The Pentagon has announced the deployment of 3,000 active duty soldiers to the Mexican border. The Stryker Brigade Combat Team will, Saturday’s statement declared, “reinforce and expand current border security operations to seal the border and protect the territorial integrity of the United States”.
What started out as bystanders who happened to be in a neighborhood U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was operating in has turned into a full operation of far-left activists conducting their own patrols to be on the lookout for federal agents.
It should be no surprise one of the most extreme examples of far-left activists being confrontational towards ICE agents is happening in Los Angeles. Groups such as the Community Self-Defense Coalition and the Anti-US Israeli Imperialism in the Middle East use their local knowledge and social media to disrupt any arrests being made by ICE.

The Pentagon is deploying a Stryker Brigade Combat Team and a General Support Aviation Battalion to the southwestern border, accelerating efforts to fulfill President Trump’s directive to bolster military support in securing the U.S. – Mexico border. The units, equipped with wheeled vehicle and air capabilities, are set to reinforce border operations in the coming weeks, Pentagon Press Secretary Sean Parnell announced over the weekend.
MEXICO CITY—It was the first call U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth held with Mexico’s top military officials, and it wasn’t going well.
Hegseth told the officials that if Mexico didn’t deal with the collusion between the country’s government and drug cartels, the U.S. military was prepared to take unilateral action, according to people briefed on the Jan. 31 call. Mexico’s top brass who were on that call were shocked and angered, feeling he was suggesting U.S. military action inside Mexico, these people said. The Defense Department declined to comment.
Authorities raided the notorious migrant development of Colony Ridge just north of Houston on Monday, rounding up 118 illegal migrants — including accused killers and kiddie-sex offenders.
Border czar Tom Homan told Fox News that the raid by federal and state agencies was only the first of many that will target the crime-ridden “colonia.

America’s Catholics are facing a crisis of authority.
The social and economic realities of mass migration contradict the Vatican’s facile theologizing on open borders. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), in accord with Pope Francis’ globalist conceits, opposes President Donald Trump’s resolve to curtail illegal migration. Catholics are caught between fidelity to ecclesial leadership and obedience to the just laws of our own country.
In the shadows of Canada’s progressive image lies an unsettling truth: for decades, the country has operated as a revolving door for the world’s most dangerous individuals. While its leaders drape themselves in virtue, professing an open-arms approach to immigration, the consequences of their recklessness have landed squarely on the doorsteps of both Canada and the United States.
The cracks in this illusion are no longer hypothetical. They are now real, violent, and all too frequent. Whether through terrorist sympathizers who slip through the system unchecked or human smugglers exploiting the vast northern border, the consequences of Canada’s willful negligence are becoming impossible to ignore.
A friend I will refer to as “Carol” recently told me she fears for her safety as her Democrat-controlled town is crawling with illegal immigrants. Crime has exploded in her New York community and continuing to ignore it isn’t healthy.
Smugglers are brazenly using TikTok to advertise their human-trafficking services across the Canada-US border — undercutting the Great White North’s position as it tries to hammer out a critical deal with the US on tariffs and security, The Post has learned.
For close to a year, the Canadian “coyotes” — who largely target Indian nationals — promise a hassle-free trip to the States for as much as $5,000, with new border-crossing accounts popping up every time others are removed from the platform.
The posts often feature a US flag waving over a wooded northern border, set to Indian music, urging wannabe border crossers to DM them for more details.
The migrant crime waves sweeping Europe are warnings. We can either heed them now — or prepare to suffer their consequences on our own soil.
It happened again.
Another city, another massacre, another Western government paralyzed by its own self-inflicted crisis.
This week, the streets of Munich ran red as yet another so-called refugee — a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker who should have been deported years ago — plowed his car into innocent civilians, injuring 28 people in a horrific act of terror.
The writing scrawled across bare plaster inside the Cedar Run apartment block would become an epitaph for many who passed through it.
“In loving memory of those lost in drugland,” it read.
Drug Enforcement Agents were struck by the graffiti when they stormed the building with smoke bombs last week as part of a series of raids across Denver and Aurora, two of Colorado’s biggest cities.
I miss Rush Limbaugh. During the Biden years, I couldn’t help imagining him up in Heaven begging God to put him back in the game. Today, I imagine him sitting in a bar smoking a cigar with Ronald Reagan and buying a round for the house every time a new EO drops. When he was here, however, there were a few things that he used to say that I loved because of their clarity. He always pointed out that illegal immigration was all about votes and that Democrats were hypocrites on the issue. He’d suggest that if it was really compassion that drove the issue, the solution was simple: immediately legalize them with the caveat that they could never vote. Democrats, of course, never went for it.
The official Catholic teaching balances charity with common sense. JD Vance understands that; Pope Francis does not.
In 1571, Pope Pius V created the Holy League, organizing the Catholic states of Europe in a coalition to end Ottoman control of the Eastern Mediterranean, and to protect Europe from Islamic invasion. The naval Battle of Lepanto that year resulted in the near-total destruction of the Ottoman fleet by the Christian forces, and bought Europe time. The final assault of the Ottoman Empire on Europe would come just over a century later, at the gates of Vienna, where the Europeans defeated the Turks for all time.
The point is this: the Catholic Church once had a pope who defended Western civilization. That was then. Now it has Pope Francis.
Newly sworn-in Attorney General Pam Bondi held her first U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) press briefing Wednesday where she announced federal charges filed against the state of New York, specifically Gov. Kathy Hochul, the state’s AG Letitia James, and Commissioner Mark Schroeder of the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
