Apple pulls ICE tracking apps after DOJ raises officer safety concerns

By Misty Severi | Just the News Attorney General Pam Bondi and her Justice Department raised the concern about the safety of ICE agents to Apple earlier Thursday and asked the company to remove the ICEBlock app, which uses crowdsourcing to report ICE movements. Apple confirmed Thursday that it has removed multiple Immigration and Customs Enforcement tracking apps from its app store over concern about the safety of ICE agents amid an increase in violent attacks on ICE officers. The removal comes shortly after the suspect in a shooting at a Dallas ICE facility last month allegedly researched the app before the Sept. 24 shooting. The suspect, who allegedly intended to target ICE agents, killed two detainees. Attorney General Pam Bondi said the Justice Department raised the co...

GOP Warns Democrats’ Budget Plan Redirects Billions to Noncitizens

By Amanda Head | Just the News The Democrats' own proposal seeks to repeal the section of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that ends healthcare for aliens. At midnight Tuesday, the government shut down. Prior to the deadline, Republicans passed their budget proposal out of the House of Representatives, but Senate Democrats, along with Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, shot it down, 55-45.  While Republicans have branded this the "Schumer Shutdown," blame-slinging began months ago when negotiations commenced to avert the budget showdown.  The clarity of Democrats' desire to give illegal immigrants free healthcare is abundant, as evidenced by every single Democratic nominee eagerly raising their hand in support of the policy at the June 2019 ...

Riley Gaines lawsuit advances as NCAA ordered to produce evidence

By Greg Piper | Just the News Female athletes "actually allege a clearer connection" between the NCAA and Defense Department funding for concussion research, making the NCAA subject to Title IX, than the precedents they rely on, judge says. The NCAA has a "Grand Alliance" with the Department of Defense to study concussions among "more than 53,000 student athletes and service academy cadets & midshipmen." That relationship could knock the student athletics nonprofit into a far-reaching settlement with female athletes who claim it's bound by Title IX via the DoD and committed sex discrimination against them by letting males compete in their sports on the basis of gender identity. A federal judge refused to wholly dismiss the lawsuit against the NCAA by 19 ...

Hamas Faces Historic Choice as Trump Pushes Middle East Peace Deal

By Amanda Head | Just the News "It must be done," said Israeli PM Netanyahu. The ball is now in Hamas' court, but there's a plan to move forward even if Hamas does not agree. On Monday, President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a peace plan to end their conflict with Gaza. Hamas must now agree to the terms.  "This can be done the easy way or the hard way, but it must be done," Netanyahu said in a statement to the press at the White House. The plan received praise from Republican members of Congress, but also from unexpected sources like the Palestinian government, which serves as the bureaucratic arm of Gaza governance. Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wisc., told Just The News, "Think about when President Trump went to the Arabic cou...

FBI Says Michigan Church Shooting Was Targeted Attack Leaving Four Dead

By Nicholas Ballasy | Just the News Multiple victims have been injured in a shooting at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan, on Sunday, according to police.

Newly Released Report Reveals 274 FBI Agents Deployed to Capitol on Jan. 6

By John Solomon and Steven Richards | Just the News Hidden for four years, an after-action report on FBI's involvement in Jan. 6 riot found by Director Patel shows dozens of agents feared that the FBI had become "woke" and "liberally biased." The FBI secretly deployed more than 250 plainclothes agents to the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, an operation so disorganized it unleashed searing frustrations among many of the FBI's rank-and-file that the bureau had lost its core competencies to "wokeness" and allowed its employees to become “pawns in a political war,” according to an after-action report kept from the public for more than four years. Scores of FBI agents and personnel – many from the bureau’s premier Washington field office (WFO) – sent anonymous complaints to ...

Antifa’s history is not what its defenders claim

By Jerry Dunleavy | Just the News The U.S.-based Antifa movement has embraced the label and symbols of Germany's "Antifaschistische Aktion" — a Communist group whose actions enabled the Nazis to take power. The modern iteration of the militant Antifa movement draws its name, symbolism, and inspiration from Antifaschistische Aktion — a project of the German Communist Party in the 1920s and 1930s which targeted center-left parties as the true fascist enemy and aided in the rise to power of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. Antifaschistische Aktion was founded in 1932 by the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), which viciously opposed the more moderate leftist Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), dividing the opposition and directly contributing to the successful rise of the Nationa...

DHS Boosts Security at ICE Sites After Deadly Dallas Attack

By Misty Severi | Just The News “For months, we’ve been warning politicians and the media to tone down their rhetoric about ICE law enforcement before someone was killed," Tricia McLaughlin said. "This shooting must serve as a wake-up call to the far-left that their rhetoric about ICE has consequences." The Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday that it was "immediately"increasing security at its Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities following the attack hours earlier at a facility in Dallas. The alleged shooter, identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, killed one detainee and injured two others before killing himself. Joe Rothrock, special agent in charge of the FBI Dallas field office, said during a press conference that Jahn wrote anti-ICE messages on the...

Trump Calls Out UN Failures in Fiery Speech Against Globalism

By Just the News staff | Just the News Representatives from several nations met in New York ahead of the Tuesday event as part of a summit to reaffirm support for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Nations supporting the idea have yet to explain how it would work. President Donald Trump’s Tuesday speech to the United Nations General Assembly saw him excoriate the international body as ineffective and forecast Washington putting more distance between itself and the UN. Trump accused the United Nations of leaving the job of peacekeeping to him, highlighting the many global conflicts that he resolved in the first seven months of his presidency. Among those, Trump managed to speedily resolve conflicts between India and Pakistan, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Rwanda a...
