We have another video masterpiece of peace and urban harmony from Chicago, otherwise known as America’s largest open-air shooting gallery. While Mayor Brandon Johnson continues to rail against ICE agents rounding up criminal illegals in his dystopian city, four gang members opened up on a rival’s car shortly after noon just across town from hizzoner. While the shooters only perforated their intended target in the butt-tocks, they did successfully kill the man’s girlfriend with their fusillade of lead. Thankfully and miraculously, the bangers with the blasters somehow missed the toddler in the back seat. Gabryel Ayers, 26, was driving the...

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani just signed a defiant executive order to ban ICE from city property. Invoking the Quran and calling federal enforcement an "abuse of power," Mamdani is drawing a line in the sand against the Trump administration.

"GO ICE," the teacher at West Chicago’s Gary Elementary School, posted on Facebook last week. Shortly after the post was made, activists in the predominantly Hispanic community quickly began sharing the post and calling for action to be taken against the teacher, who Fox News Digital is not naming due to safety concerns. -snip Activists began circulating a flyer online, with a Change.org petition, calling for the employee's job and for students to stay home from school in protest, saying, "the casual way in which he publicly promoted the actions of ICE in our area is inappropriate and unsuitable for...

On local Twin Cities radio this morning a representative of an unnamed business said the liberal upheaval in the state is causing some businesses to rethink expansion in Minnesota. The individual, who did not want to be identified, said businesses and industry are seeing job recruitment as more challenging due to sanctuary city policies and unruly protests. Red states are more attractive.

After three hours of parsing American case law, for once I share Donald Trump’s exasperation. See, many a naif, including yours truly three hours ago, would have thought the Democrats’ “sanctuary cities” unconstitutional. A sanctuary city instructs its local police force to cease all co-operation with federal immigration agents. The constitution’s supremacy clause dictates that federal law overrules local law, just as rock crushes scissors in the hand game. For subjurisdictions to offer refuge from big meanie federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (the aptly cold-hearted sounding ICE) should not, legally, be possible.It’s possible. The work-around is the 10th Amendment’s “anti-commandeering...

Rhode Island officials held another press conference on Wednesday as the manhunt for the Brown University shooter dragged into its fifth day – but it didn’t end well. Two students were killed and nine others critically injured after a gunman opened fire at Brown University on Saturday afternoon. Brown University President Christina Hall Paxson confirmed that there are 1,200 cameras on campus and all data has been turned over to law enforcement. However, after five days, the public has only seen a few videos from the surrounding area of Brown University. Law enforcement on Tuesday released a new timeline and...

Leftists walk a fine line, making pronouncements that are valid in the narrowest technical sense but effectively seditious. An obvious example is the Seditious Six calling for military personnel not to obey “illegal” orders, while refusing to clarify what they mean by that. True enough, no one should obey orders that are clearly illegal. But the obvious message is that servicemembers should not obey orders that leftists wouldn’t like. Otherwise, they might be punished once Democrats take power. Brian O’Hara, Minneapolis police chief under the ultramoonbat Jacob Frey, provides another example by advising citizens to call 911 on ICE agents...

“Woodburn suspended its Flock license plate reader system for at least 60 days after residents raised concerns about federal immigration enforcement access. The City of Woodburn is committed to keeping our community safe while respecting the concerns of our community members," Mayor Frank Lonergan said. "Based on community input, pausing the Flock camera system is a prudent step."

In-state tuition for illegals, Mask Ban for Federal Officers, Sanctuary cities The Department of Justice has filed multiple lawsuits against California, challenging its sanctuary state policies, which allegedly obstruct federal law enforcement, as well as immigration enforcement. The DOJ says the aim of these lawsuits is to hold California accountable for laws that the DOJ claims discriminate against U.S. citizens and undermine federal law. In February California Governor Gavin Newsom defiantly signed legislation authorizing a $50 million legal slush fund to “Trump-proof” the state against the President – $50 million that the state doesn’t have so State Attorney General Rob...

... The officer was on his way back to Fullerton after transporting an inmate to the Orange County Jail, police said. ... In video from the scene, the man is dressed in plainclothes, with a badge on his belt. He approaches the car while holding his gun near his chest, pointing it at the woman’s vehicle. He and the woman, recording from inside her vehicle, exchange words as he approaches. “You can’t be following us like that,” the agent says at one point. “I live here,” the woman responds. He told the police officer the woman in the vehicle behind...

A suburban Chicago cop was taken into custody by ICE agents this month, and the arrest has blown open a political fight over sanctuary policies, hiring standards, and who gets to wear a badge in Illinois. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says Radule Bojovic, a sworn officer with the Hanover Park Police Department, is a citizen of Montenegro who overstayed a tourist visa and remained in the country unlawfully for roughly a decade. He was encountered during a targeted sweep under Operation Midway Blitz, the new Department of Homeland Security campaign focused on the Chicago area. The operation has already...

Pritzker said that Texas National Guard troops should, ‘stay the hell out of Illinois.’Fully embracing anarchy, Democrat leaders in Chicago, a sanctuary city; and in Illinois, a sanctuary state, are using every possible method to thwart federal immigration authorities from removing illegal aliens and curtailing rampant crime there.Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson issued an executive order Monday creating an ICE Free Zone, preventing ICE from using city property, such as parking lots, as staging areas, or for enforcement actions. City agencies are directed to use physical barriers like locked gates to limit access to city property, and report to the mayor...

While President Donald Trump has stopped short of sending National Guard troops into Chicago, the Department of Homeland Security is doing some major damage against illegal aliens being harbored in the area. DHS law enforcement has made OVER 900 ARRESTS during Operation Midway Blitz in Illinois.To every criminal illegal alien: Darkness is no longer your ally. We will find you. pic.twitter.com/m9PxbuK5Ua— Homeland Security (@DHSgov) October 2, 2025The work has been dangerous for Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, who have been under siege by local activists and criminal aliens.

Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson says he's received no communication about the presence of U-S Border Patrol teams in the Chicago River downtown, but says it's part of a continued pattern by the White House. Border Patrol chief Michael Banks has shared the images on social media of a brace of Customs and Border Protection boats moving past the Trump International Hotel on the Chicago River. "Do not know what they're up to," Mayor Johnson told reporters after the Chicago City Council meeting wrapped up last night. "The federal government is not communicating with me or our police department -- and...

A North Carolina city has approved a measure declaring itself a "Fourth Amendment Workplace" and boosting protections for illegal immigrant workers targeted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The Durham City Council passed the resolution on Tuesday with a unanimous vote to shield city workers against raids and arrests carried out by federal officials, according to The Duke Chronicle. The Fourth Amendment protects citizens against unreasonable searches and arrests, and requires warrants with probable cause of a crime before seizing a person or property. The resolution instructs city staff to "uphold the 4th amendment at their workplace and city...

It appears that many of Boston's officers are quietly rebelling against the anti-ICE stance taken by Boston Mayor Michelle Wu's (D) administration. According to acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, Boston cops are secretly providing critical information to federal immigration officials to help arrest criminal illegal aliens—a bold move that flies in the face of the sanctuary city policies pushed by Wu and other extremist Democrat mayors across the country. For years, Boston, under Wu’s leadership, has been one of the loudest advocates of the sanctuary city movement. Her administration has consistently refused to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, shielding illegal...

Far-left Democratic Mayor Michelle Wu of Boston said yesterday that her city would not cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in deporting illegals, and that the Blue City would remain a sanctuary for illegals. Wu falsely claimed at a news conference that the Trump administration is “attacking our cities.” In response to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s warning that sanctuary cities must drop their policies or face federal legal action, Wu said the city would do no such thing. Wu now risks prosecution under several federal statutes, including those dealing with harboring illegals and interfering with the enforcement of...

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday issued an order wiping out Washington, D.C, police policies that protected illegal immigrants, and she named a temporary leader for the district’s Metropolitan Police Department.

Border czar Tom Homan on Wednesday said that President Donald Trump’s federal takeover of Washington, D.C., means that the city can no longer enforce its sanctuary status. Homan said on “The Story with Martha MacCallum” that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is working “hand-in-hand” with the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), which has been federally taken over, to arrest and deport any illegal immigrant criminal in Washington. The border czar promised that any illegal immigrant who commits a crime will not be protected under any sanctuary law. “I think D.C., under federal control, is not gonna be a sanctuary city. We’re...
