NYC’s first major immigration raids kick off under Trump crackdown, nabbing violent murderers and kidnappers

By Joe Marino, Isabel Keane, David Propper, and Kevin Sheehan | New York Post It’s on.  Heavily armed federal immigration agents swept through the Big Apple in the dark early Tuesday, nabbing accused illegal-migrant killers and traffickers in the first deportation raids under President Donald Trump’s crackdown.  New Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, donning a protective vest, joined agents from Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the series of early-morning lighting raids that began with busts in The Bronx.  Noem attended a pre-raid tactical meeting wearing a rose gold Rolex Daytona watch, and filed into an armored BearCat SWAT vehicle with HSI agents as they shuttled between locations. ...

ICE arrests irate Haitian gang member, murder and rape suspects in Boston

By Isabel Keane | New York Post Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers hit the ground running this week, arresting multiple violent offenders in sanctuary cities, including a hostile Haitian gang member with a lengthy rap sheet who said he “ain’t going back to Haiti” and raged “F*** Trump, Biden forever!” ICE officers in Boston made eight noteworthy arrests, including multiple MS-13 gang members, murder and rape suspects and the Haitian gang member, with 18 recent convictions, according to Fox News, who rode along with ICE for the arrests. There was also at least one “collateral” arrest where ICE took an illegal immigrant who wasn’t their initial target into custody, with the arrest in Boston being of an MS-13 gang member who had been released by the sanctuary city on Tuesda...

Trump admin orders federal employees in DEI offices to be placed on paid leave as agencies wind down diversity initiatives

By Victor Nava | New York Post The Trump administration on Tuesday ordered all federal employees working on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives to be placed on paid leave as government agencies work to shutter DEI offices.  The Office of Personnel Management, the government’s top human resources agency, informed federal department heads in a memo that DEI program employees must be notified by 5 p.m. Wednesday that their administrative leave is “effective immediately.”  The memo further directs federal agencies to take down all “outward facing media” — such as webpages and social media accounts — focused on DEI programs, cancel all employee diversity trainings and terminate any DEI-related contracts by the same deadline.  READ THE FULL ...

Supreme Court unanimously upholds forced sale of TikTok from Chinese parent company

By Josh Christenson | The New York Post The US Supreme Court unanimously upheld a law Friday that would force TikTok’s sale from a Chinese state-owned firm, even as President Biden and President-elect Donald Trump have sought to block the divestment. The nine justices ordered the qualified divestment by Jan. 19 of the California-based social media platform from Beijing-based ByteDance. “There is no doubt that, for more than 170 million Americans, TikTok offers a distinctive and expansive outlet for expression, means of engagement, and source of community,” read the key portion of the unsigned opinion.

Goodwin: Perpetual screwup Joe Biden spins and stumbles on his way out of the White House

By Michael Goodwin | Commentary, New York Post In his last week in office, Joe Biden is making a farewell tour of speeches to try to put a shine on his legacy.  It would be a tall order in any event, but because the president is a perpetual screwup, his effort is going off the rails.  Instead of polishing his record, he’s inadvertently highlighting what a total failure he’s been and why voters were right to elect Donald Trump.  Even as Biden paints himself as a big success, a Gallup survey captures the truth: Large majorities say America has gone backward in key areas during his watch.

Map reveals house-by-house devastation of deadly LA fires with entire neighborhoods nearly wiped out

By Patrick Reilly | New York Post Shocking new maps show the utter destruction wrought by the deadly Palisades and Eaton fires in Los Angeles, offering a house-by-house view of impacted neighborhoods – some of which were nearly leveled completely. The two largest wildfires in the L.A. area have destroyed more than 12,000 structures and killed at least 24 people — and are expected to grow again this week as strong winds fuel the flames. An aerial view of the areas devastated by the Palisades Fire, which has torched over 23,000 acres and killed at least eight people since Tuesday, shows entire neighborhoods in some of City of Angel’s most exclusive zip codes burned to the ground near the Pacific Ocean.

Trump warns Hamas ‘all hell will break out’ if it doesn’t release hostages before he takes office

By Ryan King | New York Post President-elect Donald Trump starkly warned Hamas to release the remaining hostages before Inauguration Day or else “all hell will break out,” without elaborating on a specific response. Hamas is currently believed to have 101 hostages, including seven Americans, at least three of whom are thought to be dead, and Trump has long threatened repercussions for the terror group if it fails to release them. “It will not be good for Hamas, and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone,” Trump, 78, warned during a press conference in Mar-a-Lago Tuesday.
