NEW: Multiple federal law enforcement sources tell @FoxNews that the man who was shot and killed by an off-duty FBI agent in Chicago last night was a Venezuelan illegal alien who was seen shooting into a homeless encampment. Per sources, the FBI agent was driving alone when he saw 27-year-old OSCAR D. CORRALES shooting at people in the encampment, and the agent stopped and shot CORRALES, killing him.
Fox is told CORRALES was previously caught and released at the southern border by the Biden administration in October 2023, and he has a previous arrest in California in which he was released from custody with an ICE detainer ignored.

NEW: Multiple DHS sources confirm to @FoxNews that the suspect charged w/ murdering a Walmart manager in Philadelphia, PA on Wednesday is a Haitian illegal alien who flew into the U.S. via former President Biden's CHNV mass parole migrant flights program in 2023. Per sources, 23-year-old Destino Jean-Louis flew into the US on 11/24/2023 via Fort Lauderdale International Airport, and his legal status was revoked on 6/12/2025 after President Trump terminated the program.
According to investigators, Jean-Louis had previously been married to the victim he killed as part of an immigration-related sham marriage arrangement that was designed to help get him get a green card in the US. But after DHS denied the application in July, the victim, Latosha Cooper, withdrew the petition and cut off contact with him, and Jean-Louis became angry. He is accused of shooting Cooper in the head outside of the Walmart on Wednesday after finding out about her work schedule. He previously worked at the Walmart with her. The DA in Montgomery County, PA has now charged him with murder.

So many law-abiding Cultural Enrichment Officers being bullied by Drumpf:

ICE is pushing back heavily on this story from @WTOP. ICE says this "youth baseball coach" is a Venezuelan illegal alien who has a deportation order after his green card was revoked following immigration fraud proceedings and he also has a prior arrest for gun & drug offenses.

...
DHS statement to @FoxNews
:
"Thanks to these third-country agreements, we have been able to deport some of the worst criminal illegal aliens from the United States, including those who are so barbaric that even their home countries won't take them back, such as murderers, pedophiles, rapists, and drug traffickers," said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "For far too long, illegal aliens ordered removed by a judge have avoided deportation simply because DHS had no place to send them. Through engaging in fully legal third country removals, the days of avoiding deportation are over. We will continue to use every tool at our disposal to make America safe again. The Trump Administration will NEVER apologize for putting the American people first and deporting dangerous criminals from our country. America is no longer a safe haven for the world's criminals."

Meanwhile, the Islamist UK government continues promoting the most energetic of Cultural Enrichment Officers.

Yes. Capable of learning he can get away with attempted murder.
Note stories give no details on the stabbers. Just Regular Englishmen, eh?

NEW: ICE sources confirm to
@FoxNews that they've arrested two more Haitian illegal aliens accused of illegally collecting SNAP benefits in Ohio. Both have final deportation orders, and both were allowed into the country by the Biden admin, including via the CBP One cell phone app. Details per sources:

CLAIRINOR DUCLERC, arrested by ICE in Columbus, Ohio yesterday. He is a Haitian illegal alien who first entered the U.S. via the Biden era CBP One cell phone app at the San Ysidro port of entry in California on 3/29/2024. An immigration judge issued him a final deportation order on 1/20/2025 and he has an active bench warrant out of Franklin County, OH. He told agents he lives with his Haitian wife and their 1-year-old US citizen son in Ohio. Photo courtesy of ICE source. (left)

ICLES CERMOME, arrested by ICE in Westerville, Ohio on Monday. He was caught and released by Border Patrol during the Biden administration after crossing illegally into Brownsville, TX on 12/29/2023. An immigration judge issued him a final deportation order on 1/30/2024, roughly one month after he entered the U.S. illegally.

Making the rounds on X is a video of a black dude getting more and more angry at a bunch of cops standing calmy around him.

"Please step away from the knife."

He grabs the knife off the ground and lunges at the cop about 7 feet away, and damned near gets him, before the cop ever gets his gun out.

Other cops had theirs out and ... he dead.

You should watch it. Lots of lessons.

Mostly his personal finances, I would think.

Most of them would have to get someone else - Soros, their cartel, their gullible relatives - to foot the bill to reach a border again.

If you're doing it right, all the deportees are on a no-fly list and have "Do not admit" on their immigration database entry... assuming such a thing exists and is accessible by border guards.

But this is why we need The Wall (TM): to reduce possible unguarded entry points.

103 years ago, the world was using us as a dumping ground for their refuse. We were on the tail end of an 80 year process where the world had done that.

And then the 1924 Immigration Act was signed by Calvin Coolidge and we had effectively closed borders (there were small quotas to fill, but nothing else) for 60 years. And America didn't become a backwaters territory with no economy, for some reason.

In fact, we thrived through WWII and became the superpower of the planet.

It was easier. But it was still a massive challenge.

Little Italy wasn't a thing because Italians were integrating easily. Ethnic enclaves were common, and they spoke their own languages.

There were riots when some Italian Marxists were arrested, convicted, and executed by the US federal government by Italians in America. Vincenzi brothers? Something like that. Not looking it up.

And all the same arguments back and forth were happening in the late 19th century. "Jobs Americans won't do," was said about factory work.

It seems they're in "immigrant hotels" in unpaved suburbs guarded by armed Africans. Complaining about the language barrier, the lack of gainful employment, the strangeness of the land.

98 The term "Americanization" would likely cause today's airhead racist-totalitarians (er, "progressives") and even dumb suburban "liberals" to faint. Yet this was a key concept during the period of mass legal immigration/assimilation.

Along with that you had a mindset among most immigrants - not entirely absent today, esp. among east Asians of certain flavors - that their kids would be *Americans*, dammit. The tenement dad telling his kids no Ukrainian or Polish or whatever outside the home - that was for Sunday school. The east Asian immigrants voting en masse to end CA's idiotic "bilingual" "education" programs. As a friend at the time put it, these parents would be thinking "I f***ing swam to get here so my kids would be Americans, and you want to teach them Kmer??!!!".

Yeah, those two.

Ethnic solidarity meant that Italians had to march and riot for their freedom.

Immigration wasn't nice and orderly pre-1924. In fact, I keep thinking of the opening speech by the grieving father at the start of The Godfather about how much he loves America or the song America in West Side Story, and I can only conclude that they were agitprop designed to get America more comfortable with the new arrivals of a larger wave of immigrants in the post 60s Immigration Act world.

140 > Now do coal mining.

OK. Over 1,000 coal miners died per year from 1900 to 1945.

What's the point of asking me to do coal mining next? That factory work in the late 19th century was a better job than coal mining? All of those jobs suck. Sure, Americans will do them if they don't have much choice. If you were a kid in a coal miner town in the late 1800s, you probably thought anything other than mining was a pipe dream.

I'm not saying we should import people to do those jobs. But I can still plainly see those jobs are awful.

145 She was one of the very unlucky ones who get involved with a sham marriages. They're all over the place...all counties, many ethnic groups, educated and uneducated folk, and so on.

Investigators stated the shooting was a targeted ambush connected to an immigration-related sham marriage dispute between the two. She was 45 years old, a mother of three, and a grandmother.

Reportedly, following an official immigration interview, authorities flagged the marriage as fraudulent. Cooper subsequently withdrew her visa sponsorship petition in July 2026.

According to the arrest affidavit, Jean-Louis - age 23 - targeted her because he believed she "messed up his life" by canceling the sponsorship, and he claimed she owed him money.

Jean-Louis is young enough to create even more hell & havoc in his lifetime.

I hear this a lot here but I think it's more complicated. Rap is dead. There's this droning monotone they CALL rap but it's nothing like the rap of the nineties or early oughts. I'm fact there's such a hunger for real rap that they have "classic hip hop" radio stations that serve this need. It's like the feminization of culture is so great that it infected rap music.

====

OBBB tripled the size of ICE.

Border enforcement is less necessary than before, so Border Patrol is actually doing more work on the interior rounding up illegals than anything they're doing at the border.

287g agreements with local jurisdictions have exploded from about 150 to about 2800, meaning local cops who find illegals in their day to day arrest them on immigration charges and then hand them off to ICE.

This has been going on all year and from before (OBBB didn't take effect until January 2025).

There's a reason our population declined in 2025 for the first time since the 60s.
