Chicago Bans ICE In Public Areas After Withholding Police Backup– thefederalist.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Fully embracing anarchy, Democrat leaders in Chicago, a sanctuary city; and in Illinois, a sanctuary state, are using every possible method to thwart federal immigration authorities from removing illegal aliens and curtailing rampant crime there.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson issued an executive order Monday creating an ICE Free Zone, preventing ICE from using city property, such as parking lots, as staging areas, or for enforcement actions. City agencies are directed to use physical barriers like locked gates to limit access to city property, and report to the mayor any attempted use of city property for immigration enforcement. Chicago taxpayers will fund a city-wide distribution of “Know Your Rights” materials for employees, tenants, and security staff, training them to deal with federal agents wishing to use city property.

Gov. JB Pritzker announced the state filed a lawsuit Monday seeking a temporary restraining order to block President Donald Trump from using Illinois and Texas National Guard troops to manage crime in Chicago.

“Illinois is going to use every lever at our disposal to resist this power grab and get (DHS Sec. Kristi) Noem’s thugs hell out of Chicago,” Pritzker said in a Monday afternoon press conference. He also said several times that Texas troops should, “stay the hell out of Illinois.”

Over the weekend, Oct. 4, Border Patrol agents were conducting a patrol in Chicago when their vehicle was rammed by other vehicles and they were boxed in by 10 cars, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) statement.

Trump declares war on Mexico’s cartels as unlawful combatants– www.theblaze.com

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump has finally named the enemy: Mexican drug cartels. Declaring them unlawful combatants and recognizing a “non-international armed conflict” marks one of the most consequential national security shifts in modern history.

For decades, Washington treated cartel violence as a crime — a problem for prosecutors, not generals. Indictments were filed, assets seized, and sanctions imposed. But the cartels fought a different kind of war, one that combined terror, intelligence, and territorial control. Calling it “crime” guaranteed defeat.

We refused to define the cartels as belligerents — and fought the wrong fight.

According to the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project, Mexico ranks among the world’s most violent conflict zones — behind only Palestine, Myanmar, and Syria. It is also the second-most dangerous country for civilians. Those numbers are not from a failed state overseas. They come from our southern border, where cartel wars spill into American communities daily.

New Jersey Democrat gubernatorial candidate Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) vowed Monday to take President Donald Trump to court if his administration sends National Guard troops to the Garden State to crack down on crime.

Sherrill, who represents New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District, made the comments during a Univision 41 Nueva York town hall.

She was asked by an audience member what she would do if Trump deployed federal troops to tackle crime.

The man who asked the question said his family had fled Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro’s socialist regime.

Sherrill promised an immediate legal fight.

“American troops should not be on the streets of our country,” Sherrill said.

 

Chicago mayor creates ‘ICE-free zones’ meant to impede federal agents — White House fires off brutal response– www.theblaze.com

Excerpt:

 

The Democratic mayor of Chicago is trying to shut down deportation operations by creating “ICE-free zones,” but the White House doesn’t appear to respect the decision much.

Mayor Brandon Johnson made the announcement establishing the zones in a media briefing Monday. The Trump administration has put Chicago and its sanctuary-city policies in its crosshairs.

‘This is SICK. He is aiding and abetting criminal illegal immigrant killers, rapists, traffickers, and gang bangers.’

“Today we are signing an executive order aimed at reining in this out-of-control administration,” Johnson said. “The order establishes ICE-free zones. That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as staging grounds for these raids.”

He went on to say that the city would take further steps to stop federal operations if Immigration and Customs Enforcement escalated its efforts.

White House Notches Significant Court Victory On ‘Sanctuary City’ Funding– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

A federal judge in Massachusetts denied a request for an injunction sought by two “sanctuary cities” in the state — Chelsea and Somerville — that sought to bar the Trump Administration from withholding federal funds due to their support for illegal aliens.

Somerville and Chelsea had requested a preliminary injunction in June, arguing that the targeting of cities and towns over their “sanctuary” policies — which openly defy federal immigration law by barring local authorities from working with immigration agents — is unconstitutional and at odds with advice from local law enforcement, according to a report from the Boston Herald.

The cities have also claimed that if the federal government withheld funds while their legal challenges were ongoing, there would be “irreparable harm” to municipal services.

U.S. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton indicated that he was not buying those arguments when he denied the request for an injunction on Friday. In his Judge Gorton noted that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) “has not frozen any particular funding, denied any grant application or withheld any reimbursement from plaintiffs.”

CAIR defends Muslims who graffitied Texas Church, claims it was protected speech | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com

Excerpt:

“We can and should condemn the vandalism of a house of worship without criminalizing speech.”

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has argued that prosecutors drop charges against three Muslims accused of vandalizing a Texas church, arguing the act was political expression protected by the First Amendment.

In 2024, three individuals were charged in connection with graffiti spray-painted on the wall of a non-denominational church in Euless, Texas. The act of vandalism was carried out after the church raised an Israeli flag following Hamas’ October 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel. The phrase “F*** Israel” was painted on the walls of the church along with pro-Palestinian stickers, all of which were captured on the church’s security cameras.

Three suspects, identified as Raqunaq Alam, Asfsheen Khan, and Julia Venzor, were initially charged with felony criminal mischief, but the charges were later increased to a third-degree felony hate crime because they targeted a church.

ICE Tops 1000 Arrests in Chicago as SCOTUS Gives Immigration Enforcement Win – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Excerpt:

The U.S. Supreme Court gave the Trump administration a win against mass amnesty as ICE Chicago topped more than 1000 arrests of illegal aliens in one of the most challenging and crime-infested sanctuary cities in America.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem came to Chicago to oversee enforcement action and its results as Operation Midway Blitz there continues at full force, despite resistance from state and local Democrat politicians. The arrested illegal aliens that Democrats are bewailing include pedophiles, kidnappers, gang members, child abusers, and armed robbers, according to a DHS press release.

Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin proudly highlighted the new numbers. “During Operation Midway Blitz, our brave DHS law enforcement has made more than 1,000 arrests across Illinois including of pedophiles, child abusers, kidnappers, gang members, and armed robbers,” she stated. “Our patriotic law enforcement officers are making these arrests despite working without pay because of the Democrats’ shutdown. President Trump and Secretary Noem will not allow continued violence or repeat offenders to terrorize our neighborhoods and victimize our children. Operation Midway Blitz is making Illinois safe again.”

Among the arrestees are Mexican illegals Rafael Alberto Tolentino Martinez, previously convicted of aggravated domestic battery of a three-year-old, and Marco Geronimo Ocampo, arrested before this for domestic battery, armed

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said officials blocked her and her team from entering an Illinois municipal building Friday for a bathroom break.

The secretary took to X to describe the incident at the Village of Broadview Municipal Building. “My team and I were just blocked from accessing the Village of Broadview Municipal Building in Illinois. We were stopping for a quick bathroom break. This is a public building. The Village of Broadview receives at least $1 million in federal funding every year,” Noem posted.

In a New Decision, Supreme Court Permits Trump to End Biden-Era Protections for Hundreds of Thousands of Venezuelans– conservativeroof.com

Excerpt:

The US Supreme Court on Friday allowed President Trump to end the Biden-era protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans.

The decision was 6-3. All three liberal justices dissented.

Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson fumed in her dissent. “I cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference with cases pending in the lower courts while lives hang in the balance, I dissent,” Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote. “We once again use our equitable power (but not our opinion-writing capacity) to allow this Administration to disrupt as many lives as possible, as quickly as possible,” Jackson added.

NBC reported:

The Supreme Court on Friday paved the way for the Trump administration to revoke temporary legal status for up to 600,000 Venezuelan immigrants, meaning some could ultimately be deported.

The court granted an emergency request filed by the Trump administration seeking to block a judge’s ruling that said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem failed to follow the correct process in revoking Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans.

The Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, in May granted an earlier emergency request filed by the Trump administration in the same case.

The latest filing came after California-based U.S. District Judge Edward Chen on Sept. 5 again ruled against the administration, this time in the form of a final decision rather than a preliminary one.

The U.S. military carried out another strike targeting a purported Venezuelan drug smuggling boat on Friday morning off the country’s coast, killing four people, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said.

The secretary added that U.S. intelligence confirmed “without a doubt” that the vessel “was trafficking narcotics, the people onboard were narco-terrorists, and they were operating on a known narco-trafficking transit route,” though he did not provide details of that evidence.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem and several other federal officials were denied access to a taxpayer-funded federal building for a bathroom break in Illinois.

Tensions have continued to flare between protestors and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Chicago and its environs.

However, a scene that unfolded in suburban Broadview, Illinois, made headlines due to the abject pettiness it embodied for many.

As Breitbart reports, staffers at a municipal building in Broadview prevented Noem from entering the premises in order to use the bathroom facilities therein, a denial that was caught on video.

Highlighting what occurred, Noem took to X to describe her experience, also using the incident to underscore her disdain for Democrat Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and his vocal opposition to the Trump administration’s activities within his state.

“My team and I were just blocked from accessing the Village of Broadview Municipal Building in Illinois,” Noem wrote.

After Emergency Meeting, U.S. District Judge Blocks Trump’s Request to Deploy More California National Guard Troops to Portland– conservativeroof.com

Excerpt:

US District Judge Karin Immergut held an emergency hearing Sunday evening after President Trump circumvented her previous order halting troop deployment to Portland.

Last weekend, President Trump authorized troops to Portland, Oregon, and other Democrat-run cities to protect ICE agents from Antifa terrorists and other radical far-left groups.

“At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump previously said on Truth Social.

Right on cue, Democrat-run Oregon sued the Trump Administration to stop the deployment of troops.

Judge Immergut, on Saturday, blocked President Trump’s National Guard deployment to Portland.

Illegal alien’s New York commercial driver’s license reads: ‘No Name Given’– www.americanthinker.com

Excerpt:

It has come to light that the state of New York recently issued a commercial driver’s license to a migrant and didn’t even require him to provide a first (or middle) name. The CDL read “No Name Given” in place of the name(s).

The nearly nameless “identification” was discovered during a raid in Oklahoma that also identified 125 illegal immigrants. Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt’s office released a statement reading: “During the operation, OHP (Oklahoma Highway Patrol) encountered numerous commercial truck drivers operating with licenses issued by sanctuary states, including one license listing ‘No Name Given.’”

The statement added: “These individuals posed a public safety risk by operating 80,000-pound commercial vehicles without proper verification.”

The New York Department of Motor Vehicles subsequently confirmed that the license was indeed real. New York DMV spokesman Walter McLure also issued a statement in which he noted, “It is not uncommon for individuals from other countries to have only one name.”

Maybe so. If you’re Beyoncé, Madonna, Sting, Pelé, Prince, or Plato.

Federal immigration officers came under violent attack from armed leftists in suburban Chicago, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said on X that agents in Broadview were “rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars” during routine patrols on Saturday.

Unable to move, the agents exited their vehicles and encountered one of the drivers armed with a semi-automatic weapon.

“Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots,” McLaughlin said.

The armed driver was identified in a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intelligence bulletin just last week for allegedly doxxing agents online and inciting violence against them.

The driver was wounded and transported to a hospital.

McLaughlin stressed that no federal officers were seriously injured in the ambush.

After Embracing Mass Migration, Europe’s Collapse Was Inevitable– thefederalist.com

There are significant consequences that come with importing masses of foreign nationals from cultures incompatible with Western Civilization. Yet, Europeans seem content with learning this lesson the hard way.

On Thursday, the United Kingdom experienced a tragic terror attack when 35-year-old Jihad Al-Shamie allegedly rammed his truck into a crowd at a Manchester synagogue before getting out and stabbing Jewish congregants. Al-Shamie is of Syrian descent and became a British citizen in 2006 after entering the country as a young child, according to Fox News.

The attack — which occurred on the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur — left two people dead and three injured. As later acknowledged by Manchester Police, however, at least one death and one injury were caused by gunfire from law enforcement.

U.K. authorities have “arrested three other people in connection with the attack: two men in their 30s and one woman in her 60s,” according to the Washington Examiner.

The memo provides the justification for treating suspected drug smugglers spotted on the high seas as “unlawful enemy combatants,” who can be killed on sight, instead of criminals subject to arrest and prosecution.

US Treasury sanctions Sinaloa cartel faction Los Mayos in Mexico– abcnews.go.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

MEXICO CITY — The U.S. Treasury Department on Thursday sanctioned members of a Sinaloa cartel faction known as Los Mayos, one of the groups that has tormented Sinaloa’s capital in an ongoing war for control.

The move came on the same day that U.S. Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence John K. Hurley is visiting Mexico, and after the Trump administration designated the Sinaloa cartel as a terrorist group earlier this year.

Hurley is meeting with Mexican authorities and business leaders to discuss strategies for combating drug trafficking, cartel operations and illicit financing. The U.S. Treasury Department said in a statement that the official’s main message will be that the department “will not allow Mexico-based drug cartels to access the U.S. financial system.”

It’s part of an ongoing effort by the Trump administration to crack down on cartels. In addition to pressuring Mexico’s government to more aggressively pursue the criminal groups, the administration has also doled out rounds of sanctions to cartel leaders, banks it alleged facilitated money transfers for cartels and a rapper accused of laundering money for the groups.

A law enforcement surge has taken a toll on children of immigrants in Washington schools– abcnews.go.com

Excerpt:

WASHINGTON — The last time she saw her husband, the father of her three children, was when he left their Washington apartment a month ago to buy milk and diapers. Before long he called to say he had been pulled over — but not to worry, because it was just local police. The next time she heard from him, he was at a detention center in Virginia.

Since that day, the 40-year-old mother of three has been too afraid to take her two sons to their nearby charter school. Like her husband, who has since been deported, she is an immigrant from Guatemala and has lived in the U.S. illegally for more than a decade. She spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear she would be targeted by immigration authorities.

All three of the couple’s children were born in the nation’s capital, and the older two attend a local charter school. She planned to keep them home until a volunteer offered to drive them. Still, one of the boys was so upset over his father’s absence he missed three days of school one week.

Schools in Washington reopened late last month against the backdrop of a law enforcement surge that brought masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents into normally quiet neighborhoods, scenes likely to be replicated elsewhere as President Donald Trump dispatches federal agents to the streets of other big cities.
