It’s crazy enough to think this, but to say it in public???? ON TAPE?????
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

Tural Atakishiyev had never been arrested. He had attended every required check-in. He had asked for asylum because of documented persecution of gay people in his home country. But Tural was still detained at a regular appointment to check in with ICE in January.

Our ability to compartmentalize and also to frankly lie to ourselves are survival mechanisms as human beings. Because if we truly let ourselves consider how unhinged this man is and how he could end up blowing everyone up on the planet, we'd never sleep again.

In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:
- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown

US police annually kill 1500 to 2000 people, every single year.
