President Trump on Friday evening announced the US military carried out its “most powerful bombing raids” in the history of the Middle East.

“Moments ago, at my direction, the United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East, and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran’s crown jewel, Kharg Island,” Trump said.

Our Weapons are the most powerful and sophisticated that the World has ever known but, for reasons of decency, I have chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island. However, should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and Safe Passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision.

During my First Term, and currently, I rebuilt our Military into the Most Lethal, Powerful, and Effective Force, by far, anywhere in the World. Iran has NO ability to defend anything that we want to attack — There is nothing they can do about it!

Iran will NEVER have a nuclear weapon, nor will it have the ability to threaten the United States of America, the Middle East or, for that matter, the World! Iran’s Military, and all others involved with this Terrorist Regime, would be wise to lay down their arms, and save what’s left of their country, which isn’t much! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” he added.

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey and Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell have unveiled a new online portal to allow residents to report alleged “misconduct” by federal immigration agents.

Launched on Friday, the so-called “reporting tool” is nothing short of a state-sponsored attack on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers who are doing their jobs to enforce federal immigration laws.

The portal allows individuals, attorneys, or even illegal aliens themselves to submit reports, photos, and videos documenting incidents involving federal agents.

According to state officials, the gathered information will help identify “patterns of potential misconduct,” support affected residents (illegal aliens), and inform possible legal actions or policy recommendations against federal enforcement efforts.

Gov. Healey justified the portal by claiming:

“We’ve seen across the country and here in Massachusetts that the tactics of ICE under the Trump Administration have been putting everyone at risk. This new reporting portal will help us gather information, support residents and ensure federal agents operating in our state are following the law.”

AG Campbell echoed the anti-ICE rhetoric, stating:

“The core duty of law enforcement, including federal law enforcement, is to keep our communities safe. But what we have seen from ICE in recent months across the country is the opposite: aggressive and reckless tactics that spread fear and chaos in our communities.”

This launch comes amid a surge in ICE detentions since President Donald Trump returned to office, with over 1,400 immigrants detained in Massachusetts alone during a major federal operation in September.

Healey’s administration has seemingly been at war against immigration enforcement, including asking private airlines to halt deportation flights from Hanscom Field, pushing legislation to ban ICE operations in “sensitive locations” like courthouses, schools, hospitals, and places of worship, and issuing an executive order requiring judicial warrants for ICE entry into non-public state facilities.

Similar initiatives exist in other blue states, including California and New Jersey.

Perhaps it’s time for the DOJ to step in and remind states who’s in charge of immigration law.

Ground stops have been implemented at all three major airports in the Washington, DC, area due to what the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) described as a “strong chemical smell at the Potomac TRACON.”

News Nation attributed the ground stop to equipment outages.

The FAA said in a statement,

“The FAA has temporarily stopped traffic at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) and Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI) because of a strong chemical smell at the Potomac TRACON that is impacting some air traffic controllers.”

Per The DMV Live:

The Potomac Consolidated TRACON (PCT) in Warrenton, Virginia, “provides air traffic control service to the Baltimore-Washington and the Richmond-Charlottesville Areas,” according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

“PCT controls the airspace over Andrews, BWI, Ronald Reagan, Dulles, Richmond and many other area airports.”

Per ABC 7:

The TRACON facility also serves Richmond International Airport, which is also under a ground stop, according to the FAA.

Philadelphia International Airport was also on a ground delay due to “equipment outages.”

This is a developing story.

A jury found nine Antifa members guilty of terrorism charges in an attack on an ICE detention center in Texas.

The nine indicted defendants: Cameron Arnold, a/k/a Autunm Hill, Zachary Evetts, Benjamin Song, Savanna Batten, Bradford Morris, a/k/a Meagan Morris, Maricela Rueda, Elizabeth Soto, Ines Soto, and Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada.

Last 4th of July, nearly a dozen Antifa members dressed in black bloc and body armor descended on the Prairieland ICE Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas.

The terrorists fired off explosives, vandalized federal vehicles, and fired shots at police officers.

A police officer was shot in the neck.

The defendants were found guilty on riot charges, providing material support to terrorists, conspiracy to use and carry an explosive, and using and carrying an explosive, three counts of attempted murder of an officer, three counts of discharging a firearm during a violent crime, corruptly concealing a document and conspiracy to conceal documents.

“Today’s verdict shows the FBI remains committed to identifying, locating, and dismantling Antifa and its funding networks across the country,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “Acts of violence against our law enforcement partners will not be tolerated, and we continue our work to protect communities across the country from domestic terrorism.”

“Antifa is a domestic terrorist organization that has been allowed to flourish in Democrat-led cities — not under President Trump,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “Today’s verdict on terrorism charges will not be the last as the Trump administration systematically dismantles Antifa and finally halts their violence on America’s streets.”

“Nine North Texas Antifa Cell operatives were convicted today by a federal jury in Fort Worth, Texas for their roles in rioting, using weapons and explosives, providing material support to terrorists, obstruction, and attempted murder of an Alvarado police officer and unarmed correctional officers at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center on July 4, 2025, announced United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Ryan Raybould,” the DOJ said.

“In a 12-day trial that began on February 23, 2026, jurors heard testimony from more than 45 witnesses and considered over 210 exhibits supporting the charges against nine indicted defendants: Cameron Arnold, a/k/a Autunm Hill, Zachary Evetts, Benjamin Song, Savanna Batten, Bradford Morris, a/k/a Meagan Morris, Maricela Rueda, Elizabeth Soto, Ines Soto, and Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada,” the Justice Department said.

“Seven others, Seth Sikes, Nathan Baumann, Joy Gibson, Susan Kent, Rebecca Morgan, Lynette Sharp, and John Thomas, pled guilty last year to one count of providing material support to terrorists,” the DOJ said.

This is the first-ever federal Antifa terrorism trial in Texas.
