The White House on Friday published an article naming more than two dozen prominent Democrat officials as political agitators, accusing them of fanning the flames of domestic violence through “Gestapo-style” rhetoric.

The Trump administration claims that the recent sniper attack on the Dallas ICE facility, in which a shooter dropped into a rooftop position, inscribed “ANTI-ICE” on ammunition, and opened fire at detainees and ICE personnel, is the horrific epilogue of years of left-wing incitement.

The administration’s statement links the Dallas shooting directly to a “1,000% surge” in assaults and attacks on federal agents, asserting that the rhetoric from top Democrat leaders has “provided moral cover” to radicals who see violence as the logical next step.

President Trump, in a post on Truth Social, placed blame squarely on Democrats, writing:

“I have been briefed on the deadly shooting at the ICE Field Office in Dallas, Texas. It has now been revealed the deranged shooter wrote “Anti-ICE” on his shell casings. This is despicable!

The Brave Men and Women of ICE are just trying to do their jobs, and remove the “WORST of the WORST” Criminals out of our Country, but they are facing an unprecedented increase in threats, violence, and attacks by Deranged Radical Leftists.

This violence is the result of the Radical Left Democrats constantly demonizing Law Enforcement, calling for ICE to be demolished, and comparing ICE Officers to “Nazis.”

The continuing violence from Radical Left Terrorists, in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, must be stopped. ICE Officers, and other Brave Members of Law Enforcement, are under grave threat.

We have already declared ANTIFA a Terrorist Organization, and I will be signing an Executive Order this week to dismantle these Domestic Terrorism Networks. I AM CALLING ON ALL DEMOCRATS TO STOP THIS RHETORIC AGAINST ICE AND AMERICA’S LAW ENFORCEMENT, RIGHT NOW!

The Trump Administration is fully committed to backing Law Enforcement, Strong Borders, securing our Homeland, deporting Violent Illegal Criminals, and fully rooting out the Left Wing Domestic Terrorism that is terrorizing our Country. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

According to the White House, the list includes governors, federal legislators, and local officials whose statements over recent years have, in the administration’s view, constructed a narrative of moral justification for attacking ICE and law enforcement.

Here’s the rogue’s gallery of Democrat leaders whose toxic rhetoric has blood on its hands:

• Gov. Tim Walz smeared ICE as the “modern-day Gestapo.”
• Gov. Gavin Newsom likened ICE to “secret police,” calling them “authoritarian” and proclaiming a “right to push back.”
• Gov. JB Pritzker claimed the country is becoming “Nazi Germany” because ICE is “grabbing people off the street… and disappearing them.”

• Rep. Jasmine Crockett compared ICE to “slave patrols.”
• Rep. Sylvia Garcia referred to ICE agents as “thugs.”
• Rep. Delia Ramirez attacked ICE as “a terror force.”
• Rep. Pramila Jayapal called ICE agents “deranged,” accused them of “kidnapping,” and said “resistance” to ICE is “inspiring.”
• Rep. Rashida Tlaib said ICE is “terrorizing our communities” and “turning our country into a fascist police state,” and called it a “rogue agency.”
• Rep. Ayanna Pressley said ICE is “terrorizing our communities.”

• Rep. John Larson said ICE is “the SS” and “the Gestapo.”
• Rep. LaMonica McIver incited people to “shut down the city” because “we are at war.”
• Rep. Stephen Lynch smeared ICE agents as “the Gestapo” and “nondescript thugs.”
• Rep. Dan Goldman compared federal agents to “secret police” who must be unmasked.
• Rep. Becca Balint called ICE agents “vigilantes” who can’t be trusted.
• Rep. Ilhan Omar said ICE agents are “vile and beyond cruel,” and that the agency should be abolished.
• Rep. Nikki Budzinski called ICE agents “dangerous and reckless.”
• Sen. Bernie Sanders asked people to “figure out a way to stop ICE from what they are doing as soon as possible.”
• Sen. Elizabeth Warren claimed ICE is “intentionally stok[ing] fear” and “tear[ing] communities apart.”
• Rep. Hakeem Jeffries implored people to “fight” the Trump Administration “in the streets” and declared ICE agents “will be unsuccessful” in protecting their identities “no matter what it takes.”
• Boston Mayor Michelle Wu compared ICE agents to the neo-Nazi group NSC-131.
• Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson accused ICE of being “secret police” who are “terrorizing our communities.”
• Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass spread a disgusting, fabricated hoax that ICE “kidnapped” a woman on her way to work.
• Rep. Gil Cisneros claimed ICE has “terrorized” people through “racial profiling.”
• Rep. Eric Swalwell said it was his “priority” to ensure ICE agents “are no longer faceless,” comparing them to “some 1800s bank robber or some KGB officer in Russia.”
• Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said ICE “should not exist.”
• Rep. Kweisi Mfume challenged the Trump Administration to “a street fight.”
• Rep. Jerry Nadler accused ICE agents of “hiding misbehavior because otherwise why would they be wearing masks?”

Payback may be about to find narco-traffickers in their own turf.

The US is reported to be preparing for military strikes on drug labs inside Venezuela, and the planned actions may also include drone attacks on major drug traffickers.

The strikes within the Bolivarian socialist state could potentially begin in a matter of weeks.

“Those sources are two U.S. officials familiar with the planning and two other sources familiar with the discussions. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the plans publicly.”

Three alleged drug boats from Venezuela reportedly carrying narco-traffickers and drugs have already been destroyed in the last weeks.

“Strikes inside Venezuela could happen in the next several weeks, but the president has not approved anything yet, the four people said. Two of them and an additional official familiar with the discussions said that the United States’ recent military escalation is in part a result of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro not doing enough, in the administration’s view, to stop the flow of illegal drugs out of his country.”

“Asked for comment, the White House referred NBC News to this previous statement from the president: ‘We’ll see what happens. Venezuela is sending us their gang members, their drug dealers and drugs. It’s not acceptable’. The Pentagon declined to comment.”

Discussions are said to be ongoing between the US and Venezuela through Middle Eastern intermediaries.

“According to a senior administration official, Maduro has spoken to those intermediaries about concessions he would be willing to make to remain in power. The senior administration official would not specify which countries are acting as intermediaries beyond saying that they are allies.”

War Room’s Steve Bannon and Jack Posobiec discussed the importance of aggressively targeting left-wing networks to restore order and security to the United States. These extremist groups will never stop targeting President Trump, his supporters, and America unless they are dealt with swiftly and without compromise.

The two also discussed the importance of indicting deep state actors like James Comey for undermining President Trump’s first term in office.

“Their purpose was to destroy Trump’s Presidency by making him a Russian asset,” Bannon commented on former FBI director James Comey.

“This was the predicate lie that started the patriot purge of our military, that started the patriot purge of the first administration,” Posobiec said regarding Russiagate.

“He sent FBI agents to go and interrogate General Flynn under false pretenses inside the White House,” Posobiec said.

“He was doing all of this to undermine the duly elected President of the United States. That is something that simply cannot stand,” Posobiec continued.

“People need to look back and understand just how absolutely horrific and severing this was to us as a nation,” Posobiec said.

Bannon and Posobiec also discussed how the Federal Government is now taking it to the next level and is aggressively targeting terrorist networks like antifa. Posobiec explained in detail how the joint task forces are designed to have law enforcement agencies at different levels working together to make it more efficient to target these groups.

“You have been talking about that would be basically levelling up. We would be going next level when that happened. Talk to us about that,” Bannon said.

“The joint terrorism task forces are designed exactly for this purpose. These are, there are 200 of these all around the country,” Posobiec said.

“You got local police, so NYPD, LAPD, working hand in hand with DHS, FBI, sometimes elements of the intelligence agencies where it makes sense, state police in some areas. So, what you are doing is you are breaking down those silos, and you’ve got a fusion team to be able to share intelligence and to be able to conduct operations in those specific areas,” Posobiec explained.

“If you look at the memo that President Trump signed two days ago, this new national security memo, seven. What that does, it directs the Attorney General to go, to activate the joint terrorism task forces. So, all the doxxing, the swatting, the riots, the planning, the conspiracy, that goes down there,” Posobiec explained.

Posobiec also explained that the IRS and the treasury department will target the financing of the terrorist operations for groups like antifa.

In an interview with The Gateway Pundit, Dr. Morhaf Ibrahim, president of the Alawites Association of the United States (AAUS), explained that Syria’s minorities; Alawites, Druze, Kurds, and Christians, have suffered greatly under the rule of Syria’s new government. He emphasized that while the regime of Bashar al-Assad was often referred to as “Alawite,” it was not representative of the Alawite people. “Upon the fall of the Assad regime on December 8, 2024, Alawites suffered from atrocities committed by the al-Julani government,” Dr. Ibrahim said.

Ahmed al-Sharaa, better known as Abu Mohammed al-Julani, assumed power in December 2024. Since then, Syria has witnessed devastating sectarian violence. In March 2025, according to official reports, more than 1,300 Alawites were killed in Latakia Governorate by government forces. However, the official number is much smaller than what was reported by eyewitnesses on the ground, including the Free Burma Rangers (FBR) (see my report in The Gateway Pundit), Alawite individuals, and social media users who filmed countless incidents of murder and mutilation carried out by government-aligned forces, some of whom were in uniform.

Eyewitnesses claimed that entire military columns, with trucks carrying hundreds of soldiers, arrived in towns and villages and killed every Alawite they could find. Dr. Ibrahim described one such incident on March 7 as “a huge massacre” where thousands of Alawites were killed and women kidnapped. He warned that “the current situation is very dire for them.” Reports of home invasions, kidnappings of Alawite women, and extrajudicial executions continue to circulate.

The violence has not been limited to Alawites. In April and July 2025, attacks on the Druze community left nearly 1,000 people dead, including 588 Druze civilians. The massacre took place in Suwayda Governorate, the Druze heartland of southern Syria. Dr. Ibrahim confirmed that “Suwayda has been under siege. They’re really suffering from a humanitarian crisis. No one goes out. Kids don’t go to school. There’s no money. They’re under really very tough circumstances right now,” he explained.

Christians have also faced escalating persecution. The most devastating attack occurred on June 22, 2025, when a gunman opened fire during Divine Liturgy at the Mar Elias Greek Orthodox Church in Damascus before detonating an explosive vest, killing at least 30 people and injuring 54 others. Earlier incidents included the December 2024 shooting at a Greek Orthodox church in Hama, the torching of a Christmas tree in Al-Suqaylabiyah, and the July 2025 destruction of the Greek Melkite Church of St. Michael in Sweida. Militants have gone door-to-door forcing residents to identify their faith, and Christian women have been pressured to adopt Islamic dress codes.

Dr. Ibrahim stressed that the brutality of al-Julani’s government must be understood in the context of his long extremist background. “Al-Julani has a terrorist background. He went to Iraq in the early 2000s to fight against Americans. Then he joined ISIS, then he joined al-Nusra, and then al-Nusra became part of Al-Qaeda. Then in 2015, he changed the name from al-Nusra to HTS, which is Hayushan. They took over Idlib and, because of Turkish support, they were able to take over the country after the fall of the Assad regime.”

Turkey has emerged as the primary external backer of Syrian rebel forces which ousted Bashar al-Assad, providing support to Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and directly controlling the Syrian National Army (SNA). Despite its name, the SNA has been described as a “wholly Turkish-owned entity” deployed to target Kurdish forces. Since December 2024, Turkish forces and their SNA proxies have killed more than 218, mostly Kurdish, Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) fighters and 121 Kurdish civilians in operations aimed at crushing Kurdish autonomy. These operations have included the execution of wounded Kurdish combatants and the targeting of vital civilian infrastructure, such as the Tishreen Dam.

Turkey justifies these actions by branding all Syrian Kurdish groups as extensions of the PKK terrorist organization, a designation that allows Ankara to present strikes on civilians and infrastructure as counterterrorism measures. Turkey and Iran also share a common interest in preventing the emergence of an autonomous Kurdish region, fearing that their own sizable Kurdish populations, roughly 20 percent in Turkey and 10 percent in Iran, would demand similar rights.

NATO has proven effectively powerless to curb Ankara’s interventions. U.S. officials cite Turkey’s NATO membership as the reason Washington cannot directly intervene in the conflict between Turkish and Syrian Kurdish forces. While the U.S. opposes Turkey’s attacks on the SDF and has threatened economic sanctions, its strategic need to keep Turkey within the alliance has limited Western responses to little more than muted criticism.

Dr. Ibrahim argued that Turkey’s role in empowering Islamist forces cannot be overstated. “Turkey is an Islamist country, under the regime of Erdogan. Erdogan himself has a background of the Muslim Brotherhood. Erdogan is an authoritarian, autocracy regime. The unwavering support to HTS and Islamists in the area made it very difficult for minorities, including Alawites, to be able to really survive and protect themselves,” he said. He added that Turkish backing was decisive for al-Julani’s rise to power: “Turkey’s support … the main force behind the success of al-Julani taking over these areas and maintaining his power. They are using drones from Turkey, they are using ammunition from Turkey, and they’ve been having full Turkish support, making them able to control the country and commit atrocities as well.”

Asked about relations between minority groups, Dr. Ibrahim emphasized unity in the face of Islamist aggression. He explained that Alawites, Kurds, Christians, Druze, and even moderate Sunnis had developed strong ties, collaborating in conferences, congressional meetings, and discussions with the State Department. “The Kurdish representation was crucial,” he said.

According to Dr. Ibrahim, minorities fear that Islamist dominance will transform Syria into “a very radical, very undemocratic kind of dictatorship that’s going to probably rule Syria for the next few years unless there’s a huge international commitment to the freedom and to the democracy of Syria and the freedom of the people of Syria.”

He explained that by “Islamist” he means theocratic autocracies like ISIS, the Taliban, or al-Qaeda. In contrast, he supports a democratic Syria with religious freedom and a clear separation between religion and politics. In his estimation, however, al-Al-Julani’s HTS government has already revealed its Islamist nature. “They don’t accept minorities. They don’t accept religious freedom, and the country is moving in the wrong direction,” he concluded.

The story of January 6th is full of men and women who stood up for their country and paid the price. Among them is Will Watson, a young father who went to Washington, D.C. to protest peacefully, only to be branded a criminal, locked away, and forced to watch his life unravel. Today, he is free but struggling to provide for his family, and he is humbly asking for our support to get back on his feet.
You can help Will directly here: GiveSendGo.com/HelpWillWatsonJ6.

A Patriot Who Spoke for Peace
Contrary to the false media narrative, Will was not in Washington to wreak havoc. He was there, like so many others, to be heard. When the crowd moved into the Capitol, he found himself in the Ohio Chamber alongside Jacob Chansley, the so-called “Q Shaman”, and Capitol Police officer Keith Robishaw.
Rather than incite violence, Will grabbed a bullhorn and urged everyone to remain calm:
“Everybody listen up. The police are willing to work with us and cooperate peacefully like our First Amendment allows. Gather more Americans under the condition that they will come and gather peacefully to discuss what needs to be done to save our country. We’re not going to assault—we’re going to be heard. Everybody, this must be peaceful.”
This moment was captured on video and later aired on Tucker Carlson’s program, yet the government ignored it and painted Will as one of the most “dangerous” individuals of the day. You can watch that powerful footage for yourself here: Rumble.com/vh5h4h.
Even Officer Robishaw admitted in sworn testimony that Will was “calm, reserved, and trying to calm the crowd down.” Still, the judge and prosecutors twisted the facts to suit their narrative and make an example out of him.

The Regime’s Punishment
For his actions on January 6th, Will was thrown into the nightmare that so many J6 patriots endured: federal prosecution, solitary confinement, and a stacked court system that refused to recognize the truth.
In March 2023, Judge Reggie Walton sentenced Will to three years in prison, more than twice the maximum guideline recommended. The judge declared that the Capitol was “my house” and “my building,” revealing the personal vendetta driving these punishments.
The timing was devastating. Just days before, Will’s first child was born three months premature, weighing less than a pound in the NICU. Instead of being at his daughter’s side, Will was locked in solitary confinement, powerless to help his family.
“I missed the birth of my first child and the first two years of her life,” Will recalls. “That caused me more pain than anything else.”

Stripped of Dignity, Saddled With Debt
Prison life was brutal. Will spent months in solitary, then endured 13 weeks of “diesel therapy,” being shuttled from facility to facility with no clear designation. At USP Lewisburg, his records were conveniently “lost,” leaving him in limbo.
Eventually he landed at FCC Yazoo City, where he did his best to survive. He read 117 books, learned Spanish, and worked in the prison factory. He stayed out of trouble, but every day reminded him that he was being punished not for violence, but for daring to protest.
To make matters worse, Will was ordered to pay $12,000 in restitution for a broken window he didn’t break. Video evidence showed someone else smashing it before he stepped through, but the court still forced him to take the blame. Initially the fine was set at $1,400, but it ballooned when the Architect of the Capitol decided to gouge J6ers with inflated damages.
After his release in August 2024, Will was forced to make $250 monthly payments on this impossible fine, while struggling to earn a living.

Struggling to Survive on the Outside
Since his release, Will has tried to reenter society, but stable work has been nearly impossible to find. Like many J6ers, he’s been effectively blacklisted. The best he’s been able to do is drive for DoorDash, scraping by paycheck to paycheck.
Now, even that meager lifeline is slipping away. His car has been plagued with problems—brakes, oil leaks, fluid leaks, battery issues—and he has already taken on over $1,000 in debt just to keep it running enough to work.
In his fundraiser, Will writes:
“After years of political persecution for peacefully entering the Capitol on January 6th, I have been unable to reestablish myself in the workforce to any degree that can pull me out of being nearly financially destitute… Life has been extremely difficult since being released, and I cannot seem to get even a little bit ahead. If you find it in your heart to help, it would mean the world.”
This is where we come in. Will needs help today, and we can provide it by supporting his campaign: GiveSendGo.com/HelpWillWatsonJ6.

Patriots Don’t Leave Patriots Behind
Every J6 story is different, but they all share a common thread: ordinary Americans punished by a weaponized system. Families torn apart, livelihoods destroyed, voices silenced.
But patriots take care of one another. No one should walk this path alone. That is why organizations like StopHate.com have stepped in to track and share fundraisers for J6 families who are still suffering. You can see the full list here: StopHate.com/SHDOD.
Will’s fundraiser is one of those efforts, and it deserves our full attention.

How You Can Help
Will Watson stood for peace on January 6th. He paid with his freedom, his finances, and precious years with his daughter. Now, he’s working to rebuild—but he cannot do it alone.
Please consider donating to his fundraiser, sharing it with friends, and keeping Will and his family in your prayers. Together we can show that the American spirit cannot be crushed, and that patriots will never abandon their own.
