Foiled L.A. Attack Raises Alarms Over Additional Targets– trendingpoliticsnews.com

pgnewser December 16, 2025

Federal prosecutors say a group of far-left extremists plotted to bomb U.S. businesses on New Year’s Eve and then turn their sights on federal immigration agents in a follow-up wave of attacks.

According to a criminal complaint, four members of a cell calling itself the Order of the Black Lotus planned to plant pipe bombs at two American companies in Los Angeles as part of a scheme dubbed “Operation Midnight Sun.” The group is described as a splinter faction of the anti-capitalist Turtle Island Liberation Front.

After the initial bombings, the suspects allegedly planned to target ICE agents and their vehicles beginning in January or February 2026, hoping the explosions “would take some of them out and scare the rest of them,” prosecutors said.

Investigators said the New Year’s Eve plot involved backpacks packed with explosive devices, outlined in a handwritten plan recovered during the investigation.

The four suspects arrested were Audrey Carroll, 30, who used the aliases “Asiginaak” and “black moon”; Zachary Page, 32, who went by “Ash Kerrigan,” “AK” and “cthulu’s daughter”; Dante Garfield, 24, also known as “Cedar” or “Nomad”; and Tina Lai, 41, whose alias was “Kickwhere.”

Trump Admin Sues Blue City Over Race-Based Housing Discrimination– trendingpoliticsnews.com

pgnewser December 16, 2025

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced that its Office for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) has launched an investigation into certain housing practices implemented by the City of Boston over alleged racial discrimination in housing.

The investigation focuses on policies described as “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) initiatives, which HUD alleges may violate the Fair Housing Act and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by incorporating race-based preferences.The notification to the City of Boston was issued recently, following a prior letter from HUD expressing concerns that the city was using federal grant assistance in ways that include prohibited race-based preferences.

Examples include efforts under the city’s Fair Housing Assessment to target homebuyer outreach specifically at Black and “Latinx” families. This involves the Mayor’s Office of Housing, the Boston Planning Department, and the Boston Housing Authority collecting racial and ethnic data to evaluate programs through a racial equity and social justice perspective.

Trump Admin Fires 8 Immigration Judges in New York City– slaynews.com

pgnewser December 12, 2025

President Donald Trump’s administration has removed eight immigration judges from their posts in New York City.

The move is part of a sweeping national effort to restore order to the immigration system and accelerate illegal alien deportations amid surging public concern over border security.

According to the New York Times, all eight judges worked inside 26 Federal Plaza, one of the city’s major immigration courts.

The outlet cited two officials, one from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and another from the National Association of Immigration Judges, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Among those dismissed was Amiena A. Khan, an assistant chief immigration judge who supervised colleagues inside the building.

Supreme Court throws out ruling that forced Amish parents to vaccinate children– www.lifesitenews.com

pgnewser December 12, 2025

The U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals must reexamine its decision to allow New York officials to levy massive fines on Amish parents for declining vaccines for their children, the Supreme Court ruled.

On Monday, the Supreme Court asked the Second Circuit to reconsider a ruling that upheld New York’s imposition of vaccine requirements on small Amish schools and, by extension, students. The Supreme Court said the court must reconsider the ruling in light of Mahmoud v. Taylor.

This summer, SCOTUS ruled in favor of a religiously diverse group of parents who said that sexualized school curriculum in Montgomery County, Maryland, public schools violated their religious rights. The school district eliminated opt-outs after an overwhelming number of parents requested them.

That ruling could now clear the way for greater religious freedom rights in other areas of life.

“This case is about the Amish defending their faith and way of life,” First Liberty Institute counsel Hiram Sasser told LifeSiteNews via a media statement. The group is representing the Amish parents fighting hundreds of thousands of dollars of fines.

DHS Reveals Historic Number Illegal Aliens Left the US in 2025– www.westernjournal.com

pgnewser December 12, 2025

The more than 600,000 illegal immigrants who have been deported under President Donald Trump represent just a fraction of those who have left the United States, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

More than 2.5 illegal immigrants have left the United States in the roughly 11 months of the Trump administration, according to a Department of Homeland Security news release.

The agency has deported 605,000 illegal immigrants, the release said.

“DHS has prioritized removing the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens as part of the Trump Administration’s efforts to return law and order to the United States,” the release said.

The release said 1.9 million illegal immigrants have self-deported since Trump took office on Jan. 20.

The Department of Homeland Security has offered to fly illegal immigrants who voluntarily self-deport back to their home countries.

Appeals Court Affirms New York Pregnancy Centers’ Right to Share Abortion Pill Reversal– www.standingforfreedom.com

pgnewser December 12, 2025

On Monday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled that New York Attorney General Letitia James cannot stop pro-life pregnancy centers within the state from speaking about abortion pill reversal (APR).ADF Senior Counsel Caroline Lindsay, who argued before the court on behalf of three pro-life pregnancy care organizations, celebrated the ruling, stating, “The court is correct to affirm that women in New York have the right to access information about safe and effective supplemental progesterone through their local pregnancy centers, regardless of what the attorney general may personally believe. The First Amendment clearly protects the right to speak and hear about this potentially life-saving option.”

The case goes back to May 2024, when James announced that she was suing Heartbeat International, a group of pro-life pregnancy care centers that provide referrals for women seeking APR, along with 11 other New York crisis pregnancy centers. James claimed that APR is unproven and unsafe and wanted to block the centers from advertising its availability or discussing it with women.

Federal Court Strikes Down Florida Abortion Clinic Buffer Zone– www.standingforfreedom.com

pgnewser December 12, 2025

A federal appeals court has ordered Clearwater, Florida, to halt enforcement of a city ordinance that created a pedestrian buffer zone outside an abortion clinic, ruling that the measure likely violates the First Amendment.Passed in 2023, the rule created a vehicular safety zone that bars anyone from using a stretch of sidewalk within five feet of the driveway at Bread and Roses Women’s Health Center during business hours. City officials say they put the zone in place to improve patient safety and reduce traffic concerns.

Florida Preborn Rescue, Inc., along with four sidewalk counselors, had challenged the ordinance, arguing that it kept them from offering peaceful guidance on a public walkway.

Tyler Brooks, senior counsel for Thomas More Society, who represents the plaintiffs, had argued on filing the suit,

“This buffer zone is clearly discriminatory and meant to stifle pro-life speech. It was instituted by the Clearwater city council for the express purpose of limiting the speech and activities of life advocates taking place outside of the deceptively genteel looking Bread and Roses abortion facility.”

Fifth Circuit: libraries don’t have to buy LGBTQ porn– www.americanthinker.com

pgnewser December 12, 2025

Supposed censorship of library books took off as a faux-major issue during the Biden’s Handlers’ Administration. This was almost entirely in response to local efforts to remove LGBTQWERTY+- books from public and school libraries, or to at least place age-appropriate limits on them.

Among the most commonly banned books of all time has been Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. That beloved book has weathered fire from the left and right. Some on the right have wanted to ban it because it depicts a child—Huck Finn—often outsmarting adults. Much of the left thinks the entire book racist, which is odd considering Twain labors mightily to depict slaves as human beings worthy of kindness.

What remains most odd is removing a book from library shelves, or simply applying age restrictions, isn’t censorship by dictionary definition or in practical application. In America, no one is preventing authors from writing whatever they please, nor are publishers prevented from printing a book or book sellers from selling it. There is no prior restraint. This is a happy result of the First Amendment, unlike anything enjoyed by any other nation, including England. Anyone, or any parent, can buy such books at will, and outlets like Amazon make that fast and easy.

DOJ Sues MPS For Preferential Treatment Of Non-White Teachers– thefederalist.com

pgnewser December 12, 2025

The U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) over a collective bargaining agreement giving preferential treatment to non-white teachers and shelling out other benefits based on race.

After settling a three-week strike of the Minnesota Federation of Teachers in 2022, MPS included a provision in new teacher contracts that let teachers who were not white bypass the normal system of layoffs and involuntary assignments (which are typically based on seniority), indicating the school system now has a policy of retaining racially “underrepresented” teachers over white teachers who have been there longer.

“Employers may not provide more favorable terms and conditions of employment based on an employee’s race and sex,” Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon said in a Wednesday announcement. “The Department of Justice will vigorously pursue employers who deny their employees equal opportunities and benefits by classifying and limiting them based on their race, color, national origin, or sex.”

Trump Ends Temporary Protected Status for Burmese Migrants– slaynews.com

pgnewser November 25, 2025

President Donald Trump’s administration announced that it will end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Burmese nationals.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has now concluded that conditions in Burma have stabilized enough for citizens to return.

The move continues the administration’s broader effort to scale back TPS programs that have been repeatedly extended under previous administrations.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the decision returns the program to its intended purpose.

Noem said Burma has made “notable progress in governance and stability,” pointing to the end of its state of emergency, plans for elections, ceasefire agreements, and improvements in local governance.

Burma, also known as Myanmar, was designated for TPS in May 2021 by then–Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Texas Governor Accuses Islamists of Running Illegal Sharia Courts

pgnewser November 25, 2025

Republican Greg Abbot of Texas is calling for a criminal investigation into Islamists operating Sharia courts illegally on Texas soil. Abbot wrote to Texas AG Ken Paxton and relevant law officials, “It has come to my attention that certain entities in Texas—including in Collin and Dallas Counties—may be masquerading as legal “courts” staffed with “judges” issuing orders that purportedly carry the authority to bind individuals to Islamic codes, thereby preempting state and federal laws. Such practices appear to cross the line from permissible internal religious decision-making to violations of state criminal laws.”

Tex Governor Abbot Abbott Calls for Criminal Investigations Into Sharia Courts Operating in Texas – gellerreport.com

We applaud Governor Abbott for addressing this oppressive, parallel government operating in our midst. Under Islamic law, there is no equality for all before the law.

Muslims are the only immigrant group who come to the West with a ready made model of society they believe to be superior to Western law and they work furiously, by all means, to impose it. Under Islam, shariah (Islamic) law supersedes Western law. Anywhere Western law and Shariah law conflict, it is always Western law that must give way. What those of us working in defense of freedom did not expect, was the craven capitulation and cowardice by Western left elites to Islamic supremacy.

Epstein Bill Is No Win for Transparency– www.dailysignal.com

pgnewser November 25, 2025

Following months of political theater, gamesmanship, and grandstanding in the halls of Congress, President Donald Trump has signed into law the bill to release the Epstein files.

Political leaders on both sides of the aisle have taken victory laps for transparency and are eagerly awaiting the release of documents to score more political points. But like much of what happens in the halls of Congress these days, the Epstein files law is yet another example of Congress appearing to fix a problem and failing to do so. This law is a red herring and is endemic of the much larger problem of weak congressional oversight.

The Epstein legislation is poorly written and contains loopholes large enough to drive a Mack truck through. For example, the legislation applies only to records in the possession of the Justice Department. What about the rest of the U.S. government? There are legitimate questions surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s connections to the intelligence community. By cabining records in the possession of the Justice Department, the bill leaves a lot of meat on the bone.

DOJ sues California for illegal immigrant tuition deal– www.thecollegefix.com

pgnewser November 25, 2025

California is violating federal law, according to a new lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice.

The state effectively in-state tuition to illegal immigrants, which violates a federal prohibition against the practice. University of California does so, for example, by allowing for in-state tuition rates to illegal immigrants who attended school for three years in the state and graduated from high school.

Federal law forbids states from offering better tuition deals to illegal immigrants who reside in the state than it does to Americans from other states.

This illegal “unequal treatment,” according to the lawsuit filed on Nov. 20.

Plaintiffs include Governor Gavin Newsom and the regents for the state university and community college systems.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed support for the peace plan proposed by the United States to end the war between Russia and Ukraine.

President Donald Trump presented the 28-point draft proposal for a peace plan to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukrainian officials last week, according to the Associated Press. The plan included security guarantees for Ukraine, an agreement not to join NATO in the future, Ukraine’s eligibility for membership into the European Union, and territory concessions by Ukraine and Russia, among other details.

While speaking at a press conference during the G20 summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, Meloni rejected the idea of needing a counterproposal to the U.S. deal, emphasizing the plan had “many points that were acceptable.” She suggested using the plan as a foundation for a peace agreement, rather than scrapping it and drafting a counterproposal.

North Dakota Supreme Court Upholds Abortion Ban– www.lifenews.com

pgnewser November 25, 2025

The North Dakota Supreme Court on Friday restored a near-total ban on abortions, delivering a major victory for pro-life advocates who hailed the decision as a critical step in safeguarding unborn children across the state.

In a 3-2 ruling, the high court found that the state’s pro-life law banning abortions, enacted by the Legislature in 2023, remains constitutional, rejecting a lower court’s earlier decision to strike down the law.

The measure, Senate Bill 2150, classifies killing a baby in an abortion as a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Exceptions are permitted only to save a patient’s life or protect their health, and such rare abortions must occur in hospital settings.

California Man Arrested For Violently Threatening Prominent Conservative Host– trendingpoliticsnews.com

pgnewser November 25, 2025

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced that federal charges have been filed against a man who threatened to kill a prominent conservative political commentator and friend of the late Charlie Kirk.

George Isbell Jr., 69, was arrested last month in San Diego, California for allegedly threatening to kill conservative political commentator Benny Johnson. He will be federally charged in Florida with mailing a threatening communication, according to Bondi.

“Benny is a well-known media personality, carrying a message very similar to Charlie’s. Grounded largely in faith and love of country. Just days after Charlie’s assassination, Benny received a letter at his home where he and Kate are raising their beautiful, beautiful young family,” Bondi said. “The author of this letter made it very clear that he hated Benny because of his views, and he wanted Benny dead.”

“This was a coward hiding behind a keyboard who thought he could get away with this. That’s why we’re standing up here today. You are not going to get away with threatening people in this way. And I’m proud to announce that we have arrested the author of this letter,” the attorney general added.

Texas Governor Labels CAIR a Terrorist Group Amid Rising Tensions– www.newsbusters.org

pgnewser November 25, 2025

New York Times Houston bureau chief J. David Goodman sounded aggrieved in his Texas-based story in Wednesday’s paper, “Texas Declares Muslim Civil Rights Group a Terrorist.” This is how liberal papers routinely describe leftist agitators. They’re “civil rights groups.”

As for the phrase “Muslim Civil Rights Group,” the Times is actually talking about the Council for American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Hamas-linked Islamic pressure group. “Civil rights group” should not describe a radical group whose national executive director Nihad Awad declared himself happy about the October 7 massacre by Hamas — a story covered by the Times in December 2023 but ignored in this new story. “I was happy to see people breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land,” Awad said.

Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas declared on Tuesday that one of the nation’s largest Muslim advocacy and civil rights groups is a foreign terrorist organization, saying the move will prohibit the organization from acquiring land in Texas and authorize the state attorney general “to sue to shut them down” in Texas.

In his declaration, Mr. Abbott said that the group, the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, had direct ties to Hamas, which has been designated as a terrorist group by the U.S. government. The nonprofit, known by its initials, CAIR, has denied having any such ties.

Move over, colonoscopies — researchers writing in ACS Sensors report that they have created tiny microspheres filled with bacteria that can sense the presence of blood, a key sign of gastrointestinal disease. These microspheres function like miniature “pills” that are swallowed and include magnetic particles so they can be easily collected from stool. After passing through mouse models with colitis, the sensors detected gastrointestinal bleeding within minutes. The team notes that the same bacterial system could eventually be engineered to identify other gut-related conditions.

“This technology provides a new paradigm for rapid and non-invasive detection of gastrointestinal diseases,” says Ying Zhou, a co-author of the study.

Texas Judge Upholds Right Of Incarcerated Women to Be Housed Away From “Trans-Identifying” Men– legalinsurrection.com

pgnewser November 25, 2025

Under the reality-denying concept of “transgender,” which was enshrined in federal regulation in 2012, more and more incarcerated men have been permitted to opt into women’s prisons based on self-identification. There have been some legal challenges to this, but, until now, these efforts have not yet been successful.

In the wake of President Trump’s Executive Order (EO) on Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government, two women incarcerated at the sole women’s medical center in the federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) system filed suit. This EO included a provision requiring federal agencies to “ensure that males are not detained in women’s prisons or housed in women’s detention centers.” Due to the DC district court issuing Preliminary Injunctions on behalf of male inmates demanding to continue to be housed in women’s prison, the EO has not been implemented.

Missouri Attorney General Files Lawsuit to Stop Mail-Order Abortion Pills– www.lifenews.com

pgnewser November 21, 2025

Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway filed a federal lawsuit Thursday challenging the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of a new generic version of the abortion drug mifepristone.

Hanaway is arguing that the decision endangers women by allowing unchecked mail-order distribution without basic medical safeguards.

The suit, joined by Kansas and Idaho, seeks to block the September 30 approval of the generic product from Evita Solutions and restore pre-2016 safety standards for the drug, including requirements for in-person medical evaluations to detect life-threatening conditions like ectopic pregnancies.

Hanaway, a Republican, said the lawsuit supports Missouri’s ongoing multi-state challenge against the FDA’s rollback of safety protections mandated by Congress for mifepristone, which is used in the abortions. The abortion pill has killed multiple women and injured countless thousands.
