As ICE Arrests Increase, Illegal Aliens Are Fighting Back

Federal officers are pursuing illegal immigrants, and the illegal immigrants are increasingly fighting back, according to court documents and officials who describe a surge in assaults on law enforcement.

Experts said the violence is driven at least in part by immigrant advocates who deliver know-your-rights briefings that seem to encourage defiance.

“It’s deliberately intended to fuel that,” Matthew J. O’Brien, a former immigration judge, told The Washington Times.

In California, a Russian migrant has been charged with chomping on the hand of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer hard enough to break his finger. In New York, an illegal immigrant from Nicaragua stands accused of roughing up U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who tried to arrest him at a jail.

In Denver, city authorities released Abraham Gonzalez into a jail parking lot, where he took on a half-dozen ICE officers, congressional Republicans said. (Read more from “As ICE Arrests Increase, Illegal Aliens Are Fighting Back” HERE)

Trump Slams ‘Communist’ Persecution Of Conservatives While Speaking At DOJ

The Department of Justice was persecuting Donald Trump with sham trials just last year. But today, now-President Trump spoke at the DOJ, calling out the “communist” federal persecution of conservatives.

“They tried to turn America into a corrupt communist and Third World country, but in the end, the thugs failed and the truth won. Freedom won, justice won, democracy won, and above all, the American people won,” Trump said. “There could be no more heinous betrayal of American values than to use the law to terrorize the innocent and reward the wicked.”

A “corrupt group of hacks and radicals” in the federal government “weaponized the vast powers of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies to try and thwart the will of the American people,” Trump stated. He acknowledged the “lies and abuses that have occurred within these walls” at the DOJ.

Federal agents “target[ed] patriotic parents at school board meeting” as domestic terrorists, treated traditional Catholics similarly, let supporters of Antifa and Hamas walk free, and jailed “elderly Christians and pro-life activists,” Trump noted. Meanwhile, federal officials “imported illegal alien murderers, drug dealers and child predators from all over the world.”

“Our predecessors turned this Department of Justice into the Department of Injustice,” Trump stated. “But I stand before you today to declare that those days are over and they are never going to come back.” (Read more from “Trump Slams ‘Communist’ Persecution Of Conservatives While Speaking At DOJ” HERE)

Trump Declares Biden’s Pardons of January 6 Committee ‘Void, Vacant’ Due to Autopen

President Donald Trump said former President Joe Biden’s preemptive pardons for members of the January 6 Committee are “void, vacant, and of no further force or effect,” citing the pardons having been given via an autopen.

“The ‘Pardons’ that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen,” President Trump said in a Sunday night Truth Social post.

“In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them!” Trump continued. “The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime.”

The 45th and 47th president went on to say members of that House committee are therefore “subject to investigation at the highest level.”

“Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level,” the president proclaimed.

Tucker Carlson Says Dems Are Led By ‘Losers And Freaks’ As Party Flounders In Wilderness

Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson told Daily Caller editorial director Vince Coglianese Monday that the Democrat Party is currently led by “losers and freaks” as its popularity rapidly declines.

The Democrat Party’s current favorability rating stands at just 29%, the lowest it has been since 1992, a CNN/SSRS poll found Sunday. Carlson said the party’s current leadership is completely unlikeable and out of touch with the American public.

“I look at her and I say, I would hire her for a show, actually. The rest of them, and I think she’s a deranged person, but the rest of them are just like, such losers and freaks,” Carlson said. “Like that weird guy [Tim Walz] they put up as [vice presidential candidate], that guy? Like you would never allow him anywhere near your own children. Like, he’s just so obviously a dark freak that guy. You can just smell it on him. Everyone’s like ‘oh, Trump is so weird. That girl [Stormy Daniels] … and everyone’s trying to make Trump into some kind of weirdo. But you see him and he’s not a weirdo. He’s pretty transparent. That Tim Walz guy, he was like the perfect distillation.”

When respondents were asked to name a Democrat leader they feel “best reflects the core values” of the party, over 30% didn’t name a lawmaker in response, according to the CNN/SSRS poll. Of those who did name a leader, 10% named New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, while 9% chose former Vice President Kamala Harris and 8% said Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Carlson said the Democrats need to shift away from supporting transgender ideology and abortion in order to receive support among the American public. (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Says Dems Are Led By ‘Losers And Freaks’ As Party Flounders In Wilderness” HERE)

Trump, Putin Expected to Speak This Week About Ukraine Cease-Fire Push, White House Envoy Says

President Trump is likely to speak to Russian President Vladimir Putin on the phone this week as the U.S. push to end the Russia-Ukraine war accelerates, U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff said Sunday.

Mr. Witkoff, who met with Mr. Putin in Moscow last week, told CNN’s “State of the Union” that the U.S. is in communication with all sides, including Russia, Ukraine and other European powers, about a potential cease-fire deal.

Mr. Witkoff said the U.S. and Russia have gotten closer in their positions in recent days, despite Mr. Putin’s reluctance to embrace the 30-day cease-fire agreed to by the U.S. and Ukraine after high-level delegations from those two nations met in Saudi Arabia last week.

“The two sides are today a lot closer,” Mr. Witkoff said, referring to the U.S. and Russia. “The two sides, we’ve narrowed the differences between them and now we’re sitting at the table.”

“I think President Trump is involved in every aspect and dimension of these discussions,” he said. “The president is getting updates in real time on everything that’s happening and he’s involved in every important decision here.” (Read more from “Trump, Putin Expected to Speak This Week About Ukraine Cease-Fire Push, White House Envoy Says” HERE)

Trump Ties for Highest Approval He’s Ever Had — As More Americans Say U.S. Is on Right Track Than Any Time in 20 Years: Poll

Three months into his second term, President Trump hit the highest approval rating he’s ever had as commander-in-chief — while more Americans say the country is on the right track than at any point since 2004, a new poll found.

That’s the good news, according to an NBC News Poll released Sunday.

The bad news is that Trump still has not won over a majority of Americans, and 54% said they disapprove of his handling of the economy — the first time he’s lost a majority on that issue in NBC’s poll.

Even so, the survey found that voters generally feel Trump is bringing “the right kind of change” on the key issues — even tariffs.

More Americans support his changes to trade policy (41%) than oppose it (38%), according to NBC. (Read more from “Trump Ties for Highest Approval He’s Ever Had — As More Americans Say U.S. Is on Right Track Than Any Time in 20 Years: Poll” HERE)

Houthis Post Message Involving American Flag Draped Coffins After Trump Launches Strike In Yemen

The Houthi rebels in Yemen have posted a cryptic video featuring American flag-draped coffins in response to President Donald Trump’s “decisive and powerful” airstrikes against the terrorist group on Saturday.

The video opens with an animated coffin draped in the American flag drifting on the ocean’s surface. As mournful music plays in the background, the camera gradually zooms out, revealing a haunting scene of numerous other flag-draped coffins floating away from wrecked Navy vessels.

This follows Trump’s authorization of a “powerful” military strike against the Iranian-backed rebels, who have been behind numerous destabilizing actions in the Middle East. The president emphasized that he would not tolerate such behavior, criticizing former President Joe Biden for being “pathetically weak” in handling the situation.

“To all Houthi terrorists, YOUR TIME IS UP, AND YOUR ATTACKS MUST STOP, STARTING TODAY. IF THEY DON’T, HELL WILL RAIN DOWN UPON YOU LIKE NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

The Houthis’ political bureau described Trump’s attacks as a “war crime” and are “fully prepared to respond to escalation with escalation.” (Read more from “Houthis Post Message Involving American Flag Draped Coffins After Trump Launches Strike In Yemen” HERE)

Democratic Insiders Complain Kamala Harris Is ‘MIA’ After Election: ‘Not the Leadership the World Needs’

. . .Democratic insiders are still stinging from losing the election to Donald Trump — and view Kamala Harris as a political “Where’s Waldo” who’s gone “MIA,” they say.

“She’s MIA!” groused one Democratic insider to Page Six of Harris.

The political source added Harris’ husband “Doug [Emhoff] is telling people she’s the leader of the party, but there is a clear lack of leadership.”

“The person you just spent $2 billion on trying to elect? I’m glad she’s having a good time going to a musical, and being repped by CAA,” said the insider, but, “this whole strategy of ‘do not do anything, or say anything,’ that’s not the kind of leadership the world needs right now.”

Last month Harris signed with CAA, and saw “A Wonderful World” and “Gypsy” on Broadway.

(Another source told us of Harris, and Joe Biden who’s also repped by the Hollywood power agency, “I don’t think bookings for them are through the roof.”) (Read more from “Democratic Insiders Complain Kamala Harris Is ‘MIA’ After Election: ‘Not the Leadership the World Needs’” HERE)

Trump Wants To Eliminate Fed Income Tax For 93% Of Americans, Commerce Sec Says

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said this week that President Donald Trump’s goal is to significantly cut taxes across the board, and completely eliminate the federal income tax on Americans making under $150,000 annually — which could impact 93% of Americans.

Lutnick said the administration wants to have other nations chip in through tariffs and closing overseas tax loopholes so Americans can pay less in taxes. “His goal is to have external revenue,” Lutnick said of Trump, on CBS this past Wednesday.

“The rest of the world leans on our economy, breathes off our economy,” he said. “Not only is our economy $29 trillion GDP, but we consume $20 trillion a year — we are the buyers of everybody’s stuff. So, who’s more important, the people who sell stuff, or the people who buy stuff?”

“Let them pay a membership fee — we all understand that model,” Lutnick continued. “How about no tax on tips, how about no tax on overtime, how about no social security [tax]?”

“These are the kinds of things that will change America,” the secretary added. “I know what [Trump’s] goal is: no tax for anybody who makes less than $150,000 a year. That’s his goal.” (Read more from “Trump Wants To Eliminate Fed Income Tax For 93% Of Americans, Commerce Sec Says” HERE)
