An illegal immigrant hit an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer with his car as the officer attempted to arrest him during a Sunday traffic stop in Florida, The Daily Wire has learned. Henry Isaul Garcia reversed his car — which was carrying three other illegal immigrants — into the ICE officer’s leg before “nearly crushing him,” the Department of Homeland Security told The Daily Wire. The Guatemalan citizen then hit multiple ICE vehicles during the traffic stop in Homestead, Florida, before speeding off and colliding with a black utility van. The illegal immigrant’s crushed vehicle was recovered at the scene. Garcia and his illegal immigrant passengers then ran out of the car, but were ultimately nabbed by the feds, according to DHS. Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said “sanctuary politicians” who “have openly encouraged and provided tips for how to evade our ICE officers” are to blame for the latest attack. “We are praying for the speedy recovery of our law enforcement officer,” McLaughlin told The Daily Wire. “The violence against our brave ICE law enforcement must come to an end. This is the second incident in a week where an officer was injured while arresting an illegal alien.” The illegal immigrant hit multiple ICE vehicles and a van before he tried to evade arrest. The latest attack comes amid a 1,000% increase in assaults on ICE officers as they carry out President Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign. In one recent example, an ICE officer in Chicago was hit and dragged by an illegal immigrant driver. The federal officer responded by shooting the driver, who was later pronounced dead. “This type of rhetoric is contributing to our ICE officers facing a more than 1000% increase in assaults against them. It is time to tone down the rhetoric,” said McLaughlin. Credit: Photo by David Dee Delgado/Getty Images. The injured ICE officer is in stable condition after being treated at a local hospital, DHS said. The group of illegal immigrants was also transported to a hospital, before they were discharged and booked into ICE detention. Garcia crossed the United States-Mexico border illegally into Eagle Pass, Texas, in March 2022, when more than 222,000 migrants streamed into the country with the promise of the Biden administration’s problematic catch-and-release policy.

The United States military bombed another drug boat in the Caribbean Sea on Monday, killing several “narcoterrorists” and destroying a load of lethal, illicit drugs, according to President Donald Trump. The president posted about the strike on Monday afternoon alongside an “unclassified” video clip showing the hit. The clip shows a boat with several people on board explode in flames and dark smoke. “This morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a SECOND Kinetic Strike against positively identified, extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility,” Trump posted. “The Strike occurred while these confirmed narcoterrorists from Venezuela were in International Waters transporting illegal narcotics (A DEADLY WEAPON POISONING AMERICANS!) headed to the U.S.” “These extremely violent drug trafficking cartels POSE A THREAT to U.S. National Security, Foreign Policy, and vital U.S. Interests,” he continued. “BE WARNED — IF YOU ARE TRANSPORTING DRUGS THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS, WE ARE HUNTING YOU!” The president said that three male drug traffickers were killed in the strike. No U.S. forces were harmed. . @POTUS “This morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a SECOND Kinetic Strike against positively identified, extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility.

That strike killed nearly a dozen drug traffickers, according to the president. U.S. naval vessels moved into the Caribbean Sea off the coast of Venezuela earlier this year in a move to pressure drug cartels, as well as box in Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, who the Trump administration has accused of heading major drug trafficking networks. The United States in August doubled its bounty on information leading to Maduro’s arrest, setting the bounty at $50 million. “Maduro uses foreign terrorist organizations like TDA, Sinaloa, and Cartel of the Suns to bring deadly drugs and violence into our country. To date, the DEA has seized 30 tons of cocaine linked to Maduro and his associates with nearly seven tons linked to Maduro himself,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah — who was with the outlet for just over a decade — was terminated over a Bluesky post in which she misquoted the recently-assassinated conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Attiah claimed in a Substack article that the outlet had fired her for doing her job as a journalist, saying that she’d only been “speaking out against political violence, racial double standards, and America’s apathy toward guns.” In a series of Bluesky posts, Attiah claimed that Americans would never take action on gun control because they were fine with sacrificing the lives of children in order to keep access to firearms — and “especially white America is not going to do what it needs to do to get rid of the guns in their country.” The only post that mentioned Kirk by name was a quote she attributed to him: “Black women do not have the brain-processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person’s slot.” “The Post accused my measured Bluesky posts of being ‘unacceptable,’ ‘gross misconduct’ and of endangering the physical safety of colleagues — charges without evidence, which I reject completely as false,” Attiah added. But as journalist Jerry Dunleavy noted, Attiah’s quote was inaccurate. She suggested, as a number of others had, that Kirk was referring to all black women when he said that they lacked “the brain-processing power to be taken seriously.” In reality, Kirk had directed that comment at a few specific black women: Michelle Obama, the late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, former MSNBC host Joy Reid, and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Karen Attiah says she has been fired by WaPo. In her Substack, she shares her post which had mentioned Charlie Kirk & doubles down — & it’s a fake quote! Charlie did not say this about “Black women” writ-large, he said it about Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Sheila Jackson Lee, & KBJ. pic.twitter.com/mN326WXKcS — Jerry Dunleavy IV ??
