Feds Raid California Home Harboring Iranian Nationals With Terrorism Ties

<p>President Donald Trump is set to visit Florida&#8217;s newest illegal alien detention facility — dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” — later today. Officials say the site will not only increase the federal government’s holding capacity, but also provide ICE with a detention facility that is nearly impossible to break out of.</p>
<p>Construction began on the location, an old aircraft training site, in early June, and the facility is expected to have space for around 5,000 illegal aliens. It is expected to be operational this week and will include laundry facilities, air conditioning, and medical care.</p>
<p>The facility’s construction costs, Department of Homeland Security officials say, will be paid for in part by FEMA funds that were used under the Biden administration to house illegal aliens in hotels.</p>
<p>The site’s nickname is a nod to the harsh conditions that made escape from the notorious California prison, Alcatraz, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/">incredibly treacherous</a> and virtually impossible. Though Alligator Alcatraz isn’t tucked away on an island like its namesake, the facility’s security is similarly bolstered by a harsh landscape that would require escapees to contend with the forces of nature.</p>
<p>Satellite <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/satellite-images-florida-alligator-alcatraz-facility-2089792">images</a> indicate that the ICE detention facility is being built at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, a 39-square-mile site nestled deep within Florida’s Everglades, a nearly 40 mile drive from Miami.</p>
<p>Illegal aliens detained at the new ICE facility have little hope of escape. If they were to make it out of the detention facility’s walls, they’d be forced to navigate forests, marshes, challenging terrain, and a variety of fearsome predators — including, but not limited to, alligators — as they make a grueling trek towards civilization.</p>
<p>Both White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis touted the security of the site, and the natural deterrents that await illegal aliens who somehow break out of the facility.</p>
<p>“There is only one road leading in and the only way out is a one-way flight,&#8221; <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-alligator-alcatraz-detention-center-florida/">Leavitt noted</a>. &#8220;It is isolated, and surrounded by dangerous wildlife in unforgiving terrain.&#8221;</p>
<p>“They ain&#8217;t going anywhere once they&#8217;re there, unless you want them to go somewhere,&#8221; DeSantis added. “Because good luck getting to civilization. So the security is amazing — natural and otherwise.”</p>
<p>If illegal alien escapees were somehow able to walk along the one road connecting the facility to the western edge of Miami, it would take anywhere from 10 to 12 hours to make it to the city on foot. But the route would almost certainly result in their recapture, forcing escapees to brave the surrounding marshlands, waterways, forests, and swamps that separate Alligator Alcatraz from the city.</p>
<p>Satellite images show the facility — the long vertical runway on the west side of the map — up against a sprawling marsh.</p>

<p>The Everglades are home to several predators, perhaps most notably, the American alligator. Growing up to <a href="https://www.nps.gov/ever/learn/nature/alligator.htm">15 feet long</a> and weighing up to 1,100 pounds, the American alligator is among the most fearsome animals on the North American continent and the species is known to be common in the Everglades.</p>
<p>“Do not swim, snorkel, or dive … in any canal, pond, freshwater lake, marked channel, or boat basin,” the National Park Service <a href="https://www.nps.gov/ever/faqs.htm#:~:text=Stay%20a%20safe%20distance%20from,or%20basking%20alligators%20or%20crocodiles.">warns visitors</a> to the Everglades.</p>
<p>Escapees from the ICE detention facility would also run the risk of encountering the Burmese python, an invasive species with no natural predators in the region that can grow up to 20 feet long.</p>
<p>Experts aren’t sure just how many Burmese pythons are roaming around the Everglades, with Rory Feeney, the bureau chief of land resources at the South Florida Water Management District, <a href="https://www.history.com/articles/burmese-python-invasion-florida-everglades">saying</a> that “it could be tens of thousands, or it could be hundreds of thousands.” The population is so difficult to estimate, experts say, because of the challenging and often inaccessible terrain of the Everglades. The Everglades are also home to the <a href="https://bergeronevergladesfoundation.org/the-florida-black-bear/#:~:text=Florida%20black%20bears%20are%20found,wetland%20habitats%20of%20the%20Everglades.">black bears</a> and a <a href="https://www.nps.gov/ever/learn/nature/floridapanther.htm#:~:text=Panthers%20in%20Everglades%20National%20Park,or%20low%20water%20level%20areas.">dwindling number</a> of Florida panthers.</p>
<p>“It presents an efficient, low-cost opportunity to build a temporary detention facility because you don&#8217;t need to invest that much in the perimeter,&#8221; Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier <a href="https://abc7ny.com/post/what-is-alligator-alcatraz-florida-ag-james-uthmeier-proposes-migrant-detention-center-everglades/16848113/">said</a> of Alligator Alcatraz. “If people get out, there&#8217;s not much waiting for them other than alligators and pythons.”</p>

Why It Might Be Impossible For Illegals To Escape Florida’s ‘Alligator Alcatraz’

<p>Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials say CNN has endangered the lives of federal agents after the news network promoted an iPhone app used to “track ICE activity in real time” in an article published on Monday.</p>
<p>Called ICEBlock, CNN noted that the app encourages users to report ICE sightings and pinpoint the locations of federal agents to help illegal aliens avoid arrest.</p>
<p>“Users can tap the map to report an ICE sighting in their area, and then everybody who uses the platform within five miles of that sighting will get a push alert,” a CNN reporter said before adding that the application’s users remain anonymous.</p>

<p>The app <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/30/tech/iceblock-app-trump-immigration-crackdown">reportedly</a> has more than 20,000 users. The developer behind it describes the platform as an “early warning system.”</p>
<p>ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons slammed CNN, <a href="https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/statement-ice-acting-director-todd-m-lyons-news-coverage-ice-spotting-app">accusing</a> the outlet of putting the lives of federal law enforcement agents at risk. “CNN’s promotion of an ‘ICE spotting’ app is reckless and irresponsible,” Lyons charged. “Advertising an app that basically paints a target on federal law enforcement officers’ backs is sickening.”</p>

<p>“CNN is willfully endangering the lives of officers who put their lives on the line every day and enabling dangerous criminal aliens to evade U.S. law,” he went on to add. “Is this simply reckless &#8216;journalism&#8217; or overt activism?”</p>
<p>During Monday&#8217;s White House briefing, Daily Wire reporter Mary Margaret Olohan asked Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about CNN&#8217;s promotion of ICEBlock.</p>

<p>“Our ICE enforcement officers are seeing a 500% increase in assaults against them, and a lot of this is because politicians like AOC, like Governor Tim Walz, like Gavin Newsom demonize our ICE enforcement officers and give them free passes,” McLaughlin charged.</p>

<p>Zohran Mamdani, the socialist who is the Democratic nominee in New York City’s mayoral race, wants to “shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods.”</p>
<p>Mamdani, a far-left 33-year-old Muslim who became an American citizen in 2018, detailed his plan in a <a href="https://pdfhost.io/v/sTRKnd9Qtc_Homeowner_Policy_Memo">policy memo</a> that insists “the cityʼs property tax system favors wealthier homeowners in gentrifying neighborhoods.” According to the campaign document, Mamdani wants to lower the tax burden for homeowners in lower-income neighborhoods while &#8220;raising the amount paid in the most expensive Brooklyn brownstones.”</p>
<p>Mamdani&#8217;s proposal to target &#8220;whiter neighborhoods&#8221; is one of many radical policy objectives, along with city-owned grocery stores, defunding the police, and freezing rent. The leftist state assemblyman has drawn the ire of Republicans and moderates across the country.</p>
<p>Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) even called for Mamdani to be stripped of his American citizenship in a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, saying the Democratic socialist expressed support for foreign terror organizations, a reference to Mamdani&#8217;s self-professed &#8220;love&#8221; for a group of individuals convicted of funneling money to Hamas.</p>
<p>“Zohran ‘little muhammad’ Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York,” Ogles said as he <a href="https://x.com/RepOgles/status/1938301392416084150">shared the letter</a> to Bondi on social media. “He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings.”</p>
<p>New York billionaire Bill Ackman has already <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/billionaire-pledges-to-bankroll-any-nyc-mayoral-candidate-who-can-beat-zohran-mamdani?author=Nathan+Gay&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Billionaire+Pledges+To+Bankroll+Any+NYC+Mayoral+Candidate+Who+Can+Beat+Zohran+Mamdani">pledged</a> millions of dollars to the effort to stop Mamdani from being elected. “There are hundreds of millions of dollars of capital available to back a competitor to Mamdani that can be put together overnight,” the Pershing Square Capital founder and CEO said.</p>
<p>Mamdani came out ahead of former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in an upset victory in the Democratic primary and is now set to face off against incumbent Democratic Mayor Eric Adams, who is running as an independent in November&#8217;s general election.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>

Socialist NYC Mayoral Candidate Wants To Hit ‘Whiter Neighborhoods’ With Higher Taxes

<p>The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on Friday to uphold a Texas law requiring users to verify their age before accessing pornography, handing a defeat to a trade organization for the porn industry.</p>
<p>The case, <em>Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton</em>, focused on a requirement for users to demonstrate that they are 18 years old or older to access pornographic websites. The law prompted PornHub to <a href="https://versustexas.com/blog/age-verification-law-texas/">suspend access</a> for all Texas users while claiming that the legislation infringed on free speech.</p>
<p>The ruling affirms a lower court&#8217;s decision against a trade group working on behalf of the pornography industry.</p>
<p>“Age-verification laws … fall within States’ authority to shield children from sexually explicit content. The First Amendment leaves undisturbed States’ traditional power to prevent minors from accessing speech that is obscene from their perspective,” Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/23-1122_3e04.pdf">wrote</a>. “That power necessarily includes the power to require proof of age before an individual can access such speech.”</p>
<p>“The power to verify age is a necessary component of the power to prevent children’s access to content that is obscene from their perspective,” Thomas went on to note, adding that the legislation “falls within Texas’s traditional power to protect minors from speech that is obscene from their perspective.”</p>
<p>Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan dissented, alongside Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson.</p>
<p>“For adults cannot be limited to ‘only what is fit for children,’” Kagan wrote in the dissenting opinion. “Their right to view ‘[s]exual expression,’ outside the traditional obscenity category, is ‘protected by the First Amendment,’” she went on to say before charging that Texas’ law “impedes the exercise of that right.”</p>
<p>“It imposes what our First Amendment decisions often call a ‘chilling effect,’” Kagan said of the law.</p>
<p>The Supreme Court’s ruling could clear the way for other states to impose age restrictions on pornographic websites, with 18 states already passing <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/06/27/supreme-court-decision-porn-website-age-verification-texas/84379183007/">similar legislation</a>.</p>

Supreme Court Upholds Texas Law Requiring Age Verification To Shield Kids From Pornography

<p>Federal prosecutors say that the government will deport illegal alien and suspected MS-13 human trafficker Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a so-called “third country” after he is released from a Tennessee jail.</p>
<p>The illegal alien is now expected to be sent to a willing foreign nation other than El Salvador, his country of origin, due to a <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/man-was-sent-el-salvador-due-administrative-error-protected-legal-stat-rcna199010">2019 court order</a> preventing him from being sent back to his home nation.</p>
<p>Abrego Garcia, infamously referred to as a “Maryland man” by Democrat politicians despite being an illegal alien, was deported to El Salvador before being brought back to the United States to stand trial for federal human trafficking charges, with prosecutors alleging that he trafficked minors and MS-13 members across the United States.</p>
<p>A judge presiding over the case ruled that Abrego Garcia must be released while he awaits trial despite <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-orders-release-of-maryland-man-but-the-illegal-alien-could-be-deported-again?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=4&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Judge+Orders+Release+Of+%E2%80%98Maryland+Man%2C%E2%80%99+But+The+Illegal+Alien+Could+Be+Deported+Again">acknowledging</a> that the man would likely be arrested by ICE. It was further confirmed on Thursday that the illegal alien would be taken back into custody upon his release.</p>
<p>“Our plan is that he will be taken into ICE custody and removal proceedings will be initiated,” <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/06/26/trump-deport-abrego-garcia-third-country">said</a> Jonathan Guynn, the deputy assistant attorney general at the Department of Justice’s civil division. Guynn confirmed that Abrego Garcia is expected to be sent to a third country rather than back to El Salvador.</p>
<p>The Trump administration won a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-secures-victory-in-scotus-ruling-enabling-more-deportations?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=4&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Admin+Secures+Victory+In+SCOTUS+Ruling+Enabling+More+Deportations">key victory</a> in the Supreme Court just this week that paves the way for Abrego Garcia’s impending deportation from the United States. The ruling affirmed the administration’s legal right to send illegal aliens to willing “third countries,” allowing the Executive branch to deport people to nations other than their nation of origin.</p>
<p>That decision is expected to enable thousands of deportations, including the second deportation of Abrego Garcia.</p>
<p>While it isn’t immediately apparent which country the Salvadoran national will be sent to, the Trump administration previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-deports-murderers-and-rapists-to-south-sudan-but-judge-might-order-their-return-to-u-s">deported</a> several criminal illegal aliens, including Vietnamese and Cuban nationals, to South Sudan.</p>
<p>The Department of Homeland Security has remained firm in its position that Abrego Garcia will not go free, issuing a swift response to the judge who ordered his release. Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin asserted that “Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a dangerous criminal illegal alien,” who “will never go free on American soil.”</p>
<p>DHS has not, however, provided details on Abrego Garcia’s impending deportation. “Due to operational security, ICE does not confirm future removal operations until they have landed in respective countries,” a DHS spokesman <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/06/26/trump-deport-abrego-garcia-third-country">stated</a>.</p>
