President Donald Trump signed a new executive order: “Protecting American Communities from Criminal Aliens.” He directed federal agencies to identify and take action against state and local jurisdictions that obstruct federal immigration enforcement.
In Alaska, the Anchorage School District has implemented policies that may come under federal review due to the new executive order.
The executive order directs the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security to publish a list of such “sanctuary” jurisdictions and to consider withholding federal funding from them.
The Trump Administration’s stance is that sanctuary policies, in which local governments limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities, pose a threat to national security and public safety. These jurisdictions may be violating federal laws, including those related to obstruction of justice and harboring unauthorized immigrants.
While Anchorage is not officially designated as a sanctuary city, it does have aspects of one, using different language adopted during the Ethan Berkowitz Administration, whereby “Welcoming” replaced “Sanctuary” to avoid the legal consequences during the first Trump Administration.
The Anchorage School District, however, has declared its schools as off-limits to federal immigration officers. Superintendent Jharrett Bryantt stated that the district requires immigration officials to present a judicially signed warrant before entering school property and that such warrants will be reviewed by the district’s legal counsel to ensure they meet legal standards. The superintendent did not specify how long such legal review would take. This would give him time to ensure that any illegal alien on school grounds has a chance to escape before authorities could enter a campus.
ASD’s policies rely on Bryantt’s unique interpretation the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which protects student privacy by prohibiting the sharing of student-specific information without parental consent, except in specific legal situations. The district has a varying interpretation of this act but it maintains that it is complying with all applicable laws.
The executive order is expected to face legal challenges, as have previous attempts by the Trump administration to withhold federal funding from sanctuary jurisdictions.
In 2018, the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that such actions exceeded presidential authority, emphasizing that only Congress has the power to control federal spending.
Update: Investigators say the accident was likely due to a dog on the runway, forcing the plane to abort the landing.
Alaska State Troopers are responding to a small plane crash near the south end of the Kenai Peninsula.
Two people perished and one is in critical condition. It appears from photos shared on social media that the plane, a small commercial commuter, crashed on the beach at about 2 pm.
The injured passenger has reportedly been medevaced to Anchorage.
On Tuesday morning, Gov. Mike Dunleavy released a statement that said the pilot, Dan Bunker, and passenger Jenny Miller were the two who died in the crash.
“The First Lady and I are heartbroken by the tragic plane crash near Nanwalek. We send our deepest condolences to the families of Daniel Bunker and Jenny Miller, and we’re praying for the recovery of the injured passenger,” he said.
Bunker is a well-known pilot and bear-viewing guide. A tribute to him can be seen here:
Miller was a young professional photographer originally from Nome and a shareholder in Bering Straits Native Corp.
The crash site is near the Nanwalek, which is a hamlet formerly known as English Bay where there is a short gravel air strip. It is south of Homer, southwest of Seldovia and near Port Graham.
The plane was a regularly scheduled flight from Smokey Bay Air, which is a commercial air charter service out of Homer. The tail number of the plane is N91025, and the same plane crashed in Nanwalek in 2016, and was brought back into service.

No sooner had the Senate passed House Bill 57, which suddenly added $184 million to school districts in Alaska, than the Senate asked the House to send the bill back. Someone spotted a provision in it, added by Sen. Rob Yundt of Wasilla, which was clearly unconstitutional.
Yundt had worked with Democrats Sen. Loki Tobin and Sen. Bill Wielechowski to pass an amendment that would provide some $23 million in reading grants. That amount used to be a rounding error in the state budget, but these days it’s a lot of money.
The way the amendment is worded makes the reading grants dependent upon passage of Senate Bill 113, by Sen. Wielechowski, which taxes businesses that are conducting internet sales in Alaska. Apparently, Yundt had made a deal with the Democrats to support that tax, and his amendment dedicated some of that expected revenue to the reading grants. That bill has passed the Senate but not yet passed the House.
That addition of dedicated funds made the bill unconstitutional.
During the “sausage-making” process that all bills and amendments go through, the constitutionality aspect was overlooked by the lawyers who work in Legislative Legal. Someone pointed it out to the Senate Majority after the vote had already been taken on Monday.
House Bill 57 has had a twisted life. It started out as a simple bill by Anchorage Democrat Rep. Zack Fields that would get school districts to ban the use of cell phones by students during school hours.
But then it became the mule for what is now about $200 million in more spending for education, and a hefty increase to the Base Student Allocation formula. Once the Senate got ahold of the bill, it became tarted up with all kinds of wants and desires, with no fiscal notes. Yundt fell into the trap and Democrats did him no favors.
During floor remarks on Monday, Sen. Yundt effusively praised the Democrats for helping him get his amendment passed. He noted that he is not an education expert, but more of someone who makes deals and looks for the “soft spots.”
“This is what teamwork looks like,” Yundt said, after thanking the Democrats for their cooperation.
The bill is now been bounced back to the Senate Rules Committee and will return to the floor on Wednesday for repair.
The fix may be that the word “shall” can be changed to “may,” in Yundt’s amendment, but if that happens it means there is no real funding source for the $23 million he wants, and that makes it unpalatable to many in a year where funds are scarce. The fiscal support for the amendment has all but collapsed.
Meanwhile, there’s another aspect to the bill that has constitutional questions and makes it vulnerable for a lawsuit on down the road.
HB 57 has a provision that mandates the Department of Labor and Workforce Development track Alaska high school graduates for 20 years to see what happens to them in their lives. There are no specific parameters to the tracking, which may involve their careers or may involve other things, such as personal data; it’s just a general tracking provision in law that keeps tabs on Alaskans until they turn 38 years old. Critics say this is a severe violation of the Alaska Constitution’s privacy provision.
Alaska Congressman Nick Begich knows all about ranked-choice voting. He’s been through the process twice — once in 2022 and again in 2024. He’s had to explain it countless times to thousands voters both in Alaska and Outside.
On Monday, Begich filed a bill to outlaw ranked-choice voting in federal elections. Cosponsoring the bill is Congressman Abraham Hamadeh of Arizona, a Republican.
The Preventing Ranked Choice Corruption Act is intended to protect the integrity of America’s elections by amending the Help America Vote Act, and reversing the growing voter confusion and disenfranchisement with emergent RCV systems, which vary from state to state and county to county where they are being used.
“The nation does not need more uncertainty and confusion injected into the federal election process,” said Congressman Begich. “One person, one vote’ is a proven, tried and true method that is easy to understand, easy to audit, and quick to report. Experiments with our national election systems risk disenfranchisement of voters and lead to outcomes that do not represent the true will of the American people.”
President Donald Trump has also expressed strong opposition to ranked-choice voting and has advocated for its ban. He called it a “fraudulent joke” and “one of the greatest threats to democracy” in posts on TruthSocial and during his Anchorage, Alaska rally in 2022 he criticized the complicated voting method that had just gone into effect.
So far, 14 states have banned ranked-choice voting statewide and another 11 are in the process of banning it.
Congressman Hamadeh emphasized the dangers Ranked Choice Voting poses to election integrity nationwide.
“The same Democrat pawns who support allowing non-citizen voting without voter ID and same-day voter registration also want to turn our Democracy into a rank choice voting scheme,” Hamadeh said. “Their motives are clear – they do not want to help Americans vote – they only want to help corrupt politicians win.”
Three states use RCV in statewide elections — Alaska, Hawaii, and Maine.
Alaska’s new Repeal Nowgroup is circulating a petition to repeal the ranked-choice voting used in Alaska.
“In Alaska, ranked-choice voting has led to a delay and lack of transparency,” said Bernadette Wilson, one of the sponsors of Repeal Now. “It’s added to voter confusion and disenfranchisement. This is why we are actively collecting a new round of signatures to repeal this convoluted system in November of 2026.”
Wilson added, “We know voters were deceived and we feel confident they will vote yes to repeal this time.”
The state legislature is considering House Bill 57, a bill that raises the Base Student Allocation, restricts cell phone usage in schools, and tracks student graduates for 20 years following graduation. Here is the bill section on tracking students:
“The Department of Labor & Workforce Development shall (8) gather data on the progress of each high school graduating class in a district by collecting career, postsecondary education, and residency data on each student in the graduating class; the department shall gather the data required under this paragraph HB57 every five years for 20 years after the high school graduation date of each high school graduating class; the department shall publish a biennial report on the data gathered under this paragraph;”
Supposedly, the intent of tracking students until they are 38 years old is to determine if our K-12 education system is successful late in life. Are they employed? Are they on welfare? Are they elected officials? Are they employed by the government or private sector? Are they incarcerated? Are they still in Alaska? Are they lobbyists? Are they nonprofit CEOs?
How will they track these graduates? Will they implant chips in the students? Will they require the student graduates to inform the State of Alaska whenever they change jobs or move to another state?
This legislation would appear to fly in the face of the Alaska Constitution’s Right to Privacy clause. Alaska Constitution, Article I, section 22 says:
§ 1.22 – Right of Privacy
“The right of the people to privacy is recognized and shall not be infringed.”
Apparently, the Senate believes that Alaska’s Right to Privacy does not apply to high school graduates.
Sen. Shelley Hughes (R-Palmer) offered an amendment to change the student graduate tracking from 20 years to the more recent 3 years. That amendment was defeated 14-6.
Those who voted to track students for 20 years: Senators, Stevens, Giessel, Bjorkman, Claman, Dunbar, Gray-Jackson, Hoffman, Kawasaki, Kiehl, Merrick, Olson, Stedman, Tobin, and Wielechowski.
Sen. Jesse Kiehl (D-Juneau) stated that three years alone would not give future legislators the needed information.
Sen. Robert Myers (R-North Pole) asked what do we do with the data we collect now. Do we do anything with the data we already have? He went on to say, “If a 38-year-old person is not doing well, I have to figure out if it’s actually the school that caused that”.
It’s a little late to determine a causal relationship after 38 years.
Sen. Matt Claman (D-Anchorage) tried to compare collecting 20 years of data of a high school graduate to 5 years of victimization data that is collected. He said that the collection of this student data would help show the legislature and K-12 system how well they are doing.
Sen. Mike Shower (R-Wasilla) supported the amendment and had serious concerns about protecting the collected data. He said there is no way we can protect the information we already have as has been shown by hacks to the state’s data. He said, “The more we get the more we cannot protect.” “The easiest way to protect it is to not collect it.”
There was really no mention of the Alaska Constitution Right to Privacy clause.
Maybe we should collect 20 years of data on legislators following their initial election. That way we may be able to determine the causal relationship of their votes.
Will we see high school graduates marching across the stage to get their diploma while being implanted with a chip?
David Boyle is an education writer for Must Read Alaska.
An Alaska House of Representatives bill that was originally about cell phone use in schools has passed the Senate after being decorated with numerous amendments having nothing to do with cell phones.
One of those amendments to House Bill 57 has the State of Alaska tracking Alaska high school graduates for 20 years — until they are 38 years old.
That amendment came from the Senate Finance Committee last week. For many Alaskans, it means the State of Alaska will be tracking them and collecting data on them for half of their natural lives.
Sen. Jesse Kiehl reassured the Senate that the information would be kept strictly confidential, a claim that was disputed by Sen. Mike Shower, who said data leaks happen all the time and with greater frequency; it wasn’t that long ago that election files were hacked and the state had to issue credit repair benefits to thousands of Alaskans.
Sen. Shelley Hughes, a Republican from the Mat-Su, tried to reduce that tracking of Alaskans to three years, out of concern for people’s privacy, but the Democrat-led majority voted her idea down.
Here’s how the vote went on Hughes’ amendment to reduce the amount of data-gathering that the state would conduct on its citizens:
Amendment No. 8 failed; it would have limited the data collection of Alaska high school graduates to three years.
Nearly all the amendments offered by Republicans on Monday to improve the bill were rejected.
In addition to monitoring Alaskans for 20 years after high school, the bill adds about $184 million in funding for schools, including an additional $700 per student to the Base Student Allocation.
The Base Student Allocation additional funding would become an ongoing expense into future years, locking legislatures into an automatic increase.
Senate Education Committee Chairwoman Loki Tobin said that it’s not the entire answer for the funding needs, and indicated that the Democrats will be back for more next year.
The bill also expands, ever so slightly, the ability of charter schools to get approved by local school boards.
The bill will now return to the House for concurrence.
In a new report released Monday, the White House accused the Biden Administration of overseeing what it described as a “grotesque social and scientific experiment” on America’s children.
According to the report, during President Biden’s first three years in office, more than 7,000 minors were administered puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, and over 4,000 underwent sex-trait modification surgeries, including mastectomies. That comes to over 3.5 sexual mutilation surgeries on children every day of the Biden Administration.
The White House characterized these interventions as ideologically driven and financially motivated, citing a lack of rigorous scientific foundation. This is a promise that President Trump made before he took office — to end the growing practice of child genital mutilation, also known as transgender surgery.
The report is the first formal update on the implementation of President Trump’s Executive Order 14187, titled “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,” signed on Jan. 28.
The order bars federal agencies from funding, facilitating, or assisting in medical interventions aimed at chemically or surgically altering the sex characteristics of minors.
The update on progress includes restoring scientific integrity. A major focus of the order is stopping the reliance on the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s (WPATH) “Standards of Care Version 8.” The White House report says these standards were shaped by political influence rather than empirical evidence, and that Admiral Rachel Levine, who was Biden’s Assistant Secretary for Health, pressured WPATH to lower age thresholds for surgical procedures on children.
Under President Trump’s directive, the Department of Health and Human Services has rescinded guidance documents endorsing so-called “gender-affirming care” and labeled them as “pseudo-scientific.” However, a court mandated temporary reinstatement of the documents, and HHS complied but issued an emphatic disavowal.
Additionally, a team of eight leading scholars is prepared to publish within 90 days an evidence-based review of best practices for addressing gender dysphoria in children.
The report reveals allegations of politically motivated suppression of research under the Biden Administration. One major federally funded study’s results, the report claims, were withheld from the public to avoid political backlash. HHS and the National Institutes of Health have pledged to enhance data transparency and enforce stricter standards for taxpayer-funded studies.
Federal agencies are also reviewing their data collection methodologies to ensure that records reflect biological reality and provide actionable medical information.
A major change has occurred in the taxpayer funding of child experimentation. HHS canceled 215 federal grants associated with promoting gender interventions for minors, saving taxpayers an estimated $477 million. Examples include a $1.3 million grant to adapt teen pregnancy prevention programs for transgender boys and a $6 million grant to Boston Children’s Hospital for gender-diverse health intervention.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued a special alert to healthcare providers emphasizing the dangers associated with puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for children, reaffirming the administration’s commitment to rigorous medical standards rooted in long-term evidence and ethical medical practice. Other health agencies have echoed similar warning.
CMS is also working to expand access to detransition care — medical and psychological support for individuals seeking to reverse prior gender-transition procedures.
At the Department of Defense, healthcare contractors have been ordered to halt coverage for gender-related interventions for minors, effective immediately.
The Office of Personnel Management will end insurance coverage for such procedures for children of federal employees beginning in 2026.
The Department of Justice has initiated investigations into entities accused of misleading the public about the risks of gender medical interventions and drafted legislation to empower affected families to pursue legal recourse. A new “Parental Rights Task Force” is being established to fight against state laws that undermine parental consent in decisions involving child medical transitions.
The administration pledged that these steps are just the beginning. “Our children deserve protection, truth, and care based on real science and the timeless principles of medicine — not ideology or profit motives,” the report concludes.

On April 22, 2025, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy and Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary announced their plan to phase out eight harmful petroleum-based synthetic dyes in foods. The dyes up for removal are found in foods such as Pop-Tarts, hot dog casings, Takis tortilla chips, and Mountain Dew soda.
To assist with this transition, the FDA will be authorizing four natural color alternatives and will accelerate the review of others.
One of those synthetic dyes is Red No. 3 which is already slated to be out of our food by 2027-2028. Bear in mind, this dye was removed from cosmetics because of its potential cancer risk nearly 35 years ago. Somehow, it was more important to protect our faces than it was to protect our children.
The FDA plans to pressure food companies to speed up that elimination process. The Red No. 3 dye is found in cakes, cupcakes, candy and frosting and “has been linked to cancer and behavioral issues,” according to the FDA.
Dr. Makary discussed studies such as one done by The Lancet that “raised concerns about the ‘correlation’ between petroleum-based synthetic dyes and ailments such as hyperactivity, obesity, diabetes, cancer, gastrointestinal problems, allergies and more.”
California, so often maligned for doing the wrong thing, is actually doing what’s right and leading the charge. Last year, California banned six dyes from use in public school lunches.
“Evidence shows that synthetic food dyes are associated with adverse neurobehavioral outcomes in some children,” said California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment DirectorDr. Lauren Zeise. “With increasing numbers of U.S. children diagnosed with behavioral disorders, this assessment can inform efforts to protect children from exposures that may exacerbate behavioral problems.”
Many of these dyes have already been banned in European countries. Why have the dyes not been banned in the US? What’s the difference between the two approaches?
The European Union and other countries follow what is called the “precautionary principle” meaning the manufacturer must prove the additive is safe prior to gaining approval.
In the US, the government uses the GRAS principle which is “generally recognized as safe.” This GRAS principle was written into the 1958 Amendment to the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act. We “assume an additive is safe unless there is solid proof it is not.”
Who determines if the additive is safe? There is a loophole in the law. The food companies can set up their own panels and self-certify without any independent review from the FDA. Many additives on today’s market were added to our food through this backdoor process.
This shows how food additives are banned in Europe but still widely used in the United States. The sad part is we may be eating unsafe and unhealthy food for decades before finding out they may cause cancer or other health problems.
A Forbes articleby Jesse Pines, who is an expert on healthcare innovation, givesthree good examples:
Red Dye No. 3: A vibrant synthetic dye used in gummies, candies and snack cakes; Red Dye No. 3 has been shown to cause thyroid tumors in lab rats. Although banned in European food and in US cosmetics, it’s still found in a variety of products on American grocery shelves. The FDA plans to phase it out by 2027, a timeline that may be accelerated given the recent announcement.
Potassium Bromate: This is a chemical that’s used to enhance dough elasticity in breads and buns. Yet, potassium bromate is also classified as a possible human carcinogen. It’s banned in the EU, UK, Canada and Japan but remains common in US baked goods and in major fast-food chains.
Titanium Dioxide: This a whitening agent found in products like ultra-processed baked products and cheese. Titanium dioxide is banned in Europe due to concerns about DNA damage. Yet it’s still legal in the US.
Meanwhile, approximately 99% of new chemicals added to the US food supply between 2000 and 2021 came through the GRAS process rather than through a thorough FDA review, according to Environmental Working Group. And the panels used to evaluate these new additives were funded by the same companies who wanted to add them to our food. Can you say, “conflict of interest”?
The European Union in 2010 began to systematically review all food chemicals allowed in Europe to decide if those additives were still safe.
We, on the other hand, are just allowing food companies to hire their own panels and tell us the food additives are safe.
I saw a television segment during which a previous FDA official was discussing what RFK Jr. is trying to do to make our food supply safer. He stated he thought we shouldn’t be banning additives until we can prove they harm us.
Maybe I am too pragmatic. If the European Union determined these additives were harmful to us and our children, why not just follow its lead? Especially since we are talking about behavioral problems in our children and potential for cancer for us all.
Oh wait! The food companies are big business, and they have funds to share with those in Congress whose support they need.
Is it more important to keep our food supply safe or bow to the demands of the food industry?
Is it more important to protect our children from colorful food dyes which may cause irreparable harm?
Always follow the money to find the truth.
