Breitbart News was at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) when Robert Cekada was sworn in Monday, and he sat down with us afterward to talk about growing up hunting with his dad, owning numerous AR-15s, and valuing the importance of an armed citizenry. Cekada’s parents immigrated from Yugoslavia and his exposure to firearms came from his father, who would take him target shooting and, eventually, along on hunting trips in Upstate New York. The target shooting began in his youngest years when Cekada’s dad began taking him on hunts when he was 12 years of age.…

For over a year, Quero Navas’s 82-year-old mother Carmen Teresa Navas and his family declared through several methods — including social media — that they had no contact with their relative and had no information on his actual whereabouts. His family repeatedly accused the Venezuelan regime of…

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the San Ysidro Port of Entry recently found and seized more than 225 pounds of cocaine in a single smuggling event. The late-April seizure demonstrates the agency’s ability to focus on defeating cartel smuggling networks that continue to probe the heightened Trump border security posture for weaknesses. The cocaine smuggling venture was encountered at the San Ysidro Port of Entry when officers became suspicious of a 21-year-old male U.S. citizen driving a Ford F-250 pickup truck attempting to enter the country, according to information provided to Breitbart News by CBP officials.

The US president said the ceasefire would be in place for May 9-11, with the two sides swapping 1,000 POWs each during the period.“The Celebration in Russia is for Victory Day but, likewise, in Ukraine, because they were also a big part and factor of World War II,” Trump wrote,…
A respected human rights activist has spoken repeatedly against the US-Israeli aggression on Iran. She recognizes the illegality of the war and does not shy away from condemning it in clear terms. Yet, almost invariably, she feels compelled to qualify her position, reminding her audience that Iran has killed “tens of thousands of protesters” during recent anti-government demonstrations.

But the issue here is not…
