Anti-ICE clowns put on a show of incompetence

The anti-ICE crowd had a rough weekend, guys. 

One of their shiny new mobilization websites, tens of thousands of sign-ups strong, had all its data dumped out in the open like a costume design accident at a Super Bowl halftime. 

This was supposed to be their rapid-response force against those evil feds who insist on enforcing immigration law. You know how these leftists get when the bat-signal goes out: completely unhinged. And as we’ve seen, some of them, like Renee Good, end up getting shot in the face after trying to run over an ICE agent in Minneapolis.

The site, GTFO ICE, was the brainchild of professional Trump-era resistance cosplayer and former DHS official Miles Taylor. Naturally, pretty much everyone’s personal info got exposed faster than a leftist can say "racist."

Here’s some background on the whole thing (via Newsweek): "A new tool to 'crowd cancel' Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facilities before they open was launched by a former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official this week.

Miles Taylor, who was chief of staff at DHS during the first Trump administration and authored an anonymous 2018 op-ed that was sharply critical of the president, has launched GTFOICE.org, which stands for Get the Facilities Out, ICE, [as opposed to what you and I thought it meant] to help Americans find out about and protest proposed facilities amid DHS's expansion of detention centers to house immigrants.

'We want to make sure that the moment that ICE decides to open up a new prison camp, that local communities immediately have the chance to weigh in and to stop it,' Taylor told progressive magazine Newsweek.

The GTFO ICE tool, a collaboration between Taylor's nonprofit Defiance.org, the Save America Movement and Project Salt Box, allows people [who hate law and order unless it helps their cause] to sign up to join the network.

They will receive alerts if a facility is being planned in or near their community and be provided with organizing resources, legal guidance and other support.

The website includes a tracker from Project Salt Box, an ICE watchdog that has been gathering information about planned ICE facilities."

‘Data Republican’ dropped a lengthy thread exposing the guts of this clown operation, while also roasting Taylor, who somehow oversaw election security, for building a sign-up form that was about as secure as a fart in outer space:

"Miles Taylor: 'Anonymous,' former DHS Chief of Staff, Google security executive launched a website called GTFO ICE that collects your full name, email, phone number, and zip code to join an anti-ICE 'rapid response network.' And publishes the user information via a public API.17,662 people have signed up.

The sign-up data is exposed on a public REST API. No true authentication. No rate limiting. Full records: names, emails, phone numbers, zip codes, timestamps.

The man who ran the third-largest federal department (250,000 employees, $60 billion budget) who oversaw election security architecture and led counterterrorism operations, then served as Google's Head of National Security Policy . . . can't secure a sign-up form. But he does milk hundreds of thousands of NGO dollars on these credentials. While freeloading off his fame as the person who wrote the infamous NYT article 'I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration.'"

The meltdown on the left wing social media outlet Bluesky has been glorious.

Comrade Mamdani throws hissy-fit when NYC Council employee detained by ICE

AP Photo/Seth Wenig

Newly elected NYC comrade Mayor Zohran Mamdani (Commie) went ballistic when a City Council employee was detained by ICE on Monday during a routine immigration court appointment on Long Island.

Predictably, the legal procedure caused the communist mayor to label the detention as an "assault on our democracy" in a public statement posted to X. With fire and verve, the antisemitic mayor demanded the employee be release forthwith or he [Mamdani] will stop smiling and shake his balled up hands and say harsh words.

The illegal alien employee in question is believed to be a data analyst who worked for the council for a year and has since been sent to a detention facility in Manhattan. 

Imagine that, an illegal alien is handling sensitive data for the Big Apple. And the Mayor of New York City is outraged over law and order proceedings. 

"I am outraged to hear a New York City Council employee was detained in Nassau County by federal immigration officials at a routine immigration appointment," Mamdani fumed, his signature smirk a mere memory of a campaign gone by. "This is an assault on our democracy, on our city, and our values. I am calling for his immediate release and will continue to monitor the situation."

No, little guy. Assaults on our democracy is when our political leaders allow the crime of illegal entry into our sovereign country

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials said the arrest for entering the US illegally after entering on a B2 tourist visa in 2017 kosher as the visa required the miscreant to leave that same year. But he didn't and he was not granted the legal right to remain in the country, much less the right to work here.

To make matters worse, the employee has a criminal history including an arrest for assault. Had he assaulted Mamdani's mother, perhaps the mayor would sing a different tune, but politicians are rarely affected by their own policies.

"He had no legal right to be in the United States," department spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement, ABC News reported. "Under Secretary [Kristi] Noem, criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the United States. If you come to our country illegally and break our law, we will find you, and we will arrest you."

City officials claim that the employee was "doing everything right," and had work authorization valid until October. They said there was no indication that the detention stemmed from anything beyond his immigration status and thus, has nothing to do with his prior assault charges or any other crimes. In other words, the city officials were saying that the only thing he screwed up on was his illegal immigration status, which shouldn't get you detained by immigration enforcement, for some reason.

"DHS confirmed that this employee had gone in for a routine court appointment and was nevertheless detained. They provided no other basis for his detainment," Democratic NYC Council Speaker Julie Menin said during a press briefing on Monday. "On the contrary, he was a city council employee who is doing everything right. He went to the court when he was asked."

Doesn't 'everything right' include leaving when your visa expires? If the perp followed the required steps to remain in the US legally, this would not be a story.

Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul also expressed outrage over the data analyst's detainment and was upset the law was being used against the law-breaker. Go figure.

"This is exactly what happens when immigration enforcement is weaponized," the far-left governor wrote on X. "Detaining people during routine court appearances doesn't make us safer. It erodes trust, spreads fear, and violates basic principles of fairness."

I don't know about you, but I believe that when law-breakers with criminal histories illegally enter the country, detaining, trying, and removing them actually does make us safer. 

Enforcement of our laws need to be used against those in the country illegally. Even more so for those with a history of assault.

The real assault on democracy is the clear hypocrisy of New York City's progressive elites who get upset when their potential future voters are legally processed and removed from our sovereign nation.

Family of Would-Be Kavanaugh Assassin Pleads for Leniency Because He’s Now ‘Sophie’

Well here's another example of progressive logic. Nicholas Roske, the guy who rolled up to Justice Brett Kavanaugh's house in 2022 with a gun and some seriously bad intentions, is now begging for a lighter sentence because, well, he's transgender. 

Yes, the man who allegedly plotted to assassinate a Supreme Court justice is now "Sophie," and his family, for some crazy reason, thinks that's a get-out-of-jail-free card. Because nothing screams "leniency" like trying to murder a judge, right?

According to court documents, Roske’s mom found a hospital discharge paper in his suitcase labeled “Sophie Roske.” She told the judge, “This is when several of the pieces of the puzzle started coming together.” Puzzle? Lady, your son showed up armed outside a justice’s home. The only puzzle here is why anyone thinks a new name changes the crime.

The government is pushing for 30 years behind bars, but Roske's defense team, in a September 19 filing, made sure to note he's using female pronouns now. His family is out here writing character references, arguing his new-found "transgender identity" should score him a softer sentence. His mom told the judge, "Since her incarceration, we have been able to have open and honest conversations about her gender identity and how that evolved." Oh, great, so now it’s a therapy session instead of a felony. Aren't women who try to murder people sent to prison?

Roske himself chimed in with a letter to Judge Deborah Boardman, a Biden appointee who, by the way, once blocked parents from opting their kids out of LGBTQ storybook lessons (a ruling the Supreme Court slapped down in July). Roske's excuse is that he was "in the closet" when he planned the hit, so naturally, that makes it less bad. "I am also sorry for contributing to a trend of political violence in American politics," he wrote, adding he was "raised by conservative Christian parents who loved me and still love me." 

So he's implying that we should blame Mom and Dad’s Bible-thumping for my assassination attempt.

He claims he was suicidal, off his meds, and skipping therapy during COVID because virtual sessions weren't his vibe. Then the Dobbs leak happened, and apparently, his "self-esteem was at rock bottom," so he figured, why not take a shot at a Supreme Court justice? Solid logic there, Sophie.

Roske's dad told the judge his kid struggled during COVID, ditched a master's program, and bounced around like a pinball. "One day, she suddenly said she was moving out of the house and into a communal living space,” he wrote. Then it was off to Seattle with "no job or prospects," only to slink back home to substitute teach. His friends say he started dabbling in "nihilistic worldviews" and Googling gems like "Nietzsche quotes" and "nothing is true, everything is permitted." 

Deep stuff for a guy plotting murder.

A friend named John told the judge, "Both of us, on our individual quests for moral truth, have had to confront the ugly hypocrisy that is the American church." He added, "But what I think counts is what she did not do." 

Oh, so we're handing out medals for not killing someone now? Roske's sister, who is gay, of course, says their parents have evolved, attending PFLAG meetings and embracing the rainbow. "While transgenderism is not the same as a gay identity, I have actively see this growth mindset that my parents demonstrated in their relationship with me--transfer over to their acceptance of Sophie," she wrote. She's also worried "Sophie" might end up in a men's prison with “"limited access to gender-affirming care." Because that's the real tragedy here, not the whole assassination plot.

Roske has been on hormones in detention, thanks to a Bureau of Prisons memo green-lighting hormone therapy after a judge blocked a Trump executive order. He says his "whole perspective shifted" when he got to Kavanaugh's neighborhood and realized, oops, judges are "real people too." So he called 911 on himself, standing outside Kavanaugh’s house with a gun, ready to end it all. "I’m out to my entire family now and they have been very accepting," he wrote.

Heartwarming.

Roske pleaded guilty in April, and his sentencing is set for Friday.  

This is the state of our justice system, where a guy can try to kill a Supreme Court justice, then play the trans card and expect a pat on the back. If Judge Boardman buys this sob story, we're in deeper trouble than I thought.

Guess what Trump is doing to deal with the "dregs of society"

Alright, folks, strap in—Donald Trump’s got a wild plan to dust off the rusty gates of Alcatraz and turn it into a hardcore slammer for America’s worst criminals. 

Yes, the iconic prison island in San Francisco Bay, left to rot since the ‘60s, is getting a Trump-sized makeover. Why? Because after four years of what he calls “pro-crime Democrat policies,” the Don’s had enough of the chaos and wants to lock up the bad guys where they can’t cause trouble. 

Tourists might have to share the ferry with some serious law enforcement vibes now.

Trump dropped this bombshell on Monday, and it’s classic Trump—big, bold, and in-your-face. Alcatraz, once a fortress for the likes of Al Capone, is about to become a high-security home for “criminal illegal aliens” and “dangerous domestic criminals.” 

He’s not mincing words either: “REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ! For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering.” 

Ouch. That’s Trump painting a picture of a country fed up with robbers, rapists, and killers who, in his view, Democrats have been coddling like wayward pets.

Check out his post on X for the full fire: “REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ! For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering. When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate…” You can almost hear him shouting it from a podium, right?

Trump’s leaning hard into nostalgia here, waxing poetic about a tougher, no-nonsense America: “When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm. That’s the way it’s supposed to be. No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets.” 

It’s like he’s channeling a black-and-white crime flick, and he’s the sheriff cleaning up Dodge.

So, what’s the plan? 

Trump’s ordering the Bureau of Prisons, DOJ, FBI, and Homeland Security to team up and rebuild Alcatraz into a fortress for “America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders.” His words, not mine: “And that is why, today, I am directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ, to house America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders. We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and Judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals, who came into our Country illegally.” 

Boom. He’s not just reopening a prison; he’s making it a symbol of his whole “Law, Order, and JUSTICE” shtick. And, of course, he caps it off with the inevitable: “We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Now, let’s talk context, because this isn’t just Trump throwing darts at a map. He’s in a cage match with Democrat judges who, according to him, keep throwing wrenches into his crime-fighting plans. Take U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston, who last week tried to muddy the waters on federal immigration laws that let authorities nab illegal aliens without warrants. Trump’s team says, “Nope, we’re doing it anyway,” and now they’re eyeing Alcatraz as the ultimate flex—lock ‘em up, ship ‘em out, and let the island do the rest.

Look, whether you’re cheering or clutching your pearls like some silly Democrat, this is Trump doing Trump. He’s betting that Americans are sick of crime and ready for a throwback to the days when the worst of the worst got sent to the Rock. Will it actually happen? Will Alcatraz 2.0 become the ultimate deterrent? Or is this just another headline-grabbing stunt? 

Stay tuned, because if Trump’s involved, it’s gonna be a loud ride either way.

Predictable: Sikh who defended his shop against shoplifter faces criminal charges

Stockton, California --  You probably saw the video shot of a man loading up a huge garbage can on wheels with cigarettes he was shoveling from the shelves of a convenience store. In the background you can hear another man telling the owner, a Sikh, to let him take them, insurance will cover the cost. Obviously the other man never owned a store and has no idea of what he's talking about. 

Anyway, rather than allowing this scumcrumpet his booty, the man is confronted by the owner and another individual who may also be an owner but it's unclear. The man in a turban beats the man with what looks to be a somewhat thin, but effective wooden stick after he's thrown to the floor by the other Sikh.

According to the store owner, this guy had already stolen from the store twice before.

The video was seen all over the internet and the media, and it was also shown on the Greg Gutfeld! Show where the audience cheered loudly. It was a feel-good video for all of us who are sick of crime being unchecked in Democrat-run cities across the country.

So the robber got nothing [in spite of him asking the shop owner if he could have a soda after he got his ass whooped].

You can view the video in the tweet below.

Sikh grocery store owner was told that "there ain't nothing you can do" repeatedly and that "ayy, just let him go" as they were being robbed. The Sikhs disagreed. pic.twitter.com/ZIb5CVLMNl

— Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray)

So while these Democrat-run cities look the other way when theft is taking place against the middle class, they are very proactive when it comes to enforcing battery laws. According to a report, the Sikh man is facing criminal charges as local cops investigate the incident.

Some say the store owner went too far with the beat-down of the thief, but others say he didn't go far enough. People have reached their breaking point with politicians who appear to support criminal behavior because it never effects them directly.

California is the ass clown capital of the country.

Kickin' butt, takin' names: VA's new AG Jason Miyares announces major investigation

Newly sworn-in Attorney General of Virginia, Jason Miyares, within hours of raising his hand to take the oath of office, announced his opening undertaking effective immediately. There will be investigations into the Virginia Parole Board and in the Loudoun County Public Schools.

Leftists and miscreants are quaking in their sushi.

Miyares gave the statement on Saturday after he and Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) were sworn in. He explained his reasons for the investigations in a statement:

"One of the reasons Virginians get so fed up with government is the lack of transparency - and that’s a big issue here. The Virginia Parole Board broke the law when they let out murders, rapists, and cop killers early on their sentences without notifying the victims. Loudoun Country Public Schools covered up a sexual assault on school grounds for political gain, leading to an additional assault of a young girl."

Heads need to roll.

The catalyst for Youngkin's run for governor started when former crappy Gov. Terry McAuliffe said that parents ought not to be involved in what their children are being taught in school. And then, when a 14-year-old male rapist who identifies as nonbinary and has been found guilty of raping a female student was simply transferred to another school where he 'non-binarilly' raped another female student 'allegedly,' that was it for Youngkin. His last straw broke and he ran and beat McAuliffe. 

The district was accused of a cover-up of the crime which ended in the father of one of the victims getting arrested at a school board meeting. 

The nonbinary rapist student has been placed on the sex offenders registry for life as part of his sentence but remains nonbinary.

Along with the investigations, Miyares also duly notified  around 30 staff members and told them that they will no longer be employed by the office of the attorney general. Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas lied and tweeted that Miyares fired the "entire" civil rights division. While he has the right to do so, he told Fox News that Lucas is incorrect [aka lying].

"This is incorrect information," Miyares spokeswoman Victoria LaCivita said. "There are 12 individuals who work in the Office of Civil Rights - only two personnel changes were made."

Apparently, Miyares has a different ideology than the former attorney general Herring. Miyares actually respects the U.S. and Virginia constitutions and believes in law and order. 

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. Actually, there are three: one's a woman named Winsome Sears, and you know the other two. But don't expect free handouts.
