About That White Guy Laughing in the Face of a Black Mom Trying to Get to Work…

I mean, I wish I could say you can’t make it up, but the Left has become so unspooled that nothing shocks. It doesn’t mean it makes it any less entertaining, however. There are anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protests and riots popping up nationwide. There’s bound to be shenanigans at this ‘No Kings’ event today, especially in Philadelphia. We’ll keep you abreast of that, but remember that anti-ICE protest in New York City? A horde of white liberals blocked the road, which prevented a black mother from getting to work. They laughed at her face and told her illegal aliens’ kids were more important.

Well, that guy in the video is reportedly a Black Lives Matter activist, Trevor Britvec, who got a six-figure settlement from the city during the 2020 summer of mayhem.

California Democrats Dumped $73M into Migrant NGOs Opposing ICE

California’s Democrat-controlled state legislature has pushed tens of millions of tax dollars into the hands of non-governmental organizations that work to thwart deportation and out ICE agents, according to a report.

Five of these far-left, pro-illegal alien organizations have received $73.6 million in state tax dollars since 2023, according to a report by budget watchdog group Open The Books.

According to the review of state spending, the notorious group Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) was the biggest recipient of state funds, with handouts of a whopping $35,226,566 during 2023 and 2024.

CHIRLA has reportedly been at the center of efforts to track where ICE agents are working in Los Angeles so that activists can be dispatched to the area, often followed by rioters and agitators. The group has set up a tip line for members of the public to out ICE agent activity, as well.

“Aside from their current activities fomenting unrest in L.A., CHIRLA runs many different campaigns and programs as a part of their regular operations, including the ‘Wise Up!’ program to teach high schoolers how to become activists,” Open The Books reported. “The CHIRLA website states this program is an ‘initiative to organize high school students—both undocumented and allies—around immigrant rights, and full access to educational opportunities.’ The website further states WiseUp! ‘activates students’ by ‘engaging them civically to fight in the legislative arena and the public square for measures that ease their access to education and citizenship.’”

Is a Civil Conflict Looming? 1500 Protests Planned for Saturday in Support of Illegal Aliens

NoKings.org has emerged as a highly controversial website that has gained significant attention online. Notably, it appears to be facilitating organized protests and confrontations across major and minor cities throughout the United States and extending into Mexico. This platform has been hosted by GoDaddy, a web development service that has previously faced criticism for denying hosting services to numerous conservative websites.

The site allows users to input their zip code, subsequently providing access to Zoom meetings with local riot coordinators. Additionally, there are larger Zoom sessions featuring national Democratic leaders who outline strategies for resisting law enforcement and provide guidance on how to navigate legal frameworks. Within these local meetings, participants receive explicit instructions on what supplies to bring, including gas masks, radios, ropes for circumventing police lines, first aid kits, megaphones, and even advice on acquiring fireworks.

They also suggest using Vaseline as a protective barrier against chemical irritants. Participants are encouraged to look on Craigslist for financial compensation as “contractors,” with the implication that they should possess a certain toughness and resilience under pressure. Discussions in private chat groups have even included the use of box cutters for slashing tires.

This situation represents a profound challenge to the fabric of our nation. It raises critical questions about why major tech companies, including Google, are permitting such activities to persist. The identity of the website’s owner remains undisclosed, adding to the concerns surrounding its operations.

A forthcoming Zoom meeting is scheduled for June 16th, with an expectation that discussions will continue for over 24 hours. The invitation states, “Join us Monday, June 16th, to debrief and discuss strategies for the next confrontation.” The phrase “next confrontation” suggests a readiness to engage in violence, raising alarms about the motivations behind recruiting individuals described as “badass.”

By Promoting Amnesty For Illegal Workers, Trump Is Selling Out ‘America First’ For Cheap Labor

“Mass Deportations Now.”

It wasn’t just a slogan on signs — it was a rallying cry that galvanized millions of voters. The promise was the restoration of American sovereignty through the removal of all illegal aliens — not just the violent ones. Americans understand that national unity requires assimilation, and assimilation is impossible when millions pour in illegally and remain indefinitely. The message that won the election was not “Mass Deportations, But Only For The Worst Offenders.”

But on Thursday President Donald Trump posted the following on Truth Social:

“Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace. In many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs. This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!”

He later doubled down on the comments during a press briefing.

“[Farmers] have very good workers; they’ve worked for them for 20 years. They’re not citizens, but they’ve turned out to be, you know, great. … We can’t take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don’t have, maybe, what they’re supposed to have, maybe not.”

But sovereignty doesn’t yield to staffing shortages. American immigration policy should never be dictated by the labor needs of employers, especially not in industries built around a permanent, low-wage migrant workforce. And while there may be a legitimate case for limited, legal, seasonal migration in agriculture, allowing a worker shortage to become the justification for lawbreaking and mass amnesty reduces citizenship or legal status to a commodity and the nation to marketplace.

As The Federalist’s John Daniel Davidson pointed out in a post on X, “This is amnesty. … [Trump is] also making a declaration that businesses that openly flout US immigration law (for decades!) will face no consequences. This isn’t how you end illegal immigration. It’s how you entrench it.”

‘No Kings’ Nationwide Protest Theme Is An Antifa Dog Whistle

Indivisible, the progressive group of political agitators with chapters across the country, doesn’t want Americans enjoying Saturday’s Washington, D.C., parade celebrating the milestone 250th birthday of the U.S. Army. The group instead wants the spotlight firmly on their political agenda: anarchy.

Indivisible was behind the May 5 “Hands off” protests at many Tesla dealerships.

Saturday’s planned protest has a new theme, “No Kings.” It is a dog whistle that calls out Antifa, according to Kyle Shideler, director and senior analyst for homeland security and counterterrorism at the Center for Security Policy.

“No Gods, no kings,” or sometimes, “No Gods, no masters,” are common anarchist or anti-fascist slogans, Shideler told The Federalist.  

On the surface, Indivisible advertises for a peaceful protest. “A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action,” the Indivisible website advises. But the name of the event calls out to Antifa, practically inviting them to attend the protests and shake things up.    

Antifa, short for anti-fascist, is a movement of many groups that engage in militant action against people they view as fascists.

“They have a long history of being the street muscle at protests,” Shideler said. “They are the ones who form the black blocs that are going to do the fighting with the cops and with counter protests, and their goal is to shut down people who they view as fascists.”

Indivisible people are not Antifa, Shideler said, “But they are sort of winking at the recognition that that these guys are out there and they’re going to do things that are a little bit more hardcore.”

In the Hands Off protests, Indivisible had a map of protest locations and times, many at Tesla dealerships.

“STOLEN VALOR!” – Minnesota Rep. Pete Stauber GOES OFF, Screaming at Gov. Tim Walz for False Military Service Claims and Lawless Sanctuary State Policies in House Hearing

After seven hours of grueling testimony in an explosive House Oversight Committee hearing on Thursday, Rep. Pete Stauber (R-MN) called out his Governor, Tim Walz, for disastrous pro-BLM and sanctuary city policies, his statements comparing ICE agents to the Gestapo, and stolen valor claims.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, sparks flew when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Chairman James Comer had a confrontation with far-left Democrat Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost when he disrupted the hearing, demanding the committee subpoena DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. Her crime: being accosted aggressively by another Democratic Senator who was thrown to the ground and arrested.

In Rep. Stauber’s fiery exchange with Tim Walz, the Congressman brought a photo of rioters in Minneapolis, Minnesota, burning a police station during the 2020 George Floyd riots. “It’s a precinct burning down because of your decision! Was this a peaceful protest?” Stauber said as Walz refused to admit the riots in Minneapolis were not peaceful protests.

Stauber told the Governor, “As I watched lawless devestate Los Angeles this past week, I was reminded of your failure to protect Minnesota from similar riots.”

The Congressman further slammed the Governor for refusing to apologize or walk back previous statements he was asked about at least four times throughout the hearing, comparing ICE officers to Nazis and calling them the “Gestapo,” which he refused to do once again in the seventh hour of the nearly eight-hour long hearing.

He then took aim at Minnesota’s record of welcoming and protecting illegal aliens, as a befuddled Walz fumbled answers to Minnesota’s harboring of Al-Shabaab terrorists, child predators, and whether or not the officers who arrested them are Nazi Gestapo. He kept referring to “the tactics of wearing masks,” which is done to protect the agents and officers from foreign enemies, gangsters, and murderers.

“Why did you tell us that they were the Gestapo? You believe that any of the violent illegal immigrants I have mentioned have a right to be in this country?” the Congressman exclaimed. Walz replied disgracefully, “I don’t know what their immigration status was.”

Eventually, after tearing Walz to shreds on his sanctuary state record, the Congressman started his war on Walz’s military service records and accusations of stolen valor against the failed Vice Presidential candidate, asking him, “What weapons did you carry in war?” When Walz began to answer with a lie about the weapons he carried in a war he never fought in, the Congressman cut him off, and Walz began questioning what weapon Stauber, who was a police officer, carried in war.

“Governor, you’re barking down the wrong tree, okay? You lied to the Minnesotans. You said that you carry weapons in war,” Stauber shouted. “Stolen valor! You didn’t carry weapons in war!”

Media Coverage of ICE Operations: Disconnect Between Headlines and Facts, The Cary López Alvarado Incident

On June 8, 2025, multiple news outlets reported the arrest of Cary López Alvarado, a nine-month pregnant U.S. citizen, by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Hawthorne, California. The mainstream media portrayed the ICE raid as either inhumane or a mistake, or both. However, the reality is that López Alvarado was arrested for attempting to prevent ICE officers from arresting her undocumented husband. She was held temporarily and then released with no charges filed.

The takeaway most people received from the headlines and superficial news coverage was that ICE had accidentally or maliciously arrested an American citizen and held her for hours. The media reports implied she was detained on suspicion of being an illegal alien, rather than being held for obstructing federal law enforcement officers. News coverage also concentrated heavily on the fact that she required hospital treatment for stomach pains, while ignoring the fact that a nine-month pregnant woman should not have attempted to physically interfere with federal agents conducting a lawful arrest.

This case provides a clear example of how media framing can obscure the factual circumstances of immigration enforcement operations. Major news outlets characterized the incident with headlines emphasizing López Alvarado’s pregnancy and citizenship status, including Rolling Stone’s “Masked ICE Agents Detain 9-Month-Pregnant U.S. Citizen in L.A. Crackdown,” Newsweek’s “ICE Detains Heavily Pregnant US Citizen, ‘Shield My Stomach’,” and NBC’s “Pregnant US citizen detained by ICE.”

However, according to Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin, López Alvarado “was arrested because she obstructed federal law enforcement by blocking access to a car that had two Guatemalan illegal aliens in it.” The DHS statement provided additional operational context that was often absent from initial media reporting: ICE agents were conducting a targeted operation following a vehicle with two undocumented Guatemalan nationals. During the incident, federal agents were reportedly assaulted, and a third individual was arrested after allegedly pushing an officer. Projectiles including wrenches and batteries were thrown at the agents during the confrontation.

This case represents part of a recurring pattern in immigration enforcement coverage, with headlines and reports designed to portray ICE as jackbooted Nazi thugs while omitting important details, such as the fact that the operation was legal, planned, and warranted, and that during the course of the operation, officers were attacked. All persons arrested or detained were done so with proper justification. Furthermore, it is important to note that the media consistently tries to portray ICE as having made mistakes, whether through accidentally raiding the wrong location, detaining or deporting citizens, or wrongfully detaining citizens or legal immigrants and then only releasing them when pressured to do so.

N.Y. Gov. Hochul humbled in sanctuary debate

Rep. Elise Stefanik took the sanctuary debate straight to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Thursday, leaving the Democrat struggling for answers over why illegal immigrants were running loose in communities to commit horrific crimes.

Ms. Stefanik ticked off appalling cases, including the rape of a 5-year-old, the rape of a 15-year-old and a sleeping woman lit on fire and burned alive in the subway — all of which were perpetrated by migrants shielded by sanctuary laws, the New York Republican said.

Ms. Hochul said she didn’t recall any of the cases — “I’m not familiar at this moment” — though she denounced the crimes themselves.

“These crimes are horrific,” she said. “In all of these cases, we would work with ICE to remove them.”

The exchange came during a hearing before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee with governors whose states have sanctuary policies.

One of the New York cases involved Raymond Rojas Basilio, an illegal immigrant set free by local authorities after serving a child molestation sentence.

Another involved a migrant accused of sneaking up on the sleeping woman and lighting her afire, killing her.

“ICE was told not to detain this individual, and he burned a woman alive on the subway, in Kathy Hochul’s New York,” Ms. Stefanik said.

Democrat Governors Are Rolling Back State-Funded Healthcare for Illegal Aliens – Why is the Left Not Protesting Them?

Some liberal Democrat governors are starting to roll back state (taxpayer) funded healthcare for people who are in the country illegally. Why is the left not protesting them? Could it be simply because the left gives Democrats a pass? Do they even know this is happening?

Under Gavin Newsom in California, the state is so broke that they are being forced to do this because there’s simply no money for it and the program came in costing billions of dollars more than people were told.

The same thing is now happening in Minnesota under Tim Walz and Illinois under JB Pritzker, all far left Democrats.

NBC News reports:

Democratic governors seek to roll back state-funded health care for undocumented immigrants

A trio of states with Democratic governors viewed as potential 2028 presidential candidates have taken steps in recent weeks to freeze or cut government-funded health care coverage for undocumented immigrants.

Democratic Govs. Gavin Newsom of California, JB Pritzker of Illinois and Tim Walz of Minnesota have largely attributed the proposals to budget shortfalls stemming from original plans to expand health care to immigrants without legal status.

But the moves also occur against the backdrop of broader debate within the Democratic Party over how to handle immigration, an issue that dragged it down in the last election and that President Donald Trump and the GOP have continued to try to capitalize on…

The latest development came in Minnesota on Tuesday, after both chambers of the Legislature passed a bill to end state-funded health care for undocumented adults…

Newsom’s plan in his 2025-26 budget has called for freezing enrollment for undocumented adults to receive the full scope of the state’s Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal…

Don’t Give Obama Credit For Cooking The Books To Inflate Deportations

Amid riots in Los Angeles and other cities nationwide against immigration enforcement, some have revived the old talking point that former President Barack Obama was the “Deporter-in-Chief.” The implication is if mass deportations under Obama didn’t spark outrage, why the fury now? But the claim gives credit to Obama where credit simply is not due. Obama didn’t preside over an unprecedented crackdown on illegal immigration — he redefined deportation statistics to make it look that way.

Back in 2014, the National Council of La Raza labeled Obama “deporter-in-chief.” The label has stuck around for years, with ABC News declaring in 2016 that “Obama Has Deported More People Than Any Other President” and NPR stating “Obama Leaves Office As ‘Deporter-In-Chief’” in 2017.

Even conservatives have peddled the label in a bid to undermine the left’s opposition to Trump’s deportation plan.

“Throwback to 2014: Obama was crowned ‘Deporter-in-Chief’ for kicking out record numbers of illegal immigrants. No riots. No street chaos. No cries of ‘authoritarianism.’ Just crickets and quiet headlines. But now that Trump is enforcing the law? Suddenly the left is staging ‘spontaneous’ protests nationwide,” Texas Rep. Wesley Hunt said in a post on X.

But the label was untrue.
