More than 180 migrants crossed into Poland through a tunnel hidden in a forest on the border with Belarus, frontier guards said on Friday. Around 130 of them were detained in Poland after the passage was discovered on Thursday, but the rest were still on the run, the Polish Border Guard said in a statement. It released video of the tunnel dug through roots and bare earth, supported by wooden posts and metal rods and just 1.5 meters (5 feet) high – not enough for most people to pass through without crouching. European Union member Poland has been grappling with...

[Catholic Caucus] Poll: Most Catholic voters support Trump, deportations despite bishops’ concernA majority of Catholic voters in the United States have a favorable opinion of President Donald Trump and support the broad-scale deportation of immigrants who are in the country illegally, according to a poll published by EWTN News and RealClear Opinion Research on Dec. 11.The poll surveyed 1,000 self-identified Catholics from Nov. 9 through Nov. 11, nearly 10 months after Trump assumed office.

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani offered advice to illegal immigrants on how to evade ICE in a video message Sunday — calling on illegal immigrants to “stand up” to the federal agents and “know your rights.” The democratic socialist positioned himself as the mayor of “more than 3 million immigrants” as he spoke following last weekend’s ICE raid in Chinatown, which was disrupted by protesters. “Last weekend, ICE attempted to raid Canal Street and detain our immigrant neighbors,” Mamdani said in a video posted on X on Sunday. “As mayor, I’ll protect the rights of every single New Yorker. And that includes...

The Reform UK leader today condemned the scenes of balaclava-clad men who declared they were 'uniting' while chanting a series of messages in Arabic.

Many young men dressed in black, with hoods up and their faces covered, roamed the streets waving Bangladesh and Palestine flags where...

HOAX ALERT: Erin Burnett provides air cover for a “volunteer” ICE stalker, Leo Martinez, who is part of large network of people in Ventura County, CA who surveil and harass federal agents.

Stalkers like Martinez know ICE is on high alert and are intentionally provoking these types of encounters so he can run to CNN and play the victim. Martinez even ADMITS that legal counsel...

No, Catholics don’t have to be pro-mass migration: Cardinal Müller was right to refute Pope LeoWhen I studied at university in Durham, there was a visiting Dominican friar finishing his PhD. The more traditionally inclined among the Catholics who studied in that ancient cathedral city had a habit of turning to him for counsel on manifold matters. One such piece of mentorship this affable, stolid, clear-thinking and orthodox priest gave me has rung in my ears and remained relevant ever since.His words may be invaluable to Catholics in the wake of Pope Leo XIV’s enthusiastic emphasis on welcoming migrants –...

[Catholic Caucus] When “Welcome” Collides With Caesar: Dilexi Te and the Missing QuestionInvoking historical precedents from a different time and legal order to justify mass illegal immigration in the present stretches analogy beyond reason.The Apostolic Exhortation Dilexi Te limits its discussion of “migrants” to three paragraphs: 73–75. Paragraph 73 claims that “The experience of migration accompanies the history of the People of God,” citing Abraham, Moses, and the Flight into Egypt. Paragraph 74 focuses on two 19th-century Church figures involved in the care of migrants in the Americas: St. Frances Xavier Cabrini and Bishop Giovanni Battista Scalabrini. Paragraph 75 cites...

The conflict in Gaza has fuelled a near-tenfold increase in Palestinians making illegal Channel crossings to the UK, which could now be reversed by Donald Trump’s peace deal. Without any safe legal routes from Gaza to Britain, even to join family, Palestinians fleeing the Israel-Hamas conflict have opted for the perilous small boat journey. While 38 crossed in the year to June 2024, in the subsequent 12 months there were 324. Over the same period, the number of Palestinians claiming asylum in the UK more than doubled, from 327 in the year ending June 2024, to 841 in the year...
