When it comes to the law, the anarchists believe that it does not apply to them. Case in point where a judge harbored an illegal in her chambers with the express intent of evading ICE.
Baraka, who is a Democratic primary candidate for New Jersey governor, was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents outside of the gates of the detention center operated by a private company, the GEO group. It came after repeated days of city officials and Baraka attempting to serve the group with violation notices for not cooperating with local code inspectors.
“As is true of every investigation this office handles, all available evidence will be thoroughly reviewed prior to making a determination on how to proceed,” acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba said.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said Friday protestors, including members of Congress, “stormed” the facility in a “bizarre political stunt” and that the facility isn’t in violation of any city codes.
Recordings by demonstrators and bystanders, as well as body cam video from ICE agents released by the Department of Homeland Security, show a chaotic scene.
Here’s what we know.
Baraka and a city fire official were at the facility earlier Friday morning around 7 a.m. to deliver summonses to the GEO Group and left. They’ve accused the group, which is contracted by ICE, of operating the 1,000-bed center in violation of city codes by refusing to grant access and failure to have an evacuation plan in place.
A 15-year-old illegal immigrant who killed a Colorado drug rehab worker in a high-speed crash in a residential neighborhood was given a slap on the wrist by a Democrat prosecutor, endorsed by several prominent party members.
The Colombian national juvenile, who cannot be named due to state law, was sentenced to two years of probation and 100 hours of community service for the July 2024 death of Kaitlyn Weaver.
Arapahoe County District Attorney Amy Padden offered the teen the plea deal if he admitted guilt in the deadly crash, promised to attend school and not break any more laws, CBS News Colorado reported.
The teen was racing his mother’s Jeep Cherokee at over 90 mph through a posted 45 mph street when he slammed into Weaver’s Volkswagen in Aurora, Colo.
Weaver was speaking with her boyfriend on speaker phone when she stopped at a stop sign, allowing a car to pass before she crossed into the intersection and was T-boned by the teen.
“She didn’t even see him coming,” the heartbroken father said. “That’s how fast he was going.”
The driver’s side of Weaver’s car was completely mangled in the crash.
Weaver spent two days in the hospital before her parents took her off life support and donated her organs to others in need.
The teen, who was also unlicensed to drive the car, had other kids in the car with him at the time of the deadly crash.
He was charged with vehicular homicide.
Colorado state law prohibits minors from being publicly identified in criminal court cases.
His mom told investigators she planned to move him back to Colombia, but the teen has since filed for asylum in the US, CBS reported.
Two leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel were hit with narco-terrorism charges on Tuesday for their involvement in allegedly trafficking “massive” amounts of drugs into the United States, according to federal officials.
Pedro Inzunza Noriega and his son, Pedro Inzunza Coronel, were both named in an unsealed federal indictment on Tuesday and charged with narco-terrorism, material support of terrorism, drug trafficking and money laundering as members of the Beltran Leyva Organization (BLO), which is a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel. Five other BLO leaders were charged with drug trafficking and money laundering.
A federal judge on Tuesday said the Trump administration can invoke the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) to deport criminal illegal immigrant members of the Venezuelan Tren De Aragua gang, but that it has not given adequate prior notice to those subject to removal, before those deportations can take place, which would allow possible due process and habeas legal challenges.
The 43-page ruling by U.S. District Judge Stephanie Haines, a Trump appointee, conflicts with other rulings challenging the administration’s deportation efforts.
“Having done its job, the Court now leaves it to the Political Branches of the government, and ultimately to the people who elect those individuals, to decide whether the laws and those executing them continue to reflect their will,” Haines wrote.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House.
Trump issued an executive order on March 14, “Invocation of the Alien Enemies Act Regarding the Invasion of the United States by Tren De Aragua.”
Tuesday’s ruling was confined to Venezuelan aliens who are not naturalized or lawful permanent residents, 14 years or older, and have been specifically designated as part of a Foreign Terrorist Organization, specifically Tren de Aragua.
Trump 47 is on the march, leader of the free world, causing catatonic reactions from trading partners, world leaders, and countries at war. Tariffs have blown-up the traditional rules of free trade. Trump has accepted the fact that the United States was on the road to bankrupty within a decade. The politician street kept pushing the can down the road.
World leaders have been analyzing the new world according Trump’s paradigm. What can they do to subvert this? We do not believe they can put a wrench in the gears of Trump’s world because the G-7 does not have the wherewithal to adversely affect the resulting calamity.. America is a buying country, Europe and Asia are producing countries.
Waring countries have been warned, America will stay out of the fray. We may provide arms, but to send our men to war is not in the cards. For instance Ukraine-Russia catastrophe which has been percolating for over three years. We have spent upwards of $300 largel, Europe, most likely more of the same. The resulting “special military operation” can last another three years without a resolution if a deal isn’t struck. One way or another, a deal must be made, if not, you are looking at WW3.
India-Pakistan, will the nuclear button be pressed? These neighbors are like a galatial plate, moving slowly, but a volcanic eruption maybe in the offing. Israel-Hamas, is a conflict like no other, been going on for decades. Gaza has been blown to smitherines, weapons supplied by Iran. How much more can Israel take before they launch the mother of all bombs on the Iranian nuclear facilities, airforce, and ports? It will come sooner than later, including the Houthis in Yemen.
We haven’t mentioned China, but they are a worldwide troublemaker. They have defied the International court’s decision concerning the Spratly Islands. They have bullied other nations of their choosing, slowly taking over Latin America through their “silk road initiative.”
Tuesday is a big day, it looms large for the Middle East and the world, as Trump is welocmed by the Saudis with Open Arms.
He heads to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates as he looks to strengthen ties between the U.S. and the three key Middle Eastern nations.
Set to leave Tuesday night, Trump’s trip comes amid instability both in the region and around the globe, which includes the war in Gaza and ongoing fighting in Yemen.
“Eight years ago, President Trump’s first trip was to this same region of the world where he introduced his bold peace-through-strength foreign policy strategy. On that trip, the president laid out his goal of eradicating terrorism and extremism in the region, which he successfully accomplished over the course of his administration with the total defeat of ISIS and the historic signing of the Abraham Accords,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Friday.
Other potential discussion topics include oil, semiconductor production and trade.
This is Trump’s second foreign trip of his second term. He visited the Vatican to attend Pope Francis’s funeral April 26.
Lunatic PERVS tried in vain to break into an ICE facility in the Garden State. They didn’t make it too far, and were arrested for trespassing a Federal facility. We are talking about third world criminals here. They need to spend time in the iron bar for life. They are Anarchists. Throw away the key.
The FBI has launched an investigation into James’s trickery, lying on mortgage applications, pulling a scam as AG of the Empire State. We will soon see her wrapped in chains – no S&M here, but dragged off to prison in an Orange Jumpsuit. Her cell mates still have a beef with her, and there is no doubt she will receive a welcoming party, in spades.
The Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James, Fox News has learned.
A source familiar with the matter confirmed that a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia sent out subpoenas related to accusations that James misrepresented a single-family home in Virginia as her primary residence to obtain more favorable loan terms.
News of the federal probe follows a criminal referral from the Trump administration’s Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte, who requested the DOJ investigate James over that matter and another incident in which she allegedly misrepresented the number of livable units in a multifamily Brooklyn house to once again obtain better loan terms.
“These baseless and long-discredited allegations, put to rest by my April 24 letter to the Department of Justice, are suddenly back in the news just days after President Trump publicly attacked Attorney General James,” James’ attorney, Abbe Lowell, said Thursday.
“This appears to be the political retribution President Trump threatened to exact that AG Bondi assured the Senate would not occur on her watch. If prosecutors are genuinely interested in the truth, we are prepared to meet false claims with facts.”
After Pulte’s criminal referral was sent to the Justice Department, specifically U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, Lowell followed up with his own letter to Bondi and the Justice Department, accusing the president of seeking “political retribution.”
James has been part of a group of Democratic attorneys general who have sued to halt many of Trump’s orders during his first few months in the Oval Office.
Additionally, James was the lead prosecutor in a case she brought against Trump and the Trump Organization that alleged the president, while he was a candidate, falsified business records to obtain more favorable loan terms. He was ultimately ordered by a judge to pay hundreds of millions, but is still appealing the ruling.
Iran is crumbling: The Islamic Republic’s final days are upon us – opinion
For the Islamic Republic of Iran, a ‘great storm’ is coming – a convergence of economic despair, massive military defeats, internal disillusionment, and a US maximum pressure campaign.
By DANIEL M. ROSENMAY 7, 2025 01:13
After over four decades of tyranny, terror sponsorship, and revolutionary expansionism, the Islamic Republic of Iran may finally be approaching its end.
Just a year ago, Iran seemed stronger than ever, but now the winds have changed dramatically and the regime is collapsing under the weight of both its internal contradictions as well as a confluence of outside forces.
The pieces are aligning for what can only be called a “great storm” – a convergence of economic despair, massive military defeats, internal disillusionment, and a maximum pressure campaign by the US. What had been talked about in the past as only as
Since the revolution took hold in 1979, the Iranian regime has maintained its power not by uplifting its people but by exporting violence abroad and enforcing repression at home.
Billions for terror
Over the past decade alone, Iran has poured an estimated $60-80 billion into supporting terrorist groups and proxy militias such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, Shi’ite militias in Iraq, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza, and propping up the regime in Syria
This “ring of fire” strategy was designed to encircle Israel and threaten US interests across the Middle East, allowing Iran to claim the mantle of leadership in the Islamic world. The one argument Iran could make to both its supporters and detractors was that it was spending and sacrificing for a greater “good,” to hasten Islam’s supremacy over other religions and defeat its “enemies” (the US and Israel).
But in recent months, that strategy has shattered and proven to be an utter failure. The average supporter of the regime is confronted with a series of questions: Was the sacrifice worth it? And how to support a regime that has failed so dramatically? Without the support of their constituencies, the Iranian regime will not be able to withstand all of the abovementioned pressures.
There are four factors at play. The discontent among an estimated 80% of the population within Iran, the demoralization of its core constituency that make up the other 20%, Israel’s impact on Iran militarily, and the US’s strategy of maximum pressure.
Rotting internally
Internally, Iran is rotting. Inflation is over 40%, and the national currency – the rial – has lost over 90% of its value in the past decade. The World Bank estimates that more than 50% of Iranians now live below the poverty line, with unemployment rates among youth reaching over 27%. Basic goods like water and electricity are limited, and meat, medicine, and fuel are either unaffordable or unavailable.
These dire conditions have sparked repeated waves of nationwide protests, with the 2022 “Woman, Life, Freedom” movement marking a turning point. Young Iranians – particularly women – have shed their fear of the regime’s brutality.
Israel’s successful dismantling of Iranian proxy capabilities in Syria, Gaza, and Lebanon, in conjunction with Iran’s inability to prevent severe retaliation after its April 2024 missile attack, has exposed the regime’s strategic weakness. Billions of dollars have been flushed down the toilet, and it has been exposed as the true paper tiger.
Maximum pressure
The return of the Trump administration and the reimposition of the “maximum pressure campaign” is choking Iran economically and politically. The proof of the campaign’s success is that Iran is currently negotiating with its sworn enemy, the US, under the pretext of Iran dismantling their nuclear capabilities. As a point of reference, in President Donald Trump’s first term, Iran’s oil exports plummeted from over 2.5 million barrels per day to under 300,000, and the regime lost an estimated $200 billion in revenue.
The conditions today are ripe for an overthrow of the current government. The situation is categorically different than at any point in the last 40 years. The Iranian regime is now a fractured ruling elite, drained of credibility, facing off against a nation that is both fed up and demoralized.
The discontent is no longer isolated to liberals, students, or ethnic minorities. Even traditional regime supporters, especially within the lower-income and rural base, are turning. Their loyalty was tied to the promise of religious purpose and national dignity. With that illusion broken, their tolerance for suffering has evaporated.
The next two years could be decisive. The end of the Iranian regime is no longer just a dream; it’s becoming an imminent reality.
Trump will soon pull the plug on Ukraine, enough is enough. Ukraine has subsisted on U.S. support with the British providing supplimentary support across the pond. The future is bleak for Ukraine unless the come to the table. However, as we have seen before, the Ukrainians are a tough lot. Will they be able to cause Russia to come to the table? The only avenue Ukraine has is to launch a TET Offense type operation, one where they rain down bombs, misiles and rockets on numerous Russian cities all at once. Perhaps then Russia will realize the cost of continuing their “Special Military Operation.”
On the other hand, Israel will have to drop the big one on the Iranian’s nuclear complex. Currently, Israel is in discussions with their higher brass, laying out the mission. Will the U.S. help by providing their Bunker Buster- 30,000 pound – monster? That is all they need to take out Iran’s nuclear complex for good. The world will wake up one morning to discover that the Ayatollah, his henchmen and the nuclear facility will be no more. Then the Iranian people will be free for the first time since Jimmy Carter caved to the mullahs.
The Houthis, an arm of the Iranian Ayatollah, has seen their airport hit by Israel. The United States got into the fray by raining missiles, bombs and other armaments from their airforce. In all 50 aircraft participated in the carpet bombing. Such a disaster to them they sent a message to Trump, stop the strikes on Houthis in Yemen and we will not attack your ships in the Red Sea.
CNN —
President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that the US would “stop the bombings” against the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group in Yemen, after the Houthis told the US that “they don’t want to fight anymore.”
“We will honor that, and we will stop the bombings,” Trump said from the Oval Office, sitting next to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. He was referring to the military campaign the US has been carrying out against the Houthis since mid-March in response to the group’s attacks on shipping lanes in the Red Sea and on Israel.
“They have capitulated, but more importantly, we will take their word … they say they will not be blowing up ships anymore,” Trump
s
A defense official confirmed to CNN that the US military had been instructed on Monday night to stand down on the strikes against the Houthis.
“Following recent discussions and contacts conducted by the Sultanate of Oman with the United States and the relevant authorities in Sana’a, in the Republic of Yemen, with the aim of de-escalation, efforts have resulted in a ceasefire agreement between the two sides,” Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi said on X.
In his remarks in the Oval Office, Trump instructed his secretary of state and interim national security adviser, Marco Rubio, to “let everybody know.” Rubio described the understanding as “an important development.”
“This was always a freedom of navigation issue. These are a band of individuals with advanced weaponry that were threatening global shipping, and the job was to get that to stop,” Rubio said.
However, during all this turmoil, the Houthis have not left Israel off the hook. So as night comes after day, they will continue to rain down on Israel. We await the next phase where Israel has no option but to take out the Houthis for good.
