As chaos erupted among some protests against the multiple ICE raids in Los Angeles areas over the weekend, federal officers have begun enacting more extreme law enforcement strategies – including adding one demonstrator to the FBI’s Most Wanted list. The unidentified demonstrator was taking part in the protests that followed a raid in Paramount on Saturday morning, officials say. At around 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, according to the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office, the suspect threw rocks at law enforcement on Alondra Boulevard, “injuring a federal officer and damaging government vehicles.” The extent of the injuries and damage was not...

Donald Trump declared 'bring in the troops' and called for the arrest of anyone in face masks as violent clashes between federal law enforcement and protesters have rocked Los Angeles following a crackdown on illegal migrants across the US. Rioters have set fire to driverless cars, looted stores, driven motorcycles at lines of cops and created blockades to grind Downtown LA to a complete halt as chaos in the city stretches into its third day. In one vicious attack, officers were trapped under an overpass on the 101 Freeway as they were hammered with fiery missiles and rocks from above...

AUSTRALIAN Journalist Lauren Tomasi has been shot by a rubber bullet fired straight at her by an LAPD officer in Los Angeles. Demands are being made in Australia that Anthony Albanese call Donald Trump to protest. Should The Donald pick up the phone or have any such call redirected to Newsom?

I knew this was coming but it's not a post I wanted to make. My dad, Robert, has passed away. He was 87. He was a staunch conservative, and a very big fan and supporter of President Trump. He and President Trump shared a birthday, June 14th. He did serve in the Air National Guard as a clerk. He wasn't a person who got into the internet. He was one of those people that eschewed the ways of modern life. He knew about Free Republic because I told him about it. He did support what we do here.

Where is the National Guard? Anti-ICE rioters smashed windows of the LAPD headquarters..... .... Snip.... California Sheriff Luna said he is still going to wait before requesting help from the National Guard. Los Angeles is burning and illegals are looting businesses but they still haven’t call in reinforcements.

Sweden's Arkeologerna announced that archaeologists working in Viggbyholm, Täby, outside of Stockholm, unearthed a stunning 1,000-year-old Viking Age treasure trove. The site was inhabited from around a.d. 400 to 1050 and contains more than 20 houses and other buildings. Beneath the flooring of one structure, former occupants concealed an array of valuables they were never able to retrieve, for reasons that are still unknown. The collection includes eight silver neck torcs, two silver armbands, one ring, two pearls, and 12 coins that were turned into pendants. These had been carefully wrapped in a cloth purse and placed in a ceramic...

India has brought a record number of people out of poverty as per the World Bank, but the latter’s latest projection on Pakistan says nearly 45 per cent of its population lives in poverty, while 16.5 per cent lives in extreme poverty. This is after a World Bank revision of the threshold poverty line last week. In an assessment earlier this April, the World Bank had said 1.9 million additional people fell into poverty in 2024-25 in Pakistan. India has been making a case before the IMF and the World Bank that Pakistan has been misusing global aid for the...

SNIP In her speech, the Mexican president not only criticized the raids, but also argued that the United States owes its prosperity to the work of millions of Mexicans. "The United States is what it is also thanks to the work of Mexicans who live on the other side of the border," she said. She added that her government has already contacted the detainees and their families through Foreign Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente and the consulates. However, the president avoided mentioning the Mexican government's responsibility in regional migration control or bilateral cooperation on security and trade issues. Nor...

As police struggled with another day of unrest in downtown L.A., several Waymo autonomous taxis were set on fire, sending thick plumes of black smoke billowing high into the air. The dramatic images were captured during an afternoon of clashes between large groups who were protesting immigration raids by the Trump administration and L.A. police who were trying to maintain order. Protesters converged on the Civic Center area of downtown L.A. on Sunday morning, spilling onto the 101 Freeway around 3:30 p.m. The roadway was then closed to traffic for several hours as California Highway Patrol officers worked to push...

As the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out raids in Los Angeles, in which 35 Mexicans were reportedly detained, Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said that migrants "are not criminals". She defended the migrants living in America and said, "Mexicans living in the United States are good men and women, honest people who went to the United States to seek a better life for themselves and to support their families. They are not criminals! They are good men and women!" Sheinbaum said in a speech, a news agency AFP report cited. What happened in Los Angeles? Armed and masked...

THE OFFICE of KAMALA D. HARRIS Los Angeles is my home. And like so many Americans, I am appalled at what we are witnessing on the streets of our city. Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos. In addition to the recent ICE raids in Southern California and across our nation, it is part of the Trump Administration's cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division. This Administration's actions are not about public safety they're about stoking fear. Fear of a community demanding dignity and due process. Protest is a powerful tool essential in the...
