Rotterdam Officially Creates A No-Go Zone — Dutch City Bans Nighttime Entry To De Esch Neighborhood After Years Of Migrant Gang Disorder

The city of Rotterdam has taken an extraordinary and, by its own admission, unprecedented step: imposing a nighttime exclusion zone on an entire residential neighborhood, making it a criminal offense to enter the De Esch district between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. without a demonstrable reason for being there. The order took effect Thursday evening and will run for three months before evaluation, according to Remix News and the Dutch public broadcaster NOS.

Under the new rule, anyone stopped in De Esch during nighttime hours who cannot explain their presence to police is liable for a fine and a criminal record. Residents, workers, visitors attending events or dining at local restaurants, and people visiting family homes are exempt. Everyone else — which in practice means the large groups of outsiders who have descended on the neighborhood after dark for nearly three years — is not.

The backstory is a familiar and depressing one across Dutch and Western European cities that have been slow to name what is happening. Locals told NOS and the regional broadcaster Rijnmond that since shortly after the Covid pandemic, outsiders — identified in Dutch press coverage as predominantly young men of migrant background — began gathering in De Esch on evenings and weekends in numbers that sometimes reached into the hundreds. Activities documented include street racing, drug use, horn honking, prostitution, intimidation of residents, littering, and aggressive responses to anyone who objected. One resident told Rijnmond she had stopped walking her dog alone at night because of the danger; her parents were nearly struck by cars being driven on the sidewalk.

Rotterdam Mayor Carola Schouten authorized the exclusion zone under existing public order powers. “Calm must return to De Esch, and residents must feel comfortable and safe. That is why I am using this power,” she said. Previous interventions — concrete barriers, increased police patrols, community outreach, direct talks with those causing the disruption — had all failed. The first night of the ban was described as immediately and dramatically quieter. “I slept wonderfully,” one resident told Rijnmond. “Now, the street is completely clean.”

Federal judge accused of defying Supreme Court with pro-TPS agenda

A federal judge is being accused of defying the U.S. Supreme Court with a pro-TPS agenda.

“Another rogue district judge just postponed the termination of TPS (Temporary Protected Status) for South Sudan,” DHS general counsel James Percival wrote on X, slamming the decision. “This is open defiance of the Supreme Court, plain and simple!”

The judge is temporarily blocking the Trump administration’s plans to end TPS protection for people from South Sudan.

That’s despite a Supreme Court ruling that significantly narrowed the circumstances when judges can do that.

U.S. District Judge Patti Saris has ordered an administrative stay in the case brought by African Communities Together. She ordered continued special protections for South Sudanese nationals while she considers whether plaintiffs may amend their lawsuit and seek renewed relief.

A Fox report said Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at Advancing American Freedom, explained Saris lacks authority to issue any relief after the Supreme Court’s recent TPS ruling.

While the judge claimed she wanted the “status quo,” that’s what she has no right to have, he said.

“No jurisdiction (as ordered by the Supreme Court) means no jurisdiction and under the applicable law, the only proper course of judicial action is to dismiss the lawsuits, explaining that based on the law and the Supreme Court’s decision, she has no jurisdiction to entertain any claims in her courtroom,” he said.

The expert said the ruling from Mullin v. Doe at the high court “reaffirmed that federal law largely bars courts from reviewing or blocking the government’s decisions to end Temporary Protected Status,” the report said.

How non-citizens are getting voter registration forms across the US — and how Republicans are trying to stop it

Welfare offices and other agencies in at least 46 US states are providing voter registration forms to migrants without requiring proof of citizenship, leading Republicans and conservatives to call for swift federal action to stop the handouts.

Every state but North Dakota, New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Wyoming gives applicants for either welfare benefits, driver’s licenses, or in some cases, mail-in ballots federal voter registration forms without demanding proof of citizenship.

There is currently no requirement on federal voting forms to provide proof of US citizenship, though it is illegal to falsely claim one is a citizen or for a non-citizen to cast a ballot in a federal election.

But millions of migrants with humanitarian parole, refugee or asylum status are eligible for benefits that would bring them to the offices where voter registration takes place.

The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1993 ordered states to register voters at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and agencies where Americans apply for public benefits — and those offices are required by federal law to hand over the registration forms along with the application papers.

If an applicant attests that they are a US citizen, that is considered valid on its face and the person is registered to vote — except in Virginia, Tennessee and New Mexico where they must provide a full Social Security number as well.

Arizona recently passed a law requiring proof of citizenship on state but not federal voter registration forms.

The House Administration Committee last month approved the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to require states to receive proof of citizenship when anyone registers to vote by mail, at a DMV or a welfare agency office.

“While Biden and radical progressive Democrats give ISIS and criminals an app to literally schedule their illegal entry, Republicans must fight any chance of illegal voter registration until we can mass deport,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), who introduced the measure, told The Post.

“As President Biden has welcomed millions of illegal aliens through our borders, including sophisticated criminal syndicates and foreign adversaries, it is incumbent upon Congress to implement greater enforcement measures that secure the voter registration process and ensure only American citizens decide the outcome of American elections,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said in a statement following its approval.

Republican Lawmakers Demand Action After Somali Gangs Open Fire in Minnesota Park

A shooting in a Minnesota park has spurred Republican legislators to call for a crackdown on Somali gang activity.

Crime Watch Minneapolis said that about 50 Somali youth were at Yancey Park in Edina when shots were fired on Wednesday night, according to Alpha News.

Residents reported hearing more than 20 gunshots. No one has been arrested. No injuries were reported.

Republican Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota said this latest incident is proof action is needed.

“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, if you won’t assimilate, then get the hell out of here,” Emmer said.

“First it was an estimated $9 billion in fraud, now it’s out-of-control violence. These Somali gangs have shot up high school graduations and assaulted players on opposing basketball teams with tire irons. It’s absolute madness, and something must be done,” he said.

“Mutiny Against the Supreme Court” – DHS Blasts Biden Judge for Indefinitely Extending Block on Termination of Temporary Protected Status for Ethiopians

US District Judge Brian Murphy, a Biden appointee on Friday indefinitely extended a block on the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

In 2022, the Biden Regime allowed more than 5,000 Ethiopians to enter the US and live here with special protections.

Their TPS status was extended again in April 2024 and expired on February 13, 2026.

Upon taking office again in January 2025, President Trump immediately revoked the Biden-era ‘Temporary Protected Status’ and ordered the DHS to ensure that the TPS designations were limited.

Judge Murphy previously said President Trump violated the process by revoking the protections.

Earlier this year, Judge Murphy issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and blocked the Trump Administration from ending the protection for the Ethiopians.

Migrant accused of murdering 3 apartment staffers over parking spat said he ‘hated the American system’: cops

The crazed migrant accused of murdering three people over a petty parking-garage dispute told investigators he “hated the American system” that had thwarted him from bringing his wife and kids here from Ethiopia.

Tsegaab Binessu was busted late Monday in Virginia, Minn., some 200 miles north of the St. Paul residences where he allegedly “executed” Nansi Fuentes Zambrano, 25, Dena Silcox, 56, and Adam Wilwerding, 43, according to a criminal complaint obtained by the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

All three were staffers at his apartment complex where he was fighting to cancel his $65-a-month parking garage contract in the hopes of joining the Navy, the complaint said.

Once arrested, Binessu “complained about and said he hated the American system” that he blamed on destroying his family life, the complaint said.

Binessu, who had a US passport and Social Security card, told police that for several years he had tried without success to bring his wife and children to the US, according to the complaint.

The prolonged immigration process, he said, led to his divorce and separation from his kids. He claimed he quit his job as a truck driver due to the stress of the situation, the document states.

MI COUNTY CLERK DROPS BOMBSHELL: 1,062 NON-Citizens Found in Jury Pool List – 40 Are Registered to Vote In ONE County!

Macomb County Clerk Anthony G. Forlini is once again exposing a serious and ongoing problem in Michigan’s election system under Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.

From January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, Forlini’s office identified more than 1,000 prospective jurors who self-reported that they are not U.S. citizens. Of those individuals, 40 were found registered to vote in Macomb County’s Qualified Voter File.

Five of them even have a voting history.

The Clerk’s Office referred these findings to the Michigan Bureau of Elections on January 13, April 28, and July 10, 2026.

In January 2026, The Gateway Pundit reported that Forlini had identified 239 non-citizens in the jury pool over just four months. Of those, 14 had been registered to vote at some point, and several appeared to have voting histories — including one who voted multiple times.

“It is unconscionable that this problem continues,” Forlini said. “To provide greater transparency, our office posts a running tally of these findings on our website so the public can stay informed and lawmakers can better understand the scope of the issue as they consider reforms.”

Under Michigan law, only U.S. citizens are eligible to vote or serve on a jury. Yet non-citizens continue to receive jury summonses because the jury pool is generated from the Secretary of State’s driver’s license database, which includes non-citizens.

It’s Not Just a New Jersey Scandal – SIX States Were Previously Caught Including THOUSANDS of Non-Citizens on the Voter Rolls

On Tuesday, New Jersey Democratic Governor Mikie Sherrill took to X to confess that she had learned of a “serious software error” in the state’s Motor Vehicle System that allowed thousands of foreign nationals to register to vote between June 2023 and June 2024.

This “coincidentally” occurred right in the midst of the 2024 election campaign. Sherill, of course, tried to assure that the impact was ‘minor.’

President Trump later highlighted the massive number of illegal voters across the country in a renewed push for Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act.

35,152 non-citizens were registered to vote in New Jersey not the 6,600 people that the New Jersey governor announced in her initial tweet.

The Department of Homeland Security recently said that “preliminary reviews” of voter records in California, New Jersey, Nevada, and Pennsylvania found the following.

  • 190,832 non-citizens registered to vote in California.
  • 35,152 non-citizens registered to vote in New Jersey.
  • 15,903 non-citizens registered to vote in Nevada.
  • 14,576 non-citizens registered to vote in Pennsylvania.

Obviously, this is a widespread problem but as reported earlier, it is not a surprise and is almost expected.

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Wednesday, New Jersey is one of many States that DO NOT use the free Federal SAVE system to check for illegal aliens in their voter registrations or existing voter rolls.

Software Vendor Fires Back At NJ Governor Over Noncitizen Voting Scandal

New Jersey’s noncitizen voter registration scandal has taken an uncomfortable turn for Gov. Mikie Sherrill, and the vendor she blamed for it is no longer taking the fall quietly.

IDEMIA, the French multinational that has worked with New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle Commission for more than 40 years, is refusing to play the role assigned to it. What the company is now saying about who was responsible for approving registrations undercuts the governor’s account.

Sherrill revealed on Tuesday that more than 6,600 noncitizens ended up on New Jersey’s voter rolls between June 2023 and June 2024, and that fewer than 400 of them cast ballots. The individuals answered “no” when asked on an MVC keypad whether they were U.S. citizens, she said, and “through no fault of their own, the system registered them anyway.” New Jersey has roughly 6.6 million registered voters.

“Let me be clear: this entire situation is unacceptable,” Sherrill said. “It’s unacceptable that the vendor released software with such a glaring error, it’s unacceptable that the MVC took a year to get this issue fixed and it’s unacceptable that no one in the previous administration brought this to light, demanded accountability or took action when it happened years ago.”

The previous administration was that of former Gov. Phil Murphy, also a Democrat.

IDEMIA told a different story. The company disputed the governor’s characterization of its role, saying its software’s function is limited to transmitting data from the MVC to New Jersey’s Division of Elections, which the company says bears ultimate responsibility for verifying voter eligibility.

“IDEMIA works with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, and has for more than 40 years, to support the process through which eligible individuals may indicate their interest in registering to vote when applying for or renewing a driver’s license or state-issued identification card,” the company said in a statement. “IDEMIA’s role is to transmit information through the motor vehicle system. The voter registration information is transmitted to the New Jersey Department of State, Division of Elections, which is ultimately responsible for verifying eligibility to vote. Information submitted by IDEMIA must still be validated and adjudicated by the Division of Elections.”

Sherrill has said New Jersey will phase out the company’s software regardless. She has also ordered the erroneous registrations removed, directed her chief counsel to investigate, and retained an outside firm, CSG Law, to conduct an independent review.

She simultaneously downplayed the severity of the situation and accused the Trump administration of trying to weaponize elections for political gain, saying the president has “zero credibility on the issue of election integrity.”

The White House is all over it. “Democrats and their media allies have repeatedly said it is impossible for noncitizens to register to vote, let alone cast a ballot. Time and again, they have been proven wrong. As President Trump has said, there is nothing more important than the integrity of our elections,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said. “And this latest incident underscores the absolute necessity of the SAVE America Act. American voters deserve to have confidence that our elections are safe and secure.”

New Jersey Joined ERIC System that DOES NOT Report If Person Is a Non-Citizen – Then Illegals Started Voting – 24 States Are NOT Using SAVE System To Verify Illegal Alien Voters!

The recent news of illegal aliens registering in mass in NJ, and then voting, is not a surprise and is almost expected.

New Jersey is one of many States that DO NOT use the free Federal SAVE system to check for illegal aliens in their voter registrations or existing voter rolls.

SAVE is an online service administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that provides immigration status and U.S. citizenship information. SAVE only returns verification information. The decision to register or remove a voter remains with state or local election officials.

As of June 30th, there are 26 states using SAVE for voter-registration or voter-list-maintenance purposes. It processed 198 million cases in 2025.

The remaining 24 states have no public info that their election authority uses SAVE. Most of these 24 states are left-leaning.

New Jersey joined the non-profit ERIC in August of 2022 to help clean their voter rolls. Secretary of State Tahesha Way said, “ERIC is a powerful step to strengthen New Jersey’s elections by increasing our ability to support eligible voters while also improving the accuracy of our voting rolls.”

Obviously, this isn’t working.
