It’s safe to say that mayor Denver, Colorado, Mike Johnston, doesn’t understand history at all—during an interview last week he vowed that if President Trump’s administration began to deport the millions of criminal aliens who have swarmed into the states, particularly those over the last few years, he would initiate a “Tiananmen Square moment” to resist the enforcement of law and order.
Despite claiming years ago to have “the best words,” President-elect Donald Trump is something less than a flawless orator. Consider his remarks during an on-stage appearance this past summer at the annual convention of the National Association of Black Journalists: “I will tell you that coming from the border are millions and millions of people that happen to be taking black jobs.”
Democrats and the media panned then-nominee Trump for appearing to suggest that some jobs are inherently “black.” But they failed to address his intended point: illegal immigrants are competing for, and in some cases taking, jobs held by African Americans.
PHILADELPHIA — Sheriff Haeda Raa left Liberia to escape a violent tribal initiation ritual, reaching Central America by plane and, finally, the U.S. border with Mexico by bus and on foot late last year.
U.S. immigration officials held him for five days. He didn’t know where he’d go if he was released. He had no family or friends to turn to for guidance. But he did get a word of advice from a fellow detainee.
“Go to Philadelphia,” Raa, 48, recalled his saying. “We have a community there.”
ATHENS, Ga. — Tren de Aragua gang member Jose Ibarra was sentenced to life without parole Wednesday for the vicious murder of promising nursing student Laken Riley in a case that ignited a national firestorm over the Biden administration’s open border policy and coddling of illegal immigrants.
The sentencing was meted out a little more than two hours after Judge Patrick Haggard announced the guilty verdict on all charges on the fourth day of the Athens, Georgia, murder trial, in which 29 witnesses were called by the prosecution.
President-elect Donald Trump indicated Monday that his incoming administration was preparing to declare a national emergency to mobilize military assets to crack down on illegal immigration and secure the border.
Trump responded “TRUE!!” to a Truth Social Post from Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton saying that the second Trump administration was “prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program.”
Two men are to stand trial on human smuggling charges this week, almost three years after a family from India was found frozen to death on the border between Manitoba and Minnesota.
Harshkumar Ramanlal Patel and Steve Shand are accused of being part of a large operation that brought Indian nationals to Canada on student visas and then smuggled them across the United States border.
The men have pleaded not guilty to charges including conspiracy to transport aliens causing serious bodily injury and placing lives in jeopardy.
Canada’s public safety minister says he’s confident in the work of agencies tasked with detaining and removing people in the country illegally and preventing security threats crossing into the U.S., but will boost enforcement resources if necessary.
Dominic LeBlanc says that work by the RCMP and Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) should prove to the incoming Donald Trump administration — whose newly appointed “border czar” has called the Canada-U.S. border a “huge national security issue” — that Ottawa shares their concerns about border security.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — On the last night of their lives, Jagdish Patel, his wife and their two young children tried to slip into the U.S. across a near-empty stretch of the Canadian border.
Wind chills reached minus 36 Fahrenheit (minus 38 Celsius) that night in January 2022 as the family from India set out on foot to meet a waiting van. They walked amid vast farm fields and bulky snowdrifts, navigating in the black of an almost-moonless night.
The driver, waiting in northern Minnesota, messaged his boss: “Make sure everyone is dressed for the blizzard conditions, please.”
U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s border czar says there is an “extreme national security vulnerability” along the Canada-U.S. border that he plans to deal with the moment the new Republican administration takes power.
Tom Homan, named Sunday as the official in charge of all U.S. border issues, said in a television interview that he expects there will be “tough conversations” with Ottawa about the situation along the Canada-U.S. border.
U.S. President Joe Biden did Canada a solid back in 2023, when his government agreed to new terms on the Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA) with Canada. A loophole in the previous agreement meant that migrants who crossed into Canada at irregular crossings, such as Roxham Road in Quebec, could still claim asylum in Canada. The U.S. could thus wash its hands of, for example, the nearly 40,000 people who entered Canada at unofficial points of entry in 2022 alone. “Sorry, Canada: they’re your problem now.”
While Donald Trump’s most eye-catching appointment may be Marco Rubio, who is strongly tipped to become the next secretary of state, some of his other hires are just as revealing about the direction his presidency will take. Reports that Stephen Miller will serve as deputy chief of staff for policy in the next administration, and the announcement that Tom Homan will be the new “border czar”, reveal two things about a second Trump White House. Firstly, that the incoming president is recruiting from a deeper populist bench this time around; and secondly, that he is placing immigration policy at the centre of his political vision.
U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump is not just revving his engines — he is ready to go. There have been a flurry of proclamations and appointments, including that of former ICE director Tom Homan as his “border czar.” What will Homan do in the role? At the 2024 National Conservatism Conference in Washington, he promised, “Trump comes back in January…. I will run the biggest deportation operation this country’s ever seen.” With 11 million migrants illegally in the country, he is not kidding.
There’s a new czar in town.
President-elect Donald Trump’s new “border czar” Tom Homan has a message for New York City and other sanctuary jurisdictions: Nothing will stop us from deporting migrant criminals.
“If we can’t get assistance from New York City, we may have to double the number of agents we send to New York City,” he said on Fox & Friends on Monday. “Because we’re going to do the job with you or without you.”

If anybody thought that Trump was just running for president to avoid prosecution (yes, a lot of Democrats did believe that!), his initial moves as president-elect should dispel that notion and put them on notice that he intends to win bigly.

Rampant drug-fuelled violence in France is turning the country into what has been dubbed a ‘Mexicanized narco-state’ by a leading politician.
Narco wars are being fought across the country and have seen teenagers and children shot, stabbed and burned alive, gang kingpins broken out of custody, and cocaine washed up on beaches.
France’s new conservative interior minister recently declared war on the operating gangs after a 15-year-old boy was caught in the crossfires and killed in a massive brawl and gunfight in Poitiers, on November 1.
