Trump’s DOJ cracks down on defiant sanctuary city mayor shielding illegal aliens



The Trump administration's Department of Justice is taking legal action against another sanctuary jurisdiction.

The DOJ filed a lawsuit on Thursday against Boston, contending that the city's sanctuary status interferes with the federal government's immigration enforcement.

'If Boston won't protect its citizens from illegal alien crime, this Department of Justice will.'

The agency accused Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu, who recently reaffirmed her support of sanctuary policies, of "repeatedly" shielding criminal illegal aliens from federal immigration agents and endangering public safety.

"In a recent letter to Attorney General Pamela J. Bondi, Mayor Wu went so far as to say that 'Boston will never back down' from its sanctuary city policies," the DOJ's lawsuit read. "Cities cannot obstruct the Federal Government from enforcing immigration laws. When that occurs, a city breaks the law. The City of Boston is doing just that."

The department argued that the city's sanctuary policies, specifically the Boston Trust Act, are illegal under federal law. The act prevents local law enforcement and other city departments from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement's detainer requests.

The lawsuit against Boston is part of the DOJ's greater effort to take legal action against sanctuary policies nationwide. The department previously filed complaints in New York, New Jersey, and California.

"The City of Boston and its Mayor have been among the worst sanctuary offenders in America — they explicitly enforce policies designed to undermine law enforcement and protect illegal aliens from justice," Bondi said. "If Boston won't protect its citizens from illegal alien crime, this Department of Justice will."

Wu responded to the lawsuit by declaring that the city "will not yield."

"This is our city, and we will vigorously defend our laws and the constitutional rights of cities, which have been repeatedly upheld in courts across the country. We will not yield," Wu stated.

"This unconstitutional attack on our city is not a surprise," Wu continued. "Boston is a thriving community, the economic and cultural hub of New England, and the safest major city in the country — but this administration is intent on attacking our community to advance their own authoritarian agenda."

'F**khead crackers': Apparent trans-identifying genocide advocate allegedly guns down a dad who just took his boy to school



The day after a trans-identifying man shot up a Catholic church full of children in Minneapolis, an apparent trans-identifying radical allegedly opened fire in Massachusetts — this time leaving a father dead who had just walked his 6-year-old boy to school in Shrewsbury.

The Shrewsbury Police Department indicated they received a 911 call just before 9 a.m. Thursday from an individual being attacked on the pathway near Jordan Park, just east of Lake Quinsigamond. The police dispatcher not only heard gunshots during the 911 call but also reportedly heard 56-year-old victim Kevin Doherty say, "He shot me."

'We should kill them all.'

Police arrived at the scene, finding Doherty wounded on the ground.

After administering first aid, police took the victim to the UMass Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries. As the suspect had fled the scene, law enforcement issued a shelter-in-place order, locking down the nearby school, then launched a manhunt.

Shrewsbury Police — working with the Massachusetts State Police's Special Tactical Operations Team and supported by other police departments in the area — tracked down the suspect using drone technology. SWAT ultimately captured the suspect at his home without incident.

According to court records reviewed by MassLive.com, the 26-year-old male suspect, Snehal Ansh Srivastava, has been charged with armed assault with intent to murder and carrying a firearm without a license. During his Friday arraignment, Srivastava pleaded not guilty.

Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. said during a news conference that Doherty was on his way home from taking his boy to school when he spotted an individual spray-painting an overlook near Jordan Pond. Evidently concerned about keeping his neighborhood clean, Doherty took a photo of the alleged vandalism — and that apparently did not sit well with Srivastava.

According to local paper Community Advocate, Srivastava identifies as a "transgender." Srivastava — who appears bearded in various photos in videos but wears women's clothing — allegedly notes on his Instagram page that he uses "she/her/hers" pronouns.

One of the suspect's apparent websites is replete with murderous rhetoric, including calls for genocide.

Srivastava allegedly shared a number of "decrees" on a site titled "Nation of Ayodhya," which is linked from the aforementioned Instagram page. In one of the decrees, Srivastava allegedly states:

I call on the Gangstas to assemble towards Revolution. Gangsta is an African Indigenous reclamation of Turtle Island. By the power vested in me by Mami Wata, and my ancestors descendent; I hereby bless every Blac(k) American Gang to establish themselves as a Tribal Society to be represented in the democratic republic of Black Hawk Nation. I authorize every Black American Gang to reclaim their territories as their Blac(k) American Indigenous homelands.

Srivastava allegedly also calls Israel a "terrorist organization"; condemns "f**khead crackers"; says of Israelis, "we should kill them all, save Palestine and be jus [sic] be done with it"; states that "the protection of Palestine requires the eradication of western based genocidal white supremacy"; and calls for the arrest of Elon Musk and the dismantling of all American law enforcement agencies.

It appears Srivastava also wears his extremism proudly.

The Community Advocate noted that his house is spray-painted with leftist tags and slogans including "BLM" and "Free Palestine."

Unsurprisingly, Srivastava's arrest Thursday was not his first run-in with the law.

In July 2021, police reportedly arrested Srivastava on charges of assault and battery, assault and battery on a police officer, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, resisting arrest, and malicious destruction of property.

In September 2022, the Westborough Police Department arrested Srivastava on charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, disorderly conduct, and mayhem. Witnesses told police at the time that Srivastava allegedly "drove his vehicle toward the victim in an attempt to run him over and then exited his vehicle wielding a machete which he used to cut the victim during the altercation."

He apparently was arrested again for an outstanding warrant in March 2023.

Male HS choral director arrested on sex trafficking charges, accused of meeting underage student through LGBTQ dating app



A Massachusetts music teacher is accused of sex trafficking by paying a minor — whom he met through an LGBTQ dating app — for sex acts.

The Plymouth County District Attorney's Office said in a press release, "A Brockton High School instructor has been arraigned on human trafficking charges after an investigation by the Massachusetts State Police and Brockton Police, Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz has announced."

'We are deeply troubled by the allegations in this case.'

Matthew Cunningham, 35, was arrested at his Brockton home around 10:20 a.m. Tuesday by members of the Massachusetts State Police Special Services Section High Risk Victim Squad and Brockton Police.

Cunningham pleaded not guilty to charges of sexual conduct for a fee and trafficking of a person for sexual servitude during his arraignment in Brockton District Court.

Cunningham's bail was set at $25,000.

However, the judge set specific conditions if he is released on bail.

The Enterprise reported that bail conditions include "home confinement with GPS monitoring, staying away from and not contacting the victim, staying away from Brockton High School, refraining from using social media, relinquishing his passport, and staying in Massachusetts."

The Plymouth County District Attorney's Office said the child sex crime charges stem from months-long investigations by Massachusetts State Police and Brockton Police.

"The allegations are that on April 27, 2025, Cunningham met up with an underage male victim, performed a sexual act on the victim, and then paid the victim on an app," the DA's office stated. "App administrators contacted the FBI after flagging the monetary transaction between an adult and a minor."

Assistant District Attorney Jason Blanchette claimed Cunningham asked the alleged victim if he was willing to engage in sex acts for money through Grindr — a dating app geared toward the LGBTQ+ community, the Enterprise reported.

More from the outlet:

After connecting on the app, Cunningham allegedly picked up the victim and drove him to his house, where he paid the victim for sex acts, Blanchette said. [...]

After the encounter, the prosecution said the victim recognized Cunningham as the choral director at his school and grew uncomfortable with the encounter.

Brendan Kelly — Cunningham's court-appointed defense attorney — said his client was not aware that the alleged victim was under 18 years old or that he was a student at Brockton High School.

According to Grindr's community guidelines, users on the dating app must be at least 18 years old.

Brockton Public Schools said Cunningham was placed on paid administrative leave as soon as school officials found out about the allegations.

"Brockton Public Schools learned today of the arrest of Brockton High School teacher Matthew Cunningham, and he was immediately placed on paid administrative leave," Brockton Public Schools said in a statement released on Tuesday, according to CBS News. "We are deeply troubled by the allegations in this case."

The ongoing investigation will include a forensic examination of Cunningham’s cell phone, according to the district attorney's office.

Cunningham is scheduled for a Sept. 18 court appearance.

‘Flood the zone’: ICE fires back at Boston Mayor Wu’s sanctuary defiance



President Donald Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement is pushing back against Boston Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu's refusal to end the city's sanctuary policies.

During a rally held earlier this week, Wu stated that the city received a letter from the U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi "threatening to prosecute city officials and withhold federal funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations."

Bondi sent similar letters to Chicago, Philadelphia, and Washington.

'Our elected officials may not appreciate the important work ICE does, but their residents sure do.'

Wu accused the Trump administration of causing "fear and harm" within the community.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons fired back at Wu's refusal to cooperate with immigration officials.

During an interview on "The Howie Carr Show" on Wednesday, Lyons declared, "We're definitely going to … flood the zone, especially in sanctuary jurisdictions."

"Boston and Massachusetts decided to say that they wanted to stay sanctuary," Lyons continued. "Sanctuary does not mean safer streets. It means more criminal aliens out and about the neighborhood. But 100%, you will see a larger ICE presence."

Lyons stated that there are many Boston law enforcement officers and jurisdictions outside the city that want to work with ICE.

"That's what I think local leaders don't understand is they need to talk to the men and women on the ground, because … there are so many of these criminal aliens that keep getting released to go out and commit more crimes that the local law enforcement have to deal with. We can take that violent criminal alien instantly out of the neighborhood," Lyons added.

"Massachusetts residents are safer when ICE is keeping our country safe," Paul Craney with the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance told Blaze News. "If ICE Director Tom Lyons wants to flood Boston, it just means Boston will become safer. Anyone who has eyes has seen for themselves the crime in Boston, and as a state and city, we should be doing everything we can to welcome their assistance. Our elected officials may not appreciate the important work ICE does, but their residents sure do."

ICE Boston announced Thursday that it recently completed a four-day operation in Connecticut, declaring the state "a sanctuary no more."

Acting Field Office Director Patricia Hyde contended that sanctuary policies endanger the communities they aim to protect.

Hyde told “America’s Newsroom” on Wednesday, “Unlike Mayor Wu, I was born and raised in Massachusetts. I grew up in Boston.” Wu was born and raised in Chicago. She first moved to Massachusetts to attend Harvard

"I know what a safe Boston looks like, and this isn’t it,” Hyde remarked.

Chris Coons’ Crocodile Tears Over Judicial Nominations Are Pure Hypocrisy

Senate Republicans should ignore Coons complaints against the White House.

The cold civil war is real — and only one side is fighting to win



Don’t threaten me with a good time, Texas.

If you are going to issue arrest warrants for the Democrat traitors, then somebody better get arrested. Get busy living, or get busy dying.

If we don’t fight for the good, the true, and the beautiful, we risk far more than elections

We’re not just living through political dysfunction — we’re slogging through a cold civil war. And it’s time we started acting like it. Just war theory demands it.

Living ‘not of’ this world

Augustine developed the theory for a Christianized Roman empire that needed to distinguish the rules of the “City of God” from those of the city of man. Today, America must reclaim that tradition — not to excuse evil for the sake of good, but to return to our foundational, God-ordained principles.

To what degree can we become the shining city on a hill that the founders intended while being mere sinners? Since the values that defined such a city existed long before the American experiment was ever tried, we were clearly meant to rely on the rigorous application of self-evident truths — not to reinvent the wheel.

We have a duty to defend the integrity of our worldview — contrary to what your sweater-vested beta-male pastor may have told you. When the laws of nature and nature’s God are under attack, we are biblically called to offer up reasons for the hope that is in us.

When we don’t, we don’t just forfeit hope; we invite its opposite — despair — which has so often been the case in recent years. We must choose: the way of men or the way of cowards.

Yes, Trump won in 2024, and life is indeed better than it was a very short while ago. But make no mistake: We are still under attack.

A new ‘just war’ theory

That’s why we need a renewed just war theory for America’s current plight.

Whereas the spirit of the age — via its primary political vehicle, the Democratic Party — has willfully broken the social compact that once bound us together as a people;

And whereas that same spirit has made clear through both policy and rhetoric that it has no interest in restoring that compact;

Therefore, we no longer owe deference to any tradition, legal fiction, or gesture toward comity that no longer binds us. To pretend otherwise is to either lose the cold civil war or start a hot one that our children will be forced to fight.

We won’t do that to them. We will do the hard things now so that they may live free.

Therefore, our new rules of engagement are as follows: We will do everything it takes to win, other than what the ultimate judge of our fates explicitly forbids in his word. But short of that, we will do everything else to the greatest degree and with maximum prejudice when necessary.

We prefer cold civil wars when our side wins and the other side loses.

No more furrowed-brow “nicer-than-God” poses from the Mike Pence school of surrender. No more ackshuallys. No more arguing like the earth is flat.

Our domestic enemies hate us. They want to enslave our children. We must defeat them — without apology.

Our enemies are prowling

Remember that iconic line from “Independence Day”?

You will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution — but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist. … We will not go quietly into the night!

If the fictional American president played by Bill Pullman in “Independence Day” could get us out of our seats with such a message, maybe it’s time we recommit ourselves to such a message possibility in real life.

That’s the prime directive. And after taking a bullet to the face and rising to shout “Fight, fight, fight!” it’s one that Donald Trump has recommitted to — body and soul.

Every tactic and strategy must now be filtered through that lens.

Because if we don’t fight for the good, the true, and the beautiful, we risk far more than elections. We risk our eternal souls.

Our enemies are deadly wolves, and they know what they are doing. Elizabeth Warren didn’t just accidentally find herself next to a foreign-born, communist, Islamic rainbow jihadist in New York and decide to brand him as the new face of her party.

She did it because she is making plans for your destruction.

So yes, we need to start arresting traitors in Texas. And that should only be the beginning of what we’re prepared to do because we love God, our children, and our future.
