Pop quiz. During which Trump administration did the following happen? ICE has been targeting the home of immigrant children, mothers, and families in California, leading one critic to say the raids “go against our nation’s fundamental values of equality and justice for all.” Another said, “How then could America say it’s OK to send parents of children away? What value system is that? I think it’s un-American.” The American Immigration Council said that “ICE raids have left children without parents and feeling abandoned, separated nursing babies from their mothers, separated pregnant wives from their husbands, and compelled local communities and organizations to scramble to address child welfare crises in their wake.”

Selective outrage by democrats, it's all political theater. They have nothing to run on and no ideas, so they have to manufacture something to rally their dim-witted base around.

What's the alternative, keep them all here and take care of them for life while leaving the borders open so they can bring in their extended families? American taxpayers would be working their entire careers to support the rest of the world. Democrats would be elected now and forever if we were that stupid.

The democrats know their voters will believe any and all nonsense they are told. I just wonder if their voters realize they are considered to be "useful idiots" to the party they support. Maybe at some level they do know but don't care. These voters bear responsibility for believing the crap their party spews especially since they have no desire to discover the truth.

I live in rural Idaho and on 10/19 there was a raid regarding an illegal horse-racing, animal fighting, and a gambling enterprise operation. According to the FBI SLC field office, about 200 law enforcement personnel from federal, state and local agencies were involved (State police, County Sheriff, DEA and FBI). It is rumored that 100 ICE agents were there; ICE arrested 105 illegal aliens.

In reality illegal aliens without known criminal records that come into Border Patrol or ICE custody are most times allowed to almost immediately depart from the USA under grants of what is called voluntary departure in lieu of formally being ordered deported by an immigration judge. Any in custody illegal alien who notifies the Federal immigration authorities that he or she has minor children in the USA who he or she wishes that the children depart with them would be allowed to do so. Any illegal alien who refuses a grant of voluntary departure will be granted a deportation hearing before an immigration judge and will be under a final order of deportation before being actually deported from the USA. Known close family groups, illegal alien spouses and children, are always removed from the USA together. What the media has not been explaining as that under the Federal immigration laws about 1.8 million legal immigrants a year are lawfully allowed to enter the USA as permanent residents, commonly called green card holders, for as long as they obey both the US criminal and immigration laws and do not render themselves to be deportable aliens.

Some vendors tried to flee, with some seen running and falling as agents closed in, according to WABC.

In New Mexico, it’s almost impossible to prove voter fraud. No proof of citizenship is required to register to vote, and no voter ID is required for in-person voting. For absentee voting, no photo ID is required to obtain an absentee ballot, no copy of a photo ID need be included with the returned absentee ballot, and there is no signature verification of the signature on the returned inner envelope. Why does New Mexico have such slipshod laws? You can thank the Democrat-controlled state Legislature that has had single-party rule for decades.

The rabbi of a prominent Manhattan synagogue slammed Zohran Mamdani as a “danger to the security of the New York Jewish community” — as he urged congregants to back Andrew Cuomo for mayor instead. “I believe Zohran Mamdani poses a danger to the security of the New York Jewish community,” Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove, of the renowned Park Avenue Synagogue on the Upper East Side, said during his Saturday sermon. He said Mamdani refuses to denounce the phrase “Globalize the Intifada,” denies Israel’s legitimacy as a Jewish state, has vowed to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and cited his “thrice-repeated accusations of genocide” against Israel in Gaza at last week’s mayoral debate.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told NBC News that he is “ready” to engage Russian strongman Vladimir Putin directly to negotiate an end to Russia’s invasion of his country, potentially at a proposed summit in Hungary, the state outlet Ukrinform reported on Sunday. Zelensky made the remarks following a visit to the White House and a one-on-one meeting with President Donald Trump on Friday. Trump stated during the engagement that, following the signing of a peace agreement to end the war in Gaza last week, he intends to focus America’s foreign policy on achieving a sustainable peace for Ukraine.

Nazzal, a member of the Hamas Politburo, defended public executions as “exceptional measures” for dealing with “criminals.” He denied accusations that Hamas was simply rounding up and killing its adversaries to keep power in Gaza, even though the ceasefire deal stipulated that Hamas would play no role in postwar administration.

In 1969, Muammar Gaddafi seized power using a successful coup against King Idris, while promising to modernize Libya. He styled himself as a revolutionary savior with a manic desire to shape global politics by blending Arab nationalism and Islamic socialism. Black gold made it possible. Using oil wealth to build free education, housing programs, and public works, Gaddafi also built one of the most repressive security states in the Arab world. Gaddafi's Libya was one of the sources of funds for terror groups from the IRA to the Abu Nidal Organization for decades. After Libya's involvement in the Berlin disco bombing in 1986, the U.S. bombed Tripoli and Benghazi,

An appeals court just ruled that President Donald Trump can deploy National Guard troops to violence-plagued Portland, Oregon. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland has been under near-constant siege for months, as Antifa, Trantifa, and other radical leftists violently harass and even assault agents and federal property. Trump wanted to send in military backup, and this time, the legal decision went his way.Forbes reported Monday: “A federal appeals court ruled Monday that President Donald Trump can send troops to Portland, Oregon, while litigation over their deployment moves forward, overturning a lower court that blocked Trump from his latest effort to use the military in Democratic-leaning cities.”

The Trump administration says it is cancelling student debt for millions of borrowers — a pivot from its previous moves to block some loan forgiveness plans. In an agreement with the American Federation of Teachers, the White House will again start processing student loan forgiveness for eligible borrowers in two income-driven repayment plans – Income-Contingent Repayment and Pay as You Earn – until they expire. President Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” is slated to phase out those two programs by July 1, 2028. They have over 2.5 million enrollees total, a higher ed expert estimated.

The Los Angeles Times noted that “fine print” in a 254-page bill known as SB 254 — a massive bill compared to most state legislation — lets Southern California Edison and other utilities charge consumers for wildfire damage that exceeds $21 billion,[snip] The legislation has revived concerns about the fact that Newsom and other politicians in the state have taken large campaign contributions from the utilities.

Indicted former FBI Director James Comey is seeking to have his criminal case dismissed on the grounds that he is the victim of selective prosecution because of President Trump’s disdain for him. Comey’s defense team filed a motion to dismiss Tuesday, arguing that the Trump administration’s false statements case is an unconstitutional abuse of power by the Trump administration. “Ample objective evidence—much of which comes directly from government officials’ own public statements and admissions—establishes that the government’s animus toward Mr. Comey led directly to this vindictive and selective prosecution,” Comey’s attorneys said in court papers. “The proper remedy for the government’s constitutional violations is a dismissal with prejudice.
