The Trump administration has ordered Reddit to provide personal information on one of its users who criticized Immigration and Customs Enforcement, The Intercept reported on Friday. Reddit has until April 14 to provide the data. Attorneys for the user say their client’s posts and their anonymity are clearly protected by the First Amendment. On March 4, an ICE agent in Fairfax, Virginia sent a request to Reddit seeking information on the user, referred to as John Doe. To compel compliance, ICE slapped the social media behemoth with an administrative subpoena, which does not require approval from a judge. “Failure to...

BREAKING: DHS confirms to @FoxNews that the suspect charged w/ murdering an innocent gas station clerk in Fort Meyers, FL by bludgeoning her to death with a hammer is a Haitian illegal alien who was caught & released at the border by the Biden admin in 2022. An immigration judge ordered Rolbert Joachim deported from the U.S. later that same year, but DHS says the Biden admin shielded him from deportation by granting him Temporary Protected Status, which expired in 2024. There is an extremely graphic video of the April 3rd killing on social media. Joachim is seen hitting a...

RICHMOND, VA — Virginia's Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger on Tuesday ignored questions on whether she would entertain calls from the Department of Homeland Security to end sanctuary policies in the state. "Governor Spanberger must end her sanctuary policies that allow these illegal aliens onto our streets and work with DHS to protect the citizens of the commonwealth," the agency said in a post to social media. Virginia — and in particular Fairfax County — has made headlines in recent weeks for a string of deadly attacks carried out by illegal aliens. Earlier this month, authorities charged 28-year-old Guatemala native Misael...

The shooting of Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez by federal immigration agents on Tuesday is a sickening reminder. It is a sign of what’s to come if California doesn’t do more to protect its communities from government agents behaving like a lawless occupying force

ICE agents had to take dramatic action this afternoon to save their own lives from an extremely violent illegal alien in California. As KTVU reported, ICE officers shot a person in Paterson who they suspected was an illegal immigrant gang member. This led to a partial closure of the I-5 freeway in Stanislaus County. Per KTVU, the illegal alien was wanted in connection with a murder in the city. Fox News’s Bill Melugin later revealed more information: the illegal alien was a known 18th Street gangster from El Salvador and was shot while ICE agents were trying to arrest him.

You know what sounds like a good TV show? “ICE Boston .” I’d watch. In real life, they’re helping clear the streets of New England of criminal illegal aliens, and they’ve nabbed five of them who were let in under the Biden regime and were firmly on the radar of the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol), a cooperative body of 196 countries that shares information. Advertisement Ironically, the agents are operating out of a city whose mayor, Michelle Wu, pitched a fit over their presence and crafted an executive order in February calling ICE missions “unconstitutional and violent federal operations”...

The disgraced relative of an Iranian warlord being deported from California has reached out to her former LA love interest from an ICE detention center to beg for help. Married Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, 47, niece of terror mastermind Gen. Qasem Soleimani – former commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard who was taken out in a deadly 2020 U.S. air strike – frantically called Maziar Aflaki, 68, on Monday from the facility in Pearsall, Texas. But on hearing her voice, retiree Aflaki declined to accept the call, claiming years of harassment and abuse at the hands of Afshar. He told the...

An alleged illegal immigrant gang member wanted in connection with a murder investigation in El Salvador was shot Tuesday by federal agents in California after authorities claim he tried to run over an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer with his car. ICE Director Todd Lyons told Fox News the shooting unfolded after ICE agents conducted a targeted vehicle stop in Patterson, California, to arrest Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, a suspected 18th Street Gang member wanted in El Salvador for questioning in connection with a murder. Mendoza Hernandez was allegedly flagged by the National Targeting Center, according to a senior...

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained an illegal immigrant who was released back into the community after allegedly kidnapping a 4-year-old girl from a laundromat in New York, a report said. The Department of Homeland Security told the New York Post that Carlos Corte-Corte, 38, of Ecuador, was taken into custody by ICE on March 31 and placed into removal proceedings following the March 28 incident at Laundry Kingdom in Patchogue. "This three-time deported criminal illegal alien, Carlos Corte-Corte, kidnapped an innocent four-year-old girl from a laundromat on Long Island. New York sanctuary politicians chose to release this kidnapper...

Colorado attorneys are starting to push back after a certification prompt began appearing when they log into the state’s court e-filing system. The requirement traces back to Senate Bill 25-276 and related statutes, including C.R.S. § 24-74-105, which deal with how the state handles nonpublic personal identifying information. Under that law, access to certain data comes with a certification—made under penalty of perjury—about how it will be used. On paper, the statute applies broadly to third parties accessing protected data. In practice, though, the certification has now been built into Colorado Courts E-Filing (CCE), meaning attorneys are being asked to...

Although ICE has celebrated going after “the worst of the worst criminals” in Ohio, the vast majority of people taken into custody had no criminal conviction – less than 7% of arrestees during the heightened enforcement surge in mid-December had a criminal record, according to the Deportation Data Project (DDP) data analyzed by The Dispatch. The DDP collects immigration data from lawsuits and publishes the datasets publicly.

The stunned Los Angeles renter of the property owned by the niece of Iranian terror mastermind Gen. Qasem Soleimani said he now realizes the mom and her daughter had been on ICE’s radar for some time before agents swooped on the quiet Tujunga home and hauled the pair away. Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, 47, and her daughter, Sarinasadat Hosseiny, 25, were arrested by ICE Friday and had their green cards revoked for ties to the Iranian regime. Afshar had celebrated attacks on US soldiers and military facilities, praised Iran’s Supreme Leader, called America the “Great Satan,” and voiced support for the...

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested the head of Wisconsin's largest mosque, who was previously linked to Democrat Representative Rashida Tlaib and groups allegedly connected to Hamas. Salah Salem Sarsour, 53, was apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security [DHS] on Monday, in a 'targeted operation' in Milwaukee, according to federal authorities. DHS said Jordanian national Sarsour is a 'convicted terrorist' who allegedly lied on his green card application when he arrived in the United States over 30 years ago. Sarsour serves as the president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee and is a high-profile community member and businessman. The...

FIRST ON FOX: Montana’s attorney general is demanding a county reverse a policy whereby the state's top cop denies Immigration and Customs Enforcement access to criminal justice data, warning the position is unlawful and undermines coordination with federal law enforcement, as a top local official pushed back. Montana banned sanctuary cities under Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte's pen in 2021, and that policy also allows Attorney General Austin Knudsen to enforce compliance and investigate alleged aberrations under threat of civil action against any such state agency or local or county government. Knudsen notified Gallatin County — anchored by the city of...

🚨 JUST IN: ICE pulled off a SLICK mass-arrest ploy in Pennsylvania today, tricking DOZENS of illegals into coming to the DMV under the guise of “renewing their CDLs” And as soon as they arrived, they were rounded up and ARRESTED THAT’S HOW IT’S DONE! 🔥

Lefty TikToker tries to bait ICE agents at JFK airport — see their flawless reaction A doctor who is a lefty TikToker tried to rile up Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at JFK Airport with some obnoxious insults — but they wouldn’t bite. Dr. Jennifer Lincoln, an OB-GYN doctor and who has more than 2.8 million followers on the social media app, approached the ICE officers in vests in the Queens airport terminal and initially appeared to be thanking them before pulling out the rug and berating them, a video she posted Thursday shows. “Excuse me,” she says to the...

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released additional evidence it says confirms that a staffer for Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, lied about being an attorney for detainees at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) center in an effort to meet with them and sneak in smuggled cell phones. In March, acting ICE Director Todd Lyons informed Escobar in a letter about Benito Torres, a senior caseworker on the congresswoman's staff, who Lyons said lied about being a lawyer for detainees in ICE custody at the Camp East Montana center at Fort Bliss in El Paso. Lyons requested that...

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have arrested 811 immigrants in New York City since August who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Of these “collateral” arrests — as the agency calls them — 85% involved people with no criminal history, according to newly obtained ICE data. THE CITY had reported on several examples of those arrests, including that of a 28-year-old construction worker on the streets of Corona, Queens while he was headed to work one morning. Agents claimed they had been looking for his neighbor, but they took him instead. Overall, these “collateral” arrests...

There are mixed emotions here: It’s good that the Department of Homeland Security shutdown is ending. It’s ridiculous that Congress had to go through multiple rounds to fund just one agency, making the latter part of this saga a Republican circus. Make no mistake, this was a Democrat-caused shutdown. They supported it, kept TSA workers without pay, causing many to quit, and left our homeland vulnerable to terror attacks during Operation Epic Fury. We haven’t even considered the natural disaster scenarios that could’ve occurred; FEMA would’ve been paralyzed. Alas, the House GOP is going to support John Thune and the...

California Democrats are seeking to disqualify federal immigration and DHS agents from future employment as California state or local police, or sheriffs, and prevent them applying for tax breaks, because they oppose President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.
