Leftist Groups in Florida Promise to Take to the Streets ‘In Solidarity With Los Angeles’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Leftist groups in Florida are promising to take to the streets “in solidarity with Los Angeles,” where rioters have been burning the American flag, waving the Mexican flag, targeting officers, destroying police vehicles, looting, and more, in protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations resulting in the arrest of illegal aliens with convictions for murder, sexual battery, and more.

A post shared in a collaboration among Occupy Florida, 50501 Florida, Resistance Support, the Florida Valkryies, and Voices of Florida previews plans for a “RAPID RESPONSE PROTEST” in front of Tampa City Hall on Monday afternoon in support of the L.A. Mexican flag rioters on the West Coast.

“We are taking to the streets in solidarity with Los Angeles and communities across the country to say: NO MORE ICE RAIDS. NOT IN FLORIDA. NOT ANYWHERE,” the description of the post reads.

“Families are being torn apart. Homes raided. Communities terrorized. We will not stay silent while ICE targets immigrants with cruelty and impunity,” the post continues, noting that their movement is “rooted in nonviolence.”

“We expect law enforcement to be present. We cannot guarantee anyone’s personal safety or the security of property. We also cannot guarantee that arrests will not occur. Protesters are committed to non-violence — but we cannot predict how police may respond,” organizers said, preemptively placing the blame on police.

Pete Hegseth Drops Hammer on Betty McCollum After Trying to Corner Him — She Quickly Changes Subject

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave Democrat Minnesota Rep. Betty McCollum a history lesson on Tuesday in regard to how her party handled the riots of 2020 as she criticized President Donald Trump.

McCollum criticized Trump’s “premature and escalatory” decision to deploy the National Guard and U.S. Marines in light of the Los Angeles, California, riots that broke out over Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) arrests of illegal immigrant criminals during the House Appropriations Committee hearing. The congresswoman attempted to contrast Trump’s handling to Democrat Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s response to the 2020 riots; Hegseth reminded her of the chaos that occurred in Minnesota under Walz’s leadership during that time.

“Governor Walz made the decision to call up the Minnesota National Guard [in 2020],” McCollum said. “At no point did we need, of the citizens of Minnesota, to request that the Marines be deployed. Our state and local law enforcement, along with our National Guard, who have worked on crowd control, they were more than enough. They were more than capable of handling this situation. History has proven that law enforcement and the National Guard are more than capable of handling situations more volatile than what happened this weekend.”

In response, Hegseth told the congresswoman that Walz allowed violence to prevail in his state and for the Minneapolis Police Department’s Third Precinct building to be “abandoned” and “burned to the ground.”

Chinese Illegal Alien Admits To Buying Gun Store So He Could Ship Weapons To North Korea

/0 Comments/in , /by

Officials said Monday that a Chinese national and alleged illegal alien in California purchased a Texas gun store in a plot to ship firearms to North Korea.

Forty-two-years-old Shenghua Wen resided in Ontario, California, and was taken into custody in December 2024, the U.S. Attorney’s Office (USAO) for the Central District of California stated in a press release.

Wen pleaded guilty to “illegally exporting firearms, ammunition and other military items to North Korea by concealing them inside shipping containers,” according to the USAO. He admitted to one count of conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and one count of acting as an illegal agent of a foreign government, the press release said.

Wen is a citizen of the People’s Republic of China and entered the U.S. in 2012 on a student visa, the USAO said. However, he allegedly stayed in the U.S. illegally after his visa expired in December of 2013, according to a plea agreement obtained by the USAO.

Wen was accused of meeting with North Korean officials before entering the U.S. at a North Korean Embassy in China, and these government officials directed Wen to obtain goods on behalf of North Korea, per the press release.

DOJ Employee Charged With Capital Murder After Spiking Pregnant Girlfriend’s Coffee With Abortion Pills: Sheriff

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A United States Department of Justice employee secretly spiked his pregnant girlfriend’s drink with an abortion drug to induce a miscarriage without her knowledge, according to cops.

Justin Anthony Banta, 38, who works in the IT department of the DOJ, is charged with capital murder in Parker County, Texas, for allegedly putting “Plan C” abortion drugs in his pregnant girlfriend’s coffee, the sheriff’s office said in a statement.

The couple found out about the pregnancy in September 2024, with the unidentified woman refusing the DOJ employee’s offer to terminate the pregnancy with “Plan C” pills he would purchase online, the statement said.

Banta’s girlfriend was happily six-weeks pregnant when she had a sonogram on October 17 that revealed a strong heartbeat and good vital signs, the Parker County Sheriff’s Office revealed.

Later that same day she met the IT specialist at a coffee shop — quickly suspecting that Banta had spiked her drink with the “Plan C” abortion-inducing pills without her consent.

Authorities Believe They Spotted Ex-Soldier Travis Decker, Who Is Wanted in Deaths of 3 Daughters

/0 Comments/in , /by

Authorities say they believe they spotted Travis Decker, an ex-soldier wanted in the deaths of his three daughters, near a remote alpine lake in Washington state, after receiving a tip from hikers who said they saw a lone person who appeared to be ill-prepared for the conditions.

The Chelan County Sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post Tuesday that tracking teams responded immediately, and a helicopter crew spotted a hiker near Colchuk Lake, in a popular Cascade Range backpacking area called The Enchantments.

The off-trail hiker ran from sight as the helicopter passed, the sheriff’s office said. Teams later found a trail, and K-9 teams tracked the person to the area of the Ingalls Creek Trailhead, south of Leavenworth.

Authorities did not say when they spotted the subject, but late Monday night they issued an alert for residents in the Ingalls Creek and the Valleyhi community to lock homes and vehicles and to be on the lookout for Decker.

Decker, 32, has been the target of a large manhunt ever since June 2, when a sheriff’s deputy found his truck and the bodies of his three daughters — 9-year-old Paityn Decker, 8-year-old Evelyn Decker and 5-year-old Olivia Decker — at a campground outside Leavenworth.

ICE Arrests in LA Include Illegal Aliens Convicted of Murder; Sex Offenders; Other Violent Criminals

/2 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests of illegal immigrants as part of the operation in Los Angeles include individuals with heavy criminal histories, which include murder and sexual assault.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) highlighted the reality of the criminal illegal aliens they are going after in Los Angeles while Mexican flag riots break out in protest of ICE’s actions.

Describing these as some of the “worst” criminals they went after, the Department of Homeland Security provided pictures and a description for some of the illegals arrested in their operations.

One of those individuals is an illegal alien named Lionel Sanchez-Laguna, hailing from Mexico. According to DHS, his lengthy criminal history includes “discharging a firearm at an inhabited dwelling and vehicle in Orange, CA with a sentence of 365 days in jail, battery on spouse or cohabitant in Orange, CA with a sentence of four years of probation, willful cruelty to child in Orange, CA with a sentence of four years of probation, driving under the influence in Orange, CA with a sentence of ten days in jail, assault with semi-automatic firearm in Orange, CA with a sentence of three years in prison, and personal use of a firearm in Orange, CA with a sentence of three years in prison.”

Armando Ordaz is another illegal immigrant, 44, arrested from Mexico. His criminal history includes sexual battery in Los Angeles — where the rioters are protesting such arrests — as well as petty theft and receiving known or stolen property.

Watch As LA Rioter Is Introduced To Pavement By Homeland Security

By Daily Caller. Fox News showed Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) personnel taking down a rioter in Los Angeles Monday night as riots continued in the wake of a raid by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

President Donald Trump ordered the National Guard to deploy Saturday as riots continued in Los Angeles following a raid by ICE at a Los Angeles-area Home Depot. Fox News reporter Bill Melugin provided commentary as the takedown aired live on a special edition of “Fox News at Night.”

“It appears to be California National Guard. Ooh, they are taking somebody down right now. I don’t know who those guys are, what they did. Is that California National? If it says ERO on their back, that would be ICE. That stands for Enforcement and Removal Operation,” Melugin told “Fox News at Night” host Trace Gallagher. “I can’t tell. It’s some sort of law enforcement, and they clearly did not like what the guy in the yellow was doing right there because they ran right at him, and they took him down. So we will ask, and we will see if we can find out what that guy did. It looks like he was loitering near a vehicle.”

Trump Reveals the Major Holdup in Iran Nuclear Deal

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump disclosed Monday that Iran is pushing hard for the right to continue enriching uranium in any new nuclear deal — which the US “can’t have.”

“They’re just asking for things that you can’t do,” Trump, 78, told reporters at the White House.

“They don’t want to give up what they have to give up. You know what that is? They seek enrichment. We can’t have enrichment. We want just the opposite. And so far, they’re not there.”

The president said US officials would meet again with their Iranian counterparts later this week — but indicated that an agreement was not close.

“I hate to say that, because the alternative is a very, very dire one, but they’re not there,” he said. “They have given us their thoughts on the deal, and I said, you know, it’s just not acceptable.”

Trump has expressed hope that Washington and Tehran can reach a new agreement to replace the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA), from which the 45th president removed the US in 2018. (Read more from “Trump Reveals the Major Holdup in Iran Nuclear Deal” HERE)

Elon Musk Flexes SpaceX Advantage in Feud With Trump: ‘We Have Got the Spaceships and They Do Not’ — Gets Support From This Republican

/0 Comments/in , /by

SpaceX and Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk flexed the company’s rockets amid a war of words with President Donald Trump on Sunday.

What Happened: On Sunday, Musk took to X, formerly Twitter and said, “Whatever happens, we have got the spaceships, and they do not.”

Notably, Musk’s comments came after the tech mogul conducted a poll on X, where he asked his over 220 million followers about forming a new political party in the U.S. An overwhelming 80.4% responded in favor.

Responding to Musk’s post, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) replied, “I don’t know if I’m part of ‘we’ but I would like to formally disassociate myself from the group herein referred to as ‘they.'”

Musk quickly said, “You’re definitely not ‘they’ and are welcome to be part of ‘we’,” to which Massie responded with, “Count me in.”

Gavin Newsom: California Suing Trump for ‘Illegal’ Deployment of National Guard

/0 Comments/in , /by

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced his plans to sue the Trump administration for “illegally act[ing] to federalize the National Guard” to contain the Los Angeles anti-deportation riots, accusing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of being “in over his head.”

When asked by left-wing YouTuber Brian Taylor Cohen if he has any “confidence” that Hegseth will be as “principled” as former Defense Secretary Mark Esper was on Monday, Newsom coldly responded, “Pete Hegseth is a joke. He’s a joke. Everybody knows it, so in over his head. What an embarrassment.” . . .

He went on to say that Trump’s deployment of the National Guard, prompted by the ongoing violent protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials that sparked last week, “is a preview of things to come” to other cities.

“This is not about LA, per se. This is about us today, it’s about you and everyone watching tomorrow,” Newsom argued. “I promise you. I mean, this guy is unhinged. Donald Trump is unhinged right now.” . . .

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed Saturday that President Donald Trump had signed a Presidential Memorandum that deployed 2,000 National Guardsmen “to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester”:

RFK Jr. Guts CDC Vaccine Panel, ‘Retiring’ All 17 Members

/0 Comments/in , /by

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced on Monday that he’s gutting the panel that advises on vaccination safety and efficacy, arguing that it’s another step toward restoring public trust.

Kennedy, whose department has already made several moves to shake up vaccination research and recommendations, said he’s “retiring” all 17 members of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices, known as ACIP.

“Today, we are taking a bold step in restoring public trust by totally reconstituting the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP),” RFK said in an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal. “We are retiring the 17 current members of the committee, some of whom were last-minute appointees of the Biden administration.”

Kennedy said he had to remove these panel members or the Trump administration wouldn’t be able to appoint a majority of new members until 2028.

RFK Jr. suggested the panel effectively works as a rubber-stamp and is plagued with conflicts of interest. (Read more from “RFK Jr. Guts CDC Vaccine Panel, ‘Retiring’ All 17 Members” HERE)
