The home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, was raided early Monday morning by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), a source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital. The raid stems from a criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman's immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father when she was a child. Two sources close to the investigation confirmed the details of the probe Thursday, after border czar Tom Homan said in mid-September that the progressive congresswoman was subject to an ongoing "criminal" investigation.

On Thursday afternoon, October 8, a guy named Oscar Belgal was shot by ICE agents in the very most northern neighborhood of Manhattan known as Marble Hill. Belgal suffered a non-life-threatening injury to his neck, and received treatment at the uptown campus of the New York Presbyterian Hospital. Here is a picture of Belgal from the New York Post: The shooting immediately set off a round of protests from local activists, calling for abolition of ICE as well as various other of the usual demands. Here (again from the New York Post) is a picture of demonstrators outside the hospital...

Jake Tapper might have thought he was going to put the DHS Secretary on the spot. Instead, Markwayne Mullin administered a master class to CNN's State of the Union host today. The topic was ICE's operation against Oscar Belgal, an illegal Dominican immigrant wanted on multiple charges. ICE agents accosted him in his car, and when he tried to flee, running into other cars, an agent fired and superficially wounded him. Belgal was taken into custody. Incredibly, Tapper began by defending Belgal's actions "Do you see how for anyone, a bunch of men not clearly identified as with the government,...

El-Sayed said on 'Meet the Press' that neither he nor any of his family members have ties to the Islamist group.. Abdul El-Sayed said on Meet the Press on Sunday that neither he nor any of his family members have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist group that spawned Hamas. But the far-left Senate candidate’s half-sister has suggested otherwise, boasting on social media that her family "has long been" Muslim Brotherhood and that some have been "jailed" over their membership in the group. Eman Abdelhadi, an assistant professor at the University of Chicago, wrote openly about her family’s ties...

That’s turned up the heat on Trump and the Republican Party to address surging prices ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections. The president’s approval ratings on the economy have hit a new low, according to an AP-NORC poll released last week, as the Iran war and his trade battles have increased U.S. prices for oil and other goods. A limited impact, at best Energy policy experts on Friday expressed doubts that a boost in diesel supply from Russia will have a significant impact on oil prices, whether in the U.S. or globally.

Daily Readings from the USCCBWhile still more people gathered in the crowd, Jesus said to them, “This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah. Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.” Luke 11:29–30Imagine a homily beginning with these words: “This generation is an evil generation…” Such a proclamation would surely draw attention and perhaps provoke outrage. Yet these are the very words our Lord spoke to a growing crowd. The “generation” Jesus condemned was...

“I’m bringing Columbus Day back from the ashes,” President Donald Trump declared on Truth Social back in April of 2025. “Christopher is going to make a major comeback,” Trump continued. “I am hereby reinstating Columbus Day under the same rules, dates, and locations, as it has had for all of the many decades before!”Columbus Day was established as a federal holiday in 1934, but in October 2021, then-President Joe Biden issued the first-ever presidential proclamation for Indigenous Peoples Day to exist alongside it. You may recall that failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris expressed her support for “efforts on the federal...

Don’t livestream jihadi-fascist Hasan. We shouldn't turn justfiable punishmebt into something like a spectacle. We are not Iran, Palestinian Gaza regime, ISIS or narco thugs. We stand for freedom, and human dignity—not the ideologies that crush them.

A social media trend in which non-Jewish users publicly declare themselves non-Jewish Zionists has spread rapidly across X, with a Jerusalem Post analysis identifying more than 600 matching posts from nearly 550 accounts over just over a week. The posts follow a recognizable formula: “I'm not Jewish. I'm [nationality, religion or identity]. And I am a Zionist.” The Jerusalem Post analyzed public X posts to identify where the trend began and who was amplifying it. The analysis uncovered 613 posts published between October 4 and October 11, with activity accelerating sharply on October 9. The dataset contained three matching posts...

Journalist Alex Newman is back from going undercover at the infamous annual “Burning Man” gathering in the Nevada desert from August 30 to September 7. You may think this is simply a gathering of rowdy hippies, but it is so much more and downright demonic. The people who attend are a who’s who of top global leaders in all categories, including the most important cutting-edge tech executives. Newman says, “It is definitely pagan worship. It is worse than anyone can imagine. There are literally naked people dancing around the fire. They get into orgies. There are kids watching some of...

“There’s nothing funny about a clown in the moonlight.” — Lon ChaneyEvery year the displays get more extravagant, as if they are tracking the national zeitgeist exactly, fright upon fright. You also have to wonder how much cash money is going into these displays of morbid anxiety, in many cases a hefty percentage of the annual household income plus who-knows how many hours of labor. . . to put out the message “Be scared, be very scared.”Halloween traditionally brings a dissolution of the boundary between the real world and whatever you suppose lies beyond it: the abode of dead souls,...

Russia's rapid escalation has thrown into doubt the European Union's multiple support programmes for Ukraine. Diplomats concede it is only a matter of time before leaders address the contentious matter. The European Union is rapidly coming to terms with the limitations of its multibillion-euro support for Ukraine, as Russia's all-out escalation wrecks the country's finances, depletes its air defences and deepens its reliance on cash-strapped donors. "This war will last longer than we thought," a European diplomat said, speaking on condition of anonymity. "There's a realisation that needs will continue to present themselves, but it's not yet clear how this...

Idaho voters will be able to cast a vote for one of six guns on Election Day, and the votes will serve an “advisory” role to guide the legislature in choosing the official gun of Idaho. Idaho News 6 reported: The six options include Western-style weapons that gained fame during pioneer days, such as the 1873 Single Action Army Revolver Colt .45, the Winchester Model 1894 (.30-30), and the Winchester Model 1873, known as the “Gun That Won the West.” The list also includes weapons with military heritage, like the M1 Garand and the Colt Model 1911 .45. The sixth...

Europe paid around €7.88 billion for liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Russia’s Arctic energy project in the first nine months of 2026, a record 12.18 million tonnes reaching European ports between January and September this year. This comes at a time when Europe's gas storage levels are at a record low, and the bloc faces a brutal energy crisis. European LNG imports from the Russian Yamal project rose 9.5% year-on-year between January and September, with EU ports receiving 85% of Yamal’s recorded deliveries. France received nearly three-quarters of September’s EU deliveries, with the Dunkirk and Montoir ports receiving 571.716 million...
