Use of a “sonic weapon” in the overnight capture of a country’s leader might sound like something out of a science fiction novel, but experts confirm that sort of technology exists. U.S. military use of sound as a non-lethal weapon “is credible” and “has been demonstrated,” according to Brent Sadler, a senior research fellow at The Heritage Foundation who focuses on naval warfare and advanced technology. Following the U.S. military operation in Venezuela to capture socialist leader Nicolás Maduro, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt shared a post on X describing what an alleged Venezuelan security guard said was “a very intense sound wave” deployed by the U.S. military during the operation. “Suddenly, I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move,” according to the account initially posted by political activist Mike Netter and reposted by Leavitt. “We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons,” the security guard continued. “I swear, I’ve never seen anything like it. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was.” Stop what you are doing and read this… ?????????? https://t.co/v9OsbdLn1q— Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) January 10, 2026 About three decades ago, the U.S. established the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate at the then-Department of Defense, which President Donald Trump renamed the Department of War in 2025. The initiative was re-designated in 2020 as the Joint Intermediate Force Capabilities Office. The development and use of non-lethal weapons “enables U.S. and allied forces to deliver accurate, tailorable, and compelling effects in complex and ambiguous scenarios while preventing unintended escalation of hostilities, unnecessary loss of life, or destruction of critical infrastructure,” according to the Joint Intermediate Force Capabilities Office. The original intent of the initiative was the development of non-lethal weapons for “operations such as peacekeeping and humanitarian assistance,” the government office says, adding that now there is a need for such weapons “in irregular warfare operations such as counterinsurgency, counterterrorism, stability operations, and counter-piracy.” Retired Marine Corps Col. Mark F. Cancian says he has not heard of a weapon that matches the description of the one portrayed in the account Leavitt shared. However, the U.S. military does use a device called a Long Range Acoustic Device, or LRAD. The device is a bit like a megaphone that “focuses all of its audio in a very tight cone,” Cancian, who now serves as a senior advisor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, says. “It sounds like the voice of God. It is very loud,” Cancian said. “And I can imagine that if you cranked up the volume, you could have effects on people … perhaps some disruption in their functions.” The U.S. military has also used “flashbangs” for years, Cancian explained. A “flashbang grenade” is a non-lethal device that shines a very bright light and makes a loud noise. In the roughly 15 years since Cancian worked at the Pentagon, he says it is possible new technologies similar to an LRAD or “flashbang grenade” have been developed. The Pentagon declined to comment on reports of the use of a non-lethal sound weapon in Venezuela. The use of lights and sounds as “non-lethal options” has “matured a lot over the years, but they haven’t really been deployed at scale,” Sadler said. “So, the fact that the special forces might have used these is interesting,” he noted of the Jan. 3 operation in Venezuela. The use of something like a high sound frequency provides a distraction and “buys your special operators seconds to make critical decisions,” Sadler said. Of the U.S. non-lethal sound weapons he knows, Sadler said they are intended to be “reversible” in their effect, and once the sound is turned off or a person gets away from it, “there’s no lasting impact.” The post What’s the Rumored ‘Sonic Weapon’ Used in Venezuela Raid?   appeared first on The Daily Signal.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to send a contempt of Congress citation against former President Bill Clinton to the House floor, for not cooperating with the probe into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.  The vote to hold former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt for her failure to cooperate was closer, but still bipartisan, as three Democrats broke to vote with Republicans.  Nine Democrats on the Oversight Committee joined 25 Republicans to hold Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress, for a 34-8 vote. The vote to hold Hillary Clinton in contempt passed 28-15.  The two contempt citations now head to the House floor for potential consideration by the full chamber. Contempt of Congress is a charge that can carry up to 12 months in prison or $100,000. Here are the Democrats who voted to hold Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress: Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill. Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa. Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass. Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass. Rep. Emily Randall, D-Wash. Rep. Lateefah Simon, D-Calif. Rep. Melanie Stansbury, D-N.M. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. Here are the three Democrats who voted to hold Hillary Clinton in contempt:  Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa. Rep. Melanie Stansbury, D-N.M. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.

The Department of Homeland Security announced “Operation Catch of the Day” on Wednesday, with federal immigration agents arriving in Maine to find and arrest criminal illegal aliens. The agency noted that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has already arrested criminal illegal aliens convicted of endangering the welfare of a child and aggravated assault.   “We have launched Operation Catch of the Day to target the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens in the state,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.   DHS has launched similar “named” operations in cities and states across the U.S., including Operation Patriot in Massachusetts, Operation Catahoula Crunch in New Orleans, Operation Buckeye in Ohio, Operation Charlotte’s Web in Charlotte, North Carolina, Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago, and Operation Metro Surge in the Twin Cities.  OPERATION CATCH OF THE DAY.On the first day of operations in Maine, we arrested illegal aliens convicted of aggravated assault, false imprisonment, and child abuse.@GovJanetMills and her fellow sanctuary politicians have made it abundantly clear that they would rather stand…— Homeland Security (@DHSgov) January 21, 2026 “The reality is that ICE is active nationwide, but it typically draws media attention only during large-scale operations,” Marguerite Telford, director of communications at the Center for Immigration Studies, says.   The Department of Homeland Security does not publicize future locations of where it plans to launch a large-scale operation, but there are a number of communities across the U.S. with high populations of illegal aliens that have yet to large immigration enforcement operations.   Boston  Telford gave a “reasonable guess that DHS may launch a large operation in Boston, “where both the governor and mayor have publicly opposed ICE enforcement efforts.”   Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, a Democrat, has accused ICE of “cruel and callous behavior.”   Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, also a Democrat, said ICE operations “are destabilizing communities, creating intimidation, fear.”  Boston is a sanctuary city, and the state has policies that limit local and state law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration officials.   “If local officials want to avoid enforcement surges in their cities, they should allow ICE access to local jails so officers can safely take custody of criminal aliens without risking public safety,” Telford says.   New York State While immigration agents have conducted operations in New York City, Simon Hankinson, a senior research fellow for the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation, says large operations outside the city might carry strategic value.   In communities in upstate New York “without large leftie concentrations,” local law enforcement have a higher likelihood of working with federal immigration officials to find and detain illegal aliens, Hankinson explains.   Hartford, Connecticut   There are 64,000 “noncitizens” living in Hartford and 265,400 across Connecticut, according to the research and advocacy group Vera Institute of Justice.   In August, ICE conducted a four-day operation in Connecticut, resulting in the apprehension of 65 illegal aliens, according to DHS.   Connecticut is a “sanctuary” state, according to the Department of Justice.   New Jersey  In early 2024, bus loads of illegal aliens were dropped off in New Jersey, which maintains a large migrant population, according to the Immigration Policy Institute.   New Jersey’s “unauthorized population” is estimated around 476,000, the policy group reports.   While New Jersey is not a sanctuary state, Newark and Jersey City, the state’s two largest cities, are sanctuary cities, according to the DOJ.   Seattle   As of 2023, about 375,000 illegal aliens lived in Washington state, making up about 5% of the state’s population, according to Axios.   Seattle is the largest city in Washington, and an ICE field office already exists in the city, but DHS has not reported significant enforcement operations in the West Coast community.   Seattle is a “sanctuary city,” according to the DOJ.   The post With ICE Agents Arriving in Maine, Where Will They Deploy Next?  appeared first on The Daily Signal.
