Mexican authorities said a group of about 350 migrants broke the locks on a gate at the Guatemalan border Friday and forced their way into southern Mexico to join a larger group of migrants trying to make their way toward the United States.

The National Immigration Institute did not identify the nationalities of the migrants, but they are usually from Central America.

A similar confrontation occurred on the same border bridge between Mexico and Guatemala last year.

The institute said the migrants were acting in a "hostile" and "aggressive" way, and accused them of also attacking local police in Metapa, a Mexican village that lies between the border and the nearby city of Tapachula.

Hypocrite: Migrant advocate, Cher, gets blasted for opposing illegals being sent to L.A.

Singer Cher, who once famously offered to take a "Dreamer" into her home and encouraged others to follow suit, is now up in arms over US President Donald Trump's proposal to funnel illegal migrants to her sanctuary city.

Cher justified her protest against the move, which would seem to be perfectly in line with her migrant-welcoming past statements, by arguing that her home city of Los Angeles has not been able to cater to the needs of its permanent residents and therefore cannot shoulder any extra burden.

"I Understand Helping struggling Immigrants,but MY CITY (Los Angeles) ISNT TAKING CARE OF ITS OWN.WHAT ABOUT THE 50,000+🇺🇸Citizens WHO LIVE ON THE STREETS.PPL WHO LIVE BELOW POVERTY LINE,& HUNGRY? If My State Can't Take Care of Its Own(Many Are VETS)How Can it Take Care Of More," she tweeted on Sunday, her style curiously similar to Trump's own.

Comment: Trump offers sanctuary cities an "unlimited supply" of illegal immigrants

'McCarthyite policies to please Israel' only increase support for the BDS movement, says co-founder

Omar Barghouti, who was banned from entering the US, says Israel makes Washington do its bidding in suppressing the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, but it only results in greater grassroots support.

Last week, Barghouti was prohibited from traveling from Israel to the US by the American immigration authorities despite having a valid visa. Speaking to RT, the activist said the US was adopting "McCarthyite" policies to please Israel.

"We see this as Israel outsourcing its McCarthyite anti-democratic repression against the BDS movement for human rights in Palestine to the United States," he said. "The US administration has been mobilized now to do Israel's bidding in trying to silence Palestinian, Israeli and international human rights defenders, who are active in this extremely effective and very important non-violent BDS movement."

Barghouti said the travel restriction resulted in him missing several events in the US, where he intended to advocate the BDS cause. He added that the attempts by dozens of US states to ban the movement were a clear violation of the First Amendment.

Israeli soldiers attacked, on Friday evening, the weekly Great March Processions in the besieged Gaza Strip, killing one child, and injuring at 55 others, including one who suffered serious wounds, and two medics.

The Palestinian Health Ministry has reported that the soldiers shot a child, identified as Maisara Mousa Ali Abu Shallouf, 15, after shooting him with live fire in the abdomen, east of Jabalia, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

The soldiers also fired live rounds and gas bombs at medics trying to reach the child to provide him with the urgently needed medical help, before he succumbed to his wounds.

Last week, Russian Ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzia said at a meeting of the UN Security Council that Moscow intends to continue negotiations with the United Nations, the United States and Jordan on the issue.

Highly decorated Louisiana cop charged with 20 counts of raping dogs - including his own police K9

Cop dog rapist
A Louisiana cop was arrested and charged with 20 counts of sex abuse against dogs, including filming the interaction with his own police K9.

A police officer from the Bossier City Police Department was arrested in December for filming an unspeakable act with an animal. Officer Terry Yetman, 38, has been charged with multiple counts of sexual abuse of animals - and he produced the evidence himself. Now, however, it appears that one of his animal victims was his own police K9. Over 20,000 people have since signed a petition for his prosecution.

"Thousands of In Defense of Animals supporters were moved by this horrific case and want to see justice done," Doll Stanley, campaign director for In Defense of Animals, said. "A healthy society protects its innocents: vulnerable children, animals, elderly citizens. Sexual predators must be made to fear the loss of freedom and a stinging financial impact. We call on District Attorney Marvin Schuyler to take zero tolerance stance on bestiality and prosecute Yetman to the fullest if he is found guilty."

According to the Louisiana State police, Yetman was arrested on December 19 and charged with 20 counts of sexual abuse of animals by performing sexual acts with an animal, and 20 counts of filming sexual acts with an animal.

The IDF stops its female tank training program

The Israeli military has announced that it can't afford to train female tank crews, months after 10 young women proved that they could operate and command tanks on par with men in a pilot program.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) put a lid on the prospect of having women as armor crews on Sunday. The decision was explained by reference to a cost-benefit calculation.

"The assessment of the situation in the Ground Forces with the Armored Corps revealed that the next stage in the experiment requires a significant increase in manpower and infrastructure for the realization of the process," the IDF said in a statement.

"In light of this, it was decided that at this time it is appropriate to strengthen the integration of combat units in existing units, and not to establish new combat units. The knowledge to implement the process, if it is decided in the future, has been acquired and exists."

Three security guards and one patron were shot in the incident, which occurred just after 3am outside the nightclub on Little Chapel Street and Malvern Road.

Mr Osmani was rushed to hospital in a critical condition. He died later in hospital. A 28-year-old is still fighting for life at The Alfred hospital. Two others, aged 50 and 29, sustained non-life threatening injuries.

Twenty-seven 'clandestine graves' found at Florida reform school notorious for abuse

Dozier White House
The building at Dozier known as the White House is where some of the worst abuse occurred.
Workers who were preparing for a massive cleanup of a fuel storage site near one of the nation's most notorious reform schools have discovered something far worse than ground pollution: evidence of 27 possible "clandestine" graves.

A company hired to evaluate underground storage tanks adjacent to the Dozier School for Boys in Marianna performed a series of ground-penetrating radar tests on a parcel a little less than 500 feet from what is called the Boot Hill burial grounds at Dozier, an infamous youth prison linked to more than a century of chilling abuse.

A report on the study said there are 27 "anomalies" on the parcel consistent with human burials. If the 27 anomalies are, in fact, human remains, the total number of known burials on the campus would rise to at least 82 - though University of South Florida researchers who have studied the campus extensively believe there may have been 100 or more deaths at Dozier since its opening in 1900.

"Unmarked graves, by conscious design, are made to be hiding places," said Jack Levine, a Florida children's advocate who had raised concerns about Dozier when he was a young social worker for the state. "What stays hidden almost forgives the crime."

The Yemeni American Merchants Association has called on all the community - which runs quite a few newsstands in NYC - to boycott the New York Post after it scathed Congresswoman Ilhan Omar over her controversial 9/11 comment.

The Rupert Murdoch-owned daily has drawn the ire of Yemeni Americans after it accused Omar of downplaying the grave human cost of the 9/11 attacks.

"Here's your something: 2,977 people dead by terrorism," the paper's front page said on Thursday, referring to Omar's comment in which she described the terrorist attack as "some people did something." A full-page photo of the World Trade Center towers burning on September 11, 2001 was used as a backdrop.
