ICE Presses Sanctuary Sheriffs to Hand Over Criminal Illegals or Face Prosecution.

Federal immigration officials are threatening legal action against sheriffs in Minneapolis and Chicago for not cooperating with ICE detainer requests.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Federal officials have warned two Democrat county sheriffs that they could face criminal charges for refusing to give immigration agents broad access to inmates subject to deportation, escalating the Trump administration’s campaign against so-called “sanctuary” jurisdictions
📰 DETAIL: Letters delivered in early July to Hennepin County, Minnesota, Sheriff Dawanna Witt and Cook County, Illinois, Sheriff Tom Dart stated that failing to transfer inmates requested by immigration authorities could result in federal witness tampering charges. The Justice Department has increasingly targeted state and local governments that decline to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement as part of President Donald J. Trump‘s mass deportation agenda. Federal judges in both Illinois and Minnesota have previously dismissed lawsuits against Witt and Dart, ruling that the Constitution allows states and local governments to decline participation in federal immigration enforcement.
🎯 IMPACT: The threats highlight the ongoing tension between federal immigration enforcement and local jurisdictions that choose not to cooperate fully with ICE.
👀 FLASHBACK: This conflict is part of a broader pattern of legal and political battles over sanctuary policies, which have been a contentious issue since President Donald J. Trump returned to office in 2025 and began pushing for expanded immigration enforcement.

British Defence Sec Took Donations Linked to Sam Bankman-Fried.

British Defence Secretary Wes Streeting faces scrutiny over donations linked to infamous fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: British Defence Secretary Wes Streeting reportedly accepted approximately $50,600 in donations from the Labour for the Long Term (LLT) think tank between 2022 and 2023, despite concerns within Labour over the group’s funding after its founder, David Lawrence, received a $675,000 gift from disgraced cryptocurrency entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried shortly before LLT made its first donation.
📰 DETAIL: Bankman-Fried, the former FTX chief executive, was sentenced to 25 years in prison after being convicted of stealing billions of dollars from customers, prompting questions over whether money linked to his fraud could have indirectly benefited British politicians. Lawrence denied that Bankman-Fried’s funds were used to support LLT or Streeting, claiming the cryptocurrency billionaire’s donation went to British charities and that LLT’s contributions came from other Britain-based donors. Streeting’s office said it conducted due diligence, reviewed LLT’s donor list before accepting the money, found no indication of any connection to Bankman-Fried, and that all donations were properly declared under electoral rules. The report also highlights longstanding concerns over unincorporated associations, which can legally accept funding without publicly disclosing all donors, a loophole the Electoral Commission has urged Parliament to close.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “The Defence Secretary has serious questions to answer. He must immediately come clean about the source of his donations and any possible connections with the disgraced crook Sam Bankman-Fried.” – Alex Burghart, Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster

Top Aide to Prime Minister Andy Burnham Called President Trump a ‘Fascist.’

Kevin Lee, the closest and longest-serving political advisor to new Prime Minister Andy Burnham, called President Donald J. Trump “a fascist” and the worst President ever in posts unearthed by The National Pulse.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: One of Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s closest aides called President Donald J. Trump a “fascist” and blamed him for January 6.
📺 DETAIL: Kevin Lee has served as a political aide to British Prime Minister Andy Burnham for more than 15 years. Lee worked under Burnham during the latter’s failed bids for the Labour Party leadership in 2010 and 2015, as well as serving under Burnham while he was a Shadow Cabinet member. Lee was appointed Director of the Mayor’s Office when Burnham was elected Mayor of Greater Manchester in 2017. Lee advised Burnham throughout the Makerfield by-election. Since Burnham became Prime Minister earlier this month, Lee has been appointed as Special Advisor at Number 10 North, which was created by Prime Minister Burnham as a regional office of Number 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister’s official residence in London. Lee is widely seen as the new Prime Minister’s closest and longest-serving advisor. On January 6, 2021, Lee described President Trump as a “fascist” in a post suggesting that the President had incited Jan. 6. Specifically, Lee posted on X (formerly Twitter): “Terrible scenes from the US. @realDonaldTrump proving what many of us believed, he is a fascist. For the millions of democrats (and the Democrats) in the US, we stand with you. #democracy #Biden.” The year prior, on November 6, 2020, Lee posted: “@SkyNews reporting that @realDonaldTrump is in an ‘awful mood’ – bloody good! Now he knows how he’s made the rest of us feel for the last awful 4 years of the worst Presidency ever. Goodbye Don and good riddance. #byebyeTrump.”
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Terrible scenes from the US. @realDonaldTrump proving what many of us believed, he is a fascist. For the millions of democrats (and the Democrats) in the US, we stand with you. #democracy #Biden.” — Kevin Lee, Special Advisor to Prime Minister Andy Burnham
🎯 IMPACT: This represents another example of a close advisor to the new British Prime Minister being extremely anti-Trump. Lee’s posts echo similar comments made by Matthew McGregor, the Prime Minister’s Head of Strategy at Number 10. McGregor also described President Trump as a fascist, Specifically, McGregor described the President as having “fascist tendencies.” Lee’s post attributing blame for January 6 to President Trump reflects a narrative pushed by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Britain’s public broadcaster. The BBC edited footage of a speech the President gave on January 6 to make it look like he had directly incited the breach of the United States Capitol. The scandal led to the resignations of former BBC Director-General Tim Davie and CEO of BBC News Deborah Turness.

New UK Foreign Sec Ducks Questions on Smearing Trump as an ‘Idiot, Racist, and Misogynist.’

The United Kingdom’s Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband was pressed on his past comments about President Donald J. Trump ahead of his meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband avoided a question asking whether he still views President Donald J. Trump as an “idiot, a racist and a misogynist” in a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
📺 DETAIL: The meeting between Foreign Secretary Miliband and Secretary of State Rubio took place in Washington, D.C., following a previous meeting between the two during a summit in the Philippines. Miliband was asked by reporters whether he still viewed President Trump as an “idiot, a racist and a misogynist.” Miliband also described the President as “a racist, misogynistic, self-confessed groper” in 2016. The Foreign Secretary did not provide an answer. Instead, he replied: “We are looking forward to our meeting.” The meeting between the two will also include discussions on reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to stabilize global energy markets, as well as addressing the Ukraine war and the war in Gaza.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “I am greatly looking forward to my second meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in which we will discuss the ongoing work to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and secure a lasting ceasefire, which is essential to ease cost-of-living pressures on British families,” said Miliband ahead of the meeting.
🎯 IMPACT: Miliband’s past comments are not insignificant, especially since the Foreign Secretary himself has repeatedly conceded that the United Kingdom’s relationship with the United States is vital. The Trump administration expressed concerns about new Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s decision to appoint Miliband as Foreign Secretary. “The Trump administration took the extraordinary step of warning the new Prime Minister that the United States would view the appointment of ‘red diaper’ baby and self-described socialist Ed Miliband as very injurious to the ‘special relationship’,” said War Room host Stephen K. Bannon nearer the time. Miliband, known as “Red Ed” in Britain, was heavily criticized for his dogmatic support for net zero ideology while serving as Energy Secretary, despite Britain’s extremely high energy prices. This suggests that Miliband must prove to the Trump administration that his views have changed and that he’s willing to be a productive partner.

Far-Left Abdul El-Sayed Clinches Michigan Senate Primary.

Far-left Abdul El-Sayed’s victory in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary sets the stage for a high-stakes general election against Republican Mike Rogers in a race critical to Senate control.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Abdul El-Sayed narrowly defeated Representative Haley Stevens in Michigan‘s Democratic U.S. Senate primary, handing the party’s left wing a major victory in one of the nation’s most closely watched battleground races. Backed by Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), El-Sayed campaigned on “Medicare for All,” ending U.S. military aid to Israel, and sweeping campaign finance reforms, while portraying himself as an anti-establishment alternative to Democratic insiders.
📺 DETAIL: Stevens, who was supported by retiring Sen. Gary Peters and benefited from more than $50 million in outside spending, including over $30 million from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and its affiliates, conceded the race and pledged to support El-Sayed in November. Republicans have already rallied behind former Congressman Mike Rogers, who ran unopposed in the GOP primary and is expected to make the race one of the most competitive Senate contests in the country. Democrats view the Michigan seat as essential to any chance of reclaiming control of the Senate during President Donald J. Trump‘s final two years in office. El-Sayed urged Democrats to unite after the contentious primary, saying the party must come together to prevent Rogers from winning the seat. Earlier this year, El-Sayed refused to comment on the killing of Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as a leaked audio revealed he was concerned with upsetting Muslims in Dearborn who might admire the slain Iranian Supreme Leader.
🎯 IMPACT: The general election between El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers, a former congressman who ran unopposed for the GOP nomination, is expected to be one of the most closely watched races in the country. Control of the Senate could potentially hinge on this seat, making it a must-win for Democrats. Republicans have already allocated significant resources to support Rogers in the general election.

Police to Take Andy Burnham to Court Over Plan to Release Cop Killers Early.

Police officers from across the United Kingdom have vowed to take legal action against the Labour government to prevent the early release of two men convicted of the death of a police officer.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: British police officers have announced their intention to take legal action against Prime Minister Andy Burnham if Police Constable Andrew Harper’s killers are released early by the government.
📺 DETAIL: The Police Federation, representing rank and file police officers, has vowed to take the British government to court if PC Harper’s killers are freed under its early release scheme. PC Harper, a 28-year-old police officer, was killed in 2019 while responding to a theft in Berkshire, England. Harper was caught in a strap attached to a fleeing vehicle and dragged to death. PC Harper’s killers, Jessie Cole and Albert Bowers, who were sentenced to just 13 years in prison, would be eligible for early release under the government’s scheme, which includes those convicted of manslaughter, among other crimes. A petition launched by the Police Federation against the release of PC Harper’s killers has already garnered over 100,000 signatures. Aileen O’Connor, chairwoman of the Police Federation, warned that police officers would “not forget the Government’s inexplicable and unforgivable decision” and that the Federation would “throw everything at this through a proper legal challenge.” He added: “It is a final betrayal from the politicians, who are supposed to be on our side.”
💬 KEY QUOTE: “We will do what we have to do to protect Andrew Harper’s legacy and other victims up and down the country who don’t have a platform to put their points across.” – Aileen O’Connor
🎯 IMPACT: The decision to release the killers of PC Harper has sparked outrage among police officers, PC Harper’s family, and the public. The episode is being viewed as evidence that the Labour Party is inclined to side with criminals over law-abiding citizens and police officers. This scandal comes just a few weeks into new Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s premiership, representing one of his first major challenges alongside the country’s ongoing illegal migration crisis.

Indian Government Moves to Seize Christian Churches.

Proposed legislation in India could allow government control over religious organizations receiving funding from overseas, sparking international and domestic backlash.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: India’s government is facing criticism over proposed changes to the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA), with opponents saying they could allow authorities to take control of Christian churches and other religious organizations if their FCRA registrations are canceled. The Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill would create a “Designated Authority” to manage foreign-funded assets of organizations that lose their registrations, while requiring that any place of worship retain its religious character.
📺 DETAIL: U.S. Republican Congressman Riley Moore (R-WV) called the proposal a “clear attack against Christians,” warning it could become a major issue in U.S.-India relations if enacted. The legislation would also reduce the maximum penalty for FCRA violations from five years in prison to one year. Indian lawmakers rejected Moore’s comments, arguing that the legislation is a domestic matter and criticizing foreign intervention. The Indian government is expected to introduce the amendment in the Lok Sabha (House of the People) next week. According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, 13,520 organizations received about $5.8 million in foreign funding between 2019 and 2022, while the FCRA portal lists 14,449 active certificates, 22,498 canceled registrations, and 15,212 expired certificates. India has a history of anti-Christian hatred, with recent reports expressing concern over growing numbers of attacks, which have increased 500 percent over the last decade, combined with a weak response from the majority-Hindu government.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “This is a clear attack against Christians. If this bill proceeds in this way, it would be a point of major concern in our bilateral relationship with India.” – Congressman Riley Moore

Ukraine Fails to Stop a Single Russian Missile in Overnight Barrage as Interceptors Run Low.

A massive Russian missile and drone attack against Kiev resulted in significant casualties, highlighting Ukraine’s critical shortage of missile interceptors.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: At least 17 people were killed and 44 injured after Russia launched one of its deadliest attacks on Kiev this year, firing 28 ballistic and hypersonic missiles along with 115 drones overnight, according to the Ukrainian air force, which said it failed to intercept any of the missiles. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the deaths could have been prevented with additional Patriot missile interceptors, urging Western allies to speed up deliveries of air defense systems.
📰 DETAIL: Russia said it targeted military logistics hubs, supply centers, drone production facilities, and cargo vessels transporting weapons near the Black Sea port of Odessa, while Ukrainian officials said civilian infrastructure was struck, including warehouses, a train depot, and commercial facilities. Open-source analysts suggested some of the missiles may have been Iskander-M ballistic missiles equipped with cluster munitions, though this has not been independently confirmed. The attack was the third large-scale bombardment of Kiev in a week and came as Ukraine faces a critical shortage of Patriot interceptors, the only Western-supplied system capable of reliably defeating ballistic missiles. Ukrainian officials also warned that North Korea is expanding its military support for Russia, alleging Pyongyang has deployed a missile unit equipped with ballistic missiles and launchers to western Russia.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Ballistic missile interceptors could have saved the lives of those killed today.” – Volodymyr Zelensky
🎯 IMPACT: The attack underscores Ukraine’s urgent need for more missile interceptors. President Zelensky emphasized the dire consequences of delays in receiving anti-ballistic systems from Western allies. However, the demand comes amid reports that U.S. missile stockpiles, including Patriot systems, are dangerously low.

Declassified Memos Reveal FBI Covertly Investigated Trump as Russian Asset After Comey Firing.

Newly declassified documents show the Federal Bureau of Investigation launched a 2017 investigation into President Donald J. Trump based on discredited allegations of collusion with Russia, despite warnings from their own agents.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigated President Donald J. Trump on false allegations after the firing of former FBI Director James Comey.
📺 DETAIL: In May 2017, the FBI opened a criminal investigation, codenamed “Oxferd Comma,” which investigated President Trump on allegations that he was a Russian asset. The investigation was launched after the President dismissed former FBI Director James Comey. The investigation was launched despite no evidence of collusion between President Trump and Russia. According to declassified records, the claims that launched the FBI’s investigation into the President originated from the Steele Dossier, a political opposition report funded by the Clinton for President campaign, released earlier that same year. The dossier contained claims that had already been disproven and dismissed, even by the FBI’s own agents. Despite this, the investigation was approved by senior FBI officials. The probe led to the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, whose two-year investigation failed to substantiate any claims of collusion. It was later revealed that FBI agents Peter Strzok and William Barnett expressed doubts at the time regarding the validity of the claims before the investigation began. In 2023, Special Counsel John Durham’s report concluded that the FBI’s Russia collusion probe was unfounded and criticized the FBI for bias. 
💬 KEY QUOTE: “I hesitate in part because of my gut sense and concern there’s no big there there.” – Peter Strzok, FBI Deputy Assistant Director, in a 2017 text message regarding the investigation
🎯 IMPACT: These declassified records suggest that the FBI was determined to conclude that President Trump was a Russian asset despite a lack of evidence and pushback from agency personnel. Significantly, the investigation into claims of collusion between the President and Russia heavily disrupted the early years of the first Trump administration. The investigation heightened partisan divisions and deepened distrust of the Intelligence Community. They show that perceptions of the Intelligence Community as excessively scrutinizing President Trump without a solid foundation to do so were warranted, raising concerns about the weaponization of the federal government and its agencies.
📺 FLASHBACK: In April this year, Comey was indicted for a social media post featuring seashells arranged to form the numbers ‘86 47.’ ‘86’ is slang for remove or kill, while ‘47’ almost certainly refers to President Trump, the 47th U.S. President.

Police have stated that they suspect the stabbings stemmed from a “mental health related incident” and have asked for “sensitive reporting.”
👤 WHO WAS INVOLVED: A suspect described only as a 47-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of assault and possession of an offensive weapon. She remains in police custody.
📍 WHEN & WHERE: The incident occurred on Endell Street, Covent Garden, at approximately 12:27 PM on August 5.

Explosive-Laden Drone Found at European Airport.

A drone carrying an explosive device caused flight suspensions at Leipzig/Halle Airport in Germany, with authorities investigating a possible connection to Ukrainian aircraft.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: German police discovered a drone carrying an explosive device at Leipzig/Halle Airport, leading to temporary flight suspensions. A robot was deployed to secure the device, which was found in the cargo operation area.
📍 WHEN & WHERE: The incident occurred overnight at Leipzig/Halle Airport in Saxony, Germany.
📺 DETAIL: In addition to the explosive-carrying drone, a second unidentified object reportedly collided with a cargo plane after takeoff, causing minor damage. The plane was diverted to Hanover for inspection. Some reports suggest the explosive-laden drone may have been near a Ukrainian aircraft, though details remain unclear. Significantly, these incidents come after a Chinese woman was convicted last year for informing a man spying for the Chinese government on cargo movements and flight schedules at Leipzig-Halle Airport.
🎯 IMPACT: While one runway has since been reopened, the incident highlights potential security vulnerabilities at major European airports and raises concerns about the safety of cargo operations, especially amid ongoing geopolitical tensions with Russia over Ukraine. There have been several incidents in recent years in which Russia has been accused of planting incendiary bombs in packages intended to travel by air.
