BREAKING: Disabled man dies after ICE kidnaps his father, who took care of him as he suffered from a chronic illness. He never got to say goodbye!

Maher Tarabishi was snatched up by the goon squad as he left his immigration check-in appointment in Texas. He’s been living in the US since 1994, paying taxes, raising a family, no criminal record, and they threw him in the gulag anyway, leaving nobody to care for his son.

Wael Tarabishi suffers from a chronic muscular condition called Pompe disease, and his father took care of him 24/7 for years on end.

Without his father’s care, Wael’s health declined rapidly and now he’s dead. He never got to say goodbye to his father.

Just another victim of Trump’s heartless, family-destroying mass deportation regime that goes out of its way to target innocent people who have done everything right while letting real criminals walk free by the dozens.

What's going on in America?

The depravity of Trump’s followers and disregard for human life is depressing.

The video was shared by a son of the deceased veteran—

"RIP Alex Pretti, he was my Dads ICU nurse, he read my dad’s final salute at the VA after he passed away," the individual wrote. "Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point. Also my Fathers final words to me was continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex’ sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my Dads words I encourage you all to continue to ‘fight the good fight’”

In the video, Pretti leads a group of hospital staff in honoring the veteran, who is covered with a shroud emblazoned with the American flag and a bald eagle.

"Today we remember that freedom is not free, we have to work at it, nurture it, protect it, and even sacrifice for it," Pretti said. "May we never forget and always remember our brothers and sisters who have served so that we may enjoy the gift of freedom.

"So in this moment, we remember and give thanks for their dedication and selfless service to our nation in the cause of our freedom. In this solemn hour, we render them our honor and our gratitude," he said.

Tragically, Pretti's powerful words now reflect on his own death. He sacrificed himself fighting for our freedom.

Freedom from masked fascists harassing, beating, and killing upstanding Americans in our streets.

Freedom from a government that lies through its teeth and smears innocent victims before their bodies are even in the ground.

Freedom from a tyrannical government that would rather divide us and keep us in fear than build towards a brighter future.

Freedom from MAGA.

Alex Pretti was the best that this country has to offer and he was cut down by the absolute dregs of our society. These federal agents are undertrained, out of shape, low IQ thugs who couldn't find jobs in the real world so they signed up for a badge, gun, and paycheck to terrorize their neighbors. These are cruel, violent people who stand in opposition to everything that Pretti dedicated his life to.

BREAKING: ICE Officer admits to raping woman in custody for months in exchange for seeing her daughter

Prosecutors say he would bring the victim letters and pictures of her daughter, along with food and other gifts, which is against ICE rules.

David is said to have hired lookouts while he raped the woman in a janitorial closet. Initially, David denied the accusations before confessing during an interview in September.

He was released on a $10,000 bond and will be sentenced on April 10* where his charge carries a maximum of 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

David Courvelle, 56, pled guilty to sexually assaulting a Nicaraguan woman over the course of several months at a Louisiana ICE detention facility.

This isn't an isolated case. It's just the only one caught so far.

GloriousGbola:
make it make sense please

A nigerian living abroad is calling other nigerian immigrants thieves and despoilers

One man shoved a woman to the ground. Another man stepped in to protect the woman. The man who shoved the woman then pepper sprayed the man trying to protect her. The guy who shoved the woman continued to pepper spray them both and the man who stepped in tried to use his body as a shield to protect the woman. The guy who shoved the woman then started trying to drag the man shielding the woman away. The woman shoving man failed to drag the man shielding the woman so several more men jumped in to stop the man from shielding the woman. The woman shover and his friends then stomped, punched, and kicked the man who had been trying to shield the woman. As they assaulted him they realized the shielding man had a holstered gun. The shielding man fought to get free to protect the woman, but never reached for his gun. One of the stomping men grabbed the shielding man’s gun and cleared himself before a single shot was fired. The other men then, after he had been disarmed, shot the shielding man ten or more times despite never having reached for his gun and after he’d already been disarmed.

That is exactly what happened. A man was murdered for trying to protect a woman who’d been assaulted.

He wasn’t a terrorist, he was a hero. He was the one protecting someone and he was gunned down for doing what any decent man should do when he sees a woman being assaulted. Alex Pretti died a hero. Alex Pretti exemplified the best of America and was murdered for it.

If you have any honor, any love for your country, and basic human decency, you will applaud the Alex Pretti and condemn the men who murdered him.

They are deathcultists, as is the political project they support.
They do not believe in anything, beyond the end goal of suffering and destruction.
They do not believe in truth or reality, they use words not to communicate, but to deceive their victims.
They are not people conducive to a functioning or trusting society.

I hope the things they support and defend devours them first.

GloriousGbola:
you can laugh and cheer all you want. you are a black man. if we had predicted this last year that federal agents will be executing civilians at gun point in public you would have said impossible

to them, you are also an illegal, a fraudster from a country that has institutionalized internet fraud.

keep cheering as civil rights are being eroded because you are in the illusion that it is not your portion

this is what MAGA wants. an america in which people know their place. your hero has said the civil rights were bad for white people.


nothing we have not seen before

good luck to americans

those who are not in the us can continue to lie. for those in the US supporting this - do not think if this is not stopped, they will not come for you.

Republicans don't really believe in the rights of Freedom of Speech or Gun ownership, they believe its their right to decide who gets to do those things.
That's why Noem can say that a guy who has a legal concealed weapon is dangerous and should be shot while they simultaneously go around the country cheering unabated concealed and open weapon carry.

The Oregon Nurses Association is outraged, heartbroken, and profoundly disturbed by the fatal shooting of 37-year-old registered nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis on January 24, 2026. Alex was an intensive care unit nurse and union member at the VA hospital who dedicated his life to caring for military veterans and their families. A life devoted to healing was cut short — gunned down in the streets by federal agents while speaking out.

Our deepest condolences go out to Alex’s family, his patients, his colleagues, and the people of Minneapolis as they grieve this senseless and devastating loss.

A nurse's job is to care for their patients — but they are also ethically bound to speak out in the face of injustice and human rights violations. Provision 8.2 of the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics for Nurses is clear: “Where there are human rights violations, nurses ought to and must stand up for those rights and demand accountability.” That is exactly what Alex was doing.

Read our full statement: https://www.oregonrn.org/page/MN_Nurse_Shot_by_ICE

This morning, Alex Pretti was shot and killed in Minneapolis by a group of Border Patrol agents after filming them. Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse at the VA who helped critically ill veterans. Alex's colleagues say he was a wonderful man who loved his patients and enjoyed mountain biking. He will be greatly missed.

He wasn’t threatening or brandishing a weapon. Armed, legally and holstered. Threatening, no. Recording with a phone. Yes. Didn’t deserve to be shot 10x!

Good. Lets also investigate a politician who's wealth has increased many times Ilhan's has since he assumed office.

Trump demands probe into Rep. Ilhan Omar’s "$30 Million" fortune

President Trump has officially called for an immediate investigation into Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, questioning how her net worth allegedly skyrocketed to over $30 million while serving in public office.

The $30 Million Question:
• The Truth Social Post: Trump didn't mince words on Thursday: “There is no way such wealth could have been accumulated, legally, while being paid the salary of a politician.”

A medical examiner in Texas has determined that a Cuban immigrant who died in ICE detention in El Paso died as a result of a homicide.

An autopsy found that Geraldo Lunas Campos died from “asphyxia due to neck and torso compression.” ICE has claimed the 55-year-old father of four died while staff were attempting to save him after he tried to commit suicide. But a witness told the Associated Press that Lunas Campos died after he was handcuffed, tackled by guards and placed in a chokehold until he lost consciousness.

The Washington Post has revealed the Department of Homeland Security is now attempting to deport two men who witnessed Lunas Campos’s death.

"This looks a lot like a cover-up. We need an independent investigation NOW." Democratic Congressmember Pramila Jayapal said in a statement.

Lunas Campos is one of three immigrants to die over the past two months at Camp East Montana, a sprawling ICE detention tent camp located at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas.

But most of his followers won't know as they are poorly educated.
The effects of Trump are just starting to be felt. But the real effects will be felt years from now as Europe and the rest of the World start moving away from American leadership. And Republicans will just blame Dems at that point.

Republican leaders are so short-sighted and they can be because the majority of Republicans are poorly educated.

I WATCHED TRUMP'S ENTIRE PRESS BRIEFING TODAY SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO

I know it's popular around here to hyperbolically remark that every new Trump speech is the "most deranged speech you've ever heard," but a select few of them actually fit the bill, no hyperbole.

That Christmas Eve White House address where he forgot to mention Christmas and spent the whole time talking about deadly South American snakes is a solid Top 3 Contender.

So was today's White House presser celebrating his One Year Anniversary in office.

For starters, Agent Orange showed up a half-hour late, wielding a phone-book-sized stack of papers clipped together that just said "ACCOMPLISHMENTS," which Trump held up and said, "We have a book that I'm not going to read to you– these are the accomplishments of what we've produced."

And then having told the press room he's not gonna read them anything in the "book" he’s waving at them, Trump launched into a rambling 1-hour 45-min incoherent mess that made a strong case for giving the man another one of those "preventative MRIs."

Here's some of the things 47 thought we would be proud of him for "accomplishing" this year:

• He held up several mugshots of Minnesota's "WORST OF WORST" criminals, explaining that ICE had just rounded them up last week even though the mugshots we could all read said they'd been convicted last summer. One mugshot said the man was guilty of "Intentional Homicide," which Trump read as "International Homicide."

• Somalians stole $19 billion dollars. They're very low-IQ people, but somehow they figured out how to steal $19 billion and spent it all on Mercedes Benzes. And Somalia isn't even a real country. (Not sure how this is an "accomplishment," just go with it. As we'll see, Trump doesn't appear to have any idea how this exercise is supposed to work.)

• Rep Ilhan Omar made $30 million without ever having a job. (she's been a teacher, campaign manager, non-profit executive, Dept of Education staff, and City Council member. Most of "her" net worth is actually her husband's.)

• Men in women's sports is dumb, but not as dumb as Biden's open border policies.

• All the oil companies are getting ready to "massively invest in Venezuela" (despite telling Trump last week that Venezuela was "univestable."

• Joe Biden is sleepy. And crooked. And the worst president we've ever had.

• Minnesota is full of the "toughest people around," and all ICE wants to do is round them up and send them back to the mental institutions they came from, but they're being abused by Don Lemon who's a "loser and lightweight."

• He really felt bad when "that woman" was shot, but some other lady was yelling "Shame! Shame!" like a professional opera singer, so that's how he knows she was a professional agitator.

• ICE arrested "10,000 criminals in Minnesota." (ICE has arrested around 3,000 people TOTAL in MN, 212 of which had severe criminal records.)

• He loves "Hispanic." He did great– he did the highest. Nobody ever got numbers like he got, "from the standpoint of being a Republican."

• He "won the entire border along Texas between Texas and Mexico," which nobody's ever done before.

• Joe Biden didn't win the election—it was rigged—and "everybody knows that now." Numbers are "coming out now that show it even more plainly—we caught him."

• He's very glad his fingers didn't get stuck in that big clip holding all the papers together. It could've done a lot of damage, but he wouldn't have showed any pain at all...even if his fingers fell off.

• He solved Biden's "stagflation," which was "the highest inflation in the history of our country." (It wasn't even in the Top 10, and Biden solved it before Trump took office.)

• Many of the biggest factories in the world are now being built in America. (Don't ask how they're both "the biggest" and also "under construction."

• The Democrats shut down the government but the U.S. still had 5% GDP growth. And nobody present has "ever heard of 5%." Under Biden, inflation was so high that "nobody could calculate it."

• SNAP was at $7 billion, but then it came out to over $51 billion because the previous administration didn't have a clue—all they wanted was for men to play women's sports—so they went to the Supreme Court, but everyone saw in the Supreme Court that men playing women's sports doesn't work, so he got $18 trillion in commitments for new investments.

• Drug prices in America were so high that we were basically "subsidizing the whole world," but now we have Most Favored Nation Status, which reduces drug prices 300, 400, 500, even 600%.

• We had the best economy in history during his first term, but then Biden came in and ruined it all so now we have to build it all again.

• We slashed the federal budget deficit by 27% in one year (it was actually 2%), and that's with all the murderers in Minnesota they had to deal with.

• Biden let in millions of illegals and almost all of them are "mentally insane killers."

• California is a "disaster state" with a governor that is "doing a bad job." And if Newsom ever became president, he'd turn the U.S. into Venzuela. (CA has the largest economy in the US and the 4th-largest in the world.)

• Investment in American factories is up 41%, which is a record. Nobody goes 41% up. You go 2% up. 1% up, you go down by 3%. If Kamala got elected, the 41% up would be 41% down.

• He fired 270,000 people from their "government bureaucrat jobs," and all those people wanted to hate him, but then they all got jobs in factories making three times as much money and now they can all afford houses, so they love him for firing them.

• Nobody has come into the country illegally in 8 months. But before that, EVERYONE came in and they were so bad, they made our Hell's Angels look like "the sweetest people on earth." The Hell's Angels are now considered a "nice, high-quality person."

• That thing we did to the drug boats—we're starting to do that on land. Land is much easier than water. Actually, water is incredible. We did it on the water, so nobody's going into the boat business right now. Drugs coming in by water is down 97% now, which nobody has ever heard of before.

• ICE is going to "make mistakes" and "rough some people up" because the people they're going after are really rough. But that lady they shot in the face—Trump felt really bad about it. Because he heard her dad was a Trump supporter–a tremendous Trump fan. He was all for Trump. Loved Trump. And it's terrible— he was told that by a lot of people. They said, "Oh, he he loves you." He was a- Trump hopes he still feels that way because it's a hard hard situation. But her father was a tremendous– her parents were tremendous Trump fans. (Seriously. "I feel bad about my goons blasting her face off because her dad loved me."

• Ilhan Omar is from Somalia. They say it's the worst country in the world. If it's even a country, which he doesn't think it is. There's no organization. They don't have police. (they do) They don't have a military. (they do) It's "nothing but people running around killing each other and trying to pirate ships." Trump can't stand her.

• He was doing a great campaign against Biden. But then Biden pulled out and Kamala got in, which is just like if Dana White was doing a cage fight and in the middle of the fight, he replaced one fighter with a different fighter. But it didn't matter.

• He "very powerfully" designated English the official language of the U.S.

• We made the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America because we have "92% of the shoreline." Mexico "only has 8%." (The U.S. has about 42%, Mexico about 52%, Cuba 7%)

• He's trying to end birthright citizenship because it was originally intended for "the children of slaves."

• He hopes SCOTUS will declare fentanyl a "Weapon of Mass Destruction" because 300,000 died last year, which is like "filling up one of those big football stadium five times.)

• We had a "very good success rate" of blowing boats out of the water—nearly 100%—and then we blew up their docks where they "stored all their drugs" and now we have a great relationship with Venezuela. Which is way better than before when they were sending Tren de Aragua to take over Colorado and chopping off people's hands if they called the cops.

• You can now take your children, your loved ones, or even your lover to D.C. and walk down the streets and not be murdered any more. Because the military took all the fences down and got rid of the graffiti. And that's why every town looks better when the military's in it.

• Elections in Minnesota have always been corrupt. He "really feels" like he won it three times.

• Next month, he's getting rid of cashless bail. Which reminds him of growing up in Queens and seeing bars on windows. Which reminds him of playing baseball in the park. Which reminds him of his mom. Who told him he could've been a professional baseball player. But those bars on the windows were the Democrats' fault, so they took them down and now everybody lives on the streets.

• California "took down all their mental institutions" and that's why "everybody lives on the streets" there now.

• Taking out Iran's nukes was the "most successful anyone's ever seen," and CNN is fake news. He doesn't know where they are, but they're definitely fake. That's why we're respected on the world stage again.

• He ended 8 "unendedable wars" including India-Pakistan, which was "about to go nuclear" in his opinion. So he probably saved 10 million people.

• Ethiopia built the biggest dam in the world to steal all the water in "a little river called the Nile" from Egypt. And we financed it. Maybe it was a Republican president, but he doesn't think it was. He thinks it was a Democrat president. But Egypt needs a lot of water for things like entertainment and travel and tourism, so Trump got their Nile River water back for them.

• He KNOWS that Norway "calls all the shots" over the Nobel Peace Prize—even if they say "we have nothing to do with it," they're totally lying—but he doesn't care anything about the Peace Prize. Also that "Maria lady" is a very nice lady for giving him her Peace Prize.

• He just created the Board of Peace, which he "hopes will be amazing."

• Biden completely botched the Afghanistan withdrawal. Which never would've happened under Trump because he's "done more for NATO than maybe anyone."

• We're about to start building new battleships that are "100 times more powerful than those battleships in WW2." And he renamed the Department of Defense the Department of War, "which everybody loves, by the way."

• He withdrew us from the WHO because we pay way more than China, who has a lot more people. But we have a better military. And it's being rebuilt because it was "horrible" that Biden gave it all away to the Taliban.

• The Paris Climate Accord is fake.

• He ended "the woke lunacy and restored common sense."

• He ended the "Green New Scam" (his nickname for the Green New Deal, which isn't a thing that's ever existed).

• Tariffs are the greatest thing ever. And he had to invoke the CA emissions waiver to stop the San Francisco communists from regulating the auto industry and destroying automobiles and the entire country.

• Banned transgenders from the military, and gender ideology and Critical Race Theory from schools. But what Harvard's done is terrible—they're "very antisemitic."

• Linda McMahon is doing a fantastic job abolishing the Department of Education. He ended Joe Biden's Weaponization of Government and removed the "radical left Marxist" prosecutors like Jack Smith, who's a son of a bitch. And Alvin Bragg is sick. And so is Letitia James. And so is Fannie Willis, but she wants to be called "Fawnie" even though it's really "Fanny."

• People accuse Trump of "weaponizing everything," but he's never weaponized ANYTHING. They did it to him first. Nobody's ever gone through what he went through, and now he's in a beautiful building called "the White House."

• NPR and PBS were "very unfair" so he "closed them." Because they were terrible. Just so terrible. BUT he brought back Columbus Day, which made the Italian people very happy. And he also brought back Social Security.

• California is dumb because they didn't allow water in to put out the LA wildfires. They just dumped all their extra water into the Pacific Ocean.

• He issued new vaccine recommendations, and a new food pyramid, and provided $12 billion in aid for American farmers because they "got screwed by other nations" (aka "Trump's tariffs). But drug dealers are "way down."

ANNDDDDD......now I need to go poor bleach into my ears.
