Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

Greenlanders are rich by how they live their lives not by how many dollars they have in their bank account. Why can't dumb Americans like #Trump understand that?

A Majority of Americans Now Believe Trump Knew About Epstein — And Nearly Half Think He Was Involved
For years, the story of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein has lingered in the background of American politics, resurfacing in bursts, then receding just enough for denial to re-assert itself.

This shows how stupid Reform are! 😂 For months now they have been recruiting many of the top Tories who "broke Britain" into Reform, including Jenrick yesterday who oversaw the biggest increase in immigration. Today Frogface 🐸 is gloating about how his recruits did it! 🤣🤡

❤️🔥Tory sources confirm that Nadhim Zahawi made approaches to senior members of Kemi Badenoch's team about getting a peerage just weeks before defecting to Reform UK - but was turned down.
January 12, 2026 at 2:49 PM
Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.
