The Trump administration has resumed deportation flights carrying returning Venezuelan illegal immigrants back to their country of origin. Venezuela consented to the resumption of deportation flights over the weekend, according to the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs.
“Today, deportation flights of Venezuelan illegal aliens to their homeland resumed via Honduras. These individuals had no legal basis to remain in the United States,” the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday. “We expect to see a consistent flow of deportation flights to Venezuela going forward. Thank you to Honduran President [Xiomara] Castro and her government for partnering to combat illegal immigration.”
At least one flight operated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carrying Venezuelan nationals who illegally immigrated to the U.S. landed at Soto Cano Air Base in Honduras on Sunday. The U.S. has previously used this location as a transfer point for deportees. Simultaneously, a flight from the Venezuelan national airline, Conviasa, was also expected at Soto Cano. This suggested a coordinated transfer effort between the two countries.
Honduras’s Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Enrique Reina, confirmed on social media that Honduras is cooperating with both the U.S. and Venezuela in this effort. He stated that 199 Venezuelan nationals were transferred from a U.S.-flagged aircraft to a Venezuelan one at the base. Meanwhile, the President of Venezuela’s National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, also publicly confirmed the agreement with the U.S. government to resume the repatriation process.

A local Wisconsin Supreme Court election has garnered national attention—as the result will determine the political balance of the court and could affect Democrats’ hopes of retaking the House in 2026.
The details: On April 1, Wisconsin residents will head to the polls to choose the balance of the state Supreme Court, which is currently divided between three conservatives and three liberals.
The choices are:
Conservative: Brad Schimel, the former Wisconsin Attorney General
Liberal: Susan Crawford, a former prosecutor and current Circuit Court judge
Why it matters: Two words: congressional redistricting. In 2022, the liberal court approved Democrat governor Tony Ever’s new congressional map, which redrew congressional districts in a way that helped Democrats win an extra House seat in 2024. If liberals retain control of the court, it’s possible Democrats flip more seats in 2026.
If conservatives control the court, it will likely throw out the 2022 map and endorse one drawn by the Wisconsin legislature—which is controlled by Republicans. This could lead to Republican wins in 2026.
The money: The race has shattered spending records, with contributions exceeding $76 million. Both sides have big backing:
Elon Musk: His PACs have invested over $12 million to support Schimel and offered $100 to voters who sign a petition against “activist judges.”
George Soros: The far-left Democrat donor has given $1 million to back Susan Crawford.
Illinois Gov.JB Pritzker: The wealthy Democrat governor donated at least $500,000 to Crawford.
Reid Hoffman: The LinkedIn founder donated at least $250,000 to Crawford.
…Musk amplified claims that the three Democrats above donated millions more than these figures, but I have not been able to verify those numbers.
Zoom out: Trump won Wisconsin in 2024 by an extremely slim <1% margin.
The last word goes to NFL legend Brett Favre, who recorded an ad for Schimel, telling voters:
“This is as important as the November election. And that was for the soul of America. This is for the soul of Wisconsin.” Your vote for Brad Schimel will keep Wisconsin and America winning.”
Wisconsin, please make plans to vote on April 1. The fate of your state—and country—depends on it.

Mia Love, a former Republican congresswoman representing Utah’s 4th district, died Sunday at 49 after battling brain cancer for several years. Her family announced her passing through her X account, stating she died peacefully at home, surrounded by family members.
The announcement expressed gratitude for Love’s influence, noting the celebration of her life and the memories she left behind. The family promised to provide details on funeral services and a public celebration soon. Love’s last communication on social media, posted 12 hours before her passing, thanked her family, especially her father and husband, Jason. She emphasized the importance of character and leadership for future generations.
Love’s political career included serving as mayor of Saratoga Springs from 2010 to 2014, followed by a term in the U.S. Congress from 2015 through 2019. During her political career, she lost her congressional seat to Democrat Ben McAdams. Despite expressing opposition to Donald Trump during his first term, she supported his agenda 96 percent of the time.
Following her death, social media was flooded with tributes. Utah Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson described Love as a fearless leader and history-maker, stating that Utah and the nation are better for her contributions. Vance Patrick from the Oakland County Republican Party in Michigan also acknowledged her as an inspirational leader and trailblazer.
Love leaves behind her husband and their three children.

The increasing power demands required for advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems and cryptocurrency could see United States-based data centers consume upwards of 12 percent of all total domestic electricity by 2028, according to a Department of Energy (DOE) report. This would be a significant increase from the estimated 4.4 percent of total electricity supply consumption attributed to data centers in 2023.
“The report finds that data centers consumed about 4.4% of total U.S. electricity in 2023 and are expected to consume approximately 6.7 to 12% of total U.S. electricity by 2028. The report indicates that total data center electricity usage climbed from 58 TWh in 2014 to 176 TWh in 2023 and estimates an increase between 325 to 580 TWh by 2028,” the DOE report states.
Notably, DOE officials say policies such as adding greater flexibility for data centers to engage in on-site power generation could ease increasing burdens on electrical grids. Additionally, President Donald J. Trump announced his administration is aiming to bring back online a number of coal-fired power plants—ostensibly to boost U.S. electricity capacity and counter China’s advantage from the use of coal-fired power.
Both artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies are power-intensive in technology industries, and companies in those sectors have pushed for greater electrical grid capacity and relief on power consumption costs. Some regions of the United States saw significant jumps in electricity prices under former President Joe Biden—especially industrial price rates. The National Pulse reported last year that Minnesota—under Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), the failed Democratic Party vice presidential candidate—has seen industrial electric rates soar—reaching 30 percent higher than the national average.

A group of Satanists plans to conduct a “black mass” at the Kansas State Capitol on March 28, despite efforts by Governor Laura Kelly and bipartisan lawmakers to prevent the event. The Satanic Grotto and its leader, Michael Stewart, said the event gained attention following allegations that he stole a consecrated host from a local Catholic church.
Governor Kelly issued an order on March 12 prohibiting The Satanic Grotto from accessing the State House. This move was supported by changes in building and grounds policies initiated by bipartisan legislators. Kelly stated that there are more respectful means to express dissent than offending religious symbols.
In certain Satanist practices, a “black mass” involves desecrating the consecrated Eucharist, deemed a distortion of the Catholic Mass. A lawsuit by Bishop Joseph Naumann accused Stewart of admitting to stealing the Eucharist on social media and sending threatening letters to lawmakers.
Stewart, while acknowledging rude correspondence, denied accusations of theft and threats. The lawsuit was dismissed after Stewart’s hearing, although he pledged to continue with the demonstration, anticipating a possible arrest.
Earlier this month, the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property (TFP), a national Catholic group, launched a petition to have the black mass banned from the capitol. The petition amassed tens of thousands of signatures.

An Islamist who attempted a bombing at a British hospital has been sentenced to a minimum of 37 years in prison. Mohammad Farooq, 29, was convicted after bringing an explosive device to St James’s Hospital in the city of Leeds, England, in January. The device, a pressure cooker bomb, contained double the explosives of those used in the Boston Marathon bombing of 2013.
Farooq’s plan was thwarted when he was dissuaded by patient Nathan Newby, whom he encountered at the hospital. Farooq initially aimed to attack an American military in North Yorkshire but was deterred by security measures. He then targeted St James’s Hospital, intending to detonate the bomb in a café during a shift change, and also attack people with knives and incite police to shoot him by brandishing an imitation firearm.
Prosecutors described Farooq as self-radicalized, seeking martyrdom. The court heard he wished to “kill as many nurses as possible.”
In handing down the life sentence, Judge Mrs. Cheema-Grubb commended Nathan Newby for his courage in “talking down” Farooq. She described Newby as an “extraordinary, ordinary man,” highlighting his intervention on January 20, 2023, as key in preventing a potential atrocity.
The sentencing took place at Sheffield Crown Court, where it was determined Farooq must serve at least 37 years before being eligible for release.

President Donald J. Trump is publicly dismissing a report from The New York Times suggesting that Elon Musk will be briefed at the Pentagon on Friday concerning U.S. military strategies in the event of a conflict with China. Trump labeled the report as “fake news” on his social media platform, Truth Social, asserting that such a briefing would not occur. He emphasized that China would not be a topic of discussion during Musk’s scheduled visit to the Pentagon.
“The Fake News is at it again, this time the Failing New York Times. They said, incorrectly, that Elon Musk is going to the Pentagon tomorrow to be briefed on any potential ‘war with China.’ How ridiculous?” Trump wrote late Thursday evening. “China will not even be mentioned or discussed. How disgraceful it is that the discredited media can make up such lies. Anyway, the story is completely untrue!!!”
PENTAGON: ‘FAKE NEWS.’
Meanwhile, Trump’s Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, also refuted the claims on social media, stating that Musk’s visit is intended for discussions on innovation and efficiency, not secret military strategies concerning China. “We look forward to welcoming [Elon Musk] to the Pentagon tomorrow,” Hegseth wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “But the fake news delivers again — this is NOT a meeting about ‘top secret China war plans.’ It’s an informal meeting about innovation, efficiencies & smarter production. Gonna be great!”
The controversy has sparked concern among some Democratic lawmakers about potential conflicts of interest due to Musk’s involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and his extensive governmentcontracts. Musk, who owns Tesla—which does business with China—and SpaceX, is leading efforts to streamline government functions under the Trump administration.
The White House previously classified Musk is a “special government employee” who acts solely as an unpaid advisor. They assured Musk that he would avoid involvement in matters where personal financial interests could conflict with his governmental role.

The chief of the U.S. Border Patrol has issued a stark warning to Mexican drug cartels, citing the increasing threat of drone warfare between rival criminal groups. Mike Banks, the Border Patrol chief, emphasized the agency’s preparedness in dealing with such violence.
“We have seen cartel-on-cartel violence that involves drones. We prepare and train to be ready to fight the enemy on any ground,” Banks said during a recent media appearance. “We’re impacting the cartels’ ability to make billions of dollars.”
Cartels have intensified their conflicts over control of trafficking routes and territory, heightening concerns about potential spillover violence into the United States. In response, President Donald J. Trump designated multiple Mexican and Central and South American cartels and gangs as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs).
The presence of drones at the border, such as a DJI Mavic 3 observed near Yuma, Arizona, highlights the sophisticated methods cartels use. Banks highlighted an increased risk of violence crossing the border, with multiple incidents and drone infiltrations noted. While agents are encountering only around 250 individuals daily—a figure significantly down under Trump from the thousands of daily encounters that occurred under former President Joe Biden—there remains a significant watchfulness for cartel operations.
Recent months have seen alarming cartel actions in the southern border region, including American fatalities from improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and shootouts with border agents. In one incident, suspected cartel members retreated to Fronton Island after engaging U.S. agents.
Some lawmakers want stronger measures against the cartels. Meanwhile, President Trump has hinted at potential military interventions in Mexico to dismantle drug operations.

President Donald J. Trump has issued a warning to individuals involved in attacks on Tesla, indicating they could face up to 20 years in prison if caught. The statement follows recent charges against suspects accused of violently targeting Tesla dealerships, vehicles, and charging stations across the United States. Trump emphasized the seriousness of the offenses in a social media post, stating that funders of such activities could also face similar penalties.
“I look forward to watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20 year jail sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla,” President Trump wrote Friday morning in a post on Truth Social. “Perhaps they could serve them in the prisons of El Salvador, which have become so recently famous for such lovely conditions!”
Meanwhile, in a separate post late Thursday, Trump stated: “People that get caught sabotaging Teslas will stand a very good chance of going to jail for up to twenty years, and that includes the funders. WE ARE LOOKING FOR YOU!!!”
‘DOMESTIC TERRORISM.’
Trump’s remarks were made after Attorney General Pam Bondi categorized the acts as “domestic terrorism.” Bondi has affirmed the commitment of the Department of Justice (DOJ) to pursue severe legal actions against those implicated. She revealed that several individuals have already been charged, with some facing mandatory minimum sentences of five years.
Additionally, Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Dan Bongino said the agency is actively investigating the incidents. He noted the agency’s focus on the Tesla-related attacks as part of efforts to ensure national security. The recent surge in these attacks has been reported in states including Oregon, Illinois, Nevada, Washington, and South Carolina.
The National Pulse previously reported that far-left hackers published the detailed information of every Tesla owner in the United States, including their home addresses, as part of a campaign to terrorize the company, its customers, and its owner, Elon Musk. The website hosting the information uses a Molotov cocktail image as a cursor.

President Donald J. Trump has extracted extraordinary guarantees from the multinational white-shoe law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison (Paul, Weiss) in exchange for retracting an executive order stripping the firm of their security clearance and government contracts. Paul Weiss had been a major behind-the-scenes player in the lawfare efforts against Trump over the last four years, along with representing several left-wing causes, including providing legal services for abortionists following the Dobbs v. Jackson ruling, which overturned Roe v. Wade.
Notably, Paul, Weiss has agreed to apologize for the actions of a former partner at the law firm, Mark F. Pomerantz, who instigated a Manhattan District Attorney investigation into Trump that resulted in DA Alvin Bragg’s so-called hush money prosecution. Additionally, the firm has agreed not to deny pro bono services based on the client’s political views and will provide the federal government the equivalent of $40 million in pro bono legal services supporting President Trump’s agenda over the next four years, among other concessions.
‘RESTORING OUR SYSTEM OF JUSTICE.’
“Paul, Weiss agrees that the bedrock principle of American Justice is that it must be fair and nonpartisan for all. Our Justice System is betrayed when it is misused to achieve political ends,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social late Thursday. “Lawyers and law firms play a vital role in ensuring that we live up to that standard as a Nation. Law firms should not favor any political party when it comes to choosing their clients. Firms also should not make decisions on whom to hire based on a person’s political affiliation. To do otherwise is to deny some Americans an equal opportunity for our services while favoring others.”
“Lawyers abandon the profession’s highest ideals when they engage in partisan decision-making, and betray the ethical obligation to represent those who are unpopular or disfavored in a particular environment,” he added.
In a statement announcing the concessions, the Trump White House said: “The President is agreeing to this action in light of a meeting with Paul, Weiss Chairman, Brad Karp, during which Mr. Karp acknowledged the wrongdoing of former Paul, Weiss partner, Mark Pomerantz, the grave dangers of Weaponization, and the vital need to restore our System of Justice.”
ANTI-TRUMP, PRO-CHINA.
The National Pulse has previously reported that former Obama government Attorney General Loretta Lynch—a member of the Paul, Weiss litigation department—drew Congressional scrutiny over her U.S. lobbying work for Chinese drone company DJI. The Department of Defense identifies DJI as a Chinese military tech producer.
Additionally, Roberta Kaplan—the attorney representing E. Jean Carroll—and U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan—who presided over Carroll’s defamation case against Trump—worked together at Paul, Weiss in the 1990s.
“We are gratified that the President has agreed to withdraw the Executive Order concerning Paul, Weiss. We look forward to an engaged and constructive relationship with the President and his Administration,” Paul, Weiss Chairman Brad Karp said in a statement praising President Trump’s decision to lift the executive order against the law firm.
