This morning, the FBI arrested Alejandro Theodoro Orellana for conspiracy to commit civil disorders after handing out face masks. The FBI arrested the man handing out face shields for would-be rioters against ICE. It’s a start. They can get him to crack and hand over his bosses. He is possibly here illegally.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations nuclear watchdog, on Thursday found that Iran had breached its non-proliferation obligations. It is the first time in almost two decades that the IAEA has taken that stance. The last time the IAEA adopted that position was in September 2005, when clandestine nuclear activities in Iran were discovered. The IAEA’s declaration means that the report will more likely be considered by the U.N. Security Council. The resolution declaring Iran in violation, which was submitted by the United States, Britain, France, and Germany, was approved by 19 countries with 11 abstentions. Only Russia, China, and Burkina Faso voted against the resolution, according to Reuters. “The Board of Governors… finds that Iran’s many failures to uphold its obligations since 2019 to provide the Agency with full and timely cooperation regarding undeclared nuclear material and activities at multiple undeclared locations in Iran … constitutes non-compliance with its obligations under its Safeguards Agreement with the Agency,” the resolution stated. “A central issue is Iran’s failure to provide the IAEA with credible explanations of how uranium traces detected at undeclared sites in Iran came to be there despite the agency having investigated the issue for years,” Reuters added. In February, Reuters noted, “The stock of uranium refined to up to 60% in the form of uranium hexafluoride grew by 92.5 kg in the past quarter to 274.8 kg, one of two confidential IAEA reports said. That is enough in principle, if enriched further, for six nuclear bombs, according to an IAEA yardstick.” On June 2, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, “The AUTOPEN should have stopped Iran a long time ago from ‘enriching.’ Under our potential Agreement — WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM!” On June 4, in a televised speech, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei taunted the United States and the Trump administration over its demand that Iran stop enriching uranium, declaring, “The first word of the U.S. is that Iran should not have a nuclear industry and should rely on the United States. Our response to the U.S. nonsense is clear: they cannot do a damn thing in this matter.” “The rude and arrogant leaders of America repeatedly demand that we should not have a nuclear program. Who are you to decide whether Iran should have an enrichment?” Khamenei jeered. “Why are you interfering? Whether Iran enriches uranium or not — what does it have to do with you? Who are you?”

We have all seen the images this past week. They have become a far too common sight in America’s largest cities: cars ablaze, small businesses looted and vandalized, city centers held hostage by violent mobs, all while local law enforcement stands idly by. President Trump took decisive action to protect the public from lawless rioters by activating the National Guard, but many of the rioters continue to engage in blatant criminality, correctly guessing they face only a remote risk of prosecution. Congress and state legislatures, however, can step in by making it ruinously expensive to riot. For decades, the federal government has used private litigation as a tool to further public policy objectives. Disabled Americans can sue businesses for violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Consumers who suffer even the most trivial losses from deceptive advertising can bring class actions against manufacturers. Litigation is expensive, often ruinously so, and the government therefore outsources much of its law enforcement to private citizens, armed with statutes that award attorneys’ fees and civil penalties. Rioting is first and foremost a criminal matter, and local police departments and district attorneys should quell riots through vigorous, evenhanded enforcement of criminal law. But they do not. Congress should thus fill this void by creating a private right of action, that is, the ability to bring a lawsuit against individuals who create disruptions in the form of riots. The first step would be to define a riot, taking care to draw a clear line between criminality and First Amendment activity. Fortunately, the law already makes this distinction: expressing one’s thoughts using signs or chants is legal, but trespassing, assault, and vandalism are not. A riot should therefore be defined as a gathering of two or more people who are present in a location where they lack legal permission to be (whether private property or public property without a required permit) who engage in or aid and abet trespass, assault, and vandalism that results in property damage and obstructed rights of way. If Congress is the body passing the law, it can add a requirement that the riot affects interstate commerce (a very broad and easily satisfied requirement) to ensure the law is upheld. The second step would be to identify the parties who can bring suit under this law. Riots result in many kinds of harm. Workers are unable to make it to work on time. Business owners contend with shattered windows, stolen inventory, and lost revenue when law-abiding residents stay home. Parents are unable to take their children to school. Police officers are assaulted. The law must recognize each of these harms by allowing anyone who suffers a harm to their person or property to bring suit. The third step would be to craft a remedy that gives the law teeth. A challenge with enforcing criminal rioting laws is the difficulty of determining precisely which member of a riot committed which act of criminality. Civil law need not be so exacting. A participant in a riot — or those who provided material support to rioters (the deep-pocketed unions and nonprofits who help organize the protests that quickly become riots) — should face civil liability for harm that occurred during the riot. While some victims face tremendous financial harm, like a small business owner whose shop or restaurant is looted, others face smaller, harder-to-quantify harms. Plaintiffs should therefore be able to recover not only their actual damages, but a civil penalty in the tens of thousands of dollars, sufficient to deter rioters. Like almost all civil enforcement statutes, there should be a mandatory award of attorney’s fees to prevailing plaintiffs to ensure that anti-rioting cases are financially viable for attorneys. The coddling of rioters by state and local authorities has caused tremendous destruction in American cities. In the past five years, we have seen riots ostensibly related to policing, race relations, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and, now, the enforcement of immigration laws. As long as rioters know they can act with impunity, the riots will continue. A law that makes funding or participating in riots financially devastating will make many rioters—and those who fund them—think twice before blocking a bridge or smashing a storefront window. * * * Jesse Franklin-Murdock is counsel at Dhillon Law Group Inc. and he is also a resident of San Francisco, where violent riots have taken place over the course of the last week.

A former CIA analyst who leaked Israeli strike plans against Iran was sentenced to just three years and one month in prison on Wednesday. Asif William Rahman, 34, of Vienna, Virginia, was convicted of “unlawfully retaining and transmitting Top Secret National Defense Information to people who were not entitled to receive it,” the U.S. Department of Justice said. Rahman was arrested in November 2024 and pled guilty to two counts of willful retention and transmission of classified information related to the national defense in January 2025. He had faced up to 10 years in prison on each count if convicted. He had been employed by the CIA since 2016 and had Top Secret security clearance with access to Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI), The Daily Wire previously reported. “Asif Rahman violated his position of trust by illegally accessing, removing, and transmitting Top Secret documents vital to the national security of the United States and its allies,” said Erik S. Siebert, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. “This case should serve as a stern warning to those who choose to place their own goals over their allegiance to our nation.” The DOJ said Rahman “accessed and printed two Top Secret documents containing National Defense Information” on October 17, 2024. The next day, the documents appeared on multiple social media platforms, including a pro-Iran Telegram account, The Daily Wire reported at the time. The leaked documents included information from U.S. satellites on Israeli military preparations for the strike against Iran. The documents were intended to be viewed only by members of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, which includes the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Israel launched airstrikes targeting military bases around Iran’s capital city of Tehran later in October, The Daily Wire reported. The strikes came in response to an Iranian ballistic missile attack earlier that month. The DOJ continued: In 2024, continuing through November, Rahman repeatedly accessed and printed classified National Defense Information, including documents classified up to the Top Secret and further compartmented levels, that he learned in the course of his employment and transmitted to multiple individuals he knew were not entitled to receive it. “For months, this defendant betrayed the American people and the oaths he took upon entering his office by leaking some of our Nation’s most closely held secrets,” said John Eisenberg, Assistant Attorney General for National Security.

Jimmy Kimmel insisted earlier this week that there was “no riot” in Los Angeles, and claimed President Donald Trump was “mentally ill” for deploying troops to quell anti-ICE protests. “You won’t see this elsewhere on television. Not only is it not an apocalypse, they’re having a Disney/Pixar movie premiere for ‘Elio,’ a movie about aliens. Don’t tell Trump — he’ll send in the Green Berets, too,” Kimmel told his audience. “But I just want to say, thank God for President Trump and the heroes at ICE for protecting us from these bloodthirsty fruit stand vendors spreading their dangerous pineapple chunks and mangos with a squirt of lime all over the city.” The comedian whined that illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay in the country because most of them haven’t committed any crimes beyond the first one: entering the country illegally.  “People who have lived here their whole lives, people who have been in this city longer than I have, the vast majority of whom have never done anything wrong, are being abducted, which is the correct word to use, by agents in masks, hiding their identities, grabbing people off the street and at work, sending people to detention centers,” he claimed. Despite Kimmel’s assertions, there have been many videos circulating on social media documenting the violence in real time. This includes police vehicles being vandalized and set on fire, major roadways being shut down by angry mobs, small businesses being looted and burned, and other targeted attacks against law enforcement as residents protest the ICE raids. Still, Kimmel said he supports the protests. “Los Angelenos gathered to demonstrate and, with very few exceptions, peacefully demonstrate to voice their opposition to this disgusting and unnecessary abuse of power instigated by our mentally ill president, who is dead-set on exacerbating this, who actually wants conflict, who is intentionally inflaming and lying to make it seem like there’s a war going on,” Kimmel added. “There’s no riot outside,” he added. “We have more so-called ‘unrest’ here when one of our teams wins a championship.” Kimmel isn’t the only one in denial. Earlier in the week, California Democratic Rep. Nanette Díaz Barragán appeared on CNN to declare that the Los Angeles riots are “mostly peaceful” as footage of burning cars showed on the screen in the background.

Three dozen federal contractors are at “high risk” of violating President Donald Trump’s executive orders barring the implementation of diversity, equity, and inclusion policies among those who do business with the federal government. A new report from the 1792 Exchange highlights which federal contractors have previously advanced the DEI agenda most aggressively, honing in on companies that have offered rhetorical and financial support to leftwing organizations. It highlights 36 “high risk” companies that raked in $265 billion in federal contracts in fiscal year 2023 and are “likely to be maintaining diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and gender policies” in defiance of Trump’s executive orders addressing DEI and transgender ideology. Daniel Cameron, the former Attorney General of Kentucky and the President of the 1792 Exchange, told The Daily Wire that the database provides the Trump administration with a tool to scrutinize companies that could be violating the president’s orders. “The American people have the right to know if our hard-earned money is subsidizing any corporation’s subversive ideological programs. President Trump has taken bold action to remove DEI programming from federal institutions, including government contractors,” Cameron explained. “This report empowers government agencies and legislators to align procurement decisions with that vision of neutrality and excellence,” he added. Among the 36 companies deemed “high risk” by the organization are Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and Lockheed Martin, which the 1792 Exchange says have discriminated against other companies “that do not promote divisive sex and gender policies.” The three companies, the organization says, pledged to modify the demographic composition of its leadership “through the establishment of gender and racial targets” in recruiting and signed a “commitment to promote DEI through bias education training in the workplace” and “strategize on DEI programs.” Raytheon pointed The Daily Wire to a statement it made in January, assuring the public that it would ditch the DEI agenda. “Our highly dedicated workforce is built and advances on merit in pursuit of our mission to protect and connect the world. RTX is taking the necessary actions to comply with the Presidential Executive Orders,” Raytheon said. Another high-risk company is Honeywell International, which the 1792 Exchange said forced employees to attend “multiple controversial trainings on gender identity, sexual orientation, transgender issues, and divisive racial ideology.” There’s also Boeing, which the 1792 Exchange said has emphasized “racial diversity in its hiring practices” and similarly required employees to attend DEI trainings. Consulting giant Deloitte is also listed as a high-risk company, with the 1792 Exchange noting that the company joined the Partnership for Global LGBTIQ+ Equality, reflecting Deloitte’s “commitment to vet business partners based on LGBTQ+ policies.” “These companies have engaged in politicized diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives that often include executive compensation schemes linked to diversity targets and the creation of employee affinity groups, race-conscious training programs, or gender policies that prioritize identity categories over merit,” the 1792 Exchange said. The 1792 Exchange says its database will serve as “a resource for regulators, lawmakers, and watchdogs to scrutinize whether public funds are being directed toward companies that may now stand in violation of federal mandates.”

When riots broke out in Los Angeles in response to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids, the police response was hamstrung by politics, according to one California sheriff. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco says the violence and destruction that erupted in Los Angeles over the weekend would never have happened in his county. “We know how to stop these,” Bianco said in an interview with The Daily Wire. “I’m not going to criticize other law enforcement leaders, but it was not handled correctly,” he said. “I do not believe that the leaders of law enforcement were not impacted by politics because I know they know how to end this. I know they know how to make it go away, and it was not done.” Violent protesters have spent the past five days causing chaos in Los Angeles, assaulting law enforcement, destroying property, and setting cars on fire as they attempt to prevent ICE agents from doing their jobs and arresting criminal illegal aliens. “I will tell you this, that would never happen in Riverside County because there would never be a mayor standing in front of a news camera blaming law enforcement for anything or encouraging people to come down and protest while riots were happening while the police chief is standing right next to her. That would never, ever happen here,” Bianco said. “This is happening in Los Angeles County and possibly other places because it’s political. It’s because of the people making the decisions.” In 2020, Bianco was able to get Black Lives Matter riots under control quickly in Riverside, he said. “They should have done the exact same thing this time, but instead they fell back into the same political black hole that Los Angeles always falls into, and they don’t prosecute, they don’t arrest, and they just allow this to happen,” he said. Bianco is running as a Republican in California’s gubernatorial election next year, aiming to oust liberal Governor Gavin Newsom. He blamed Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for the riots, saying they should not go on television and “spew political rhetoric.” During a Wednesday press conference, Bass said the riots were “provoked by the White House” and suggested Los Angeles is “part of a national experiment to determine how far the federal government can go.” “You know what they should be doing? Both of them should be sitting on their couch watching their TV from the safety of their own home,” Bianco said. “All they are doing is making it worse, and they’re purposely doing it.” “They do not like law enforcement,” Bianco said. “They enjoy criminal behavior because it creates an environment they can politically take control of and act like they’re the heroes for saving us, when the reality is they created it.” “They prevented law enforcement from doing anything, it gets completely out of hand, and then they jump up and down and say, oh, now we’re going to arrest all these bad actors and this needs to stop,” he said. “They should have done that four days ago, five days ago, and neither one of them did because they make this 100% political. They use it for a political tool, and it’s an absolute disgrace.” “Get out of the way of their chiefs of police and their sheriff’s offices and let them maintain peace. That is what we do. We are the experts doing it,” the sheriff said. Bianco emphasized that when rioters are allowed to film themselves destroying property and post it on social media for “likes and clicks” with no consequences, it encourages more bad actors to go to that area. “If you are going to enable criminal activity, it’s just going to grow and grow and grow, and we watched that happen for the first three days, four days of these riots and nothing was happening. There was no arrests,” he said. “There was no consequence for any of these people.” Often, the sheriff said, he has to send his own officers to Los Angeles when riots there go south. Bianco is already responsible for the safety of 2.4 million people in Riverside County, the 10th largest county in the country, which sits just east of Los Angeles. “I’m not happy. I mean, I will always do it. I have to protect law enforcement. I have to help protect Los Angeles County, but we should have done this five days ago, not yesterday,” Bianco said. Bianco also told The Daily Wire he’s heard cops on the line express frustration that their hands are tied during riots. “The vast majority of the cops that are on the line want to end the rioting,” Bianco said. “They want to arrest the people that are throwing things at them. They want to arrest the people that are trying to hurt them, vandalize property, start fires, and do all those things.” However, until officers get the word from leadership, they “just have to sit there and be the victims of assaults with a deadly weapon,” the sheriff said. The solution, Bianco said, is an “overwhelming show of force from law enforcement and a zero tolerance for criminal activity, and then you can truly have a legitimate protest instead of what we have currently, which is just riots.” “When the leaders prevent it strictly for politics, which that’s all this is, then it creates a bad environment with very, very low morale when leaders don’t stick up for their troops,” the sheriff said. Bianco also noted that while police chiefs can be “fired at any moment if they don’t do what the politicians say,” California sheriffs are elected. “There is not one politician that could affect how I handled my riots,” he said. President Donald Trump deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to Los Angeles to help local law enforcement get the situation under control. The troops are being used to secure streets and perimeters in areas where ICE is carrying out enforcement actions, according to U.S. officials. Democrats were apoplectic at the announcement that approximately 700 Marines were headed to Los Angeles, and Newsom filed an emergency motion to block what he called an “unlawful militarization” of the city. “They know that the National Guard and the Marines will never be used against citizens. It is against the law,” Bianco said. “All of these ignorant politicians and disingenuous politicians that are trying to make the general public think that the military is being used against citizens is disgusting because it is an absolute, flat-out lie.” “They blamed everything on the president who tried to come in and save everybody after,” he said. “They want us to forget the timeline.”

There are, though, just as many such locations beneath the ground. When we venture into these subterranean lairs, we find the levels of terror and fright are taken up a notch or two, leaving those who experience these underground encounters with unsettling and disturbing tales to tell.
