545 Comments The anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protests in Bushwick on Saturday night included a tight-knit group of young semi-pro protesters, familiar from previous clashes with cops. This network of Gen Z agitators — largely young, upwardly mobile transplants to New York City — seem intent on picking a fight with authority first and cause second, moving seamlessly from climate activism to anti-Israel protest and now anti-ICE and immigration enforcement. They organize through decentralized non-public networks, such as Discord and encrypted messaging apps, which you have to be a vetted member to join, according to sources, which is how they...

President Donald Trump has renamed US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to National Immigration and Customs Enforcement (NICE), in an effort to portray federal immigration officers in a positive light in the face of continued demonizing rhetoric from Democratic lawmakers and legacy media. The White House released an image of the agency's new uniforms Tuesday on X, which feature a golden bald eagle accompanied by several symbols and the letters "NICE."

One of the tricks Democrats have tried to pull since the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration began has been to implement directives, executive orders, and even pass legislation at the state level to try to thwart immigration enforcement agents from doing their jobs. Back in February, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) signed Executive Directive 17 (ED-17), which was designed to do just that. Among other things, the directive mandated "that City property is not [to be] utilized by federal immigration agents for staging areas, processing locations, or bases of operation." It also mandated signs to be posted that...

Democrat Mayor of Aurora, Illinois, is driving around DOXING ICE agents and sharing their live locations. This elected official is actively protecting foreign m*rderers, r*pists, and p*dophiles He needs to resign IMMEDIATELY Disgusting

Only a few short years ago, most of us would have deemed it unthinkable that an angry mob would turn out to impede the arrest of a career criminal with arrests for assault and drug-dealing in his rap sheet. But now, today, if that career criminal is an illegal alien, and if it is Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) that is doing the arresting, it seems that in any major city we can expect to see an angry mob show up to defend the criminal. The latest example comes to us from Brooklyn, New York, where a riot broke out...

A mob of about 200 anti-ICE protesters blocked emergency entrances and exits to a Brooklyn hospital Saturday night in a chaotic caught-on-video clash with cops that ended in nine arrests, cops said. The out-of-control activists descended on the Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Bushwick when they got wind that federal immigration agents were in the neighborhood and had taken a man in their custody to the hospital for medical attention, wrote Democratic City Councilwoman Sandy Nurse, who was at the violent event, on X. The unruly protesters quickly flooded the streets in front of and around the hospital to try...

Another member of the “peaceful left” is now facing the consequences after threatening to murder federal agents. 26-year-old Logan Murfin has been convicted on ten felony charges for repeatedly calling for ICE agents to be assassinated on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter.) ICE shared a photo of him in custody: In several of the deranged posts, Murfin compared ICE to the Gestapo and said that they all need to be “gunned down” and “executed” to avoid a repeat of the Holocaust. Here’s a look at some of the disgusting social media posts Murfin posted: Murfin is looking at...

A Southwest Airlines flight attendant prayed for President Trump’s assassination on social media after a gunman breached security at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Michele Carpino made the perverse plea on her Facebook page just minutes after news broke that would-be assassin Cole Allen stormed the annual black-tie Washington press bash last Saturday. “Oh please sweet baby Jesus,” Carpino wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post, Libs of TikTok reported. “WE NEED BETTER ASSASSIN’S! [sic],” she commented after Allen was thwarted by Secret Service agents. Carpino has a history of posting disturbing anti-Trump screeds on social media. “One day we will...

Investigative journalist Katie Daviscourt was violently mobbed and had a rock thrown at her face by masked Antifa militants while attempting to report on their May Day riot outside the federal ICE facility on Friday night. Despite having security present, Daviscourt, a reporter for The Post Millennial and Human Events, was forced to abandon her work as black-bloc extremists swarmed her in what she described as a coordinated “direct action” organized by the domestic terrorist group Antifa. Daviscourt livestreamed the attack and posted a clip to X shortly after it happened. In the post with the video, Daviscourt wrote, “It’s...

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville and his co-host spoke on Thursday about the dangers of Democrats falling for the same far-left rhetoric that weighed them down in past elections. Throughout the 2024 election and long afterward, Carville has continually told his fellow liberals and Democrats to steer clear of divisive identity politics and radical social agendas, warning that they alienate voters and simply aren’t viable policy. He and his co-host, Al Hunt, highlighted Texas congressional candidate Bobby Pulido for his rhetoric across the board during their podcast. Pulido has been widely quoted for offering an explanation to fellow Democrats as...

A Biden-appointed federal judge in Rhode Island has ordered the release of a Dominican illegal alien who is the subject of an Interpol Red Notice for murder in his home country. The criminal illegal alien, Bryan Rafael Gomez, was arrested by ICE Boston in Worcester, Massachusetts on April 4th. He had just been picked up locally for domestic abuse when a background check revealed Dominican authorities issued a criminal arrest warrant against him for homicide in 2023. He is also the subject of an active Interpol Red Notice, an international arrest warrant for murder. Gomez was detained at an ICE...

[...] The Fashion District, a sub-neighborhood of Downtown LA that envelops Santee Alley, has long been home to thousands of family-owned retail shops (some of which operate as wholesale only) and more than 70 restaurants that include everything from casual taquerias to Middle Eastern spots to an acclaimed Hawaii restaurant to high-end options like Italian stunner Rossoblu. Many of the businesses are immigrant-, Latino- and Asian-owned. Until recently, throngs of shoppers would crowd the alley on weekdays and weekends alike. But in the past year, the area has felt much more muted, and at times even deserted, due at least...

A seventeen-second video shows a dark-haired man rapping his pale knuckles gently below the tinted windows of a silver minivan. He stands back, shoving his hands into the pockets of his puffer coat, his boyish face twisted into a severe expression. The car drives off, and the camera pans to follow it down the suburban Minneapolis road. No words are spoken. Splashed across the screen, a bright red and white caption reads, “ICE was circling a local elementary school. I knocked on their door to have a conversation, but they ran away instead.” The man is Matt Little, 41, a...

HUGE NEWS: A federal grand jury has decided to bring indictments against two of the violent protesters who assaulted me in Minneapolis No word yet on which of the three are being indicted, but I’m EXTREMELY grateful to the DOJ for moving so swiftly on this Justice is coming.

President Donald Trump endorsed the idea of renaming U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as National Immigration and Customs Enforcement (NICE). In a Truth Social post, he shared a screenshot of a post on X in which someone had written, "I want Trump to change ICE to NICE (National Immigration and Customs Enforcement) so the media has to say NICE agents all day everyday." "GREAT IDEA!!! DO IT. President DJT" Trump wrote on the Truth Social post.

A federal appeals court has blocked a California law (SB 805, part of the "No Vigilantes Act") that required federal immigration agents (ICE) to wear visible identification. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in April 2026 that the state cannot enforce this requirement on federal agents, citing the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled Wednesday that the state of California -- for now -- cannot enforce two state laws that require all law enforcement officials, including federal and immigration agents, to wear visible identification while banning them from wearing facial coverings. The panel granted an injunction requested by the U.S. government, saying the No Vigilantes Act and No Secret Police Act attempt "to directly reregulate the United States." The No Vigilantes Act or SB 805 was signed into law last year to prevent civilian-style or rogue enforcement after immigration agents, without clear identification in...
