Chicago aldermen are once again warning downtown residents and workers to be prepared for potential chaos ahead of this weekend’s Mexican Independence Day, a holiday that has increasingly turned into an unsanctioned takeover of the Loop and surrounding areas by car caravans. The warnings come as city officials brace for another year of traffic jams, fireworks, and noisy celebrations that have tested police and exasperated locals. CPD arrested 69 people during last year’s four-day weekend, including at least 19 for illegal gun possession. Aldermen Brian Hopkins (2nd) and Brendan Reilly (42nd), who represent much of the downtown area, have issued...

(Reuters) - An extraordinary spat is occurring within the U.S. judiciary concerning a flurry of Supreme Court decisions backing President Donald Trump, with judges voicing confusion over the rulings issued on an emergency basis while a Trump-appointed justice accused some of them of defying the nation's top judicial body. These decisions have let the Trump administration implement contentious policies that were impeded by judges who had cast doubt on the legality of the Republican president's actions. In issuing such opinions, the Supreme Court has offered little or no reasoning for its actions. That has caused exasperation among some of the...

Voters across the nation are now marching shelter to shelter, demanding they be emptied as police work overtime to arrest those peacefully demonstrating in the UK. More show notes: People in the UK have woken up, taken notes from us, President Trump and are ready to throw out illegals.

The Trump administration is suing migrants with removal orders and issuing fines of up to $1.8 million to pressure them into self-deporting, immigration attorneys tell ABC News. In recent months, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has revived a rarely enforced 1996 law, using it to issue fines to migrants with deportation orders as part of the administration's aggressive immigration crackdown. ICE said it had issued more than 10,000 fines. The fines include between $100 and $500 for each unlawful entry or attempted entry, and up to $998 per day, assessed for up to five years, for failing to comply with a...

Britain’s first female Muslim Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood had a rough start on Saturday, with over 1,000 illegal migrants arriving after crossing the English Channel from France on her first day in office. Mahmood, a former pro-Palestinian activist whose Pakistani parents migrated to England from Mirpur in the disputed Kashmir region, was tasked by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on Friday to run the Home Office, the cabinet department tasked with controlling immigration and protecting Britain’s borders. It came amid the forced Downing Street reshuffle sparked by the scandal-induced resignation of former Deputy PM Angela Rayner over the socialist politician’s...

Leaders of the MAGA movement have a new warning: Don’t let America become like Britain. That was the howling conclusion at a conference of MAGA-aligned policymakers and think tanks this week in Washington, where elite voices, many with close ties to President Donald Trump, painted a dystopian, misleading and anti-Muslim picture of England as a bastion for dangerous immigrants. Stephen K. Bannon, Trump’s former chief of staff who continues to be an influential adviser, decried the “threat of Islamism in the U.K.,” positioning Britain as a cautionary tale of how mass migration could affect the United States. Others called the...

England supporters could be heard targeting prime minister Keir Starmer with abusive chants as Thomas Tuchel's side faced Andorra on Sunday. With Coldplay playing a concert at Wembley this weekend, England faced the European minnows in a World Cup qualifier at Aston Villa's Villa Park.

Prior to kick-off vendors outside the ground vendors could be seen selling Union Jack flags emblazoned with 'stop the boats', in reference...

End Wokeness @EndWokeness BREAKING: Shabana Mahmood named as UK Home Secretary, in charge of borders, police, immigration

“When I think about the trip today, I wouldn’t do it again – it was so dangerous. What I remember is that many people died, they drowned … there were too many people on that boat.” Anas Modamani, who as a teenager fled Syria’s brutal civil war for the safety of Europe in 2015, is one of many who ended up in Germany, where he still lives and now holds a passport. Sitting in a Syrian cafe in Neukölln, a culturally diverse district of the German capital, Modamani is smiling and well-groomed. He works in IT and in his own...

A new report reveals that more than 14,000 migrants who had hoped to cross into the United States have turned back and reversed course due to the Trump administration's hardline border enforcement policies. The new phenomenon, referred to as "reverse flow" migration, has mainly impacted migrants fleeing the economic and political turmoil in Venezuela and who had been moving north through Central America toward the U.S. Since 2017, around 8 million people have fled the political crisis in Venezuela. The report, published by the governments of Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica with the support of the U.N. High Commissioner for...

A local prosecutor said an investigation was in its early stages and that the motive of the assailant was not yet known. A man who went on a stabbing rampage in the southern French city of Marseille injured at least five people before he was shot dead by police, authorities said. Local prosecutor Nicolas Bessone said that the attack was carried out on Tuesday afternoon by a Tunisian national with legal residency status. Bessone said that the suspect had been expelled from his hotel for not paying his rent. He returned armed with two knives and a baton, first attacking...

Migrants who cross the Channel in small boats could be moved to warehouses as Labour scrambles to close asylum hotels, the Home Secretary suggested today. Yvette Cooper said the Government was looking at 'military and industrial sites' as 'more appropriate' places to house asylum seekers. She added that warehouses were 'one of the things that's been looked at' in her attempts to cut the bill to taxpayers from housing small boat arrivals in hotels. It came ahead of Sir Keir Starmer holding an emergency meeting this afternoon on Government action to go 'further and faster' in tackling Channel migrant crossings....

I had no idea things were this bad in Japan, it looks like Dublin on a Friday afternoon.

It’s tomato season and Lidia is harvesting on farms in California’s Central Valley. She is also anxious. Attention from U.S. Immigration Control and Enforcement could upend her life more than 23 years after she illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border as a teenager. “The worry is they’ll pull you over when you’re driving and ask for your papers,” said Lidia, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition that only her first name be used because of her fears of deportation. “We need to work. We need to feed our families and pay our rent.” As parades and other events celebrating...

Many U.S. beaches face Labor Day swim advisories due to unsafe fecal bacteria levels, posing health risks like illness, rashes, and nausea for swimmers.Thousands of Americans will head to beaches for one last summer splash this Labor Day weekend, but taking a dip might be out of the question: Many of the beaches will caution against swimming because of unsafe levels of fecal contamination. Beaches from Crystal River, Florida, to Ogunquit, Maine, have been under advisories warning about water quality this week because of elevated levels of bacteria associated with fecal waste. The advisories typically discourage beachgoers from going in...

Tommy Robinson speaks to Jesse Kelly about the viral video of a Scottish girl being prosecuted for brandishing a knife to defend herself in a park, and the tension boiling over in response to mass immigration to the U.K. "On the 13th of September, we’re expecting a million people to descend from every corner of Britain onto our capital to send a message to the world that we are remaining silent no longer," he said. "The country’s bubbling, it’s brewing for revolution. It’s happening. The cat’s out of the bag. They can’t put it back in." "They used to have...

Britain has the highest population of illegal migrants in Europe, according to the latest available estimates - as it lags behind European neighbours in its efforts to tackle the problem. Nigel Farage yesterday vowed to deport as many as 600,000 people if he wins power after detaining them in 'large-scale raids' - an echo of the crackdown by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement under Donald Trump. Meanwhile, on the Continent, countries like Sweden, Denmark and Germany are cracking down on migration by making it far harder to claim asylum, with notable results. The latest statistics on the number of...

in keeping with this week’s theme of immigration, power, and trust, let’s peruse the latest outrage reel from the UK. here we have a grown man with an immigrant accent (sounds pakistani or thereabouts to me but i could be wrong) following two young girls and badgering and filming them. one of the girls is armed. she’s not (at the start) threatening or seeking to threaten anyone, she’s trying to get away, trying to leave. but this guy is having none of it. he keeps coming and will not leave her alone. and he wants this documented and will not...
