A beloved bronze statue of explorer Matthew Flinders has been cut down and stolen from a Mornington Peninsula park, leaving locals furious. The bronze statue at the entrance to Mornington Park was cut off at the ankles on Monday night in an attack similar to several others carried out by far-left extremist anti-Australian vandals in Melbourne in recent years. “It is with great sadness to announce that the Matthew Flinders bronze statue in Mornington, Victoria, has been destroyed by mindless, uneducated cancel culture vandals. I can’t begin to describe how angry this makes me feel right now,” one local said...

Forty years ago this month, Congress passed the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA), a law intended as a grand bargain: legalizing millions of illegal aliens while establishing workplace enforcement to end the economic magnet that encouraged illegal immigration. Spoiler alert: the amnesty happened, the enforcement did not.

Migration Explorer The border, the map, and the money. What changed at the border after January 2025, where three decades of immigration actually settled, county by county, and which organizations were paid to resettle people – every number from federal records and public filings, linked to source. Foreign-born counts are Census and ACS estimates and include citizens and every legal status; border figures are CBP encounters. Dollar figures are documented minimums and are never added across types. Organizations are listed because a public record documents money or an affiliation – a listing alleges no wrongdoing.

A federal judge in Manhattan has largely blocked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from making arrests at immigration courthouses in New York City and across the country, ruling the Trump administration policy authorizing the arrests was invalid. The decision indefinitely extends a temporary judicial stay issued in May that mostly paused ICE arrests at the city’s immigration courthouses. It also follows a similar ruling by a federal district court in California that largely banned such arrests across the country. District Judge P. Kevin Castel said federal officials were “arbitrary and capricious” in widely permitting ICE arrests at immigration courthouses...

The government has given nearly 1,000 hijabs to migrants who crossed the Channel in small boats this year, according to reports. The Mail on Sunday claims internal government documents show officials gave 974 hijabs this year, a religious headdress some Muslim women and girls wear. The hijabs were handed out in clothing packs given to every migrant that reaches the UK via small boats over the Channel, reports suggest. The Home Office has responded by insisting it has the legal duty to provide them under the government short-term holding facility rules, first established under the Conservative government in 2018, and...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has formally filed a misconduct complaint against the Minnesota federal judges who admitted to the New York Times that they are using their power as judges to obstruct the Trump administration’s agenda. Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter told followers on X that the DOJ is targeting the judges for engaging in an “unethical partisan press tour on immigration cases.” “Judges who covet publicity undermine public confidence in the rule of law,” McCotter added. Attorney General Todd Blanche blasted the clearly biased judges, saying that the U.S. government has a right, “just like every litigant...

A US judge dismissed ​a federal case on Thursday that accused a Jamaican national of illegally voting, finding the law criminalizing noncitizen voting was unconstitutional and delivering a blow to ‌the Trump administration's campaign against alleged election fraud. The ruling by Miami-based US District Judge David Leibowitz applies only to the case of Florida resident Chelsea Cox, who was charged in October 2025 with illegally voting in the 2020 election. It is not binding for judges in other cases. It marks a setback for President Donald Trump's administration on noncitizen voting, a cornerstone of its push to highlight alleged election...

A new migrant caravan is moving north through Mexico toward the United States — and White House Border Czar Tom Homan is warning migrants not to expect the welcome that previous caravans encountered during the Biden years. Homan delivered a direct message as federal officials monitor the “Fe y Esperanza,” or “Faith and Hope,” caravan traveling through southern Mexico. Migrants who attempt to illegally enter the United States will not be released into the country, Homan said. “They’ll be immediately turned around, or they’ll be arrested and prosecuted and deported,” Homan said. The caravan began its journey from San Pedro...

“The Republican party has plenty of things wrong with it, but the other side is so crazy they’re celebrating our assassinations and sharia law.” —DC_Draino on X (Rogan O’Handley)The leaves turn and the season quickens and, in a few weeks, comes an election more dreaded than all the slavering blood beasts of Halloween.

While the UK has swapped out its previous prime minister, Keir Starmer, who failed to prosecute Muslim sex grooming gangs while heading the Crown Prosecution Service, for current PM Andy Burnham, who did little about Muslim sex grooming gangs when he was mayor of Greater Manchester, Shabana Mahmood, a Pakistani Muslim, has been heading up the UK’s security and immigration ministry. Mahmood has promised a swift crackdown on illegal migration, but don’t worry, it’s a swift crackdown on Christian and non-Muslim migrants. According to Oxford’s Migration Observatory, “the number of asylum seekers in the UK reached the highest number on...

An 18-year-old American kid is dead. Another freshman teammate is in the hospital. And the man charged with the killing should never have been here. Federal law enforcement sources tell Fox News congressional correspondent Bill Melugin that the suspect in last weekend’s fatal stabbing of a UMass Dartmouth football player is a Nigerian national who overstayed a B-2 visitor visa, was shielded from deportation by the Biden administration in 2022, and was reportedly shielded again when the Trump administration approved another deferred-action request in October 2025.
