This* is how Israel responds to masked thugs clubbing and kicking an American journalist? They call it a “disputed incident” that is being used “to exploit to demonize the hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria.”

“Still”? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The only thing this headline lacks is the phrase, “in a chainsaw-involved incident.”

An important bit of immigration law which is relevant here; there is already a waiver process — Section 212(k) of the INA — by which immigrants who obtain status through fraud that they didn't know about can avoid consequences like losing a green card. So this is *even weaker* than it already seems.

So an investigation premised on paperwork done by Omar's father -- who died in 2020.

The feds have raided Ilhan Omar’s home based on a “probe of the ​Somali-born lawmaker's immigration paperwork, Fox News Digital reported.” So a criminal raid of a sitting congresswoman , based on …..immigration paperwork. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Once again: The ICE Air Operations Handbook allows children as young as 13 to be shackled on ICE flights. All adults are shackled except pregnant and postpartum women (up to two weeks) and, on removal flights only, single parents with young children. That’s according to their own policy.

And the five-year-old boy who was in the car? His mom says he's "traumatized" and hasn't spoken since the shooting. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/n...

What neighbors sat about Oscar Belgal, who agents shot. “Nice kid.” “Very nice-mannered.” "He was fine." “Not a menace — annoying. He did not deserve that.”” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/n...

DHS has called the NYC man agents shot, Oscar Belgal a "thug," a gang "associate," and a "criminal." Belgal has exactly one conviction, for 4th degree grand larceny, the least serious level. He was given probation. I know this all b/c *DHS says it.* www.dhs.gov/news/2026/10...

I just went to DHS’s website and… “DEFEND THE CULTURE” Phillip Roth’s estate should sue for copyright violation.
