On July 16, 2026, the White House published the release Trump Administration Unleashes Global Campaign to Crush Radical Left Terrorism announcing their intent to eradicate violent ideology targeting law enforcement, citizens, and the foundations of free societies. The Trump Administration will use the same methods they have used to deal with jihadist terrorism to deal with this radical left terrorism. Three of the key players in this campaign have stated the following:
Secretary of State Marco Rubio
Our counterterrorism doctrine has had a blind spot when it comes to extremist violence from the political left. Even today, the very idea that far-left terrorism could be a serious threat is treated as a right-wing fever dream.
Today, we face a new wave of this old evil. Here in the United States, the share of left-wing terrorist attacks and plots has risen to levels not seen in decades… Americans have seen what those numbers mean.
Antifa militants and their comrades travel from across Europe and to the Americas to participate in each other’s attacks, to funnel propaganda and training, materials, and target information through shared encrypted channels — moving through underground networks of safe houses, and finance and sustain their operations through transnational funds.
Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent
At President Trump’s direction, Treasury is expanding its efforts to identify organizations that abuse charitable and nonprofit structures as vehicles for illicit finance. We are examining where tax-exempt status has been exploited, where charitable entities have become financial conduits for foreign influence activity….
We will identify illicit funding, however artfully it is concealed. We will dismantle the networks that sustain political terrorism, however respectable their fronts may be. We will pursue those who enable political violence, however distant their jurisdictions.
Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller
One of the hallmarks of left-wing violence and terrorism is its completely pre-textual and disingenuous appeal to civil liberties in an effort to shield its own violence… When the leftist — who does not believe in freedom, who does not believe in civil rights, who does not believe in any ordinary notion of justice — protests that we are violating his rights, understand the he is lying to try to persuade people who are not closely following the political scene that some injustice has perpetrated against him. We must stay the course and be completely unflinching in the pursuit of justice against these enemies of civilization.
Here in the United States, we have taken the necessary and essential action formally recognizing left-wing violence as a form of political terrorism that is a direct threat to our national security and the survival of our republican form of government.
The release concludes:
Under President Trump, Radical Left terrorism is finally being confronted as the organized, transnational threat it actually is.
On July 17, 2026, President Trump attended the FIFA World Cup reception which was held at Trump Tower in NYC. Sunday, July 19, 2026 is the final game of the FIFA World Cup for this season.
Significant transnational criminal organizations continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.
Hostage-taking and the wrongful detention of United States nationals are heinous acts that undermine the rule of law. Terrorist organizations, criminal groups, and other malicious actors who take hostages for financial, political, or other gain—as well as foreign states that engage in the practice of wrongful detention, including for political leverage or to seek concessions from the United States—threaten the integrity of the international political system and the safety of United States nationals and other persons abroad. Hostage-taking and the wrongful detention of United States nationals abroad continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.
On July 17, 2026, the FR published 3 additional proclamations:
On June 1, 2026, the Trade Representative determined that Brazil's actions were unreasonable or discriminatory. The Trade Representative discussed these findings with the Government of Brazil but their solution has not been adequate. The Trade Representative proposed a 25% tariff on all good from Brazil. Comments were solicited and a 2-day public hearing was held July 6 & 7, 2026 with over 360 written comments and 77 witnesses. From this public hearing, a list of products/materials was generated exempting them from the 25% tariff.
Section 1 - Tariffs and Exemptions - The Trade Representative is directed to impose a tariff of 25% on all goods from Brazil with exemptions for certain goods as proposed with the goal of having Brazil eliminate the acts, policies, and practices found to be actionable under section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 as amended (19 USC 2411).
Section 2 - General Provisions - This memorandum is subject to applicable law.
Section 3 - Publication - The Trade Representative is directed to publish this memorandum in the FR.
The SENATE convened on July 16, 2026 at 10am and adjourned at 3:51pm. They held 2 votes.
Vote 199 - On the Motion to Proceed - SJR198 - A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services of the Department of Health and Human Services relating to "Medicare Program; Implementation of Prior Authorization for Select Services for the Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction (WISeR) Model". - Rejected 46-50
Vote 198 - On the Cloture Motion - PN851-8 - Kara Marie Westercamp - The Judiciary received March 2,2 026 - Agreed to 49-48
The SENATE will reconvene July 20, 2026 at 3pm. So another 3-day weekend!
The HOUSE convened July 16, 2026 at 9am and adjourned at 12:15pm.
Vote 249 - YEA-AND-NAY On Motion to Recommit - HR9237 - Take Care of America’s Veterans Act - Failed 210 to 211 with 10 members not voting
Vote 248 - 2/3 YEA-AND-NAY On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass - HR5362 - To name the Department of Veterans Affairs multispecialty clinic in Marietta, Georgia, as the "Colonel Michael H. Boyce Department of Veterans Affairs Multispecialty Clinic" - Passed 418 to 0 with 13 members not voting
The HOUSE convened July 18, 2026 at 10am (a Saturday?).
So instead of addressing the SAVE America Act, the Senate decided to take yet another 3 day weekend? They must be inundated with calls, texts, emails, and letters from their constituents demanding the SAVE America Act be passed after President Trump's declassified document dump!
18 SCOTUS stays or motions to vacate of lower court orders
2 SCOTUS affirmation of lower court order
11 suits where judges ruled for the federal government
16 suits where judges ruled against the federal government
7 criminal prosecutions by the DOJ
A new lawsuit Khalil v. The Heritage Foundation docket # 1:26-cv-05929 filed in District Court, S.D. New York on July 14, 2026 about Detention of Mahmoud Khalil where Mahmoud Khalil sued the federal government and private actors under the KKK Act of 1871, alleging they carried out a conspiracy targeting pro-Palestinian non-citizens for arrest, detention, and deportation as punishment for their support of Palestinian rights. The lawsuit seeks a jury trial along with the following relief:
For compensatory and punitive damages in an amount to be proven at trial;
For a declaratory judgment that Defendants’ conduct was and continues to be in violation of 42 U.S.C. §§ 1985 and 1986, and that Federal Defendants’ conduct reflects a retributive and unconstitutional Bill of Attainder, and an injunction prohibiting continued reliance on unconstitutional and pretextual grounds for detention and removal;
For reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit; and
For all such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper.
Plaintiffs are represented by Beldock, Levine & Foffman LLP and Center for Constitutional Rights.
On July 14, 2026, Plaintiffs submitted a Related Case Statement involving the same plaintiff.
On July 15, 2026, this suit was assigned to Judge Arun Subramanian as possibly related to 1:25-cv-2079. The Court Listener did not have this related case in their database. The other lawsuit (which does not carry this docket # so my guess is someone made a typo on the docket number) involving this plaintiff was discussed in my January 25, 2026 ANP Article as:
In the lawsuit, Khalil v. United States of America docket # 25-2162 and 25-2357 appeal of 2:25-cv-01963 was filed in 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals on June 23, 2025 about Judge Farbiarz's order granting the release Mahmoud Khalil. On January 15, 2026, the Judges Hardiman, Bibas, and Freeman, 3rd Circuit Court Judges ordered judgements of April 29, May 28, June 11, June 20, and July 17, 2025 to be vacated and remanded back to District Court with instructions to dismiss for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. So the government's appeals have been denied and Khalil is a free roaming illegal alien.
This current lawsuit, in my opinion, is only related because it's the same plaintiff. This current lawsuit is challenging the Secretary of State's method enforcement of Immigration Law.
President Trump’s address contained no new information.
We already knew foreign adversaries try to interfere in our elections.
President Trump was in office in 2020, so he was undermined by his own team.
The voter data China obtained is already public information anyway.
There is no evidence they were able to change the outcome of votes.
The number of non-citizens on voter rolls is insignificant.
There is no evidence of fraud or irregularities in our elections.
Mail-in voting is safe and secure.
The thing is, most of the people making these claims did not watch the speech nor go to the White House website to download and view the materials presented.
The release concludes:
President Trump is demanding accountability. He has directed the Director of National Intelligence, Department of Justice, FBI, and CIA to investigate how this critical intelligence was hidden from the sitting President and the American people — and to hold those responsible accountable, including potential criminal charges.
These disclosures make one thing clear: America’s election system is broken and exposed. That is why President Trump is calling on Congress to immediately pass the SAVE America Act and safeguard our elections against exactly this kind of exploitation.
The Alien Voter Registration Summary is a review from Homeland Security National Security Investigations on multiple investigations into allegations of non-citizen voting and registration. DHS has a system called "SAVE" (Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements) that is available to the States against which each state can compare their voter registration rolls to find deceased registrants as well as non-citizen registrants currently on their rolls.
A total of 10 States: Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas; have processed their full voter lists. They found 360,176 deceased people and 10,716 non-citizens on their voter rolls. In addition, 25 other states have processed 68 million registration records (not their full voter rolls like the first 10 did) identifying over 400,000 deceased people and over 28,000 non-citizens out of the 68 million records processed (only the 10 states listed above have run their full voter registration rolls through the SAVE system, the others have yet to be identified and their numbers so far have not been released).
Of course, these numbers do not include California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or Nevada. DHS has notified these states of this serious threat to national security. DHS is ready, able, and willing to assist these states in removing ineligible people from their voter rolls. And this assistance is FREE! It costs the states nothing to process their state voter rolls through the DHS SAVE system. DHS has found that sanctuary states, counties, and cities have a disproportionate number of non-citizens on their voters rolls. In addition, those states that KNOW they have non-citizens on their voter rolls are being non-cooperative with DHS and DOJ.
DHS is supporting the DOJ's review of voter files under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 and the Help America Vote Act of 2002.
HR2 - National Voter Registration Act of 1993 was introduced by Al Swift (D-WA-2) on January 5, 1993. It became Public Law 103-31 (107 STAT 77) on May 20, 1993 to establish national voter registration for Federal elections and for other purposes. Section 2 (a)(1) states: the right of CITIZENS of the United States to vote is a fundamental right and Section 8(b) requires states to maintain an accurate and current voter registration roll. PL 103-31 became effective on January 1, 1995.
HR3295 - Help America Vote Act of 2002 was introduced by Robert W Ney (R-OH-18) on November 14, 2001. It became Public Law 107-252 (116 STAT 1666) on October 29, 2002 to establish a program to provide funds to States to replace punch card voting systems, to establish the Election Assistance Commission to assist in the administration of Federal elections and to otherwise provide assistance with the administration of certain Federal election laws and programs, to establish minimum election administration standards for States and units of local government with responsibility for the administration of Federal elections, and for other purposes. PL 107-252 was approved on October 29, 2002.
This document also calls out activist Judge Sparkle Sooknanan who ruled against DHS offering this service (discussed in my November 19, 2025 and July 6, 2026 ANP Articles). As a result, ineligible alien voters remain on state voter rolls diluting the votes of US Citizens.
Judge Sooknanan, was confirmed by the Senate PN14363 to be United States District Judge for the District of Columbia, on December 3, 2024 in a 51 (47 Democrats & 4 Independents) to 49 (all Republicans) vote. She was born in Trinidad and Tobago and attended Brooklyn Law School in 2010. She also worked at DOJ from 2021 to 2023. She went from there to the Civil Rights Division until her appointment to the bench.
But now there has been a twist in the case. According to Florida's Voice journalist Frank Kopylov, District Judge T Kent Wetherell II has ruled that Sooknanan's order violates a November 2025 settlement he negotiated between DHS and the State of Florida by disabling the SSN feature of the SAVE system. In the settlement, Judge Wetherell retained the rights to enforce the agreement. Judge Wetherell further stated:
the SSN-search functions align with 8 U.S.C. §1373, which overrides other restrictions on sharing citizenship or immigration status information, and fall within Privacy Act exceptions for routine uses.
By complying with Judge Sooknanan's order, DHS has violated Judge Wetherell's adjudicated settlement. Judge Wetherell has determined that these features do not violate Federal law and demands DHS comply with the negotiated agreement.
Those are some of the exact words used by Google’s censors, aka 'Orwellian content police,' in describing many of our controversial stories. Stories later proven to be truthful and light years ahead of the mainstream media. But because we reported those 'inconvenient truths' they're trying to bankrupt ANP.
