A Punjabi speaker named Kulvinder Ram has appeared in aLondon courtroom, charged with slashing the throat of a two-year-old boy and cutting the face of an eight-year-old girl from mouth to ear. The 48-year-old faces three counts of attempted murder, having also injured a woman who tried to shield the children.
Ram appeared at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court on Friday night over the October 25 incident in Dagenham, East London, where fewer than 50 percent of residents were classified as White British in the 2021 census. District Judge Jonathan Moffatt has referred the case to the Crown Court, which has sufficient sentencing powers to deal with the charges.

London’s Metropolitan Police force says the suspect and his three victims were all known to each other but has not provided further details. The children and their mother are reportedly not in life-threatening condition.
Court reports have not disclosed Ram’s migration background, although Punjabi is spoken predominantly in India and Pakistan.
Former President Donald J. Trump has argued on several occasions that London and Paris, France, in particular, have become unrecognizable as a result of “opening [their] doors” to dangerous elements, telling supporters: “We can’t let that happen to our country.” London Mayor Sadiq Khan, of the governing Labour Party, is a regular sparring partner of the America First leader.
Ram is scheduled for a pre-trial preparation hearing on November 11.

📍 Where & When: O’Flynn questioned the Irish leader on June 11, following the revelations days earlier.
💬 Key Quote: “Some of these individuals may not be the vulnerable cases as often your government portrays. And yet, Gardaí were sent in and invited them to consider a career in Irish policing.” — Ken O’Flynn.
⚠️ Impact: The case is likely to greatly diminish trust in the Irish authorities amid growing unrest over rising mass migration.
IN FULL:
Police in Ireland have reportedly been trying to recruit new officers from asylum seeker homes full of illegal immigrants, although the country’s leader has denied authorizing the move. Ireland’s Taoiseach (Prime Minister), Micheál Martin, claimed he was surprised the Irish police, known as the Gardaí, have been trying to recruit in asylum homes.
Independent Ireland lawmaker Ken O’Flynn questioned the Irish leader over the allegations and demanded he explain why the Gardai were trying to recruit people who may have entered the country illegally, without passports or other documents. “Some of these individuals may not be the vulnerable cases as often your government portrays. And yet, Gardaí were sent in and invited them to consider a career in Irish policing,” O’Flynn said.
Taoiseach Martin claimed he was surprised by the recruitment drives, saying, “This is not government policy. But I will revert back to the deputy and ask for the communication to be sent to you. I’ll talk to the Minister of Justice in respect of this.”
Irish mediareports that the police have been recruiting from asylum centres, known in Ireland as International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) centers, since at least 2022. Garda Commissioner Drew Harris admitted that asylum seekers should not even be eligible to become police officers. However, those granted refugee status do qualify after having resided in Ireland for a certain number of years.
Ireland has been gripped by anti-mass migration sentiment as more and more asylum seekers have flooded into the small and relatively homogeneous country in recent years. In one case, the government wanted to settle hundreds of asylum seekers, most of them young men, in a town of just 165 people last year.
Mixed martial arts (MMA) superstar Conor McGregor has been a leading voice against mass migration in Ireland, calling on the public to actively “evaporate” properties that have been designated to house future migrant arrivals. McGregor is also looking to run for the Irish presidency, with a focus on halting mass migration into the country.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation reported that the plane issued a “Mayday” emergency signal before communication ceased. Heavy black smoke rose from the crash site just outside the airport perimeter. Emergency teams were swiftly deployed to the scene, though the cause of the crash remains under investigation.
According to unnamed sources cited by Reuters, the passenger manifest included 53 British nationals, 169 Indian nationals, seven Portuguese, and one Canadian.
Following the incident, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (SVPIA) announced the suspension of all flight operations. “As a result of the Air India plane crash incident, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (SVPIA), Ahmedabad, is currently not operational. All flight operations are temporarily suspended until further notice,” the airport stated, advising passengers to check with airlines for updates.
London Gatwick airport, the flight’s intended destination, confirmed the aircraft was scheduled to arrive at 6:25 PM local time. A statement on the social media platform X indicated that further information would be provided as details emerge.
Local media described plumes of smoke visible from Dharpur near the Meghaninagar area. Fire and emergency response teams were actively working on-site. The investigation into the crash is ongoing.

📍 Where & When: London, 2021 Census data.
💬 Key Quote: Robert Jenrick: “This research shows how the huge costs of mass, low-skilled migration are often hidden from the public.”
⚠️ Impact: $4.8 billion in taxpayer costs annually, 35 percent of foreign-born lead tenants in working-age groups are unemployed or economically inactive.
IN FULL:
Nearly half of London’s social housing (public housing) is occupied by foreigners, according to 2021 census data, imposing a significant financial burden on taxpayers. Office for National Statistics (ONS) data shows that 48 percent of lead tenants in London’s social housing were born overseas, compared to a national average of 19 percent.
The analysis highlights that 376,700 foreign-born lead tenants in London receive an average discount equivalent to around $15.9k annually compared to private rental costs, resulting in a total taxpayer cost exceeding $4.8 billion annually.
Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick, of the formerly governing Conservative Party, criticized the findings, stating, “This research shows how the huge costs of mass, low-skilled migration are often hidden from the public.” He added, “When you lift up the [hood], it’s clear that the level and composition of immigration have been hugely economically harmful for decades.”
Further analysis revealed that 68 percent of foreign-born lead tenants in London’s social housing hold British passports. This equates to 257,200 individuals who, while born abroad, have British citizenship.
The data also showed that 35 percent of working-age foreign-born lead tenants in London’s social housing are either unemployed or economically inactive despite living in one of Britain’s most productive regions. The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) previously reported that low-paid migrant workers cost taxpayers more than $202,000 each by retirement age, rising exponentially as they age.
Separate data from the English Housing Survey indicates ethnic disparities in social housing use, with 48 percent of Black Caribbean households and 40 percent of Bangladeshi households living in taxpayer-subsidized homes, compared to 16 percent of White British households.

💬 Key Quote: Alderman Raymond Lopez remarked, “Anyone else having 2020 flashbacks?” after sharing images of vandalized police cars.
⚠️ Impact: Traffic halted, bus services suspended, property damaged, and concerns raised about escalating unrest across major U.S. cities as illegal immigrants and their allies resist federal immigration enforcement.
IN FULL:
A protest against federal immigration enforcement spiraled into disorder on the night of June 10 in downtown Chicago, Illinois, as rioters clashed with police, obstructed traffic, and defaced property. The event, part of a campaign called “From LA to Chicago: ICE Out!” organized by far-left activists, drew hundreds to the streets.
Chicago police squad cars were targeted with graffiti, including profane messages, and images of the vandalism were shared online by Alderman Raymond Lopez of the 15th Ward, who commented, “Anyone else having 2020 flashbacks?” Even media vehicles were not spared, as rioters reportedly damaged property indiscriminately.
The Chicago Transit Authority was forced to suspend bus service across the downtown area due to rolling street closures caused by the demonstrations. Earlier in the day, around 100 protesters disrupted operations at the Chicago Immigration Court in the Loop.
The Chicago Police Department described the situation as “fluid and ongoing” and did not immediately provide details on arrests. This unrest follows violent riots centered in Los Angeles, California, over the weekend.
If necessary, the Trump administration is ready to deploy additional federal agents and National Guard units to cities experiencing similar unrest, as it did in LA.

📍 Where & When: Los Angeles, amid ongoing pro-illegal immigrant riots.
💬 Key Quote: “The Los Angeles rioters will not stop us or slow us down. And if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested Emiliano Garduno-Galvez, a previously deported illegal immigrant from Mexico, who allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement officers during violent riots in Los Angeles, California. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the arrest on June 11, stating that Garduno-Galvez now faces charges of attempted murder.
The riots in Los Angeles erupted following ICE raids conducted in the city last week. Protesters engaged in destructive activities, including setting vehicles ablaze, throwing projectiles at police, vandalizing property, and looting businesses. Rioters also targeted the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) headquarters downtown.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin condemned Garduno-Galvez, stating, “Emiliano Garduno-Galvez is a criminal illegal alien from Mexico who threatened the lives of federal law enforcement officers by attacking them with a Molotov cocktail during the violent riots in Los Angeles.” She added, “The Los Angeles rioters will not stop us or slow us down. And if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
According to DHS, Garduno-Galvez has a prior criminal record, including a 2024 arrest for grand theft near Anaheim and a DUI in Long Beach. He had been deported previously but returned illegally.
The riots in Los Angeles are part of a larger wave of demonstrations across the United States, with unrest reported in cities such as Asheville, North Carolina, and Chicago, Illinois. The riots are a response to ICE enforcement operations, which, according to DHS, have resulted in the arrest of “hundreds of illegal aliens,” many of whom have serious criminal convictions.
DHS highlighted the severity of the criminal records among those arrested, noting that suspects are accused of crimes ranging from robbery and child rape to second-degree murder. A statement from DHS described ICE officers as removing “the worst of the worst” from Los Angeles streets.
On June 9, 2025, ICE agents in Los Angeles arrested Emiliano Garduno-Galvez—an illegal alien from Mexico—for attempted murder after he threw a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement during the Los Angeles riots.

IN FULL:
A federal grand jury has returned a three-count indictment against Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) for allegedly obstructing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers during an incident at a detention center in Newark, New Jersey, last month.
The indictment, issued Tuesday in Newark, accuses McIver of forcibly interfering with ICE agents on May 9 as they attempted to arrest an illegal immigrant outside Delaney Hall detention center. The charges include allegations that McIver physically shoved and resisted federal officers and impeded their efforts.
🚨WATCH: US Congresswoman, LaMonica McIver (wearing a red blazer), storms the gate of Delaney Hall Detention Center ASSAULTING an ICE agent. pic.twitter.com/4Q1deds1tl
The incident occurred during what was described as a congressional oversight visit by McIver, alongside fellow Democrat New Jersey Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman and Robert Menendez Jr. Their visit coincided with a demonstration by open-borders activists outside the facility. According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), the situation escalated when Newark Mayor Ras Baraka (D) entered a restricted area of the detention center without authorization.
The DOJ states Baraka was warned multiple times to leave the secured area, but refused. When officers attempted to arrest him, McIver and others reportedly intervened, surrounding the mayor and physically preventing officers from applying handcuffs. The indictment further alleges McIver struck and restrained federal officers during their second attempt to arrest Baraka after he was escorted outside.
“As I have stated in the past, it is my Constitutional obligation as the Chief Federal Law Enforcement Officer for New Jersey to ensure that our federal partners are protected when executing their duties,” U.S. Attorney Alina Habba said. She added, “While people are free to express their views for or against particular policies, they must not do so in a manner that endangers law enforcement and the communities those officers serve.”
If convicted on all charges, McIver could face up to 17 years in federal prison.

❓What Happened: President Donald J. Trump’s attorneys are appealing his conviction in a so-called hush money case in New York, seeking to move it to federal court following last year’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.
👥 Who’s Involved: President Trump, Manhattan District Attorney (DA) Alvin Bragg, the U.S. Supreme Court, and a three-judge panel from the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

📍 Where & When: New York, with oral arguments occurring on Wednesday, June 11, 2025.
💬 Key Quote: “President Trump had good cause to pursue a post-trial removal for a simple reason: he could not have raised any of the arguments set forth herein until well after his trial began,” Trump’s attorneys stated.
⚠️ Impact: A successful appeal could overturn Trump’s conviction and potentially set new precedents for cases involving presidential immunity.
IN FULL:
President Donald J. Trump’s legal team is set to present arguments on Monday in an effort to move his state-level “hush money” conviction for supposedly falsifying business records to federal court. The appeal comes after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last July that presidents are immune from federal prosecution for certain official acts, although not for unofficial acts.
Trump’s attorneys argue that his conviction stems from actions tied to his official duties as President, making the case eligible for federal jurisdiction. The America First leader was convicted last year on 34 counts related to a 2016 payment made by his then-lawyer, Michael Cohen, to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing, asserting the case is politically motivated.
In January, just days before his inauguration, Trump received an unconditional discharge in the case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The sentence included no jail time, probation, or fines, but Trump remains a convicted felon under state law and cannot pardon himself in the matter.
Trump’s legal team is now leveraging the Supreme Court’s July decision to argue for a post-trial removal of the case to federal court. They claim the ruling provides “good cause” for the renewed appeal, as the decision was issued after Trump’s conviction in May. “President Trump had good cause to pursue a post-trial removal for a simple reason: he could not have raised any of the arguments set forth herein until well after his trial began,” his attorneys wrote in court filings.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed an amicus brief earlier this year in support of Trump’s effort, but Bragg’s office opposes the move. Prosecutors argue that the Supreme Court ruling does not apply in this case, accusing Trump of showing a “lack of diligence” by waiting two months after the decision to renew his efforts. They also contend that the unconditional discharge makes the appeal moot.
A ruling in Trump’s favor could overturn his conviction and reshape the legal landscape surrounding presidential immunity claims.

Lower Manhattan erupted into chaos Tuesday evening as a pro-illegal immigrant protest turned violent, leading to clashes between demonstrators and police near City Hall, Foley Square, and 26 Federal Plaza. The protest, initially planned as a rally against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, mirroring the violent demonstrations against immigration raids in Los Angeles, California, spiraled into disorder, prompting the New York City Police Department (NYPD) to enact a citywide level three mobilization.
Thousands of protesters filled the streets, chanting slogans such as “Brick by brick, wall by wall, this racist system has got to fall!” and “How do you spell racist? ICE!” Video footage shows agitators hurling objects, including metal barricades, at officers. Rioters also attempted to block federal vehicles suspected of transporting detainees, while pepper spray was deployed as police worked to regain control.
🚨 #BREAKING: Total CHAOS is unfolding outside of Federal Plaza in NYC, as anti-ICE rioters attempt to block ICE vans from moving
They’re ASSAULTlNG officers and destroying barricades, but NYPD isn’t tolerating it.
Over 80 arrests were made for disorderly conduct and related offenses, with law enforcement expecting the number to grow as reports are processed. Tensions escalated further as masked demonstrators repeatedly tried to breach police barricades, with some shouting obscenities and threats at officers.
Brooklyn Councilwoman Shahana Hanif and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams riled up the mob during the protest, sharply criticizing Mayor Eric Adams and federal immigration policies. Hanif accused Adams of “collaborating with Trump” and enabling ICE operations in the city, while Williams claimed the NYPD was allowing ICE to “kidnap” illegal aliens.
An NYPD source described the unrest as “coordinated and volatile,” noting that many protesters appeared prepared for confrontation. Clashes continued late into the night, with additional arrests reported outside City Hall and the federal courthouse.
The unrest in New York is part of a broader wave of anti-ICE demonstrations taking place in Democrat-controlled cities across the United States. Similar protests have been reported in Chicago, San Francisco, and Seattle. In Los Angeles County, pro-illegal immigrant riots have entered their fifth night, leading to citywide curfews and President Donald J. Trump deploying the National Guard and U.S. Marines, to the irritation of Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom.

📍 Where & When: The voluntary evacuation advisories were issued on Wednesday, June 11, 2025.
⚠️ Impact: While the move could be simply precautionary, tension in the region has increased in recent weeks, with mounting expectations that Israel will soon move to destroy alleged Iranian nuclear weapons sites.
IN FULL:
The United States government is authorizing the evacuation of all non-essential embassy personnel and dependents of U.S. military service members across the Middle East, amid heightened tensions with the Islamic Republic of Iran. While the exact reason for the evacuations is currently unclear, the Iranian government has stated it will strike U.S. and allied military assets across the region if they are attacked. This has led to rampant speculation that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may be on the precipice of approving a military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Rumors of potential military action were sparked early Wednesday by an advisory from the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operation (UKMTO) office. The advisory stated that vessels were to use caution when transiting the Straits of Hormuz, Gulf of Oman, and Arabian Gulf. The UKMTO office warned that increasing military tensions in the region justified the advisory.
This announcement was followed by a notice preparing for the evacuation of non-essential U.S. embassy personnel in Baghdad, Iraq, early Wednesday afternoon. Several hours later, advisories authorizing the evacuation of non-essential embassy personnel in Kuwait and Bahrain were also issued. Additionally, the U.S. naval base in Bahrain announced that dependents of U.S. military service members could evacuate the region as well.
Subsequently, the Associated Press (AP) reported that the voluntary evacuation authorization has been extended to dependents of U.S. military service members across the entire Middle East.

📍 Where & When: Downtown Los Angeles; curfew in effect from 8 PM to 6 AM, with arrests occurring Tuesday night.
💬 Key Quote: LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell: “If you are in the curfew zone during the restricted hours without a legal exemption, you will be arrested. If you assault an officer in any fashion, you will be arrested.”
⚠️ Impact: 197 arrests, deployment of National Guard troops, significant property damage, and tightened security measures in preparation for the World Cup.
IN FULL:
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) arrested 197 individuals Tuesday night after declaring an unlawful assembly in downtown Los Angeles, following days of escalating disorderly protests and rioting. The arrests occurred after multiple dispersal orders were issued, which many demonstrators ignored, according to the LAPD.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) announced a curfew covering a one-square-mile area of downtown Los Angeles, effective from 8 PM to 6 AM. Exceptions include residents, those traveling to or from work, and credentialed members of the press. The curfew is expected to remain in place for several days.
Bass attributed the unrest to “bad actors who are taking advantage of the President’s chaotic escalation,” in a statement posted on X. California Democrats regard President Donald J. Trump’s attempts to enforce federal immigration law against illegal aliens in the state as provocative.
Bass urged non-residents to avoid the area and warned that violators of the curfew would face arrest and prosecution. Bass also highlighted concerns over the city’s readiness for the World Cup, citing extensive graffiti and damage to businesses.
LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell confirmed that 130 arrests were made near Commercial Street and Alameda, with an additional 67 arrests after demonstrators blocked the 101 Freeway. Charges ranged from failure to disperse and looting to an attempted murder involving a Molotov cocktail.
“Let me be clear that this behavior of blocking freeways, city streets, and on-ramps, refusing to comply with lawful dispersal orders, and interfering with public safety operations is dangerous… and won’t be tolerated,” McDonnell stated.
The protests and riots have resulted in widespread property damage, including the destruction of 23 businesses and the torching of multiple vehicles. In response, President Trump has deployed approximately 2,100 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles, Paramount, and Compton. The America First leader has also ordered 700 U.S. Marines to help the National Guard protect federal property and personnel.
