113 House Dems vote against GOP resolution to condemn Boulder attack on pro-Israel activists

More than 100 Democrats voted against a House GOP-led resolution to condemn the accused terror attack in Boulder, Colorado.

It passed 280-113, with 75 Democrats joining Republicans to vote for the bill. Six lawmakers, five Democrats and one Republican, voted “present.” 

The legislation was introduced by Rep. Gabe Evans, R-Colo., last week in response to the attack. But Democrat lawmakers made clear they were opposed to language in the resolution that they felt was politically charged.

In addition to condemning the attack, Evans’ resolution also appeared to rebuke blue-leaning sanctuary jurisdictions that were at odds with federal immigration authorities, and he condemned illegal immigrants who overstay their visas as well.

A second bill, led by Reps. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., and Joe Neguse, D-Colo., more broadly condemned the rise in antisemitic attacks in the U.S. That legislation netted much wider bipartisan support, passing 400-0, with just two lawmakers voting “present.”

HOUSE GOP TARGETS ANOTHER DEM OFFICIAL ACCUSED OF BLOCKING ICE AMID DELANEY HALL FALLOUT

But Evans’ resolution more specifically noted that the case of terror suspect Mohammed Sabry Soliman, who overstayed a tourist visa and a subsequent work authorization, “demonstrates the dangers of not removing from the country aliens who fail to comply with the terms of their visas.”

The Egyptian national is facing federal charges after allegedly attempting to set fire to peaceful demonstrators who were protesting Hamas’ continued possession of Israeli hostages in Gaza.

The Trump administration has vowed that he and his family will be deported from the U.S.

Evans’ resolution also “affirms that free and open communication between State and local law enforcement and their Federal counterparts remains the bedrock of public safety and is necessary in preventing terrorist attacks” and it “expresses gratitude to law enforcement officers, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, for protecting the homeland.”

It comes as Democrat-controlled cities like Los Angeles and Nashville, Tennessee, have seen their leaders criticize the Trump administration’s ICE crackdown.

The Trump administration’s handling of anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles has spurred an outpouring of scorn from Democrat officials, particularly the decision to send National Guard troops in to break up the demonstrations.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., criticized Evans’ resolution in comments to reporters on Monday.

“Who is this guy? He’s not seriously concerned with combating antisemitism in America. This is not a serious effort,” Jeffries said. “Antisemitism is a scourge on America. It shouldn’t be weaponized politically.”

Jeffries also called Evans “a joke.”

Evans responded on X, “I served our nation in uniform in the Middle East, as a cop in Colorado, & now as a Congressman. This wildly offensive sentiment from Democrat’s Leader is why antisemitism persists. The Left is unserious about finding real solutions.”

Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., who is Jewish, also criticized Evans’ resolution.

MEET THE TRUMP-PICKED LAWMAKERS GIVING SPEAKER JOHNSON A FULL HOUSE GOP CONFERENCE

“You weren’t here, Mr. Evans, last term, but there were about 10 antisemitism resolutions that effectively said the same thing solely to score political points. We Jews are sick and tired of being used as pawns,” Goldman said during debate on the bill.

But Van Drew, who is leading a bipartisan resolution that similarly condemns antisemitism but does not discuss immigration, defended Evans’ measure.

“Yes, it is different than mine. Mine focused purely on antisemitism here in the world. But he brings up a valid point not only for Jews, but for many innocent victims. Whether it was Laken Riley, whether it was the women that were raped, the women and men that were killed, those that were beaten, those that were hurt, who were in law enforcement. Illegal immigration is not a good thing,” Van Drew said.

The two lawmakers who voted “present” on Van Drew’s resolution were Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.

Greene wrote on X after the vote, “Antisemitic hate crimes are wrong, but so are all hate crimes. Yet Congress never votes on hate crimes committed against white people, Christians, men, the homeless, or countless others. Tonight, the House passed two more antisemitism-related resolutions, the 20th and 21st I’ve voted on since taking office. Meanwhile, Americans from every background are being murdered — even in the womb — and Congress stays silent.”

Radio host Charlamagne tha God said on Monday that he had not seen evidence that the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles were violent enough to call for bringing in the National Guard.

On Saturday, prior to President Donald Trump deploying the National Guard, tear gas was used near Home Depot in Paramount, California, where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers were allegedly conducting a raid. Following the raid, a violent protest broke out and several arrests were made for assault on a federal agent, according to U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael W. Banks. 

Rioters have also reportedly engaged in throwing large rocks at a motorcade, smashing windows of the Los Angeles Police Department’s (LAPD’s) headquarters on West 1st Street and setting several cars on fire.

CALIFORNIA REPUBLICANS SLAM NEWSOM, BASS FOR LETTING LA BURN WITH RIOTS AMID TRUMP IMMIGRATION BLITZ

Charlamagne, however, claimed to be unaware of such activity, arguing that Trump had fulfilled his “worst” expectations from his critics.

“Trump really wasted no time doing the worst of everything folks thought he would,” the radio host said. “Like, you can’t put the military on protesters. Did I miss something? Were they not being peaceful? Because I didn’t hear about any ruckus or violence until the National Guard showed up!”

DJ Envy, one of his co-hosts, replied, “I did see one video, I guess it was a protester throwing rocks or bricks at cars as I guess they were agents when they were driving by.”

“But did that call for the National Guard?” Charlamagne replied.

Co-host Morgyn Wood acknowledged that “it got very volatile over there,” but still referred to the riot as having been a peaceful protest.

“But to your point, I mean, but this isn’t the first time he’s done this. He did this, you know, back in 2020 following the death of George Floyd and the protest that happened here in Washington D.C., so he’s no stranger to calling his own military, his own – the National Guard, in for protesters, as you said, peaceful protesters at that,” she said.

“Call Her Daddy” podcast host Alex Cooper accused former Boston University soccer coach Nancy Feldman of sexual harassment in her forthcoming documentary set to appear on Hulu.

“Call Her Alex” goes through Cooper’s career as a high schooler to wildly successful podcast host and influencer. But she revealed in the film there was a dark side to her life growing up.

Cooper went to Boston University to play soccer for the Terriers from 2013-2015. She revealed in the documentary she left the team before her senior season. She appeared in 21 games for Boston University in her junior and sophomore seasons and played 19 in her freshman year.

As the film debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival on Sunday, Deadline reported that Cooper said she was sexually harassed by Feldman which led to her leaving the team.

Cooper said the alleged incidents started her sophomore year, claiming that Feldman started to focus more on her personal life than her sporting life. She said Feldman asked her questions about her sex life and would put her hand on her leg.

“I started to notice her really starting to fixate on me way more than any other teammate of mine,” she said in the documentary. “And it was confusing because the focus wasn’t like, ‘You’re doing so well, let’s get you on the field, you’re gonna be a starter.’ 

FAN DIES AFTER FALL DURING NATIONS LEAGUE FINAL BETWEEN SPAIN AND PORTUGAL

“It was all based on (Feldman) wanting to know who I was dating, her making comments about my body and her always wanting to be alone with me.”

Cooper said she would try to avoid Feldman, but the coach would retaliate by cutting her playing time.

She reportedly opened up more about the incident in a question-and-answer session following the documentary’s debut.

“And the minute I stepped back on the field, I felt so small,” she said, via Deadline. “I felt just like I was 18 years old again. And I was in a situation with someone in a position of power who abused their power. And I felt like I wasn’t the ‘Call Her Daddy’ girl. I wasn’t someone who had money and influence or whatever it be. I was just another woman who experienced harassment on a level that changed my life forever and took away the thing I loved the most.”

Fox News Digital reached out to Boston University and Feldman for comment.

Feldman retired from coaching in 2022. Cooper alleged that university officials dismissed her concerns and lawyers she spoke to warned that litigation could drag out for years.

For the first time since their on-field clash in 2020, former NFL receiver Golden Tate gave more insight into his public feud with current Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey. 

Tate made an appearance on the “Bussin’ with the Boys” podcast, where he told co-hosts Taylor Lewan and Will Compton, former NFL players themselves, about what led to him and Ramsey getting into an altercation on the field in 2020. 

Tate was playing for the New York Giants in what would be his final NFL season after 11 years, when they were slated to face Ramsey and the Los Angeles Rams.

For context, Ramsey had previously dated one of Tate’s twin sisters, and their relationship ended when she was pregnant with their second child. 

“Now things happened within that relationship where I don’t think my sister was done or treated the way she should have been treated,” Tate said on the podcast. “And when that happens, who you gotta come see? You gotta come see big bro.”

GIANTS’ OTA SESSION ENDS EARLY AFTER MULTIPLE FIGHTS ERUPT: ‘HEAT GOT TO US’

The feud began to heat up when Tate responded to a fan who tweeted at him in October 2019 after a picture of Ramsey and his new girlfriend went public. The fan wrote, “If I was @ShowtimeTate I would have words with this young fella,” in reference to Ramsey.

“He know he gonna have to see me,” Tate said. 

Well, that meeting was on an NFL field when the Giants traveled to Los Angeles to face the Rams. Tate said he and Ramsey began going back and forth almost immediately. 

“We get out there, and right away, first one, he’s overly jamming me, and I’m like, ‘OK, this is how we’re going to do,” Tate said. 

“… What I do, I cannot cost my team a penalty or cost myself any money, so that’s in my back pocket. I’m not going to do that because that’s selfish, but I’m in his face, I’m talking my mess, he talking his mess.”

It was a low-scoring game between the Giants and Rams, but the latter came away victorious, 17-9. However, the tension boiled over completely after the game when Tate approached Ramsey. 

Ramsey swung at Tate and a physical altercation ensued with both teams getting involved to break it up.

“The game ends. I run up there to expect it, what’s going to happen? And he come find me … I’m seeing where he at. I went right up to him with my helmet on, and he swings, but I knew he was going to swing, so I duck, and I went to dump him, and the next thing you know, they had everybody on us, so they separated us,” Tate recalled of the moment. 

Ramsey has talked about that fight in the past during his “The Pivot” podcast appearance in 2022.

“On sight, we knew what we was gonna do,” he said. “I mean that’s his sister, that’s what he supposed to do, too. But you mind your business, too. This is me, too, now.”

Five years later, Tate and Ramsey never reconciled, but they put their differences aside for the kids. 

“We haven’t talked, but I think we both kind of have agreed to not be knuckleheads for the betterment of his daughters and my nieces, and that’s kind of where we stand,” Tate said.

Riley Gaines suggested on Monday in a radio interview that she was stunned by the public’s response to Simone Biles’ personal attack against her.

The Olympic great launched into Gaines with a post responding to the former NCAA swimmer criticizing Minnesota softball officials for turning comments off of a post celebrating a high school’s state championship win with a transgender player on the team.

Biles called Gaines “truly sick” among other things. But the social media reaction didn’t appear to get behind the gold medalist.

“To acknowledge how the public has shifted to this, look at Simone Biles’ comments section, go on Instagram, go on Twitter, go on any article that’s being posted, go on TikTok and she is getting absolutely demolished to the point where I almost feel bad for her, like I really do,” Gaines said on “Clay & Buck.” 

“I have read these comments, I’m like, ‘oh my gosh.’ I was prepared when I got that notification on my phone for that onslaught of hatred to come towards me. I was like, ‘Oh gosh, she’s gonna send all of her little minion people who follow her over to my page.’ That is not at all what is happening. I haven’t heard a single negative comment about myself following this interaction.”

SIMONE BILES DOESN’T REALIZE WHAT SHE’S ADMITTING ABOUT TRANS WOMEN IN HER POSTS, RILEY GAINES SAYS

Gaines pointed out the recent spate of transgender athletes winning championships in girls’ sports across the country.

“Minnesota, California, Washington, Oregon and Maine, where boys stole state qualifying spots, state championships or podium spots from deserving, hard-working girls,” the OutKick contributor added. “So, the whole ‘it doesn’t really happen’ argument, it can’t stand at all when it continues to happen. 

“But that’s the classic progression. It never really happened — that was step one. Then it slowly shifts to, ‘OK, well, it is happening, but it’s not happening a lot, therefore we shouldn’t be concerned.’ Then it progresses to, ‘OK, well, it’s happening, and here’s why it’s a good thing.’ And then the final stage of it is, ‘it’s happening, it’s a good thing, and you’re going to accept it — or else.”

Gaines revealed the support her stance on transgender athletes in women’s and girls’ sports received in various comments’ sections during an episode of the “Gaines for Girls” podcast.

Biles has not reacted since her first post toward Gaines on Friday.

Former 12-time NCAA all-American swimmer Riley Gaines is speaking out about her ‘X’ feud with Olympic gymnast Simone Biles over transgender athletes competing in women’s sports

The social media argument began on Friday after Gaines called out a Minnesota high school, whose softball team won a state championship after playing with a transgender pitcher. Gaines, who noted that she was not surprised comments were turned off on the high school’s post, said, “to be expected when your star player is a boy.” 

Simone Biles rebuked Gaines, saying she was “truly sick” and a “sore loser” for her comment, suggesting she should be “uplifting” transgender athletes. Biles also said Gaines should “bully someone (her) own size, which would ironically be a male.”

SIMONE BILES DOESN’T REALIZE WHAT SHE’S ADMITTING ABOUT TRANS WOMEN IN HER POSTS, RILEY GAINES SAYS 

Friday afternoon, I get a notification on my phone,” Gaines told “The Will Cain Show” on Monday. “It says, ‘Simone Biles tagged you in something on X.’ I was overwhelmed with excitement. Like, this is someone I’ve looked up to. She’s a role model for me. [I] was so excited about this until I clicked on the notification and, of course, I had to read it like five times… make sure it wasn’t a fake profile. … It has been the talk of X, really all social platforms, TikTok, Instagram, every article that has been posted. … I believe she truthfully incinerated her legacy with just two tweets this past weekend.” 

The swimmer says that while Biles’ comments on her appearance did not hurt her feelings, she felt heartbroken thinking of young gymnasts, like her teen sister, who has looked up to the Olympic champion. 

“That’s the people who look up to Simone. That’s the platform that she’s built and curated and developed. Those people love her,” she said. “They admire her and suddenly, again, in one tweet, and I would imagine an aim to be virtuous and inclusive and kind and compassionate, she sold out people like my younger sister. That’s how I felt. That’s what made me feel heartbroken.” 

Several of Simone Biles’ teammates have reached out to Gaines amid the ‘X’ debate to share their personal support for the swimmer’s stance, she shared with Fox News. 

“They believe the intention behind this is that Simone has a new docu-series coming out on Netflix,” Gaines told Fox News. “They believe it’s an attempt to put her name, her profile, her face, her image back in the public sphere, but again, I think this ultimately backfired on her.” 

Ultimately, Gaines says standing up for women’s sports is not a divisive issue among everyday Americans. 

“This isn’t a polarizing issue if you can remove yourself from the opinions of the elite. The people who are on the private jets, if you remove yourself from the opinion of Hollywood or elected representation, this truthfully is not a polarizing, divisive issue. It’s a unifying issue.”

A national from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has been arrested after allegedly smuggling biological materials into the U.S. and making false statements to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers about the contents of her packages.

The Department of Justice said Chengxuan Han is charged with smuggling goods into the U.S. and making false statements.

According to the complaint, Han is a citizen of the PRC who is working on her Ph.D. at the College of Life Science and Technology in the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan.

Han allegedly sent four packages to the U.S. from the PRC in 2024 and 2025, containing concealed biological material. The packages were sent to individuals at a laboratory at the University of Michigan.

‘COMING FOR US’: EXPERT SOUNDS ALARM ON CCP’S MISSION TO ‘KILL AMERICANS’ AFTER FBI MAKES SHOCKING ARRESTS

Han arrived at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport on Sunday on a J1 visa, when CBP officers conducted an inspection.

During the inspection, Han allegedly made false statements about the packages and the materials she previously shipped to the U.S. CBP officers also discovered the content of Han’s electronic device had been deleted three days before she arrived in the U.S.

After the inspection, FBI agents and agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) interviewed Han. During the interview, Han allegedly admitted to sending the packages and revealed they contained material related to round worms. She also allegedly confessed to making false statements to CBP officers during the inspection.

“The alleged smuggling of biological materials by this alien from a science and technology university in Wuhan, China—to be used at a University of Michigan laboratory—is part of an alarming pattern that threatens our security,” U.S. Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon, Jr. said. “The American taxpayer should not be underwriting a PRC-based smuggling operation at one of our crucial public institutions.”

CHINESE OFFICIAL CLAIMS NO KNOWLEDGE OF FUNGUS SITUATION, SAYS CHINA REQUIRES CITIZENS ‘ABIDE BY LOCAL LAWS’

Han’s arrest comes on the same day another Chinese national, 42-year-old Shenghua Wen, pleaded guilty to federal crimes after he exported firearms, ammunition and other military items to North Korea, at the direction of North Korean government officials.

Wen, a citizen of the People’s Republic of China, came to the U.S. in 2012 on a student visa, where he remained illegally despite his visa expiring in December 2013.

Before coming to the U.S., the DOJ said, Wen met with North Korean government officials at a North Korean Embassy in China. At the meeting, the officials directed Wen to obtain goods on behalf of North Korea.

FOREIGN NATIONALS CHARGED AMID TRUMP VISA CRACKDOWN FOR SCHEME TO SMUGGLE US MILITARY EQUIPMENT INTO CHINA

Nearly 10 years later, North Korean government officials contacted Wen using an online messaging platform in 2022, instructing him to purchase and smuggle firearms, sensitive technology and ammunition, from the U.S. to North Korea via China.

The DOJ said the plea agreement shows Wen shipped at least three containers of firearms from Port of Long Beach in California to China, which then went to North Korea, in 2023.

He also took steps to hide that he was shipping firearms to North Korea illegally by falsifying information regarding the contents of the containers.

CHINESE NATIONAL SMUGGLED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO AMERICAN TERRITORY AS US SEES INFLUX FROM ADVERSARY

Many of the firearms Wen sent to North Korea were purchased in Texas. He then drove the firearms to California, where he arranged to have them shipped. According to the DOJ, Wen purchased a firearms business in Houston in May 2023 using money from one of his contacts in North Korea.

By December 2023, one of the shipments left Port of Long Beach and arrived in Hong Kong in January 2024. It was then transported from Hong Kong to Nampo, North Korea.

Wen intended to send another shipment to North Korea containing about 60,000 rounds of 9mm ammunition in September, as requested by North Korean officials, the DOJ said.

FORMER US ARMY INTELLIGENCE ANALYST SENTENCED FOR SELLING SENSITIVE DOCUMENTS TO CHINESE NATIONAL

He also obtained sensitive technology with the intention of sending it to North Korea. The technology, the DOJ said, included a chemical threat identification device and a handheld broadband receiver that detects known, unknown, illegal, disruptive or interfering transmissions.

The DOJ added that he also acquired or offered to acquire a civilian airplane engine and thermal imaging system that could be mounted on a drone or some other aircraft for reconnaissance and target identification.

North Korean officials wired Wen about $2 million during the operation, to be used for obtaining firearms and other goods.

Ultimately, he admitted during the plea agreement that he knew it was illegal to ship the items to North Korea, while also admitting to never having the necessary licenses to ship the ammunition, firearms and sensitive technology to North Korea.

Wen also confessed to working at the direction of North Korean officials and did not provide notification to the Attorney General of the U.S.

As part of the agreement, Wen faces a maximum prison sentence of 20 years for violating the IEEPA and 10 years for acting as an illegal agent of a foreign government. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 18.

Trump made the statement in a brief exchange with reporters after disembarking from Marine One outside the White House. Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked Trump whether he thought Border Czar Tom Homan should take up Newsom on his dare to come arrest him.

“He’s daring Tom Homan to come and arrest him. Should he do it?” Doocy asked…READ MORE

The Federal Bureau of Investigation said on Monday that it will look into any organized effort to create chaos in Los Angeles, as anti-ICE riots occurred over the weekend.

“We’re investigating anyone who crosses the line from first-amendment protected activity to violence and are prepared to prosecute anyone who assaults a federal officer or causes damage to government property,” Laura Eimiller, media coordinator for the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office, told Fox News Digital in an email.

“LAPD, as you know, is also making arrests for unlawful assembly.  Obviously, any evidence of a criminal conspiracy will be investigated,” she continued.

Dozens have been arrested in Los Angeles as cars have been burned and tensions between rioters and law enforcement tended to escalate later in the day over the weekend, and more unrest could occur on Monday night. 

President Donald Trump has sent in National Guard troops to reign in the riots, which the state of California is suing over, as Democratic leaders argue it’s only instigating.

Andy Ngo of The Post Millennial reported that Antifa and others are likely playing a role in the riots, as Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., said that she’ll be introducing legislation to “designate ANTIFA as a terrorist organization.”

“If you don’t follow the law, we will find you, and we will come for you, and we will hold you accountable,” Bonta said.

As for non-violent protests, many of the demonstrations stem from left-wing groups, including the Service Employees International Union, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, and the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

The SEIU has organized anti-ICE rallies across the country following the arrest of the union’s California president, David Huerta, as he is facing federal charges for allegedly getting in the way of an ICE crackdown. Huerta was released Monday from federal custody.

“ICE’s brutal, military-style tactics have no place in our communities. We demand safety. We demand respect. We demand David’s release,” SEIU posted to X on Monday.

The group had a public plan to pour $200 million to support candidates across the country in 2024, including Vice President Kamala Harris in her presidential bid.

CHRILA told the New York Post that they have “not participated, coordinated, or been part of the protests being registered in Los Angeles other than the press conference and rally.”

The Post reported that CHIRLA won $450,000 in grants from the Biden-era DHS, but $100,936 of “remaining, unobligated federal funding” for the award given to the group was scrapped by the Trump administration in March, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin posted to X on Sunday. 

The organization received millions in grants while President Joe Biden was in office, according to the outlet. The Post further reported that the PSL has ties to the Chinese Communist Party because of its backing from tech billionaire Neville Singham.

Fox News Digital has reached out to SEIU, the PSL, and CHIRLA for comment.

A Chicago suburb’s former Democratic “super mayor” is facing yet another legal hurdle after failing to produce public records from her time in office after being held in contempt of court earlier this month.  

In a hearing on Friday, Tiffany Henyard’s attorney Beau Bridley pleaded the Fifth on his client’s behalf after she was ordered to hand over public records from her time in office.

“The smear campaign against Tiffany Henyard, which began while she was in office, continues even now that she is out of office,” Bridley said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

SELF-PROCLAIMED DEMOCRATIC ‘SUPER MAYOR’ ORDERED TO COURT AS SCANDAL-PLAGUED TENURE UNRAVELS

Bridley conceded that the former mayor does not have the requested document, with an Illinois judge allowing Henyard’s legal team to submit an affidavit in its place. 

“The mayor has no document that the plaintiff seeks,” Bridley said. “This matter is going to be resolved with a simple affidavit. The whole hearing was much ado about nothing.”

The hearing stems from a lawsuit filed by the Edgar County Watchdogs Inc., after the organization sued Henyard and the Village of Dolton for failing to produce financial records after the documents were requested under the Freedom of Information Act. 

‘SUPER MAYOR’ TIFFANY HENYARD SKIPS DOLTON MEETINGS AS CONTROVERSIAL TENURE NEARS QUIET END

“We had little doubt Ms. Henyard would use losing the election as an excuse not to produce the documents,” Edward “Coach” Weinhaus, attorney for Edgar County Watchdogs, said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Invoking the Fifth Amendment for a criminal investigation was an added wrinkle. The Watchdogs will keep looking for the documents even if the voters might have inadvertently thrown out the documents with the mayor.”

The embattled former mayor was unseated after losing her re-election bid to Jason House, who was sworn in last month. Henyard was also defeated by Illinois state Sen. Napoleon Harris in her attempt to keep her seat as Thornton Township supervisor. 

Henyard was thrust into the national spotlight in April 2024 after officials at Dolton Village Hall were served subpoenas from the FBI following a corruption investigation, FOX 32 Chicago reported. Henyard, however, was not charged with a crime.

FEDS SUBPOENA DOLTON, ILLINOIS RECORDS TIED TO OUSTED ‘SUPER MAYOR’ TIFFANY HENYARD’S BOYFRIEND

In response to the FBI looking into Henyard’s administration, village trustees voted to hire former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot to investigate the former mayor’s spending. At the initial vote, supporters of Henyard clashed with her opponents as the meeting spiraled into a screaming match between groups. 

Lightfoot’s investigation reportedly revealed the village’s fund fell from its initial $5.6 million balance to a $3.6 million deficit, with the local government’s credit card bills accumulating a whopping $779,000 balance in 2023.

On the day Henyard lost the mayoral primary, the Village of Dolton was reportedly slapped with a federal subpoena as officials demanded records tied to a land development allegedly tied to Henyard’s boyfriend. 

Henyard is required to return for a hearing on June 11, with a judge set to decide if she is to remain in contempt of court while being fined $1,000 per day.
