Meta Facebook on computer screen (American Faith Media)
Meta has suspended a large Facebook group accused of doxxing and targeting ICE agents after the Department of Justice intervened. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the removal followed outreach by the DOJ, calling out the online campaign as a “wave of violence” being orchestrated through social media to endanger federal officers.
Meta confirmed the move, citing violations of its “Coordinating Harm” policies, which ban content that reveals “the undercover status of law enforcement, military, or security personnel” and “if the content contains the agent’s name, their face or badge.”
The company specifies that exposing undercover status, agency affiliation, or operations is grounds for removal.
Bondi emphasized that tech platforms must not be allowed to serve as staging grounds for radicals bent on targeting law enforcement. She asserted, “The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.”
Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk…
This action follows a broader crackdown: earlier this month, Apple removed apps from its App Store that tracked ICE agents’ locations, and Google reportedly followed suit.
The Trump administration has publicly confirmed that 49 illegal immigrants, many with serious criminal records, received Medicaid benefits in direct violation of federal law.
The revelation arrives amid a tense political standoff in Washington as Democrats continue pushing to reinstate expanded healthcare access for undocumented migrants, one of the key sticking points prolonging the government shutdown.
According to the White House, each of the 49 individuals has since been deported. The group includes individuals arrested and charged with violent crimes, such as murder, rape, sexual abuse of a minor, and armed robbery. While federal law prohibits illegal immigrants from receiving Medicaid, the administration revealed that some states have found ways to use federal dollars to extend Medicaid-like services to noncitizens through state programs.
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson shared in a statement to Fox News, “Democrats shut down the government and are inflicting pain on hardworking Americans because they want to provide free healthcare to illegal aliens… Due to previously lax federal controls and Democrat state policies, criminal illegal murderers and rapists received Medicaid at the American taxpayers’ expense.”
White House officials emphasized that the deported individuals were not just present in the country illegally but posed a direct threat to public safety. Jackson went on to add: “President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cut Act is ensuring taxpayer dollars are focused on American citizens and do not subsidize healthcare for illegal aliens, but Democrats are desperate to undo these important reforms, and they’re willing to make the American people suffer for it.”
The release of this information appears aimed at pressuring Senate Democrats, who are currently attempting to include provisions in a government funding bill that would roll back restrictions on undocumented immigrants’ access to healthcare. That bill, if passed, would fund the government through November 21 and potentially expand eligibility for noncitizens to access taxpayer-funded health services.
Democrats defending the policy shift claim it reflects a humane approach to healthcare access, especially in emergency cases. However, the growing backlash highlights a fundamental divide: whether the U.S. should prioritize citizens in the allocation of federal benefits or expand the safety net regardless of legal status.
Democratic lawmakers are losing ground as the White House proves their mixed allegiance to prioritizing funding for illegal migrant healthcare over reopening the federal government.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that entities connected to the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) project violated federal and state securities laws and regulations.
Those who coordinated with the development have been found to have violated state and federal securities law.
“After a thorough investigation, it has become clear that the developers behind EPIC City flagrantly and undeniably violated the law,” said Paxton. “The bad actors behind this illegal scheme must be held accountable for ignoring state and federal regulations. In accordance with state law, the [Texas State Securities Board] should review our findings and refer this matter to me for further legal action.”
“I write today to invite you and your team to a meeting with [Office of the Attorney General] investigative staff to discuss the initial findings, review the corresponding evidence, and if you agree with my office’s findings, that you take the appropriate actions you are authorized to take and refer back to my office the actions the Attorney General may take,” Paxton wrote in a letter to Texas State Securities Board Chairman E. Wally Kinney and Securities Commissioner Travis Iles.
Earlier this year, Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered a halt to the construction of EPIC City due to investigations into the project.
The Department of Justice has also opened an investigation into EPIC City following Sen. John Cornyn (R) calling for an investigation into the planned city. Writing to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon, the senator said, “A master-planned ‘community of thousands of Muslims’ could violate the constitutional rights of Jewish and Christian Texans, by preventing them from living in this new community and discriminating against them within the community.”
The State Department announced that it has revoked the visas of several foreign nationals who celebrated the death of Charlie Kirk.
In a statement on X, the Department said, “The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans.”
“The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk,” it wrote. “Here are just a few examples of aliens who are no longer welcome in the U.S.”
One individual with a now-revoked visa is described as an Argentine national who said Kirk “devoted his entire life spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynistic rhetoric” and suggested he “deserved” eternal punishment.
A second individual is described as a South African national who “mocked Americans grieving the loss of Kirk” and said, “They’re hurt that the racist rally ended in attempted martyrdom.”
Another foreign national, a Mexican individual, said Kirk “died being a racist, he died being a misogynist” and declared that “there are people who deserve to die. There are people who would make the world better off dead.” Furthermore, a Brazilian national said Kirk “died too late” while a German national wrote, “When fascists die, democrats don’t complain.”
A Paraguayan national also stated that Kirk “died by his own rules.”
After listing the actions of the foreign nationals, the State Department said the Trump administration will “defend our borders, our culture, and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws. Aliens who take advantage of America’s hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed.”
The visa revocations come as Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau urged people in September to report foreign visa applicants if they were known to have made comments supporting or making light of the death of Charlie Kirk.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) announced that she would be receiving files on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy from Russia.
“My office just received word from the [Russian Embassy] that the ambassador from Russia to the United States will be hand delivering the [Russian Government’s] findings on who assassinated JFK to my office,” she wrote on X. “This is a 350 page document. We will be uploading these documents as soon as we receive them working with [Jefferson Morley] to ensure that the American people have direct access to them immediately.”
“It is important to note that Congress attempted to obtain these files in the 90’s and was denied,” she said. “We have been given access to them now for the first time in history.”
The Russian Embassy in the United States confirmed the file delivery.
“A pre-copy of a collection of archive documents related to President John F. Kennedy’s assassination to be officially published in Russia in November (many of them had been presented by the #Soviet representative at #JFK’s funeral, Anastas Mikoyan) was handed over to Representative Anna Paulina Luna upon her request and the consent of copyholders by the Russian Ambassador. This will provide additional public access to the tragedy circumstances,” the embassy explained.
“While meeting Rep. Luna at his Residence, Ambassador Darchiev also expressed condolences with brutal killing of her close friend and comrade-in-arms Charlie Kirk whose birthday and decoration with the Medal of Freedom are marked today.”
Luna is the chairwoman of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets.

Actress Cheryl Hines squared off with the co‑hosts ofThe View while defending her husband, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., over criticism of his qualifications and public health stances. The debate turned heated as co‑hosts pushed her on claims of misinformation and asked whether her husband is “the least qualified” to hold his post.
During the segment, co‑host Sunny Hostin repeatedly challenged Kennedy’s authority to lead HHS, citing his lack of medical credentials and alleging that he’s spread confusion on critical health topics. She argued, “He has also spread a lot of misinformation … a lot of confusion … that’s dangerous,” while labeling him “the least qualified” in HHS history.
Hines pushed back, noting that many past HHS secretaries lacked medical degrees, and she spotlighted her husband’s long career in environmental law and litigating against corporations over toxins. She also attempted to shift the focus to broader concerns about institutional messaging during COVID and other public health controversies.
One sharp exchange centered on Kennedy’s past claims connecting circumcision to autism. Hostin accused him directly: “He’s connecting circumcisions to autism!” Hines interrupted: “May I finish?” Later, when co‑hosts pressed on vaccine skepticism, Hines affirmed she supports vaccination but contended that questions of safety and transparency deserve public discussion.
While the discussion remained tense, Hines emphasized she isn’t a political operative and that her engagement in public discourse is often reactive to attacks on her husband. She called on fair debate and pointed to her husband’s MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) initiative—especially reforms in food safety and chemical exposure—as a less contested area of agreement.
Army Secretary Dan Driscoll said the U.S. Army is actively developing small first‑person view (FPV) drones inspired by lessons from the Ukraine war, with a vision that “every infantryman will have a drone with them.”
Driscoll argued that Ukraine’s use of drones to disable billions of dollars in Russian equipment demonstrates how relatively low-cost unmanned systems can shift the battlefield calculus. He reported that elite U.S. Army units—such as Rangers and Delta Force—are already structuring operations around drone integration.
He also emphasized the need for a dual capability: soldiers must be able to both deploy drones and defend against enemy unmanned systems. “You can’t really defend against one without being an expert in the other,” he said. The Army plans to pair these systems with layered sensor networks and interceptors, creating protected zones akin to “mini ‘Iron Domes’” over critical assets.
This drone‑centric vision is part of a sweeping modernization effort. Driscoll is also pushing AI, energy resilience, and industrial reforms to prepare the force for operations in contested theaters.
Former Minnesota Vikings team captain Jack Brewer is publicly condemning state officials for failing to meet a Trump administration deadline requiring protections for girls’ sports. Brewer, a vocal Christian conservative, criticized the decision as morally bankrupt and accused Minnesota leadership of promoting anti-biblical values at the expense of female athletes.
The deadline, issued in September by the Department of Education under President Trump’s direction, demanded that states restrict biological males from competing in girls’ and women’s sports, aligning with Title IX protections. Minnesota failed to comply, prompting Brewer to speak out against the refusal by Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison to respond substantively.
Brewer said the state’s policies are placing young girls—many of whom are his own relatives—at a competitive and physical disadvantage. He warned that families across the state are being “held hostage by demonic and dark laws” that erode fairness and safety in youth athletics. He further criticized Ellison’s claim that the federal government shutdown prevented an adequate response, calling it a convenient political excuse.
In a strongly worded statement, Brewer described Minnesota’s leaders as agents of a “satanic” ideology that is “destroying the minds of our kids.” He urged Congress and the Trump administration to act swiftly, including cutting federal funding to states that refuse to uphold biological definitions of sex in sports.
The Trump administration’s move to enforce Title IX against states like Minnesota has reignited a growing national debate over transgender participation in women’s sports.
President Trump is slamming Senate Democrats after they blocked yet another Republican proposal to reopen the federal government. As the shutdown stretches into a second week, Trump accused Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of playing politics at the expense of American workers, military families, and national security.
The Senate failed to advance a GOP-led measure to fund the government, with Democrats demanding that any agreement include an extension of Obamacare-related subsidies. The impasse has stalled efforts to restore federal services, including military pay, while Democrats insist that policy concessions must come first.
In a statement, Trump blasted Schumer as “weakened” and “ineffective,” accusing him of leading his caucus into a shutdown trap driven by special interests. He also warned that Democratic obstruction could cost the party politically, citing public frustration with Washington gridlock.
The Republican proposal included stopgap funding to keep the government open and ensure continued military operations. Despite bipartisan support for the measure among moderate lawmakers, Senate Democrats unified to block the bill, claiming it failed to meet their healthcare demands.
Trump has repeatedly called for an immediate vote to reopen the government without policy strings attached. So far, Senate Democrats have refused, blocking multiple procedural efforts to advance a clean funding bill. The longer the impasse continues, the more pressure builds on both parties to break the deadlock—but the president is making clear where he places the blame.
Yosemite National Park has descended into chaos as squatters, illegal climbers, and BASE jumpers exploit a lack of enforcement caused by the ongoing federal government shutdown. With only a skeleton crew of rangers available, rule-breaking has surged, creating serious risks to public safety and environmental integrity.
The National Park Service has been forced to furlough most of its staff due to the shutdown that began October 1. According to reports, only one volunteer ranger has been monitoring Yosemite’s 1,169 square miles. This drastic cut in enforcement has led to a wave of unlawful activity across the park.
Squatters have taken over reserved campsites, claiming them under a “first come, first served” excuse and disregarding the reservation system. Meanwhile, climbers are reportedly ascending Half Dome without permits, bypassing safety procedures. Perhaps most dangerously, BASE jumpers have resumed illegal jumps off El Capitan, violating a long-standing federal ban.
A spokesperson for the Department of the Interior confirmed they are aware of the situation and are investigating. Park insiders warn that the current conditions mirror those during the 2018–2019 government shutdown, which led to widespread vandalism and environmental damage.
The situation poses serious threats not only to park resources but also to human life. Unpermitted climbing and BASE jumping increase the likelihood of injuries or fatalities, which, under current staffing levels, would severely burden emergency response capabilities. Additionally, increased foot traffic, off-trail exploration, and unlawful camping are likely to damage sensitive wildlife habitats and protected land.
Conservation leaders and park officials have urged the federal government to close high-traffic national parks like Yosemite entirely during shutdowns if proper law enforcement cannot be maintained. Their warnings highlight growing frustration over federal mismanagement and the consequences of political gridlock on public lands.
