==WATCH: Border Czar Tom Homan Says ICE Has Already Started Raiding Illegal Aliens: “It’s Started. ICE Teams are Out There as of Today”

by Jordan Conradson Jan. 21, 2025

On Monday, within hours of taking office, President Trump signed 42 Executive Orders, Memoranda, and Proclamations, 115 personnel actions, and over 200 executive actions, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

This includes several actions on border policy, including designating the Cartels as foreign terrorists and revoking several Biden EOs on the border, which allowed unchecked illegal immigration. Now, on day two of his second term, Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, has announced that the mass deportation efforts and illegal alien raids are underway “effective today.”

The Gateway Pundit reported on Sunday that Tom Homan said the immigration raids on sanctuary cities, including Chicago and New York, may be placed on pause after details about the plan were leaked to the media.

This comes after it was reported last week that Immigration and Customs Enforcement was preparing to launch a “big f–king operation” in sanctuary cities on Tuesday — just one day after Trump’s inauguration.

Homan later seemed to confirm the reports but also said that leaks put law enforcement officers at "great risk" and that ICE will "make a decision based on this leak."

Roberts: Based on your initial schedule, today, roundups of criminal illegal aliens in the process of deporting them would begin. That seems to have been put on hold for a little while. When can we expect that to happen? Where will it begin?

Homan: No, it’s started ICE teams are out there as of today. We gave them the direction to prioritize public safety threats that we're looking for, so we've been working on the target list. There was some discussion about Chicago because a operational plan was released, so we got to look at and reevaluate, does this raise officer safety concerns? And it does, but we've addressed that, and teams are out there effective today.

World Economic Forum: Davos Attendee Admits ‘Trump Won’ and Globalists Lost

by Kurt Zindulka 22 Jan 2025

The globalist “managerial” philosophy favoured by the European Union has lost, and Trump has “won”, a panellist at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos admitted.

A sombre mood appears to have descended upon the Swiss ski resort town. While the WEF typically hosts an orgiastic celebration of international elitism, this year’s festivities sit in the shadow of the inauguration of President Donald Trump and the rejection of neo-liberalism by the American people.

In a WEF panel discussion on the incoming administration, Yale University Professor Walter Reed said that the Davos class needs to understand “who’s won, which is Trump, but who’s lost, which is to say us.”

“Who is losing here is Europe. The European Union, and by and large, it’s member states, have misread the direction where events were going.”

“The causes that it is interested in; climate, human rights, some others, as well as the methods of diplomacy that it prefers, are simply being gradually kind of marginalized as something new — not necessarily something better — but something new, moves into the centre.”

Professor Reed pointed to a general failing at the heart of the globalist philosophy, that modern man had somehow reached the “end of history” and, therefore, merely needed a group of international bureaucrats to manage and tinker with “incremental shifts”.

“That’s not how things work and especially not how things work at this kind of moment when a technological transformation is really biting into the economy on all kinds of levels in a transformational way,” he said.

Fellow panellist Graham Allison, a political scientist and Professor of Government at Harvard University, said, “Trump has done something no person in the world has ever done before; a dead man, a dead politician has risen.”

“This is the greatest comeback in political history of a politician and then, therefore, he thinks he can do anything. There’s a supreme confidence about that,” Prof Allison said.

“This is a phenomenon that we shouldn’t try to understand only in the terms that we’re traditionally accepting. We should say something strange, new, and amazing is happening here, and we should study it.”

Although Davos is usually the hot ticket for world leaders in January, Trump also undercut the WEF by becoming the first American president to invite international leaders to attend his inauguration in Washington, D.C., this week.

While rising right-wing political stars such as Argentine President Javier Milei and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni attended the swearing-in ceremony, other leaders of American ally nations were not as fortunate.

One such leader who did not receive an invite was German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, whose leftist government collapsed the day after Trump’s victory in November and who is widely expected to be removed from power following the federal elections in February. Adding insult to injury, in another apparent slight to Scholz, Trump did invite top members of the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

This left the German Chancellor with the consolation prize of an appearance in Davos, during which he demonstrated his censorious leanings and chastised X boss and Trump ally Elon Musk for expressing his political opinions about Germany and Europe.

“We have the freedom of speech in Europe and in Germany. Everyone can say what he wants, even if he is a billionaire. And what we do not accept is if this is supporting extreme-right positions,” Scholz said at the WEF on Tuesday.

However, it is unclear how much sway the likely outgoing Chancellor has, with a reporter from leading German newspaper Welt Holger Zschaepitz sharing a picture seeming to show the audience at Scholz’s Davos appearance being half empty.

Rather than attend the event in person this year, as he previously did in 2018 and 2020, President Trump will address the meeting virtually on Thursday.

Spain’s Socialist PM Urges World to ‘Fight Back’ Against Trump and ‘Silicon Valley Techno-Caste’

by Ben Kew Jan. 21, 2025

Spain’s socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is urging the world to “fight back” against Trump and the “Silicon Valley techno-caste.”

Speaking on Monday as Donald Trump took office for the second time, Sánchez accused American tech billionaires of “trying to use their absolute power over social media to control public debate and, therefore, government action, in the entire Western world.”

“I want to be clear and concise on this, I will say it in less than 280 characters: democracy is not one euro, one vote; it is not one tweet, one vote; it is one person, one vote,” He continued.

”Therefore, Europe must stand up to this threat and defend democracy,” he said.

While Musk Sanchez did not name any of the tech moguls by name, it was an obvious reference to Elon Musk, who has infuriated left-wing establishments around the world by purchasing Twitter and ending the censorship regime implemented under its previous leadership.

Sanchez also complained about the influence of the “international far-right” represented by leaders such as Argentina’s Javier Milei and Hungary’s Viktor Orban, whom he claims have benefited from the lack of social media censorship.

Spain’s PM Pedro Sánchez urges global rebellion against the “Silicon Valley techno-caste” threatening democracy:

It was also likely a jab at Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg, both of whom gone out their way of to mend bridges with the 47th president and who were present at the inauguration ceremony on Monday.

His warnings come as European leaders express concern at the threat Trump and a lack of online social censorship poses to their grip on power.

The Sánchez government has faced persistent criticism over allegations of corruption and eroding democratic principles.

Controversies include the alleged mismanagement of €30 million in contracts related to COVID-19 and claims of influence-peddling involving his wife, Begoña Gómez.

He has also been accused of illegally seizing control over Spain’s public broadcaster, RTVE, in an attempt to shut down criticism of his government.

Spain’s opposition leaders have been vocal in their condemnation. Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the Partido Popular, have accused Sánchez of engaging in an “anti-democratic drift.”

Meanwhile, the European People’s Party has suggested the possibility of initiating rule-of-law procedures against Sánchez’s government, though no formal actions have yet materialized.
