HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) - The balding young man with the black beard raised his hands to cover his face as three visitors entered the room. Abdelghani Mzoudi is no stranger to the world's front pages and television screens after a six-month trial that saw him acquitted this year of aiding and abetting the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States. But he does not like to be recognized, still less to speak to the press. In a drab canteen at Hamburg's Al Quds mosque, housed in an anonymous grey-tiled building with a fitness club on the ground floor, the 31-year-old...

Illegal immigrants in California could soon have their lawyers paid for by taxpayers if a new bill proposed by Sacramento politicians goes through. Starting next year, California would begin to fund legal representation for all unauthorized adults to fight their deportations under new legislation set to clear its first hurdle on Tuesday. “Legal representation saves lives, protects civil liberties and keeps families together,” said bill author Assemblymember Mia Bonta (D). “This is a due process issue in California. People can lose their freedom, their family, their job and home through immigration proceedings.” Last year, Bonta helped pass a law that...

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger (D.) and other local authorities are under fire over a recent string of very high profile and preventable crimes committed by illegal aliens in the sanctuary state. One of Spanberger’s first actions as governor was to sign an executive order barring state and local authorities from cooperating with federal authorities for federal immigration enforcement. Since then, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has pleaded with Spanberger and Fairfax County officials to stop releasing dangerous criminals back into the community without notifying ICE. In the past few weeks, United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged...

Democrat senators claim it is an unconstitutional invasion of privacy that the SAVE America Act requires states to share voter rolls and requisite identifying information with the federal government in order to check for noncitizens, but many of their states already share the same data with left-wing third party organizations. Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., argued against the bill on the Senate floor, stating, “States would be required to report their full voter rolls to Department of Homeland Security and certify that there are no non-citizens on their list. And the federal government can require, then, states to purge their voter...

Progressive Rep. Pramila Jayapal calls for reparations for illegal immigrants ‘traumatized’ by ICE Progressive Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) is calling for illegal immigrants to be paid reparations over alleged trauma they sustained from the Trump administration’s crackdown and ICE operations across the US. Jayapal made the shocking revelation on Friday in front of a panel of “experts” during a hearing she hosted titled “Kidnapped and Disappeared: Trump’s Attack on Children.” “We are going to have to have some form of reparation for the kids and the families that have been traumatized through all of this,” Jayapal said at the conclusion...

An 83-year-old veteran who was allegedly shoved onto subway tracks in New York City by an illegal immigrant with a long criminal history has died from his injuries, the Department of Homeland Security said Thursday. Richard Williams, a retired Air Force pilot, died March 17 after he and another man were allegedly pushed onto the tracks at the Lexington Avenue-63rd Station days earlier. The alleged attacker, Honduran national Bairon Posada-Hernandez, 34, was arrested March 10 and faces a murder charge. John Pena, 30, the other man allegedly pushed onto the tracks, helped pull Williams back onto the platform moments before...

The Loyola Phoenix, the student newspaper of Loyola University Chicago, has issued an editor’s note apologizing for an Instagram post calling the alleged killer of 18-year-old student Sheridan Gorman an "illegal immigrant." "On March 23, a post on The Phoenix’s Instagram page carried the following headline: ‘Immigrant Man Charged in Murder of Sheridan Gorman, DHS Involved,’" the editor’s note, posted below a Sunday article about Gorman’s murder, read. "That headline didn’t reflect the most important elements in the story, and it was taken down minutes later to prevent any further harm to affected community members," the editor’s note continued. "Additionally,...

A progressive Chicago alderwoman is being widely panned on social media over her response to a local college student being allegedly shot and killed by an alleged illegal immigrant over the weekend. Shortly after Sheridan Gorman, 18, of Westchester County, New York, was gunned down while taking a walk with friends around 1:30 a.m. Thursday along Chicago's lakefront, Alderwoman Maria Hadden posted a video suggesting Gorman was in the "wrong place at the wrong time" and that she may have "startled" the individual who shot and killed her. The comments quickly sparked outrage on social media from commenters making the...

An illegal Venezuelan migrant accused of executing a Loyola University Chicago freshman from New York entered the US under the Biden administration, and was released under Chicago’s sanctuary city laws before the killing, the Department of Homeland Security said Sunday. Jose Medina-Medina, 25, allegedly murdered 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman early Thursday morning while she walked along the Chicago lakefront with her friends, according to a DHS release obtained by Fox News. The illegal alien was caught and released at the border under President Joe Biden’s administration in May 2023, according to the DHS. Medina-Medina was also previously released from local custody...

In Minnesota, the Somali fraudsters who have managed to have diverted to themselves billions of dollars through the state’s welfare system for services, from child care to hospice care and everything in between, never rendered, are outraged that any of the luxury goods they bought with that money should be taken away from them. When the government repo men appear, the Somalis fly into a fury. It’s amazing how much anger they manage to summon up. They feel genuinely put-upon, victimized by racists depriving them of their new possessions only because they are Somalis. Here are just five of those...

AA staffer for Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, allegedly lied about being an attorney at least 11 times for detainees at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in an effort to meet with them and sneak in cell phones. Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons informed Escobar in a letter dated Thursday about Benito Torres, a senior caseworker on the congresswoman's staff. Lyons said Torres lied about being a lawyer for detainees in ICE custody at the Camp East Montana facility at Fort Bliss in El Paso. "The available evidence demonstrates your staffer, a senior caseworker named Benito Torres, misrepresented himself...

Selections from The Camp of the Saints revisit a dystopian warning about mass migration, cultural collapse, and the West’s moral paralysis—one that many readers now see as uncomfortably prophetic. The following selections come from Ethan Rundell’s new translation of The Camp of the Saints (Vauban Books, 2025), a 1973 dystopian novel about a mass migration from the developing world to Europe that triggers political paralysis, moral collapse, and the unraveling of Western civilization, and whose warnings have lost none of their force. The first passage is from the “Big Other,” Raspail’s preface to the 2011 edition of the book. It...

The Democrats showed their true colors at Tuesday evening’s State of the Union when they failed the president’s test of allegiance to this country. They are so devoted to illegal migration that they walked straight into his trap. President Trump asked every lawmaker in the chamber to stand if they believe their primary duty is to protect American citizens rather than illegal migrants. That should have be a no-brainer. It is the essence of putting America first. But the Democrats refused to stand. “One of the great things about the State of the Union is how it gives Americans the...

it’s been a while since we had a good, old fashioned “cats with stats” around here and seems like high time we remedied that, so here is some data that happened to strike me: michael arouet, whose data and analysis i quite like, posted this yesterday: being a data-driven sort of feline, this seemed a bit of an unfair comparison to me as it pits an urban area against a whole country and as such has the potential to embed a great deal of bias. seeking to eliminate this potential objection to the data and to make a more apples...

Can we deport mayors? Apparently we can. And the more, the better. Police officers who were actually illegal aliens have been caught and prepped for deportation. The campaign manager of a California mayor turned out to be a Chinese spy. And now a Florida ex-mayor is being prepped for denaturalization and deportation after allegations of immigration fraud and bigamy. Exciting times. Federal prosecutors are seeking to revoke the U.S. citizenship of former North Miami Mayor Philippe Bien-Aime, alleging he concealed key facts about his identity and immigration history to obtain naturalization. Prosecutors allege Bien-Aime used the name “Jean Philippe...

An illegal immigrant is behind bars after police say he ambushed a woman on a popular Florida beach and attempted to drown her before leaving her for dead in a late-night attack. Said Alexander Hernandez Gonzalez, a 26-year-old Venezuelan national, was arrested on Sunday for his alleged role in the "unprovoked" attack at Tiger Shores Beach in Stuart, according to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office. "This is an extremely alarming case," Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek told WEPC. "Random acts of violence like this are some of the most difficult crimes to solve — and that’s exactly what this was."...

The bloodbath early Monday unfolded in the small town of Goshen at a property well-known to cops as a base for gang and drug activity, Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux said while announcing a $10,000 reward. At least one of the victims was a member of the Sureño gang who’d been busted days earlier for an illegal stash of drugs and high-powered weapons — but quickly released because of soft bail laws. “It is very clear that this family was a target and that there are gang associations involved as well as drug investigations,” the sheriff said a day after...

“Crisis is when brittleness meets shock. “— Yuri Bezmenov’s Ghost on X. By shutting down the government for a minimum of ten days supposedly over funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Wile E. Coyote Democratic Party is about to blow up another Acme bomb in its mangy muzzle. I will tell you why. First, this DHS business is just a stupid prank to bamboozle the public. It will not shut down ICE operations, as Chuck Schumer pretends. ICE was already funded with $75-billion in last year’s Big Beautiful Bill. The shutdown will only defund the Coast Guard...

So far, the owner of Atlantic City's former Revel casino has proposed using it as an indoor water park, a medical tourism resort, an equestrian facility, and a so-called "genius academy" where the world's top minds would tackle society's problems. Now add this to Glenn Straub's thoughts for the property: housing Syrian refugees
