The failed prosecution of an alleged Somali pirate — and the fact that that failure could leave him living freely, and permanently, inside U.S. borders — is highlighting anew the risks of trying terror suspects in American courts.

Sure enough, not all rapes or sexual assaults in Britain are linked to the invasion of illegals from cultures that are not assimilating, but the two phenomena sure are developing in parallel. BBC reported: “A rape offense is reported every hour in London, according to data obtained by the BBC. More than 8,800 rape incidents were reported to the Metropolitan Police in 2023 – an average of 24...
