DHS Is Paving the Way for the Deportation of 500,000 Haitians.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and Haitian nationals currently under TPS.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Announced Friday, takes effect September 2.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This decision restores integrity in our immigration system and ensures that Temporary Protective Status is actually temporary.” – DHS spokesman

🎯IMPACT: More than 500,000 Haitians with TPS are affected and encouraged to use DHS resources to return to Haiti.

IN FULL

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Friday announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians, which will take effect on September 2. A notice from DHS stated that Secretary Kristi Noem had determined the situation in Haiti no longer justified the continuation of TPS for migrants from the country. The decision was based on an assessment that environmental conditions in Haiti had improved sufficiently for safe return.

“This decision restores integrity in our immigration system and ensures that Temporary Protective Status is actually temporary,” a DHS spokesman said, adding: “The environmental situation in Haiti has improved enough that it is safe for Haitian citizens to return home. We encourage these individuals to take advantage of the Department’s resources in returning to Haiti, which can be arranged through the CBP Home app. Haitian nationals may pursue lawful status through other immigration benefit requests, if eligible.”

Currently, more than 500,000 Haitians hold TPS. Consequently, Sec. Noem’s decision clears the way for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to begin deportations after the September deadline. In the meantime, DHS is encouraging Haitians impacted by the TPS determination to utilize existing resources for their return to Haiti.

Haitians granted TPS by the former Biden government became a point of political contention during the 2024 election. Large numbers of Haitian nationals were settled in small towns across the United States, resulting in cultural clashes, increased crime, and consternation among American citizens.

Afghan Mass Stabbing Suspect Is an Illegal Immigrant.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: An Afghan suspected of killing one and injuring two others in a mass stabbing in Britain reportedly entered the country illegally in the back of a truck in 2020.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: A 49-year-old man who died, a 14-year-old boy who was wounded, a 45-year-old man who suffered “life-changing” injuries, and a 22-year-old Afghan who was tasered and arrested.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The stabbings occurred on Monday, October 28, at Midhurst Gardens in Uxbridge, while the man entered Britain illegally in 2020.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This was a shocking and senseless act of violence that has left one man dead and two others injured.” – Chief Superintendent Jill Horsfall

🎯IMPACT: The local community is shaken, and a heavy police presence remains in the area as investigations continue.

IN FULL

The 22-year-old Afghan national arrested after a fatal triple stabbing in west London, England, that left one man dead and two others injured, including a 14-year-old boy, entered Britain illegally in the back of a truck, according to British authorities. The attack occurred on the evening of October 27 in Midhurst Gardens, Uxbridge, prompting a rapid response from emergency services.

British Police confirmed that a 49-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene despite efforts from paramedics. A 45-year-old man sustained “life-changing” injuries, and a 14-year-old boy was also wounded. Both were taken to a local hospital for treatment. The Afghan, who was tasered by police near the scene, was arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder. He was later taken to hospital as a precaution before being placed in custody.

Detectives said investigations into the motive and circumstances of the attack are ongoing. The British Home Office, roughly equivalent to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, said the Afghan had come to Britain illegally in the back of a semi-truck in 2020 but was granted asylum in 2022 despite his illegal entry. Trucks were a popular means of entering the United Kingdom for many years, although they have been largely replaced by small boats coming across the English Channel in recent years.

Police Chief Superintendent Jill Horsfall called the stabbing spree “a shocking and senseless act of violence that has left one man dead and two others injured,” and reassured the local community that a strong police presence would remain in place. She also told residents not to share footage of the incident online or listen to speculation regarding the motive on social media. “We ask that you rely on us for information,” she pleaded.

The killing has reignited public concern following a series of high-profile stabbings across Britain and Continental Europe involving migrants or people from migrant backgrounds. In January 2025, an Afghan migrant reportedly murdered two people, including a toddler, in a stabbing spree in Germany. In May, knife attacks attributed to migrants left eight people injured, among them an 11-year-old girl.

More recently, British police named Syrian migrant Jihad al-Shamie as the suspect in a terror attack on a Manchester synagogue that involved both a car-ramming and stabbing. In another case, a migrant went on trial in October for allegedly killing a worker at a hotel hosting migrants, again by stabbing.

Anti-Cartel Strikes Kill 14 as Trump Escalates War on Narco-Terrorists.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The U.S. has conducted three strikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats, killing at least 14 people and leaving one survivor.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: U.S. military forces, with War Secretary Pete Hegseth providing details.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The strikes occurred on Monday in the Pacific Ocean.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The U.S. military struck four vessels in known narco-trafficking routes,” said War Secretary Hegseth.

🎯IMPACT: The strikes bring the total death toll in the U.S. campaign against drug cartels to over 50.

IN FULL

The U.S. military conducted three additional strikes on drug‑smuggling vessels on Monday, killing at least 14 people and leaving only one survivor. War Secretary Pete Hegseth said the strikes targeted four boats in the Pacific Ocean, part of a broader campaign against narcotics trafficking. The latest operations bring the total death toll in the U.S. campaign against drug cartels to over 50.

Hegseth confirmed that since early September, the administration has carried out 13 strikes on 14 vessels along known narco‑trafficking routes. The Trump administration has declared an armed conflict with the cartels, labeling them “unlawful combatants” and citing the defense of the homeland as justification for the operations.

The campaign began with a series of targeted strikes on narco‑trafficking boats in the Caribbean and off the coast of Venezuela. On September 2, a U.S. strike killed 11 narco-terrorists aboard a Venezuelan vessel identified as members of the Tren de Aragua crime syndicate. In mid-September, another strike reportedly killed three people on a boat transporting narcotics in international waters. On October 3, Hegseth announced a strike off Venezuela that killed four. In late October, the campaign expanded into the Pacific, where two strikes killed five people near Marxist-led Colombia, opening a new front beyond the Caribbean.

The administration has so far maintained that all targets were confirmed as part of organized narcotics operations and that the use of lethal force was lawful under U.S. and international law.

Texas AG Paxton Sues Tylenol Maker for Not Warning Pregnant Women of Risks.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against the maker of Tylenol over claims the drug can cause autism in young children.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Ken Paxton, Johnson & Johnson, and law firm Keller Postman.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The lawsuit was filed this week in Texas.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Big Pharma betrayed America by profiting off of pain and pushing pills regardless of the risks. These corporations lied for decades, knowingly endangering millions to line their pockets.” – Ken Paxton

🎯IMPACT: The lawsuit marks the first of its kind from a state government and could have significant implications for pharmaceutical companies and consumer safety.

IN FULL

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) has filed a lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson, the maker of Tylenol, alleging that the company failed to warn consumers that acetaminophen (paracetamol), the drug’s active ingredient, could increase the risk of autism in children when taken during pregnancy. This marks the first time a U.S. state government has brought such a case against the pharmaceutical giant.

Paxton framed the lawsuit as part of his broader effort to hold major drug manufacturers accountable, saying, “Big Pharma betrayed America by profiting off of pain and pushing pills regardless of the risks. These corporations lied for decades, knowingly endangering millions to line their pockets.”

The legal action follows comments from President Donald J. Trump, who recently warned pregnant women against using acetaminophen. “Don’t take Tylenol, don’t take it,” Trump said during a White House press conference, citing concerns about a potential link between prenatal use and autism in children.

The lawsuit, led by the law firm Keller Postman, claims Johnson & Johnson ignored and concealed evidence that acetaminophen could cause neurodevelopmental harm. The firm is also representing individuals in separate cases against the company’s spin-off, Kenvue, over similar allegations.

A 2021 meta-analysis led by researchers from Harvard and Mount Sinai found an increased risk of autism and ADHD among children exposed to the drug in utero. Internal documents obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests have revealed that Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scientists had expressed concerns about acetaminophen’s safety during pregnancy as early as 2016, recommending that the agency urge “judicious” use. Notably, those warnings were never issued publicly.

The FDA has since said it is reviewing labeling updates, but maintains that a causal link between acetaminophen and autism has not been established.

Additional studies cited in the case include research suggesting that prenatal exposure to acetaminophen may disrupt sexual development in male fetuses. Meanwhile, archived guidance from 2017 reportedly showed Tylenol advising pregnant women to avoid all its products, though that warning was later removed.

Vance Says Military Will Be Paid This Week Despite Democrat Shutdown.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Vice President J.D. Vance announced that U.S. military service members will receive their paychecks this week despite the ongoing government shutdown.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Vice President J.D. Vance, GOP senators, and Congressional Democrats.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Amid the fourth week of the federal government shutdown, with discussions ongoing in Washington, D.C.

💬KEY QUOTE: “We do think that we can continue paying the troops, at least for now.” – J.D. Vance

🎯IMPACT: Military service members will receive paychecks this Friday, but broader funding issues remain unresolved as Democrats and Republicans remain at odds over a continuing resolution.

IN FULL

Vice President J.D. Vance has announced that U.S. military service members will be paid this week despite the ongoing government shutdown. The Republican-led Senate had attempted to pass legislation last week ensuring that both military members and other federal employees required to work during the shutdown would continue to receive pay. However, the measure was blocked by Democrats.

“We do think that we can continue paying the troops, at least for now,” Vance stated after meeting with Republican senators. He also noted that food stamp benefits (SNAP) are nearing expiration and emphasized the need for cooperation from Democrats to keep essential operations running. “We just need the Democrats to actually help us out,” Vance added.

While troops will receive paychecks this Friday, Vance criticized Democrats for opposing Republican efforts to pass a clean continuing resolution (CR) that would maintain government funding at current levels. “Unfortunately, we’re not going to be able to pay everybody because we’ve been handed a very bad hand by the Democrats,” he explained.

Earlier in October, the Trump administration took similar measures to ensure military pay by reallocating $8 billion from military research and development accounts. However, the source of future funding remains uncertain as the shutdown continues.

The Senate GOP has repeatedly proposed a clean CR, but Democrats have largely rejected it, instead pushing for a resolution that includes provisions to extend expiring Obamacare subsidies and increase federal healthcare funding for illegal immigrants. The federal government is now in its fourth week of the shutdown, with no clear resolution in sight.

Clinton Judge Blocks Trump Admin From Firing Govt Workers During Shutdown.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A federal judge issued an indefinite block on the Trump administration’s plan to fire federal employees during the shutdown.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: U.S. District Court Judge Susan Illston, the Trump administration, and labor unions.

📍WHEN & WHERE: October 28, 2025, San Francisco.

🎯IMPACT: The injunction halts job cuts in government sectors and prevents the firing of federal employees amidst the ongoing shutdown.

IN FULL

A San Francisco federal judge—appointed to the bench by former President Bill Clinton—has indefinitely barred the Trump administration from proceeding with the firing of federal employees during the ongoing government shutdown. U.S. District Court Judge Susan Illston‘s preliminary injunction replaces a temporary restraining order she issued last week that was set to expire on Wednesday.

The ruling comes as part of a lawsuit challenging the legality of the administration’s firings. In justifying the injunction, Judge Illston stated her belief that it is likely that the plaintiffs will prevail in their legal challenge, demonstrating that the job cuts were illegal and exceeded the administration’s authority.

On October 10, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russ Vought announced that the layoff of federal workers had begun after Senate Democrats forced federal government funding to lapse nine days earlier. “The RIFs have begun,” Vought posted to X (formerly Twitter), referring to reductions-in-force. An OMB spokesman described the job cuts as “substantial.”

The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), along with other labor unions, filed a lawsuit against the layoffs. They argue these measures are an abuse of power intended to pressure Congress and punish federal workers.

On Tuesday, Senate Democrats defeated a 13th attempt to pass temporary government funding and end the impasse. As this shutdown becomes the second-longest in history, Democratic lawmakers are demanding that any agreement to reopen the government should address expiring health care subsidies—an issue Republicans want to take up separately—and reverse a number of provisions enacted under President Donald J. Trump‘s Once Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Republican lawmakers in the House—which passed a clean, temporary funding extension in September—insist Senate Democrats must reopen the government before any negotiations can take place.

UFC Fighter Flips on Trump, Brands Him ‘Antichrist’ in Bizarre Tirade.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell publicly denounced President Donald J. Trump, calling him the “Antichrist” and withdrawing his previous support.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Bryce Mitchell, President Trump.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Mitchell shared his views on Instagram on Friday.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I do think that Donald Trump is that beast of Revelation 13:3.” – Bryce Mitchell

🎯IMPACT: Mitchell’s comments mark a stark reversal from his prior vocal support of Trump and raise concerns about the professional fighter’s mental health and cognitive state.

IN FULL

UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell, previously a staunch supporter of President Donald J. Trump, has publicly withdrawn his endorsement, labeling the America First leader the “Antichrist.” Mitchell shared his strange rant in a video posted to Instagram on Friday.

In his statement, Mitchell explained his reasons for the shift, citing Trump’s failure to release the Epstein files, the allocation of tax dollars to Israel and Ukraine, and recent remarks about beef farmers. “I do not like the guy at all,” Mitchell said. “He talked a good game, he tricked me. I was fooled. I admit it.”

Mitchell also referred to a passage from the Bible, Revelation 13:3, to support his claim, saying, “I want y’all, if you’re a Christian, I want you to get into Revelation 13:3… I do think that Donald Trump is that beast of Revelation 13:3.”

This marks a significant reversal for Mitchell, who had previously expressed unwavering loyalty to Trump. Following Trump’s 2024 election win, Mitchell once stated during a UFC press conference that he would “take a bullet and die” for the President.

The bizarre rant is raising concerns about Mitchell’s cognitive state and mental health. Earlier this year, the professional fighter drew controversy after referring to Adolf Hitler as a “good guy.” Numerous neurological studies have found that athletes participating in sports—like mixed martial arts and boxing—are at a higher risk of developing chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which can manifest in the form of neurobehavioural disturbances.

Trump Challenges NY Conviction in ‘Hush Money’ Case.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump’s legal team filed an appeal against his Manhattan criminal conviction stemming from a so-called “hush money” case.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Trump, his attorneys, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and Stormy Daniels.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The appeal was filed on Monday, October 28, 2025, in New York.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This case should have never seen the inside of a courtroom, let alone resulted in a jury conviction.” – Robert Giuffra Jr., Trump’s attorney.

🎯IMPACT: The appeal is a critical step in President Trump’s efforts to overturn his felony conviction and challenge what his team describes as politically motivated charges.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump‘s lawyers on Monday finally filed their appeal of the Manhattan “hush money” criminal case that resulted in his felony conviction. In the appeal, the America First leader’s legal team reiterated their arguments that the case should not have been brought, citing the judge’s prior donations to Democratic causes as a conflict of interest and referencing a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity from July 2024, which rendered part of the prosecution’s evidence inadmissible.

The appeal also challenges the jury’s decision, arguing that the conviction should be overturned. “This case should have never seen the inside of a courtroom, let alone resulted in a jury conviction,” wrote Robert Giuffra Jr., one of Trump’s attorneys, in the 96-page filing.

The case centers on allegations that President Trump authorized payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election campaign to prevent her from publicizing claims of an alleged affair. Prosecutors argued that Trump falsified business records to cover up reimbursements to his then-lawyer, Michael Cohen, for the $130,000 payment.

The trial, which lasted seven weeks in the spring of 2024, coincided with Trump’s third—and ultimately victorious—presidential campaign. His legal team has accused Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg of pursuing the charges for political purposes. “The DA, a Democrat, brought those charges in the middle of a contentious presidential election in which President Trump was the leading Republican candidate,” Trump’s attorneys stated in their filing.

While President Trump received a no-jail sentence days before returning to the White House in January, the conviction remains unless overturned. His legal team continues to fight the charges, with a spokesman calling the appeal a “powerhouse” and asserting that “President Trump will keep defeating Democrat weaponization at every turn as he focuses on his singular mission to Make America Great Again.”

House Oversight Report: Some Biden Autopen Actions ‘Illegitimate,’ DOJ Must Investigate.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Republican-led House Oversight Committee released a report questioning the legitimacy of some executive actions signed by autopen during Joe Biden’s presidency, citing concerns about his mental fitness.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The House Oversight Committee, chaired by Rep. James Comer (R-KY), former President Joe Biden, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, and figures such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and Hunter Biden.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The report was issued on Tuesday in Washington, D.C., as part of ongoing investigations into Biden’s presidency.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency,” Biden claimed in a prior statement, rejecting claims of impropriety.

🎯IMPACT: The findings could lead to Department of Justice (DOJ) investigations or legal challenges regarding Biden’s executive actions, including pardons.

IN FULL

The House Oversight Committee has asserted that some executive actions signed by autopen during Joe Biden’s presidency may be invalid. The committee cited concerns about Biden’s cognitive abilities and claimed that actions signed without direct written approval from the president should be considered void.

In a letter accompanying the report, Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) called on U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to review and investigate Biden’s executive actions, suggesting the authorities should “void all executive actions signed by the autopen without proper, corresponding, contemporaneous, written approval traceable to the president’s own consent.”

The report specifically highlighted pardons issued by Biden, including those for family members, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and people involved in the January 6 investigation. Biden also pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, on federal charges, which he previously promised he would not do.

The report comes amid Department of Justice (DOJ) investigations into several individuals who either oversaw or executed lawfare operations against President Donald J. Trump. Trump has also urged Bondi to investigate Biden’s mental fitness and his use of the autopen.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, addressing the Oversight Committee’s findings, called the report “unprecedented.” He stated that while there is no legal precedent for overturning a presidential pardon, the current situation is “uncharted territory,” and a number of Biden’s pardons are likely “invalid.”

Democrats on the committee have dismissed the report as a partisan effort, with Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) calling it a “sham investigation.” A spokesman for Biden claims that the investigation had confirmed no wrongdoing and accused Republicans of pursuing political retribution.

The report also accuses Biden’s aides of shielding his alleged cognitive decline from the public. However, Biden has consistently denied these claims, stating, “I made the decisions during my presidency.”

Netanyahu Orders IDF to Break Trump Ceasefire Over Hostage Remains.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Israeli authorities have accused Hamas of violating a ceasefire agreement by returning partial remains of a hostage previously identified, rather than the body of another deceased hostage, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordering the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to carry out “powerful strikes” within Gaza.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The Israeli government, Hamas, the Red Cross, and international mediators, including the U.S., Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The incident occurred on Monday, with remains delivered to the National Institute for Forensic Medicine in Tel Aviv, Israel.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This constitutes a clear violation of the agreement by the Hamas terrorist organization,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office.

🎯IMPACT: Netanyahu has ordered “powerful strikes” against Gaza. Israeli officials are considering further punitive measures against Hamas, including limiting cooperation on recovery operations and expanding IDF-controlled areas in Gaza.

IN FULL

Israeli authorities claim that a coffin handed over by Hamas on Monday did not contain the remains of a deceased hostage but instead the partial remains of another person whose body had been—in part—recovered in late 2023. The Israeli Prime Minister’s office accused Hamas of a “clear violation” of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, and Netanyahu has now ordered the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to launch “powerful strikes” within Gaza.

Hamas had claimed it was committed to the ceasefire deal brokered by U.S. President Donald J. Trump—with support from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey—but stated that difficulties in locating remains were due to the destruction caused by Israeli strikes. Israeli media reported that Hamas operatives were filmed burying and later exhuming remains, which were handed over to the Red Cross for transfer to Israel.

Israeli officials are reportedly considering further punitive measures such as expanding IDF-controlled areas in Gaza. Public broadcaster Kan News reported that visits by Hamas and Red Cross representatives to assist with recovery efforts may also be suspended.

Hamas has denied claims that it knows the locations of all hostages, citing challenges caused by Israeli military operations. Meanwhile, negotiations continue as Israeli officials press for the return of all deceased hostages’ bodies. The ceasefire agreement had previously facilitated the release of 20 living Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and detainees.
