The method for reporting crime data changed in 2021 when the FBI modernized and thousands of local agencies didn’t. Last year, the FBI said they would take data from the old system as well, but it doesn’t seem to have worked well yet though more are reporting. The LAPD and NYPD did not report, Chicago […] The post About 1/3rd of Crime Data Never Gets Reported to the FBI appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

A Texas Republican introduced legislation Tuesday that he says would protect millions of American jobs from illegal aliens.  Congressman Brandon Gill’s “Domestic Jobs Protection Act” would strip the executive branch of authority to grant work authorization to illegal aliens. Gill said that his bill would stop future administrations from using federal law to hand out jobs to people who illegally crossed into the United States.  “President Trump has done more for American workers and their families than any other president,” Gill told The Daily Wire. “It is crucial that we prevent any future administrations from doing anything to stand in the way of their success, including using work permits to usher in more illegal immigration.”  Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Department of Homeland Security can issue work employment authorization documents to illegal aliens who have been given temporary protected status, are part of the DACA program, or are part of other similar initiatives. Gill’s office said that this work authorization creates a “powerful jobs magnet” for illegal immigration.  Former President Joe Biden gave temporary protected status to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants from Venezuela, El Salvador, Ukraine, and Sudan. This status allowed them to seek work authorization from the government. The Domestic Jobs Protection Act would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to ensure that “no future administration can exploit discretionary work permits to revive DACA-style programs or expand illegal immigration at the expense of American workers,” according to Gill’s office.  The current definition of unauthorized alien “with respect to the employment of an alien at a particular time” in the legal code is “that the alien is not at that time either (A) an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence, or (B) authorized to be so employed by this chapter or by the Attorney General.” Since the Immigration and Nationality Act took effect, the authority to grant employment authorization documents has transitioned from the attorney general to the Department of Homeland Security. Gill’s bill would remove the line of text that reads “or by the attorney general” to ensure that only Congress can decide who receives work authorization.

The Israeli military says it took out senior leadership of Hamas that was living safely in Qatar, away from the military offensive being waged against Hamas in Gaza since its October 7, 2023, terrorist attack. In a “precise strike,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Israel Security Agency (ISA) struck deep into the heart of Hamas’s leadership — not in Gaza, but in the plush Katara neighborhood of Doha, Qatar, a longtime haven for the terror group’s senior command. Among those reportedly targeted: Khalil al-Hayya, the deputy to former Gaza Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar and head of Hamas’s negotiation team; Zaher Jabarin, a key figure in Hamas’s military wing; and others including Hussam Badran, Taher al-Nono, and Ali Darwish — all known operatives tied to the planning and execution of the October 7 massacre that left over 1,200 Israelis dead. The IDF released this statement: The IDF and ISA conducted a precise strike targeting the senior leadership of the Hamas terrorist organization. For years, these members of the Hamas leadership have led the terrorist organization’s operations, are directly responsible for the brutal October 7 massacre, and have been orchestrating and managing the war against the State of Israel. Prior to the strike, measures were taken in order to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of precise munitions and additional intelligence. The IDF and ISA will continue to operate with determination in order to defeat the Hamas terrorist organization responsible for the October 7 massacre. ?JUST IN: First footage from Doha, the capital of Qatar https://t.co/N4LXArfZ5J pic.twitter.com/BI3jc36WXf — Raylan Givens (@JewishWarrior13) September 9, 2025 Qatar responded on Tuesday by condemning the attack, calling it a “blatant violation of all international laws and norms.” Amid speculation about United States involvement in the strike, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it was a “wholly independent Israeli operation.” “Today’s action against the top terrorist chieftains of Hamas was a wholly independent Israeli operation,” Netanyahu said. “Israel initiated it, Israel conducted it, and Israel takes full responsibility.” The attack comes just days after the United States indicated it was running out of patience with the terrorist group. On Sunday, President Donald Trump gave his final warning to Hamas, writing on Truth Social: “I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting.” The Hamas terror masterminds had been living comfortably in Qatar, a country that openly harbors Hamas leaders, funds their operations, and maintains warm ties with Iran — the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. Ismail Haniyeh, Khaled Mashal — chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau from 1996 until May 2017, when he was succeeded by Haniyeh — and Moussa Abu Marzouk — all with blood on their hands — had maintained a political base in Doha, where they celebrated the October 7 atrocities from afar. Hamas leaders on October 7 were praying in Doha, Qatar while watching the massacre unfolding on television. I suspect some of these leaders were targeted today by Israel. pic.twitter.com/z2zBxoiHBa — Joe Truzman (@JoeTruzman) September 9, 2025 Back in 2017, U.S. lawmakers raised the alarm about Qatar’s terror ties. Former congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) blasted the Gulf state for acting as a revolving door for Hamas, the Taliban, and al-Qaeda-linked financiers. “Qatar has openly housed Hamas leaders… and has failed to prosecute them,” she warned, citing evidence of financial support even to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11. Former Treasury official David Cohen echoed those concerns, describing Qatar as a “permissive terrorist financing environment,” where fundraisers for groups like Hamas and ISIS operated freely — often as local agents of broader networks stretching into Kuwait. Despite claiming to serve as a “moderating force,” Qatar has pumped billions of dollars to Hamas. Some of that money has been used to buy fuel from Egypt — fuel Hamas then resells to fund its terror machine. Other funds have gone directly into paying Hamas’s so-called “civil workers” in Gaza. The death of Haniyeh — Hamas’s political bureau chief — in a July 2024 bombing in Tehran underscored the tangled web of alliances between Hamas, Iran, and Qatar. Qatar’s role as a safe harbor for terrorists has long been an open secret. Now, with strikes reaching Doha, it may finally be on notice: harboring terrorists comes at a cost.

Khalil Shakir, a Buffalo Bills wide receiver, is known for far more than what he’s able to accomplish on the football field. For example, he absolutely loves animals. So much so, in fact, he took action to ensure dogs at a local shelter avoided being euthanized. His most recent act of kindness took place on August 31. Clarke Country Animal Shelter was set to euthanize a number of dogs, but Shakir stepped in first. With the help of a rescue group, Shakir was able to transport 19 dogs to Nickel City Canine Rescue. As a result, these sweet dogs won’t have to worry. In other words, Shakir truly helped save their lives! Check out the video below to get a peak at Shakir, and the adorable rescue dogs, in action. @humankind Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir used his star power to save these dogs' lives. #usatodaypets #buffalobills #NFL #buffalobillsfootball #khalilshakir #animalrescue #hopecore #kindcore #dogsoftiktok #footballseason @nfl @buffalobills ♬ universal background music(1429405) – MaxRecStudio It turns out, Nickel City Canine Rescue holds an extra special place in Shakir’s heart. Just last year, his very own family adopted a dog from there. They named the dog Missy, a fitting name for the sweet and adorable pup. Khalil Shakir Has Saved Lives Before Now, thanks to Shakir’s help, more dogs like Missy will have a chance at finding their own forever homes. Best of all, this isn’t the first time he’s done something like this. Back in May, he helped rescue 26 dogs in this same situation. Shakir’s love for animals is so heartwarming. Just the day before this rescue mission, he was at a large pet adoption event that was held by the Shakir Family Foundation. It was at this event that the football player was told about the opportunity to work with Nickel City Canine Rescue again. “[Shakir’s] eyes lit up!” a representative for Nickel City Canine Rescue said about giving Shakir the news. “He said he would love to come help again.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

Yesterday, two sheriff’s deputies in Lubbock, Texas stopped to help someone stranded on the highway. But before they could finish helping the driver, a semi-truck hit the duo’s nearby patrol unit. This sent the car straight toward the deputies, leaving them pinned up against a guardrail on I-27. Help was on the way, but an unlikely group arrived on the scene first and saved the Texas deputy. With one deputy dangling over the guardrail, there wasn’t any time to waste. Luckily, a group of nearby citizens gathered together to keep the man safe. In fact, they managed to lift him over the guardrail and back to safety. Witness the harrowing footage from this rescue mission in the video below. @nbcnews A sheriff's deputy in #Texas ♬ original sound – nbcnews “This is how people are supposed to treat each other,” someone pointed out in the comments. Other people added, “Even after being lifted over he held on to that man’s hand” and “Those people are heroes and should have their day. They need medals for putting their lives in danger and should be recognized in Lubbock. Thanks brothers.” Deputy Found Dangling Off Highway in Texas Gets Saved by a Group of Brave Citizens Soon after the deputy was brought back to solid ground, an ambulance arrived to take both men to the hospital. While their injuries are said to be serious, reports also say they are expected to be okay. As you’d imagine, the entirety of the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office are grateful for everyone who risked their own lives to save these two deputies. They shared this gratitude, along with details of the incident, in a Facebook post. “Thank you Lubbock citizens for watching over our deputies,” the post reads. “… Additionally, we would like to remind everyone on the roadway to slow down and move over any time they see a vehicle parked on the side of the road.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
