    A 27-year-old Qatari camel herder has been found guilty on two attempted rape charges with his victim being left "frozen with fear" during the attacks. Nasser Al-Gherainiq was convicted at Southwark Crown Court following an assault that took place at a private medical facility connected to Royal Brompton Hospital in south-west London. The defendant, who had travelled to Britain for specialist heart treatment, attacked a woman by forcing her into a toilet cubicle at the medical centre. Al-Gherainiq joins a long list of foreign offenders in UK prisons, now representing nearly one-in-eight (12 per cent) prisoners in our overcrowded jails....

    DEVASTATING BLOW: Unelected Harry Reid-appointed Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough just STRUCK DOWN the DEFUNDING OF MEDICAID FOR ILLEGALS in the Big Beautiful Bill...AND defunding "gender-affirming care" under Medicaid and CHIP! No, I am not joking! A 2012 Democrat lackey is gutting the bill right before our very eyes! She says the provisions that limit federal dollars for states that give illegal aliens Medicaid benefits require 60 votes, not 50+1. She also struck out limits on Medicaid, Medicare and ACA premium tax credits for non-citizen immigrants, per Punchbowl. IGNORE THIS, OR FIRE HER, Mr. Thune ... The Senate Parliamentarian must be...
  • Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in jail as lawyers spar over potential deportation if he is released pending trial

    Washington — Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Salvadoran man who was deported back to his home country and then returned to the U.S. for federal prosecution, is set to remain in jail for several more days as lawyers debate whether the Justice Department can stop him from being deported if he is released from federal custody pending his trial on human smuggling charges, according to The Associated Press. Lawyers for Abrego Garcia and federal prosecutors met in court in Nashville on Wednesday for a hearing to discuss the conditions of his release after U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes on Sunday denied...
  • Shock Finding: Americans Will 'Do the Jobs Americans Won't Do' If You Pay Them a Fair Wage

    At base, a "fair" wage is one that will attract people to do what you need them to do. It isn't $20, $30, $40, or $1, $3, or $10 an hour. It is the wage at which people think they are better off taking than not. There is no non-artificial minimum wage, and no absolute limit to the size of the wage either. The way wages should be set is through market mechanisms. Here in the United States, we even have an implicit minimum wage on top of the ones set by law: people have an alternative called the welfare...

    The Supreme Court ruled that Trump's deportations to third-world countries can continue without limited notice, blocking an injunction by a little judge who sought to wrest immigration policy away from the executive. The high court slapped down Judge Brian Murphy’s order, but like James Boasberg, another disgrace to the bench, he’s ignoring the ruling.

    From catch and release, to ending DNA testing to prevent child trafficking, Joe Biden's immigration failures were epic. Independence Day is approaching! It's time to start planning our celebrations. We'll be cranking up the barbecue grills, waving our American flags and anticipating parades and fireworks. Critics argue that this reflected a deliberate policy shift away from deterrent-focused measures. The Biden administration suggested that the surge resulted from global migration trends, regional instability and inherited challenges, not deliberate policy choices. The facts tend to support the former. So who do we invite over to celebrate the day with us? We could...

    French police have detained 12 suspects after 145 people reported being pricked with syringes during the country’s annual street music festival, officials said on Sunday. Millions of people took to the streets across France on Saturday evening for the Fête de la Musique, with authorities reporting “unprecedented crowds” in Paris. Before the party, posts on social media had called for women to be targeted during the festivities. The interior ministry said 145 victims across the country had reported being stabbed with needles. Paris police reported 13 cases in the capital. Officials did not say if these were cases of so-called...

    ICE is vastly expanding its enforcement powers by deputizing local police officers. Many of those picked up during traffic stops have no violent criminal record.Chelsea White and her husband were driving home from cleaning office buildings one May evening when they happened upon a Tennessee Highway Patrol checkpoint. It was a situation the couple feared — and had taken precautions to avoid. White rolled down the driver’s side window on the Ford Fusion with their company’s logo. She drove because her husband, Hilario Martínez García, 46, is undocumented and cannot obtain a license in Tennessee. One of the officers looked...

    Chaos once again erupted at a New York City courthouse on Friday as ICE agents arrested an illegal alien at the Ted Weiss Federal Building.

NYC Comptroller and Mayoral candidate Brad Lander, who was arrested by ICE earlier this week for obstructing ICE agents, was also...

    Emma De Paz woke up at 2 every morning for 25 years to make soup, roasted chicken and tamales to sell to work crews picking up their day’s supplies at the Home Depot. She joined other immigrant vendors lining the side streets under tents and over grills in a makeshift community that was something of a refuge for Latino immigrants in the Hollywood area. Abelino Perez Alvarez and his wife sold orange juice, soda and water. Day laborers scrolled through their phones as they waited outside the parking lot in hopes of getting work. Around 7:30 a.m. Thursday, the refuge...

    Latino voters who supported Donald Trump in 2024 largely back his border security efforts but show clear divisions over deportation policies—providing real-world evidence of a phenomenon that's been hiding in plain sight across recent polling data.The focus group findings from Syracuse University's 2025 Deciders series involving 13 swing-state Latino Trump voters, as reported by NBC News, illustrate what happens when pollsters actually separate "border security" from "immigration policy"—two fundamentally different issues that major media outlets continue treating as interchangeable.The Numbers Tell Two Different StoriesRecent polling consistently shows Americans distinguish between stopping illegal border crossings and managing people already in the...

    Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a bitter and vocal rival of U.S. President Donald J. Trump, has been arrested in the royal family’s sweeping anti-corruption crackdown. Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz has arrested and removed a slew of corrupt and prominent officials, including dozens of princes and former ministers. Al Arabiya, a Saudi state-run news outlet, reported bin Talal was among those arrested. People’s Pundit Daily (PPD) confirmed he was one of at least 11 princes arrested. The billionaire chairman of Kingdom Holding Co. was once a business associate of President Trump. But his “America First” platform was a direct threat...
