[DM] 'Home Depot-style ICE raids' nixed as border patrol 'changes tactics to focus on illegal migrants wanted for serious offenses'
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is to change their tactics involving raids across the country, sources have said.
Instead of sweeping raids that agents have carried out at locations including Home Depot, agents will now hone in on immigrants wanted for serious offenses.
A source confirmed the change in tact to NewsNation, saying that teams under Commander Gregory Bovino would be responsible for the targeted operations.
The source said that despite the changes, targeted operations already underway including Operation Catahoula Crunch in New Orleans would continue as normal.
So far that operation in the Louisiana city has resulted in around 250 arrests in the last week. The DHS said the end goal is 5,000 arrests.
Operation Catahoula Crunch was launched last week with Border Patrol having moved 250 agents to the city.
According to a statement from DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, some of those arrested have rap sheets including, homicide, child abuse and kidnapping.
She said: 'In just 24 hours on the ground, our law enforcement officers have arrested violent criminals with rap sheets that include homicide, kidnapping, child abuse, robbery, theft, and assault.'
A similar operation was also rolled out in Charlotte, North Carolina, last month, named 'Operation Charlotte's Web.'
The DHS said that in just two days on the ground they managed to arrest over 130 illegal immigrants.
Forty-four of those individuals had criminal records that included aggravated assault, assault on a police officer, battery and hit-and-run.
The operations have been visible across Los Angeles and Chicago for the majority of the year, with the raids typically being met with widespread protests.
Just last week residents in Chicago were seen throwing snowballs at agents before the streets of the city were filled with tear gas to combat protestors.
The incident unfolded on Saturday in Elgin, Illinois, an hour outside of the Windy City as a crowd of anti-ICE protestors took to the streets.
Federal agents descended on the city as part of Operation Midway Blitz in early September, and have turned their attention to the city's suburbs.
Video of the dystopian clash has circulated on social media showing residents, some with gas masks on, scooping up icy snow and hurling it at officials.
Several emergency sirens rang out in the background as another man, dressed in gray sweatpants and black hoodie, charged at agents with snowballs in his hand.
Earlier this month Donald Trump unleashed ICE raids in Minnesota to target Somalian illegal immigrants in the state.
Sources said that the president moved to have strike teams made up of DHS agents and other federal officers will be deployed in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul region.
[FoxNews] Operation Metro Surge targets illegal immigrants with criminal convictions including rape and assault
As Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz faces a burgeoning fraud scandal involving the Twin Cities' Somali community, the Department of Homeland Security announced it had made 400 arrests as part of its "Operation Metro Surge" in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Walz recently urged DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to review recent arrests and pointed to reported incidents of U.S. citizens being swept up in the raids. DHS has rejected those claims, noting that a woman named "Sue" whom Walz highlighted had been arrested on charges of assaulting a federal officer.
"Tim Walz and Jacob Frey failed to protect the people of Minnesota," Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital in regard to the hundreds of illegal immigrants who have been arrested. "They let these monsters and child predators roam free."
McLaughlin said that among the 400 arrests were illegal immigrants charged with or convicted of rape, pedophilia and other violent crimes.
The top illegal immigrant on the "worst of the worst" list shared with Fox News Digital was Burmese national Ban Du La Sein. Sein was previously convicted of criminal sexual conduct using force or coercion in Nobles County; not far from the border with Noem’s South Dakota.
Sein had been under an order of removal for more than 10 years when he was apprehended in the Twin Cities sweep, DHS said.
Vannaleut Keomany, a Laotian illegal immigrant, was convicted on two counts of rape in Ohio and sentenced to seven years in prison. He also was under a longstanding order of removal stretching back to 2009.
One of the Somali nationals caught in the operation was Liban Ali Osman, who had been convicted of robbery in Ohio.
Other illegal immigrants netted in the operation thus far include Somvang Phrachansiry, from Laos, who was convicted of third-degree criminal sexual conduct and second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon.
Phrachansiry had previously been sentenced to eight years and six months and has been on the order-of-removal list since the second Bush administration.
Another Laotian national, Por Moua, had been sentenced to more than a dozen years combined for crimes including first-degree great bodily harm, third-degree sexual conduct, sexual intercourse with a child and false imprisonment.
Moua has had a final order of removal from the U.S. since Bill Clinton was president.
One day later, ICE announced it had arrested eight Somali immigrants as part of the sweep, according to the ABC affiliate in San Angelo, Texas.
[YouTube] Obama's Chief Financial Director for the DEA, has been indicted for a plot to launder $12 million for the Mexican Drug Cartels
Paul Campo, who resigned in 2016 right before the first Trump administration, had his Virginia home raided and has been charged for agreeing to launder the money for the CJNG, a Mexican drug cartel, while acting in his role at the DEA
The wonderful thing about this story about these two terribly clever, important people, is that they never talked to anyone from the narco gang. It was all federal informants. How stupid they must have felt when this fact was revealed. And life in prison is a real possibility for being so willing to turn to the dark side.
The CJNG has been designated as a foreign terrorist group.
According to an unsealed indictment, the 61-year-old, and his associate Robert Sensi, 75, of Boca Raton, Florida, face charges including:
#florida
🔷️Narcoterrorism conspiracy,
🔷️Narcotics distribution conspiracy,
🔷️Providing material support to a terrorist organization, and
🔷️Money laundering conspiracy, according to the indictment
He faces life in prison if convicted.
Campo retired from the DEA in January 2016 after a 25-year career that included briefing Congress on money laundering threats and representing the agency before international bodies like INTERPOL.
He allegedly leveraged his expertise to help the cartel. Prosecutors say the scheme started in late 2024, when Campo was introduced (by Sensi) to a confidential source posing as a CJNG member.
The pair agreed to convert cartel drug money into cryptocurrency, invest in real estate, and facilitate cocaine trafficking in New York City.
According to the indictment:
🔷️Campo and Sensi laundered about $750,000 by converting cash into cryptocurrency, believing it to be CJNG money.
🔷️They agreed to launder a total of $12 million and provided payment for 220 kilos of cocaine, valued at $5 million, in exchange for a share of the profits.
🔷️Discussions involved sharing sensitive DEA information on investigations and sources, as well as procuring weapons like AR-15 rifles, M4 carbines, grenade launchers, and rocket-propelled grenades for the cartel.
🔷️Campo reportedly flashed his DEA badge during meetings and offered to act as a "strategist" for the group, bragging about his role overseeing the agency's global money laundering operations.

I remember a relative who was forced by Prez. Carter, at the beginning of Carter's term, to be an acting DEA TZAR. His first day on that job took about 3 hours of security test before he could get to his desk. He had not even gotten introduced to his secretary or a notebook on his desk when the secretary walked in and said: "There are some people here you must talk to NOW!" In walked the MAFIA. He exited that job as soon as he could. DEA has been compromised at least as far back as that. Maybe even under Prez Ford.

Niger-Uranium: Russian Ship in Lomé, Uranium Convoy Blocked, What We Know!
The Russian ship MATROS SHEVCHENKO left the port of Lomé
…the capital of Togo…
after entering it on December 1st last. It departed on December 8th without unloading anything, before remaining offshore.
According to observations, the ship would have reserved its berth at the port to await the arrival of the famous uranium convoy from Niger. The delay of the latter forced it to leave the port once its berthing window had expired.
Meanwhile, the uranium convoy itself remains at a standstill. The trucks are stationed at Base 101 in Niamey, with no departures scheduled. Initially, the route was supposed to go through Benin. But with the failure of the coup attempt in Benin against President Talon, the plans have, inevitably, changed. The only remaining route, via Burkina Faso, is now being considered.
PS: The trucks that were blocking the Niger-Benin bridge were removed on the eve of the coup attempt, which heightens suspicions of possible involvement by Tiani and the Nigerien junta in this attempt to destabilize Benin.

UPDATE: AFC/M23’s advance is accelerating. After securing Uvira, the forces pushed south and took Mboko 56 km into the Fizi axis. Their movement now stretches past Burundi, heading toward the Tanganyika–Tanzania border, with a clear pathway toward Zambia.
At this pace, the entire southern and eastern flank of Congo could soon be inaccessible to support from Burundi, Tanzania, or Zambia.

THE NIGER STATE STUDENTS KIDNAPPING: UNPACKING THE LIKELY LAKURAWA–SADIKU TENSIONS

cell, responsible for abducting the Papiri students in Niger State, avoided keeping all the students in one location and also deliberately refrained from moving them to their primary camp because of the sustained pressure the group has faced in recent months from Dogo Gide.

So, the students were divided into groups, with one group of about 50 students transferred to Lakurawa’s

camp, a further confirmation of the operational alliance between Lakurawa and JAS.
When the abduction happened, including the transfer to Lakurawa camp, however, Amir Tajudeen, the group’s Nigeria head, was in Kebbi for the group’s 19 November Mawlid celebration. In his absence, one of his senior commanders, Kachalla Ubaidu, granted JAS the permission to bring the students into the camp.
By the time Tajudeen returned from Kebbi, the students had already been settled there. Unknown to Lakurawa, the Nigerian military surveillance had traced the girls to the location, prompting the 3 December offensive that resulted in the deaths of more than 40 Lakurawa fighters, the destruction of the camp and its logistical assets, and the flight of Tajudeen and some of his men to Ngaski in Kebbi. Tajudeen reacted angrily, holding Ubaidu responsible for compromising their security by accepting the students without first seeking clearance from him. This breach led Tajudeen to order Ubaidu’s execution.

[IsraelTimes] Palestine Action says 2 arrested for vandalism meant to highlight hunger-striking members of proscribed group being detained over assault on Elbit facility
Two activists from anti-Israel group Paleostine Action were reportedly arrested Friday in central London after spraying a Ministry of Justice building with red paint to demand that Justice Minister David Lammy agree to meet with fellow activists currently on hunger strike.
The two suspects were protesting the treatment of eight Paleostine Action activists, who have been held in jug for more than a year before trial and have been conducting hunger strikes ranging from nine to forty days, they told the Guardian. Five have been hospitalized.
In a video posted online, one activist said that the group has tried to meet with Lammy but that he "continues to ignore the friends and family, the lawyers of the hunger strikers. He ignores the fact that their lives are [in] imminent danger."
Several Paleostine Action activists have been arrested in the last year and are awaiting trial.
More than 2,000 people have since been arrested for holding signs in support of the group, with over 200 charged for expressing support for a proscribed organization with placards reading: "I oppose genocide, I support Paleostine Action.
Six are on trial over what prosecutors have described as a meticulously planned assault by the group on the Elbit Systems UK facility in Bristol, southwest England, in August 2024. They are being charged with aggravated burglary, violent mostly peaceful disorder and criminal damage, with one also charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent for allegedly hitting a police officer with a sledgehammer.
Another five Paleostine Action activists have been charged after breaking into an air force base in southern England and causing an estimated £7 million ($9.3 million) of damage to two aircraft in July. A trial is scheduled for January 2027.
Britannia’s then-interior minister Yvette Cooper moved to proscribe the group as a terror organization shortly after the planes were targeted in June 2025, a designation now being challenged in court.
Paleostine Action was founded in 2020 and gained prominence with protests targeting Israeli defense companies and British firms linked to them. It stepped up its actions during the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... war, sparked by the Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... massacre in Israel on October 7, 2023.
More than 2,000 people have since been arrested for holding signs in support of the group, with over 200 charged for expressing support for a proscribed organization with placards reading: "I oppose genocide, I support Paleostine Action.

[Regnum] F-35A Lightning II fighters from the 158th Fighter Wing of the Vermont Air National Guard are heading to the Caribbean to participate in Operation Southern Spear. This was reported on December 11 by The War Zone. Happy hunting, guys!
"This move will be the latest buildup of US forces in the region to carry out the mission of countering drugs and putting pressure on Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro," a US official told the publication.
According to him, the exact number of fighter jets, their arrival time, and final destination have not been specified. However, a likely base could be the former US Naval Air Station Roosevelt Roads in Puerto Rico, which is already used as a staging point for US aircraft and troops in the Caribbean.
In November, the Pentagon launched a new military operation, Southern Spear, against narco-terrorist groups in the Western Hemisphere. US President Donald Trump announced the closure of airspace over Venezuela and did not rule out strikes against drug cartels in Colombia and Mexico.
[JerusalemPost] The ship was boarded on the Indian Ocean a month ago, with military equipment being seized, officials revealed to the Wall Street Journal.
US forces seized a Chinese cargo headed to Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... as part of an operation to disrupt the rearming of Iranian regime forces, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.
The ship was boarded on the Indian Ocean a month ago, and several pieces of military equipment were seized, officials revealed to the US newspaper.
The previously undisclosed operation occured near the coast of Sri Lanka, with US operatives tracking the weapons shipment and intercepting it before letting the vessel continue on its way.
This marks the first time in years that the US military intercepted a Chinese-origin vessel en route to Iran.
The name of the ship and its owner were not identified in the report.
CHINA-IRAN RELATIONS
On October 29, CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... reported that Iran was rebuilding its missile capabilities with aid from China, despite the guidance of United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... sanctions.
European intelligence sources told CNN that Iran received shipments containing over 2,000 tons of sodium perchlorate, which can be used for both civilian purposes and also as a key ingredient in the production of ammonium perchlorate.
Ammonium perchlorate is an oxidizer used in a solid fuel propellant to build Iranian ballistic missiles.
In late September, the United Nations reimposed “snapback” sanctions on Iran, aiming to halt and prevent any Iranian operations related to creating weapons with nuclear capabilities.
US forces boarded the ship several hundred miles off the coast of Sri Lanka, according to the newspaper, which added the vessel was later allowed to proceed.
According to the report, the shipment consisted of dual-use items — ones with potential applications in civilian and military fields — that could be used in Iran’s missile program. The report cited an American official as saying US intelligence indicated the shipment was headed for Iranian companies known to be intermediaries for the country’s missile development efforts.
The action was part of a campaign by the US Defense Department to cut off Iran’s covert arms supply networks.
In a separate incident, Iran seized an oil tanker it claimed was illegally transporting Iranian fuel in the Gulf of Oman, Iranian media said overnight Friday to Saturday, adding that 18 crew members from India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh were on board.
“An oil tanker carrying six million liters of contraband diesel fuel has been boarded off the coast of the Sea of Oman,” the Fars news agency said, quoting an official from the southern province of Hormozgan.
“The vessel had disabled all its navigation systems.”
Iranian forces regularly announce the interception of ships it says are illegally transporting fuel in the Gulf.
Retail fuel prices in Iran are among the lowest in the world, making smuggling it to other countries particularly profitable.
Iran seized an oil tanker in Gulf waters last month “for carrying an unauthorized cargo,” dismissing suggestions it was a retaliatory measure against another country.
The latest interception came two days after the United States seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela.
According to Washington, the ship’s captain was transporting oil from Venezuela and Iran. The US Treasury sanctioned Venezuela in 2022 for alleged ties to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Hezbollah.
“The seizure of this vessel highlights our successful efforts to impose costs on the governments of Venezuela and Iran,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement on Friday.
Sources told Reuters that the US is preparing to intercept more ships transporting Venezuelan oil.
[Rudaw] Suspected Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) Lions of Islam attacked the home of a village chieftain in Salahaddin province late Thursday, killing him, a local official told Rudaw.
The victim was identified as Fakhri al-Abbasi, whose family had also been targeted by the group in previous attacks.
"The victim was the mukhtar of a village within the Samarra district, and he was a Sunni," Kawa Shekhani, advisor to the governor of Salahaddin, told Rudaw on Friday.
He added that "all members of his family, except for one son, were killed by ISIS" in earlier assaults.
The press office of Salahaddin Governor Badr al-Fahl condemned the killing as "a cowardly terrorist act," stressing that "the blood of the deaders will not go in vain."
Shekhani said that following the governor’s directives, security forces were immediately ordered to launch an investigation into the attack.
In a separate statement, the governor’s office said security forces in the area bear responsibility for the "dangerous security breach," urging agencies to intensify efforts to uncover the circumstances of the incident and bring the perpetrators to justice.
[IsraelTimes] Two teenage Israeli boys and two Israeli adults were lightly injured by stone throwing this morning in two separate incidents in the West Bank, the Magen David Adom ambulance service says.
In the first incident, at around 10 a.m., two 15-year-old boys were injured close to the West Bank settlement city of Maale Adumim, east of Jerusalem.
The two suffered light injuries to their upper bodies and received initial medical treatment at the scene before they were transferred to Shaare Zedek Medical Center, MDA says.
About 90 minutes later, MDA says it received a report about two adults, a man, 43, and a woman, 32, who were injured by stones thrown at their vehicle near a checkpoint close to the Kfar Etzion settlement.
The two were treated for minor injuries at the scene and did not require hospital treatment.
[DM] Three Americans have died after a convoy of US and Syrian soldiers came under fire while engaging in an anti-ISIS mission in the country.
A Pentagon spokesman confirmed the deaths on Saturday saying two soldiers and one civilian US interpreter were gunned down in Palmyra, with three others wounded.
The convoy was in the historic town as part of an on-going counter ISIS operation being carried out in the region.
A statement added: 'The attack occurred as the soldiers were conducting a key leader engagement.
'Their mission was in support of on-going counter-ISIS/counter-terrorism operations in the region.
'The soldiers’ names, as well as identifying information about their units, are being withheld until 24 hours after the next of kin notification. This attack is currently under active investigation.'
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said: 'The savage who perpetrated this attack was killed by partner forces.
'Let it be known, if you target Americans — anywhere in the world — you will spend the rest of your brief, anxious life knowing the United States will hunt you, find you, and ruthlessly kill you.'
According to the state-run SANA news agency those that were injured were rushed by helicopters to the Tanf garrison near the border with Iraq and Jordan.
SANA said the attacker was killed, without providing further details.
The U.S. has hundreds of troops deployed in eastern Syria as part of a coalition fighting the Islamic State group.
IS was defeated in Syria in 2019, but the group's sleeper cells still carry out deadly attacks in the country.
U.S. troops have maintained a presence in different parts of Syria including Al-Tanf garrison in the central province of Homs to train other forces as part of a broad campaign against IS.
As of June, the US had around 1,500 troops left on the ground in the country following a series of withdrawals. The number is expected to drop again by the end of the year.
The shooting on Saturday comes just over a year after former President Bashar Al-Assad fled office and departed the country, he is said to be living in Moscow, Russia.
Syrians stormed al-Assad's presidential palace in Damascus last December as rebels declared that the country was 'free' from the 'tyrant'.
A civil war erupted in 2011 with the Assad government's brutal crackdown on pro-democracy protests. The war killed more than half a million people and displaced millions.
Tens of thousands of people are still missing, many after disappearing into the former government's prisons, with families awaiting justice for Assad-era atrocities.
President Donald Trump met with the country's new leader, President Ahmed al-Sharaa, earlier this year in a trip to Saudi Arabia before welcoming him to the White House last month.
The sitdown in May was the first encounter between American and Syrian leaders in 25 years.
Sharaa, 43, is a former al-Qaeda commander who until recently was sanctioned by Washington DC as a 'specially designated global terrorist.'
The Saudi-born leader joined the terror group in Iraq just before the US invasion in 2003. He was captured by American forces and imprisoned for five years until 2011.
An opponent of longtime Syrian president Assad, Sharaa launched an 11-day attack against his regime in November 2024, triggering the collapse of the government.
Assad fled to Russia, while Sharaa assumed power and was appointed officially on January 29.
Sharaa has since traveled the world trying to depict himself as a moderate leader who wants to unify his war-ravaged nation and end its decades-long international isolation.
He has described his wife, Latifa al-Droubi, 41, as a key support for him over the last decade.
Speaking with reporters, Trump praised Sharaa as a 'strong leader' and voiced confidence in him. 'We'll do everything we can to make Syria successful,' he said.
But Trump also gave a nod to Sharaa's controversial history. 'We've all had rough pasts,' he said.

[IsraelTimes] Lebanese state media says about a dozen sites targeted, including some north of the Litani River; no casualties reported
The Israel Defense Forces said Friday that it carried out a wave of Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s in southern Leb ...The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else?... targeting Hezbollah sites, including a training facility used by the terror group’s elite Radwan Force.
It marked the second time in the past week that the IDF has struck Hezbollah sites in Lebanon.
According to the military, the Radwan Force "training and qualification compound" was used by the terror group to plan and advance attacks against Israel.
In addition, the IDF said it struck other Hezbollah sites in several areas of southern Lebanon.
"Holding military drills and establishing terror infrastructure for activity against Israel constitute a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon and a threat to the State of Israel," the military said.
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported that the "heavy raids" on Friday hit around a dozen locations, including some north of the Litani River, which runs about 30 kilometers (20 miles) north of the border with Israel.
There were no reports of casualties in the strikes.
On Tuesday, the IDF said it struck a separate Radwan training site in southern Lebanon, along with other Hezbollah sites.
Since the ceasefire, the IDF said it has killed over 370 Hezbollah operatives in strikes, hit hundreds of Hezbollah sites, and conducted over 1,200 raids and other small operations in southern Lebanon. The IDF has recently intensified its attacks, meant to stop the terror group from rebuilding, including killing Hezbollah’s chief of staff in a rare strike in Beirut last month.
Weakened by the war and still facing regular Israeli strikes, Hezbollah is under domestic and international pressure to hand over its weapons, with the Lebanese army having drawn up a plan to disarm it.
Lebanon is now under pressure to speed up the process or risk a renewed Israeli military operation. The foreign ministers of Lebanon and Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.
