More than 800 illegal immigrants have been rounded up and arrested by federal police from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Border Patrol during a September operation targeting Illinois and Chicago. The Department of Homeland Security announced on Wednesday afternoon that federal agents and officers deployed to the blue state as part of Operation Midway Blitz since Sept. 8 have arrested more than 800 people illegally residing in the United States. "The Trump Administration will not allow violent criminals or repeat offenders to terrorize our neighborhoods or victimize our children and innocent Americans," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin...

An asylum seeker caught messaging what he believed to be a 14-year-old girl has avoided prison after claiming 'I didn't know I was doing anything wrong'. Fahad Al Enaze, 31, from Kuwait, sent a number of sexual messages to paedophile hunters posing as an underage girl, The Sun reported. Al Enaze, who reportedly lives in a Liverpool migrant hotel, was apprehended by members of the Widnes Parents Against Predators group in September 2024.

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.

As federal immigration agents and officials continue expanded operations in Illinois, Gov. JB Pritzker brushed aside President Donald Trump’s latest threat to deploy National Guard troops into Chicago, suggesting the president may be suffering from dementia. Pritzker — a Democrat and potential 2028 presidential candidate — said Tuesday he can’t take “anything that (Trump) says seriously” and said he thinks Trump is “losing it” following another threat of a military deployment. “I think he might be suffering from some dementia,” Pritzker said during a press availability in Oak Park. “The next day he’ll wake up on the other side of...

Andre Vasquez’s office in West Ridge on Sunday night, CPD said. “Move the illegals and the Rats out of the 40th Ward!” read the note, which was found on the window of the alderperson’s office, at 5620 N. Western Ave. “They are both Vermin! Support ICE! Their work will get illegals out of our country and lower our taxes.”

More than 100,000 anti-immigration protesters marched in London Saturday at a rally organised by far-right figure Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, popularly known as Tommy Robinson. Police made 25 arrests after some of the attendees clashed with law enforcement officers, leaving more than two dozen injured. As many as 150,000 protesters marched through central London on Saturday for a demonstration organised by the anti-immigrant and anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson. The rally was met by a smaller "Stand Up to Racism", following a highly charged summer in Britain that has seen protests over immigration and free speech. Police estimated that 110,000 and 150,000 people...

BOSTON (AP) — A federal appeals court ruled Friday that the Trump administration can end legal protections for around 430,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. The ruling by a three-judge panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is the latest twist in a legal fight over Biden-era policies that created new and expanded pathways for people to live in the United States, generally for two years with work authorization. The Trump administration announced in March it was ending the humanitarian parole protections. “We recognize the risks of irreparable harm persuasively laid out in the district court’s...

Mr President, thank you. Dear leftists, you have been attacking President Trump for years. Now you are whining about tariffs. You are not happy that he doesn't want to be your private bodyguard. But it's not Trump's decision to spend money on illegal migrants instead of the army or industry. It's not Trump's fault that you restricted European industry because of your green god and because of your sick ideology. It's not his fault! It's time to be a man. It's time to take care of yourself. It's time to stop wearing dresses and be a man. Put on armour,...

I spoke with the mom of one of the girls (Mayah) and got the entire story that the media is covering up and lying about. So first of all, the reporting got the names of the girls mixed up. There were 3 girls who were there who were accosted and attacked by the migrants. Lola - Lola is the hero from the video. She's the one with the axe defending her sister from the migrant attackers Ruby - Lola's older sister who was attacked and hospitalized Mayah - Ruby's best friend who was with them and went to call the...

Two groups peacefully gathered in Bristol city centre earlier to voice opposing views on immigration. About 100 anti-immigration protesters turned up to a planned demonstration outside the Mercure Bristol Brigstow Hotel, which is housing asylum seekers, and near Bristol Bridge on Saturday afternoon. A group of about 300 to 400 counter-protesters had arrived beforehand in support of the asylum seekers, surrounding the hotel. Police kept the two groups apart for about 90 minutes until the anti-immigration protesters walked away. Officers had been given enhanced powers which allow them to ask people to remove face coverings. They have put in place...

Uganda also expressed a preference that those brought into the country should be nationals of African countries and not be unaccompanied minors. Uganda has agreed a deal with the United States to take in deported migrants on condition that the deportees don’t have criminal records and aren't unaccompanied minors, officials said on Thursday. The Ugandan foreign affairs ministry in a statement said the "two parties are working out the detailed modalities on how the agreement shall be implemented." Uganda also expressed a preference that those brought into the country should be nationals of African countries.

Across the Western world, governments have opened the floodgates to mass third-world immigration. It is questionable whether such policies have been popular anywhere, and it is hard to identify a country where citizens have ever voted for them. Thus, unrest has been inevitable. The international political class has usually responded to popular discontent over immigration by shutting down speech and criminalizing dissent. Meanwhile, a number of European countries are rapidly becoming unrecognizable. Why this crazed dedication to an unpopular and likely suicidal policy? I wish I knew. Yesterday, there were massive protests across the United Kingdom against the Uniparty’s immigration...

Today marks the first anniversary of the slaughter at Southport - at one of those summer-resort activities you sign your kids up for, with nary a thought. In this case, it was a Taylor Swift dance-class, from which three little girls never came home: Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine years old; Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven; and Bebe King six. As Lucy Connolly could tell us if she weren't rotting in Starmer's Lubyanka, nothing is more traumatising than the death of a child. So we remember Alice, Elsie and Bebe even as Britain's "mainstream" media has chosen mostly to memory-hole them,...

Woken by police to be told that his car had been damaged, Ufuoma Odoh wasn’t prepared for the scene that confronted him. The Volvo XC40, parked on the street around the corner from his London flat, was missing its rear windscreen – smashed by a television hurled out of the window of a nearby hotel room. In the past, such loutish antics were the preserve of rich, drug-addled rock stars. Today, it’s just part of the day-to-day reality of living alongside one of the many hotels now given over to asylum seekers.

Protesters are set to march from The Bell Hotel in Epping to the council's offices as councillors are set to discuss the controversial hotel. There has been a series of demonstrations outside the Bell Hotel in Epping since an asylum seeker was charged with sexual assault this month. Epping Forest District Council will meet for a pre-planned meeting in which they are set to discuss a motion calling for the immediate and permanent closure of the Bell Hotel and Phoenix Hotel, which was subjected to an alleged arson incident. Both hotels have housed asylum seekers and been involved in incidents...

Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul has once again joined a coalition of other attorneys general in suing the Trump administration over new rules that could bar immigrants without legal status from health and education programs. The suit, announced Monday, seeks to stop a series of orders from federal agencies that would block people from the early childhood education program Head Start, Title X family planning, adult education, mental health care and community health centers based on immigration status.

It was in Victorian times that the public were first given the right to enter and enjoy large green spaces for free as urban areas quickly grew in size. But while they have always been intended as pleasant spaces for the benefit of all, some parks are becoming hotspots for crimes from rape to murder and robbery. Knife attacks, thefts and sexual assaults have also been reported alongside a trend of anti-social behaviour that police and councils are trying to fight back against.

A once-quiet Spanish town explodes in unrest after an elderly man is brutally beaten by North African migrants—yet instead of protecting its citizens, the government cracks down on those who dare to speak out, proving that in modern Europe, defending your homeland is the only crime that matters. Murcia, Spain — Torre Pacheco, a small town in Spain’s Murcia region, erupted into chaos this weekend after a brutal and unprovoked attack on a 68-year-old Spanish man by a group of alleged North African migrants. What began as community outrage has now exploded into full-blown unrest, riots, injuries, and arrests, while...

2.1 million people live in Gaza, and a new judicial ruling in France gives every single one of them the right to move to France. If I were Bibi Netanyahu, I would buy every single one of them a plane ticket and wave goodbye as they took their free trip to Paris. If I were a Gazan, I would accept that free ticket and get on the first plane, hoping that the free room and board will allow me to enjoy my time there.
