All we know is we’ve got to get ready,” he tells thousands of followers. “Give us any tips if you see any suspicious cars.”Moments later, his phone buzzes.As an unprecedented immigration crackdown enters a third month, a growing number of Chicago residents are fighting...

If ICE or other immigration agents go out of bounds, the place to fight them is the courts, not the streets —and New York pols from Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani on down are courting chaos if they play the issue otherwise. Consider City Councilman Shaun Abreu’s smear Wednesday, posting an inflammatory video that he claimed showed Homeland Security officers pulling a migrant out of an SUV in Washington Heights without due process. Abreu blasted the arrest as “deeply disturbing” and part of a “despicable pattern of intimidation,” huffing that agencies “carrying out [President Donald] Trump’s agenda of detaining people without due...

Federal prosecutors have filed additional terrorism-related charges against six additional people in connection with the July 4 shooting outside the Prairieland immigration detention center near Alvarado, Texas, with six other defendants scheduled to enter guilty pleas. The latest indictment was issued Friday and expands on earlier charges. According to the Associated Press, the new counts relate to President Donald Trump’s declaration of Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. The violence occurred on July 4 outside the Prairieland facility, which is southwest of Dallas. Prosecutors say a group of suspects set off fireworks, vandalized vehicles and opened fire on responding officers....

LOS ANGELES - Federal authorities confirmed agents snatched a toddler during an arrest outside a Home Depot in Los Angeles. The organization, Los Angeles Rapid Response Network, said a man and a toddler were both in the process of an "unsettling arrest" on Tuesday, November 4. Federal authorities later confirmed it was a 32-year-old man and his son. LARRN said the arrests happened as federal agents were staging inside the Dodger Stadium parking lot, which is a short distance from the Cypress Park location of Home Depot, where the detainment took place. Federal agents drove off from the scene with...

Department of Justice leadership directed federal prosecutors to give them examples by Friday of hurdles they have encountered with judges when working on cases about attacks on law enforcement and Antifa.... The areas were laid out in a bulleted list and included assaults on law enforcement, obstruction of immigration authorities, investigations into certain "domestic terror organizations, such as Antifa" or "interstate threats, doxxing, and/or hoaxes...." "Courts exist to apply the law, not invent policy from the bench," the spokesperson said. "The Department is committed to strengthening our litigation posture at every level so we can better defend public safety initiatives...

*** Aren’t New Yorkers proud? What an achievement. All because the city that used to be known as “the greatest city on the planet” is now filled with a poisonous mixture of young jobless communists angry at living in their parents’ basement, and foreigners who hate the country they invaded, and want to turn us into the failed third world sh**tholes they just escaped from. So, I have an idea. “If you can’t beat them, give ‘em what they want.” Here is how President Trump can win this battle for the soul of America. Stop fighting the communists and Muslim...

Chaos erupted outside an immigration processing center in Chicago on Thursday when anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agitators clashed with law enforcement. The incident led to multiple arrests after demonstrators blocked traffic and refused orders to disperse, according to Fox Chicago. Video from the scene shows federal agents and Illinois State Police in scuffles with protesters and then taking several people into custody. The facility is located in Broadview, a western suburb of Chicago about 12 miles from downtown, and has been a longstanding protest site for years.

Congresswoman LaMonica McIver must face at least two of three federal charges accusing her of assaulting and impeding immigration officers outside a New Jersey detention center after federal judge on Thursday rejected her attempt to dismiss the case. The New Jersey Democrat was charged with three counts of assaulting, resisting, impeding and interfering with federal officials following her May 9 visit to Delaney Hall, a privately owned, 1,000-bed facility in Newark that ICE uses as a detention center. The government alleges McIver intervened as federal agents attempted to arrest Newark Mayor Ras Baraka. U.S. District Judge Jamel Semper turned down...

*** On Wednesday, Swedish automaker Polestar announced plans for a reverse stock split in a bid to avoid being delisted from the exchange — a move that slashes the number of shares in circulation but boosts their per-share value. For example, a one-for-ten split would turn ten shares trading at $1 into a single share worth $10. Companies typically attempt these reverse splits when their stock has fallen so low that they risk losing their stock-market listing — it’s a cosmetic fix that can buy time, but rarely changes the underlying problems. Wall Street wasn't impressed. The stock plunged nearly...

According to a letter from the DHS, York entered the ICE facility...

A federal judge has ordered Long Island's Suffolk County, NY, to pay $112 million in damages after hundreds of illegal immigrants were detained by local authorities on behalf of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The ruling determined that both the county and the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office violated the constitutional rights of 674 individuals who were kept in county jails in 2017 even after posting bail or resolving their criminal cases. “This decision brings long-overdue accountability,” said Jose Perez, Deputy General Counsel at LatinoJustice PRLDEF, which represented the plaintiffs. “The jury confirmed what we have argued all along, that Suffolk...

A manager at the Laugh Factory in Chicago was arrested for allegedly obstructing a federal immigration operation — but his mother claimed agents “kidnapped” him before her eyes. A Border Patrol spokesperson told NBC Chicago that Griffin was detained after he “attempted to impede and obstruct federal officers,” and claims he attempted to shut the door of the federal agents’ car on an agent’s leg. “The individual was immediately detained and turned over to the FBI for investigation,” Border Patrol said.

Whenever the Trump administration ramps up immigration enforcement, it is only a matter of time before some lunatic, anti-borders politician decides that the U.S. has suddenly found itself an oompah band and is three beer steins away from becoming Nazi Germany. Just in the last few months, Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker accused the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of engaging in “Nazi” tactics and “Gestapo-style abductions;” and former Minnesota governor Tim Walz referred to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as “Donald Trump’s modern Gestapo.” Meanwhile, during President Trump’s first term, Congressional Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez regularly compared ICE...

Much like the entirety of this year, social media timelines were flooded with “horrifying” videos of Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arresting illegal aliens, with liberal users often not providing the full facts of what was actually happening with the arrests. The first case that caused high levels of outrage was that of a Colombian illegal immigrant who was caught and released at the southern border by the Biden administration in 2023. Videos started circulating of federal agents rushing into a daycare and arresting the woman, who was trying to resist apprehension. The liberal narrative was...

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) has launched an investigation into a Portland anti-ICE activist who was captured on viral video disrupting US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in a North Portland neighborhood, where agents were making targeted arrests of illegal immigrants with foreign gang affiliations. The agitator, who had been recklessly driving through the neighborhood to impede ICE operations, was stopped by ICE officials on Thursday afternoon after blowing a red light and nearly colliding with a school bus while trailing federal vehicles, which she attempted to box in multiple times with her Mustang. The Post Millennial captured the incident...

Republican Chicagoans believe the conflicts between ICE and the protesters are a consequence of the city's sanctuary policies. "ICE is trying to get the worst of the worst out of the city to keep them safer. They're getting a lot of really bad people out of our community: sex offenders, drug cartel pushers. I've seen crime go down because of this." "If the city cooperated with the Feds. ICE wouldn't have to go out into the streets and make arrests." Democrats who opposed ICE's actions are no different from the Confederates who tried to separate from the federal government during...
