The University of California San Francisco scrubbed its website of details on its provision of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgical removals of healthy breasts and genitals for minors, following a query from then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson's show, according to a massive production to Judicial Watch in a California Public Records Act lawsuit. The UC system's designated campus for health sciences and University of Southern California-affiliated Children's Health Los Angeles also hid the fact that a 9-year-old was part of their blocker study through the National Institutes of Health, when they corrected New York Times reporters who asked about...

The school district superintendent arrested by ICE this week lied about attending MIT and was the subject of two sex discrimination lawsuits, The Post has learned. Snappy-dresser Ian Andre Roberts, 51, was fired by Des Moines Public Schools after it emerged he was working illegally and had been avoiding a deportation order. Roberts spent over twenty years bouncing around the nation’s education system, holding top posts from coast-to-coast, but also proved controversial. “He ruined our district for three years,” a former colleague in the state told The Post. “He was very smooth, affable, but the overarching feeling you got from...

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic front-runner for mayor of New York City, plans to end the gifted and talented program for kindergarten students at public schools if he is elected, calling for a major overhaul of a program that has deeply divided parents. Mr. Mamdani’s campaign said in a statement that he would embrace former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s plan, announced in 2021, to phase out the gifted program for elementary schools, which has been widely criticized for exacerbating segregation.

Three years ago, RealClearInvestigations reported that the FBI was undercounting the number of armed civilians who had thwarted active shooters by a factor of three. Even though the FBI acknowledged the issue at the time, it never corrected the error involving the politically fraught issue. In the years since, the problem has only gotten worse. Since RCI’s 2022 article, the FBI has acknowledged just three additional incidents of armed good Samaritans stopping active shooters from 2022 to 2024, and none in the last two years. In contrast, the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), which I head, has documented 78 such...

President Donald Trump has labeled drug cartels operating in the Caribbean as “unlawful combatants” and said the U.S. is engaged in an “armed conflict,” multiple outlets reported Thursday, following recent strikes targeting alleged drug smuggling boats in the region. The Trump administration said in a confidential notice the U.S. was engaged in an “non-international armed conflict” against the drug cartels, the Associated Press and New York Times reported, citing a person familiar with the matter and a copy of the notice, respectively.

WASHINGTON — The final order of removal against illegal immigrant and accused MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia will stand after an immigration judge rejected a motion from his attorneys to reopen the case Wednesday. DHS cheered the decision. “With today’s ruling, Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s final order of removal stands. This MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, domestic abuser, and child predator will never be loose on American streets,” DHS wrote. “His lawyers tried to fight his removal from the U.S. but one thing is certain, this Salvadoran man is not going to be able to remain in our country. He...

TRUMANN, Ark. (KAIT) - Police arrested a woman after they say she tried to lure two children to the home of a registered sex offender. According to a community safety alert, Trumann police received a complaint from a resident about a suspicious incident involving her children on Sept. 30. The complainant told police that her two children were playing outside when a woman came up to them. “The female reportedly attempted to lure the children to a residence a few houses away that is occupied by a registered sex offender,” the release said. Police say the interaction was recorded by...

An alleged Sinaloa cartel leader admitted President Trump’s aggressive border policies have made the illegal work of the powerful Mexican drug gang more difficult in an interview with CNN. An anonymous member of El Chapo’s former gang explained that Trump’s immigration and drug policies have put a damper on their black-market tradecraft in a bizarre interview with the news station’s senior national correspondent, David Culver, in the back of an SUV. “From killing to coordinating smuggling operations, he says he’s done it all,” Culver said, referring to Trump. “Do you think what President Trump has been doing has been making...

An immigration judge on Wednesday denied a motion filed by Kilmar Abrego Garcia's attorneys to reopen his immigration case, according to a copy of the decision obtained by ABC News. In the emergency motion filed in August to reopen the case, attorneys for the wrongly deported Abrego Garcia argued that because he was deported to El Salvador and then brought back to the United States, he is now eligible to apply for asylum within one year of his last entry into the U.S. But in the order filed on Wednesday, Regional Deputy Chief Immigration Judge Philip Taylor said that Abrego...

The case has raised numerous questions about Roberts’ background. A NewsNation investigation found discrepancies in his birthdate across various records — athletic competition records list Dec. 18, 1973, while court documents and his 2017 marriage certificate show Dec. 18, 1970. Universities deny credentials listed on Ian Roberts’ official biography Roberts’ LinkedIn profile and official biography list degrees from multiple institutions, including Morgan State University. However, Morgan State said Roberts “did not receive any degree or certificate” from the institution. St. John’s University confirmed he received a master’s degree but not a doctorate. Roberts’ attorney said his client obtained a doctorate...

When federal agents led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raided a South Shore residential building early yesterday, it understandably raised eyebrows. So what was that all about? And why was that particular building targeted? On Tuesday night, Ald. Raymond Lopez (15th) claimed on Twitter that the Venezuela-based street gang Tren de Aragua was behind it. “TdA’s took over the building,” Lopez wrote, adding, “they will not be missed — except by @ChicagosMayor & the Leftinos!” In fact, CWBChicago has learned the building raided by the feds was the site of a murder where a migrant was shot dead while...

In 2021, Katharina Krüsselmann finished her PhD research on a possible link between legal firearms ownership and violent deaths in Europe. The news article was published by the University of Leiden in the Netherlands. From the article: Firearms are the most deadly weapons in common use. So you would expect that the more there are, the more murders are committed with them. But Katharina Krüsselmann did not find such a link when she compared studies on firearm use in Europe. She says this is in part because the murder rate is extremely low in many European countries, which makes small...

Saskatoon police say they have solved a mystery that goes back more than a century. The remains of an unknown female were discovered in a well shaft in Saskatoon's Sutherland neighbourhood in 2006. Now, almost 20 years later, she has been identified as Alice Spence (nee Burke), a woman of Irish ancestry who was about 35 years old at the time of her death. Investigators believe Alice, who lived in what was the town of Sutherland at the time, died of foul play sometime from 1916 to 1918. -snip The case sat for nearly 20 years without a lead until...

Mark Carney’s Liberal government appears to be employing Antifa extremists inside federal institutions — even within our national defence system. At Rebel News, we did what the Montreal police should have done. We launched a reward campaign to identify and track down the thug who thought he could get away with attacking Sean Feucht's Christian worship service with incendiary smoke bombs. Not only did we find him — but what we uncovered may expose one of the most alarming national security breaches in recent Canadian history. The alleged smoke bomber is Gabriel Lepage, an employee of the Longue-Pointe military base...

Democrats sure do revere criminals and illegals. Remember when, during January’s presidential address to the joint session of Congress, the Democrats refused to stand or applaud for the Laken Riley Act, passed in honor of the young girl murdered by an illegal migrant on the campus of the University of Georgia? They sat on their hands, as they did when the young cancer patient, DJ Daniel, was introduced. When the mothers of other victims of illegal rapists and murderers, Jocelyn Nungaray and Rachel Morin, for example, speak publicly, the Democrats cannot be bothered to comment. There are 13,000 illegal migrants...

A Washington, D.C., police sergeant is on administrative leave after authorities say he crashed a car into a federal vehicle during a traffic stop and was found with unregistered weapons. Police Sergeant Montez Clark, 27, and two others were arrested Monday night after Clark allegedly tried to flee from federal agents patrolling on behalf of President Donald Trump’s Make DC Safe and Beautiful Task Force, according to court records and a Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation. Clark faces ten charges of assault on a federal officer, fleeing from a law enforcement officer, leaving after...

A former FBI agent says a serial killer who doubled as an FBI informant for years manipulated agents into believing he was helping them, all the while preying on unsuspecting victims. Scott Kimball will likely spend the rest of his life in a federal prison in Colorado after he was sentenced to 70 years in 2009. He pleaded guilty to killing four people between 2003 and 2004, and his number of victims could be much higher, according to former FBI Special Agent Jonny Grusing. “He made a game out of tricking the FBI,” Grusing told Fox News Digital, adding that...
