FRANCE – PARIS — French lawmakers toppled Prime Minister François Bayrou’s minority government on Monday evening, thrusting the country deeper into a political crisis that will force President Emmanuel Macron to name a fifth premier in less than two years.

In July, U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong (Biden Appointee) ruled that ICE agents were conducting “roving patrols” within Los Angels and making arrests without “reasonable suspicion” that their targets were in the country illegally. Frimpong then prohibited immigration officials in the Los Angeles area from using race, location targeting, language, affiliations and other commonsense measures to stop and question suspected illegal aliens.

Today, in a 6-3 ruling the Supreme Court put a stay on the lower court order and essentially unrestricted the ICE and CBP officials so they can carry out their immigration enforcement efforts. Judge Bret Kavanaugh wrote the concurring opinion of the majority. [COURT RULING HERE] The DEI Justices Kagan, Sotomayor and Brown (gay, latina, black) once again dissented.

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court has lifted restrictions that barred the Trump administration from carrying out immigration-related raids in the Los Angeles area based on broad criteria such as speaking Spanish or gathering at locations day laborers often congregate.

23-year-old Iryna Zarutska fled the war in Ukraine in 2022; she came to the United States and lived in North Carolina.  On August 22nd after finishing her shift at Zepeddie’s Pizza, a Charlotte North Carolina restaurant, she boarded a light rail train to head home.

While minding her own business and sitting on a seat scrolling her telephone, a career criminal named Decarlos Brown Jr (35), took a knife out of his pocket, stood up behind Ms Zarutska and then plunged the knife into her neck and throat. Iryna Zarutska bleed to death on the spot.  She was killed for being white.

Ms Zarutska survived a war zone only to end up dead on a train in North Carolina as a result of political correctness and leftist urban policies that allow criminals to roam the streets looking for their next victim. The media has been largely silent on the attack, and Charlotte’s democrat Mayor has thanked the media for not sharing the story.

After killing Ms. Zarutska, Decarlos Brown Jr. walked to the front of the train, took off his bloodied hoodie, then walked away from the train. Brown was later arrested again; this is the fourteenth time he was arrested.
