Democrats and liberals believe they have stumbled onto a smoking gun that will prove their contention that ICE is Nazis and that the United States should have open borders. According to a leaked internal DHS document allegedly obtained by CBS News and reported on February 9, 2026, less than 14 percent of the nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by ICE during the first year of the Trump administration had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses.

Neither DHS nor CBS has published the document. As a result, the CBS report relies entirely on numbers the network claims to have seen, without allowing independent verification. The story has since been repeated across multiple mainstream media outlets, none of which have seen the document themselves and all of which are simply referencing the original CBS report.

It is important to note that being in the country illegally is itself grounds for deportation. No additional criminal charges are required, and one hundred percent of deportees meet this criterion.

The media often claim that people with pending asylum cases, green card holders, or individuals legally present in the country have been deported. This is untrue. A more accurate statement is that many people who previously held legal status lost that status for reasons such as violating the terms of a residency permit, missing a court date, or having an application denied. None of these constitute a criminal conviction or criminal charges, which helps explain the low percentage of deportees with criminal records.

Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin has publicly countered the CBS framing by stating that 70 percent of arrests involve “criminal illegal aliens.” That higher figure includes non-violent offenses such as traffic violations, DUI, or illegal entry. While illegal entry is often assumed to be a misdemeanor, it can be prosecuted as a felony. In practice, it frequently is not, because the government’s primary objective is deportation rather than incarceration.

Under the illegal re-entry statute, 8 U.S.C. § 1326, any individual who has previously been deported and then returns unlawfully commits an automatic felony punishable by up to two years in prison.

The remaining deportees were in the country illegally through either illegal entry or visa overstay. Under Title 8 of the U.S. Code, unlawful presence alone is a deportable offense regardless of criminal history.

Another factor inflating the “non-criminal” numbers is what ICE refers to as collateral arrests. Under current 2025 and 2026 guidelines, officers are instructed to arrest any undocumented individual they encounter while executing a warrant for someone else. If ICE goes to a home or apartment complex to arrest one person for a violent felony and encounters additional illegal aliens, all are arrested. In the data, this appears as one criminal arrest alongside multiple non-criminal administrative arrests, even though all are unlawfully present.

ICE has also returned to a no-exemptions enforcement posture. Under earlier policies, agents might have arrested a criminal target and left undocumented family members behind. Now, everyone present without legal status is generally taken into custody. As enforcement has shifted away from jail-based arrests and toward at-large community operations, officers are increasingly encountering entire households. This shift lowers the percentage of arrests involving criminal charges without changing the total number of people legally subject to removal.

A second major category counted as “non-criminal” consists of individuals with final orders of removal. Recent 2025 and 2026 trends show that roughly 30 to 40 percent of interior ICE arrests involve people who were already ordered to leave by an immigration judge but failed to comply.

ICE has expanded its focus on Fugitive Operations, targeting those who skipped court or ignored deportation orders. While these individuals may not have committed a new street crime, they are fugitives under immigration law, which further explains why they are labeled “non-criminal” in media reporting.

Taken together, the widely cited 14 percent figure is a statistical artifact of broad enforcement rather than evidence of indiscriminate targeting. When enforcement is applied to entire households and long-standing immigration fugitives, the criminal percentage inevitably declines. Yet in every case, whether a primary target, a collateral arrest, or a fugitive from a prior court order, one hundred percent are unlawfully present and legally subject to removal.

If Democrats are genuinely concerned about the ratio of violent offenders to individuals with no criminal record, they could significantly alter that ratio by turning over violent offenders and convicted criminals currently shielded by sanctuary jurisdictions. As of February 10, 2026, the Department of Homeland Security has directly accused California of releasing thousands of criminal offenders who could have been deported if local authorities had cooperated with ICE.

California’s sanctuary policies, particularly Senate Bill 54, restrict local law enforcement from notifying ICE or honoring detainers that request offenders be held for pickup. On February 6, 2026, DHS reported that since January 20, 2025, California jurisdictions released 4,561 criminal illegal aliens into the community despite active ICE detainers.

DHS states these releases included individuals charged with or convicted of 31 homicides, 661 assaults, and 234 sexual offenses. Had those offenders been transferred to ICE custody, they would have been deported, substantially increasing the proportion of deportees with serious criminal records.

The dispute has intensified amid a broader clash between Sacramento and Washington. ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons recently urged California officials to honor detainers for 33,179 illegal aliens currently held in the state’s jails and prisons. DHS claims this group includes nearly 400 murderers and more than 1,200 sexual predators.

Governor Gavin Newsom’s office has dismissed those figures as misleading, arguing that California cooperates with ICE for inmates convicted of serious or violent felonies in state prisons. At the same time, the state continues to restrict cooperation in county jails, where many offenders are held pretrial or for offenses classified as non-serious under state law.

By blocking ICE access to violent offenders already in custody, sanctuary jurisdictions force enforcement into the community. When agents search for a single criminal target, they frequently arrest additional undocumented individuals in the same household or neighborhood.

That policy choice inflates non-criminal arrest numbers and drives down the apparent percentage of violent offenders, producing the very statistics now being cited as evidence of misconduct.

Starmer survived the worst day of his premiership – but for how long?

The standard narrative going on is that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer ‘strong-armed’ his cabinet to support him – but it’s not that simple.

Tim Stanley wrote in The Telegraph that ‘The Cabinet members looked happy to me, but then they should. They saved Keir Starmer. Now they own him’, while The Daily Mail splashed in its headline that Starmer only got ‘a stay of execution’.

True, highly unpopular Starmer has vowed to resist: ‘Every fight I’ve been in, I’ve won’ – but bravado aside, he is still in the line of fire over his inexcusable choice of Jeffrey Epstein’s friend Lord Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US.

The party is over @Keir_Starmer.

The Telegraph reported:

“On a dramatic day in Westminster, Sir Keir used a meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) to tell his MPs to move on from the Mandelson scandal and come together in the fight against Reform UK.

The Prime Minister’s future in No 10 was thrown into doubt after Anas Sarwar, the Scottish Labour leader, became the first senior party figure to demand his resignation.”

If you still refuse to resign after your 20th scandal, then you’re a dictator.

“[Starmer] said: ‘I’ll tell you this, as long as I have breath in my body, I’ll be in that fight, on behalf of the country that I love and I believe in, against those that want to tear it up’.”

Reminder that just a few months ago, Keir Starmer spent almost the entirety of PMQs defending Peter Mandelson.

Daily Mail reported:

“Cabinet ministers had refused to publicly back the embattled Prime Minister for more than 24 hours after [Chief of Staff] Mr. McSweeney’s dramatic departure. Private discussions were held about the possibility of replacing him with an interim leader such as Defense Secretary John Healey.

But, with leadership rivals not ready to make their move and financial markets wobbling over the prospect of a chaotic contest, they finally bowed to No 10’s demands to issue public statements of support.

In a belated flurry of posts on social media, which began as Mr. Sarwar got to his feet, every member of the Cabinet gave the Prime Minister their broad support.”

Any progress in society has to be achieved over the fierce objection of abject liberals.

For decades, the Scandinavian Kingdom of Sweden was known for its open and welcoming society, and it took years of unchecked mass migration to destroy that.

And besides the fraying of the social fabric by an army of unassimilating migrants, Sweden was soon going to have to deal with a surge in organized crime activity, including the use of children for hits.

Now, it’s a common sight to note ‘children being pulled off the streets and searched without a warrant, or having their phones spied on by detectives’.

The Telegraph reported:

“But after four years of gang violence that has seen children as young as 12 recruited on social media to carry out hit jobs against rival gangsters, police say it has become a grim but necessary reality.

In April 2024, Swedish police were handed sweeping new powers to tackle the rise of Middle Eastern drug syndicates that were grooming boys and girls into being ‘foot soldiers’ by offering them up to 150,000 kroner (£12,500) per job.”

Another Swedish case from last year: A 16 year girl named as “Lisa” accepted a gig job as a murder commando. She and a 15 year old boy entered an apartment complex and shot a young women to death, the woman’s husband was shot in his hand.

It was her first job for a criminal gang https://t.co/bwBwXZx610 pic.twitter.com/DPJUh7wxuE

Now, Swedish officers have the power to stop and search people and vehicles without specific suspicion of a crime.

“Children under the age of 15 can also be placed under phone and internet surveillance by police if they are suspected of serious crimes, such as being involved in gang assassinations or bomb making.

Two years on, the laws – which had prompted outcry amongst liberals – are working. Sweden has seen the biggest decline in gun violence since the crisis began in 2022, according to the latest data.”

Will Sweden Go Nuclear? Scandinavian Country in Talks With France and UK on Nuclear Cooperation

On February 7, 2026, AdvanceUK held its first conference in Westminster, London, near the Palace of Westminster. Over 1,000 supporters attended as the party introduced policies on culture and immigration. The event signals a growing interest in patriotic renewal, similar to grassroots movements in the U.S. focused on national identity.

AdvanceUK is led by Ben Habib, a 60-year-old property developer and former Member of the European Parliament for the Brexit Party, which later became Reform UK. Habib was born in Pakistan to a Pakistani father and English mother, moved to the UK as a child, and built a career in real estate.

He became known for supporting Brexit and served as co-deputy leader of Reform UK with Nigel Farage. In 2025, Habib left Reform UK to promote more democratic involvement for party members. He founded AdvanceUK in December 2025 as a “people’s party” focused on restoring British sovereignty from organizations such as the World Economic Forum and the United Nations. The party aims for principled governance and draws on Britain’s Judeo-Christian heritage to encourage unity and prosperity.

At the event, Habib presented policies aimed at restoring Britain’s core values. AdvanceUK wants to defend Judeo-Christian roots by requiring oaths in Parliament, making English the main public language, and celebrating Christian holidays. The party proposes banning Sharia courts, public calls to prayer, face coverings like the burqa, and first-cousin marriages. AdvanceUK favors assimilation over multiculturalism and promises to end inheritance tax, reduce rural regulations, and end dual nationality.

Habib presented policies focused on restoring what the party sees as Britain’s core values. On culture, AdvanceUK wants to defend the country’s Judeo-Christian roots by requiring oaths in Parliament on the Bible or with secular affirmations. They also want to stop churches from being converted to other religious sites and make sure English is the main language in public institutions.

Broader plans focus on family values. These include ending inheritance tax to protect wealth and farms, supporting rural life by reducing environmental rules, and ending dual nationality to strengthen national loyalty.

AdvanceUK’s immigration plan, “Operation Restoring Justice,” would halt asylum applications and cancel recent approvals. Work visas would be limited to trusted countries, and foreign nationals would lose access to welfare. Immediate deportations would apply for overstayers and criminals, with new enforcement teams and Royal Navy patrols.

It would also limit work visas to a “Green List” of trusted countries, such as the U.S., Canada, and EU nations, while blocking entry from a “Red List” of other countries. Foreign nationals would lose access to welfare and housing, with incentives for voluntary departure.

The plan calls for immediate deportations without appeals for overstayers and criminals. It would create a new team for enforcement raids and involve the Royal Navy in the Channel. Visa rules would ban political activity and proselytizing to support cultural unity.

Speakers at the conference addressed moral decline, family values, and free speech. Notably, Kathy Gyngell, editor of The Conservative Woman, spoke about the importance of marriage and traditional values for national renewal. Professor Norman Fenton criticized universities for spreading cultural indoctrination and called for a return to merit and truth. Former Royal Marine Richard Thomson encouraged free speech and empowerment.

Habib described the party’s policies as a “righteous mandate” with legislation ready to go. The atmosphere was unified and determined, and social media was active afterward, with attendees praising the proposals as bold steps toward renewal.

AdvanceUK’s approach echoes U.S. debates on borders, heritage, and self-determination. The party supports Judeo-Christian values, seeks to counter Islamic influence, and aims to attract voters dissatisfied with mainstream parties.

Limited media coverage has been criticized as bias, but AdvanceUK’s focus on patriotism and cultural preservation presents a new right-wing voice as the UK navigates post-Brexit changes.

With elections coming up, AdvanceUK hopes to attract voters who feel let down by other parties and could change the right-wing vote. Some say the limited media coverage shows bias, but the party’s focus on democracy, patriotism, and cultural preservation presents a new and determined voice in British politics.

As the UK faces continued post-Brexit changes, AdvanceUK’s launch offers a plan for those who want a united and proud nation.
