SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and President Trump are scheduled to take place on Tuesday in most major cities across the country. The well-organized campaign at “SICKOFICE.ORG” urges people to call out sick in solidarity with illegal aliens facing deportation. Much like the “No Kings” protests held in June to denounce the Trump administration’s efforts to conduct mass deportations of illegal aliens, Tuesday’s protests are being supported by the same activist organizations. The Party for Socialism and Liberation is actively promoting the “Sick of ICE” events nationwide on social media. The website associated with...

Another protest, another flag. You’re not the only one who’s noticed that the Democrat Party's protesters are waving a different country’s flag at each new protest. Even Iranian flags are starting to show up.

The idea that Iran’s hostility toward Israel is driven by a “land dispute” is a gross oversimplification. Iran has no border with Israel, so the conflict has nothing to do with territorial claims. Instead, Iran’s animosity toward Israel is rooted in a deep ideological and religious hatred, one that spills over into its relationships with Palestinians. The issue isn’t about land—it’s about religious and ethnic bigotry. Iran’s obsession with destroying Israel and its treatment of Palestinians is more about an anti-Western, anti-Semitic agenda than any genuine desire to improve the lives of Arab Palestinians. Iran’s own behavior toward its Arab...

A Salvadoran journalist with a large social media following for covering immigration raids may soon face deportation. Mario Guevara is facing possible deportation after being arrested at a protest in Georgia over the weekend and subsequently transferred to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody. Guevara was detained during a “No Kings” protest in Doraville, just northeast of Atlanta, where he was livestreaming the demonstration. He was released without bail by a judge; however, ICE authorities requested that he remain detained because of his immigration status, according to a report by CNN. Guevara entered the United States on a tourist...

White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung blasted the leftist “No Kings” protests that took place on Saturday across the nation, saying they had poor attendance while President Donald Trump celebrated the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary in Washington, DC, with a parade, music, and fireworks. The anti-Trump protests were planned to coincide with the patriotic celebration that was held on Flag Day and the president’s birthday, as Breitbart News reported.

An 81-year-old man in Philadelphia decided to leave his senior citizen home and march in the "No Kings" protests occurring across the country against the Trump administration's immigration policies. NBC News' Erin McLaughlin reports.

'Our political leaders have to take responsibility for the fact that they have pushed a lot of normal people to the brink.' Patrick Christys says illegal immigration has created a 'powder keg' in the UK as protests erupt in Northern Ireland.

Per the deal, Murphy, DFL-St. Paul, was to cast a vote in support of the bill, despite her adamant opposition to repealing the law that went into effect just a few months ago on Jan. 1. “I struck a deal. I gave my word, but I do not support this proposal,” Murphy said in her own floor speech, as she appeared to hold back tears welling in her eyes. Earlier in the day, the House passed the bill on a party-line vote, with the exception of House DFL Leader Melissa Hortman, who also agreed to vote for the proposal. Neither...

Early Tuesday evening, as National Guard troops faced off against protesters and rioters on the streets of Los Angeles, powerful teachers’ union president Randi Weingarten hosted a virtual town hall with Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear.and two leading political operatives in Democratic Party politics, Leah Greenberg, founder of a political nonprofit, Indivisible, and Rev. Al Sharpton, founder of another political nonprofit, National Action Network. Greenberg hailed an upcoming wave of protests this Saturday — set to sweep through even "really red areas of the country," marked with mostly Republican voters — as a stand against President Donald Trump. But what...

We are on the brink of something we have never seen before in modern American history–more than 1,800 (and counting) simultaneous political protests scheduled to erupt across the country on the very same day. This is not just another angry weekend. This is not just another round of “peaceful protests” spiraling into looting and lawlessness. No, this is coordinated, funded, and staged chaos being unleashed like a match dropped on a national powder keg. They’re calling it the “No Kings” protest, and it’s being billed as a “nationwide day of defiance.”

“Just … follow the money.” – Deep Throat, All the President’s MenThat used to be the watchword for investigative journalists. If you want to uncover corruption, find out where the money is coming from and where it is going. At least it used to be.Today? Not so much. At least not when doing so could implicate Democrats or upset the left’s agenda.Case in point is the Los Angeles riots. There’s plenty of reason to believe that the riots are being organized and financed by unsavory characters whose mission is to foment division and violence in the United States.Some of the...

MADISON, Wis. — The Madison Police Department is connecting with protest organizers to ensure peaceful demonstrations this weekend. "It's a very open and fluid conversation just to make sure that we have all the details ironed out," said Acting Madison Police Chief John Patterson. Saturday is being called "Day of Defiance" as people in several states host "No Kings" rallies to protest ICE raids along with President Donald Trump's polices. Acting Chief Patterson says the department has been working alongside organizers for days. "We've been in touch with the event organizer on Saturday. There's been great application and back and...

Radical leftist agitators are planning a series of coordinated demonstrations across New Mexico on June 14, targeting President Donald Trump with what they’re branding as “No Kings” protests. But what organizers portray as “peaceful protests” have all the hallmarks of the kind of far-left mob activity that has already sparked violent insurrections in places like Los Angeles, where criminal aliens and anarchists recently clashed with federal law enforcement officers. The so-called “50501 Movement”—standing for 50 protests, 50 states, one movement—has aligned with fringe progressive groups to launch what they claim is a “nationwide day of defiance” against Trump’s leadership, coinciding...

NoKings.org activist organizing is planning nationwide anti-Amercan (anti-Trump) "protests" on June 14, the U.S. Army birthday national celebration. See their partners page. They have many far-left sponsors including teachers and labor unions, democrats, climate change believers, Bernie Sanders, LGBTXYZ groups, etc. Most likely many of these sponsor groups receive public funds.

If Mexico wants to dictate our immigration policy to us, let’s follow their example to the letter. That example is particularly relevant on this further day of protests demanding amnesty for illegals. Among the demonstrators in at least 60 cities nationwide will undoubtedly be thousands of border lawbreakers. What would Mexico do? The answer is easy: deport them on the spot. In 2002, a dozen American college students, in Mexico legally, participated peacefully in an environmental protest against a planned airport outside of Mexico City. They swiftly found themselves deported as law-breakers for interfering in Mexico’s internal affairs.

One of the groups leading anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles is a taxpayer-funded activist organization with ties to the Democratic Party, while another has links to the Chinese Communist Party. The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) — which received tens of millions of dollars in government grants during the Biden administration — staged a rally last week to denounce Immigration and Customs Enforcement arresting illegal migrants across the city, including those convicted of heinous crimes. Protests against ICE escalated since then, with more than 1,000 rioters taking to the streets, assaulting immigration officers, slashing tires and defacing public buildings,...

Representative Nanette Barragán (D-CA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that President Donald Trump was “targeting peaceful protests” by sending the National Guard to Los Angeles. Host Dana Bash said, “Let’s start with the fact that the president ordered National Guard troops to respond in LA County within the next 24 hours. What have you heard about the situation on the ground? What updates are you getting?” Barragán said, “Well, I’ve spoken to the sheriffs on the ground who have said they have things under control. There is no need for the National Guard. They have the manpower...

A federal judge in Boston on Thursday issued a preliminary injunction to block the Trump administration’s directive to strip Harvard University of its ability to admit international students. Judge Allison Burroughs issued the ruling from the bench after an emergency hearing on the administration’s move, which upended the lives of the 27 percent of Harvard’s student body that is made up of foreign students. “I want to maintain the status quo,” Burroughs said from the bench, according to CNN. Harvard quickly sued the administration last week after the directive was given by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which also...
