The FBI has determined that in the next six to 18 months, the Venezuelan government will try to use the members of TdA in the US to threaten, kidnap, and kill US-based Venezuelans critical of the Maduro regime. The FBI has said that Venezuelan officials are "likely using" members of the Tren de Aragua gang in order to destabilize the United States as well as other countries, according to a new report from Fox News. This comes after President Donald Trump has said that the government of Venezuela has purposefully been sending the terrorist gang members into the US. According...

For years, a smug, self-righteous activist named Nandini Jammi made it her mission to silence conservative voices by labeling everything she didn’t like as “disinformation” or “hate”—including Revolver. We covered Nandini Jammi and her dark censorship empire way before anybody else caught on. While the left was busy fawning over her brand safety activism, we peeled back the curtain and showed you what was really going on—an evil censorship racket that shook down conservative companies with empty threats, fake outrage, and social media mob tactics. Here’s a look back at what we uncovered about Jammi’s operation—how she went from memeing...

A Congressional delegation traveled to Louisiana on Tuesday to demand the release of Rümeysa Öztürk, a PhD student at Tufts University, and Mahmoud Khalil, a 2024 Columbia University graduate, and to examine conditions at their separate detention facilities. It’s the first time a delegation has visited with either detainee. The visit was first reported by CNN. Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) shared on X that he was heading to Louisiana to demand the release of Ozturk, one of his constituents. Markey was joined by fellow Democrats, Reps. Troy Carter (La.), Bennie Thompson (Miss.), Ayanna Pressley and Jim McGovern (Mass.). Ozturk’s arrest...

Over the past two decades, a reclusive Swiss billionaire has poured more than $800 million into left-wing causes across America, and now states are fighting back. Hansjörg Wyss, 89, a Swiss national with an estimated net worth of roughly five billion dollars, has quietly become one of the most influential donors on the American left. He has spent more than $800 million bankrolling hundreds of left-wing causes across the United States, donating millions to climate change groups, abortion activists, and the Clinton Foundation. Information about him is sparse, but his sister once wrote that Wyss seeks to “(re)interpret the American...

Let me tell you the real story of Mohsen Mahdawi, the latest student to have been arrested by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the PR campaign he launched to publicize his detention and play an entire state of elected officials, turning many into fools, patsies, and mouthpieces to cover his terror-affiliated history. The bottom line here is really scary. Mohsen has 17 years of university experience in total. Almost a decade of those 17 years were spent around US campuses – starting up anti-Israel groups and radicalising students. He does not appear to have a single degree to...

Boston Democratic Mayor Michelle Wu’s 2021 campaign received hundreds of thousands of dollars from a fundraiser who is listed by a Chinese intelligence agency as an official, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation discovered. Gary Yu, the founder of Boston International Media Consulting, helped raise over $300,000 for Wu with the help of a Chinese civic association he leads. However, Yu — whose Chinese name is Yu Guoliang — is listed as an official by an agency of a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence and intelligence service called the United Front Work Department (UFWD), and also operates as a recruiter...

The First Amendment is not a suicide pact between a nation and foreigners who wish it harm.Last week, an immigration judge ruled that the Trump administration met the legal requirements under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) to deport Mahmoud Khalil, who is a U.S. permanent resident and also a prominent pro-Palestinian political organizer.As a quick refresher, the arrest of Khalil is part of a broader crackdown by the Trump administration on revoking the student visas of political activists who have taken part, or supported, the Pro-Palestinian/Anti-Israel movements that have taken hold of American college campuses since the Oct. 7...

A Turkish national and doctoral student at Tufts University has been detained by U.S. Department of Homeland Security agents without explanation, her lawyer said Wednesday. Rumeysa Ozturk, 30, had just left her home in Somerville on Tuesday night when she was stopped, lawyer Mahsa Khanbabai said in a petition filed in Boston federal court. Video obtained by The Associated Press appears to show six people, their faces covered, taking away Ozturk’s phone as she yells and is handcuffed. “We’re the police,” members of the group are heard saying in the video. A man is heard asking, “Why are you hiding...

Of all the judges in the U.S. all five foreign-born judges of the D.C. court managed to get their fingerprints on controversial Trump cases... The United States District Court for the District of Columbia, the source of many of the cases interfering with President Donald Trump’s authority, has 15 judges, (Counting Chief Judge James Boasberg) and five of them were born outside the United States. While country of origin doesn’t come up in most jobs, it is worth asking if judges with ties to foreign nations and cultures are the right ones to make decisions affecting the U.S. military or...

This story stinks worse than that which was rotten in Denmark. So, Some Quick Thoughts (SQT) on it. This was and is a planned op. It clearly was expected that the new administration would try to deport him. Hence, his comment to his wife when getting picked up; the huge legal team including several $1,000/hr high-profile litigators; the PR teams at work; etc. They had things ready to go, and I think the only thing that caught them off guard was how fast he was taken to Louisiana. Someone, and I don’t think it purely domestic, wanted to make him...

Independent journalists report that LAPD officers pulled back and surrendered the streets to Mexican flag-waving protesters Sunday night. Earlier reports showed the LAPD in riot gear carrying zip ties and threatening to arrest protesters blocking the city’s streets. An independent journalist’s video post on X shows Los Angeles police officers wearing riot helmets and armed with nightsticks ordering a group of Mexican flag-waving protesters. The officers appear to be pushing the crowd back from an intersection as they issued a one-minute order to disband. Journalist Anthony Cabassa posted that just as officers were about to make arrest, “all the police...

LIVE ANTI ICE PROTESTS

President Donald Trump is ordering the deportation of foreign students who took part in pro-Hamas protests on college campuses in the US as he launches a wide-ranging crackdown on anti-Semitism. Trump said he would instruct his Justice Department to 'aggressively prosecute terroristic threats, arson, vandalism and violence against American Jews'. He added: 'To all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests, we put you on notice... we will find you, and we will deport you. 'I will also quickly cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathisers on college campuses, which have been infested with radicalism like never...

Within moments of returning to the Oval Office on Monday, President Donald Trump got to work signing a flurry of executive orders. One of them is focused on "protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists and other national security and public safety threats." That's bad news for pro-terrorist visas holders causing trouble on college campuses by advocating for terrorist organizations like Hamas. "The Secretary of Homeland Security shall take immediate steps to exclude or remove that alien unless she determines that doing so would inhibit a significant pending investigation or prosecution of the alien for a serious criminal offense or...

Executive decree says US government must be 'vigilant' in issuing visas and ensure recipients support 'do not advocate for, aid, or support designated foreign terrorists.' By Jacob Magid and ToI Staff. 21 January 2025. Trump order appears to target some foreigners participating in anti-Israel protests.

Columbia University erupted in another round of anti-Israel protests Tuesday, with masked people disrupting classes and passing out flyers showing a boot stamping on a Star of David, witnesses told The Post. Video shows the masked protesters bursting into a History of Modern Israel class on campus and handing out flyers showing an Israeli flag on fire and the words “Burn Zionism to the ground.” The incident comes as Columbia was named the “national model” for anti-Israel protest — setting a template copied by others for coordinated protests across the country, according to a watchdog group. In its report looking...

President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order permitting the deportation of students and other foreign nationals who express support for terrorist organizations that are officially designated as such by the US government. The executive order states that “Whenever information is identified that would support the exclusion or removal of any alien … the Secretary of Homeland Security shall take immediate steps to exclude or remove that alien unless she determines that doing so would inhibit a significant pending investigation or prosecution of the alien for a serious criminal offense or would be contrary to the national security interests...

Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua has such a vested interest in entering the United States that they're actually now attacking border agents in the United States and Mexico in order to get into America before Trump takes office. They've got 20 days, and they're going to take advantage as much as they can of Biden's open border. And if border agents get in the way, they're being attacked by the gang. Knife-wielding Tren de Aragua gang members are mobbing border crossings at El Paso, Texas, in an attempt to break into the US — and have said they will...
