The Corporate Media Is Trying to Whitewash an Illegal Immigrant’s Terror Ties.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The corporate media is again attempting to portray an illegal immigrant with a concerning background in a positive light, seemingly to undermine public sentiment toward President Donald J. Trump’s nationwide immigration enforcement actions.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Ayman Soliman, the Cincinnati Enquirer, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the former Biden government.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Soliman was recently detained by ICE after his asylum status was revoked by the former Biden government in 2024.

💬KEY QUOTE: “What my hometown paper [the Enquirer] doesn’t want to tell you is this Egyptian national was flagged on the FBI terror watchlist. He had his asylum status revoked by the *checks notes* BIDEN Administration.” — DHS Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin

🎯IMPACT: The situation mirrors a similar attempt by the corporate media to paint illegal immigrant and alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a ‘Maryland man’ and ‘Maryland father.’

IN FULL

The corporate media have once again been caught attempting to whitewash an illegal immigrant‘s concerning background in an attempt to portray them in a sympathetic light and undermine President Donald J. Trump’s nationwide immigration enforcement actions. In this instance, Ayman Soliman—an Egyptian imam—who was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), is being presented by the Cincinnati Enquirer as a “children’s chaplain” despite having had his asylum status revoked by the former Biden government in 2024 over his name being flagged on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) terrorism watchlist.

Soliman’s portrayal by the corporate media is reminiscent of a similar attempt to paint illegal immigrant and alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a ‘Maryland man’ or ‘Maryland father.’ Abrego Garcia is currently facing criminal charges related to human trafficking. In addition, Attorney General Pam Bondi alleges that Abrego Garcia was involved in drug smuggling, gun running, and abusing women and children.

Soliman, who did serve as a chaplain at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, was imprisoned several times for agitating in Egypt against the country’s government. Notably, opposition to the al-Sisi government is rife with Islamist elements tied to the radical Muslim Brotherhood.

“What my hometown paper [the Enquirer] doesn’t want to tell you is this Egyptian national was flagged on the FBI terror watchlist. He had his asylum status revoked by the *checks notes* BIDEN Administration,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter), blasting the newspaper’s framing of Soliman and his detention. The Cincinnati Enquirer has subsequently updated their story on Soliman, briefly noting the FBI terrorism flag but still attempting to portray the imam’s activities in Egypt in a positive light.

Feds Offer $50k Reward After Man Opens Fire on ICE Agents During Raid.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A suspect reportedly fired a handgun at federal agents during an immigration raid in California.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Federal law enforcement officers and an unknown gunman.

📍WHEN & WHERE: July 10 at approximately 2:26 PM, near Camarillo, California, on Laguna Road.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Make no mistake: anyone who targets our agents will face the full force of federal prosecution.” – U.S. Customs and Border Protection

🎯IMPACT: The Federal Bureau of Investigation is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to a conviction.

IN FULL

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is offering a $50,000 reward for a man who was filmed firing on federal agents with a handgun during a July 10 immigration raid at a California marijuana farm. The incident occurred at approximately 2:26 PM on Laguna Road, near Camarillo, California.

The identity of the gunman remains unknown as of the time of publication, prompting an urgent call for information. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) emphasized the seriousness of the shooting, stating, “Make no mistake: anyone who targets our agents will face the full force of federal prosecution.”

The raid saw federal agents deploy rubber bullets and tear gas as pro-illegal immigrant agitators attempted to disrupt the raid, which was heavily criticized by Governor Gavin Newsom. “Kids running from tear gas, crying on the phone because their mother was just taken from the fields. Trump calls me ‘Newscum’—but he’s the real scum,” the Democrat railed on social media.

Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shot back, “Why are there children working at a marijuana facility, Gavin?” U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) subsequently confirmed that the raid uncovered ten illegal alien children, eight of them unaccompanied, at the farm, which is now under investigation for potentially exploiting child labor.

The Trump administration has blamed anti-ICE rhetoric from senior Democrats for increasingly violent attacks in recent days, including a sniper ambush at a Texas ICE facility that left a policeman with a gunshot to the neck, and an attempted mass shooting at a Border Patrol base elsewhere in the same state.

In California, one Democratic vice mayor has gone so far as to publicly berate the violent Latino gangs 18th Street and Florencia 13 for failing to confront ICE, suggesting they are not defending their “turf” against “the biggest gang there is.”

ICE Discovers Illegal Alien Child Laborers During CA Weed Farm Raid.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Rodney Scott says that at least 10 illegal alien children were being used as child labour at a California marijuana farm.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Commissioner Scott, Governor Gavin Newsom (D), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), illegal aliens.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The ICE raid on the marijuana facility took place on July 10.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Here’s some breaking news: 10 juveniles were found at this marijuana facility – all illegal aliens, 8 of them unaccompanied. It’s now under investigation for child labor violations,” said Commissioner Scott.

🎯IMPACT: The discovery at the farm and the clash between Governor Newsom and federal immigration officials over the raid highlight the continued tensions between the Trump administration and California Democrats over immigration policy.

IN FULL

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Rodney Scott reports that at least ten juveniles, all illegal aliens, were found working at a marijuana farm during an immigration raid in Governor Gavin Newsom’s California.

“Here’s some breaking news: 10 juveniles were found at this marijuana facility – all illegal aliens, 8 of them unaccompanied. It’s now under investigation for child labor violations,” Commissioner Scott said. He was replying to a post on X by Governor Newsom, who was complaining about the immigration raid.

The incident in Camarillo, owned by Glass House Brands Inc., saw U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents forced to use rubber bullets and smoke grenades after pro-illegal immigrant agitators attempted to disrupt the raid.

In reaction to Commissioner Scott’s comments, Governor Newsom’s office released a statement saying, “There’s a real cost to these inhumane immigration actions on hardworking families and communities, including farmworker communities, across America.” Notably, he did not address the human cost of illegal alien children being exploited as a source of labor.

The exchange underscores the tensions between Newsom and the Trump administration, which previously flared during riots in Los Angeles against ICE, which soon spread to other cities. President Trump sent both the National Guard and the U.S. Marines to help ICE and Los Angeles law enforcement during the riots, with Newsom attempting to stop this by filing lawsuits.

Biden Judge Halts Illegal Immigration Raids Across Southern California.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A far-left federal judge appointed by former President Joe Biden is set to impose an order effectively ending Trump administration immigration enforcement actions across southern California, including in Los Angeles.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: U.S. District Court Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Trump administration, Southern California businesses, and illegal immigrants.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The tentative order comes after a hearing on Thursday, July 10, in Los Angeles.

🎯IMPACT: The tentative order appears far-reaching and will effectively end most federal immigration enforcement actions across seven counties in southern California.

IN FULL

A radical, far-left federal judge appointed by former President Joe Biden is set to impose an order that would bar the Trump administration from conducting most illegal immigration enforcement actions in Los Angeles and the surrounding area. U.S. District Court Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong has reportedly written a tentative order that would largely prevent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from conducting raids at L.A.-area Home Depots, car washes, warehouses, and other commercial facilities without demonstrating probable cause to do so.

The order stems from a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which contends that ICE is conducting what it characterizes as “deportation dragnets” in Los Angeles. According to the ACLU, the ICE raids are only predicated on the race and language of the targets, essentially constituting illegal profiling and discrimination. However, the Trump administration contends that the ICE raids are in accordance with federal law and are based on intelligence gathered by federal law enforcement, including the location of business establishments where illegal immigrants are known to have been hired.

Judge Frimpong’s order effectively restricts federal immigration officials from using race, the presence of Spanish speakers, and the type of business establishment to determine where to conduct raids. In addition, ICE agents will be barred from detaining suspected illegal immigrants unless they can show a reasonable cause of belief that an individual has broken U.S. immigration laws.

The ruling impacts the entire jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, which includes seven southern California counties.

Trump Admin Catches MS-13 Leaders Released Into U.S. Under Biden.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Federal law enforcement arrested two illegal immigrant MS-13 gang leaders during a raid in Omaha, Nebraska, on Wednesday. Both men are wanted by El Salvador’s government for numerous violent crimes.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Melvin Alejandro Varela Pérez, a.k.a. Payaso, Rene Escobar-Ochoa, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), other federal law enforcement agencies, MS-13, the government of El Salvador, INTERPOL, and the former Biden government.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The two MS-13 gang leaders were arrested on Wednesday, July 9, 2025; both were detained and paroled into the United States by the former Biden government.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The Biden Administration allowed two ringleaders of MS-13, one of the most violent gangs in the world, straight into our country. One of these depraved aliens is on El Salvador’s 100 Most Wanted Fugitives list and is wanted for five counts of murder. The other has an INTERPOL notice for drug trafficking.” — DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

🎯IMPACT: Both men are now in ICE custody while the agency coordinates for them to be returned to El Salvador.

IN FULL

Two illegal immigrant MS-13 gang kingpins were arrested during a federal raid in Omaha, Nebraska, on Wednesday, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Melvin Alejandro Varela Pérez—also known as Payaso—and Rene Escobar-Ochoa are both wanted by the Salvadoran government and are accused of numerous murders, conspiracy to commit murder, and drug trafficking. Pérez is listed on El Salvador’s 100 Most Wanted, and Escobar-Ochoa is the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice. Concerningly, DHS states that despite the warrants and Red Notice, both men were paroled by the former Biden government into the United States after being detained while illegally crossing the U.S. southern border.

“The Biden Administration allowed two ringleaders of MS-13, one of the most violent gangs in the world, straight into our country,” said Tricia McLaughlin, DHS’s Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs. “One of these depraved aliens is on El Salvador’s 100 Most Wanted Fugitives list and is wanted for five counts of murder. The other has an INTERPOL notice for drug trafficking.”

“These are the kinds of scum-bags sanctuary politicians are protecting and letting walk free on America’s streets,” she added.

Both men are now in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody after being captured in the raid, which was led by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and included other federal and international law enforcement partners. DHS says that ICE will continue to hold both MS-13 leaders as it coordinates with the Salvadoran government on returning them to the Central American nation to face justice.

The arrests are being highlighted as a shocking example of the lack of adequate vetting of illegal immigrants detained and subsequently released into the interior of the U.S. under former President Joe Biden.

Speaking on the matter on Thursday, President Donald J. Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, blasted the Biden-Harris era, noting that former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas had directed U.S. immigration officials to only proceed with immediate deportations when the detainee had prior violent criminal convictions and not merely warrants for violent crimes.

Trump Terminates Clinton-Era Policy Giving Free Tuition to Illegals.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump’s Department of Education has revoked a Bill Clinton-era policy giving taxpayer funds to help pay for the education of illegal aliens.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Donald J. Trump, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, and illegal aliens.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The announcement was made on July 10, and the policy will come into force on August 9.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Postsecondary education programs funded by the federal government should benefit American citizens, not illegal aliens.” – Linda McMahon.

🎯IMPACT: The change will save taxpayers from funding the education of illegal aliens.

IN FULL

The U.S. Department of Education has announced the rollback of a Bill Clinton-era policy that made certain federal education funds accessible to illegal immigrants enrolled in technical, career, and adult education programs.

The decision reverses a directive from the former Clinton administration, allowing non-citizens without legal status to benefit from federal funding for postsecondary education. According to the Trump administration, that interpretation was at odds with the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA), a federal law that limits most public benefits to U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.

“Postsecondary education programs funded by the federal government should benefit American citizens, not illegal aliens,” said Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. “Under President Trump’s leadership, hardworking American taxpayers will no longer foot the bill for illegal aliens to participate in our career, technical, or adult education programs or activities. The Department will ensure that taxpayer funds are reserved for citizens and individuals who have entered our country through legal means who meet federal eligibility criteria.”

Officials pointed to an executive order signed by President Trump on February 19, which reinforced the administration’s commitment to ending the use of federal funds for illegal immigrants. That order aligns with the PRWORA by emphasizing that federal benefits should be reserved for legal residents.

Beginning August 9, 2025, the Department will enforce the updated interpretation of the PRWORA. Federally funded postsecondary programs will be required to verify participants’ eligibility in accordance with the revised policy.

EXPLAINED: Judge Blocks Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order Despite SCOTUS Ruling.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A federal judge has issued a nationwide injunction blocking President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order ending birthright citizenship, despite a Supreme Court ruling last month barring lower courts from granting such relief beyond their jurisdiction.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: U.S. District Court Judge Joseph Normand Laplante, the United States Supreme Court, President Donald J. Trump, and the children of immigrants born on or after January 20, 2025.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The injunction was issued on Thursday, July 10, 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The court hereby finds that Class Petitioners have demonstrated likelihood of success on the merits of their claims; that Class Petitioners are likely to suffer irreparable harm if the order is not granted,” wrote Judge Laplante.

🎯IMPACT: Despite the Supreme Court ruling limiting nationwide injunctions, Judge Laplante utilized the “wiggle room” in the ruling, which allows for nationwide injunctive relief to be granted in class action lawsuits where a viable class is established and certified by the court.

IN FULL

U.S. District Court Judge Joseph Normand Laplante has issued a nationwide injunction blocking President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order ending birthright citizenship. While the U.S. Supreme Court ruled late last month that lower courts cannot—under most circumstances—grant injunctive relief beyond their jurisdiction, the high court left a degree of what Justice Samuel Alito called “wiggle room” for issuing nationwide injunctions as part of a class action lawsuit. This latter exception is how Judge Laplante, a George W. Bush appointee, made his ruling blocking the birthright citizenship order.

“After careful consideration of the parties’ submissions, the supporting declarations, the applicable law, and the filings and record in this case, the court GRANTS Petitioners’ Motion for a Classwide Preliminary Injunction,” Judge Laplante wrote in his ruling. He continued: “The court hereby finds that Class Petitioners have demonstrated likelihood of success on the merits of their claims; that Class Petitioners are likely to suffer irreparable harm if the order is not granted; that the potential harm to the class petitioners if the order is not granted outweighs the potential harm to Respondents if the order is granted; and that the issuance of this order is in the public interest.”

Notably, the injunction only provides relief from President Trump’s directive ending birthright citizenship for the class established by the court, which Judge Laplante defines as the children of immigrants born after the January 20, 2025, Executive Order went into effect. The federal judge, based in New Hampshire, also issued a seven-day stay on his injunction to allow time for the Trump administration to appeal the decision.

While Judge Laplante appears to have circumvented the constraints placed on nationwide injunctions by the Supreme Court, the expediency with which he recognized a viable class for the purposes of class action could be seen as dubious. Typically, establishing and certifying a viable class can take a relatively long period of time, with most class action lawsuits in the United States taking, on average, two to three years to conclude.

The Trump administration is expected to appeal the injunction.

Hispanic Support for Trump’s Deportations Is Surging.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A new poll shows Hispanic voter support for deportations has surged by 11 percent in just two months.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The poll was conducted by Cygnal, and it surveyed 1,500 people. The Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have also been central to recent deportation efforts.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The survey was conducted between July 1 and 2, 2025, as ICE continues nationwide raids and deportations.

💬KEY QUOTE: “We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.” – Tricia McLaughlin

🎯IMPACT: Support for deportations among Hispanic voters has risen significantly despite pro-illegal immigrant riots in cities across the U.S.

IN FULL

Support for President Donald J. Trump’s mass deportation policies has surged among Hispanic voters, according to a poll conducted by Cygnal. The survey, which polled 1,500 people between July 1 and 2, 2025, revealed an 11 percent rise in strong support for deportations among Hispanic voters since May.

The findings coincide with a series of nationwide raids and deportations carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). These operations have targeted migrants living in the U.S. illegally, many with serious criminal records.

Since May, overall support for deportations among Hispanic voters has increased by seven percent, with an 11 percent rise in those who “strongly support” them.

The poll found that over 60 percent of all voters now support the deportation of illegal immigrants. Among Hispanic voters, 50 percent expressed support, with 48 percent opposed. Support among black voters stood at 53 percent, while support among white voters stood at 65 percent. This is despite pro-illegal immigrant riots and potentially deadly attacks on ICE in cities across the U.S., accompanied by highly inflammatory anti-ICE rhetoric from senior Democrats.

Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), stated: “We encourage all illegal aliens to take control of their departure with the CBP Home App. The United States is offering illegal aliens $1,000 and a free flight to self-deport now. We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.”

Meanwhile, illegals who decline this offer and take their chances evading ICE will face fines of $1,000 a day, and be deported forcibly—possibly to a country other than their own, such as El Salvador.

John Kerry Admits ‘Trump Was Right’ on Strong Borders.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry acknowledged that “Trump was right” on immigration during an interview, criticizing Democrats for neglecting border issues.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: John Kerry, President Donald J. Trump, former President Joe Biden, and Trump White House advisor Stephen Miller, along with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Kerry’s comments were made during a BBC interview.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The first thing any President should say—or anybody in public life—is without a border protected, you don’t have a nation.” – John Kerry

🎯IMPACT: The remarks highlight growing bipartisan concerns over immigration policies and border security, with Republicans emphasizing enforcement and Democrats facing internal criticism.

IN FULL

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has admitted that President Donald J. Trump was correct on border and immigration issues, stating, “Trump was right,” during an interview. He criticized Democrats for failing to address border security adequately, admitting the U.S.-Mexico border was “under siege” during Joe Biden’s presidency.

Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004, remarked, “The first thing any President should say—or anybody in public life—is without a border protected, you don’t have a nation.” He added, “I wish President Biden had been heard more often saying, I’m going to enforce the law.”

Illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border have dropped to near-record lows during Trump’s second term. Trump has since prioritized deportations, particularly in Democrat-run cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where large populations of illegal immigrants reside.

Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff and a key architect of Trump’s immigration policies, initially gave U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) a target of at least 3,000 arrests a day. However, with ICE funding significantly increased with the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Border Czar Tom Homan now hopes to hit 7,000 arrests a day.

White House: Dems Are Inciting the Increasingly Violent Attacks on ICE.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Law enforcement officers involved in deportations are facing a spike in serious violence, with assaults on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents up 700 percent.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: ICE agents, Border Patrol officers, Democrat politicians, and far-left agitators.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Serious attacks occurred in early July at ICE facilities in Texas and Oregon, as well as a Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas.

💬KEY QUOTE: “ICE agents will be unsuccessful in protecting their identities no matter what it takes.” – House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)

🎯IMPACT: The rhetoric from Democrat politicians is contributing to an increasingly dangerous environment for federal agents.

IN FULL

A series of violent incidents targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in recent days has drawn sharp condemnation from the Trump administration, which is blaming inflammatory rhetoric from Democratic leaders for encouraging the attacks.

According to the White House, assaults on ICE personnel have increased by nearly 700 percent in recent months. The administration points to a string of serious recent attacks, including an incident on July 4 in Alvarado, Texas, where 11 suspects were arrested for allegedly luring ICE officers into a sniper ambush. One police officer responding to the incident was shot in the neck during the confrontation.

That same day, in Portland, Oregon, federal agents were reportedly attacked with an incendiary device and physically assaulted at another ICE installation.

On July 7, a gunman fired dozens of rounds at law enforcement at a Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas, injuring two police officers and a Border Patrol staff member before being killed.

The administration cited recent remarks from several Democratic lawmakers as examples of rhetoric it claims may have inspired the attacks. Among them were comments from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), who reportedly encouraged people to “fight” the Trump administration “in the streets” and stated that ICE agents “will be unsuccessful” in protecting their identities “no matter what it takes.”

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) was also singled out for calling ICE agents “deranged” and saying it was “inspiring” to obstruct immigration enforcement.

Minnesotta Governor and 2024 vice presidential candidate Tim Walz was noted as having smeared ICE agents as the “modern-day Gestapo,” a reference to the brutal German secret police under the Nazis. Chicago’s Mayor Brandon Johnson also claimed ICE agents were “secret police” and “terrorizing our communities.”

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ), currently being prosecuted for personally interfering with federal law enforcement, has said “we are at war” and told her supporters in Washington, D.C. to “shut down the city.”

The White House said the rise in attacks on law enforcement is a “direct consequence of dangerous, inflammatory rhetoric from Democrat politicians,” adding, “ICE agents risk their lives to secure our borders and protect our communities.”

Meanwhile, ICE continues to make arrests of dangerous illegal alien criminals, including child rapists and violent offenders. With a surge of new funding for immigration enforcement now that President Donald J. Trump has signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Border Czar Tom Homan is targeting as many as 7,000 arrests per day.
