    From Plato all the way to today, many scholars in the field have contemplated the existence of this highly technologically advanced ancient civilization and the reason for its downfall. If you start talking about the lost ancient city of Atlantis, most people will probably think you’re living in ‘la la’ land. Many people are unaware that this city has been studied seriously for hundreds of years. For example, we can see that it was a subject of significant importance for researchers at the Smithsonian Institution, as emphasized by their Annual Report of the Board of Regents of The Smithsonian Institution...

    A second deportation flight carrying 13 Venezuelan gang members wanted for a range of violent crimes departed El Paso, Texas, for Guantanamo Bay in Cuba Thursday. The flight roster includes a Tren de Aragua gang member who committed a homicide and another who admitted he is wanted in Venezuela for escaping from jail, aggravated robbery with a weapon and intent to commit homicide, according to a Homeland Security official. Other offenses the migrants are accused of include possession of dangerous drugs, robbery, assault, fraud and entering the US illegally, the official said. The flight comes 48 hours after the first...

    Around 300 US military personnel have arrived at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay (GITMO) in southeast Cuba to assist in the construction of makeshift shelters intended to house illegal immigrants deported from the United States. The troops will then provide security for the migrant shelters, the New York Times reported. This comes as part of the Trump administration's mass deportation operations, where the president ordered the military to prepare the island for at least 30,000 deportations. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said that the thousands of migrants would be housed separately from the military prisoners detained on the base. He also...

    U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused the governments of Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Cuba on Tuesday of being “enemies of humanity” and causing the migration crisis in the region. “These three regimes that exist in Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Cuba are enemies of humanity and have created a migration crisis. If it weren’t for these three regimes, there wouldn’t be a migration crisis in the hemisphere,” Rubio said at a press conference in Costa Rica. “They created it because they are countries where their systems don’t work,” declared the U.S. chief diplomat, son of Cuban immigrants, in Spanish. Cuban President Miguel...

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The first U.S. military flight to deport migrants from the United States to Guantanamo Bay has departed and is expected to land Tuesday evening, two U.S. officials said. It is the first step in an expected surge in the number of migrants sent to the Navy base in Cuba, which for decades was primarily used to detain foreigners associated with the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. President Donald Trump has eyed the facility as a holding center and said it has the capacity to hold as many as 30,000. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who was assigned to Guantanamo...

    The first planeloads of illegal immigrants detained in President Trump’s crackdown have departed for Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, where a small migrant detention center could be expanded to house tens of thousands. Two planes carrying migrants have departed this week, with one departing from Fort Bliss, Texas, with about a dozen people onboard, the Wall Street Journal reported. Guantanamo Bay has traditionally been used to house terrorists captured by the US, but has always had room — about 120 beds — to house migrants caught trying to sneak into the US through the Gulf of Mexico.

    We Cubans are fortunate that [Marco] Rubio has become America's chief diplomat, because he knows the region's challenges and will also prioritize the crisis taking place just 90 miles from U.S. shores in Cuba. As the son of Cuban immigrants, Rubio is a close observer and vocal critic of Havana's communist regime. During his confirmation hearing, Rubio said Cuba is "literally collapsing." He's right. My neighbors and I in Havana experience ongoing power outages and long lines for food and basic medications. Many necessary items are simply not available. The situation is even worse in Cuba's rural areas.… Looking ahead,...

    The Pentagon expects to send two flights of migrants to Guantanamo Bay this weekend, the first step in President Donald Trump’s plans to use the the base for detaining people swept up in his crackdown on illegal immigration. The final details are still getting worked out, according to two defense officials, but the planes likely will join another one headed to Peru as the military seeks to enact Trump’s orders to deport thousands of people in the country illegally. The military has flown eight flights so far — including four to Guatemala, three to Honduras and one to Ecuador —...

    **SNIP** Those busts included dozens of members of the vicious Venezuelan Tren de Aragua prison gang — as well as multiple MS-13 gang members — at least five “career criminals” nabbed by the Drug Enforcement Administration and scores of others wanted for murder, kidnapping, child molestation and more. ICE has shared daily “enforcement updates” on X since Jan. 23, outlining their daily arrest totals, as well as detainers lodged — formal requests for inmates to be held until they can be picked up by immigration officials. Through Tuesday, officials made 5,537 arrests and lodged 4,333 detainers, giving authorities a running...

    WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed the Laken Riley Act into law, giving federal authorities broader power to deport immigrants in the U.S. illegally who have been accused of crimes. He also announced at the ceremony that his administration planned to send the “worst criminal aliens” to a detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The bipartisan act, the first piece of legislation approved during Trump’s second term, was named for Riley, a 22-year-old Georgia nursing student who was slain last year by a Venezuelan man in the U.S. illegally. “She was a light of warmth and kindness,”...

    President Donald Trump has announced plans to open a facility on Guantanamo Bay to house 30,000 illegal migrants. The U.S. military base in Cuba has historically been used to hold terror suspects since 9/11 and detainees include some of the accused masterminds. Trump's move is part of his unprecedented crackdown on the border on illegal migration since the moment he entered office last week. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has conducted raids across the country and deportation flights have left the United States daily. Trump said the facility with 30,000 beds will be used to keep the 'worst of the worst'...

    A crowd of over 1,000 Cuban-Americans and supporters of the anti-communist cause rallied in front of the White House on Tuesday in support of President Donald Trump’s Cuba policies and urging him to take more stringent action to contain the malicious influence of the Castro regime. The rally took place on the anniversary of the birthday of José Martí, Cuba’s most influential writer and freedom fighter, in 1853. It was convened by Miami-based commentator Alexander Otaola and featured the presence of several prominent members of the Cuban-American community of Florida. The congregants urged President Trump to adopt measures to restrict...

    A Florida Republican has demanded President Donald Trump spare thousands of migrants from deportation amid fears his crackdown could hurt the GOP. Trump aggressively went full-steam ahead with his pledge to carry out the largest mass deportation effort in US history in his first week back in power, arresting over 2,000 people in a widespread crackdown and put and end to Biden-era immigration programs. Representative Maria Elvira Salazar issued a desperate letter to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Friday begging them to spare migrants who entered the country under Biden's 'humanitarian parole' program from deportation. While Trump won...

    According to a an intelligence report just received, when Barack Obama's mother, Ann Durham, traveled to Cuba in 1960, as member of a group of American students who were supporting Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution, she was sent to live in a "Red" commune in Central Cuba. Although she was known for her loose behavior or promiscuity, she mostly went out with a Cuban from the city of Sagüa La Grande, on the northern coast of Cuba, named Francisco Cundo. According to the report, when Ann left Cuba in December of 1960, she was two months pregnant. Ann proceeded...
