    Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson says he's received no communication about the presence of U-S Border Patrol teams in the Chicago River downtown, but says it's part of a continued pattern by the White House. Border Patrol chief Michael Banks has shared the images on social media of a brace of Customs and Border Protection boats moving past the Trump International Hotel on the Chicago River. "Do not know what they're up to," Mayor Johnson told reporters after the Chicago City Council meeting wrapped up last night. "The federal government is not communicating with me or our police department -- and...

    More than 200 Border Patrol agents descended on a Chicago Home Depot parking lot early Thursday morning in a sweeping immigration enforcement action under President Trump’s Operation Midway Blitz.

The early morning sweep of the home improvement store parking lot was conducted like operations that have been underway in Los Angeles in recent months. The Border Patrol agents participating in the operation are volunteers from stations around the country. The agents are detailed for an undetermined amount of...

    Attorney General Pam Bondi fired another Department of Justice paralegal Friday — after the environmental division employee flipped off a National Guard member on her way to work.

In April, Denver police blocked federal agents, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), from accessing their Flock data due to concerns it...

    U.S. Border Patrol agents have uncovered and disabled a large-scale narcotics smuggling tunnel linking Tijuana to the San Diego area. The uncompleted tunnel extended more than 1,000 feet inside the U.S. and was highly sophisticated. In early April, Border Patrol agents assigned to the San Diego Sector Tunnel Team discovered the tunnel as it was actively under construction. The Tunnel Team made entry into the tunnel, which ran under a portion of the Otay Mesa Port of Entry. Based on preliminary indications, the tunnel had a projected exit point near or within a nearby commercial warehouse space.

    Does San Diego, California have a 'Hamas' problem? No, not the ignorant student protestors at universities being directed by Hamas's proxies. No, not the terrorists rolling into the area from Joe Biden's and Kamala Harris's open border. They may be seeing actual tunnels, dug by Hamas itself or its clients the Mexican cartels, coming in through Mexico. The U.S. Border Patrol has discovered more than 200 of them since 2003, according to the Department of Customs & Border Protection. The most recent one found, that there's any news on, at least, was a 2022 Tijuana-to-San Diego tunnel , complete with...

    Priscilla Villarreal, also known as "Lagordiloca," has sparked a debate about free speech and who, exactly, is a journalist.A journalist asked the police a few questions and was arrested by that same agency for publishing the answers. That this happened not in China or Russia but in the U.S. may raise some eyebrows. Yet that's the conduct a federal court greenlit last week when it ruled that law enforcement in Laredo, Texas, did not obviously violate the Constitution when officers allegedly misled a magistrate judge and arrested Priscilla Villarreal for doing basic reporting, adding another twist to a case that...
