Charges against a man were dismissed. Then a Philly police officer escorted him into ICE custody.
A judge had dismissed charges against the Dominican National when, according to his lawyer, court and sheriff staff said he was wanted by ICE officers. A Philly police officer then stepped in.
My Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — feed was full of chortling posts claiming that the Vatican denied Vice President J D Vance a meeting with Pope Francis, sending the Vatican’s second-ranking official instead, in what the left loudly proclaimed was a deliberate snub to Mr Vance.
That’s not quite what it was.
The story behind JD Vance’s unlikely visit with Pope Francis
Vance and Francis had publicly disagreed in recent months on immigration policies and other aspects of church teaching.
There were so many interesting headlines in today’s news that it has been difficult for me to choose just one on which to write.
But, as always, there is the newspaper that I frequently refer to as The Philadelphia Enquirer, which is not actually spelled that way. RedState writer Mike Miller called it the Enquirer, probably by mistake, so I didn’t originate it, but, reminiscent of the National Enquirer as it is, I think it very apt. And this morning, it was opinion columnist Jenice Armstrong, one of the Usual Suspects:
Her husband was outside, yelling for her when ICE grabbed him. She hasn’t seen him in person since.

One of President Trump’s main campaign promises was to close the border to illegal immigration. It’s easier to intercept and interrupt illegal border crossing than it is to round up illegal immigrants already in the United States, and that policy is absolutely working. Not only are the Border Patrol undertaking stronger efforts to stop the illegals from crossing, but the President’s policies have discouraged many more from even trying.
The Los Angeles Times is one of America’s (formerly) great newspapers, and of an extremely liberal editorial slant. But even that newspaper has to tell the truth sometimes:
California-Mexico border, once overwhelmed, now nearly empty
The murder of Laken Riley by José Antonio Ibarra, an illegal immigrant released into the US by Customs and Border Patrol during the Biden Administration because the surge in apprehended border crossers had worsened to a point where they did not have enough space at a detention facility to hold him, was a rare, rare event, certainly nothing over which to criticize our 46th President’s compassionate immigration policies. Such criticism was inflamed by the evil reich-wing former President Donald Trump, for political gain, don’t you know.

I cannot truthfully say that I have noticed everything that the newspaper I sometimes call The Philadelphia Enquirer[1]RedState writer Mike Miller called it the Enquirer, probably by mistake, so I didn’t originate it, but, reminiscent of the National Enquirer as it is, I thought it very apt. has published on immigration, but I can truthfully state that if our nation’s third oldest continuously published daily newspaper, the winner of twenty Pulitzer Prizes, the newspaper of record for the six million plus metropolitan area, and the first newspaper I check in the morning, has ever published anything trying to help illegal immigrants get legal, I have missed it.

The old-line newspapers only rarely publish outright lies. Rather, their bias — and they all have an editorial bias! — shows not in actual reporting, but in what they choose to report, and choose not to cover.
And so it is with The Philadelphia Enquirer. No, that’s not how it’s actually spelled, but RedState writer Mike Miller called it the Enquirer, probably by mistake, so I didn’t originate it. However, reminiscent of the National Enquirer as it is, I thought it very apt.
Well, the Inquirer, to use the proper spelling, loves them some illegal immigration, and naturally the newspaper’s website main page was filled with such stories on Sunday morning: Continue reading
If illegal immigrants are now staying away from work, because they are afraid that ICE will show up, nab them, and deport them, doesn’t that mean:
