Peter Dinklage proves that being a dwarf with a British accent doesn’t make one a talented poet. Or even one who knows how to pick subjects for his poetry.
The identities of the Border Patrol agents who shot Alex Pretti have been released. This is quite embarrassing for the media.
And Democrats really are picking the wrong sides in the ICE debate.
Some Quick News
Here is some news:
- The two Border Patrol agents involved in the Alex Pretti shooting had their identities released this weekend. Both men were Hispanic. So much for white supremacy.
- Don Lemon was arrested on Friday for violating the FACE act. He was indicted by a Supreme Court.
- The Kennedy Trump Performing Arts Center will be closed for about three years for construction.
Good God!
This Is Who You’re Siding With?
According to the Post Millennial:
Long Beach mayoral candidate Rogelio Martinez drew backlash after calling on local gangs to unite in opposition to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the city.
In a video posted on social media, Martinez stood outside Long Beach City Hall and appealed directly to gang leaders across the city, claiming there are 55 gangs operating locally. He called on them to meet him at City Hall on Monday.
Just Incredible
According to the New York Post:
A 5-year-old boy and his father who were taken into custody by ICE during the agency’s illegal immigration crackdown in Minneapolis were freed over the weekend after a federal judge ordered their release.
Liam Conejo Ramos, 5, and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, were released from a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Texas on Saturday and returned to Minnesota on Sunday, according to Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro.
Arias, originally from Ecuador, and his young son were detained by ICE at their family home in a Minneapolis suburb on Jan. 20.
A picture of Liam wearing a blue bunny hat and a Spider-Man backpack while he was being taken by federal immigration agents sparked a firestorm of backlash over the Trump administration’s crackdown and immediate calls for his release.
Neighbors and school officials accused the feds of using the preschooler as “bait” by getting him to knock on the family’s door to lure his mother out of their home after Arias tried to flee.
The US Department of Homeland Security repeatedly refuted the claim. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said ICE didn’t target the boy, claiming his mother refused to take him after his father was apprehended, leaving him in the care of the agents.
Later in the article:
US District Judge Fred Biery demanded the pair’s release in a scathing letter on Saturday.
“The case has its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children,” Biery wrote in his ruling.
Biery previously ruled that Liam and his dad could not be removed from the US.
Are You Surprised?
According to the New York Post:
“Will & Grace” actress Debra Messing blasted the horrific gridlock outside a hospital in New York City as snow remains piled up on the streets a full week after Winter Storm Fern passed — and said that Mayor Zohran Mamdani is to blame.
Messing, 57, bemoaned a trip to an appointment that dragged on for more than an hour early Saturday after her taxi encountered bumper-to-bumper traffic while an ambulance tried to squeeze through.
“The streets are a disaster. It hasn’t snowed in 5 days and the streets still haven’t been cleared. Poor ambulance sitting in [essentially] a parking lot with sirens going. I’m praying for the person needing emergency care,” she wrote in a post on X.
“I’ve lived here for 15 years (this go around) and this has never happened. The plows have always worked around the clock to get the city back to working. I wonder what happened? Hang in there New Yorkers,” the Brooklyn-born, NYU-educated star wrote.
Though Messing didn’t call out Mamdani by name, many linked her sarcastic sign-off to her past critiques of the self-declared socialist.
Messing, who voted for Andrew Cuomo in the mayoral election, crashed out on social media in November and posted a series of memes labeling Mamdani an “American-hating jihadist” and crudely nicknaming him “Osama bin Mamdani.”
Since then, she’s largely avoided mentioning Mamdani online. But the snowstorm tested her resolve — and many agreed with her sly jab at Hizzoner over the state of the streets.
Other Problems:
- Snow is not being plowed, jamming up the streets.
- Trash is piling up since trash trucks cannot get to it.
- The transit system is shutdown still.
- Students were required to access schooling online, but no one could connect to the system.
- 14 people have died during the storm.
- Mamdani has had none of these problems around the mayor’s mansion.
