Kash Patel Files First-Ever Terrorism Charges Against Two Antifa Men
Plus: John Bolton Surrenders Himself for Arrest and Booking

What a dummy, doesn't he know that these two men don't even exist?

Good luck prosecuting ghosts, you big dope.

Two men identified as Antifa members were indicted Wednesday on federal terrorism charges for what authorities describe as a coordinated assault against an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Texas. The indictment, unsealed Thursday, accuses Cameron Arnold and Zachary Evetts of attempting to murder federal officers, providing material support for terrorism, and discharging firearms during the attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado on July 4.

FBI Director Kash Patel called the case a historic milestone. "For the first time ever, the FBI has arrested anarchist violent extremists and charged these Antifa-aligned individuals with material support to terrorism," Patel said in a statement obtained by Fox News. "This was a planned and coordinated terrorist attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, where armed extremists tried to murder U.S. officers on July 4th." He added that the arrests were made "under President Trump's new authorities at record speed," noting that more than 20 individuals tied to the same Antifa network have been apprehended. "No one gets to harm law enforcement. Not on our watch," Patel said.

Attorney General Pam Bondi praised the indictments as a major step in the Trump administration's crackdown on left-wing extremism, describing Antifa as a left-wing terrorist organization that will be prosecuted to the fullest. According to the Justice Department, the suspects were part of a larger group of black-clad individuals who opened fire on ICE personnel and local police officers outside the detention facility. Surveillance footage and recovered weapons show the attackers were equipped with AR-style rifles, body armor, and two-way radios.

Court documents describe how the suspects fired on an Alvarado police officer responding to a 911 call, striking him in the neck, while other gunmen unleashed up to 30 rounds at unarmed correctional officers who had stepped outside the facility. The indictment quotes one of the men shouting, "Get to the rifles!" moments before opening fire. Twelve sets of body armor were later recovered from vehicles and nearby wooded areas, along with spray paint and fliers reading, "FIGHT ICE TERROR WITH CLASS WAR!" and "FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS."

Meanwhile, Oregon declares that it's in open rebellion against the Union.

Portland's City Council voted Wednesday to officially enshrine its "sanctuary city" status into law -- defying President Donald Trump's intensified crackdown on illegal immigration and further insulating local law enforcement from cooperation with federal immigration agents.

The 12--0 vote approved both the "Protect Portland Initiative" and a companion ordinance that formalizes how the city will resist federal enforcement operations led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The move came after a lengthy public hearing dominated by activists and residents urging the council to stand against Trump, according to The Oregonian.

Mayor Keith Wilson celebrated the outcome, describing it as a "clear and powerful message" that Portland would not bow to federal pressure. "We are a proud sanctuary city in a sanctuary state, and we will continue to live our values -- even when federal directives make it difficult," Wilson said in a statement, vowing to use the new framework to push back against what he called "federal overreach."

And the morbidly-obese JB Pritzker says he's a neo-confederate.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is floating an extraordinary idea -- that Democrats could one day prosecute Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents for doing their jobs. In an interview this week with FOX 32 Chicago, the Democrat governor suggested that state and local prosecutors may pursue criminal charges against Department of Homeland Security officials and ICE agents operating in Illinois, a self-declared sanctuary state. "The tables will turn one day," Pritzker said, hinting that prosecutions could come after President Trump leaves office. "These people should recognize that maybe they're not gonna get prosecuted today -- although we're looking at doing that -- but they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration because the statute of limitations would not have run out."

Pritzker claimed he has been in discussions with Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul and several state's attorneys about how they might pursue legal action against federal immigration enforcement officials. "We're talking to the state's attorneys and Attorney General to see how they can go at this because what we want to make sure is that they follow the law," Pritzker said, framing ICE's enforcement of federal immigration statutes as potential criminal behavior.

Unrelated: John Bolton surrenders himself for arrest. Note that he was permitted to surrender himself, and wasn't subjected to a humiliating public leg-iron frog-march like Peter Navarro was.

Hello everyone. Happy Friday!
