House Democrats have been caught spreading a video on social media that promotes false claims about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and their operations.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a detailed rebuttal on Friday after the misleading video was deceitfully reposted and amplified by House Homeland Security Committee Democrats.

The video misrepresented an ICE enforcement operation in Fitchburg, Massachusetts.

The committee’s official account on X accused DHS of dishonesty.

While sharing footage of the arrest, the account wrote:

“DHS will lie. They always do,”

A gunman allegedly opened fire on U.S. Border Patrol agents conducting immigration enforcement operations in Chicago Tuesday, forcing officers to call for police backup.

The shooting occurred near 26th Street and Kedzie Avenue when an unknown male in a black Jeep fired shots at federal agents before fleeing the scene, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Others at the scene threw a paint can and bricks at Border Patrol vehicles.

Chicago Police responded to assist and cleared the area. The shooter and vehicle remain at large.

On Friday’s The 11th Hour on MSNBC, panelists all went left in their choices for MVP of the week with praise going to the man who threw a sandwich at an ICE agent in D.C., the jury that acquitted him, and socialist Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani (D-New  York).

Host Stephanie Ruhle first went to Betches co-founder Sami Sage who oozed: “The D.C. sandwich guy who was found not guilty of assaulting an ICE officer, and I just think it’s a lovely, you know, non-violent type of resistance.” If someone threw a sandwich at Sage, would she find it “nonviolent”?

After Ruhle responded, “Throwing a sandwich?” Sage added: “Yeah, why not?”

The media have been inundating Americans with stories of ICE’s cruelty to old ladies, babies, innocent men, and ordinary “Americans”—almost all of them here illegally, of course. It’s a non-stop drip of poisonous claims against federal law enforcement officers, all intended to make them look like Nazi stormtroopers attacking utterly innocent people who just happen to be here illegally, and are occasionally murderers, rapists, and pedophiles.

Nor are these stories just appearing on social media. “Reputable” news outlets are covering them, keeping the inflammatory material in the first paragraphs and burying the exculpatory facts deep in the articles.

The former DOJ lawyer who was on trial for throwing a sandwich at a federal agent over the summer was found not guilty by a DC jury on Thursday.

A man in a salmon-colored t-shirt was caught on video throwing a sandwich at a federal officer in DC over the summer after President Trump deployed the National Guard to patrol the streets.

The sandwich thrower was identified as 37-year-old Sean Charles Dunn, a DOJ trial attorney. A DC grand jury previously refused to indict Dunn on felony charges so the DOJ downgraded his charges to a misdemeanor and went to trial.

“All proper paperwork for this standard donation is on file,” Bowser’s office said.

Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser is reportedly the target of a federal corruption investigation over a trip she took with members of staff that was paid for by Qatar.

People familiar with the matter told the New York Times that the inquiry is based on potential bribery or campaign finance law violations. The investigation has reportedly been underway for months, and is being handled by the US Attorney’s Office in Washington.

Bowser’s office said in a written statement, “This was a business trip. DC representatives regularly travel to promote Washington as a destination for investment and growth.” The office said that those efforts have brought business to the city. “All proper paperwork for this standard donation is on file.”

The probe began after a local news report in April 2025 regarding Bowser and four members of her staff traveling to Dubai in 2023 for a United Nations conference. The mayor’s office said when asked about the trip that it had been paid for by the DC Chamber of Commerce, however, the office later claimed that it had been covered by the US Conference of Mayors.

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer suffered a severe laceration to his mouth and burns to his face after a criminal illegal alien assaulted him with a metal coffee cup during an enforcement operation in Houston, Texas, Monday. The laceration resulted in 13 stitches on and above the officer’s lip.

ICE agents have arrested more than 1,500 criminal aliens, gang members, foreign fugitives and immigration offenders in the Houston area over a ten-day period.

Walter Leonel Perez Rodriguez, a violent criminal illegal alien from El Salvador, allegedly attacked the Houston ICE officer while he was being apprehended.

Rodriguez, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), had previously been convicted of numerous charges, including sexual assault of a child under 17 –years-old, multiple DUIs, child fondling, and illegally re-entering the United States.

Key Takeaways

  • A Monroe County Community College administrator approved a Turning Point USA chapter despite the student government voting against it, citing free expression.
  • Vice President Scott Behrens emphasized that his decision was made after discussions with student government members and the prospective club president, who assured adherence to college policies and respect for all students.

A Michigan community college has approved a Turning Point USA chapter after the student government voted to reject it, with an administrator overriding the decision in the name of free expression.

Last week, the Monroe County Community College student government association voted 8-3 against approving the chapter, according to a news release from the school.

Despite the vote, Vice President of Enrollment Management and Student Success Scott Behrens used his final authority under school policy to approve the group and emailed the student government president and the club’s prospective advisor, Barry Kinsey, to confirm.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday said during the Arctic Frost investigation, investigators found that Special Counsel Jack Smith seized President Trump’s government-issued phone.

Jack Smith also subpoenaed President Trump’s personal records.

Full statement from Pam Bondi:

During the Arctic Frost Investigation, we found that Special Counsel seized President Trump’s government-issued phone.

This means the Biden Administration turned over President Trump’s phone to Special Counsel—an UNPRECEDENTED action.

In addition, Special Counsel subpoenaed all of President Trump’s PERSONAL phone records.

We can never again allow this kind of government weaponization in America.

I submitted these new documents to our partners on Capitol Hill. I commend our team at the FBI for working diligently to expose this.

The statement sought by CBS News and provided by the Department of Homeland Security completely undermined the report on a Chicago ICE arrest that ran on the Evening News. But the network ran the report nonetheless, burying the DHS’s statement at the end of the report.

Here is that report in its entirety, as aired on the CBS Evening News on Wednesday, November 5th, 2025:

MAURICE DuBOIS: There is outrage in Chicago tonight following a federal immigration arrest at a day care center.

JOHN DICKERSON: While witnesses say it was a chaotic scene, officials say the day care was not the primary target. Ash-har Quraishi has the story.

ASH-HAR QURAISHI: This video captured the moment ICE agents dragged a pre-K teacher out of a day care center on Chicago’s North Side. She can be seen pleading with the agents as she is pushed up against a waiting sedan. At one point, she shouts in Spanish, “I have papers.”

MIKE QUIGLEY: ICE agents followed a teacher into the facility without a warrant and abducted her in front of her students. This woman is a trusted, loved member of her community. With a work permit.

QURAISHI: Officials identified the woman as Diana Galeano, a Colombian national in the country since 2023 and seeking asylum. Children, teachers, and parents inside of the time of the arrest said they were traumatized by what they saw.

A Democrat congressman has been accused of distorting the facts about the arrest of an illegal alien at a daycare facility in Chicago.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has accused Democrat Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) of lying about the circumstances of the arrest.

According to Breitbart, Quigley falsely claimed that ICE agents arrested an innocent “preschool teacher.”

However, Quigley failed to mention that the “teacher” is a foreign national who had entered the country illegally.

Quigley provoked outrage from leftists on social media by claiming that ICE stormed into the school and “abducted a preschool teacher without a warrant – in front of children.”

Key Takeaways

  • University of Chicago Professor Eman Abdelhadi faces charges of aggravated battery against a police officer during her participation in protests at an ICE detention facility.
  • Abdelhadi was arrested in October and then released on bail. She is scheduled back in court later this month.
  • She has a history of contentious statements about her university and political figures, including telling the late Vice President Dick Cheney to ‘rest in hell.’

University of Chicago Professor Eman Abdelhadi is scheduled to be back in court Nov. 21 after she was charged by the state of Illinois with aggravated battery against a police officer in October.

Her arrest and charges stem from the sociology professor’s involvement in weeks-long protests outside an ICE detention facility in Broadview, Illinois. She is charged with two felony counts of aggravated battery allegedly against a police officer, as well as two misdemeanor counts of obstructing the peace.

The student government at the University of Maryland passed a resolution Wednesday that seeks to ban Israel Defense Forces members from speaking on campus.

“The resolution came after a pro-Israel student group hosted IDF soldiers, which protesters disrupted by calling them ‘baby killers’ and comparing the IDF to the KKK,” the Jewish Journal reported.

According to the Diamondback student newspaper, the resolution — which passed unanimously — urges administrators “to condemn the hosting of the soldiers and change university policy so that student organizations and academic departments will not be able to host speakers who have been found, or are being actively investigated for genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity or systematic human rights violations.”

The resolution is non-binding, meaning it only represents the opinions of the student government and is not enforcable.

The crux of the controversy centers on an event held Oct. 21 by Students Supporting Israel featuring three guest speakers, Israel Defense Forces soldiers, who shared “their experiences fighting for Israel before and after October 7, and their advice for us college students on standing up against antisemitism and anti-Zionism every day,” according to the group.

The event prompted a protest, during which four students, including two student journalists, were detained by police for an hour, the Diamondback reported; according to campus police: “Four people were in the hallway causing a disruption. This disruption included screaming, holding signs and recording their actions.”

One of the most notorious tactics employed by left-wing agitators during their so-called “peaceful protests” is to try and conceal their identities by wearing a bandana or scarf that partially covers their faces, ski mask-style facial coverings, or some type of character mask that obscures pretty much everything but their eyes.

More recently in Portland, however, the nightly rabble rousers have, in many instances, begun wearing full costumes in front of the city’s ICE facility as a way to distract and deceive federal law enforcement, something we also saw during some of the “No Kings” protests in mid-October.

Here are a couple of examples:

“Unfortunately, we expect to see more of these operations in the coming weeks. It’s important to remember that everyone still has rights—no matter what,” said Rep. Ruiz.

Oregon state representative Ricki Ruiz called to disrupt a high-risk immigration enforcement operation, which involved making targeted arrests of Tren de Aragua gang members at an apartment complex situated next to a Portland elementary school.

The suspects, all of whom are illegally present in the United States, had been using the apartment unit as a “stash house” to harbor illicit drugs, firearms, and ammunition, which were being sold in the Portland, Oregon area, according to federal investigators. Rep. Ruiz, a Democrat, condemned the October 24 operation on social media, sharing a hotline from the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition (PIRC) that mobilizes anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activists to disrupt immigration enforcement actions once ICE activity is reported.

Rockwood Preparatory Academy (K-5) closed the school for the day due to the presence of federal agents.

Democrats are learning all the wrong lessons from where their vile rhetoric has gotten them — and Nancy Pelosi’s latest outburst is only the latest proof.

In a recent CNN interview, Pelosi called Donald Trump “a vile creature” and “the worst thing on the face of the earth,” before backing up her claim with virtually nothing.

“He’s just a vile creature. The worst thing on the face of the earth, but anyway,” Pelosi told the interviewer.

“You think he’s the worst thing on the face of the earth?” the interviewer asked.

“Yeah, I do, because he’s the president of the United States, and he does not honor the Constitution of the United States,” Pelosi replied.

The “No Kings” movement started last June with a series of protests opposing what the organizers say are the corrupt and authoritarian policies of President Trump. The most recent event occurred on October 18, when supporters claimed that more than seven million people participated in over 2,700 events across all 50 states.

Like any president, Trump has made some mistakes, but calling him a “king” is absurd. Kings are not elected, and Trump ran for office three times, winning twice.

In fact, when it comes to tyranny, the fingers should really be pointed at the leftists in the “No Kings” crowd.

Let’s start with Trump’s predecessor, Joe Biden, and his cronies. As Victor Davis Hanson points out, in 2021, Biden’s DOJ and FBI raided former President Trump’s home. They found only 102 classified documents among approximately 14,000 seized, yet still indicted him. However, there was no SWAT raid on Biden’s multiple repositories of illegally removed classified documents.

Blurb:

If you’re reading this, there is a good chance Joe Biden’s Justice Department tried to throw you in prison.

That is the inescapable conclusion of whistleblower documents from inside the DOJ and FBI about the Biden Administration’s Arctic Frost operation. It turns out Arctic Frost was never the inquiry into Donald Trump and Jan. 6 that Attorney General Merrick Garland and Special Counsel Jack Smith said it was. Rather, it was an unprecedented, illegal conspiracy of partisan prosecutors and FBI agents to surveil, harass, and prosecute “the entire Republican political apparatus” for the crime of being conservative.

There has never been anything like it in American history — a sweeping, open-ended, fishing expedition conducted by the regime against the opposition party. Arctic Frost weaponized the federal criminal justice system not just to defeat Trump in the 2024 presidential election, but to permanently rig the U.S. political system against the GOP.

The details are mind-boggling.

Smith secretly surveilled the telephones of at least eight Republican senators without any reason to believe any of them committed a crime. He issued 197 subpoenas to 430 individuals and organizations, none of whom had anything to do with the J6 trespassers. Indeed, some of targeted groups didn’t even exist, or hadn’t even started operations, on Jan. 6, 2021!

The abuses compound from there. Smith got a left-wing federal judge to gag phone companies from telling senators about the subpoenas — possibly a federal crime in its own right. Nor were Smith’s subpoenas restricted to information relevant to J6. On the contrary, Smith demanded wholesale access to private donor information, banking records, and even contacts with the media. Subpoenaed groups and individuals spent millions of dollars in legal fees just trying to comply.

U.S. officials are increasingly moving themselves and their families onto military bases in response to rising threats from within that are connected to the usual Progmerican, DNC blue shirts threats. In addition to the DNC threats, the officials are also facing an ‘ongoing foreign threat.”

In response to this ratcheting up of threats, the Trump administration is building “a quick reactionary force” in every state through the National Guard to deal with the rising DNC blue-shirts threats. Some of the officials include, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and Stephen Miller.

The Democrats have made politics a bloody battlefield.

Several top Trump administration officials have reportedly been relocated to secure military housing in Washington, D.C., amid ongoing Democrat violence, security concerns and threats directed at high-profile Trump and right-wing political figures.

Senior Trump administration officials, including Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and Tulsi Gabbard, have relocated to secure on-base housing near Washington, D.C., following harassment, death threats, and protests after the September 10, 2025, assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The Pentagon has ordered each state’s National Guard to form quick reaction forces of 500 troops trained in crowd control, operational by January 2026, to address potential post-election unrest.

Donald Trump, Charlie Kirk, Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh are just the most terrible examples that spring to mind……

Two bills recently proposed to honor slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk on Oklahoma college campuses have prompted debate, with some professors arguing the proposals go too far and run afoul of the very principles Kirk espoused.

One week after Kirk’s assassination, Oklahoma state Sen. Shane Jett, who leads the Oklahoma Freedom Caucus, introduced the bills to honor the memory and legacy of the Turning Point USA founder.

The proposals seek to require Oklahoma’s public institutions of higher education to honor Kirk’s birthday, Oct. 14, as Charlie Kirk Free Speech Day, and “designate and develop a prominent area on its main campus as the ‘Charlie Kirk Memorial Plaza.’”

If any student, employee or faculty member vandalizes the plaza, they would be terminated from enrollment or employment and fined for the cost of the damage, the OU Daily student newspaper reported.

I reported on the preview clips from the 60 Minutes interview that President Donald Trump did with Norah O’Donnell that aired Sunday night. The first two clips were not promising as to whether CBS made a change in how they will be approaching things. One was “What are you doing as president to end the shutdown?” It isn’t up to Trump; it’s up to the Democrats who are behind the government closure. O’Donnell also asked what Trump would do if China attacked Taiwan. Now, that seemed a pretty ridiculous question, because he’s not going to tell her how he would respond, and give away our plans. He made it obvious that it was not something that China would like, which is the only way to answer that question.

Texas Republican Congressman Brandon Gil has filed articles of impeachment against US District Judge James Boasberg amid revelations that the Obama-appointed activist approved secret subpoenas to seize private phone records of Senators in the sham “Arctic Frost” investigation.

It was revealed last week that the FBI and DOJ weaponized their power to target President Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and their allies to dig up dirt on Republicans and activists who participated in efforts to overturn the rigged 2020 election.

As previously reported, Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley said last week that “197 subpoenas were issued by Jack Smith and his team. These subpoenas were issued to 34 individuals and 163 businesses, including financial institutions.”

The subpoenas requested records and communications related to over 430 individuals and organizations – all aimed at Republicans.

This comes as the city of Portland and the state of Oregon recommit to their status as sanctuaries for illegal immigrants in the face of the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal migration.

Several illegal aliens involved with the Tren de Aragua terror group were apprehended in Portland, Oregon, during a high-risk operation involving the illicit sales of drugs, firearms, and ammunition. The suspects, who were originally residing in Chicago, are believed to have moved to Portland just over a month ago in response to immigration enforcement operations increasing in the Windy City, federal investigators say.

US Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) breached a Portland apartment unit the group was suspected of using as a “stash house” on October 24, taking the ringleader into custody, along with seven other accomplices, all of whom are illegally present in the United States and have suspected ties to Tren de Aragua, according to authorities.

A federal judge extended an order barring President Donald Trump‘s federalization and deployment of the National Guard to Portland, as she prepares to issue a final ruling later this week.

U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut has continuously sided with Oregon officials over the Trump administration about whether the president lawfully ordered the deployment of the National Guard in September, further extending her order blocking the deployment of any troops to Portland through Friday.

Immergut held a three-day trial last week featuring testimony related to Trump’s claims that protests over federal immigration operations grew so unruly he needed to call in the National Guard to protect federal assets and officials. The federal judge said that while she is still reviewing the evidence and testimony from the trial, based on her early reading of the evidence, the administration’s claims of violence in the immediate weeks before the deployment were unfounded.

Why? They believe they can use the Democratic Party as a springboard to enact socialist policies in America and topple our great nation in the process. They’re doing the same thing in Minneapolis with mayoral candidate Omar Fateh.

It’s alarmingly clear these radical socialists understand that all politics is local, and they’re pushing for more Mamdani-like candidates in places like Gulfport, Mississippi, Florida, and Texas.

Antifa has not yet been sufficiently violent in Portland, Oregon, that anyone other than sympathetic Portland police officers should be deployed to contain it, according to a federal judge.

In a Sunday night ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Karin J. Immergut blocked the deployment of the National Guard, which President Donald Trump wanted to patrol the streets of violence-racked Portland to protect federal immigration agents who have been the subjects of months of violent protests.

The judge, nominated by Trump, gave the city of Portland and the states of Oregon and California a preliminary injunction that will be in effect until her Friday ruling, according to KATU.

Immergut’s injunction tips her hand that she is likely to rule against Trump.

Conservative students report vandalism, protests at first meeting earlier this month

Students erupted in cheers after the Fort Lewis College senate voted this week to reject a request to recognize a new Turning Point USA chapter as an official student organization, according to a video of the meeting.

“Disappointing day for our college. They value ‘diversity’, but not diversity of thought. This will not stand,” the Fort Lewis TPUSA chapter wrote Thursday on X.

Senate President Asa Worthington announced the vote during the Associated Students of Fort Lewis College’s weekly meeting, describing it as a “difficult decision,” according to a video of the meeting, posted by Libs of TikTok. Fort Lewis is a public college in Colorado.

“In light of the opinions and concerns shared with us today on both sides of the discussion, … we have decided to deny Turning Point USA’s request to become an RSO1 at this time,” Worthington said.

The announcement resulted in cheers from a number of students in attendance.
