Fox News correspondent Christina Coleman discusses an apparent attack on ICE agents in San Francisco amid President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown on ‘Fox Report.’

WASHINGTON — A mob of rioters ambushed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in San Francisco, with one knife-wielding, keffiyeh-clad agitator threatening to “stab” one of the feds and “go after” his family, according to a criminal complaint filed Thursday. Adrian Guerrero was charged with assaulting an officer and destruction of property over the alleged Wednesday attack on ICE officers in the Enforcement Removal Operations division, federal prosecutors said. “I’m going to f--- you up,” Guerrero seethed while allegedly wielding a black knife and wearing what appeared to be a black-and-white checkered keffiyeh headscarf and orange-tinted goggles, according to photos in...

Do we really want a nationwide federal police force accountable solely to a small number of legislators, not subject to FOIA and other citizen protections applicable to the executive branch? The Acting Chief of the U.S. Capitol Police has recently announced the expansion of their federal force into Florida and California. Two new field offices will be opening in Tampa and San Francisco, due to claims from Acting Chief Yogananda Pittman that the number of threats against sitting Congressmen has doubled in the last year.

The Capitol Police couldn’t even defend their own building, nor could they defend Pelosi’s San Francisco home from an illegal alien hammer man, but somehow, they have now established national offices to monitor U.S. citizens outside their jurisdiction? Now they want more money and authority. Are you kidding me? This week, House Republicans crafted the annual appropriations bill funding the legislative branch of government, typically the smallest and least controversial of the 12 annual spending bills. However, in that bill they plan to provide $780.9 million to the U.S. Capitol police, which is $46.3 million more than enacted fiscal year...

The U.S. Capitol Police on Tuesday announced that the agency was opening regional field offices in California and Florida to investigate threats to members of Congress in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Threats against members of Congress have increased in recent years. As of Tuesday, total threats so far in 2021 were double what they were at this point a year ago, according to Capitol Police. Home to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco), House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield) and other prominent members of Congress, California gives the law enforcement agency a Western base...

EXCLUSIVE: Despite the US saying we are not accepting Palestinian “refugees” into the United States under the Trump administration, I have obtained video footage of Palestinians who claim to be refugees from Gaza coming into the United States via San Francisco and Houston, Texas this month. The Palestinians traveled from Gaza to the US with the help of a group called “Heal Palestine”.

COVID-19 levels are up 32% percent from a month ago just as schools across the Bay Area are about to start for the fall semester.

President Obama on Thursday nominated a former CIA officer and longtime lawyer who examined missteps in U.S. intelligence to be the spy agency’s next inspector general, hoping to fill a position at the watchdog office that’s been vacant for more than a year. If confirmed by the Senate, Shirley Woodward would fill the role left empty since David Buckley stepped down from in January 2015, on the heels of a landmark determination that CIA officials had gained unauthorized access to Senate computer files. Lawmakers called the episode a potential violation of constitutional separation of powers, and the spat led to...

A courageous cyclist was stabbed to death by a crazed man at a San Francisco train stop after he stepped in to protect a mother and her kids who were being harassed. Colden Kimber, 28, was fatally jabbed in the neck with a six-inch blade on July 26 while waiting at a Muni stop in the Ingleside neighborhood with his girlfriend.

The ex-girlfriend of the Delta pilot who was arrested on child abuse charges after landing his flight in San Francisco on Saturday has also been charged in the case–with the child victim being her own daughter. ... After landing at San Francisco International on a flight from Minneapolis Saturday night, 34-year-old Rustom Bhagwagar from Florida was dramatically arrested on the plane–while shocked passengers pulled out their cellphones to record–by Contra Costa Sheriff’s detectives aided by Homeland Security agents. He was initially charged with five counts of sexual abuse of a child under 10. ... The Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office...

When labor leader David Huerta was arrested last month during a high-profile anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protest in Los Angeles, Democrats rushed to denounce his detention.

I didn’t expect the highlight of my Tuesday night would be watching an actor portraying Luigi Mangione sing a ballad about hash browns, followed by a tap dance number featuring his cellmates Sean Combs and Sam Bankman-Fried (who happen to be falling in love). The plot is totally outrageous, but as “Luigi: the Musical” goes on, it becomes cathartic to sit in the warm haze of the Independent with over a hundred strangers and laugh, groan and marvel at the spectacle American life has become.

Last month, the Department of the Navy officially renamed the USNS Harvey Milk—a much-needed course correction that finally put an end to the disgraceful decision to honor a known sexual predator.“This is not about political activists, unlike the previous administration. Instead, we’re renaming the ship after a United States Navy Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, as it should be,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth explained. “People wanna be proud of the ship they’re sailing in, and so we’re renaming it after a chief, a Navy chief.”The Navy has renamed the ship the USNS Oscar V. Peterson in honor of Chief Watertender...

A food influencer tried to shame and bully a 113 year-old mom and pop oyster house over a pro-Trump hat propped on the restaurant's shelf - but sound found herself blasted over her performative woke antics. California-based creator Kat Ensign shared a snap of a MAGA cap she saw while waiting to order at Swan Oyster Depot. 'Spotted at swan after waiting in a long a** line,' Ensign, who goes by @katfoodsf on Instagram, wrote on a photo of an American flag baseball cap with '45 47' on the front. These two numbers have become popular symbols among conservatives, as...

A picture of what appears to be a MAGA-type hat behind the counter of a beloved San Francisco foodie spot that was a favorite of Anthony Bourdain has erupted into a major online flap. The hat in question, a red, white, and blue stars and stripes adorned cap with the numbers “45” and “47” on it was snapped behind the counter at Swan’s Oyster Depot by food influencer, Kat Ensign, known as @katfoodsf on Instagram. “Spotted at swan after waiting in a long a** line,” Ensign wrote on the photo. “Swan Oyster Depot -> absolutely not,” she added in a...

A confrontation erupted outside the San Francisco Immigration Court this week, as video shared by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) captured a tense altercation between agents and protesters. The clash, which took place Tuesday, is the latest in a growing series of confrontations with federal immigration officers. According to ICE, assaults on immigration agents have surged nearly 700% compared to last year. Footage posted by the agency on X shows masked protesters scuffling with ICE agents wielding batons. "Get back, get back," agents are heard repeatedly telling protesters. "Shame on you, shame on you," protesters are heard yelling, amid...

Video provided to KTVU by observers on the scene showed protesters, many in masks, getting into a scuffle with ICE agents, also wearing masks, about 11 a.m. on Montgomery Street.

State Senator Scott Wiener, a progressive representing San Francisco who is likely too radical for most moderate Democrats, has decided to run for a seat in the US House of Representatives. This could be a gift to President Donald Trump. He was already handed a halfway-to-Christmas present when self-described democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor, helping the chief executive frame the opposition as dangerous fringe radicals. Now, Wiener’s announcement will probably help the president solidify his argument and seal the deal. On June 27, Wiener filed paperwork to run for Congress in 2028,...
