- Trump, Israel have Iran leaders shaking in their boots: (Michael Goodwin/NY Post 4/12)
- Nearly 20 years ago, Henry Kissinger established the rules for decoding the push and pull of Iran’s foreign policy. Iran, Kissinger famously said, had to decide whether it is “a country or a cause.”
- His challenge revolved around the question of whether the ayatollah and his government were pragmatic in dealing with other nations, or militarily fanatical in a quest to spread their Islamic revolution.
- The ensuing years of regional terrorism, threats of war against America, Israel and Arab nations and oppression at home provide mountains of evidence that Iran is not interested in normal statecraft.
- Is Tehran looking for an escape route or are they just looking to delay, delay, delay?
- Is Andrew Cuomo the next Mayor of NYC?

- Cara, as a supporter of January 6th prisoners, what was your response to Kash Patel appointing Dem-Com operative Steve Jensen to lead the Washington Field office of the FBI?

Segment Topic:
- The domestic war on illegal immigration:
- What is the CHNV Program?
- Humanitarian Parole for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans was a program under which citizens of these four countries, and their immediate family members, could be paroled into the United States for a period of up to two years if a person in the US agreed to financially support them.
- Last Thursday, Massachusetts District Judge Indira Talwani said in a hearing that she plans to block the Trump administration’s revocation of parole of aliens under the CHNV program. Judge Talwani’s statements come after the Trump administration formally terminated the program last month and announced that parole for Cuban, Haitian, and Nicaraguans and Venezuelans would expire April 24. (FAIR)
- The revocation of parole for aliens who entered through the CHNV program was the latest in a series of moves taken by the Trump administration to end the illegal parole program launched by the Biden administration over two years ago. On his first day in office, President Trump issued an Executive Order, entitled “Securing Our Borders,” which directed DHS to end the CHNV program. Within days, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued an internal memo suspending the intakeof any new CHNV applications. In February, DHS announced it was halting any immigration benefits requests (such as work permits) made by CHNV parolees.
- Who is this Federal Judge: Indira Talwani (born October 6, 1960) is a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Appointed by Obama in 2014.
- Why does a Federal Judge in Mass. get to rule on this case?

- El Salvador's President Bukele says he won't return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to U.S.
- Garcia is a member of MS-13 (per a Federal Judge) and was due to be deported.
