told her about impregnating the nanny of his child and that it led to his previous divorce.

She says she decided to speak out after Emhoff denied the accusation, citing his fabricated persona as a feminist.

Emhoff's spokesperson has dismissed the claims as untrue. The Harris campaign has yet to respond. And the head of the Los Angeles Times editorial board quit after the paper declined to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris's presidential campaign. Editorial editor Mariel Garza says she resigned in protest yesterday, claiming that she was blocked by the paper's ownership from endorsing Harris. The paper had endorsed every Democratic presidential candidate since 2008.

She said, quote, I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I'm not okay with us being silent. The paper has not elaborated on how the decision was made to not endorse a candidate.
