The left-wing Denver city council voted unanimously to shutter its anti-theft auto license plate tracking system because ICE could use the data to deport illegals. In May, the council voted against renewing the $666,000 contract with Flock that was launched about a year ago. The camera system monitors the area around 70 Denver intersections and was set up to screen for car theft. The system, which reportedly scans 2 million cars per month, has already resulted in the recovery of 170 stolen cars and 300 arrests. The camera data has also helped the Denver Police Department (DPD) to investigate hit-and-runs...

Los Angeles and California never cease to amaze. I can say that with absolute certainty.Just when you think things are simmering down, those folks out there come up some off-the-wall freakin' crap that just so mind glowingly unreal, you have to check twice to make sure you read it right.And then it's still unbelievable.That daffy, worthless, Communista LA mayor is still doing her posing and not much else regarding the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity that hasn't paused while LA's coddled illegals go through the motions, acting out during their tantrums in the streets.STOP THIS LAW STUFF RIGHT NOW“Mayors...

Federal prosecutors say Judge Hannah C. Dugan helped the man evade immigration agents who were waiting in a Milwaukee courthouse to arrest him.

The documents, signed on June 20, say he has agreed to plead guilty to entering the United States illegally after being removed from the country in...

In a shocking display of leftist hypocrisy, a group of activists stopped Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from arresting a known illegal alien child predator in the Denver, Colorado, area, with ICE later confirming on social media that the alien was convicted of and wanted in Italy. For context, in a post on social media on June 21, 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) explained that a group of their agents had been prevented from arresting a dangerous illegal immigrant criminal from El Salvador named Jose Reyes Leon-Deras, when a group of anti-ICE activists arrived on the scene...

A US State Department visa specialist was caught on undercover camera admitting to helping illegal aliens evade deportation. Arlsan Akhtar told the O’Keefe Media Group undercover reporter that he secretly advises illegal aliens on how to evade deportation, mocked Americans, slammed Jews and other ethnic groups and immigrants. “I do say it to cab drivers that are from, like, Hispanic descent, I’m like, ‘don’t talk to the police.’ Don’t admit the truth… If you want a loophole, keep your mouth shut,” Arslan Akhtar said. Akhtar said he hates Yemenis, Bangladeshi people and Jews: “I hate them [Yemenis] with a passion....

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents on Thursday staged in large numbers near Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. But later, only a small number remained, as local media reports indicated that they had been blocked from entry to the stadium. It had been originally surmised the DHS agents were actually from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). One social media post indicated, "Currently here at Dodger Stadium where a few ice agents are left straggling. Earlier this morning there were a few dozen agents doing a staging with multiple vans parked around."

A Democratic mayor is defending the public release of names of federal immigration officers involved in mass migrant round ups, claiming that the real concern isn't their safety, but that masked agents are 'whisking people' away. Names of agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were posted to online by the City of Nashville, as part of a public records request that mandates information about immigration be posted online to a city website. Mayor Freddie O'Connell is currently under investigation by two Congressional committees for allegedly helping illegal immigrants in Music City evade deportations. 'I understand the concerns but it's...

As federal immigration enforcement operations ripple across Orange County, local community groups are scrambling to respond in real time. At the center of this grassroots effort is the Orange County Rapid Response Network, or OCRRN, a community-run coalition that’s become the primary source of updates on where Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids are happening, and where agents might go next. ... "Through those methods, De Anda said her team documented at least 50 to 60 detentions across the county over a three-day period this week." ... “What we have traditionally seen in terms of ICE agents is them wearing ICE...

An Irvine city councilmember in an Instagram post encouraged undocumented people to stay home on Thursday, June 12, after learning that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers would be in the city throughout the day. Later, about 200 people gathered by Angel Stadium to protest ICE activities in Orange County and elsewhere. As the Anaheim demonstration grew, some people climbed street poles to wave Mexican flags and around a dozen others stood in the middle of the street as cars drove by. Eventually, the protest turned into dancing in the streets, and then someone lit a firecracker, and at about 8...

But across the country what we’re seeing is really not actions that are trying to target folks that are not actually doing anything illegal or that...

As President Donald Trump’s administration ramps up immigration enforcement in his second term, California Democrats are doubling down on their efforts to shield illegal aliens from federal authorities, even in places where public safety is at stake. This week, the California State Senate passed a series of bills that critics argue would all but handcuff federal immigration agents operating in the state. Democrats are moving to place fresh restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The legislation would ban ICE from making arrests at schools, hospitals, homeless shelters, and domestic violence shelters unless they obtain a judicial warrant — a...

With the support of the House Judiciary Committee, I will be formally requesting all documents and communications from the Mayor’s office related to: – The amendment of Executive Order 30—an outrageous directive requiring Nashville employees and first responders to report all communication with federal immigration authorities directly to the Mayor. – Any internal discussions or documents concerning ICE enforcement actions in Nashville or Davidson County. – All correspondence involving Metro employees and affiliated NGOs regarding the arrest or detention of criminal illegal aliens within the city or county.

Minnesota Democrats are doubling down on their radical agenda, pledging to “fight until the very end” to provide free health care to illegal immigrants, on the backs of hardworking taxpayers. As everyday Minnesotans struggle with rising premiums, longer wait times, and an overstretched health care system, progressive lawmakers are prioritizing illegal immigrants over legal residents. Dozens of Democrats from Minnesota’s Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) rallied outside the state House chamber on Friday to oppose a new policy that would end free health care for undocumented adult immigrants by year’s end, while still allowing coverage for children to continue. Protesters held signs...

The indictment accused Dugan of "falsely" telling federal officials in April that...

Justice is supposed to be blind—not complicit. If the federal allegations are accurate, Judge Hannah Dugan didn’t just turn a blind eye to a fugitive in her courtroom—she opened the back door and showed him the way out. In doing so, Judge Dugan broke faith with the law, the victims of the case before her, and the judiciary itself. She allegedly transformed her courtroom into an escape hatch for a fugitive—not a forum for justice—endangering not only the integrity of her office but also the safety of law enforcement officers, innocent bystanders, and even the very defendant she abetted in...
