The Hill: DHS explains to Massachusetts governor it ‘never intended to apprehend’ high schooler

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Monday explained in a reply to a post by Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) that it “never intended to apprehend” a high schooler.

In a statement posted to the social platform X on Sunday, Healey said she was “disturbed and outraged by reports that a Milford High School student was arrested by ICE on his way to volleyball practice yesterday.”

F*ck*ng liar!

You’ve publicly admitted that you are pursuing “collateral” arrests. That kid was a target whether you admit or not.

All you care about is numbers. The more misery you can create for people who aren’t lily white, the better, at least in your deranged minds.

Style on Main: Target And Walmart Sound Alarm Over Retail ‘Collapse’ As Shelves Go Empty

For years, “retail apocalypse” headlines have cried wolf. Many blamed Amazon, others warned of overbuilt malls, but most claims fizzled. What’s happening now is different. Target just slashed its 2025 outlook after a brutal quarter, projecting a “low-single digit decline” in annual sales. Walmart’s CEO Doug McMillon has gone straight to President Trump with warnings that store shelves may soon run dry. 

These aren’t fringe forecasts, they’re direct signals from America’s largest retailers. For the first time, retail’s titans are sounding the same alarm. The collapse isn’t theoretical anymore. Behind the aisles, a perfect storm of tariffs, supply chain chaos, and consumer panic is brewing.

Newsweek: ICE director responds to agents being labeled “terrorists”

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) acting chief has denied heavy-handedness on the part of his agents, who he says have been forced to wear masks after being “doxed” and branded “terrorists.”

Doxing is an online attack that involves publishing someone’s personal information and details online, often with the intent to intimidate or frighten the victim.

If you can’t handle the heat, get out of the fire, fool.

Real cops don’t wear masks. They are identifiable by badge numbers or blazers with agency names & unique identifying numbers.

Only wannabe Gestapo thugs wear masks!

Associated Press: Judge blocks administration from revoking protected status for small subset of Venezuelans

An estimated 5,000 Venezuelans granted temporary protected status can continue to work and live in the U.S. despite a Supreme Court ruling revoking protections while their lawsuit against the Trump administration is pending.

U.S. District Judge Edward Chen in San Francisco ruled Friday that Venezuelans whose Temporary Protected Status was extended to October 2026 are not affected by the Supreme Court’s order and are not eligible for deportation.

Mediaite: Trump Threatens to Slap Gavin Newsom With Fines, Touts Tariffs in Late-Night Truth Social Storm

President Donald Trump was up late and throwing jabs Monday night into Tuesday morning, threatening to slap California Gov. Gavin Newsom with “large scale fines” over transgender athletes.

Posting to his Truth Social account around 1 a.m. ET, Trump attacked the governor with the moniker “Newscum” as he ranted about a “Biological Male” competing in the California state finals track meet over the weekend.

What a sad, pathetic way for our so-called “President” to act. For our President to mock one of our governors in that manner is inexcusable.

El País: The head of ICE defends his agents’ heavy-handed approach during raids: ‘They and their families have received death threats on social media’

Lyons has advocated for the agents, who operate in plain clothes with their faces covered and, often, in unmarked cars. “I’m sorry if people are offended by them wearing masks, but I’m not going to let my officers and agents go out there and put their lives on the line, their family on the line because people don’t like what immigration enforcement is,” the official stated at a news conference in Boston, Massachusetts.

F*ck*ng liar! It has nothing to do with safety, everything to do with fear and intimidation. These Gestapo tactics must end! At the very least, any legitimate police officer should be identified by a badge or blazer with their agency name and a unique identifying number.

Daily Beast: Conservative Torches ICE Chief’s ‘Pathetic’ Excuse for Agents Wearing Masks

Conservative commentator and longtime political strategist Bill Kristol blasted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents for wearing masks during recent operations, calling the practice a tool of fear—not protection.

Appearing on CNN’s NewsNight on Monday, Kristol—best known for serving as chief of staff to Vice President Dan Quayle under President George H. W. Bush—dismissed ICE’s justification for the coverings, dismissing the practice as “ridiculous” and “pathetic.”

Daily Beast: Trump Rages at Claim War on Harvard Is Revenge for Rejection

Donald Trump blew up on Truth Social over a claim from author Michael Wolff that his crusade against Harvard is personal.

Wolff, author of several books about the president, claimed on The Daily Beast Podcast last week that Trump “didn’t get into Harvard” and is now targeting the university out of revenge.That is The Most Realistic PC Game of 2025

Trump has gone after the university with gusto, freezing its federal funding, threatening its tax-exempt status and moving to block it from enrolling international students.

The president claimed Wolff’s story is “totally FALSE” and insisted he never applied to the Ivy League school.

Or maybe it was Barron:

According to Wolff, a running joke in White House circles held that Trump’s war on the prestigious school stemmed from the rejection of another Trump: his youngest son, Barron.

Or perhaps just a figment of Michael Wolff’s imagination?

El Paso Matters: Migrants arrested outside El Paso federal building after immigration hearings under new Trump expedited deportation strategy

Two young men emerged from the Richard C. White Federal Building in Downtown El Paso on Thursday, laughing together as they turned left onto San Antonio Avenue. It was 1:50 p.m. and 99 degrees.

As they reached the corner of South Florence Street just a few steps away, a group of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents converged on them and grabbed Yasmir Marquez by the elbow. The two men were quickly surrounded by more federal law enforcement agents, one of whom showed Marquez a document. He turned to give his friend a hug before he was hustled into a waiting white van. Once inside, he was handcuffed.

Within three minutes, the other man stood alone on the sidewalk under the blazing sun watching in disbelief as the van drove away with his friend inside. “What the f— just happened?” asked the man, who was not arrested.

The courthouse arrests are a new tactic under the Trump administration’s efforts to scale up deportations, targeting migrants at immigration courts immediately after their court-ordered hearings. The migrants are ordered deported or have their cases dismissed and are then arrested by immigration agents as they leave the courtroom or the buildings, which allows for swift removal, the New York Times reported last week. 

The Times obtained an internal ICE memo circulated on May 20 that the news organization reported instructed government prosecutors to help deportation officers with the operation to identify people whose pending immigration court case could be dismissed. Without their case pending in court, the migrants could be subject to expedited removal that doesn’t require a hearing before a judge.
