Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Thursday that 146 illegal immigrant drivers have been arrested by authorities, including drivers of semi trucks. Illegal immigrant semi truck drivers have made headlines in recent months after causing crashes that have resulted in deaths on the nation’s highways. Noem said, "233 illegal aliens have been arrested and taken off our roads. Of those, 146 of them were drivers. That includes 46 semi-truck drivers and 82 of them that were either box trucks, buses, moving vans, vehicles such as that." The arrests came as part of a partnership with Indiana State...

SICK. Democrat Senator Dick Durbin compares ICE to Japanese internment camps. DURBIN: "There's only one parallel in history...the internment of 120,000 Japanese Americans during WWII."

A French court on Friday sentenced an Algerian woman to life imprisonment without parole for raping, torturing and murdering a girl in Paris, making her the first woman to receive this maximum sentence. Dahbia Benkired was handed an “irreducible life sentence” for killing 12-year-old Lola Daviet in the French capital in 2022, in a case that horrified the country and sparked anti-immigration fervour because the woman did not have the right to be in France. The sentence is the harshest under the French penal code. “We believed in justice and we got it,” said Lola’s mother, Delphine Daviet, following the...

Vladimir Putin’s wartime economy has been resilient in the face of Western sanctions triggered by his invasion of Ukraine, but it’s hitting a wall and U.S. pressure on the energy sector could cause a recession, according to experts. Massive defense spending has propped up growth, kept factories humming, and pushed unemployment lower, while Moscow has relied on allies like China for goods no longer available from the West. “But the country has exhausted its reserves of manufacturing capacity and manpower,” Alexandra Prokopenko, a fellow at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center and former Russian central bank advisor, wrote in Foreign Affairs...

France is backing away from a recent commitment to intervene more forcefully at sea to stop small boats from crossing the English Channel, according to multiple sources contacted by the BBC. There is evidence that France's current political turmoil is partly to blame, but it will come as a blow to the UK government's attempts to tackle the issue. In the meantime, dangerously overcrowded inflatable boats continue to leave the coast on an almost daily basis, from a shallow tidal canal near the port of Dunkirk. While the man in charge of border security in the UK, Martin Hewitt, has...

The man suspected of being under the influence when he crashed his tractor-trailer into a crowd of vehicles on the 10 Freeway Tuesday afternoon has been identified as a 21-year-old resident of Yuba City.

The UK’s border chief has expressed frustration that the French authorities have not been able to roll out tactics to puncture and disable boats carrying asylum seekers in shallow waters. Martin Hewitt, the border security commander at the Home Office, told MPs that rapid changes in government in France had been a “political backdrop” to introducing a tactic seen as crucial to countering “taxi boats” being used to smuggle people to the UK. Appearing before the Commons’ home affairs select committee, Hewitt said it was “frustrating” that the French authorities had not been able to roll out more interventionist tactics...

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...

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...

More than 500 migrants crossed the Channel in just one day, taking this year's total to over 36,000 in a humiliating blow to Labour's 'one in, one out' policy. Around 1,659 migrants in 23 boats arrived on British shores in the past three days, Home Office figures say. And, on Wednesday alone, over a thousand people made the perilous journey across the English Channel. Now, a total of 58,718 migrants have entered the UK by boat since Labour took office, with 36,060 making the crossing so far this year. It comes as the Government's 'one in, one out' scheme was...

Illegal crossings along the US-Mexico border plummeted to a 55-year low in fiscal year 2025 – with the vast majority of unlawful attempts to enter the country taking place during the final months of the Biden administration. Federal authorities apprehended a total of 237,565 migrants along the southwest border during the period between Oct. 1, 2024 and Sept. 30, 2025, according to data released Tuesday by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Pope Leo XIV continues to make thinly veiled jibes against the Trump administration’s stance against illegal immigration.Speaking in front of thousands of pilgrims at St. Peter’s Square on Sunday, Leo warned that migrants must not be treated with “the coldness of indifference or the stigma of discrimination.”Without singling out any country in particular, Leo said that Catholics should “open our arms and hearts to them, welcoming them as brothers and sisters, and being for them a presence of consolation and hope.”Leo explained that the church was living through a “new missionary age” that tasked its members with providing “hospitality and...

Russian forces occupied Bucha, on the outskirts of Kyiv, for just under a month. Across those 29 days in early 2022, they committed acts of such barbarity that this Ukrainian town will forever be synonymous with war crimes; this conflict’s Srebrenica. Residents were killed and tortured in their hundreds; more than 100 were buried in a mass grave outside the Orthodox Christian church. Others were murdered as they fled. The basement of a children’s summer camp was converted into a torture chamber where women and children were systematically raped. Soldiers slashed throats, mutilated victims and killed parents in front of...

The crossing surpasses a record set in August when 106 people attempted the journey in one boat.

It comes after another migrant died trying to cross the Channel, with a body found on Sunday morning on a beach near Boulogne-sur-Mer in northern France, according to the AFP news agency....

A Taliban commander’s nephew granted refugee status in Britain can ​be joined by seven family members currently living in Turkey, an immigration judge has ruled. None of them speak English, and a tribunal accepted they would place 'a significant burden upon the public purse' if they were allowed to move to the UK. But the relatives - the man's parents, three sisters, a niece and nephew - have 'no options' and are unable to return to Afghanistan, a judgement said.
