  • Rhode Island lawmakers pass bill to ban sales of assault weapons

    06/21/2025 5:36:38 AM PDT · by Libloather · 48 replies
    Rhode Island’s Democratic-controlled state House on Friday approved legislation that would ban the sale and manufacturing of many semiautomatic rifles commonly referred to as assault weapons. The proposal now heads to the desk of Democratic Gov. Dan McKee, who said in a post on the social platform X on Friday evening that he plans to sign the bill into law. If that happens, Rhode Island will join 10 states that have some sort of prohibition on high-powered firearms that were once banned nationwide and are now largely the weapon of choice among those responsible for most of the country’s devastating...

    EXCLUSIVE: A Biden-era decision could potentially keep a convicted murderer from being deported from the United States, at least while a key legal battle plays out in court. Fox News rode along with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations in Los Angeles, the center of recent anti-ICE civil unrest, and the agency arrested Salvadoran national Alexander Alfredo Palacios Guevara, who not only has the murder conviction, but also two counts of attempted murder dating back to 1994, an HSI source said. The man told Fox News, "I have CAT, I have CAT," which turned out to be a...

    A senior Los Angeles official has revealed that his daughters were arrested during the ongoing riots in the city for allegedly assaulting a police officer with a deadly weapon. Rick Cole, the chief deputy controller of LA, told a rally that his 26-year-old twin daughters, Lucia Aguilar and Antonia, were taken into custody Sunday night, according to LA Mag. “I’ve just seen pictures of my two daughters on a curb in downtown Los Angeles in handcuffs.

    The Insurrectionists have a tendency to spit in the face of the National Guardsmen/women, and others. These Patriots are told to accept this, it’s just the way life runs. But not in the Trump Administration. IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT, and I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before. Such disrespect will not be tolerated!

    Black bloc Antifa militants and other far-left extremists surrounded an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Los Angeles on Friday night, where they proceeded to violently riot and clash with federal agents. ICE carried out operations targeting at least seven businesses in Los Angeles on Friday, resulting in at least 45 arrests. The locations included two Home Depot stores, a store in the fashion district and a doughnut shop, according to Angelica Salas, the executive director of the Coalition of Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), who held an afternoon press conference to denounce the actions. In what has become a...

    At Wednesday’s White House press briefing, Karoline Leavitt didn’t hold back. In a clear, methodical takedown, she laid out exactly who the deported suspected MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia is — and it’s everything the Democrats don’t want the public to know. Spoiler alert: This is no innocent victim of Trump’s deportation policy. “When Kilmar Abrego Garcia was originally arrested, he was wearing a sweatshirt with rolls of money covering the ears, mouth, and eyes of presidents on various currency denominations,” Leavitt said. “This is a known MS-13 gang symbol of ‘Hear no evil. Speak no evil. See no...

    SEATTLE — Some tense moments at the King County Jail Monday. This, as protesters arrested over the weekend appeared before a judge. Nearly two dozen people were arrested Saturday at Cal Anderson Park in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. That’s when a rally by a Christian pro-family group turned violent. Now Mayday USA is planning a rally of its own Tuesday, to call for Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell to resign. KIRO 7 has been pushing to get a response from the mayor. He finally responded late Monday. Just before 5 o’clock this afternoon, a spokesman for Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell released...

    A group of Christians are demanding an apology from Democratic Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell after he called their event — which far-left rioters had disrupted — an “extreme right-wing rally.” Evangelicals supporting Mayday USA plan to rally Tuesday outside Seattle’s City Hall following Mayor Bruce Harrell’s Saturday statement on that day’s altercation. Harrell called the group’s “Don’t Mess With Our Kids” event in Cal Anderson Park an “extreme right-wing rally,” and claimed in his statement that the event was held specifically to “provoke a reaction by promoting beliefs that are inherently opposed to our city’s values, in the heart of...

    A pastor is demanding an apology from Seattle Democrat Mayor Bruce Harrell after Harrell blamed a Christian rally for a LGTBQ+ counter-protest that turned violent.

Hundreds of Pro-LGBTQ+ counter-protesters crashed the rally and violence ensued. Twenty-three protesters were arrested, according to police. Several police officers were assaulted while trying to make arrests and control the chaos, and one officer was injured and taken...

    She is definitely not ready for her close-up. A stylish woman in heels and a leather jacket used scissors to stab an amateur photographer who accidently captured an image of her as he took photos in the West Village, cops said. The sunglasses and dress-wearing brunette flew into a Britney Spears-level paparazzi rage on Varick Street near West Houston Street around 4:20 p.m. May 5 as the 36-year-old victim was out shooting images for social media. First, she slugged him on his shoulder — before flashing a pair of scissors and stabbing him in the back, police said. The woman...

    Police are calling for an official investigation and charges against a city councilwoman for allegedly assaulting officers and inciting a violent mob trying to stop the arrest of an illegal alien criminal suspect in Worcester, Massachusetts. It is another in a slew of incidents where government officials have stepped in to try to block immigration enforcement as the Trump administration cracks down on aliens with criminal records in the U.S. A local police union argued over the weekend that Etel Haxhiaj, who represents Worcester’s District 5, helped incite the mob into assaulting ICE officers and cops during the Department of...
