ICE Opens First New Detention Center Under Trump, in Blue State Sanctuary City.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently declared that the Delaney Hall facility in Newark, New Jersey, will soon reopen. This processing and detention center, which can hold up to 1,000 individuals, will be the first new facility to open under President Donald J. Trump’s second administration, according to acting ICE Director Caleb Vitello.

The strategically located facility, near an international airport in a Democrat-run sanctuary city, is intended to accelerate the processing and deportation of illegal aliens. The reopening is part of a broader effort to enhance ICE’s capabilities in the Northeast, addressing the increasing demands of enforcement actions in the region.

Interior ICE arrests have surged compared to the Biden-Harris government. Between January 20 and February 8, 2025, ICE made 11,791 arrests, compared to 4,969 arrests in the equivalent period in 2024—a 137 percent increase. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem reports that more than 20,000 illegals have been detained within a single month under the present administration.

Recent policy shifts have removed many restrictions previously placed on ICE. Additionally, the administration is negotiating with other countries to accept deportees and bolster their border security. Guatemala has agreed to take deportees from third countries, and El Salvador has agreed to host foreign criminals—and potentially some U.S. citizens—in its CECOT super-prison.

Trump Admin Backs Condemnation of Israel’s Qatar Strike at UN Security Council.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) condemned an Israeli strike on a residential compound in Doha, Qatar, targeting senior Hamas members.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Israel, Hamas, the United Nations Security Council, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, and U.S. officials.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The strike occurred in Doha, Qatar, with an emergency meeting convened in New York at the United Nations (UN) headquarters.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Israel, led by blusterous extremists, has gone beyond any borders, any limitations when it comes to behaviour.” – Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani.

🎯IMPACT: The statement marks a rare unanimous decision by the Security Council, including U.S. backing, and raises questions about fraying U.S.-Israel relations.

IN FULL

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) unanimously condemned an Israeli strike on a residential compound in Doha, Qatar that targeted senior Hamas figures. The council’s statement—supported by all 15 members, including the United States, did not explicitly name Israel, but made clear its objections to the strike.

In an emergency session, Qatar’s Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al‑Thani said, “Israel, led by blusterous extremists, has gone beyond any borders, any limitations when it comes to behaviour. We are unable to predict what Israel will do.” He warned the assault forced the international community “before a test.”

Israel’s envoy, Danny Danon, defended the bombing. saying, “This strike sends a message that should echo across this chamber. There is no sanctuary for terrorists, not in Gaza, not in Tehran, not in Doha.”

Hamas reported that its negotiating team survived the strike but said five people were killed, including the son of its chief negotiator, Khalil al‑Hayya. A Qatari security officer was also among the dead.

President Donald J. Trump criticized the attack, saying, “Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a sovereign nation and close ally of the United States, that is working very hard, and bravely taking risks with us to broker peace, does not advance Israel or America’s goals.”

Notably, Qatar hosts a large U.S. military base, and recently struck a trade and investment deal with President Trump, with many suggesting that Israel conducting such a strike on the Gulf state’s capital regardless undermines American interests.

State Legislature Approves Trump-Endorsed GOP Redistricting Plan.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Missouri state legislature passed a redistricting plan that could add another Republican-leaning House seat.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Missouri lawmakers, Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe, President Donald J. Trump, and Missouri Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The plan was passed on Friday in Missouri and awaits the governor’s signature.

💬KEY QUOTE: “A new, much fairer, and much improved, Congressional Map, has now overwhelmingly passed both Chambers of the Missouri Legislature.” – Donald Trump

🎯IMPACT: The new map could shift Missouri to seven Republican-leaning districts and one Democratic-leaning district, potentially strengthening the GOP in the House of Representatives.

IN FULL

Missouri lawmakers have approved a new congressional redistricting plan that could shift the state’s political arithmetic further in favor of Republicans. The state senate passed the plan on Friday, sending it to Republican Governor Mike Kehoe, who has already signaled his intention to sign it into law. The state house had approved the measure earlier in the week.

The newly drawn map would divide the Kansas City area in a way that makes Democratic Representative Emanuel Cleaver’s district more conservative-leaning. If enacted, the changes would alter Missouri’s congressional makeup from the current six Republican-leaning and two Democrat-leaning districts to a seven-to-one split.

President Donald J. Trump has endorsed the Missouri plan, applauding lawmakers on Truth Social. He wrote that the new map “will, hopefully, give us an additional Seat in Congress” and help send another “MAGA Republican to Congress.”

“A new, much fairer, and much improved, Congressional Map, has now overwhelmingly passed both Chambers of the Missouri Legislature,” he added.

Missouri’s redistricting push follows similar efforts in other key states. In Texas, Republican Governor Greg Abbott recently signed a bill that increases the number of GOP-leaning districts from 25 to 30 out of 38, cutting five Democratic-leaning seats in the process. In California, Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom has proposed shifting redistricting powers away from the state’s independent commission and placing them under legislative control in retaliation for the Texan redistricting move.

However, Newsom’s scheme has been met with public backlash, with a recent poll showing nearly two-thirds of Californians oppose it.

Secret Service Agent Suspended for Cheering Charlie Kirk’s Assassination.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A Secret Service agent has reportedly been suspended after mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk,

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Charlie Kirk, Agent Anthony Pough, and the U.S. Secret Service (USSS).

📍WHEN & WHERE: Plough made his comments on September 10; he was reportedly suspended on September 12.

💬KEY QUOTE: “[I]f you are Mourning this guy .. [sic] delete me. He spewed hatred and racism on his show.” – Anthony Pough

🎯IMPACT: Pough is just one of many people losing their jobs as a result of glorifying the death of Kirk on social media.

IN FULL

A U.S. Secret Service (USSS) agent has been suspended and may soon be fired after mocking the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed on September 10. Pough had blamed “karma” for Kirk’s murder saying, “[I]f you are Mourning this guy .. [sic] delete me. He spewed hatred and racism on his show.”

Pough added, “At the end of the day, you answer to GOD and speak things into existence. You can only circumvent karma, she doesn’t leave.”

He also had a history of opposing Trump administration initiatives, including the ban on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, saying, “DEI stops NEPOTISM.”

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination at Utah Valley University, several public figures have faced backlash for comments accused of mocking or minimizing his death. A video emerged showing Representative Ilhan Omar (D‑MN) and former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan laughing as they criticized Kirk’s past statements immediately following his killing.

Meanwhile, MSNBC terminated political analyst Matthew Dowd after he appeared to suggest that Kirk had, through his political style and rhetoric, invited “hateful action” against himself. Dowd later apologized, stating he never intended to imply Kirk was to blame for his murder.

The Pentagon has issued a “zero tolerance” directive for military personnel and Department of War civilians, warning that any celebration or mockery of Kirk’s assassination is strictly forbidden.

Ally of UK PM Refuses to Expel Oxford Union Prez Who Celebrated Charlie Kirk Assassination.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: University College, Oxford, has decided not to expel George Abaraonye, the incoming president of the Oxford Union, despite his celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: George Abaraonye, the Oxford Union, and Valerie Amos, the Master of University College, Oxford, a member of the House of Lords for Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party.

📍WHEN & WHERE: September 12, at University College, Oxford.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Though Mr Abaraonye’s comments are abhorrent, they do not contravene the College’s policies on free speech, or any other relevant policy.” – Valerie Amos

🎯IMPACT: No disciplinary action will be taken against Abaraonye, maintaining his position at the Oxford Union.

IN FULL

University College, Oxford, has decided not to expel George Abaraonye, the incoming president of the Oxford Union, despite his celebration of the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. Valerie Amos, Master of University College and a member of the House of Lords representing Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, confirmed in a statement that while his remarks were “abhorrent,” they did not breach the College’s free speech policies, and therefore no disciplinary action will be taken.

Notably, Britain does not have American-style free speech rights, and people can be prosecuted and even imprisoned for sending “grossly offensive” messages, such as George Floyd memes, in private chats.

Leaked group‑chat messages show Abaraonye sending messages such as “Charlie Kirk got shot, let’s f**king go” alongside a prayer‑hands emoji, shortly after news spread of Kirk being shot at a Utah Valley University event.

Kirk and Abaraonye had engaged in debate just months prior at an Oxford Union event in May, where they discussed issues including “toxic masculinity.”

Abaraonye has since issued a public apology, saying his reaction was impulsive, that the comments were made before Kirk was confirmed deceased, and that he deleted them once he learned of his passing. However, he still defended himself by pointing to what he saw as the harm caused by some of Kirk’s rhetoric.

State Dept Bars Entry to Foreigners Glorifying Violence, Hatred After Kirk Assassination.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The State Department says it will take action against foreign visa holders and visa applicants who “glorify violence and hatred” in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, alleged assassin Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old Utah resident, foreign visa holders and applicants, and U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The assassination occurred on Wednesday at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, with the State Department visa warning issued on Thursday, September 11, 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country,” said Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau.

🎯IMPACT: The U.S. State Department has directed consular officials to take appropriate action against foreigners praising or rationalizing the event.

IN FULL

The State Department has issued a strong statement to those seeking immigrant visas following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, warning that “foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome” in the United States.

Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau addressed the matter in a Thursday post on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “In light of yesterday’s horrific assassination of a leading political figure, I want to underscore that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country.”

He further added, “I have been disgusted to see some on social media praising, rationalizing, or making light of the event, and have directed our consular officials to undertake appropriate action. Please feel free to bring such comments by foreigners to my attention so that the [State Department] can protect the American people.”

The politically-motivated assassination occurred on Wednesday at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, where 22-year-old Tyler Robinson allegedly shot Kirk from approximately 200 yards away using a high-powered rifle. Kirk, 31, was transported to a hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

President Donald J. Trump announced early Friday morning that Robinson had been taken into custody by law enforcement. The 22-year-old will be arraigned in a Utah court next Tuesday. He is set to face charges of aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, and felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury.

Stephen King Issues Tepid Apology for False Claim Charlie Kirk ‘Advocated Stoning Gays to Death.’

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Stephen King weakly apologized after falsely claiming that Charlie Kirk advocated stoning homosexuals to death.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Stephen King, Charlie Kirk, and commentators.

📍WHEN & WHERE: King’s false claim circulated on social media on Thursday following Kirk’s assassination at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, with King issuing an apology on Friday morning.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I apologize for saying Charlie Kirk advocated stoning gays. What he actually demonstrated was how some people cherry-pick Biblical passages.” – Stephen King

🎯IMPACT: The apology came after significant backlash, with evidence presented contradicting King’s claim.

IN FULL

Author and leftist social media commentator Stephen King was forced to apologize and delete a post on X (formerly Twitter) in which he falsely claimed that assassinated Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk had advocated killing homosexuals. “He advocated stoning gays to death. Just sayin,” King wrote in a post on Thursday, justifying Kirk’s assassination.

However, multiple X users responded to King’s post, noting Kirk never advocated for such a thing, and while the conservative organizer declared that he believed in biblical marriage between one man and one woman, he also welcomed members of the gay community into his conservative movement.

“Hey [Stephen King], you are more monstrous than any of the characters you ever came up with. Charlie was never anything but kind to me and my husband,” Dave Rubin, a prominent gay right-winger, wrote in response to King.

Others pointed to past statements by Kirk, including a November 2019 post on X: “I believe marriage is one man one woman. Also gay people should be welcome in the conservative movement. As Christians we are called to love everyone. I will always stand against people who wish to establish their own personal values as a reason to kick others out of the movement.”

Following the pushback, King, who infamously included a child orgy in a sewer in his novel It, deleted his post, writing, “I apologize for saying Charlie Kirk advocated stoning gays. What he actually demonstrated was how some people cherry-pick Biblical passages.”

The National Pulse reported last November that, following President Donald J. Trump’s landslide election victory, King had vowed to leave X. “I’m leaving Twitter. Tried to stay, but the atmosphere has just become too toxic,” King declared, adding: “Follow me on Threads, if you like.” King’s hiatus was brief, however, with the author returning to X on February 20, 2025.

IN FULL

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported that a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer fatally shot an illegal immigrant suspect in Franklin Park, Illinois, on Friday. The illegal immigrant, who had a history of reckless driving, attempted to evade arrest by driving his car at the officers, striking and dragging one of them.

According to DHS, the officer opened fire after feeling his life was in danger. Both the officer and the illegal immigrant were transported to a local hospital, where the suspect was pronounced dead.

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated, “We are praying for the speedy recovery of our law enforcement officer. He followed his training, used appropriate force, and properly enforced the law to protect the public and law enforcement.”

The incident occurred during ICE’s “Midway Blitz,” an immigration enforcement operation in Chicago. McLaughlin also highlighted the challenges officers face, citing “viral social media videos and activists encouraging illegal aliens to resist law enforcement” as increasing risks for ICE personnel.

Judge Forced to Cut Off Ryan Routh’s Bizarre Opening Statement in Trump Assassination Trial.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Ryan Routh, the man accused of attempting to assassinate Donald J. Trump during a golf outing in Florida last year, forfeited his right to continue his opening statement during his trial after veering off topic to discuss Adolf Hitler and global conflicts.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Ryan Routh, the defendant, is representing himself in the trial presided over by U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon. Secret Service agents, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents, and a civilian witness also testified.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The trial began on September 11, 2025, in Fort Pierce, Florida, following the alleged assassination attempt on September 15, 2024, at Trump’s West Palm Beach country club.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I gave you one more chance and you continued to read what has no relevance for this case,” said Judge Aileen Cannon to Routh during his opening statement.

🎯IMPACT: Routh has pleaded not guilty to charges including attempted assassination of a presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer, and firearm violations. The proceedings are expected to continue for several weeks.

IN FULL

Ryan Routh, a 59-year-old defendant accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald J. Trump, forfeited his right to continue his opening statement during his trial in Fort Pierce, Florida, after veering bizarrely off topic. U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon warned Routh multiple times to stay relevant, ultimately stopping him after he discussed Adolf Hitler and conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza.

“I gave you one more chance and you continued to read what has no relevance for this case,” Judge Cannon said, cutting off Routh’s remarks.

Prosecutors allege that Routh meticulously planned the attack, aiming a rifle at Trump as he played golf on September 15, 2024, at his West Palm Beach country club. A Secret Service agent spotted Routh before he could fire and shot at him, causing him to drop his weapon and flee. Assistant U.S. Attorney John Shipley described the plot as “carefully crafted and deadly serious.”

During the initial stage of the trial on Thursday, five witnesses testified, including two Secret Service agents, two Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents, and a civilian named Tommy McGee. McGee recounted following Routh after the incident to record his license plate, unaware that Trump was the intended target. Secret Service Agent Robert Fercano testified that he was just five feet away from Routh when he spotted the rifle aimed from the bushes.

Routh, who is representing himself, asked only a few questions during cross-examinations, often referring to himself in the third person. When he asked Agent Fercano if he had been harmed, the agent replied, “I wasn’t physically harmed, but I was mentally harmed from you pointing a gun at me.”

Routh has pleaded not guilty to charges including attempted assassination of a presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer, and firearm violations. The proceedings are expected to continue for several weeks.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Kirk was assassinated on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah; Robinson will be formally charged in a Utah court next Tuesday.

🎯IMPACT: Utah Governor Spencer Cox (R) has announced that state officials are moving to pursue the death penalty for Robinson.

IN FULL

Tyler Robinson, arrested in connection with the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, will be arraigned in a Utah court next Tuesday. He is set to face charges of aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, and felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury.

According to a probable cause statement, the Utah County Sheriff’s Office detailed extensive evidence against Robinson. The statement explained that information was gathered from police officers, multiple video recordings, campus surveillance cameras, and eyewitness accounts.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk occurred on September 10, 2025, when Kirk was speaking at a political event in the courtyard area of Utah Valley University. While addressing the crowd, Kirk was shot in the neck and later pronounced deceased at Timpanogos Regional Hospital.

Surveillance footage revealed a suspect, identified as a white male with dark hair, wearing a black shirt with an American flag and eagle design, dark jeans, and Converse-style shoes. The suspect was seen moving through the campus and eventually positioning himself on the rooftop of the Losee Center building, where he assumed a prone shooting position overlooking the event.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox (R) has stated that the state will seek the death penalty in this case. Investigators continue to review evidence as the case develops.

Dem Rep. Crockett Dismisses Woman Murdered by Illegal as ‘Random Dead Person.’

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) dismissed Kayla Hamilton, a young woman murdered by an MS-13 illegal immigrant, as a “random dead person” during a House Judiciary Committee markup on a bill named in Hamilton’s honor.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, Congressman Russell Fry (R-SC), Kayla Hamilton, and her family.

📍WHEN & WHERE: During a House Judiciary Committee markup session.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Stop just throwing a random dead person’s name on something for your own political expediency.” – Jasmine Crockett

🎯IMPACT: Crockett’s comments sparked backlash, with Congressman Fry calling them “disgusting rhetoric” and demanding an apology to Kayla Hamilton’s family.

IN FULL

During a House Judiciary Committee markup session, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) dismissed Kayla Hamilton, a young woman murdered by an MS-13 illegal immigrant, as a “random dead person.” The comments came in response to a bill, the Kayla Hamilton Act, named in honor of the victim.

Kayla Hamilton, 20, was sexually assaulted and strangled to death by Walter Javier Martinez, a 17-year-old migrant who entered the U.S. under Unaccompanied Alien Child (UAC) status. Martinez was sentenced to 70 years in prison earlier this year.

Crockett criticized the naming of legislation after victims, complaining, “Stop just throwing a random dead person’s name on something for your own political expediency.” She further accused Republicans of exploiting killings by migrants for political purposes, claiming, “Y’all find one terrible situation that took place, and then you say that person’s name, and you wear it out, and you make it political.”

Congressman Russell Fry (R-SC), the sponsor of the Kayla Hamilton Act, condemned Crockett’s remarks, stating, “To dismiss her life so callously is not only disgusting rhetoric, it’s shameful behavior. Let me be clear: Kayla Hamilton was not just a random person. She was a young woman with a family and a future.” Fry called for a public apology from Crockett to Kayla’s family and other Americans affected by crimes committed by illegal immigrants.

The Kayla Hamilton Act would require the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to assess whether unaccompanied alien children pose a danger to themselves or their communities before being released. Kayla’s mother, Tammy Nobles, expressed support for the legislation, stating, “If that had happened in the case of Kayla’s murderer, authorities would have known he was an MS-13 gang member.”
