Federal officers arrested 11 Democratic elected officials in Lower Manhattan on Thursday after they demanded access to Immigration and Customs Enforcement holding rooms.

The sit-ins unfolded hours after a federal judge ordered ICE to improve conditions at the 10th-floor holding area at 26 Federal Plaza, requiring cleanliness standards, limits on crowding and prompt access to legal calls, according to The New York Times. Lawmakers said they sought to verify compliance; Department of Homeland Security personnel refused entry and moved to make arrests inside, while New York Police Department officers cuffed others outside during a related blockade.

"This afternoon I faced arrest alongside dozens of New Yorkers in a nonviolent civil disobedience to demand oversight of ICE's inhumane detention practices," New York City Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams said in a statement.

Comment: Pity there's not the same concern for the living conditions of NYC residents.

He was about as fine a young man as you could have dreamed up in a country so busy disgracing itself, Jesus-like in quality, if not in exact manner. Jesus, after all, was not a family man. But then there was nothing supernatural about Charlie Kirk. He was vividly of this time and place on earth. Now, in death, you can imagine him up on a mural in the post office. They've gone and turned him into legend, like Davy Crockett, Joseph Smith, Abe Lincoln. Yeah, it goes that deep.

The Woke-Jacobin Left broke into a happy-dance when they heard the news, and I bet 90-percent of them didn't even know what Charlie was about, except that their minders had painted a bullseye on him and somebody hit it. They have forgotten what their country is about, too. They have unwittingly acted-out Biblical-grade wickedness. Jimmy Kimmel didn't just tell a bad joke about the president — "This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish" — he made a Judas of himself. He demonstrated exactly what it means to betray whatever remains of goodness in this land.

You are at a loss to understand how bad it got, years of officially enforced insanity, absurdities jammed down your craw, treasonous mischief, vile abuses under color-of-law (Tina Peters still rots in jail in Colorado!), and, lately, gunning down whoever stands in their way. You look at an old, established political party and you begin to see actual demons.

You understand that destroying the country might not be enough for them.

Canadian journalist placed on leave after claiming US politics, Hollywood 'run by Jews' on live radio

A Canadian broadcaster has been yanked off the airwaves over her antisemitic and "prejudicial" comments that American politics, its cities and Hollywood are "run by Jews."

Radio-Canada journalist Élisa Serret said during a live French-language broadcast Monday that "the Israelis, in fact the Jews, finance a lot of American politics" when asked why the US has not distanced itself from Israel over the course of the war in Gaza.

She went on to state that they control "a big machine" and that Hollywood and major US cities are "run by Jews," during a discussion about US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's recent visit to the Jewish state.


Comment: She's not wrong, and it's not "anti-semitic" to talk about this.


Radio-Canada, part of the publicly funded Canadian Broadcasting Company, slammed Serret's remarks the following day as "stereotypical, antisemitic, erroneous and prejudicial allegations against Jewish communities" and confirmed she had been placed on leave indefinitely, the Globe and Mail reported.

Dominoes: Jimmy Kimmel Suspended 'Indefinitely' After Pushing Charlie Kirk Propaganda

Jimmy Kimmel is done.
Jimmy Kimmel
The now-former late-night talkshow and Podesta pal will be 'preempted indefinitely" following overt propaganda regarding the killing of Charlie Kirk, an ABC spokesperson told Deadline. The show will be replaced by other programming.

During his opening monologue on Monday, Kimmel suggested that Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old suspect in the assassination of Kirk last week at Utah University - was a conservative, when all indications point to the exact opposite.

Question

Ron Paul: Who killed Charlie Kirk?

KirkPaul

I had the pleasure of appearing on Charlie Kirk's program a few times over the years and I always found him to be polite, respectful, and genuinely interested in ideas. Even in areas where we might not have agreed, he listened carefully. He was a strong advocate of free speech and he made a career of trying to convince the youth of the value of free speech and dialogue regardless of political differences.

At the young age of 31 years old, he had already founded and ran the largest conservative youth organization in the country and as such he had enormous influence over the future of the conservative movement and even the Republican party. As I discovered during my Republican presidential runs, the youth of this country are truly inspired by the ideas of liberty, peace, and prosperity.

I do not believe we have anything near the real story about the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk last week. The narrative presented by the FBI and other government agencies is wildly contradictory, with an ever-changing plotline that makes little sense.

George Zinn, accused of obstructing justice, was also booked in connection with images on his cell of child abuse.

A man who was detained moments after Turning Point USA executive director Charlie Kirk's killing has been arrested on allegations of trying to thwart authorities by falsely confessing to the fatal shooting.

After being arrested on Monday, 71-year-old George Zinn faces a count of obstructing justice - a second-degree felony - in the wake of Kirk's killing at Utah Valley University (UVU). He was also booked in connection with images on his cellphone depicting child abuse, said state authorities, who took Zinn into custody after he was released from a hospital that was treating him for a medical condition.

Documents filed in Zinn's case by UVU campus police allege that he began screaming, "I shot him - now shoot me," in the immediate aftermath of Kirk's killing at Utah Valley University (UVU) on 10 September. Video of officers holding Zinn down was widely circulated online, leading some to believe that authorities had quickly arrested a suspect in the killing of the conservative political activist.

Digital ID: Vietnam to delete 86 MILLION 'unverified' bank accounts

Starting this month, banks all across Vietnam will begin deleting over 86,000,000 bank accounts that have not been "verified" under the countries new digital ID scheme.

The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) are calling it a "system clean-up measure".

This "clean up" is part of the government's "digital transformation" plan, a drive to "modernise" the country's information infrastructure, and more specifically a drive to promote non-cash payments.

Speaking at a press conference promoting "Cashless Day" earlier this year, Pham Anh Tuan, Director of the Payment Department at the SBV called it "a data-cleansing revolution".

Central to this "revolution" is the new "Decree on Regulations for Electronic Identification and Authentication", passed in July of 2024 and coming in to force July 1st of this year.

Under this new law, all bank accounts - corporate and personal - need to be biometrically verified in one of two ways:
  1. Using an NFC chip-based identity card, where the facial image is stored in the embedded chip.
  2. Through a level 2 account in the government's VNeID app. A level 2 account requires submission of a fingerprint scan.
Any bank account not verified in this way by September 1st was subject to freezing, and then termination.

Judge dismisses two top charges against Luigi Mangione in UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting

Luigi Mangione scored a major legal victory on Tuesday as a judge dismissed the two top state charges against him: first-degree murder and second-degree murder, both of which prosecutors had argued were terrorism crimes.

Mangione still faces an additional second-degree murder charge, as well as a federal murder charge, in the killing of United HealthCare executive Brian Thompson last December.

The judge overseeing Mangione's state criminal case, Gregory Carro, said "the evidence put forth was legally insufficient" for the two terrorism-related charges, in a written decision that was posted during a 15-minute proceeding in Manhattan court on Tuesday.

"Counts one and two, charging [the] defendant with murder in the first degree (in furtherance of an act of terrorism) and murder in the second degree as a crime of terrorism, are dismissed as legally insufficient," Carro wrote. "The people presented legally sufficient evidence of all other counts, including murder in the second degree (intentional)."

Syrian youth gang "505" responsible for 30 victims, including brutal beatings, stabbings and robberies.

More than 30 victims of a Syrian youth gang, known as "505," have been recorded in the cities of Graz and Vienna. The suspects range in age from 17 to 20, with police reporting they dealt a "severe blow" to the group with mass arrests.
"I've never experienced a dimension (of crime) of this magnitude before, and I've been in this business for 20 years," said police spokesman Fritz Grundnig.
The organized gang is accused of a long series of extremely violent assaults between November 2024 and June 2025, mostly in Graz. Austrian police have released details to the national media about the group, including their involvement in the narcotics trade.

Ben & Jerry's co-founder Jerry Greenfield, whose name helped shape the popular ice cream brand, has quit the company, his partner Ben Cohen said on Wednesday, deepening the rift with parent Unilever.

In an open letter addressing the Ben & Jerry community that was shared by Cohen, on social media platform X, Greenfield said that the Vermont-based company has lost its independence since UK parent Unilever curtailed its social activism.

Unilever and Ben & Jerry's have clashed since 2021, when the Chubby Hubby maker said it would stop sales in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
