On Monday, leftist billionaire George Soros, who has spent millions attempting to turn the conservative bastion of Texas blue, will launch a new initiative called “Blue Texas” as part of the efforts of Texas Majority PAC.
Blue Texas is aiming to recruit candidates and volunteers in conjunction with Texas’ state and county Democratic parties. “If a win is on the table in 2026, we don’t want to leave it there by not being organized,” Katherine Fischer, deputy executive director of Texas Majority PAC, declared. “There is no choice for Texas or for anyone else in the country who wants to see a Democrat in the White House after 2032 but to find a pathway through Texas.”
“Soros, the billionaire investor and philanthropist, <a href="https://archive.is/o/GN1E7/https:/www.wsj.com/us-news/elon-musk-texas-da-jose-garza-oust-atempt-206db043">has devoted millions</a> to turning Texas blue in the past and donated $2.1 million to Texas Majority in 2024 and $1 million in April, records show,” The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/group-backed-by-george-soros-to-plow-millions-into-turning-texas-blue-4dfa75bf">noted</a>. “Texas Majority, the Texas Democratic Party and the nearly dozen county parties under the Blue Texas alliance collectively spent about $35 million in the 2024 election cycle.” Organizers expect to raise even more money for 2026.
In the 2024 presidential election, President Trump crushed former Vice President Kamala Harris in Texas by almost 14 percentage points. The last Democrat president to win the state was Jimmy Carter in 1976; the last Democratic U.S. Senator from Texas was Lloyd Bentsen in 1988.
One possible target for Democrats is GOP Senator John Cornyn’s seat; he is being challenged in the GOP primary by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Polls show Democrat Colin Allred, who ran far better against GOP senator Ted Cruz than Harris did against Trump, is competitive with Paxton in a general election.
In 2022, Soros <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/george-soros-drops-50m-donation-dem-pac-doubling-midterm-spending">donated $50 million</a> to an American leftist PAC shortly after the November 2022 elections. Soros donated the funds to Democracy PAC, whose president was his son, Alexander, a source who examined the PAC’s new Federal Elections Commission filing reported to <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/07/george-soros-midterm-super-pac-00072797">POLITICO</a>. That was in addition to the $125 million he gave the group in January 2022.
Soros invested tens of millions of dollars into getting progressive district attorneys elected in 75 cities across the United States, analysts with the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF) reported.

By late 2022, Soros had invested about $40 million over the past decade to elect dozens of progressive prosecutors, including many in the most populated U.S. cities. Soros-backed prosecutors represented one-fifth of all Americans, and they held office in half of the top 50 most populated U.S. cities and counties.
“Soros is using that campaign money and the hundreds of millions more for supporting organizations to quietly transform the criminal justice system for the worse, promoting dangerous policies and anti-police narratives to advance his radical agenda,” LELDF President Jason Johnson told <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/washington-secrets/report-soros-spent-40-million-to-elect-75-social-justice-prosecutors">The Washington Examiner</a>, the first to publish the analysis.
“Over the past decade, George Soros has spent $40 million to elect 75 of his chosen prosecutors. In campaigns from Houston and Los Angeles to Philadelphia and Orlando, Soros was the campaign&#8217;s biggest spender by far — as much as 90% of the dollars spent in some races. Soros isn&#8217;t done yet — he&#8217;s already spent another million so far this year on his hand-picked district attorneys,” Johnson said.

A news reporter at Los Angeles&#8217; ABC News affiliate, speaking over video footage of riots where leftists were burning cars to protest Trump administration immigration policies, described the situation to viewers as “just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn.”
The ABC 7 reporter made the comments while declaring, “It could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement in there and turn what is just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation and altercation between officers and demonstrators.”
<iframe loading="lazy" title="LIVE: Immigration protest underway in LA" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HH7DPreBh1g?start=9822&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Meanwhile, on Monday, after a weekend of rioting, the usual suspects in the media either offered their support for illegal immigrants or attacked the Trump administration for getting involved in the incendiary situation. The Los Angeles Times published an article titled, “<a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-06-08/rights-explainer-immigration-crackdown">Feds vow to continue immigration enforcement ‘every day in L.A.’ Here are your rights</a>.”
“Businesses should ensure that employees know their rights and that they should refrain from engaging with ICE officials, according to the National Employment Law Project,” the Times wrote.
“Trump Jumps at the Chance for a Confrontation in California Over Immigration,” The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/us/politics/trump-california-immigration.html">blared</a> in response to the riots, adding, “The situation has all the elements that the president seeks: a showdown with a top political rival in a deep blue state over an issue core to his agenda.”
&#8220;In bypassing the authority of Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, a Democrat, to call in the National Guard to quell protests in the Los Angeles area over his administration’s efforts to deport more migrants, Mr. Trump is now pushing the boundaries of presidential authority and stoking criticism that he is inflaming the situation for political gain,” the Times continued.
“The easiest way to understand this is not that Los Angeles has suddenly turned into a metropolis riddled with criminal immigrants who are holding it hostage,” the Washington Post echoed. “The easiest way to understand this is that the president and his administration have been looking to California as they have been looking to crush any center of power that he views as adversarial. &#8230; the administration by all appearances seeks to make an example of California and of any leaders who oppose its efforts.”

The American autonomous driving technology company Waymo has suspended service in downtown Los Angeles after several of its robotaxis were set on fire by anti-ICE activists over the weekend.
At least five Waymo vehicles were set ablaze on Sunday, prompting the company to remove its vehicles from the downtown Los Angeles area and suspend service, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2025/06/09/los-angeles-protests-live-updates--27-people-arrested-as-lapd-declares-unlawful-assembly-in-some-areas/">Forbes</a> reported.
“To our media partners, demonstrators and others who may enter the area of Los Angeles St, North of Arcadia and South of Alameda: Burning lithium-ion batteries release toxic gases, including hydrogen fluoride, posing risks to responders and those nearby. Please avoid the area,” the LAPD warned on X on Sunday.

After anti-ICE activists blocked the 101 Freeway on Sunday afternoon, some approached “five Waymo taxis lined up on Los Angeles Street between Arcadia and Alameda streets around 5 p.m.,” the Los Angeles Times <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-06-08/waymo-vehicles-set-on-fire-protesters-police-clash">reported</a>. “Tires were slashed, windows smashed, and anti-ICE messages spray-painted over the self-driving taxis &#8230; Protesters swarmed around the vehicles, tearing the doors off and stomping on the windshields. One man with a mask over his face smashed car windows with a skateboard. Another appeared to use a makeshift flamethrower to set the interior of a car ablaze.”
“According to <a style="font-style: inherit;" href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/stocks/robotaxis-cant-be-a-solo-act-9a787252?gaa_at=eafs&amp;gaa_n=ASWzDAjuoaQrWW8nwZGwCoTU9l6rOqZdMNUqTEYkUCF_BHsnaK3jpRovTyPsT6EkpLI%3D&amp;gaa_ts=68463fc6&amp;gaa_sig=U8VRq9FIl_UyCzWx6Oru3QSJgOVrorrtFHQFQMYQ4AjzdK-h5HtxGswjcR14lzanswGlbTlsmWCRzUGOJVuoTg%3D%3D">a 2024 report by the Wall Street Journal</a>, analysts estimated Waymo’s driverless cars cost between $150,000 and $200,000 apiece,” KTLA <a href="https://ktla.com/news/local-news/waymos-lit-on-fire-ktla-van-defaced-as-los-angeles-protests-spin-out-of-control/">noted</a>. “With the five burning robotaxis, the cost of damages would amount to roughly between $750,000 to $1 million, based on WSJ’s estimate.”
Waymo was originally the Google Self-Driving Project, a research and development effort within Google X.  In 2016, the project was rebranded as Waymo and moved under Alphabet, Google&#8217;s parent company.

The Department of Transportation (DOT) is revising fuel economy standards to make cars more affordable for Americans.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is resetting the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards and medium and heavy-duty fuel efficiency programs (MDHD). NHTSA&#8217;s Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards regulate how far vehicles must travel on a gallon of fuel. The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) of 1975 directs the Secretary of Transportation and the NHTSA to prescribe average fuel economy standards for vehicles.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, we are making vehicles more affordable and easier to manufacture in the United States. The previous administration illegally used CAFE standards as an electric vehicle mandate – raising new car prices and reducing safety. Resetting CAFE standards as Congress intended will lower vehicle costs and ensure the American people can purchase the cars they want,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy <a href="https://www.transportation.gov/briefing-room/trumps-transportation-secretary-sean-p-duffy-announces-key-step-toward-making-cars">stated</a>.

“EPCA was passed in the context of the Arab oil embargoes of the 1970s when American consumers and the U.S. economy were threatened by gasoline shortages and high fuel prices,” DOT <a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/2025-06/cafe-interpretive-rule-2127-ZA26-web.pdf">notes</a>, adding, “the purpose of the CAFE program was to induce automakers into offering America’s consumers more efficient vehicle options to advance the national goal of conserving energy &#8230; The statutory prohibition was clear at the time of enactment and has remained clear: it is impermissible for NHTSA to consider the fuel economy of dedicated automobiles in setting maximum feasible fuel economy standards.”
“NHTSA will reset the CAFE and MDHD standards programs consistent with the law,” DOT stated. “This interpretation lays the appropriate groundwork for standard-setting rulemakings that will rest the agency’s regulatory programs as determined necessary to bring them into compliance with Administration policy and applicable substantive statutory requirements as enacted by Congress &#8230;”
On the day he was inaugurated, President Donald Trump issued <a href="https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-01956.pdf">Executive Order</a> 14154, in which he stated, “It is the policy of the United States to ensure that all regulatory requirements related to energy are grounded in clearly applicable law; to eliminate the ‘electric vehicle (EV) mandate’ and promote true consumer choice, which is essential for economic growth and innovation, by removing regulatory barriers to motor vehicle access; by ensuring a level regulatory playing field for consumer choice in vehicles; by terminating, where appropriate, state emissions waivers that function to limit sales of gasoline-powered automobiles &#8230;”

An event at Princeton University on April 7 featuring the former Prime Minister of Israel, Naftali Bennett, was disrupted and later forced to end by anti-Israel student-activists, who, while masked, then targeted the attendees with antisemitic verbal attacks as they left the event. But Princeton has still not punished the student-activists.
“First came chants about ‘genocide,’” The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/princeton-naftali-bennett-protest-israel-hamas-christopher-eisgruber-1a8f203e?gaa_at=eafs&amp;gaa_n=ASWzDAirg9z9ydWMIOEDmp4dTLRiKljtvi6ACet8f06hhiKLAQW6YzDarXYT3fXV0bE%3D&amp;gaa_ts=6837034c&amp;gaa_sig=lWHn6lI0Qgoi7Z6neLaf8m0i3ZbqF0FaEmSQCqINz3w4lpqJ8Hx76uykVzZQ5shmHbqtO_ZFexclffWQA25jkQ%3D%3D">reported</a>. “Then the hall’s fire alarm was triggered. ‘Outside the building, about 200 pro-Palestine protesters chanted, screamed and banged on drums,’ the Daily Princetonian said. Two students wrote&#8230;to President Christopher Eisgruber that people in the crowd yelled ‘go back to Europe,’ and that agitators aimed ‘triangle imagery at Jewish students, in reference to the Hamas symbol used to target Western enemies.’”
Christopher L. Eisgruber <a href="https://paw.princeton.edu/article/princeton-opens-investigation-after-protesters-disrupt-event-former-israeli-prime-minister">stated</a> that he was “appalled at reports of antisemitic language directed by demonstrators at members of our community after” the event, and added that &#8220;the University is investigating and will pursue disciplinary measures as appropriate, to the extent any members of the Princeton University community are implicated.”
Princeton wrote in a letter to Danielle Shapiro, a May graduate who serves on the board of Princetonians for Free Speech (PFS), that no students would be punished. Shapiro <a href="https://www.khq.com/princeton-fails-to-enforce-its-rules-on-free-speech-antisemitism/article_aced6d66-0e1a-5f7b-a522-feedb65c5e9c.html">noted</a>, “The university says it cannot punish people who were shouting antisemitic slurs because it cannot identify them since it was dark and they were wearing masks. Yet the university says nothing about implementing a policy banning masks in certain situations, even though I specifically requested it do so and even though many universities are doing so, including the entire University of California system.”

“We searched carefully and could find no public announcement, no press release, nor anything on the University’s website about the investigation’s results,” Princetonians for Free Speech <a href="https://princetoniansforfreespeech.org/blogs/news/princeton-declines-to-punish-students-who-disrupted-event-and-shouted-antisemitic-slurs-in-violation-of-rules">stated</a>. “The only mention of it we can find anywhere is a short story in the Princeton Alumni Weekly on May 21. It appears that on that date, <a href="https://paw.princeton.edu/sites/default/files/2025-05/Statement%20About%20Bennett%20Investigation%20May%2021.pdf">Princeton sent an email summary of the report to PAW</a>, and possibly to a few others. But this was, as Ms. Shapiro notes in her article, after she had indicated to Princeton officials that she might make the letter public. Is Princeton trying to hide this report and, with the end of the school year, duck the entire issue?”
“The May 21 statement underplays what happened, as is shown on videos,” PFS pointed out. “For example, the statement adds gratuitously: ‘Several witnesses expressed their view that the individuals who made the antisemitic remarks outside the venue were likely unaffiliated with the University.; Really? First, they were not ‘remarks;’ they were screaming insults of the vilest kind. Second, this is total speculation, not fact, and probably from people who had a self-interest in leaving that impression. We do not know because the report does not say who they were. The University says it cannot identify anyone because it was dark and protesters were wearing masks, and yet cites this speculation. How could the ‘witnesses’ know?”

While the Trump administration has been negotiating with Iran about eliminating its capacity to enrich uranium and thus develop nuclear weapons, Iran has ordered thousands of tons of ammonium perchlorate — a chemical compound which functions as a ballistic-missile ingredient — from China.
<a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/iran-orders-material-from-china-for-hundreds-of-ballistic-missiles-1e874701" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Wall Street Journal</a> reported that, according to its sources, the shipments “are expected to reach Iran in coming months and could fuel hundreds of ballistic missiles.” The sources named an Iranian company, Pishgaman Tejarat Rafi Novin Co., as having ordered the chemicals from Hong Kong-based Lion Commodities Holdings Ltd.
In early April, the Times of London <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/world/middle-east/article/iran-arming-proxy-forces-iraq-long-range-missiles-5wpdx0w82">reported</a>, “Iran has transferred long-range missiles to its proxy forces in Iraq for the first time &#8230; The Times has learnt that Tehran has been bulking up its presence in the region by supplying a new batch of weapons to powerful Shia militias in Iraq &#8230; It was the first time long-range surface-to-surface missiles had been in the possession of an Iran-allied militia in Iraq.”

“Ammonium perchlorate makes up 70% of the standard fuel load of most of Iran’s solid-fueled ballistic missiles,” The Maritime Executive has <a href="https://maritime-executive.com/article/second-shipload-of-ballistic-missile-fuel-nears-iran">noted</a>. “Iranian ballistic missiles which use ammonium perchlorate include medium range Khybar-Shikan and Fattah missiles, and the shorter range Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar missiles. In original and variant form, these have been widely exported to Russia and Axis of Resistance allies, and have been used to attack shipping at sea and targets in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Israel and Ukraine, as well as in the attacks causing injuries to American service personnel at Al Asad in Iraq.”
At the end of April, the Treasury Department designated “six entities and six individuals based in Iran and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) for their role in a network procuring ballistic missile propellant ingredients on behalf of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).”
“This network has facilitated the procurement of sodium perchlorate and dioctyl sebacate from the PRC to Iran,” the Treasury Department <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0116">pointed out</a>. “Sodium perchlorate is used to produce ammonium perchlorate, which is controlled by the <a href="https://www.state.gov/bureau-of-international-security-and-nonproliferation/releases/2025/01/missile-technology-control-regime-mtcr-frequently-asked-questions">Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR)</a>, a multilateral political understanding among states that seek to limit the proliferation of missiles and missile technology.  Both ammonium perchlorate and dioctyl sebacate are chemicals usable in solid propellant rocket motors, which are commonly used for ballistic missiles.”
“In November 2022, U.S. naval forces said they intercepted a vessel in the Gulf of Oman carrying over 70 tons of ammonium perchlorate on a route commonly used by Iran to send weapons to the Houthis in Yemen,” The Wall Street Journal wrote.

After hard-Left Democrat Boston Mayor Michelle Wu seemingly compared ICE agents to Nazis, the Department of Homeland Security fired back, calling the apparent comparison “sickening.”
“I don&#8217;t know of any police department that routinely wears masks. We know that there are other groups that routinely wear masks. NSC-131 routinely wears masks,” Wu told reporters.
“Mayor, just to clarify, are you comparing ICE to  — you said — to NSC-131, a neo-Nazi group? Are you comparing them to a neo-Nazi group?” a reporter asked.
“What I said is that Boston police, and no police department that I know of at the local level, routinely wears masks” she answered.

“Mayor Wu comparing ICE agents to neo-Nazis is SICKENING,” DHS wrote on X. “When our heroic law enforcement officers conduct operations, they clearly identify themselves as law enforcement while wearing masks to protect themselves from being targeted by known and suspected gang members, murders, and rapists.

A member of the United Front Work Department, an intelligence division of the Chinese Communist Party, served as co-chairman of a group that <a href="https://abc3340.com/news/nation-world/fundraiser-behind-boston-mayor-wus-2021-campaign-has-ties-to-ccp">helped raise</a> $300,000 for Wu’s 2021 mayoral campaign. Gary Yu, the co-chairman of the New England Chinese American Alliance, is listed under a different name vis-à-vis the United Front Work Department.
After saying he would go to Boston, “bringing hell with me” after the Boston police commissioner said he would not aid ICE in finding illegal immigrants, border czar Tom Homan was accused of lying about the city by Wu in March. Homan reported that he had made good on his promise and led a team that reportedly found 370 illegal aliens in Boston and surrounding areas, with a majority being significant criminals.
On February 16, Democrat-appointed Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/boston-police-commissioner-doubles-down-ice-resistance-we-dont-enforce-detainers">echoed</a> Wu, who had promised resistance to the deportations enforced by the Trump administration. Cox said Boston police officers “don’t have authority to enforce federal immigration law.” When asked if his perspective countered federal immigration law, Cox said the Boston Police Department has pretty defined rules and abides by state law.
Speaking at CPAC on February 22, Homan said he would go to Boston while quoting Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp in the classic Western film “Tombstone”:
<blockquote>
I read a story last night, the police commissioner of Boston, you said you’d double down on not helping the law enforcement officers of ICE. I’m coming to Boston. I’m bringing hell with me. I looked at the numbers this morning; I stopped counting at nine. Nine child rapists that were in jail in Massachusetts, but rather than honoring an ICE detainer, released them back into the street. You’re not a police commissioner; take that badge off your chest, put it in the desk drawer. You became a politician. You forgot what it’s like to be a cop. And guess what? The men and women of Immigration and Custom Enforcement, they found those predators, and they’re locked back up, and we’re going to deport them from the United States.

A 37-year-old Muslim man from Michigan who planned to “even the score” and use guns for “God&#8217;s wrath” after threatening Jewish preschoolers pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Hassan Chokr, of Dearborn, Michigan, “aggressively targeted Jewish parents and their preschool children at a local synagogue in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. After unleashing a menacing antisemitic tirade against them, he lied and attempted to buy several firearms at a Dearborn gun store,” the Department of Justice <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-edmi/pr/hassan-chokr-pleads-guilty-illegally-possessing-firearms-after-antisemitic-tirade">stated</a>.
“In December 2022, Chokr, 37, drove through the parking lot of a Jewish synagogue as parents walked their preschoolers into the building, yelling profanities and attacking their support for Israel,” the DOJ noted. “After being asked to leave, Chokr drove to a gun store in Dearborn. While there, he possessed a Landor Arms, 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun; a Del-ton, 5.56mm rifle; and a Glock, 9mm semi-automatic pistol. He held each firearm, and at times pointed it and pulled the trigger. After deciding to purchase the three firearms, Chokr lied about his eligibility to possess firearms by indicating that he had never been convicted of a felony offense when in fact, he had been convicted of a felony several years prior. While awaiting the results of the background check, Chokr indicated that he would ‘even the score’ and use the guns for ‘God’s wrath.’”
“Chokr’s attempt to purchase several deadly firearms in an apparent attempt to follow through on his menacing threats against parents and preschoolers as they walked into a place of worship represents every American’s worst nightmare,” United States Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon Jr. stated. “And we will not allow anyone to terrorize our Jewish neighbors. We are committed to protecting every American and their right to live and worship free of fear.”
Temple Beth El in Bloomfield Hills, the purported synagogue where the children were targeted, was the <a href="https://www.tbeonline.org/about-us/history/">first</a> Jewish congregation in the state of Michigan, established in Detroit in 1850. The site moved to Bloomfield Hills in 1973.

Chokr, whose case was investigated by the FBI, faces a maximum sentence of up to 15 years’ imprisonment.

Vermont Democrat Congresswoman Becca Balint, the state’s first female and openly gay member of Congress, slammed the Trump administration’s actions toward immigrants while declaring that if immigration is decreased, “We’re not gonna have anybody around to wipe our a**es.”
Speaking at a town hall in Newport, Vermont, Balint launched into a diatribe in which she posited that there weren’t enough people in America &#8220;to fill the jobs we have right now.&#8221;
“We all know our AG system in Vermont would collapse without migrant labor; that’s just a reality. That’s the reality,” she began. “We know our economy is completely bound up in immigration and migrant labor, and of course, we have to come to a place in Congress where it is no longer a political issue but we see it as an existential issue for the country. If we don’t have avenues for people to come here legally to work or to build a home here — I’m gonna be really crude right now, we’re not gonna have anybody around to wipe our a**es, because we don’t have enough people in our country now to fill the jobs that we have right now.”
“But we have to make sure those folks are getting a decent wage and making sure that their rights are protected,” she continued, then offering a bone to those who want secure borders, saying, “And we also have to make sure that we have an adult conversation in Congress about the give and take and how this works, because it is not a xenophobic or racist thing for people to say they want to know our borders are secure. That alone is not.”

Then she segued to attacking the Trump administration: “What falls apart is how policies are enacted, and right now, we have a fair amount of lawlessness that is happening among ICE and Homeland Security that was not anything, I think, that most voters wanted. What they wanted was to know there was a secure border, that there would be pathways to citizenship, and rules would be the same for everybody. The problem is right now people are following the rules, and every step of the way and they are still being carted off and kidnapped and not being allowed to have access to their attorneys.”

Balint told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dem-lambasted-saying-were-not-going-have-anyone-around-wipe-more-immigration">Fox News</a> of President Trump: “He has made immigrants, regardless of status, feel unsafe and targeted all around the country. As Vermonters, we’re so proud that we are seen as a safe place to land. I’m unwavering in my position that immigrants and refugees are welcome in Vermont and that every worker in every job deserves dignity and fair wages — from doctors and scientists to carpenters and farmworkers. &#8230; I’ve relentlessly condemned the Trump administration’s cruel practices targeting and separating immigrant families, and I will continue to stand up for the rights of every person in this country.”

Evidence has been presented that an antisemitic activist who protested against Israel on Columbia University’s campus had a direct link to Hamas.
Tarek Bazrouk, 20, a New York native who has been indicted for three federal hate crimes against Jews, was “a member of a chat group that received regular updates from Abu Obeida,” the official spokesperson for Hamas’ deadly al-Qassam Brigades, <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/04/us-news/protestor-tarek-bazrouk-had-link-to-hamas-militants-doj/">the New York Post</a> said in an exclusive report.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“As alleged, on three separate occasions, Tarek Bazrouk deliberately targeted and assaulted Jewish victims at protests relating to the Israel/Gaza war,” U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/new-york-man-charged-federal-hate-crimes-after-repeatedly-assaulting-jewish-victims">stated</a>. “Despite being arrested after each incident, Bazrouk allegedly remained undeterred and quickly returned to using violence to target Jews in New York City.”
The Department of Justice stated:
<blockquote>
According to court documents, pursuant to judicially authorized warrants, law enforcement subsequently searched a cellphone used by Bazrouk. Evidence from that device revealed Bazrouk’s anti-Semitic bias and his support for anti-Jewish terrorist groups including Hamas, demonstrating his motivation for repeatedly assaulting Jewish victims. In text messages, for example, Bazrouk identified himself as a “Jew hater,” labeled Jews as “worthless,” extorted “Allah” to “get us rid of [Jews],” called an acquittance [sic] a “F***ing Jew,” and told a friend to “slap that b***h” in reference to a woman with an Israeli sticker on her laptop. Bazrouk also told a friend that he was “mad happy” to have learned that certain of his family members overseas are part of Hamas. 
</blockquote>
“He also had a picture of Obeida and one of an individual waving a Hamas flag, and an al-Qassam Brigades meme, which reads: ‘By God I would not trade the Al Qassam Brigades for the world and everything in it. May God be pleased with them and allow them to break the wicked enemy through him,&#8217;” the Post noted, adding, “Prosecutors also claimed that Bazrouk had traveled to the West Bank and Jordan for approximately three weeks in September and October 2024, which also poses questions regarding what he was doing there.”
When Barzouk was arrested, federal agents discovered $750,000 in cash in a safe at his home. His attorney insisted the money was likely profit from his job at a smoke shop.

In response to the Trump administration&#8217;s announcement that the family of the accused terrorist who attacked a group of Jews in Colorado, was being deported, USA Today ran a piece bemoaning the fate of the suspect’s high-school daughter, who just graduated and said she wanted to be a doctor.

Now she faces deportation,&#8221; says that her &#8220;life had been headed in a positive direction before the attack on the weekly demonstration in support of Israeli hostages held in Gaza.&#8221;
&#8220;Habiba Soliman moved to the U.S. hoping to study medicine,&#8221; author Michael Loria writes. &#8220;Then her father Mohamed Soliman was charged with a hate crime in an attack aimed at peaceful Jewish demonstrators.&#8221;

Mohamed Soliman, 45, planned the vicious attack — in which he hurled Molotov cocktails at Jews at a pro-Israel rally, setting them afire and injuring 12 people while yelling “Free Palestine” — for a year but <a href="https://6abc.com/post/boulder-attack-updates-suspect-mohamed-sabry-soliman-booked-charges-act-terror-makeshift-flamethrower/16631344/">waited</a> until his daughter graduated high school to carry it out.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, Soliman — born in Egypt —  is in the U.S. illegally, entering the country in August 2022 on a B2 visa and filing for asylum in September 2022, eventually receiving a work permit that expired in March of this year.

In a televised speech on Wednesday, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei <a href="https://www.iranintl.com/en/202506044672" target="_blank" rel="noopener">taunted</a> the United States and the Trump administration over its demand that Iran stop enriching uranium, declaring, “The first word of the US is that Iran should not have a nuclear industry and should rely on the United States. Our response to the US nonsense is clear: they cannot do a damn thing in this matter.”
Khamenei spoke at the mausoleum of Islamic Republic founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in Tehran on the 36th anniversary of his death.
On Monday, President Donald Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114616038217949758">posted</a> on Truth Social, &#8220;The AUTOPEN should have stopped Iran a long time ago from &#8216;enriching.&#8217; Under our potential Agreement — WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM!&#8221;
“The rude and arrogant leaders of America repeatedly demand that we should not have a nuclear program. Who are you to decide whether Iran should have an enrichment?” Khamenei jeered.
The Trump administration’s proposal for a nuclear deal was presented by Oman, which is acting as a mediator.
“Why are you interfering?” Khamenei said to the United States. “Whether Iran enriches uranium or not — what does it have to do with you? Who are you?”
Later on Wednesday, Iran&#8217;s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi <a href="https://x.com/araghchi/status/1930219219746009302" target="_blank" rel="noopener">echoed</a> on X, “There is no scenario in which we will give up on the patriots who made our dream come true. No enrichment, no deal. No nuclear weapons, we have a deal.”
Iran’s nuclear chief, Mohammad Eslami, <a href="https://www.iranintl.com/en/202506049481" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> to Khamenei, “I assure [you] that&#8230; we will stand against the excessive demands of the United States and other hegemonic powers.”
Meanwhile, Iran’s Defense Minister, Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh, <a href="https://www.iranintl.com/en/liveblog/202505293262#202506042552]" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mocked</a> Israel on Wednesday, saying, “Israel does not have the power to threaten Iran. Iran’s strength prevents them from doing so. Those who can actually threaten don’t speak this way. They are incapable.”
Last October, Israel launched an airstrike on Iran that <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/israels-strike-iran-took-missile-defense-systems-islamic-republic-is-essentially-naked" target="_blank" rel="noopener">destroyed</a> three of Iran&#8217;s Russian-made S-300 missile defense systems. Israel had wiped out the fourth five months before, in April 2024. &#8220;The majority of Iran’s air defense was taken out,&#8221; a senior <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/world/world-regions/israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israeli official</a> told Fox News. Amos Hochstein, Middle East advisor to former President Joe Biden, admitted, “Iran is essentially naked” without a missile defense.
In the same airstrike, Israeli warplanes also destroyed radar systems Iran used to guide ballistic missiles. Roughly three weeks before, Iran had fired 181 ballistic missiles at Israel.
