“Damn Right” – LA Mayor Karen Bass Vows to Lead Resistance Against Immigration Agents During World Cup

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is promising to lead a resistance against federal immigration agents during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. 

Los Angeles is set to host eight World Cup matches, including the US Men’s National Team’s opening match next Friday.

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents will be working alongside the FBI and local police to manage crowds and stop crimes such as human trafficking and drug smuggling.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated in a recent video posted to ICE’s official X account that agents will “be out there every day” during the World Cup matches.

ICE Keeps Finding the Criminals Democrats Pretend Don’t Exist

ICE agents arrested more criminal illegal aliens over the Memorial Day period and days after, including men convicted or charged in cases involving murder, child sexual abuse, sexual battery, robbery, burglary, drug trafficking, and violent assault. From DHS:

Yesterday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested more public safety threats across the country, including those convicted for murder, sexual battery, sodomy, and aiding and abetting burglary.

“Yesterday, while ICE law enforcement arrested murderers, sexual deviants and burglars, anti-ICE rioters assaulted our federal law enforcement,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “Instead of thanking our brave ICE law enforcement for removing the worst of the worst from our communities, sanctuary politicians continue spreading garbage about ICE facilities and political theatre. These types of smears are contributing to our law enforcement officers facing a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them as they arrest the worst of the worst.” 

President Donald Trump, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, and ICE field officers have made the priority plain: find the worst offenders first, remove them from American neighborhoods, and stop pretending immigration enforcement begins and ends at the border.

These names matter because the crimes are horrific. 

Carlos Sanchez-Benitez of El Salvador had a conviction for second-degree vehicular manslaughter. Lauro Javier-Miron-Tapia of Mexico had a conviction for lewd acts with a child under 14. Daniel Alexis Casasola-Rivera of Mexico also had a conviction for lewd acts with a child under 14. Nun Hawi Tuam of Myanmar had a conviction for aggravated sexual battery. Franklin William Orellana-Maya of Honduras had a sexual assault conviction.

None of those records fit the soft-focus story told by politicians who turn every ICE arrest into a sob story about enforcement run wild.

The list keeps going.

Yermy Hernandez-Castro of Honduras had a conviction for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Geovanny Gonzalez-Gonzalez of Nicaragua carried convictions for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Mario Zendejas-Gomez of Mexico faced charges that included fourth-degree assault, obstructing law enforcement, and violating a no-contact order.

These aren’t paperwork mistakes; they’re public safety threats with names, records, and victims.

ICE also named Miguel Sosa of Cuba, convicted of cocaine trafficking; Oriol Mora-Arroyo of Mexico, convicted of attempted trafficking of a schedule two controlled substance and carrying a concealed gun; Juan Flores-Archaga of Honduras, convicted of third-degree burglary; Jhonathan Perla-Bonilla of Honduras, charged with strong-arm robbery and burglary of an occupied conveyance; Alexei Marti-Martinez of Cuba, convicted of grand theft; and Pedro Wladimir Contreras-Perez of Ecuador, convicted of larceny and licensing violation.

For families living near repeat offenders, “targeted enforcement” means officers finally showing up before another victim gets added to the file.

Lauren Bis serves as acting assistant secretary for public affairs, and DHS has used her statements to explain ICE’s arrests of violent offenders, sex offenders, and drug criminals. ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operation handles the fieldwork that puts handcuffs on fugitives and convicted criminals.

Enforcement doesn’t happen by magic; policy starts at the top, and agents carry it into the streets.

Publicly Funded Teachers Unions Join Newark Anti-ICE Protests as the Left MOBILIZES Against Trump’s Immigration Enforcement Agenda

Anti-ICE protests in Newark, New Jersey, are exposing a much larger problem than opposition to one detention facility. The demonstrations show how organized left-wing groups, labor activists and even teachers unions are joining forces to fight President Trump’s immigration agenda.

On the latest episode of The Patriot Perspective, the hosts discussed the protests outside the Newark ICE facility and the broader movement behind them. 

The concern is not simply that activists are protesting. Americans have a right to protest. The concern is that these demonstrations appear to be part of a larger political machine designed to pressure law enforcement, defend illegal immigration and undermine the Trump administration’s deportation efforts.

One of the most concerning developments is the involvement of teachers unions.

Teachers unions are supposed to represent educators and focus on schools, classrooms and students. 

Instead, union activists increasingly appear at protests that have nothing to do with education. Their presence at anti-ICE demonstrations shows how far these organizations have moved away from their original purpose and how deeply they have become involved in partisan politics.

That should concern every parent in America.

Public schools across the country face serious problems. Students are struggling with reading and math. Discipline problems have increased in many classrooms. Parents are frustrated with ideological curriculum, failing schools and education bureaucracies that resist reform.

Former Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent Sentenced to Two Years for Falsely Claiming to be a Citizen and Illegal Firearm Possession, Will be Deported to Guyana After Serving Time

Former Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent Ian Andre Roberts, a citizen of Guyana who illegally lived and worked in the United States for over two decades, has been sentenced to two years in federal prison for falsely claiming to be a citizen on official employment forms and illegally possessing multiple firearms while unauthorized to even be here.

After serving his sentence, with credit for roughly eight months already spent in custody, Roberts will be immediately turned over to ICE and deported back to Guyana.

The illegal alien ran Iowa’s largest school district, serving 30,000 students, from July 2023 until his ICE arrest on September 26 of last year.

Before that, Roberts was superintendent of the Millcreek Township School District in Erie, Pennsylvania, the second largest in Erie County, overseeing thousands more American children.

Roberts entered the U.S. in 1999 on a student visa, which expired in 2004.

NBC News reports:

Roberts became the first Black educator to helm Des Moines Public Schools when he was hired in 2023 to lead the district of about 30,000 students.

After submitting a Social Security card and a driver’s license as verifying documents, Roberts stated he was a U.S. citizen in his application to the state board of educational examiners, which issued him a professional administrator license in 2023, the district said.

Before the sentencing, Roberts’ lawyers confirmed that was not true.

“Dr. Roberts made a fatal mistake when he completed an I-9 to work with Des Moines Public Schools … falsely affirming he was a United States citizen,” his lawyers wrote in a 173-page brief to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa.

When agents went to arrest him, Roberts attempted to flee.

California Program Gives Free Solar Panels to Illegal Aliens

A California climate change program has spent $49 million to hand out free solar panels to illegal migrant homeowners, a shocking report revealed.

The Farmworker Housing Component of the Low-Income Weatherization Program is one of the state’s many climate change initiatives, and this one is aimed at farm workers — including those who are in the U.S. illegally, according to City Journal researcher and writer Christopher Rufo and his co-author Austen Hufford.

The program is part of California’s multibillion-dollar cap-and-trade system which “taxes carbon producers and redistributes approximately $3 billion per year to energy programs and left-wing social causes — all under the banner of fighting ‘climate change,’” the two wrote.

Rufo and Hufford found that California has spent about $49 million on the program to hand out free solar panels to recipients, some of whom are illegal aliens.

The company that runs the program is called Nonprofit La Cooperativa Campesina de California. La Cooperativa then partnered with MAROMA Energy Services, which describes itself as “minority owned.” These two have contracted out the installations of said solar panels.

As Rufo and Hufford note:

These organizations have heavily advertised the program to California’s nearly 900,000 agricultural workers, half to three-quarters of whom are illegal immigrants. In its official documentation, California’s Department of Community Services and Development acknowledges that non-citizens are eligible for the program and that they even accept identification from foreign governments.

In a Spanish-language radio broadcast, Natalie Velores, a program manager for MAROMA, confirmed that participants do not need “legal status” in the United States and can use a matrìcula consular, a common form of identification that the Mexican consulate provides to migrants who have crossed the border, to apply.

These companies confirmed that legal citizenship is not required to be afforded the free solar panels.

The providers also mounted an extensive information drive by sending representatives out into the farm worker communities across the state to let them know how to get their free solar power systems.

But, while a ton of cash has been spent on this program, only 2,000 families have been the recipients of the free solar systems to date.

“That means the State of California has allocated roughly $23,000 per household for its program to provide free solar panels, refrigerators, and other services — a number that raises serious concerns about financial accountability,” Ruffo and Hufford wrote.

Finally, it appears that at least one politically connected activist is at the center of these groups that are reaping millions from the state. The man, Mauricio Blanco, “worked as a project manager for La Cooperativa Campesina de California, which has been awarded at least $10.7 million by the state; is currently listed as an executive of MAROMA Energy Services, which has been granted nearly $34 million from La Cooperativa for ‘weatherization’ services since 2017; and is CEO of John Harrison Contracting, a firm that appears to have done much of the solar installation work.”

Illegal Deported THREE Times Allegedly Brutally Murders a Young Mother, a Loving Grandmother and a Two-Week Old Baby

On May 29, 2026, in Modesto, California, Joaquin Escoto, 28, a Mexican national and illegal immigrant, was arrested and charged with three counts of murder.

He allegedly stabbed to death Fabiola Gonzalez, 23, a devoted mother, her own mother, and loving grandmother Silvia Nuñez, 54, and Fabiola’s 2-week-old infant son, Mateo Gonzalez.

A surviving child of approximately  4 years old was found in the home and taken into custody by Child Protective Services.

According to The California Post, California’s controversial state sanctuary law obstructed federal authorities who sought to deport him.

The New York Post reports:

On the day of Escoto’s DUI arrest in June, which occurred in San Joaquin County, federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials requested to be notified of the Modesto resident’s release from jail so they could deport him again, according to the official.

But San Joaquin law enforcement officials hogtied by California’s contested sanctuary law failed to notify the feds, and Escoto was set free, the official said.

“Safe to say, California law prohibited the jail from complying,” said the official, who shared police documents that substantiated his claims with The Post.

Now, less than one year after that request from ICE agents was ignored, Escoto is being held without bail on three counts of murder in the grisly knife slaying in Modesto of an infant and two women, including one with whom he allegedly had a child, according to police.

A GoFundMe set up to help cover funeral expenses, shares:

Our family is experiencing a heartbreaking loss that words cannot adequately express.

On May 28, 2026, three beloved members of our family was taken from us: Silvia Nuñez, a loving grandmother whose kindness and strength touched everyone around her. Fabiola Gonzalez, a devoted mother, daughter, and loved one who brought joy and love to those fortunate enough to know her and baby Mateo Gonzalez, an innocent child whose life was taken far too soon.

The devastating circumstances surrounding this tragedy have left our family shattered. In a single moment, generations of love, memories, and dreams for the future were taken from us. As we grieve the loss of Silvia, Fabiola, and baby Mateo, we are trying to navigate the emotional and financial burdens that come with such an unimaginable tragedy.

Spanberger ripped over ignored ICE detainer after illegal alien with 18 prior charges accused of sex assault

An illegal alien with a lengthy criminal history has been arrested on sex crime charges in Virginia after a federal immigration enforcement detainer request could have seen him deported from the United States.

Cristobal Liobardo Vasquez-Sanchez, 25, a Salvadoran national, racked up 14 criminal charges this year alone before his May 22 arrest on charges of sexual battery and object sexual penetration by force. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said it had previously issued a detainer for Vasquez-Sanchez, but that request was denied.

At the direction of Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger, Virginia ended state agency cooperation with ICE and has demanded judicial warrants where immigration experts say such warrants are wholly irrelevant.

Just days before Vasquez-Sanchez’s alleged sexual assault, Spanberger issued an executive order adding further roadblocks for federal immigration officers to operate in the state.

Illegal Migrant from India Sentenced for Child Sex-Trafficking in Nebraska

Kavankumar Patel, an illegal migrant from India, has been sentenced to a ten-year prison term for participating in a child sex-trafficking ring in Omaha, Nebraska, the Department of Justice announced.

The 27-year-old native of Gujarat, India, was convicted on two counts of sex trafficking of a minor, and handed a ten-year sentence with no chance for parole, the DOJ said in a press release.

The DOJ added that he will be deported immediately upon completion of his sentence.

Police in Omaha had initially been contacted over a case of theft that Patel was allegedly involved in, but upon investigating that case, police realized that there was something more sinister going on. They brought in the Homeland Security Task Force and a joint investigation revealed two young girls, 15 and 16, who had been brought to an Omaha motel for sex.

The girls told investigators that they had been forced to allow hotel employees to have sex with them to get cheaper hotel rates. DOJ says that several hotel employees later admitted engaging in sex with the girls. Patel was one such employee and in court admitted that he schemed to “harbor, obtain, and maintain the minors in the hotel.”

Many U.S. hotels are owned or operated by Indians from the large Patel clan. This coast-to-coast Indian enclave also uses a large inflow of cheap-labor illegal migrants — mostly from India — who are believed to be more likely to facilitate other crimes, including prostitution and drug crimes.

United States Attorney Lesley Woods said:

The United States Attorney’s Office and our law enforcement partners will never tire of working as hard as we need to work to protect the most vulnerable victims in our communities. The Homeland Security Task Force rescued these children from a living nightmare, and anyone with knowledge or suspicion of human trafficking in our communities should reach out to state or federal law enforcement immediately to report those concerns and to be part of the effort to free all of Nebraska’s victims of human trafficking.”

Five other migrants were also charged in the sex-trafficking scheme.

White House Launches Aliens.Gov After Series of Cryptic Messages: ‘They Walk Among Us’

A new White House website builds upon the curiosity generated by the Trump administration’s release of government files on UFOs, but the message is far more down to earth.

“THEY WALK AMONG US,” Aliens.gov proclaims in glowing massive script.

“For 60 years, the U.S. government has kept a closely guarded secret. Aliens have been walking among us, living in our neighborhoods, and interacting with us in our daily lives. They’ve shopped in the same stores, attended the same classes as our children, and lived seemingly normal human existences,” the site reads.

“With one exception — they do not belong here,” the site said.

The message starts to shine through as the script continues.

“Millions arrived under the cover of darkness and embedded themselves directly into our society. Countless presidents, congressmen, and senior officials knew exactly what was happening. Instead of protecting American citizens, they chose to cover it up and even accelerate the invasion,” the site says.

“Until one man finally had the courage to tell the truth. Bold. Unapologetic. Unafraid. President Trump was the first to call out the real danger Aliens pose to every American family, every community, and the future of our nation.”

Maryland Sheriffs Sue State to Stop Amnesty State Law

Seventeen Maryland county sheriffs have joined together to sue the state over a new law that gives sanctuary to illegals that the law officers say will make Maryland a more dangerous place to live.

Sheriff Jeffrey R. Gahler, of Harford County, Maryland, and sixteen other Maryland sheriffs, have joined with the  in a lawsuit filed in a federal court to block the state’s newly passed “Community Trust Act” (SB0791).

“It is an intentional state-mandated obstruction of public safety,” Sheriff Gahler said about the new law. “This law deliberately ties the hands of our dedicated local deputies, police officers and correctional officers. It forbids us from sharing information with federal authorities.”

“This issue, ladies and gentlemen, is not about politics. It’s about public safety. And, we believe this law directly hampers our ability to effectively safeguard the boundaries of our respective counties,” Worcester County Sheriff Matt Crisafulli added.

The new law passed in the House of Delegates 92-37 and in the state Senate 32-15 this week and became law without Democrat Gov. Wes Moore’s signature.

The Community Trust Act bans local cooperation with federal immigration officials and maintains that a felony conviction or a judicial warrant must be presented by immigration officers before local law enforcement can communicate with ICE about a suspect’s immigration status.

The lawsuit filed by the group of county sheriffs says that the state’s new law violates federal authority to implement legal immigration policy and is a violation of the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. It also forces state law enforcement to break federal law by harboring illegal migrants.

In its press release on the lawsuit, FAIR says that “Maryland’s sanctuary law thereby makes it impossible to obey both federal law and state law, it presents a textbook case of conflict preemption.”
