When Alberto Salagan was deported from the US in January it was the first time he’d stepped foot in Mexico since he was a baby.
Born in the coastal resort of Acapulco, his parents took him to the US when he was just six months old.
Growing up in California, he was seduced by the false glamour of gang life.
Doctors are sounding the alarm. Across France patients are unable to get appointments and wait times in hospital emergency departments have been known to stretch to more than two days. In Nantes, such was the backlog that four people died in emergency rooms over just a three-week period while waiting to be admitted.
This is a system stretched far beyond capacity. France’s hospitals are buckling, not because of a pandemic or a natural disaster, but some say because the country offers free, lifelong medical care, and often residency, to anyone from abroad with a serious illness.
In the 1950s, hysterical fears that America was being overrun by Communist subversives had a deeply chilling effect on freedom of speech. Anyone who was outed, or usually falsely accused, of harbouring Communist sympathies lost their jobs or were otherwise ostracised from public life. Everyone from government employees, including teachers and professors, to artists and journalists were treated with suspicion. Many were terrified of revealing the wrong views or saying the wrong thing. This crusade against the alleged Communist threat was led in large part by Republican senator Joseph McCarthy.
Almost six years ago, before I started working at American Thinker, I wrote a post on my personal blog about Obama’s purge of many military leaders who believed in traditional American values. I entitled it, “Under Obama, there came to be a cancer in the Pentagon.”
That post, especially the title, popped into my head when I read about the fact that over a dozen U.S. service members were rounded up when the DEA raided an illegal club in Colorado Springs, where they found dozens of illegal aliens, many of whom were also gang members, weapons, drugs, and prostitutes. This is the metastasized result of Obama’s efforts, which Biden carried on for him.

The DEA says there was drug trafficking, pr0stitution, crimes of violence, and weapons seized.

City’s hotels are filled with asylum seekers as fears grow that Trump’s immigration crackdown will send more fleeing across the border
The lobby of the Wyndham Garden Tower Hotel in Niagara Falls at 8am is busy with chatter in all manner of languages.
The chatter is not from tourists heading out to admire the mist-covered waterfalls, however, but from children who are living at the hotel after arriving from Africa with parents seeking asylum.
Minutes later they are gone, climbing into two yellow buses to take them to school.
The White House lawn has been lined with mugshot-style posters bearing the faces of 100 “arrested” illegal migrants — and lists of the despicable crimes some have committed.
Illegals who’ve been arrested by President Trump’s administration now have their faces and crimes presented outside the White House.
These foreign criminals are all people who Democrat politicians wanted to keep in the US.pic.twitter.com/JuxqFVQh4o

It is a tradition within Irish Republicanism for Easter Week to be marked by parades and marches to commemorate the 1916 Rising against British rule. Yesterday, Ireland’s growing if electorally marginal anti-immigration movement adopted the tradition. Outside Dublin’s Gardens of Remembrance, a woman was doing brisk business selling the Irish Republic flag of the Rising, as well as tricolours adorned with “You’ll Never Beat The Irish”, as tens of thousands of anti-immigration marchers gathered for their largest protest yet.
“They need to be dragged out by their balls,” said one older woman, carrying a commemorative wreath, of the Irish government. She transpired to be the wife of the movement’s emerging leader, the veteran Republican activist and newly-elected inner city Dublin councillor Malachy Steenson. The day was to be a reassertion of nationalist credibility after the politically damaging presence of Southern anti-immigration protestors alongside Ulster Loyalists during last summer’s Belfast riots.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the infamous “Maryland Man” of media renown (who is actually an illegal immigrant and accused MS-13 gang member from El Salvador with no legal right to be in the United States) was the subject of yet another story on National Public Radio.
The online version of the radio report by Eric Westervelt and Joel Rose for NPR’s All Things Considered Wednesday added some more sympathetic details to the Maryland man’s media mythos — he’s just a quiet family man!
The Home Office is appealing for landlords to house asylum seekers after a record number of small-boat arrivals this month, according to reports.
Landlords have been offered five-year guaranteed full rent deals to house migrants by Serco, a private contractor working for the government office.
The number of migrants who arrived in Britain after crossing the English Channel reached a record for the first four months of the year. Eleven small boats carrying a total of 656 people arrived on April 12, taking the total number of people crossing in 2025 to 8,064, according to provisional Home Office figures.
I’m surprised they bothered to ask.
Germany’s federal police system recorded 148,515 active arrest warrants as of April 1st, 2025, according to data from the Ministry of the Interior. The figures were disclosed in response to a parliamentary question by the deputy leader of the largest opposition party AfD, MP Sebastian Münzenmaier.
The arsonist rode into the car park at Valence prison in southeast France on an electric scooter after nightfall on April 14.
After looking at the 16 vehicles there, he targeted two, both of them owned by guards on night duty. The intruder, who was masked and hooded, doused them in petrol, set them alight and filmed himself.
He did not seem to be in any hurry, spending 15 minutes at the site. The police, though, were even slower. By the time they arrived he had ridden away.
Visitors to Western Europe have grown accustomed to young male migrants hawking selfie sticks, demanding a few euros, or — most often — simply loitering. Cities behind the former Iron Curtain have largely avoided this transformation. In Warsaw and other Polish cities, slowly but perceptibly, it is occurring in real time.
On a recent day in Warsaw, a young African man hassled and blocked the paths of pedestrians crossing ulica Emilii Plater, in the shadow of the Palace of Culture and Science, Stalin’s infamous gift to the Polish people. “We are fifty or a hundred years behind the advanced countries,” once asserted the Soviet dictator. “We must make good this distance in ten years.”
Well, the evidence against Kilmar Abrego Garcia just keeps piling up. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the now-deported MS-13 thug was driving a car registered to a convicted human smuggler during a traffic stop in Tennessee back in 2022—and he wasn’t alone. He had a group of men with him, raising even more questions about what exactly he was up to. This is the kind of criminal the Left is fighting to protect while pretending Trump is the threat.
The Department of Justice filed multiple federal charges against 27 members of the hyperviolent Tren de Aragua Venezuelan gang on Monday. The charges include Racketeering, Narcotics and Sex Trafficking, Robbery, and Firearms offenses. DOJ officials say this marks the first time RICO charges have been filed against Tren de Aragua gang members
Conservatives need to face reality — deporting tens of millions of illegals requires a carrot as well as a stick.
Over the weekend, Breitbart had a piece about President Trump’s reference to a “touchback amnesty” — or, perhaps more accurately, providing an incentive for illegal aliens to self-deport in large numbers in the hope that some of them might be able to come back legally.
