The state of California launched a publicly funded website Tuesday to promote the state's abortion services.

The state budgeted $200 million of taxpayer money to strengthen access to abortion in California, including $1 million to build a website promoting the state's abortion services.

That website went live Tuesday, following an announcement from Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.

"Abortion is legal, safe, and accessible here in California whether or not you live here, know that we have your back," Newsom said in a news release.

The website includes information on different types of abortion and how to get one. The site has sections devoted to people who live outside of California and immigrants who are living in the country without legal permission, saying federal policies keep immigration officials away from health care facilities.

It lists clinics, links to financial help for travel and lodging, and also lets teenagers in other states know they don't need their parent's permission to get an abortion in the state. There's also a map showing the location of 166 abortion clinics statewide, including Planned Parenthood offices.

The website is part of Newsom's earlier pledge to make California a national hub for women seeking abortions now that the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade the landmark 1973 decision that legalized abortion nationwide for nearly 50 years.

As a result of the high court's decision, state legislatures can decide whether to ban abortion or place restrictions on it.

Pro-life advocates and other critics have lamented the use of public funds to boost such services, arguing California has a myriad of other problems more deserving of public funding, including the state's electrical grid and the continuing threat of wildfires.

As CBN News reported last week, California issued an emergency warning as a recent heat wave threatens the Golden State's power grid. A brutal heat wave was smothering the state for weeks, pushing it to the brink of blackouts.

The heat has also been fueling deadly wildfires. Firefighters are making progress against the week-old Mosquito Fire located about 110 miles northeast of San Francisco.

The fire was 20% contained after destroying at least 70 homes and other buildings. The 100-square-mile (258-square-kilometer) blaze on Wednesday surpassed the size of the previous largest conflagration in 2022 - the McKinney Fire - although this season has seen a fraction of last year's wildfire activity so far.

WASHINGTON - Two of the nation's busiest cities are scrambling. New York and Washington, D.C. are seeing a steady stream of migrants arriving on buses.

It's a tactic coming from the governors of Texas and Arizona who say Democrats in these blue cities are ignoring the immigration crisis as migrants continue to breach the southern border by the thousands every month.

The mayors of D.C. and New York complain the busloads of some 8,000 migrants into their cities are straining resources.

One full bus after another is stopping and unloading its passengers at New York's Port Authority.

"We've opened 13 hotels to increase our capacity, and we're looking at every single option that we have," said Manuel Castro, commissioner of the New York Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs.

The school year is starting, so city officials are also integrating migrant children into the public school system.

Over the last few months, thousands of migrants have also been offered free rides from Texas to the nation's capital, courtesy of Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R).

"Before we began busing illegal immigrants, it was just Texas and Arizona that bore the brunt of all of the chaos and all the problems that come with it," Abbott said.

Migrants are overwhelming the nonprofits and charities in both states.

"Please stop and let all of us work together to figure out how we can best provide the assistance that these human beings need," said Jumanne Williams, a public advocate in New York City.

For the second time, the Biden administration has denied D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser's plea for help, saying it could not fulfill her request.

FIRST ON FOX: House Republicans on Tuesday are calling for the Biden administration to provide additional information on what they call an "extremely troubling" policy that allows illegal immigrants to board planes using civil arrest warrants and other related documents as ID.

Two dozen Republicans, led by Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., have written to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas seeking answers on the Transportation Security Administration policy, which allows illegal immigrants to use civil immigration arrest warrants and deportation orders that are not included on TSA's acceptable form of ID list.

"These documents are not secure documents and can easily be forged, copied, or otherwise manipulated," the letter, obtained by Fox News Digital, says. "Given the fact that American citizens are constantly being reminded that their IDs will soon need to be REAL ID compliant to board an airplane, it is extremely troubling that TSA is allowing illegal aliens to use nonsecure documents as IDs to board planes."

DHS has previously stated that it allows notices to appear, civil arrest warrants (which are immigration documents and separate from criminal arrest warrants), order of release on recognizances, orders of supervision and other documents as ID to board aircraft if migrants do not have other typically accepted ID.

TSA CHIEF SAYS UNDER 1,000 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO BOARD PLANES WITH WARRANTS AS ID

Last month, TSA Administrator David Pekoske was asked at a Senate hearing how many with arrest warrants or deportation notices have been allowed to travel this calendar year.

"Under 1,000 sir," Pekoske told Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo.

The House Republicans on Tuesday were skeptical of that number.

"This number seems extremely low given the fact that DHS has released nearly 500,000 illegal aliens into the United States so far this year," they wrote.

TSA has argued that the process involves additional vetting. Pekoske said at the Senate hearing that the presentation of a warrant marked the beginning of a further verification process.

"These individuals who have these arrest warrants, these arrest warrants were issued by Border Patrol or a customs officer, and they serve as a beginning of our identity verification process so you can't walk up to a checkpoint, wave that form and then go right through into screening," he said.

The agency has previously said that any such document will then be validated via an "alien identification number" that involves personally identifiable information being checked against a number of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) databases, including the CBP One mobile application and TSAs National Transportation Vetting Center (NTVC).

But that process has not assured Republicans, with the 24 House Republicans arguing that illegal immigrants should be being deported rather than being transported deeper into the U.S.

"The fact that U.S. taxpayer dollars are being used directly or indirectly to pay for illegal aliens to be transported throughout the country is a slap in the face to all law-abiding, tax-paying Americans, they write. "Instead of using taxpayer funds to transport illegal aliens, DHS should be using those funds to acquire additional detention space so that it may detain the illegal aliens as required by law."

Previously, Hawley had asked Pekoske why he would allow illegal immigrants on flights at all.

"We arent looking at whether a person is legal or illegal in the country," Pekoske said. "Our role is to make sure that people who may pose a risk to transportation that is significant enough to require enhanced screening or to not allow them to fly."

The letter requests that DHS provide answers on how many illegal immigrants it has allowed to board flights without acceptable forms of ID, including a breakdown on the IDs used.

It also seeks more information about additional screening and vetting measures that are used to verify identities, the number of migrants DHS has paid to transport via bus, plane or train across the country -- as well as the funding that has gone toward non-governmental organizations that assist migrants in traveling deeper into the U.S.

An Illegal Immigrant Tried To Kill His Ex While Out on Bail. This Soft-on-Crime Candidate Voted To Let It Happen Again.

In May 2019, an illegal immigrant in North Carolina tried to kill his ex-girlfriend just days after his release from prison. A month later, Democratic congressional hopeful Wiley Nickel opposed a bill that would have prevented the ordeal from happening again.

As a North Carolina state lawmaker, Nickel roughly three years agovoted againstHouse Bill 370, which required sheriffs in the state to comply with Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers issued against illegal immigrants. Those detainers help ICE take custody of illegal immigrants when theyre arrested on local charges and subsequently released on bail. Just one month before Nickels vote, a self-described progressive sheriffs refusal to honor an ICE detainer prompted a violent rampage.

On May 15, 2019, police arrested 37-year-old Honduran national Luis Analberto Pineda-Anchectawho was deported from the United States in 2006 but reentered the country illegallyafter heassaulted his ex-girlfriend.

One day later, ICE placed a detainer on him, which, if honored, would have kept the illegal immigrant criminal in custody. But progressive Mecklenburg County sheriff Garry McFadden ignored that detainer, and Pineda-Anchecta was free to roam the streets following his release on bond on May 17, 2019. Four days later, Pineda-Anchecta kidnapped his ex-girlfriend, tied a rope around her head to keep her quiet, told her he intended to kill her, and took her to a secluded, wooded area near a highway. The victim escaped, and Pineda-Anchecta was latersentenced to 20 years in prison.

Three years after the incident, Nickel is running to replace outgoing Republican congressman Ted Budd in North Carolinas 13th Congressional District. Nickelsayshes running in part to support law enforcement and make sure everyone feels welcome and safe in our communities. For the North Carolina Sheriffs Association, however, Nickels vote on House Bill 370 did just the oppositethe associationsupported the billwith high priority, arguing that it provided an appropriate and careful balance under the Constitution for the rights of the accused and for the public safety of our communities.

Nickel did not return a request for comment. His decision to vote against the sheriffs association-backed bill could become a flash point in his race against Republican Bo Hines, who hascalledto enforce our laws, deport all criminal aliens, and save Americans from dying.

Nickel first entered the political arena in 2006, when he ran for state Senate in his native California. Nickel lost to Republican incumbent Jeff Denham by approximately 20 points, despitefunnelingthousands of dollars of his own money into the race and running in a district that was carved out specifically to elect a Democrat. Nickels own family donated to Denhams campaign before Nickel entered the race.

Nickel went on to work for Barack Obamas 2008 presidential campaign before he launched another state Senate run in 2018, this time in North Carolina. He went on to serve two terms as a state legislator before announcing his 13th district congressional bid after Budd vacated his seat to run for U.S. Senate. North Carolinas redistricting process made the district considerably less red, prompting the Democratic Congressional Committee toadd Nickelto its competitive Red to Blue program.

Nickel will square off against Hines in November. Both candidates have raised roughly $1.7 million as of June 30.

(The Center Square) A majority of Arizonans support building a wall at the Mexican border in the state and say that the surge in illegal immigration constitutes an invasion, according to new polling.

Pollsters Scott Rasmussen andRMG Researchalso show that a large majority of Arizonans think that illegal immigration is bad for the U.S., but legal immigration is good.

The poll of likely voters in the Grand Canyon State asked: Do you favor or oppose building a wall on the border between Arizona and Mexico?

Forty-five percent of those surveyed said they strongly support building a wall, and an additional 17% said they somewhat support it, for a combined 62% support. Twenty-four percent said they strongly oppose building a wall, and an additional 9% said they somewhat oppose it, for a combined 33% opposition.

On the question, Do you consider the surge of illegal immigrants across the southern border to be an invasion of the United States?, 56% of those surveyed said yes, 38% said no, and 6% werent sure.

Fifty-six percent also said Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey should declare an invasion at the southern border, giving him more authority to detain and deport illegal immigrants, while 35% said he should not and 9% werent sure.

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovichs office has said that the surge in illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border since President Joe Biden took office constitutes an invasion, as The Center Square previouslyreported. In Texas, 11 counties havedeclaredan invasion. More are expected to do so.

The pollsters contacted 750 likely Arizona voters between Aug. 16 and Aug. 22 and weighted results to match the states population of likely voters. The polls margin of error is 3.6%.

When asked to describe their views on immigration overall, a large majority of those surveyed in the Rasmussen poll said they support legal immigration but oppose illegal immigration.

Seventeen percent of Arizona voters believe all immigration legal and illegal is bad for America. The same number 17% believe both legal and illegal immigration is good, while 61% think illegal immigration is bad for America but legal immigration is good.

Voters make an important distinction between legal and illegal immigration, Rasmussen said. In Arizona, 78% say that illegal immigration is bad for America, and 78% say that legal immigration is good for America. These numbers are very similar to those we see in nationwide polls.
