Pelosi calls for arrest of ICE agents — and Trump’s DOJ fires back



Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for the arrest of federal ICE agents for doing their jobs — and it did not go unnoticed by the Trump administration.

Rep. Pelosi (D-Calif.) claimed in a statement earlier this week that local police could “arrest federal agents if they break California law.”

“Our state and local authorities may arrest federal agents if they break California law, and if they are convicted, the president cannot pardon them,” Pelosi said in a statement on October 23.

Pelosi also wrote in a post on X: “A mass deployment of federal agents in the Bay Area is an appalling abuse of law enforcement power. The people of San Francisco stand with our patriotic immigrants who are the constant reinvigoration of America. We will not be intimidated by politically motivated fear tactics.”


BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey’s father and BlazeTV contributor Ron Simmons could not be more thrilled with the response her comments inspired.

“That statement is so inappropriate and, in some ways, factually incorrect that it’s just appalling,” Simmons says, noting that Attorney General Pam Bondi did not let Pelosi’s comments slide.

Bondi responded to Pelosi’s nonsensical statements on Fox News, explaining that “Pelosi got a letter today from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. So did Brooke Jenkins, that DA in San Francisco.”

“We told them, ‘Preserve your emails. Preserve everything you have on this topic because if you are telling people to arrest our ICE officers, our federal agents, you cannot do that. You’re impeding an investigation. And we will charge them. If they think I won’t, they have not met me, because we will charge them if they are violating the law,” she added.

Simmons couldn’t be happier with Bondi’s response.

“I say hooray. Thank goodness. Thank goodness that they’re willing to do that,” he says, pointing out that Blanche went on in his letter to write, “Any attempts to arrest or interfere with federal agents is illegal and futile.”

“So, I hope that they’ll enforce that to the fullest extent of the law. All these men and women are trying to do is carry out their responsibilities that are passed down from the leaders of the executive branch,” Simmons says.

“And again, they’re not deporting U.S. citizens, and they’re focusing primarily on those that have committed crimes here in the U.S. or at home,” he continues.

“So ... it's just sickening,” he says, adding, “and almost, in my opinion, what some of these people are trying to do is on the border of treasonous. When you’re trying to impede federal law being upheld, I don’t know what else there could be. I mean, you become almost an enemy of the state.”

Mainstream Media Lament Deportation of Foreign ‘Journalist’ Who Celebrated Oct 7

ICE on Sunday detained British-born Muslim activist Sami Hamdi over his open support for Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack against Israel and plans to deport him from the country. Mainstream media outlets, though, have claimed the administration targeted Hamdi for criticizing Israel, an assortment of reports from outlets including but not limited to CBS News, CNN, and the New York Times shows.

The shocking details behind another fatal illegal alien truck crash



A crash on Tuesday in California involving an illegal alien truck driver resulted in three deaths and the hospitalization of several others.

Authorities identified the commercial truck driver allegedly responsible for the deadly collision as Jashanpreet Singh, a 21-year-old Indian national in the United States illegally.

'It is a terrible tragedy three innocent people lost their lives due to the reckless open border policies that allowed an illegal alien to be released into the US and drive an 18-wheeler on America’s highways.'

The California Highway Patrol arrested Singh, and he is being detained without bail at the West Valley Detention Center in San Bernardino.

The CHP told KCBS-TV that officers are investigating whether Singh has a valid commercial driver’s license to operate the semitruck.

Authorities claim Singh was speeding, and they suspect he was under the influence of drugs at the time of the crash on the 10 Freeway in Ontario that caused three deaths and injuries to four others. All of the victims were adults, the Ontario Fire Department told KCBS.

Rodrigo Jimenez of the CHP told KTLA that one of the vehicles involved in the collision was so badly mangled that investigators still had not identified its make and model.

“The fact that there are so many commercial vehicles involved in the crash, there’s a lot of weight behind the crash force,” Jimenez told the news outlet. “This is a very complex investigation, and that’s why officers from our multi-disciplinary accident investigation team have taken over.”

“This is a tragic crash because it was very preventable,” he continued. “If somebody had just paid attention, if everyone was driving sober, this tragedy would not have occurred.”

Singh faces charges of driving under the influence of drugs and causing bodily injury and gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated.

Dash camera footage from Singh’s cab showed the truck plowing into multiple vehicles without Singh appearing to apply the brakes.

Blaze News has reached out the office of Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) for comment.

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed on Thursday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed an arrest detainer against Singh. The department noted that he was released into the country under the Biden administration after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in 2022.

“It is a terrible tragedy three innocent people lost their lives due to the reckless open border policies that allowed an illegal alien to be released into the U.S. and drive an 18-wheeler on America’s highways,” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated.

“This accident follows a disturbing trend of illegal aliens driving 18-wheelers and semitrucks on America’s roads,” she continued. “Earlier this week, DHS highlighted another fatal accident in Indiana caused by an illegal alien driving a semitruck. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, ICE is working day-in and day-out to make America’s roads safe again.”

Earlier this month, the Department of Transportation announced it would withhold $40 million from California after the state failed to comply with English-language proficiency requirements for CDL holders.

DOT Secretary Sean Duffy called the situation “OUTRAGEOUS,” adding, “This is exactly why I set new restrictions that prohibit ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS from operating trucks.”

He demanded that Newsom “join every other state in the U.S. in enforcing these new actions to prevent any more accidents and deaths.”

Local CBS News station glosses over key details in its anti-ICE hit piece



CBS News Chicago released a report in early October claiming that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at the Broadview detention center had repeatedly dialed 911 with fabricated emergencies.

The report stated that, according to Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills, the police department had received "several questionable 911 calls ... from the ICE facility recently," emphasis added. However, the October 2 article mentioned only one alleged instance and failed to note that the event actually occurred months earlier.

'Our brave ICE law enforcement should be thanked for risking their lives every day to arrest murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and terrorists instead of vilified by sanctuary politicians.'

In the report, CBS shared bodycam footage of police responding to a 911 call that someone had reportedly tampered with the gate at the detention center. When police arrived at the scene, they found two individuals with the CBS News crew.

Mills told the news outlet that he believed ICE's call was bogus. One police officer told CBS that it did not appear anyone had been tampering with the gate.

"The chief said that was just one of several questionable 911 calls his police department has received from the ICE facility recently," CBS reported.

However, while the CBS News Chicago broadcast showed the incident report and bodycam footage of the alleged false call, revealing that it occurred on June 15, 2025, the article published on the CBS News website made no mention of the June date. CBS News Chicago also failed to cite any other incidents.

Blaze News contacted CBS News, CBS News Chicago, and Mills to inquire whether they could provide any details about other alleged false calls made by ICE agents.

The police report obtained by Blaze News confirmed that the gate-tampering call occurred on June 15, over three months before CBS News' reporting.

"[The responding officer] made contact with the two individuals who identified themselves as members of a CBS News crew. They stated that they had been in the area for approximately 10 minutes and denied witnessing or participating in any criminal activity, including tampering with the gate," the report reads.

It notes that an ICE agent at the detention center "approached the news crew and advised them that the property was private and that they were not permitted to enter."

"The news crew acknowledged the warning and, though initially hesitant, complied with the directive," the report continues.

The Department of Homeland Security rejected claims that ICE agents at the facility were making false emergency calls to the local police department.

"After a terrorist attack at an ICE facility in Dallas, Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills is choosing to smear our brave ICE law enforcement," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Blaze News. "Our ICE officers are facing a more than 1,000% increase in assaults [including] sniper attacks, cars being used as weapons, and assaults from rioters."

"Our brave ICE law enforcement should be thanked for risking their lives every day to arrest murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and terrorists instead of vilified by sanctuary politicians," McLaughlin continued. "[It's] disheartening that even after the terrorist attack and arrests of rioters with guns outside the Broadview ICE facility these sanctuary politicians chose [to] engage in political theatre to inflame hatred of ICE."

The CBS article was amplified by those on the left, including California Governor Gavin Newsom's communications director, Izzy Gardon.

"WOAH. CBS News reports ICE has been making bogus calls to 911 and filing false police reports in Chicago," he wrote in a post on X on October 6, providing a link to the article in the comments.

Bari Weiss, a journalist and the founder of the Free Press, was named editor in chief of CBS News just days after this article was released. She has vowed to make CBS "the most trusted news organization in America and the world." To guide the outlet's changes, she outlined 10 "core journalistic values," including to "[report] on the world as it actually is;" "tell the truth plainly — wherever it leads;" and "endeavor to present the public with the facts, first and foremost."

CBS News, CBS News Chicago, Mills, and Gardon did not respond to a request for comment.

Trump’s National Guard gambit misses the mark



Crime is bad. Violent crime is worse. That’s obvious. It’s not a partisan point. Most Democrats — I happen to be one of them — don’t cheer lawlessness. In fact, 68% of us say crime is a major problem in big cities. A few progressives have attacked police, but they sit far outside the mainstream. Most Democratic voters hold a higher opinion of law enforcement than of traditional liberal pillars like organized labor or public schools.

So if everyone agrees crime is bad, the real argument isn’t over morality — it’s over solutions.

We all agree crime is bad. The question is whether we fight it with empty theatrics or serious, sustained policing.

That’s where President Trump’s anti-crime efforts collapse. Talking tough doesn’t make streets safer. His approach wastes money, strains resources, and distracts from the hard work of policing.

The problem with militarizing cities

Trump’s main crime-fighting move has been deploying the National Guard to large cities like Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles. Chicago, Portland, and San Francisco are also on the president’s list. The images look dramatic, but they don’t reduce crime.

The Posse Comitatus Act bars the president from using the military as a domestic police force, which makes it unclear whether Guardsmen can legally arrest suspects or patrol neighborhoods. Most Guardsmen don’t want to cross that line — and they aren’t trained to. In Washington, the Guard’s own report lists its activities: clearing trash, spreading mulch, and painting fences. Good work, yes — but not policing.

These deployments also carry a hefty price tag. The Los Angeles mission, involving 4,000 guardsmen and 700 Marines for less than two months, cost about $118 million. Washington’s ongoing deployment could exceed that. Long-term operations in cities like Memphis, Portland, and Chicago would drive the bills even higher.

And those aren’t the only costs. The Guard is already stretched thin. Disaster relief missions during brutal wildfire and hurricane seasons have drained manpower and equipment. Overseas deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan reduced recruitment and retention. If the president keeps sending Guardsmen into American cities, they may not be ready when the country faces a real disaster — or, heaven forbid, a war.

Ignoring what works

Instead of chasing headlines, Trump could invest in what actually reduces crime. His One Big Beautiful Bill Act offered funding only for local agencies that cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. It provided nothing to hire or retain more police or prosecutors — the people who actually solve crimes and clear backlogged cases.

The solution is straightforward: Redirect the hundreds of millions spent on National Guard deployments into state and local law enforcement. Departments nationwide face critical shortages. Chicago alone needs about 1,300 more officers.

History proves this works. Between the late 1960s and early 1990s, violent crime surged 371%. By 1991, the U.S. murder rate hit a historic peak. Then came the bipartisan 1994 Violent Crime and Law Enforcement Act. The law funded new prisons, domestic violence prevention programs, and — most importantly — about 84,000 additional police officers.

The result? Crime fell sharply. Violent crime has dropped roughly 50% since then. The law had flaws — cutting inmate access to higher education was one — but safer streets remain its chief legacy.

The way to fight crime

If President Trump truly wants to make America safer, he should stop staging photo ops and start funding proven methods. Deploying the National Guard is costly, risky, and legally questionable. Hiring cops, prosecutors, and judges works — and has worked for decades.

We all agree crime is bad. The question is whether we fight it with empty theatrics or serious, sustained policing. The answer should be as clear as the problem itself.

Democrats plan to add 'master ICE tracker' to website



At a press conference on October 20, Democrat lawmakers announced their intention to create "a master ICE tracker" to track and document immigration enforcement operations by ICE, CBP, and other law enforcement entities.

House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) said the tracker will be located on the Oversight Committee "website," though whether he meant the Democrats' site or the general site is unclear.

'This is a reckless assault on law enforcement that endangers ICE agents and compromises public safety.'

At the press conference, Garcia lashed out against the Trump administration's ongoing immigration crackdown, accusing ICE of "misconduct" and "brutality." He claimed that ICE has been arresting American citizens "because they look like me, because they are of Latino origin."

Speaking about the upcoming ICE tracker, Garcia said, "We are going to be tracking every single instance that we can verify, that the community will be able to send us information on." He said the tracker will launch "over the next couple of weeks."

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) joined Garcia in expressing outrage over the ongoing immigration crackdown: "What is happening to undocumented immigrants is also happening to U.S. citizens, which means that this can happen to anyone, to all of us, at any time."

Garcia praised Bass for her commitment "to ensuring that every single moment of terror, of injustice that happens here in Los Angeles, and really across the country, is recorded."

Garcia, along with Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), wrote to the Department of Homeland Security to demand detailed information on the "disturbing and increasingly frequent reports of unconstitutional detentions of U.S. citizens." The letter went on to say that President Trump "has embraced the use of federal immigration agents to terrorize communities nationwide."

According to CBS Los Angeles, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in a statement, "The Trump administration is fulfilling the president's promise to deport criminal illegal aliens, and any individuals who attempt to illegally interfere with operations or assault law enforcement officers will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law."

In a statement to Blaze News, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the Oversight Committee chairman, said: "Oversight Committee Democrats are completely unhinged. ... They're doubling down with a so-called 'master' ICE tracker designed to target and undermine lawful immigration enforcement. Let's be clear: This is a reckless assault on law enforcement that endangers ICE agents and compromises public safety."

Garcia's office had not responded to a request for comment at time of publication.

San Jose Sharks apologize for displaying pro-ICE message on scoreboard during Hispanic celebration



The San Jose Sharks hockey team will not explain how a message in support of Immigration and Customs Enforcement made its way onto the big screen.

The incident happened during the first intermission on Saturday at the Sharks' annual Hispanic celebration at the SAP Center in San Jose, California.

'The Sharks organization sincerely apologizes for this oversight.'

During the break in the scoreless game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, a text image appeared on the arena's scoreboard reading, "SJ SHARKS FANS LOVE ICE!! GET'EM BOYZ!" along with a video of the team mascot, S.J. Sharkie, waving next to the message.

A fan captured the message in a video and posted it to X.

"Hey [Sharks], how on earth is this an acceptable thing to have on your Jumbotron, like, ever, much less on a night honoring Hispanic heritage? I'm so appalled and disappointed in you right now," the fan wrote.

This prompted an apology from the organization later that night, describing the message as offensive and coming from an "outside source."

"During the first intermission of tonight's game, an offensively worded message which had been externally submitted was inadvertently displayed on the in-arena scoreboard," the message explained. "Sharks Sports & Entertainment deeply regrets that this message, which does not meet our organization's values, was not detected during our standard review process. The Sharks organization sincerely apologizes for this oversight, and we are actively working to determine the origin of the message."

Blaze News asked the team if the investigation was concluded and what exactly the team was apologizing for.

Scott Emmert, the team's senior vice president of communications, responded and said the organization declined to provide further comment on the situation.

In video of the incident, at the bottom of the screen, a scrolling message stated, "Want to see your personalized greeting here? Visit sjsharkie.com."

That URL leads to a website offering a "Name in Lights" scoreboard greeting program.

"The Sharks are offering completely customizable greetings. Your greeting will appear in lights during the 1st intermission and you may add any greeting to the center hung scoreboard," the program states.

Restrictions on the messages include those with a commercial purpose or any that are "obscene, offensive, or refer negatively to any NHL team."

Using NHL players' names is also prohibited, and the team reserves the right to remove or edit any message. In the case of a removal, the $75 fee is refunded.

The night in question was the team's ninth annual Los Tiburones game, "a celebration of the team's commitment to the Bay Area's vibrant Hispanic community."

The night spotlights Latino performers and concessions, a Spanish-language broadcast, and, of course, a bevy of merchandise.

In the aftermath of the scoreboard message, fans were outraged, but their political leanings depended on the platform.

On X, the team saw an overwhelmingly pro-ICE response, with messages such as "why is supporting law enforcement offensive," and "So the Sharks are in favor of illegal immigration? Is that what I’m gathering?"

On Instagram, however, multiple unrelated posts by the team saw messages calling the team racist or asking "you guys gonna start calling ice on fans or what?"

The Sharks did not make a dedicated post with their apology on Instagram.
