Los Angeles was waking up on Monday to another day of high tensions with Donald Trump’s administration after a weekend of protests over immigration raids in the city, with the president controversially ordering in the national guard and the governor of California saying the state planned to sue in response. Federal agents the day before clashed with demonstrators in Los Angeles as police used teargas and “less-lethal munitions” to disperse crowds of people who were mostly peacefully protesting against immigration raids across the city and Trump’s deployment of the California national guard against the will of Governor Gavin Newsom and...

Feckless French authorities were seen standing by and doing nothing today as illegal migrants carried toddlers onto dangerously overloaded small boats ready to cross the Channel for Britain. In infuriating scenes the French police officers were seen with their hands on their hips and with their mobile phones out filming the moment the youngsters were crammed onto the deathtrap vessels. French authorities are failing to stop almost two-thirds of would-be Channel-crossing migrants, despite Britain paying our European neighbour almost £500,000 every day to do so. These astounding images were taken on the beaches of northern France this morning (Saturday May...

The nation of the Franks are well known today as the progenitors of modern France, as well as the barbarian nation that most readily and ardently embraced Catholicism. As Saint Avitus of Vienne shows in his letter to King Clovis upon the latter’s baptism in AD 496, the subject Christian Romans placed great hopes in the conversion of the Frankish king and his court, and the event was an occasion of great joy. This was particularly true given Clovis’s previous history as a ruthless conqueror who defeated and dissolved the last remnant of Western Roman power in Gaul, the so-called...

Inter-gang rivalries have led to an alarming rise in migrant violence, as GB News can exclusively reveal eight small boat migrants arrived in the UK with stab injuries in the past 12 months. The boiling tensions come as thousands of migrants converge on northern France ahead of an expected huge summer surge in small boat crossings. Just this week, one migrant was stabbed to death and two others seriously injured in separate incidents around Calais. One senior maritime security source told GB News the increase in violence was "extremely concerning". He added: "We're seeing gang rivalries, disputes between different factions,...

The events of the release of Hamas turn from time to time from humiliating to dangerous, Israel should prepare to threaten to blow up the deal if the phenomenon continues, or at the very least prepare intervention forces to protect the abductees if necessary. Yair Amar. 30.01.25. Screenshot from a video. Another wave of releasing hostages, another snarling and rioting crowd, more inflammatory billboards, more victory parades and humiliation marches for the abductees. Israeli defeatism endangers the lives of the abductees, and brings us closer to the event that will be remembered as the "lynching in Gaza"... One by one,...

Leticia Jimenez expects to graduate from Cal State San Bernardino this spring with a degree in business administration. She came to the country without authorization when she was 2 years old and grew up working the fields of the Coachella Valley with her parents when school was out. She would be excited about the new opportunities her degree might present, but instead feels anxious every time she leaves the house. “I make sure that I say a good ‘goodbye’ to my parents,” she said. “I go out with more fear— anything can happen.” Jimenez, 21, is like millions of undocumented...

Suffolk County taxpayers could be on the hook for $60 million in a migrant class-action lawsuit for holding on to illegal immigrants until the feds could show up and ship them out of the country, officials said Wednesday. A federal judge ruled that the sheriff’s office in the Long Island county acted on its own when it held undocumented immigrants for deportation proceedings — because New York State law doesn’t allow local cops to do so. Adding insult to injury, the judge says the feds won’t have to chip in to pay off the hefty ruling — even though they’re...

A group of 100 migrants was recently dropped into the cartel-infested resort town of Acapulco as Mexican authorities break up caravans trying to reach the US before President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. The Mexican government has started rounding up and transporting caravan migrants to Acapulco to try to thwart their plans to make it to the US border before Trump’s vowed immigration crackdown — and threatened 25% tariffs against Mexico if the border crisis doesn’t abate, according to The Associated Press. In recent years, the once-serene beaches of Acapulco, which had been popular with American tourists, have become choked with cartel...

"Americans shouldn't be forced to spend our tax dollars babysitting these invaders. They clearly haven't learned how to speak English and to not disrupt any classroom with their third world behavior. This future thug, along with his classmates, should be immediately deported." Lauren Witzke DE X (Short video)

Hamas has posted another video aiming to pressure Israel into softening its positions during negotiations for a ceasefire and a potential prisoner exchange that would return hostages in exchange for the release of prisoners. In the video, Hamas alleges that since October 7, 2023, 33 Israeli hostages have been killed in the Gaza Strip, with others injured. Hamas attributes full responsibility for these deaths to the Israeli government, including in the cases where Israel alleges that the hostages were killed in cold blood by Hamas. "Occupation prisoners were killed in Gaza due to the war criminal Netanyahu's lack of compromise...

The Vietnamese people smuggler emerged, briefly and hesitantly, from the shadows of a scraggly forest close to the northern French coastline. “Move away from the others. Come this way, fast,” he said, gesturing across a disused railway line to a member of our team, who had spent weeks posing undercover as a potential customer. Moments later, the smuggler - a tall figure with bright dyed blonde hair - turned away sharply, like a startled fox, and vanished down a narrow path into the woods. Earlier this year, Vietnam emerged - abruptly - as the biggest single source of new migrants...

Three migrants have died and dozens of others were rescued after a boat sank in the English Channel, the French coastguard said. A rescue operation was launched on Wednesday off the coast of Calais after a life jacket was spotted in the sea. Some 48 people were recovered in the search, and first aid was given to two unconscious people brought on board the Minck ship. They were later confirmed dead in Calais, the French maritime prefecture said.

'I love Kamala Harris,' a young Venezuelan man declared as he rested on the side of a highway in southern Mexico last week. His belongings were heaped at his feet. Hundreds of fellow migrants stretched out along the roadway in both directions. They're headed for the U.S. and nearly all of them have an opinion about who should be America's next president. 'Donald Trump, no,' the Venezuelan man said, shaking his head and dragging his thumb across his throat in a slicing motion. He is one of thousands of migrants – from all over the world – joining a new...

Climate change is exacerbating the risk of potentially dangerous mosquito-borne diseases in California — threatening to turn more of those annoying-but-harmless bites into severe illnesses, experts say. California already grapples with West Nile virus, a potentially deadly disease that was first detected in the state about two decades ago. But officials are now warning of a potential new foe: dengue, a viral infection that in the most serious cases can also lead to life-threatening complications. Until last year, all dengue cases reported in California were associated with people traveling to a country where the disease is common. But Los Angeles...
