Anti-ICE activism has transformed into organized networks that deploy a variety of tactics aimed at obstructing immigration enforcement. These groups are not just spontaneous gatherings of concerned citizens; they are deliberately structured to engage in activities such as surveillance, harassment, and interference. Training sessions indoctrinate activists in resistance methods and the use of technology to track the movements of ICE agents, creating a digital landscape that complicates law enforcement efforts significantly. The tactics employed by these networks are troubling. Activists go so far as to dox ICE agents, issuing threats against their families. In a climate already charged with emotion,…

Smith’s response underscores growing discontent with how political discourse has evolved, particularly the charges of mental…
The upcoming case before the U.S. Supreme Court on January 12 stands as a stark reminder of the ongoing practice of lawfare in America.

The tragic assassination of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk has sparked intense discussions about political polarization, particularly following comments made by Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) during a recent CNN appearance. Many viewers found Lankford’s remarks troubling, as he appeared to deflect blame from the radical left responsible for the slaying, opting instead for a “both sides” approach.
