An attempted beheading in the Kinnaird Avenue area of North Belfast was thwarted late Monday night after a stick-wielding Good Samaritan and other passersby intervened, giving the attacker a good thwacking.
Although he kept his head, the victim — a citizen in his 40s — was taken to the hospital in serious condition with "significant injuries to his face, neck, and back," according to a police press release.
'We do not have to live like this.'
The suspected attacker, a Sudanese national in his 30s whom the Police Service of Northern Ireland initially mistook for a Somali, has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. He remains in police custody.
Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson said in a statement, "This brutal attack will have sent shock waves through the community, causing real concern. I want to reassure the local community that we are treating this attack with the utmost seriousness."
Citing the supposed risk of further traumatizing the victim, Henderson implored "members of the public not to share or repost" images or footage of the attack.
Despite the urging by police, remigration activist Tommy Robinson and other transparency-oriented members of the British public have shared the horrific footage, which shows a black male sitting atop a bloodied victim, shouting something in a foreign tongue, then carving into the victim's throat.
A burly gentleman armed with a hurling stick can be seen rushing into action and repeatedly hammering the suspect over the head. Another two men rush in to help — one attempting to pull the victim to safety and the other giving a few well-placed kicks to the aggressor's head.
In the House of Commons on Tuesday, Hilary Benn, the secretary of state for Northern Ireland, addressed the Good Samaritans who intervened, stating, "You showed the very best of humanity, and you have the profound gratitude of this entire House."
Gavin Robinson, a member of the British Parliament for East Belfast who pressed Benn to comment on the matter, claimed that the Sudanese suspect behind the "medieval" attack was in the country on a five-year visa.
"Having abused the privilege of our nation, the perpetrator living in the U.K. under a five-year visa needs to be convicted and deported on the first flight out on a one-way ticket," said Robinson.
While Benn refused to divulge whether the suspected attacker first entered Northern Ireland illegally, he said that "any foreign national who abuses the hospitality of this country to commit crimes should be in no doubt of our determination to deport them."
Rupert Lowe, a British lawmaker who serves as leader of Restore Britain, demanded on Tuesday that Prime Minister Keir Starmer — who characterized the attempted beheading as "sickening" — provide "full details of this savage's nationality, immigration status, and religion," stressing that the "British people need to know the full truth."
"I have had enough. The British people have had enough. We do not have to live like this," wrote Lowe. "There is another way. Death penalty, mass deportations, end mass immigration."
While British conservative politician Matt Vickers, the MP of Stockton West, did not advocate for the death penalty, he was among those who similarly demanded that the government release the relevant facts "to avoid speculation and prevent an information vacuum, which the independent reviewer of terror legislation has warned about."
"If there have been failings on our borders, this is yet another reminder that we do need stronger borders and this is why we believe it is time to leave the [European Convention on Human Rights,]" added Vickers.
While some politicians want answers, others have expressed concern that this latest apparent instance of imported violence might be used by the right in criticism of Britain's failed migration policies.
Colum Eastwood, an Irish politician who served as the leader of the Social Democratic and Labour Party, stated, for instance, "The horrific scenes in North Belfast should not be used by English, right wing politicians to further their own ends."
The Green Party stated, "There are those who will seek to use this to further their aims, to create division, marginalise vulnerable communities, and undo the steps we have made toward a more cohesive society. We must not let them."
Mass protests are expected to rock Belfast on Tuesday evening.
Lowe cautioned protesters in advance: "Patriots — if you are protesting tonight, in Belfast or elsewhere, do NOT give Starmer what he wants. Stay calm. Keep your heads. Do NOT attack the police. The state will show you no mercy. The dangerous ‘far-right’ will be blamed, and your life will be ruined forever. It will be that brutal. However angry you are feeling now, it is not worth it. Protest — but do it loudly, do it peacefully."
Tommy Robinson, who has advertised the protests, said in a statement, "Stop dumping these third world savages into our communities!"

Vance defends 'righteous anger' over white English teen's death in police custody after Sikh murderer falsely cried racism
Vice President JD Vance and the U.S. State Department have weighed in on the British scandal surrounding the murder of English teen Henry Nowak and the systemic issues that Nowak's mistreatment at the hands of police have illuminated.
Quick background
Nowak, 18, was fatally stabbed in an unprovoked attack on Dec. 3, 2025, by a knife-wielding Sikh named Vickrum Digwa. Adding grievous insult to injury, Digwa told police that he had acted defensively — that Nowak was a racist who had called him a "Paki" and attacked him.
The police officers from the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary who arrived on the scene reflexively accepted the Sikh's false claim that the dying teen was a racist aggressor, arrested and handcuffed Nowak based on those false accusations, and then dismissed his final pleas.
Digwa was convicted of murder last week and sentenced on Monday to a minimum of 21 years in prison.
Unlike Nowak's killer, the scandal surrounding his death is not going away anytime soon.
Following the release of horrifying bodycam footage showing Nowak's undignified death in the custody of members of Southampton police, multitudes of Britons took to the streets of southern England in protest, demanding the termination and/or prosecution of the officers involved, one of whom has resigned.
British politicians meanwhile sounded off about the discriminatory policies and practices that lay the groundwork for the teen's mistreatment.
RELATED: Amnesty International frets about 'racial justice' again — just not for white people
The National Police Chiefs' Council announced amid the protests that it is reviewing its anti-racism guidance, which, as currently worded, explicitly calls for treating people differently on the basis of race:
Our commitment to racial equity means producing equality of policing outcomes for people from different ethnic groups by responding to individuals and communities according to their specific needs, circumstances, and experiences, with understanding that these will be racialised and with the aim of reducing harm. It does not mean treating everyone "the same" or being "colour blind" (racial equality).
Criticism from the land of the free
The U.S. State Department chimed in on Thursday, writing on social media, "Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West."
"The United States sends our condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time," added the State Department.
'He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred.'
Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) stressed in response that "Henry Nowak deserved better," and BlazeTV host Auron MacIntyre wrote that "it would be nice to see the State Department treat the UK as a totalitarian terrorist state oppressing its population because that’s obviously true."
The chatter in America has evidently enraged some leftists in the United Kingdom.
Ed Davey, a British politician who serves as leader of the Liberal Democrats in the House of Commons, responded to the State Department's post with apoplexy, writing, "The Trump administration is attacking our democracy. Not in secret, but openly on social media. [U.K. Prime Minister Keir] Starmer needs to show some backbone and call this out today. We can’t turn a blind eye to this blatant interference any longer."
U.S. Under Secretary of State Sarah Rogers calmly reminded Davey that Starmer and other British liberals previously opined on the death of career criminal George Floyd. She also highlighted the markedly different response between those who took to the streets after Floyd's death and those who have done so to protest Nowak's death.
"Protesters mourning Nowak have not ignited infrastructure, murdered anyone, or otherwise cut an antisocial swathe of destruction through the UK," wrote Rogers. "To the extent any of them care what America thinks, we urge them to remain peaceful — and we expect they will. Just like Henry Nowak and just like Americans, ordinary Brits have been slandered as racist. Thus violent. They’re not."
On Friday, Vance underscored in a scathing message that Nowak's death was an indictment of Britain itself.
"Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit," wrote the American vice president. "His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it."
In a message sure to prickle Starmer and others who have been clutching pearls over Reform U.K. party leader Nigel Farage's recent call for "pure, cold rage" over the Nowak case, Vance noted further, "Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response — the only response — is righteous anger."
After emphasizing that the Trump administration has taken meaningful steps to stop the flow of mass migration and defend American sovereignty, Vance noted, "It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody — nobody — should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul."

Why America’s enemies always target Western civilization first
Radical progressives love to say the United States has no culture of its own — only whatever happens to be popular at the moment. If America amounts to little more than a consumer brand, then why do so many anti-American activists talk less about tweaking our politics and more about erasing Western civilization altogether?
America isn’t distilled water. It carries a civilizational inheritance. That fact explains why the people who hate the American project so often hate Western civilization writ large.
A country can’t treat open hostility to its civilizational foundations as harmless expression while expecting those foundations to survive.
A case in point: Mahmoud Khalil, the pro-Palestinian activist and apologist for Islamic jihad who led a coalition at Columbia University called Columbia University Apartheid Divest. The group’s stated goal is the “total eradication of Western civilization.” That goal raises the obvious question: Why the West? Why not simply “America”?
Because, for many activists in this mold, America represents the West at full strength — the most successful expression of the Western tradition.
America as the West’s culmination
In “The Roots of American Order,” Russell Kirk argued that the United States fused traditions from key centers of Western thought and life: Jerusalem gave us a Judeo-Christian moral order and the idea of covenant under God. Athens bequeathed reasoned inquiry and ordered thought. Rome passed down republican government and the rule of law. London developed parliamentary practice and secure property rights under the common law.
In Philadelphia, America’s founders combined those inheritances into a constitutional republic built around Judeo-Christian concepts of contract, incorporation, property, and ordered liberty. Put simply, America did not emerge from nothing. It grew out of a specific civilizational soil.
Why the West wins — and gets blamed
Many non-Western societies struggle under political and economic systems that concentrate power, block opportunity, and punish initiative. When institutions work well in those places, they often resemble Western inheritances: stable law, predictable property rights, accountable governance.
Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson, the authors of “Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty,” summarized the phenomenon in more politically correct terms, arguing:
Nations fail primarily because of extractive political and economic institutions that concentrate power and wealth in the hands of a few elites, stifling innovation, incentives, and broad-based economic growth. Unlike inclusive systems that foster prosperity, extractive regimes discourage investment and education, creating a "vicious cycle" of poverty and political instability.
That reality should invite honesty. Instead, it often produces resentment.
Under the reigning narrative, Western culture becomes “colonization,” “genocide,” and “taking” — a catch-all scapegoat for failures at home. That story also ignores inconvenient facts, including that Western colonialism had a relatively brief modern run and that many Western countries ultimately divested themselves of empires while insisting — at least in principle — on freedom and sovereignty.
So the West gets blamed for the world’s troubles, while the West remains the place millions still want to move to.
RELATED: What will replace the old world order?
Importing anti-Western radicalism
That leaves America with a growing problem: activists and migrants who embrace America’s freedoms while rejecting the civilization that produced them.
The Trump administration sought to remove Khalil, arguing that his presence created “adverse foreign policy consequences.” An activist judge later ordered his release from detention, and the useful idiot New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) publicly celebrated him at Gracie Mansion.
Whatever one thinks of that specific case, the larger principle holds: A country can’t treat open hostility to its civilizational foundations as harmless expression while expecting those foundations to survive.
A nation that loses confidence in its roots will not protect them — and a nation that refuses to protect them will not keep them.
If the United States wants to survive beyond President Trump’s current term, it needs to recover a healthy pride in its Western inheritance and shape immigration policy with that reality in mind. A society that invites people who openly seek its destruction invites its own decline.
'Lawless activism': Foreign-born Biden judge strikes again, protects Haitians from removal
U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes — a foreign-born, Biden-appointed, lesbian judge who previously worked as a lawyer to fight the first Trump administration's immigration policy and helped the U.N. secure asylum for so-called refugees — obliged her fellow immigration activists on Monday, blocking the revocation of Haiti's Temporary Protected Status.
That status, which Haitian migrants have enjoyed since January 2010 and over 352,000 Haitian migrants enjoy today, was set to expire on Tuesday. Without Reyes' intervention, the Trump administration would have been able to immediately repatriate many of those Haitians who have strained citizen resources and displaced American labor in cities such as Springfield, Ohio.
'Temporary means temporary.'
Reyes, a Uruguayan native, claimed, however, that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem not only violated the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment's due process clause when terminating the TPS designation for Haiti but had likely done so "because of hostility to nonwhite immigrants."
Much of Reyes' Monday ruling in the class-action lawsuit reads like a piece of immigration activist agitprop.
In addition to characterizing Haitian TPS holders as valuable contributors to American society and some class members' removal back to Haiti as "devastating because they have no meaningful ties to the country," Reyes questioned why it was necessary to let the status expire now:
Secretary Noem complains of strains unlawful immigrants place on our immigration-enforcement system. Her answer? Turn 352,959 lawful immigrants into unlawful immigrants overnight. She complains of strains to our economy. Her answer? Turn employed lawful immigrants who contribute billions in taxes into the legally unemployable. She complains of strains to our health care system. Her answer? Turn the insured into the uninsured. This approach is many things — in the public interest is not one of them.
The foreign-born judge suggested further that while the Trump administration "contends that, at most, the harms to Haitian TPS holders are speculative," the State Department has issued travel advisories to Americans warning of the threats of kidnapping, crime, and civil unrest in the third-world nation.

Photo by REBECCA NOBLE/AFP via Getty Images Noem determined last year after reviewing country conditions and consulting with the appropriate government agencies that the island nation no longer met the conditions for a TPS designation.
Reyes, the same judge who tried unsuccessfully last year to torpedo the War Department's ban on transvestites in the military, makes no secret of her animus toward the American-born DHS secretary throughout her ruling, using her conclusion, for instance, to cast Noem as a cold-hearted ignoramus.
"Secretary Noem, the record to-date shows, does not have the facts on her side — or at least has ignored them," wrote the Biden judge. "Does not have the law on her side — or at least has ignored it."
Reyes' fellow activists celebrated her ruling.
"This was the right decision. There is no evidence that the Trump administration took the time to make a clear-eyed assessment of the risks these families would face back in Haiti before moving to revoke TPS," Carol Rose, executive director of the ACLU of Massachusetts, said in a statement obtained by GBH News. "On the contrary, the revocation appears to have been driven by racial animus and political ideology."
"We can breathe for a little bit," Rose-Thamar Joseph, operations director of the Haitian Support Center in migrant-overwhelmed Springfield, Ohio, told the Associated Press.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in response to the ruling, "Supreme Court, here we come."
"This is lawless activism that we will be vindicated on," continued McLaughlin. "Haiti’s TPS was granted following an earthquake that took place over 15 years ago, it was never intended to be a de facto amnesty program, yet that’s how previous administrations have used it for decades."
"Temporary means temporary, and the final word will not be from an activist judge legislating from the bench," added McLaughlin.

Trump administration halts visas for 75 nations whose people gobble up American welfare
The Trump administration delivered some bad news on Wednesday to would-be migrants from the third world hoping to exploit American beneficence.
The U.S. State Department announced that it is pausing immigrant visa processing from 75 countries "whose migrants take welfare from the American people at unacceptable rates." The pause will apparently remain in effect until "the U.S. can ensure that new immigrants will not extract wealth from the American people."
'Pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the US system to fully recover.'
"The pause impacts dozens of countries — including Somalia, Haiti, Iran, and Eritrea — whose immigrants often become public charges on the United States upon arrival," said the department.
The Center for Immigration Studies indicated in a report last month than in Minnesota, approximately 54% of Somali-headed households received food stamps and 73% of Somali households had at least one member on Medicaid. By way of comparison, the figures for native households were 7% and 18%, respectively.
The report noted further that 89% of Somali households with children received some form of welfare in the Gopher State.
President Donald Trump recently referred to these statistics on Truth Social and highlighted statistics regarding the high welfare participation rates of other immigrant communities.
On Jan. 4, Trump shared a graph titled "Immigrant Welfare Recipient Rates by Country of Origin," which provided damning insights into the apparent overreliance of various immigrant communities on the generosity of the American taxpayer.
The chart indicated, for example, that the the percentage of immigrant households from Bhutan that received assistance was 81.4%; Yemen was 75.2%; Somalia was 71.9%; the Marshall Islands was 71.4%; the Dominican Republic was 68.1%; Afghanistan was 68.1%; Congo was 66%; and Iraq was 60.7%.
Trump vowed on Nov. 27 to "end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country" and to "permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the US system to fully recover."
The visa processing pause will go into effect on Jan. 21.
It will reportedly also impact the following countries: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belize, Bhutan, Bosnia, Brazil, Burma, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Colombia, Cote d’Ivoire, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Dominica, Egypt, Ethiopia, Fiji, Gambia, Georgia, Ghana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guinea, Iraq, Jamaica, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Nepal, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan, Republic of the Congo, Russia, Rwanda, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Thailand, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, and Yemen.
"We are working to ensure the generosity of the American people will no longer be abused," said the State Department.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, the Massachusetts-based Obama judge who blocked the Trump administration from cutting federal funds to Planned Parenthood last month, issued a temporary restraining order on Saturday preventing the Department of Homeland Security from revoking the legal status of tens of thousands of foreigners.
The Trump administration announced last month that it was terminating all categorical family reunification parole programs and corresponding work authorization for aliens from Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, and Honduras as well as for their immediate family members, effective Dec. 15.
Per the announcement, the "temporary parole period of aliens who have been paroled into the United States under the FRP programs, and whose initial period of parole has not already expired by January 14, 2026 will terminate on that date."
'We aren't in the clear.'
There are two circumstances under which foreign nationals' parole status would not immediately be revoked: if they have pending applications to register permanent residence or adjust status, or if DHS Secretary Kristi Noem determines otherwise on a case-by-case basis.
The DHS indicated that those set to be stripped of status — well over 10,000 noncitizens — who stay in the U.S. beyond their parole termination date with no lawful basis to remain would likely be removed.
According to the notice in the Federal Register, the FRP programs failed to achieve the goals set by past administrations and are at odds with President Donald Trump's current priorities and foreign policy objectives.

Not only did the programs fail to sufficiently discourage or reduce unlawful migration, the programs "increased administrative strain across multiple [U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services] directorates and [Customs and Border Protection] ports of entry," said the notice.
"The desire to reunite families does not overcome the government's responsibility to prevent fraud and abuse and to uphold national security and public safety," the DHS said in a release.
"The FRP programs had security gaps caused by insufficient vetting that malicious and fraudulent actors could exploit to enter the United States, which posed an unacceptable level of risk to the United States," continued the release. "DHS is prioritizing the safety, security, and financial and economic well-being of Americans."
The Trump administration touted the move as a "necessary return to common-sense policies" and a matter of "prioritizing the safety, security, and financial and economic well-being of Americans."
On Dec. 29, plaintiffs in the class-action case Svitlana Doe v. Noem — represented by the liberal migrant advocacy groups Justice Action Center and Human Rights First — requested a restraining order and a preliminary injunction, claiming the DHS "fell well short of satisfying their most basic obligations under the [Administrative Procedures Act], due process, the parole statute, and its own regulations."
The plaintiffs' primary contention in the emergency motion appears to have been that the DHS allegedly failed to properly notify the so-called "future green card holders" of the programs' termination.
The government argued in response that the court lacked jurisdiction over claims challenging parole termination; that the termination of parole wasn't arbitrary and capricious as alleged; that Noem was within her statutory authority to make the change; and that the notice given complied with the law.
Indira Talwani, the daughter of immigrants from India and Germany, gave the migrant activists exactly what they wanted — a 14-day stay of the administration's termination of FRP grants of parole — and certified a new subclass of migrants, namely those FRP beneficiaries whose parole was terminated.
While the government previously indicated that individual notice would be provided to each parolee through their USCIS online accounts, Talwani expressed doubt about whether the parolees were ultimately provided with written notice of the termination and claimed that the publication of the announcement in the Federal Register "does not satisfy this requirement."
"The court finds that Plaintiffs have a substantial likelihood of success on their argument that the Defendants failed to provide proper notice of DHS's decision to revoke grants of parole under the FRP program in contravention of DHS’s own regulation, the Administrative Procedure Act ... and the Due Process Clause of the United States Constitution," wrote the Obama judge.
Karen Tumlin, director of Justice Action Center, celebrated Talwani's ruling, stating, "We join families across the country in breathing a huge sigh of relief. While we aren't in the clear, this immediate pause on de-legalizing individuals who came here with Family Reunification Parole means that people will not be forced to separate from their loved ones next week."
Tumlin added that it's "cruel and completely unnecessary for the Trump administration to try to yank the rug out from under them."
The White House and the Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.
Despite drawing out the process, Talwani has acknowledged that the Trump administration can end the program.
The Supreme Court lifted her previous injunction in Svitlana Doe v. Noem on May 30, clearing the DHS to proceed with terminating humanitarian parole.
