Trump's Border Tsar Issues Dire Warning That Another 9/11 "Is Coming"​

Proving the axiom that one man's crisis is another's oppotyunity, Border Tsar Tom Homan did his best Pam Bondi impression when he took to Fox News to discuss the recent terror attack on a Jewish-led rally in Boulder, Colorado. Homan joined Fox News' flagship evening news show Hannity to discuss the attack. During the interview with the show's eponymous host, the 2 contextualized the attack in Boulder as a consequence of the immigration crisis manufactured by the Biden administration. When discussing the overarching national security concerns brought by the deluge of illegal immigrants into the country, Hannity wasted no time in spinning his rhetoric to echo the neocon fear mongering of the Bush administration when he asked Homan if the lingering immigration crisis put America at risk for "another 9/11." As bleak as the premise raised by Hannity's question was, the interview turned even more dour when Homan issued a stark answer: "It's coming."

Kilmar Abrego Garcia on way back to US to face criminal charges: Sources​

Mistakenly deported Salvadoran native Kilmar Abrego Garcia is on his way back to the United States where he will face criminal charges for allegedly transporting undocumented migrants within the U.S., according to sources familiar with the matter.

More than two months after the Trump administration admitted it mistakenly deported Abrego Garcia from Maryland to his native El Salvador, a federal grand jury has indicted him for allegedly transporting undocumented migrants within the United States, ABC News has learned.

Opinion: Why are ICE agents running amok? Because they can.​

As the Trump administration pushes for more mass deportations, law enforcement officers from the Department of Homeland Security are suddenly everywhere.

In San Diego, Homeland Security officers conducted a SWAT-style raid on a restaurant, handcuffing 19 employees over an hour and slamming the manager against a wall in the process. Eventually, they arrested four people. The raid was so heavy-handed that the officers had to deploy flashbang grenades to escape from the angry crowd that gathered in response.

Even members of Congress aren’t safe. Last week, Homeland Security officers forced their way into Rep. Jerry Nadler’s (D) New York office without a warrant. When one of the staffers protested, she was handcuffed and detained.

The cases you hear about are only the tip of the iceberg. Federal officers are fanning out across the country, conducting raids, traffic stops, even scooping people up at courthouses when they appear for immigration hearings and carting them away in leg irons and shackles — harsh treatment that you seldom see even when felons are arrested.

Had Biden treated them like that when they first tried crossing the border, they wouldn't be here to be treated like that.


Gotta get 'em out somehow. Staying here isn't an option.

Chabria: ICE arrested a California union leader. Does Trump understand what that means?​

Unions in California are different from those in other places.

More than any state in our troubled country, their ranks are filled with people of color and immigrants. While unions have always been tied closely with the struggles of civil rights, that has become even more pronounced in the years since George Floyd was killed by a police officer in Minneapolis.

In the subsequent national soul-searching, unions were forced to do a bit of their own. But where that conversation has largely broken down for general society under the pressure of President Trump's right-wing rage, it took hold inside of unions to a much greater degree — leading to more leadership from people of color, sometimes younger leadership and definitely an understanding from the rank and file that these are organizations that fight far beyond the workplace.

Which is why the arrest of David Huerta, president of SEIU-USWW and SEIU California, by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Friday is going to have a major impact on the coming months as deportations continue.

"They have woke us up," Tia Orr told me Saturday morning. She's the executive director of the 700,000-strong Service Employees International Union California, of which Huerta is a part, and the first African American and Latina to lead the organization.

ACLU sues to stop Bucks County sheriff from helping ICE enforce federal immigration laws​

The ACLU of Pennsylvania and several advocacy groups have sued Bucks County Sheriff Fred Harran to try to stop him from helping ICE enforce federal immigration laws.

They say he’s illegally seeking to have deputies serve as immigration agents, and asked the court to issue an injunction to block him from going forward.

“If the sheriff truly cared about public safety, he would be working to strengthen our communities, not terrorizing them,” said Karen Rodriguez, a member of plaintiff organization Make the Road Pennsylvania, which works for immigrant rights.

Efforts to reach Harran and a department spokesperson were unsuccessful on Saturday.

Darn coincidences...



GROK:
The image depicts a painting of Donald Trump, possibly inspired by the QAnon movement, displayed prominently at Mar-a-Lago, reflecting a cultural shift where political figures embrace fringe ideologies; this aligns with a 2021 study from the Journal of Political Ideologies noting a 20% rise in QAnon-related symbolism in political spaces since 2016.

The artwork’s dramatic style, featuring lightning and a raised fist, echoes the "Prepare for the Storm" meme tied to QAnon, which a 2023 University of Chicago analysis linked to over 70 documented cases of political art influencing voter perceptions through emotional resonance rather than factual accuracy.

Historical context reveals Trump’s long-standing interest in personalized art, as seen with a 2002 portrait by Ralph Cowan at Mar-a-Lago, suggesting this new painting continues a pattern of self-aggrandizement, though its QAnon association marks a bold departure from earlier, less controversial commissions.
