DOJ Brings Terrorism Charges Against ‘Militant’ Antifa Cell That Attacked ICE Facility

A federal grand jury indicted two alleged Antifa members on counts of “providing material support to terrorists,” the “attempted murder of officers and employees of the United States,” and “discharging firearms during, in relation to, and in furtherance of a crime of violence,” according to the indictment.

These are reportedly the first terrorism charges associated with Antifa.

The charges originate from a July 4 attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, allegedly by Cameron Arnold, Zachary Evetts, indicted, and several co-conspirators, as previously reported by The Federalist. The Department of Homeland Security was using the facility to house illegal migrants ahead of their deportation.

According to the indictment, attackers “began by shooting fireworks toward the facility and vandalizing vehicles and a guard shed.” DHS personnel contacted local law enforcement for support.

The indictment says Arnold yelled “get to the rifles,” and fired on the officers. He hit an Alvarado police officer, who returned fire, the document says. The attackers left after Arnold’s rifle jammed. Police arrested “most of the Antifa cell shortly after the attack,” and arrested Arnold the next day, according to the indictment.

The indictment describes Antifa as a “militant enterprise made up of networks of individuals and small groups, primarily ascribing to a revolutionary anarchist or autonomous Marxist ideology, which explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and the system of law.”

The document acknowledged a pattern “beginning in 2025” of “Antifa adherents” targeting ICE facilities and agents, in protest of “policy on the removal of illegal aliens.” It cites one Antifa member in an encrypted chat saying, “I’m done with peaceful protests” and “Blue lives don’t matter.”

President Trump officially designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization last month.

OUTRAGEOUS: Cook County Chief Judge BANS ICE and Border Patrol from Making Civil Arrests of Illegal Aliens at Chicago Courthouses

The Democrats are protecting the illegal aliens more than their constituents.

Cook County Circuit Chief Judge Timothy Evans has issued an administrative decree that effectively bars ICE and Border Patrol agents from making civil immigration arrests at or near county courthouses, even as aliens appear for hearings.

The edict, signed late Tuesday night and going into effect Wednesday, proclaims that “no person attending or returning from a court proceeding shall be subject to a civil arrest” unless there is a judicial warrant or order.

The order explicitly limits it to civil immigration arrests. The order also includes the walkways, entryways, driveways, and parking lots contiguous to courthouses.

“The fair administration of justice requires that courts remain open and accessible, and that litigants and witnesses may appear without fear of civil arrest,” the order states.

“The common law has long recognized this privilege to ensure individuals can fulfill legal duties without risking further legal jeopardy.”

This comes after thirteen far-left “social justice” and legal organizations have filed a petition with Cook County Chief Judge Timothy Evans.

According to the petition, groups such as the Roderick and Solange MacArthur Justice Center, Mujeres Latinas en Acción, and the Public Defender’s Office claim that ICE enforcement is causing “fear” among those attending court, especially in Domestic Violence Court.

Sharilyn Grace from the Public Defender’s Office said people were “so alarmed” by the sight of an armed individual outside the courthouse that they called 911, FOX 32 Chicago reported.

Alexa Van Brunt of the MacArthur Justice Center claimed that the presence of ICE creates a “chilling effect” that discourages illegal immigrants from attending court proceedings, saying many are now “afraid to show up” because they fear deportation.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier Files Supreme Court Lawsuit Against Gavin Newsom and California Over “Sanctuary” Policies for Illegal Aliens

Florida is taking the fight straight to the top.

Attorney General James Uthmeier announced late Wednesday night that Florida has filed a landmark lawsuit against California in the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that Governor Gavin Newsom’s “sanctuary” state policies are putting American lives at risk and violating the Constitution.

“Tonight, we filed a lawsuit against Gavin Newsom and California in the U.S. Supreme Court because their so-called ‘sanctuary’ policies for illegal aliens are harming states like Florida,” Uthmeier announced.

“California must pay for the carnage of their open border policies and unlawful CDL programs.”

The lawsuit comes after a deadly crash in Florida involving an illegal immigrant from India, identified as Harjinder Singh, who had obtained a commercial driver’s license (CDL) from California and later Washington State despite being unable to read road signs or speak English.

The crash killed three Haitian nationals living legally in the U.S. under temporary protected status.

It was revealed that Singh received a work permit from the Biden regime in June 2021 after the Trump administration denied him one in September 2020.

While he illegally crossed in 2018, it was Biden who gave him permission to live and work in the United States, and it was California that illegally granted him a driver’s license.

As Fox News’ Sean Hannity reminded viewers Wednesday night, the illegal driver “was only behind the wheel because California gives out regular driver’s licenses  even commercial ones to illegals.”

Once an illegal immigrant secures a standard license, upgrading to a CDL becomes easy, despite federal law requiring English proficiency and road safety knowledge.

In the wake of the tragedy, the Department of Transportation, under Sean Duffy, announced it will withhold $40 million in federal grant money from California for failing to enforce English language requirements for truck drivers.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker Vows to Imprison ICE Agents When Democrats Take Back Power: ‘The Tables Will Turn One Day’

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has vowed to prosecute Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in a post-Trump era.

Pritzker made the comments during an interview with FOX 32 Chicago this week as ICE agents step up their efforts across the city of Chicago.

“The tables will turn one day,” Prtizker explained.

”These people should recognize that maybe they’re not gonna get prosecuted today, although we’re looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration because the statute of limitations would not have run out.”

The 60-year-old added that he had spoken with Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul and other Democratic officials about their legal options.

“We’re talking to the state’s attorneys and Attorney General to see how they can go at this because what we want to make sure is that they follow the law,” he said.

Pritzker has become a central figure in the Democratic resistance over the past few months as the Trump administration seeks to clean up Chicago and follow through on its promise of mass deporting illegal aliens.

“This is a dangerous time,” he argued. “The President of the United States is causing mayhem in the grounds of our state. He is going after his political opponents.”

”I don’t know why anybody would look at the situation and not recognize he’s moving toward an authoritarian regime in his own image.”

Over the weekend, Pritzker complained that fellow Democrats were not vocally supportive enough of his efforts to prevent ICE and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from carrying out their work.

“ I understand there are people who’ve stood up, I want to say, and we should give kudos to those people,” he said in a conversation with The New Republic.

“I think Cory Booker has been terrific. I think that we’ve seen people standing up—Chris Murphy, Gavin Newsom—you know, there are people who are regularly calling it out. Right. But I wonder about lots of other folks.”

State of Oregon to Spend More on Program That Offers Free Healthcare to Illegal Aliens Than Entire Budget of State Police

Democrats keep insisting that they are not keeping the government shut down over healthcare for illegal aliens, but the evidence contradicts them.

Everyone knows they want that.

Just look at what is happening in the Democrat-led state of Oregon. The state is about to spend more on healthcare for illegal aliens than they spend on their state police, and not by a small amount. We’re talking hundreds of millions of dollars.

Breitbart News reports:

Report: Dem-Led Oregon on Track to Spend $500 Million More for Healthcare Program that Includes Illegals than for State Police

The Democrat-led state of Oregon is on track to spend $500 million more on a program that includes free health care for illegal migrants than on its state police budget, according to reports.

According to state reports, the Healthier Oregon Program (HOP) has a budget currently set at $1.3 billion. The program, which launched in 2022, has seen a rise of 1,100 percent in costs since it launched. Meanwhile, the Oregon State Police have a budget of just over $717 million.

The Oregon Health Authority website says, “Starting July 1, 2023, immigration/citizenship status no longer affects whether someone qualifies for OHP [Full Oregon Health Plan].”

Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin blasted the state for its obscenely lopsided budgeting.

“Absurd. Oregon will spend $500 million+ MORE on free health care for immigrants regardless of legal status than on state police in its current budget period,” McLaughlin wrote in a post on X on Tuesday.

This is one of the reasons why Democrats are losing the optics battle in the shutdown. They can claim until they’re blue in the face that they’re not trying to fund healthcare for illegals, but everyone knows it’s something that they want and believe in.

Records: Blue States Can’t Provide Any Evidence To Defend Anchor Baby Citizenship

Four states suing the Trump administration to defend the citizenship of illegal aliens and a nonsense definition of “birthright citizenship” do no have any evidence to prove the “harm” they claim in the lawsuit, according to records obtained by America First Legal (AFL).

On his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order, “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship,” which recognizes the only sane understanding of the 14th Amendment’s citizenship clause: that it does not apply to the entire globe’s worth of people just because they happen to be born on American soil. Put simply, a child born to aliens within the United States does not automatically become a citizen of the United States.

According to the states’ lawsuit, Washington, Arizona, Illinois, and Oregon are concerned that if anchor babies’ citizenships are no longer recognized, they will be “harmed” by the loss of “federal funding or reimbursements to programs that the Plaintiff States administer, such as Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), foster care and adoption assistance programs, and programs to facilitate streamlined issuances of SSNs [Social Security Numbers] to eligible babies — among others.”

In other words, they are concerned that they will lose federal funding to give tax dollars meant for American citizens to individuals who should never have been considered citizens in the first place, and who must be returned to their noncitizen status.

AFL filed public records requests with the plaintiff states to see if they had the data or records to prove their own claims. Not one did.

“America First Legal tested whether several plaintiff states challenging the President’s birthright citizenship executive order actually suffered the harm they alleged: that they would have to spend more money on children deemed noncitizens because the federal government would no longer be covering costs,” AFL Vice President Dan Epstein said in a statement. “The evidence either did not exist or was simply not something the states monitored. Suing a presidential Administration without a concrete injury is an abuse of the courts and the justice system. States must do their homework before running to court with allegations lacking evidentiary support.”

When AFL reached out via public records request to prove their claims with actual data, Arizona’s Department of Education replied, saying it “does not compile or aggregate data in a manner that can fulfill your request. We conducted a thorough search of our database and did not find any relevant information.”

Oregon’s Health Authority said, “There are no responsive records to your request for records reflecting ‘all expenditures from January 1, 2022, through August 1, 2025, used to provide services to children born to mothers who lacked a lawful immigration status in the United States or children where both parents lacked a lawful immigration status in the United States.’”

The Department of Human Services in Illinois said, “The Department does not independently track the requested information for the Home Visiting Program, the Early Intervention (EI) Program, or the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP),” adding, “there are no responsive records showing total payouts to undocumented persons . . . for Cash or SNAP benefits . . . [and that] immigration status for the parent is not part of the eligibility determination and is therefore not collected on the application” for the state’s summer electronic benefits transfter program.

Illinois’s Department of Healthcare and Family Services similarly replied that it has no records, and Washington’s Healthcare Authority said it also has no records.

INSANITY: Los Angeles County Declares “State of Emergency” Over ICE Raids — Mobilizes Taxpayer-Funded “Relief Efforts”

Los Angeles County officials have once again made their priorities crystal clear, and it’s not the safety or well-being of American citizens.

On Tuesday, the far-left Board of Supervisors declared a “state of emergency” in a 4–1 vote in response to the Trump administration’s coordinated ICE raids targeting criminal illegal aliens across Southern California.

Instead of cooperating with federal law enforcement, Los Angeles leaders are mobilizing taxpayer-funded “relief efforts,” funneling state funds into legal aid, and possibly paving the way for a temporary moratorium on evictions, all justified by claims that federal enforcement “created a climate of fear” and “widespread disruption.”

Sedition: MSNBC Reporter Opines Military Will Turn on Trump, Urges Young People Against Joining Over Deployment of National Guard Troops to Protect ICE Agents and Facilities

President Donald Trump has mobilized National Guard troops to protect ICE agents and federal facilities from violent protesters and deadly assassins, and to help law enforcement officers in several cities across the country and the District of Columbia.

The deployment of Guard troops to Los Angeles, Portland, Chicago, Memphis and D.C. has been met with outrage and lawsuits by blue state governors, mayors, other Democrat officials and liberal reporters.

One such liberal reporter is MSNBC’s Jacob Soboroff.

Soboroff made his career adversely reporting on Trump’s first term migrant child separation policy meant to protect children from being trafficked by cartels into sex and work slavery.

Soboroff turned his anti-Trump reporting on migrant children into a book and movie deal titled Separated.

During the four years of Joe Biden’s presidency, Soboroff ignored the mass trafficking by the Biden administration of migrant children into work and sex slavery in the U.S.

Now with Trump back in office and vigorously enforcing immigration and deportation laws, Soboroff is back on the immigration beat.

Soboroff posted a clip of a discussion he had with MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace on Monday, adding, “for over four months I’ve reported as Trump has put troops and federal agents in cities across America. more than ever I’m seeing and hearing from people pushing back — standing up for immigrants, democracy and members of our military who don’t want this.”

Soboroff tried to undermine Trump’s deployment of Guard troops, saying that after speaking with troops he believes they will turn on Trump, that their families and neighbors will turn on them and urged young people not to join the military.

California Schools Are About to See Waves of Children Flee After Gavin Newsom’s ‘Demonic’ ‘Kidnap’ Bill

While the world’s attention was focused on the release of the Jewish hostages taken by Islamic Hamas monsters, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law that would make it easy for strangers to kidnap children from his state’s schools—without parental permission, naturally. While one story gloried in hostages freed from totalitarian barbarians, another set of totalitarians loosed a plot to take more. 

Think that’s overwrought? Hold my beer. 

Newsom signed AB 495 into law on Sunday night and pretended that the law, proffered by a Democrat to hide kids illegally in the country from Immigration authorities, kept parental rights intact and preserved parents’ relationships with their own children. Instead, it made every child in California schools, preschools, and state-licensed childcare facilities a target. 

Newsom had the hubris and temerity to tout it as “a bill to protect parents’ rights and children.”

That is false. Indeed, it’s worse than false. It’s a license allowing anyone to take your child without your permission and act as that child’s unapproved “guardian.” As the California Family Council (CFA) put it, “Anyone falsely claiming kinship can easily sign the affidavit, access a child, obtain medical care, and enroll them in another school. Even the most basic safeguard of a notary is not required to confirm the true identity of the person accessing your child. AB 495 violates fundamentally constitutionally protected parental rights, endangers California’s children, and will be appropriately legally challenged and struck down.”

The Debate Over Congressional Access to ICE Facilities

Congressional representatives have repeatedly been denied access to ICE facilities. The real motivation for these congressional visits seems to be political, that Democrats are against mass deportations and are trying to get the illegals released back onto U.S. streets. They claim that it’s “the way illegals are being detained and deported” that upsets them, but in reality, it is the fact that illegals are being detained and deported that they are really angry about.

So far, there have been legal challenges to the deployment of the National Guard to protect ICE offices, sanctuary cities not only refusing to aid ICE but also refusing to protect them, and local authorities declaring ICE-free zones. Judges have even issued limits on ICE, such as prohibiting arrests of illegals traveling to or from their illegal jobs.

The latest conflict regarding congressional representatives demanding access to ICE facilities whenever they wish has sparked a constitutional crisis over congressional oversight. The issue is now going to court and will most likely be escalated to a higher court, as both sides will probably not accept a ruling they do not like.

Illinois Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth were denied access to the Broadview ICE detention facility on Friday, October 10, 2025, marking their fourth attempt to enter the site. Both Democratic senators have made repeated requests to the Department of Homeland Security for oversight of the facility, which is used to process detained immigrants.

Speaking outside the facility, Senator Tammy Duckworth condemned the administration’s actions, saying, “It is appalling that two United States senators are not allowed to visit this facility. What are you afraid of is what I want to ask [Homeland Security Secretary] Kristi Noem. What are you afraid of? You don’t hide, you don’t run away when you’re proud of what you’re doing.”

This ongoing controversy centers on whether members of Congress have the right to conduct unannounced oversight visits to ICE detention facilities, with sharply differing interpretations of federal law.

Section 527 of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, originally enacted in 2020 as Section 532 and later renumbered, states that none of the funds appropriated to DHS may be used to prevent a member of Congress from entering any DHS-operated or contracted facility used to detain or house aliens for the purpose of oversight.

Subsection (b) explicitly adds that members are not required to provide prior notice of their intent to visit. The statute further specifies that access is granted to any member of Congress, not just those on particular committees or in leadership, and forbids DHS from making temporary modifications to facilities that could alter what a visiting member would otherwise observe.

The Trump administration maintains that visit requests must be submitted in advance, typically one week, to prevent interference with the President’s Article II authority to oversee executive departments. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and other officials argue that safety concerns justify regulating access, citing increased incidents of assaults and disruptions.
