Border Czar Warns of Bloodshed If Democrats Remain Silent

President Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, has warned of further violence, stating that “bloodshed” will continue unless Democrats cease their criticism of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This warning follows the fatal shootings of two immigrant men by ICE agents, which the Trump administration is attributing to Democratic leaders educating immigrants on their rights. Officials, including Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, claim a significant rise in vehicle attacks against federal agents and have blamed Democrats for encouraging defiance of ICE. Despite a temporary pause on traffic stops initiated by Mullin after the shootings, President Trump overturned the order, emphasizing the importance of traffic stops as a crime-fighting tool.

Collins Held Accountable for ICE Killing Funding

Democratic Senate candidate Troy Jackson has criticized Senator Susan Collins following the fatal shooting of a 26-year-old Colombian man by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Biddeford, Maine. Jackson, who advocates for abolishing ICE, stated that Collins’ vote to send billions to the agency without reforms makes her accountable for what he described as “terror.” Critics, including other Democratic candidates, have joined Jackson in calling for Collins to be held responsible for funding ICE, especially after this incident and a similar death in Texas. While Senator Collins has called for a thorough investigation, critics argue that a single phone call to cease non-urgent vehicle stops is insufficient given her past funding votes.

New ICE Boss, Same Old Lies: Fatal Shooting Proves Mullin Is Noem 2.0

Mullin’s tenure has been marked by a focus on cosmetic changes, deflecting attention from ongoing mass deportations and concerning incidents like a fatal shooting in Houston. This incident, where ICE agents allegedly shot a man they were not pursuing, highlights the agency’s continued reliance on questionable narratives and a pattern of preemptive cover-ups. Experts warn that this persistent refusal to address substantive issues within ICE allows for the perpetuation of dangerous practices, with ICE shootings on pace to outnumber previous years.

ICE Deports Sick Priest Despite Ugandan Safety Threats

It’s truly disheartening to learn about the plight of a Colorado priest, who, after twenty-five years of dedicated community service, now faces deportation by ICE. This situation starkly reminds us that immigration cases are far from mere bureaucratic processes; they are deeply intertwined with people’s lives, their families, and the communities they have helped to build.

The focus on deporting individuals like this priest, who has demonstrably contributed to society, raises serious questions about ICE’s priorities.… Continue reading

Stephen Miller Demands Unanimous SCOTUS Ruling Against Birthright Citizenship

Stephen Miller, a key figure in the Trump administration’s immigration policies, has urged the Supreme Court to issue a unanimous decision overturning birthright citizenship, arguing that anything less would signify a non-functioning democracy. He contends that the 14th Amendment, originally intended to enfranchise formerly enslaved people, was not meant to grant automatic citizenship to the children of immigrants. Miller emphasized that a country allowing individuals to gain citizenship simply by setting foot on U.S. soil and having a child would diminish the sanctity of citizenship itself, posing a threat to the nation’s future. The Supreme Court has heard arguments on this matter, with President Trump also attending some proceedings.
