Illegal Migrant Processing Centers Are Shuttering… Because There Aren’t Any New Illegal Migrants.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: U.S. Border Patrol is shuttering an illegal immigrant processing facility in the San Diego Sector, as the number of unlawful border crossings has plummeted by over 96 percent under President Donald J. Trump.

👥 Who’s Involved: U.S. Border Patrol; the former Biden government, and the Trump Administration.

📍 Where & When: San Diego Sector; May 27, 2025.

⚠️ Impact: President Trump’s push to mass deport criminal illegal immigrants and shut down illegal border crossings has caused a dramatic decline in unlawful entries into the United States. The San Diego Sector has seen a 96 percent drop in illegal crossings, while encounters are down by an estimated 95 percent.

IN FULL:

A temporary illegal immigrant processing facility in the San Diego Sector, constructed during the Biden government, has been dismantled following a sharp decline in illegal border crossings, U.S. Border Patrol announced. The facility’s removal comes as the sector reports an over 96 percent drop in illegal entries, reflecting intensified border enforcement measures.

The San Diego Sector, a historically active area for illegal crossings, saw a dramatic decrease in activity, prompting authorities to decommission the soft-sided structure. The Biden government initially established the facility to manage high volumes of foreign nationals entering the U.S. illegally under the Democrats.

This development coincides with nationwide efforts under President Donald J. Trump to apprehend and remove criminal illegal immigrants. Over the past weekend alone, authorities say they’ve made multiple arrests of individuals with serious criminal records as part of that effort.

The National Pulse has previously reported on Trump White House border czar Tom Homan stating that the total number of illegal immigrant “gotaways” has dropped by 99.99 percent since the American First leader took office. Meanwhile, total border encounters across sectors are down by an estimated 95 percent.

Dismantling the San Diego processing facility marks an important step in the continued transition away from the former Biden government’s open borders policies. Under Trump, border resources that had previously been used to encourage mass immigration, such as the CBP One app, have been retooled to discourage illegal crossings and encourage illegal immigrants in the United States to self-deport.

King Charles Engages in Cringeworthy ‘Land Acknowledgement’ While Opening Canadian Parliament.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: King Charles III delivered his first in-person Speech from the Throne in Canada, opening with a so-called “land acknowledgment” and endorsing the liberal agenda of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s minority government.

👤 Who’s Involved: King Charles III, the Algonquin Anishinaabe people, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, and U.S. President Donald J. Trump.

🧾Key Quote: “We are gathered on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg people,” the King said.

⚠️Fallout: The King’s remarks were seen as affirming progressive land ownership narratives and indirectly criticizing President Donald J. Trump’s America First.

📌 Significance: Charles’s speech reflects a sharp pivot from traditional neutrality to overt political signaling—endorsing globalism, challenging U.S. influence, and parroting leftist rhetoric on land and immigration in his official role as Canada’s monarch.

IN FULL:

King Charles III has delivered his first Speech from the Throne as King of Canada in Ottawa, the first offered by a Sovereign in person, rather than by the Governor-General who represents him in countries beyond the United Kingdom, since the late Queen Elizabeth II in 1977. However, he began it with a so-called “land acknowledgement,” implying that Indians—as Canadian natives are officially termed—are the true owners of the land Ottawa stands on. The Democrats announced their 2024 platform with a similar acknowledgment in the U.S.

“I would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg people,” the King said from the throne in the Senate Chamber of the Parliament of Canada, continuing: “This land acknowledgement is a recognition of shared history as a nation.”

“While continuing to deepen my own understanding, it is my great hope that in each of your communities, and collectively as a country, a path is found toward truth and reconciliation, in both word and deed,” he added.

The King’s speech, written by the Liberal minority government of Prime Minister Mark Carney, also appeared to take several digs at U.S. President Donald J. Trump, who has talked about Canada becoming his country’s 51st state. “As the anthem reminds us: The True North is indeed strong and free!” the King said, in what is widely interpreted as a reference to the “51st state” discourse.

He also said the “system of open global trade that, while not perfect, has helped to deliver prosperity for Canadians for decades, is changing,” adding, “Canada’s relationships with partners are also changing,” in what was obviously a reference to President Trump’s tariff policies.

The speech also endorsed mass migration, stating that ” a confident Canada, which has welcomed new Canadians, including from some of the most tragic global conflict zones, can seize this opportunity by recognising that all Canadians can give themselves far more than any foreign power on any continent can ever take away.”

America’s Internet Infrastructure Is Riddled with Chinese Spy Tech. Here’s How…

PULSE POINTS:

❓What happened: Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commissioner Nathan Simington warned that Chinese telecom giant Huawei embedded potentially dangerous hardware in rural U.S. Internet infrastructure near military sites, exploiting a funding delay in Congress’s mandated removal plan.

👤Who’s Involved: Nathan Simington, the FCC, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Huawei, Congress, and rural American telecom providers.

🧾Key Quote: “Huawei had a great business… because the first hit is free,” Simington said.

⚠️Fallout: The $4.98 billion “rip and replace” effort remains incomplete, leaving U.S. national security vulnerable to Chinese surveillance via telecom and even solar infrastructure.

📌Significance: Simington’s revelations expose the extent to which CCP-linked companies penetrated America’s digital backbone and how regulatory inaction and cost-cutting left critical systems exposed to foreign adversaries.

IN FULL:

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commissioner Nathan Simington warns that Huawei’s infiltration of rural American Internet networks has turned them into potential “pain points” for national security. In an interview, Simington outlined how the Chinese telecom giant embedded its low-cost equipment in rural broadband infrastructure, particularly in regions surrounding sensitive U.S. military installations.

Though Congress passed a 2019 mandate requiring the removal of Huawei hardware from U.S. networks, lawmakers failed to fund the effort for years. The required $4.98 billion wasn’t approved until December—leaving a dangerous gap in which Chinese components remained active in vital communication systems across the country.

“You probably saw last week that we found undisclosed communications equipment in some Chinese-made solar panels,” Simington said. “The solar panels have the ability to phone home just like E.T.… At a certain point, you have to ask yourself, what isn’t phoning home?”

The FCC’s “rip and replace” initiative was originally projected to cost $1.9 billion. Simington now places the estimate at $5.6 billion, a staggering overrun he sees as the inevitable cost of relying on “cheap” solutions offered by the Chinese Communist Party’s tech arms. “There’s nothing as expensive as a cheap product,” he said.

Huawei’s predatory pricing strategy—offering razor-thin financing terms like zero percent interest for up to 60 years—effectively locked in small rural telecom companies operating on the margins. “Huawei had a great business… because the first hit is free,” Simington explained. “Huawei doesn’t need to make profits in order to compete in the capital markets for investor capital the way that a normal company in the United States or elsewhere in the free world would.”

Perhaps most alarming was Simington’s allegation that Huawei specifically targeted rural providers near U.S. military installations, raising red flags about foreign surveillance. “If an American company had pulled the same stunt in China,” he said, “the executives would have found themselves in shallow graves.”

While Simington made clear he’s not advocating for similar measures, he emphasized the situation is “really intolerable.”

REVEALED: ‘Politburo’ of Aides That Controlled Biden White House.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: A cabal of close and influential aides worked to hide Joe Biden’s cognitive and physical decline from the press and others in the Democratic government, including senior cabinet officials.

👥 Who’s Involved: President Joe Biden, First Lady Jill Biden, longtime aides Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti, Bruce Reed, Ron Klain, Anthony Bernal, and Annie Tomasini.

📍 Where & When: The allegations that aides covered up Biden’s cognitive and physical decline surfaced in July 2024 but have drawn increasing media attention with the publication of Original Sin on May 20, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “When you’re voting for president, you’re voting for the aides around him,” a Biden staffer reportedly told Original Sin author Alex Thompson.

⚠️ Impact: Claims raise questions about transparency, Biden’s fitness for office, and the Biden government’s handling of national security and policy issues.

IN FULL:

Evidence continues to mount that a covert operation within the Biden government, comprised of a tight-knit group of aides, worked to obscure President Joe Biden’s mental decline while effectively running the White House. Author and journalist Alex Thompson describes the group as a “politburo” of longtime aides Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti, Bruce Reed, Ron Klain, Anthony Bernal, and Annie Tomasini. Last summer, The National Pulse reported that Bernal, Tomasini, and aide Ashley Williams served as intermediaries between Joe and Jill Biden and senior White House officials, effectively shielding the octogenarian Democrat from his own cabinet.

Thompson, the co-author of Original Sin, states concerns about Biden’s capacity to endure a reelection campaign or another term were raised by administration insiders as early as April 2023. Notably, even Biden’s doctor, Kevin O’Connor, who repeatedly told the American public that Biden’s health was fine, privately told White House aides that if the president suffered a fall in 2023 or 2024, he would likely need to be confined to a wheelchair and face an arduous recovery.

The protective environment around Biden became so fervent that at least one aide remarked that Biden “just had to win, and then he could disappear for four years,” with aides taking over day-to-day responsibilities. “When you’re voting for president, you’re voting for the aides around him,” the staffer allegedly stated. Even more concerning, at least two cabinet members are alleged to have expressed doubts regarding Biden’s cognitive state and ability to handle critical national security situations, such as a potential “2:00 AM crisis call.”

In January, The National Pulse reported that presidential historian Douglas Brinkley acknowledged that Biden was effectively unable to function as Commander-in-Chief during his final years in office. Like Thompson and reports last summer, Brinkley states that a cadre of key White House aides both hid Biden’s infirmities and effectively ran the country in his stead. Brinkley likened the situation to former President Woodrow Wilson, who suffered a stroke largely hidden from the American public. Following the stroke, his wife, Edith Wilson, essentially ran the country.

As allegations mounted in recent weeks regarding the cover-up of Biden’s mental and physical decline, the Biden family announced last week that Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. Typically slow-developing, prostate cancer is often caught in its early stages through PSA tests and routine prostate exams, though Biden’s medical records are unclear if he received either while serving as president.

Consumer Confidence in Trump Economy Surges.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Consumer confidence in the U.S. saw a sharp rebound in May.

👥 Who’s Involved: U.S. consumers; President Donald J. Trump; The Conference Board.

📍 Where & When: United States; May 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “The rebound was already visible before the May 12 US-China trade deal but gained momentum afterwards,” said Conference Board senior economist Stephanie Guichard.

⚠️ Impact: Economic optimism has increased following President Trump’s recent trade deals.

IN FULL:

Consumer confidence in the United States experienced a notable recovery in May 2025, breaking a five-month streak of declining sentiment. The Conference Board reported Tuesday that its consumer confidence index surged by 12.3 points, rising to 98 from April’s 85.7. This marks a significant improvement from the prior month and is well above forecasted expectations of 86.

The improvement in consumer sentiment coincides with recent trade deals and policy adjustments by President Donald J. Trump. A series of tariff pauses and negotiated reductions appear to have alleviated some of the economic uncertainty stirred up by anti-tariff commentators. President Trump has also struck trade deals with Britain and China, and secured investments worth trillions of dollars from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in recent days.

The rebound in confidence suggests that Americans are beginning to feel more optimistic about the economic outlook. The data reflects a shift in public sentiment as trade tensions ease, and the tariff policy’s goal of reshoring manufacturing to the U.S. begins to bear fruit, with major businesses such as Nvidia announcing major investments in domestic production.

Trump Deprives Harvard of Federal Contracts, Citing Anti-White, Anti-Semitic Behavior.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: President Donald J. Trump is withdrawing federal funding from Harvard University due to racial discrimination against white and Asian applicants, as well as anti-Semitism.

👥 Who’s Involved: President Trump, Harvard University, the General Services Administration (GSA), and federal agencies.

📍 Where & When: A draft letter from the GSA to federal agencies, with contract terminations requested by June 6.

💬 Key Quote: “Harvard continues to engage in race discrimination, including in its admissions process and in other areas of student life… These are the direct results of employing discriminatory factors, instead of merit, in admission decisions.” — General Services Administration letter to federal agencies.

⚠️ Impact: Federal grants worth approximately $100 million will be cut, with contracts for essential services being reassigned to other vendors.

IN FULL:

President Donald J. Trump has instructed the withdrawal of all remaining federal funding from Harvard University, citing concerns over anti-Semitism and racial discrimination against white people and Asians. The move, outlined in a draft letter issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) to federal agencies, impacts approximately $100 million in federal grants.

The letter references the Supreme Court case Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, which revealed significant disparities in acceptance rates among racial groups within the top academic decile. “In this decile, admissions rates were: 56 percent for African Americans, 31 percent for Hispanics: 15 percent for Whites: 13 percent for Asians,” the letter states.

“The Supreme Court, in its decision on the case, rebuked Harvard’s long-standing policy and practice of discriminating on the basis of race,” it continues. “Harvard has shown no indication of reforming their admissions process—to the contrary. Harvard now has to offer a remedial math course, which has been described as ‘middle school math’ for incoming freshmen. These are the direct results of employing discriminatory factors, instead of merit, in admission decisions.”

The letter also accuses the institution of “anti-Semitic action” and a lack of concern for the safety and well-being of Jewish students.

The GSA has instructed federal agencies to provide a list of contracts with Harvard by June 6 for termination. While contracts for essential services will not be canceled immediately, they will be transferred to other vendors.

This decision marks the latest in a series of actions against the Ivy League institution, including efforts to end its right to import foreign students, emphasizing the Trump administration’s stance on compliance with federal civil rights laws in academia.

UK Anti-Grooming Gangs Activist Tommy Robinson Gets Early Prison Release.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Anti-grooming gangs activist Tommy Robinson has been released from prison after his sentence for contempt of court was reduced by England’s High Court.

👥 Who’s Involved: Robinson, High Court judges, British police and prosecutors.

📍 Where & When: Released from HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes; sentence reduced last week.

💬 Key Quote: “Unfortunately, in a country that doesn’t believe in free speech, being a citizen journalist, [prison] is an occupational hazard,” Robinson said outside His Majesty’s Prison (HMP) Woodhill.

⚠️ Impact: Robinson plans to organise a free speech event in London. He faces at least two future trials, one resulting from charges filed against him a day after his release was announced.

IN FULL:

Anti-grooming gangs activist and independent journalist Tommy Robinson has been released from prison following a High Court decision to reduce his draconian 18-month sentence for contempt of court. The 42-year-old left His Majesty’s Prison (HMP) Woodhill in Milton Keynes, England, on Tuesday morning. His imprisonment followed his release of a film defending allegations he made against a Syrian migrant, ruled defamatory in a civil case, with the Attorney General’s Office going out of its way to prosecute him for contempt. 

Notably, criminals convicted of far more serious crimes, including molesting children, often receive no prison time at all, prompting widespread accusations that Robinson was singled out because of his political views.

A video posted to Robinson’s social media account on X showed him addressing his supporters for approximately 20 minutes. Sporting longer hair, a beard, and a Catholic rosary, he announced plans to host a free speech festival in London later this year.

Robinson said he knew he would likely end up in prison for his film, saying he has been targeted ever since he began pointing out that grooming gangs raping and pimping white working-class girls across England are comprised largely of Muslim, Pakistani-heritage men. “Unfortunately, in a country that doesn’t believe in free speech, being a citizen journalist, [prison] is an occupational hazard,” he said.

Despite his release, Robinson is set to face further trials. He is due at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on June 5, charged with two counts of harassment related to alleged incidents involving two journalists in August 2024. These charges were filed just one day after a judge authorized his early release, prompting accusations of malicious prosecution. 

Separately, he faces an October 2026 trial under anti-terrorism legislation, over an accusation that he failed to provide the PIN for his mobile phone when approached by Kent Police in Folkestone in July 2024.

Trump Postpones 50% EU Tariff to July.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: President Donald J. Trump announced a delay in implementing a 50 percent tariff on European Union (EU) goods from June 1 to July 9 to allow time for trade negotiations.

👥 Who’s Involved: President Trump, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and market analysts.

📍 Where & When: The announcement followed a Sunday phone call between Trump and von der Leyen, with Trump speaking to reporters in Morristown, New Jersey.

💬 Key Quote: “I agreed to the extension—July 9, 2025—It was my privilege to do so,” President Trump stated on Truth Social.

⚠️ Impact: The tariff threats caused market instability, with analysts warning of potential harm to global economic growth and market confidence.

IN FULL:

President Donald J. Trump announced on Sunday that the United States will postpone imposing a 50 percent tariff on goods from the European Union (EU), originally set to take effect on June 1, until July 9. Trump told reporters in Morristown, New Jersey, that the decision was made after a phone call with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, during which she expressed a desire to engage in “serious negotiations. ”

“I told anybody that, they have to do that,” Trump said, referring to the need for negotiations. He added that von der Leyen committed to “rapidly get together and see if we can work something out.” The America First leader later took to Truth Social, stating, “I agreed to the extension—July 9, 2025—It was my privilege to do so.”

The delay follows a social media post by Trump on Friday in which he criticized the EU for being “very difficult to deal with” on trade and claimed negotiations were “going nowhere.” The announcement of the EU tariffs came alongside a potential 25 percent tariff on iPhones produced abroad.

Von der Leyen, for her part, emphasized the importance of the U.S.-EU trade relationship, calling it “the world’s most consequential and close.” She stated that Europe is “ready to advance talks swiftly and decisively” and highlighted the necessity of using the time until July 9 to reach a beneficial agreement.

Britain, which unlike EU member states manages its own trade policy, thanks to Brexit, has already secured a trade deal with the U.S.

Memorial Day Weekend Sees Lowest Gas Prices in Recent Memory.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Gas prices this Memorial Day weekend are set to be the lowest since 2021, with inflation-adjusted costs hitting their lowest since 2003 (excluding COVID years), according to GasBuddy.

👥 Who’s Involved: President Donald J. Trump’s administration, GasBuddy, and millions of American travelers.

📍 Where & When: Nationwide, Memorial Day weekend 2024.

💬 Key Quote: “If you adjust for inflation and rising wages, Americans are actually going to spend the least amount filling up this Memorial Day since 2003, excluding COVID,” GasBuddy reports.

⚠️ Impact: Americans will save on fuel costs during one of the busiest travel weekends of the year, with lower gas prices celebrated across the country.

IN FULL:

Gas prices for Memorial Day weekend are set to hit their lowest levels since 2021, with inflation-adjusted costs marking the cheapest Memorial Day fill-ups since 2003, excluding the pandemic years, according to data from GasBuddy. Millions of Americans are expected to benefit from the reduced costs as they take to the roads for the holiday weekend.

The drop in fuel prices comes after President Donald J. Trump declared a National Energy Emergency on his first day in office, initiating measures to restore American energy independence and reverse the policies of the Biden government. Trump’s actions have been credited with revitalizing the nation’s energy sector and easing the burden on American consumers.

GasBuddy highlighted the significance of the price reductions, stating, “If you adjust for inflation and rising wages, Americans are actually going to spend the least amount filling up this Memorial Day since 2003, excluding COVID.”

The energy policy shift under the Trump administration has been credited with reversing what many saw as a restrictive approach to domestic energy production under the previous administration.

President Trump has already made several moves to lower energy prices and make America more energy independent. Since taking office in January, Trump has ended Biden-era anti-coal policies and scrapped other energy regulations, saving U.S. consumers upwards of $11 billion overall.

RFK Jr. Targets March Deadline.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Studies to determine the root causes of autism are underway, with completion expected by March, according to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

👥 Who’s Involved: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and 15 teams of scientists.

📍 Where & When: United States; initial findings expected by September, with further studies concluding in March.

💬 Key Quote: “We’re going to be definitive. And the more definitive you are, the more it drives public policy,” said Kennedy.

⚠️ Impact: Autism prevalence in the U.S. has risen to 1 in 31 children, sparking urgent calls for research into potential environmental contributors.

IN FULL:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced that critical studies aimed at uncovering the root causes of autism are on track for completion by March. Kennedy revealed during an interview on May 23 that some replication studies will be finalized by September, while new research initiatives involving 15 teams of scientists are set to begin soon.

“And those studies will mainly be replication studies of studies that have already been done. We’re also deploying new teams of scientists, 15 groups of scientists. We’re going to send those grants out to bid within three weeks,” Kennedy stated. He emphasized the importance of producing definitive findings that could shape public policy, adding, “We’re not going to stop the studies in September. We’re going to be definitive. And the more definitive you are, the more it drives public policy.”

Kennedy, who has made addressing the autism epidemic a priority under his Making America Healthy Again (MAHA) initiative, cited alarming data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). According to the CDC, 1 in 31 children in the United States are diagnosed with autism by the age of eight, a significant increase that Kennedy has described as an “epidemic.”

The recently released MAHA Commission Report highlights environmental exposures as potential contributors to the rise in autism cases. It references data from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) “America’s Children and the Environment” report, which has tracked childhood health trends since 2000. While significant reductions have been achieved in certain pollutants, the overall health of children has reportedly worsened, raising concerns about the cumulative impact of modern environmental risks.

Kennedy criticized what he referred to as “epidemic denial,” urging Americans to examine the science behind the rising autism rates. “Instead of listening to this canard of epidemic denial, all you have to do is start reading a little science, because the answer is very clear, and this is catastrophic for our country,” he said.
