'Qatar Embraces the Martyr': Former Qatari Ambassador to US Praises Hamas Honcho and Vilifies 'Enemy of Humanity' Israel

 A top Qatari official who served as ambassador to the United States has repeatedly praised slain Hamas leaders as "martyrs," called on the terror group to pursue "resistance until victory," and denounced Israel as the "enemy of humanity."

Hamad bin Abdulaziz Al-Kawari—Qatar's state minister who bears the cabinet-level rank of deputy prime minister—served as the Gulf state's ambassador to the United States, France, and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization before assuming his current position. He has repeatedly used his X account to glorify Hamas and vilify Israel.

Days after Israel assassinated former Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in July 2024, Al-Kawari wrote on X that "Qatar embraces the martyr Ismail Haniyeh as a fighter" and praised Qatar for "embracing the oppressed and supporting the wronged." Haniyeh had been living in Qatar before his death.

"Whoever saw or knew the late Haniyeh knew him to be a man of pure faith, simple and approachable, a leader who was close to the people, kind-hearted, and with a smile of contentment that never left his face, even in the darkest of circumstances," the deputy prime minister continued.

Bill Gates cancels the climate apocalypse

 World Economic Forum fanboy Bill Gates broke the hearts of “climate change” communists all over the world by releasing a seventeen-page memorandum in which he concludes that “global warming” isn’t quite the threat to humanity that he and his fellow climate cultists have long alleged.  He calls for a “strategic pivot” away from endless fear-mongering over the weather.  

That’s pretty strange, given that “Big Government” Gates has long mocked reasonable people who refuse to jump on the global cooling...er, global warming...er, climate change...I mean, extreme weather bandwagon.  A decade ago, he told the world that neither representative democracy nor private-sector investments would save us from fossil fuel Armageddon.  The answer, he argued, was for communist China and Obama’s socialist United States to band together and fight the weather with bigger Big Government.  Ol’ Billy-boy was convinced that only more government regulations, more government programs, more government agencies, more government bureaucrats, and — of course! — more government spending could save the planet.

Jeffrey Epstein’s former travel companion still claims that “climate change” is “serious.”  He just wants to call off the apocalypse...for now.  He’s had a chance to think it over and has come to the conclusion that scientific innovation will likely address any problems in the future without requiring government stormtroopers to break into poor people’s homes in search of illegal electric appliances.  That’s quite a change of heart for a guy who used to argue that humans could avoid extinction only if non-billionaires lived in cubicle apartments, ate insects and synthetic “meats,” got a bajillion mRNA injections, avoided having children, shunned industry, rationed electricity, and adopted Stone Age lifestyles.

You mean there was some wiggle room in all this apocalyptic doomsaying after all?  Who knew?  Oh, just about anybody with a brain and the willingness to study the so-called “climate crisis” objectively.  Here’s one report that should make even the most devout disciples of the “green” religion wonder whether the bankers and politicians who act as “climate priests” for “Mother Earth” might have engineered a hoax in order to get eight billion slaves to do exactly what the planet’s masters wish.  Of all the things that make the Greta Thunberg jellyfishes of the “green movement” look like gelatinous blobs with more tentacles than neurons, perhaps most peculiar is their penchant for protesting the rich and powerful while hyperventilating over a carbon hoax created by the rich and powerful.  As any good carnival barker knows, there’s a sucker born every minute!

The “global warming / cooling / climate change / extreme weather” bugaboo is the most pseudo of pseudosciences making money today.  If governments weren’t paying fake academics billions of dollars in taxpayer funds to churn out patently false research papers that farcically pretend we must all be afraid of carbon dioxide (you know, the gas we humans exhale as we breathe), the risible “global warming” scam would be endlessly mocked today.  Because government grants and special interest funding have turned both university and government scientists into prestigious whores, “climate change” pseudoscience is treated as “knowledge” so sacred that its basic tenets can never be questioned.  Pop quiz, hotshots: How do you know when so-called “facts” are actually pre-packaged nuggets of propaganda?  Answer: Government-paid “experts” tell the public that the “science is settled” and that disagreement is “dangerous.”  Take it from the “experts”: The best “scientists” never question anything!

Speaking of propagandists and pretend scientists, Barack Obama told a herd of anencephalic lemmings the other day that “we’re going to have to start experimenting with new forms of journalism” and make sure that social media is used “in ways that reaffirm facts.”  “We don’t want diversity of facts,” and if we need to avoid facts that we don’t like, then “some government regulatory constraints” will be required.  

Anybody who has ever been censored online knows that Obama is just explaining how the totalitarian left intends to justify criminalizing all dissent.  But here’s my question: If “facts” can only be “reaffirmed,” and a “diversity of facts” is strictly verboten, how in the world is nerd-perv Bill Gates supposed to change his mind about the “climate” Armageddon?  Doesn’t the Emperor of Computer Viruses know that “new forms of journalism” require that we “reaffirm facts” at all times?  Perhaps “government regulatory constraints” don’t apply to billionaires.

Bill’s policy backflip does seem suspicious.  It reminds me of his embrace of nuclear power last year, an energy that climate cultists have similarly condemned for many decades as “dangerous.”  His nuclear ambitions and his sorta-kinda reconciliation with natural gas and other hydrocarbon energies appear to come just when his investments in artificial intelligence are beginning to require an enormous amount of electricity.  It’s one thing to tell the rubes to “go green” and sleep with the earthworms in sod houses.  But nobody’s allowed to keep Gangster Oligarch Gates from generating enough electricity to corner a significant market share in A.I.

The “climate” apocalypse yarn has always been a ghost story meant to make governments more powerful and citizens more fearful.  A.I. has the same goals.  So Bill went from “We’re all gonna die!” to “Drill, baby, drill!”  It’s that simple.

A little experiment: Maintain SNAP pause for 30 days to see how drastically foreign shipments drop

 Recall a 2013 exposé from the New York Post that revealed a major scam in the food stamps world: Caribbean migrants, enrolled in SNAP, were buying up non-perishable items like cereal and baby formula, packaging it all up into those 55-gallon blue barrel drums, and shipping it back to their home nations, all to be sold on the black market for a quick buck at the American taxpayer’s expense.

Here’s a brief rundown:

Food-stamp fraud in New York has turned into foreign aid — to black-market profiteers in the Dominican Republic.

‘It’s a really easy way to make money, and it doesn’t cost me anything,’ a seller named Maria-Teresa said Friday.

The 47-year-old Bronx native told The Post she scalps barrels of Frosted Flakes and baby formula bought with welfare money in the United States.

For reference, the Dominican Republic is a very food-insecure nation: according to data from the Integrated Food Insecurity Phase Classification (IPC) published earlier this year, 9% of the population is at a “crisis” level of food insecurity (963,000 people), while another 18% is in the “stressed” demographic (1.926 million). Furthermore, the World Food Programme states that 33% of the nation “lacks access to a nutritious diet.”

But, these blue barrels aren’t the full scope: Maria-Teresa has a home in the DR, and she also sells from there, undercutting the local stores, noting that “a lot of people are doing” the same thing. Then, there’s this:

And the food-stamp fraud doesn’t stop there. She [Maria-Teresa] said her sister has Bronx grocers ring up bogus $250 transactions with her EBT card.

In exchange, the stores hand her $200 cash and pocket the rest. No goods are exchanged. Instead, Maria-Teresa’s sister sends the money to Santiago — when she’s not spending it on liquor or other nonfood items.

‘We do it all the time, and a lot of people do this,’ Maria-Teresa said. ‘It’s a way of laundering money, but it’s easier because it’s free.’

“Free” she says. Well, the $327,507 portion of the (current) national debt that I apparently “owe” says otherwise. Now, this was in 2013. How much worse do you think this scam is at this point, 12 years later?

Bolivian president-elect Rodrigo Paz thanks God after election victory ends decades of leftist control

 The newly elected president of Bolivia, Rodrigo Paz Pereira, thanked God for his electoral success as his victory ended two decades of leftist control over the South American country. He cited the Lord several times in his victory speech. 

Paz, a senator from the Christian Democratic Party and son of former president Jaime Paz Zamora, addressed supporters in a speech after he was declared the winner of the 2025 Bolivian presidential election on Sunday.

"I want, first of all, to thank our God for his energy, for his faith, for his strength, for his audacity," Paz, 58, proclaimed. 

"He is a blessed God who also gives the audacity to make decisions that affect the country, that lead to moments like these," he added. "God, family and homeland are the foundation of a vision we have regarding our commitment to all of Bolivia, to all Bolivians." 

As his speech came to a close, Paz vowed to "work all the hours God gives me to transform." The final words of his address were "God bless you." 

Unofficial results from the 2025 Bolivian presidential election show Paz capturing 54.96% of the vote. His opponent, Jorge Quiroga of the Libre Party, secured 45.04%. The two advanced to a runoff election, which took place Sunday, after receiving the highest number of votes in the Aug. 17 general election. Paz won 32.1% of the vote in the first round, while Quiroga won 26.8%.

The remaining vote was divided among six other candidates who did not advance to the runoff. As the party supported by a plurality of voters in the first round, the Christian Democratic Party captured the most seats in both the Bolivian Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. Seats awarded to each party corresponded to the percentage of votes they received in the general election.

The Christian Democratic Party won 49 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 16 seats in the Senate. The Libre Party won 12 seats in the Senate and 39 seats in the Chamber of Deputies.

The Movement Towards Socialism, the party currently in power, was decimated in the 2025 election. It will only hold two seats in the Chamber of Deputies and will have no representation in the Senate.

Orthodox Anglicans create new communion renouncing ties to archbishop of Canterbury

 The GAFCON movement of orthodox Anglicans is forging its own path away from the leadership of the archbishop of Canterbury with the launch of the Global Anglican Communion.

It will be distinct from the worldwide Anglican Communion that is under the spiritual leadership of the archbishop of Canterbury and which recognises other Institutes of Communion like the Lambeth Conference, the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC), and the Primates' Meeting of senior archbishops.

Unveiling its plans on Thursday, GAFCON said its intention is to "reorder" the Anglican Communion with only the Bible as its foundation. It will not recognize the archbishop of Canterbury or other Institutes of Communion. 

"We cannot continue to have communion with those who advocate the revisionist agenda, which has abandoned the inerrant word of God as the final authority and overturned Resolution I.10, of the 1998 Lambeth Conference," said the Most Rev Laurent Mbanda, chairman of the GAFCON Primates’ Council, and Primate of Rwanda. 

"Therefore, Gafcon has re-ordered the Anglican Communion by restoring its original structure as a fellowship of autonomous provinces bound together by the Formularies of the Reformation, as reflected at the first Lambeth Conference in 1867, and we are now the Global Anglican Communion.

"Provinces of the Global Anglican Communion shall not participate in meetings called by the Archbishop of Canterbury, including the ACC, and shall not make any monetary contribution to the ACC, nor receive any monetary contribution from the ACC or its networks."

Provinces aligned with the new Global Anglican Communion have been told to amend their constitutions to remove any reference to being in communion with the See of Canterbury and the Church of England.

The first formal gathering of the Global Anglican Communion has been planned for March 3 to March 6, 2026, in Abuja, Nigeria.

Pedophile State Of Somalia rejects law prohibiting child marriage, says it contradicts Islamic law

 Somalia’s Federal Government has sparked national and international outrage after rejecting clauses in the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child that prohibit marriage under 18 years. The Ministry of Family and Human Rights Development said the clauses contradict Islamic law and the Somali constitution, which it emphasized take precedence over international agreements.

The decision means Somalis can marry below 18 and reach adulthood according to Islamic principles, not fixed age limits. It also reverses a recent attempt to align Somalia’s laws with regional child protection standards , a move that was reportedly overturned within 24 hours after public protests.

According to the ministry, provisions that guarantee children freedom of religion, privacy, and protection from early marriage were seen as interfering with parental responsibility and Islamic values.

The announcement, made around the International Day of the Girl Child, has triggered fury online, with many accusing Somali authorities of legitimizing child abuse under the guise of religion.

No Kings, No Secrets

 This weekend, millions are expected to flood the streets chanting “No Kings, No Secrets” in what’s being sold as a grassroots rebellion against authoritarianism. But peel back the curtain, and you’ll find a different story: one of dark money elite networks and carefully coordinated narratives. This isn’t the voice of the people; it’s a well-funded operation designed to shape perceptions and control outcomes.

Amid the orchestrated chants of No Kings No Secrets there is zero excitement for this demonic cause. What is presented as a grassroots movement is instead a hollow spectacle driven by a web of dark money and hidden agendas. The substantial funding from networks like Arabella Soros and others totaling nearly 294.5 million dollars reveals a calculated effort to manipulate public perception rather than a genuine uprising. This top-down manipulation, lacking the organic passion of true activism, leaves little room for enthusiasm, exposing it as a manufactured narrative.



Over 2500 No Kings protests are scheduled for October 18 across all 50 states, orchestrated by a coalition of over 200 groups, including Indivisible, the ACLU, and SEIU. On the surface, it looks like a broad coalition. But dig deeper and you’ll see these organizations share the same donors, lawyers, and fiscal sponsors, entities like the Sixteen Thirty Fund tied to George Soros’s Open Society Foundations. Politico has called this fund the left’s dark money powerhouse, and for good reason, it funnels hundreds of millions into political operations disguised as civic engagement.

The playbook is simple but effective. Fiscal sponsors like Arabella create shell nonprofits that spin off countless sub-projects, each with a noble-sounding name but zero public accountability. These groups pay for protest signs, organizers’ travel, and media campaigns, creating the illusion of a groundswell while the puppet masters remain hidden. As a crowd-for-hire CEO recently admitted, paid agitators and foreign influence are part of the mix. This isn’t activism but information warfare.

We’ve seen this before. The Color Revolutions overseas followed a similar formula: Western NGOs pulling strings with money, media, and messaging in perfect sync. The 2020 Summer of Justice protests: Millions went into bail funds tied to political PACs. Those election-year civic engagement drives: Always hitting the same swing states. The pattern is clear. The slogans change, but the players behind the curtain don’t.

Senator Ted Cruz is now calling for a federal investigation into the money web behind No Kings and even pushing for RICO scrutiny on these fiscal sponsors. The coordination is too perfect, the slogans too polished, the timing too convenient, and the media are all singing the same tune. As one X post put it, this is not simply a political protest but information warfare. Money fuels movements, movements shape perception, and perception drives policy. You don’t need bullets to win that kind of war; you only need belief.

The Climate Creed: How Fear Replaced Science

 For decades, politicians and pundits have told us that “the science is settled.” Those four words have become a shield for power and a sword against dissent. But real science thrives on inquiry and investigation; not the suppression of it. What has emerged instead is not science at all, but a kind of secular faith — one that demands belief in man-made CO2-induced climate catastrophe and punishes heresy. Yet, many scientists, including scientists that have worked within the climate bureaucracy, know how fragile the claim that “climate change is caused by CO2” really is.



As a former scientist with the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change and later a technical expert for United Nations Environment, I saw firsthand how the modern climate narrative was shaped — not by evidence, but by politics. Uncertainty wasn’t treated as a question to investigate; it was treated as a threat to suppress. Entire careers and institutions came to depend on preserving a preordained conclusion: that carbon dioxide, the same gas that feeds plant life, is destroying the planet.


What began as environmental concern has hardened into climate orthodoxy — a moral creed enforced by bureaucrats, bankers, and media alike. It is a belief system that demands faith rather than understanding, obedience rather than inquiry. None of this means the climate isn’t changing. It means that the conversation about why and how has been systematically narrowed — not by discovery, but by decree.

Pastor StevenAnderson Tells Wives to Endure Abuse and Not Call Police: What You Need To Know

 


Tylenol and Autism: More to the Story

 In 2020, the Atlanta-based U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that one in 36 children (approximately four percent of boys and one percent of girls) was estimated to have autism-spectrum disorder, estimates that were significantly higher than those in all previous years.

But just five years later, according to the press conference held just weeks ago on September 22, President Trump — in the presence of U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz — announced that the Department of Health and Human Services stated that autism had surged in America nearly 400% and now affects 1 in 31 American children...

...and that this alarming statistic was a result of pregnant women taking Tylenol during their pregnancies!

Within milliseconds, everyone weighed in, from a skeptical Scientific American to the hearty support of the Icahn School in the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine.

Here, Dr. Josh Redd explains in plain English why Tylenol is so bad for pregnant women.

Besides the pros and cons, disturbing facts emerged, not the least of which is that the FDA knew about the Tylenol-autism link over a decade and a half ago...but did nothing!  Talk about “follow the money”!

In fact, as early as 2019, a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) study recommended — again, with no follow-through — that the labels be revised to advise pregnant women to “be careful about casual use of acetaminophen when it is not strongly needed for pain or other purposes.”

It took a few years, but since September 2022, according to the BirthInjuryCenter.org , over 100 lawsuits have been filed nationwide against acetaminophen manufacturers, claiming damage over the failure to warn pregnant users that Tylenol and generic versions may increase the risk of having a baby with autism and/or ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).

GAI’s Seamus Bruner Reveals Left-Wing Funders Such as Roy Singham Behind Antifa Riots

 

Seamus Bruner, the Director of Research at the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) revealed that left-wing funders such as billionaire Neville Roy Singham were behind left-wing Antifa riots and protests.

During a roundtable event on Antifa with President Donald Trump, Bruner explained that he, GAI President Peter Schweizer, and their team “followed” a trail of money and “followed it to the top of what” they called the Protest Industrial Complex, or Riot Inc. Bruner explained that the so-called “Riot Inc.” was made up of many different divisions, and that “dozens of radical organizations” have received millions of dollars from Riot Inc.

“We found a network of NGOs, it’s not just the Soros network, the Open Society Network. It’s other funding networks, the Arabella Funding Network, the Tides Funding Network, Neville Roy Singham and his network, foreign cash,” Bruner explained. “And, it’s also big left-wing funders — some of them are not citizens of this country.”

Bruner continued to note that these left-wing funders were “pouring money into this entire ecosystem.”

Bruner continued to share “three money facts” about Riot Inc., explaining that there were “many divisions” such as “PR divisions, marketing divisions” and even a “well-funded legal division.”

“Number two, we have identified dozens of radical organizations, not just the decentralized Antifa organizations, but dozens of radical organizations that have received more than one hundred million dollars from the Riot Inc. investors,” Bruner added. “These would be the lawyer groups, these would be the groups that advocate for calling good, honest Americans fascists.”

Disturbing,’ ‘Devastating’: Nigeria’s Anglicans Break with Canterbury over ‘Pro-Gay’ Female Archbishop

 The leadership of the Anglican Church in Nigeria issued a statement on Tuesday taking issue with the appointment of Bishop Sarah Mullaly as the first Archbishop of Canterbury, making her the first female leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion.

Mullaly, a 63-year-old former nurse, was named last week in a move that threatened to split the more conservative Asian and African churches away from Canterbury. The previous archbishop, Justin Welby, resigned almost a year ago after an inquiry found he failed to inform the police about serial sexual abuse by a volunteer at summer camps.

Mullaly’s critics say she is not distant enough from Welby and the scandal that brought him down and her politics are too liberal for much of the Anglican Communion, to say nothing of conservative resistance to a female archbishop. Women have only been priests in the Anglican faith for about 30 years and the Communion was only held together in the 1990s with promises they would not become bishops, much less the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The Anglican Church in Nigeria was first out of the gate in formally denouncing the appointment of a female archbishop, calling it “devastating” and “insensitive to the conviction of the majority of Anglicans who are unable to embrace female headship in the episcopate.”

“More disturbing that Bishop Sarah Mullally is a strong supporter of same-sex marriage as evidenced in her speech in 2023, after a vote to approve the blessings of homosexuals when she described the result as a moment of hope for the Church,” continued the statement from the Most Reverend Henry C. Ndukuba, Archbishop, Metropolitan, and Primate of the Church of Nigeria.

“It remains to be seen how the same person hopes to mend the already torn fabric of the Anglican Communion by the contentious same-sex marriage, which has caused an enormous crisis across the entire Anglican Communion for over two decades,” the statement said.

“This election is a further confirmation that the global Anglican world could no longer accept the leadership of the Church of England and that of the Archbishop of Canterbury,” the statement declared.

Archbishop Ndukuba said the Church of Nigeria would “uphold the authority of the Scriptures, our historic creeds, evangelism and holy Christian living, irrespective of the ongoing revisionist agenda, believing our Lord Jesus Christ has built His church and ‘the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.’” 

The Church of Nigeria’s statement concluded by encouraging “all faithful brothers and sisters in the Church of England who have consistently rejected the aberration called same-sex marriage and other ungodly teachings” to stand firm in their beliefs.

Reminder: Hamas and the Palestinian Authority Do Not Believe In Any Peace Process

 

  • Both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority are not, and never were, interested in peace with Israel. The only peace they envision is one that would see Israel eliminated and replaced with an Islamist state, preferably, each with itself as the head.

  • Trump is a man with good intentions, and his sincere efforts to end the war should be commended by all those who want to see an end to the death and destruction in the Gaza Strip. The US president, however, needs to bear in mind that both the Palestinian Authority and -- a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood organization -- were established with the sole purpose of waging jihad (holy war) to kill Jews and destroy Israel.

  • Any proposal or deal that allows Hamas, the Palestinian Authority (or Qatar, but that is for a later date) to hold on to its weapons and maintain any form of presence in the Gaza Strip will only facilitate their plans to pursue jihad against Israel.

  • As long as the Palestinian Authority, Hamas and other Qatari-promoted Palestinian terror groups exist, there will never be peace or stability in the Middle East.

Germany arrests three men suspected of targeting Jewish institutions for Hamas

 BERLIN, Oct 1 (Reuters) – German police arrested three men they suspect of preparing a serious act of violence against Jewish targets in Germany for Hamas, prosecutors said on Wednesday, a week before the second anniversary of the militant Islamist group’s attack on Israel.

Prosecutors suspect the three men of being foreign operatives for Hamas and of being involved in procuring firearms and ammunition to be used for assassinations targeting Israeli or Jewish institutions in Germany, they said.

Hamas on Wednesday denied links to the three men, calling the allegations unfounded and saying its struggle is “confined to opposing Israeli occupation in Palestine.”

“In the course of today’s arrests, various weapons, including an AK-47 assault rifle and several pistols, as well as a considerable amount of ammunition, were found,” the federal prosecutors said in a statement.

The three, identified in line with German privacy laws only as German citizen Abed Al G., Wael F. M., born in Lebanon, and German citizen Ahmad I., were arrested in Berlin on Wednesday. A security source said the three were in their 30s or 40s….

Qatar Must Apologize for Supporting Islamist Terrorist Groups

 

  • If anyone needs to apologize, it is Qatar, which has long been financing, hosting, and advocating for Hamas and other Islamist terror groups such as the Islamic State (ISIS) and Al-Qaeda.

  • Qatar, in fact, needs to apologize not only to Israel, but to several Arab countries affected by the Gulf state's support for Islamist terror groups.

  • "Qatar is now known as the world's safe haven for terrorist groups and militia leaders.... Evidence suggests that Qatar has directly armed or financed multiple Islamist groups in the region, undermining U.S. objectives in pivotal countries such as Libya, Egypt, and Syria by pushing those places toward violent extremism." — US Representative Doug Lamborn, 2015.

  • Qatar is not – and never was – an impartial mediator in the Hamas-Israel war. As a longtime sponsor of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist terrorist groups, Qatar's main goal is to ensure that Hamas, possibly under a different guise, continues to play a key role in the Palestinian arena.

  • People who contend that Qatar might "change," thanks to the potential incentives of the Abraham Accords, appear afflicted with the same illusions as those who fantasize that the Palestinian Authority will reform. Sadly, the self-interested statements by French President Emmanuel Macron, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese have encouraged the terrorists and their sponsors to have renewed hope that they finally might be able to get rid of Israel, after all.

  • In its perennial role as both the "arsonist and the firefighter," as with the Taliban in Afghanistan, there is every reason to assume -- unless someone emphatically stops them -- that Qatar will set about surreptitiously creating a "Hamas, the Sequel" the minute the weather improves.

ICE Arrested a U.S. Citizen—Twice—During Alabama Construction Site Raids. Now He's Suing.

 An Alabama construction worker is challenging the Trump administration's warrantless construction site raids after he says he was arrested and detained by federal immigration agents—twice—despite being a U.S. citizen with a valid ID in his pocket.

In a federal civil rights lawsuit filed today in the Southern District of Alabama, Leo Garcia Venegas is seeking to stop "dragnet raids" that target Latinos like himself, without any probable cause besides their ethnicity. 

"It feels like there is nothing I can do to stop immigration agents from arresting me whenever they want," Venegas said in a press release by the Institute for Justice, a public interest law firm that filed the suit on his behalf. "I just want to work in peace. The Constitution protects my ability to do that."

Venegas and the Institute for Justice argue that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policies allow immigration agents to illegally raid private construction sites, detain workers without reasonable suspicion, and continue detaining them even after they offer evidence of citizenship or legal status. All of this, they say, violates the Fourth Amendment's protections against unreasonable searches and seizures.
