A group of 19 undocumented migrants of Haitian origin was arrested Thursday night near Havelock in Quebec’s Montérégie region.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) confirmed that the group, with ages ranging from one to 60, was apprehended after they allegedly illegally crossed from the United States into Canada.
The breach was reported to the RCMP by the United States Border Patrol (USBP) shortly before 6 p.m.
Canada’s Liberal government is pushing through sweeping new legislation targeting refugees that observers fear will usher in a new era of US-style border policies, fueling xenophobia and the scapegoating of immigrants.
Bill C-12, or Strengthening Canada’s Immigration System and Borders Act, includes many changes around border security along with new ineligibility rules for refugee claimants.
It was fast-tracked and passed through a third reading in the House of Commons on 11 December before members of parliament rose for the holidays. If it receives Senate approval in February, the bill will become law.
Germany has deported a Syrian criminal to his home country for the first time in more than a decade, marking the country’s first such return since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011.
The deportation took place on Tuesday, when the man was flown to Syria’s capital, Damascus, on a scheduled flight and handed over to local authorities, the Federal Ministry of the Interior in Berlin said. The Bild newspaper first reported the case.
Jesse Romero, a conservative Catholic podcaster, has some choice words for Pope Leo XIV.
“The Pope should tell us how to get to heaven,” says Romero. “He has no authority over the government; he has to stay in his lane.”
As a Donald Trump supporter, he is angry about criticism made by the American-born Pope and US bishops about his mass deportation policy.
With one in five Americans identifying as Catholic, the Church plays an important role in American life – and politics.
I was in Westminster Cathedral last week and the place was heaving with migrants and asylum seekers. Only kidding. I was in the cathedral showing my grandson around, but the place was remarkably devoid of migrants and asylum seekers which was probably the result of the two security guards at the entrance.
Funny that, when the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church – my church – seems too keen to welcome migrants, legal or illegal, to our shores and is so keen on the British Government giving so much of our hard-earned taxes to people who have broken our law and make no contribution to the economy, often at the expense of essential services such as GP appointments and housing benefits for people born and bred in this country.
Mourners turned on the chancellor, blaming his continued support for mass migration for the security failures that led to the deadly attack.
Friedrich Merz’s attendance over the weekend at a memorial service commemorating last year’s attack on the Magdeburg Christmas market was not greatly welcomed by attendees. Instead, the chancellor was met with loud protests—some telling him “we don’t want you here,” crying “shame on you,” and urging him to “get lost.”
Six people were killed and hundreds of others injured—some critically—when a Saudi psychiatrist and refugee named Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, who was known to German police, drove a car into a crowded Magdeburg Christmas market during the city’s 2024 festivities.
It should have just been a routine arrest, but within minutes the air of southern Minneapolis was thick with pepper spray, tear gas and snowballs.
The pepper spray and tear gas was being fired by immigration agents, who had been cornered by dozens of protesters. One of them radioed the county sheriff in a panic, claiming they were being attacked.
The snowballs were being flung by the demonstrators, outraged by what one of them described to The Telegraph as the officers’ heavy-handed tactics as they arrested at least two people.
OTTAWA — Canada’s long-held consensus on immigration — that it’s a net positive for the country — has been coming apart in recent years.
Roughly half of the population thinks too many immigrants have been coming to Canada, according to several private polling firms.
That parallels a government survey from November 2024, when 54 per cent of respondents to a phone survey conducted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada said “too many” immigrants were coming to Canada.
It’s not “anti-immigrant” to fight back when your country is being stolen from under your feet, when you can’t buy a home, afford rent or even find a job because the elites profit from the cheap foreign labour they import.
It’s called self-defense and it’s not racist.
The Liberals are cooking the books and actually staying on track to nearly meet Trudeaus nation killing goals.
Gaslight much? “Taken together the actual number for new permanent residents would be closer to 445,000 a year until 2027, which is closer to the record number Trudeau had been earlier approving.” https://t.co/f8XL30DYGb

Brussels is experiencing a sharp rise in violence, with multiple explosions and shootings reported over just five days in the Saint-Gilles municipality. The latest incident occurred on Wednesday evening on Rue du Céleri, near Place de Bethléem—a known hotspot for drug activity. Authorities confirmed that the street was cordoned off and that only material damage occurred. The Belgian army’s bomb disposal unit (DOVO) and police attended the scene, and an investigation is underway to determine the circumstances of the explosion.
Meanwhile the farmers are back …

‘TIS the week before Christmas and Crowborough awaits with bated breath a sign, an announcement, a star in the East.
Will some wise men appear or, more likely, will Crowborough only learn its fate when coaches are sighted rolling into its training camp? A camp which only two weeks ago hosted 114 eager cadets for a highly successful training weekend. Such an event will not happen in that location for the foreseeable. Poignant therefore to see some of those cadets marching at the head of the last two Sunday protests in Crowborough.
The Polish border guard has discovered a tunnel beneath the Poland-Belarus frontier, with officials confirming that more than 180 migrants entered Poland on Thursday, December 11th, through the underground passage. The tunnel, located near the village of Narewka in the northeastern region, is the fourth such structure detected along the border in 2025. Authorities report that over 130 people have been detained so far, while searches for the remaining migrants continue.
More than 9,500 commercial truckers have been taken off of U.S. roads for failing English-language proficiency checks, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said.
“We’ve now knocked 9,500 truck drivers out of service for failing to speak our national language – ENGLISH!” Duffy said in an X post. “This administration will always put you and your family’s safety first.”
I doubt Canada has de-licensed a single illegal.
A new poll reveals what mass attendance actually predicts about virtue and deportation policy.
America’s Catholic bishops may incessantly complain about President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda, but American Catholics actually support such measures as mass deportations. EWTN News and RealClear Opinion Research published a poll late last week which found that a majority (54 percent) of American Catholics favor mass deportations, including 27.5 percent (the largest share recorded in the poll) who “strongly favor” the policy, while only 30 percent oppose it and less than 17 percent expressed indifference. Support for the “detention and deportation of unauthorized immigrants on a broad scale” increased to 60 percent among white Catholics and opposition fell to 26 percent.
New York is the eighth state found to routinely issue commercial driver’s licenses to immigrants that are valid long after they are no longer legally authorized to be in the country, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Friday, and he threatened to withhold $73 million in highway funds unless the system is fixed and any flawed licenses are revoked.
New York was the fourth state run by a Democratic governor called out publicly by Duffy in his effort to make sure truck and bus drivers are qualified to either haul passengers or 80,000 pounds of cargo down the highway. He previously questioned similar practices in California, Pennsylvania and Minnesota.
Mass migration risks making the UK and its neighbours ‘unrecognisable’. America could one day cut them loose
Donald Trump’s description of Europe, offered in an interview with Politico last week, was characteristically blunt: “What they’re doing with immigration is a disaster.” Unless this changes, some nations “will not be viable countries any longer”, with politicians like Sadiq Khan “elected because so many people have come in. They vote for him now”.
It was an assessment that came hard on the heels of the Trump administration’s National Security Strategy, which warned that Europe would be “unrecognisable in 20 years” and risked “civilisational erasure”.
