The government in West Virginia, instead of trying to thwart federal immigration officers, formed a partnership with them that helped put over 600 illegal alien criminals in handcuffs.While Democrat-run California could be on the cusp of releasing 33,000 illegal alien criminals, Republican-run West Virginia is now prioritizing the safety of its citizens. If only more state governments would work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), there would not be so much violence against ICE and it would be much more straightforward to arrest and deport foreign criminals.In just two weeks in January, the state-federal authorities’ partnership resulted in 650 arrests,...

A U.S. Olympic curler has become the latest in a trend of American athletes to use the Winter Olympics as a platform to blast President Trump’s policies at home.Rich Ruohonen, 54, a member of the U.S. Olympic curling team and a native of Minnesota, used a considerable chunk of his time in front of reporters on Tuesday to speak out against the efforts of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in his home state to rid the streets of criminal illegals.“I’d like to say I’m proud to be here to represent Team USA, and to represent our country. But we’d...

Liberal white woman BREAKS DOWN in tears because ICE agents are deporting criminal illegal immigrants. “These people are Nazl’s. We’re going to track down every ICE agent when this is over — they will NEVER own a house, car, or ANY assets..”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic leaders say a proposal from the White House is “incomplete and insufficient” as they are demanding new restrictions on President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown and threatening a shutdown of the Homeland Security Department. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said in a statement late Monday that a White House counterproposal to the list of demands they transmitted over the weekend “included neither details nor legislative text” and does not address “the concerns Americans have about ICE’s lawless conduct.” The White House proposal was not released publicly. Schumer and Jeffries have said...

On February 2, Congress approved full-year appropriations for nearly every major federal agency, except the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is temporarily funded until February 13. Following the tragic shootings of Alex Pretti and Renée Good, Democrats have threatened to block full-year funding for the DHS unless Republicans agree to restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement … Traditionally, defense, immigration, and border control agencies are funded through discretionary appropriations—an annual process in which Congress is supposed to reassess and adjust overall funding levels for roughly one-fourth of all government spending. Because Congress must affirmatively approve this category of spending...

Immigrant groups have a message for their mostly White allies: Quit blowing the whistle on ICE. They also pointed to disproportionate impacts on "Black and Brown communities" that are already "overexposed to chronic noise pollution," which they linked to PTSD, anxiety, sleep disruption and heart disease.

While pretending that ICE agents are doing something wrong, liberals stridently demanded they wear bodycams to document their misdeeds. Then Kristi Noem said sure. So now, via Politico: A push to put body cameras on all ICE agents has Democrats running headlong into a new problem: fear that the technology will provide another avenue for mass surveillance of protesters. Naturally, ICE agents still manage to be the bad guys according to the liberal narrative. This happened before, during the George Floyd riots. The liberal establishment screeched that local police were oppressing blacks. Officers were made to wear bodycams, which then...

An Irish man has spent five months in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention and faces deportation despite having a valid work permit and no criminal record. Seamus Culleton was a “model immigrant” who had become the victim of a capricious and inept system, said his lawyer, Ogor Winnie Okoye. Originally from County Kilkenny, Culleton is married to a US citizen and runs a plastering business in the Boston area. While buying supplies at a hardware store on 9 September 2025 he was arrested in a random immigration sweep, according to Okoye, of BOS Legal Group in Massachusetts. Culleton entered...

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) said it was “not realistic” to remove over 25 million people in this country who are undocumented.’#Lawler said, “Look, this is an issue that I’ve been focused on for years. You know, for 40 years, we have not solved our immigration crisis. The American people were rightly outraged by what happened under the Biden administration, where you had over 10.5 million migrants cross our border, most of them illegally. You know, porous Southern border needed to be shut down. President Trump did that. The fact is, we have had nine straight...

Striking San Francisco public school teachers left schools closed and classrooms empty Monday as they demand a deal for higher pay, fully funded healthcare and more staffing. San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie said he was “disappointed” and “frustrated” that United Educators of San Francisco — which oversees 6,000 unionized public school employees — could not reach an agreement with the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) over the weekend, ABC7 News Bay Area reported. Lurie made a plea in a Sunday social media post to delay the strike for three days so about 50,000 students could stay in classrooms while...

Those who claim President Barack Obama deported illegal aliens more "humanely" make the following assertions: a) ICE didn't go into the streets under Obama; b) there were no street activists/protesters/agitators; c) ICE only deported those with criminal records beyond illegal entry or illegally overstaying; d) Obama's deportation numbers largely include "returns" or those deported at the border; e) the Obama administration did not engage in "lawlessness"; and f) ICE and/or Customs and Border Patrol arrested only illegal aliens after first securing a judicial warrant. As for a), under Obama, ICE did go into the streets, including into the interior and...

We have another video masterpiece of peace and urban harmony from Chicago, otherwise known as America’s largest open-air shooting gallery. While Mayor Brandon Johnson continues to rail against ICE agents rounding up criminal illegals in his dystopian city, four gang members opened up on a rival’s car shortly after noon just across town from hizzoner. While the shooters only perforated their intended target in the butt-tocks, they did successfully kill the man’s girlfriend with their fusillade of lead. Thankfully and miraculously, the bangers with the blasters somehow missed the toddler in the back seat. Gabryel Ayers, 26, was driving the...

The Drawdown and Its ScopeOn February 4, 2026, federal officials announced that approximately 700 immigration enforcement personnel would be withdrawn from Minnesota effective immediately.

The letter, citing recent ICE killings of Keith Porter, Renee Good, and Alex Pretti, said that the employees are “appalled by the violence” and “horrified” by Google’s part in it. “Google is powering this campaign of surveillance, violence, and repression,” the letter reads. It goes on to cite that Google Cloud is aiding CBP surveillance and powering Palantir’s ImmigrationOS...

The only people worried about ICE at the polls either shouldn’t be at the polls or are benefiting from the votes of people who shouldn’t be at the polls.

Dems have been calling for ICE body cameras, but as I noted a few days ago... Body cameras have far more consistently proven that law enforcement acted correctly than otherwise. There’s a reason that Secretary Noem is happy to go along with the idea and why most police departments realized that body cams were a good thing once the impact became clear. In both the Renee Good and Alex Pretti cases, it was cameras and body cameras that provided the damning evidence that dismantled the ‘bloody shirt’ that the media was waving hysterically after the two radicals attacked law enforcement....
