Biden’s Open Border Presidency Turbocharged Iranian Threats To U.S. Soil

/0 Comments/in , /by

Since the U.S. bombing of several Iranian nuclear sites, federal officials have sounded the alarm about potential retaliatory terror attacks on U.S. soil. Thanks to former President Joe Biden’s “Let everyone in!” immigration policies, those worries are very much legitimate.

On Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealed it detained 11 Iranian nationals over a 48-hour period. According to the agency, several of these individuals entered the United States under the Biden administration and have committed serious crimes.

This list of arrestees includes Ribvar Karimi, whom Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained on Sunday in Locust, Alabama. Per DHS, “Karimi reportedly served as an Iranian Army sniper from 2018 to 2021 and at the time of his arrest, in his possession, he had an Islamic Republic of Iran Army identification card.”

According to the agency, Karimi “entered the U.S. on a K-1 visa, which is reserved for aliens engaged to be married to American citizens, in October 2024 under the Biden administration,” but “never adjusted his status — a legal requirement — and is removable from the United States.”

Another Iranian national detained by ICE is Mehran Makari Saheli. The DHS press release noted that the 56-year-old is “convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm in Minneapolis, where he was sentenced to 15 months in prison,” and “is a former member of… the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) with admitted connections to Hezbollah.”

“An immigration judge ordered [Saheli] removed June 28, 2022, under the Biden administration, but he illegally remained in the U.S.,” according to the agency. ICE detained five more Iranian nationals on Monday, adding to the initial batch of arrests announced earlier Tuesday morning, Fox News reported.

Every Church Needs A Security Plan Fortified By The Second Amendment

/0 Comments/in , /by

A shooting at a Michigan church on Sunday makes the somber and compelling case for why every single house of worship in America should take steps to protect itself against the inevitable threats of violence against Christians.

Brian Anthony Browning, later identified as the son of a CrossPointe Community Church parishoner, allegedly armed himself with a tactical vest and two guns before driving his vehicle into the Wayne, Michigan, house of worship and opening fire on the building’s exterior.

His attempted rampage, captured on a service livestream, threatened pews filled with approximately 150 worshippers — many were children present for the Vacation Bible School-themed service. While a security guard sustained a non-life-threatening gun wound, no lives except for the shooter’s own were lost thanks to the preparedness of the church and its members.

As Browning tried to breach the church building with his weapons in tow, he was promptly mowed down by a CrossPointe deacon driving a Ford F-150. The member was reportedly running late for the service and took action when he noticed the commotion. Two of the church’s armed members finished the job by shooting at Browning, which ultimately killed him.

The deacon’s quick thinking, the carrying members’ aim, and CrossPointe’s overall preparedness for a scary situation like a shooting saved more than 100 lives. Wayne Police Chief Ryan Strong confirmed as much in a press conference on Sunday. (Read more from “Every Church Needs A Security Plan Fortified By The Second Amendment” HERE)

Trump Lashes Out at Israel and Iran Amid Accusations of Ceasefire Violations

/0 Comments/in , /by

Trump, in more comments made to reporters ahead of the NATO summit in The Hague, said he was “not happy” that Israel fired fresh rockets at Iran.

“These guys got to calm down. Ridiculous,” Trump said.

The president said that he didn’t like “plenty of things” he saw, including “the fact that Israel went out this morning at all.”

“I’m not happy with Iran either, but I’m really unhappy if Israel’s going out this morning,” he added.

Earlier, Trump in a strongly-worded post on Truth Social urged Israel to refrain from striking Iran. “ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!” he wrote.

Nearly 150 music festival goers were allegedly stabbed with syringes Saturday in France while attending the “Fête de la Musique” music festival, according to a local report.

Paris police arrested 12 suspects after 145 people claimed they were pricked with needles during an annual festival, according to France24 News.

Prosecutors said investigations were launched in Paris, France, after three people, including a 15-year-old girl and an 18-year-old male, “reported being stabbed in three different locations,” according to the outlet.

All three reported feeling unwell, the outlet said.

More than 370 other people were detained at the festival on various other charges, France24 reported. (Read more from “REPORT: Over 100 People Allegedly Stabbed With Syringes At Music Festival” HERE)

Biden Judge Ignores Supreme Court Deportation Ruling

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge blocked deportations for eight migrants Monday night in what the Trump administration called a “lawless act of defiance” of the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration earlier on Monday to move forward with quickly deporting illegal migrants to countries not specified in their removal orders. The ruling pausing an injunction issued by Judge Brian Murphy, a Biden appointee, which required the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to give migrants notice and allow them to raise concerns about potential threats of torture before deporting them to a “third country.”

However, Murphy issued an order Monday night blocking immediate removal of eight migrants currently held at a U.S. naval base in Djibouti to South Sudan.

Murphy wrote that an earlier May 21 order issued after finding the administration violated his preliminary injunction was still in effect, citing Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s dissenting opinion.

Sotomayor suggested Murphy’s “remedial orders are not properly before this Court because the Government has not appealed them, nor sought a stay pending a forthcoming appeal.” (Read more from “Biden Judge Ignores Supreme Court Deportation Ruling” HERE)

‘Go Ahead and Try Impeaching Me Again — Make My Day!’ Trump Mocks ‘Stupid’ AOC, ‘Low IQ’ Crockett

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump mocked far leftist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and others — including “seriously low IQ” Democrat darling Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) — for wanting to impeach him, daring them to “MAKE MY DAY.”

In a lengthy Truth Social post Tuesday morning, Trump addressed Ocasio-Cortez’s recent call to impeach him over the successful airstrikes on Iran.

“The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote over the weekend. “He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Trump shot back, deeming Ocasio-Cortez one of the “dumbest” people in Congress and noting that Democrats have already tried to impeach him twice before, to no avail.

“Stupid AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the ‘dumbest’ people in Congress, is now calling for my Impeachment, despite the fact that the Crooked and Corrupt Democrats have already done that twice before,” Trump began, noting that the Democrat is complaining because of recent U.S. victories.

Poll: Majority Say It Should Be ‘Illegal’ for Americans to Prevent ICE From Doing Its Job

/0 Comments/in , /by

A majority believe it should be “illegal” for Americans to prevent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from doing its job, a recent survey from the Economist/YouGov found.

The survey asked respondents, “Do you think it should be legal or illegal for Americans to attempt to prevent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from doing its job?”

Across the board, most, 52 percent, believe it should be illegal for Americans to attempt to prevent ICE from doing its job. Another 24 percent said they believe it should be legal, and 24 percent remain unsure.

Notably, a plurality of Democrats, 41 percent, believe it should be legal for Americans to attempt to prevent ICE from doing its job in detaining and deporting criminal illegal aliens. Another 33 percent remain unsure, but just over a quarter, 26 percent, believe it should be illegal.

Most Republicans, 80 percent, believe it should be illegal for Americans to prevent ICE from doing its job, and a plurality of independents, 47 percent, agree. Only 22 percent of independents said it should be legal — a sentiment held by just ten percent of Republicans.

Experts Gauge Success of ‘Bunker Buster’ Bombs Dropped by U.S. on Iran Nuclear Sites

/0 Comments/in , /by

While President Donald Trump has asserted that the military’s weekend strike against Iran “completely and totally obliterated” its nuclear weapon-making capabilities, there are still questions about whether the ground-penetrating “bunker buster” bombs used to attack Iran’s key enrichment sites were enough to stop the rogue country from developing a nuclear bomb.

A report released last week by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) explains that the special “bunker buster” bombs the U.S. used in Iran over the weekend that everyone is talking about, known as GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators, or MOPs, might not be able to fully destroy the Iranian nuclear facility at Fordow. Fordow, which Trump said was “gone” now following the strike, is considered central to Iran’s nuclear weapon-making capabilities.

Meanwhile, a satellite imagery expert relayed to Reuters that confirmation of below-ground destruction could not be determined via pictures alone, because the facility’s hundreds of centrifuges are too deeply buried in order to make an accurate determination.

“I actually have a little bit of a rosier view on things,” Andrea Stricker, Deputy Director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies’ Nonproliferation and Biodefense Program, told Fox News Digital. “I think that because of the massive damage and the shock wave that would have been sent by 12 Massive Ordnance Penetrators at the Fordow site, that it likely would render its centrifuges damaged or inoperable.”

Stricker noted that centrifuges are “very delicate” and the kind of shock wave coming from the MOPs would at least put them “out of commission.” She also said if any centrifuges did survive the blasts, it would be likely that they would be inaccessible by Iranian authorities for several months.

Trump Heads to NATO Summit Demanding ‘Freeloading’ Allies Pay Their Fair Share

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump departed for the annual NATO summit at The Hague on Tuesday, hoping to claim another major foreign policy victory as most NATO allies have already agreed to his demand to boost defense spending after the president called out the European nations for “freeloading” and taking advantage of American military protection.

NATO countries, except Spain, agreed in preliminary talks to increase defense spending to 5% of their gross domestic product, a significant increase from the previous 2% target that many allies struggled to meet.

The spending commitment is divided into two parts: 3.5% for traditional military spending, such as air defense and recruitment, while the remaining 1.5% can include infrastructure like roads and bridges that troops could use.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has resisted the spending increase, arguing that it would strain the country’s extensive welfare state.

“We fully respect the legitimate desire of other countries to increase their defence investment, but we are not going to do it,” Sanchez said. In 2024, Spain’s defense expenditure as a share of GDP stood at a measly 1.28%, the lowest of any NATO country.

On Iranian Terrorist Sleeper Cell Threat, Noem Vows to ‘Go After Them Before They Do Anything’

/1 Comment/in , /by

By The Federalist. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem sought Monday to reassure the American people that the Trump administration is actively working to protect the homeland following the U.S. attack on Iranian nuclear sites.

“We are continuing to evaluate every single threat and to proactively go after them before they do anything or take any activity,” Noem told The Daily Signal, when asked about the threat of Iranian terrorist sleeper cells in the U.S.

Following the U.S. targeted attack on three Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday, the Trump administration has warned that the threat of the activation of terrorist sleeper cells in the U.S. has never been higher.

While the threat level is high, it is not new, Noem told reporters at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new facility at the Customs and Border Protection’s Advanced Training Center in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, on Monday.

“We have incredible threats to this country from many nations that are enemies to the United States of America,” Noem told press. “You know, it’s not just Iran, it’s North Korea, Russia, China, consistently every single day are trying to threaten our way of life. So, my job is to do all that I can to protect our country before something bad does happen.”

The U.S. struck Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites over the weekend, dropping more than a dozen bunker-buster bombs from B-2 bombers. The bunker-buster bomb is America’s largest nonnuclear bomb. The U.S. also launched Tomahawk cruise missiles from a submarine, striking Iranian nuclear targets.

AG Bondi reveals ‘high alert’ status as Iranian nationals roam free in US

By Fox News. Attorney General Pam Bondi was questioned Monday during a House budget hearing about Iranian nationals who entered the country illegally during the Biden administration after the Trump administration warned the conflict with Iran raised threat levels in the United States.

Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, asked if the attorney general knew how many Iranian nationals in the United States have been convicted of crimes. Bondi said she was unsure, but that more than 1,000 entered the country during the last administration.

“And I can tell you, we are on high alert, and everyone is looking at that very closely,” Bondi said.

U.S. Border Patrol arrested 1,504 Iranians at the southern border during President Joe Biden’s term, and nearly half of them, or 729, were released into the United States, according to a senior Customs and Border Protection source.

Bondi’s remarks echo those of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which issued a notice one day prior saying that the Iran conflict “is causing a heightened threat environment in the United States.” The DHS cited the possibility of extremists in the United States “independently mobilizing to violence” if Iranian leaders were to call for it. The department also said cyberattacks and incidents of antisemitism could increase. (Read more from “AG Bondi reveals ‘high alert’ status as Iranian nationals roam free in US” HERE)
