DHS crushes Democrat for claiming preschool teacher was detained without warrant in front of children
A Democratic congressman tried to criticize a deportation operation, but the Department of Homeland Security said he was “deliberately misrepresenting” the incident.
Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.) posted a video on Wednesday of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents dragging a woman out of a preschool.
‘ICE law enforcement did NOT target a daycare and were only at this location because the female illegal alien fled inside.’
“ICE isn’t going after the worst of the worst. This morning, they took a preschool teacher without a warrant IN FRONT OF CHILDREN in my district,” he added to the post.
Only hours later, DHS responded from its official social media account and completely undermined Quigley’s version of the incident.
“Congressman, you are deliberately misrepresenting the facts,” the agency wrote. “ICE law enforcement did NOT target a daycare and were only at this location because the female illegal alien fled inside.”
DHS said that officers were trying to perform a “targeted traffic stop” of the female because she was an illegal alien from Colombia. The driver of the car refused to pull over, and the officers gave chase.
The couple abandoned the car at a shopping mall and then went into the day care and preschool.
“They ran into a daycare and attempted to barricade themselves inside the daycare — recklessly endangering the children inside,” the statement continued. “The illegal alien female was arrested inside a vestibule, not in the school. Upon arrest, she lied about her identity.”

“Facts including criminality and information on the male assailant are forthcoming and we will update the public with more information as soon as it becomes available,” DHS added.
Quigley responded with just two words.
“They’re lying,” he wrote.
A WGN-TV report claimed to confirm that a day care teacher had been detained from the Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center in Chicago. The school indicated in a statement that the officers did not present a warrant and were following the woman, who was arriving for work.

Newly elected Idaho mayor says ‘evil’ far right took his comments out of context to appear as if he hates Christians
The newly elected mayor of Coeur d’Alene in Idaho was accused of making hateful comments against Christians in a video spliced together from the many rants he posted to social media.
Councilman Dan Gookin garnered 34.2% of the vote to defeat the incumbent mayor as well two other opponents. Gookin had been a member of the city council since 2011 and ran as a Republican but has a history of tangling with the local GOP.
‘I admit that my language is salty. For that I apologize. I am a passionate man. I get worked up, especially when extremists are trying to destroy my community.’
After Gookin won the mayoral election, a video of his comments about Christians resurfaced on social media. The video contains multiple clips, many of which are unrelated phrases.
“Christians, they tend to be the rudest, most disrespectful jerks I have ever seen,” he said in the video.
“I seriously think if Jesus were here today he would have a message for everyone who’s a Christian, and he would just say, ‘Get the f**k!” he says in another clip.
The Kootenai County Republican Central Committee reposted the video in Oct. 2024 along with a statement of condemnation.
We have received multiple complaints from community members regarding Dan Gookin, Precinct Committeeman, Coeur d’Alene City Councilman, “North Idaho Republican” member. … It has been reported that he has engaged in verbally abusive behavior towards Christians, including the use of insults and defamation. The KCRCC rejects ALL forms of racial, religious, sexual, and political supremacy; and ALL political violence; and ALL political weaponization of mislabels.
However, Gookin responded at that time with a video explaining the context of many of the spliced clips and showed that they were misleading.
For instance, the second comment quoted was actually from a rant against Facebook but was cut off to make it appear that he was simply criticizing Christians.
“I seriously think if Jesus were here today he would have a message for everyone who’s a Christian, and he would say, ‘Get the f**k off Facebook!'” reads the full quote in context.
He said that some of the other clips had to do with comments he saw from people identifying as Christians but mocking the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
“It’s obvious to anyone with a brain that this stuff is taken out of context! But the far right lack brains,” Gookin said.
“I admit that my language is salty. For that I apologize. I am a passionate man. I get worked up, especially when extremists are trying to destroy my community,” he adds.
He went on to post other clips with more context.
“I’m sure the Pharisees back in Judea would have loved this technology and used it to take Christ’s teachings out of context and do a video like the local far right has done to me,” he continued. “Evil hasn’t changed much in 2,000 years.”

Gookin complimented the voters for choosing to elect him mayor.
“The citizens of Coeur d’Alene made a good decision, and I look forward to serving them,” he said.
In Oct. 2023, the KCRCC sued Gookin for defamation related to accusations of “money laundering, election fraud, and campaign finance violations.” That lawsuit was dropped after they reached a mediated settlement to receive $25,000 from Gookin’s insurance company.
Gookin also defended a local ice cream shop from critics who attacked it for showing support for Charlie Kirk after his assassination.

America’s longest shutdown breaks records and starves Americans
Americans across the country are overwhelming food bank and hunger relief organization lines after SNAP benefits were halted on November 1 — with nearly 42 million Americans losing their benefits all at once.
In Phoenix, one woman waiting in a devastatingly long line at St. Mary’s Food Bank told a reporter that she wants the men and women in Washington, D.C., to “hurry up and get the job done” and “worry about the people, not about themselves.”
Reportedly, 900,000 Arizonans were gearing up to lose their benefits.
And in Los Angeles County it’s even worse, as over 1 million families are on EBT — which is out of 3.2 million families total, amounting to about one-third of the population.
However, two U.S. judges have ordered the Department of Agriculture to release contingency funding to restart the SNAP benefits, but those funds may not reach families who are hungry for up to a week.
“Our elected officials are letting us down because, you know, we vote and put these people in office, and they tend to get a personal vendetta going with each other and forget about the main thing, which is the people,” one woman in L.A. County told a reporter for the Los Angeles Times.
Because of the amount of people on EBT, the food banks helping out are expecting to run out of food.
“That is not sustainable,” executive producer of “Pat Gray Unleashed” Keith Malinak comments, shocked. “Even in good times.”
“That’s staggering,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray agrees.
