/3 According to the LOI, the Obama Foundation had kept presidential records—including classified records—at a private facility in Hoffman Estates, IL, but NARA would eventually move the records to NARA-controlled facilities, “that conform with the agency’s archival storage… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
/4 On February 15, 2019, NARA and the Obama Foundation entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) further detailing their roles and responsibilities to complete the Digitization Project.

The 2019 MOU confirmed that those records were in fact moved from the Obama… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

🚨MAJOR VICTORY FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY —

AFL has secured a SWEEPING settlement in its lawsuit on behalf of @azjustinheap.

The settlement restores Recorder Heap’s authority over key election functions and ends the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors’ unlawful interference. Image
This settlement follows the Arizona Supreme Court’s ruling, which reinstated a lower court’s orders granting the Recorder control over early voting and ordering the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to immediately return seized election systems and staff.
The settlement delivers EVEN MORE than what the Recorder and AFL had sought before suing the Board.

🚨NEW — AFL is demanding @CabCoSchools REPEAL its unlawful policy allowing biological males to use girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms.

Enough is enough. Image
Last week, AFL sent a letter on behalf of its clients to Cabarrus County Schools (CCS) in North Carolina, challenging its policy of allowing biological males to access female-designated restrooms, locker rooms, and changing areas.
AFL’s letter follows its earlier complaint with the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice, requesting a federal investigation into CCS for potential violations of Title IX.

On June 1, 2026, the ED announced that it had launched an investigation in response to AFL’s complaint.

🚨EXPOSED — New Biden-era DOJ records obtained by AFL reveal former Acting Associate AG Matthew Colangelo’s involvement in lawfare targeting President Trump before joining Alvin Bragg’s prosecution.

The records contradict claims by officials and the media that he was uninvolved. Image
Matthew Colangelo served as Acting Associate Attorney General and Principal Deputy Associate Attorney General — the third-highest ranking official at DOJ — from January 2021 through November 2022.
Colangelo then resigned to help Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg “jump-start” his investigation of President Trump.

Colangelo personally delivered the prosecution’s opening statement.

🚨EXPOSED — Illegal aliens have had free rein in Fairfax, Virginia.

AFL has uncovered documents showing that Fairfax has refused to honor HUNDREDS of ICE detainers on criminal illegal aliens over the past year and a half. Image
Releasing lawbreakers has consequences.

Below are some of the horrible crimes allegedly committed by illegal aliens in Fairfax who should have never been in the country — and who could have been deported if localities worked with ICE.

Abdul Jalloh:

➡️ From Sierra Leone
➡️ Entered the United States illegally in 2012 under Obama
➡️ Charged with stabbing 41-year-old Stephanie Minter to death on February 23, 2026, at a bus stop

🏛️VICTORY: This week, SCOTUS issued its landmark decision in Trump v. Slaughter:

Officials who exercise the President’s executive power must be removable by him at will.

Statutory restrictions on the President’s removal of such officers VIOLATE the separation of powers. Image
AFL, alongside co-counsel Mitchell Law PLLC, filed an amicus brief in Slaughter, urging the Court to restore constitutional order by overruling Humphrey’s Executor v. United States (Humphrey’s Executor).
By overruling Humphrey’s Executor, the Court:

➡️Reaffirms the separation of powers
➡️Ends Congress’s unconstitutional interference in executive functions
➡️Returns accountability to the American people

🚨MAJOR VICTORY🚨

AFL and @KenPaxtonTX just secured a federal court order PERMANENTLY ENDING an illegal Biden-era backdoor amnesty program that allowed immigration judges to indefinitely freeze removal proceedings against illegal aliens. Image
Today, AFL and @TXAG filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas challenging the Biden Department of Justice’s “Administrative Closure Rule,” which allowed immigration judges to indefinitely pause immigration court cases against illegal aliens.
@TXAG The same day the lawsuit was filed, the parties reached a settlement, and the court entered a final consent judgment vacating the rule and permanently enjoining its enforcement.

An illegal rule that allowed illegal aliens to remain in the United States indefinitely is now dead.
