Fox News: 'Not my job': Sheriff vows Las Vegas Police will not assist with Trump's illegal immigration 'roundups'
Sheriff Kevin McMahill of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department reaffirmed the agency's policy of not cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) regarding immigration violations.

McMahill stated that his officers will not assist in federal immigration "roundups" and will not delay the release of inmates for ICE. Critics, including former Trump border czar Tom Homan, argue that such policies endanger public safety by releasing individuals who may pose a threat to the community.

Front Page Magazine: Our Ivory Tower Enemies

The critique emphasizes that Hagtvet, despite his academic credentials, perpetuates tired narratives against Trump while avoiding serious discourse on pressing societal challenges. This perceived cowardice among Western elites is seen as detrimental to addressing the realities of Islamism and its impact on Europe.

The Telegraph: The US has taken the first step towards defeating one of Iran’s last allies
President Trump has redesignated Yemen's Houthi rebels as a terrorist organization, responding to their attacks in the Red Sea that threaten global trade. This move comes amid ongoing foreign policy challenges, including conflicts in Ukraine and tensions with China.
However, Trump's past reluctance to use military force raises questions about whether this designation will lead to concrete action.
