Every Trait Disqualifying ICE Agent From Previous Jobs Ideal For Current One
WOODBINE, NJ—Saying the man's behavior and temperament had helped him excel in a difficult environment, sources confirmed Thursday that every trait disqualifying ICE agent Jake Clements from previous jobs had made him ideal for his current role. Several reports indicated the 29-year-old high school graduate, who had been dismissed from numerous past positions in food service and substitute teaching due to his short fuse and penchant for cruelty, had been rapidly promoted up the ranks at ICE for those very same characteristics. According to sources, the anger management issues and casual application of slurs that once resulted in Clements being escorted out of a data entry job now earned him effusive praise from supervisors who saw a bright future for him at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Colleagues within ICE noted that Clements' history of posting lengthy social media screeds denouncing immigrants for destroying a Christian nation—which had caused him to be automatically turned down for dozens of other jobs—would likely earn him a management position at the agency within five years. At press time, those familiar with Clements added that he was making fast friends with his fellow ICE agents for the same reason that he was estranged from his wife and had been abandoned by virtually all other acquaintances.

Democrats' push to ban ICE agents' masking shows whose side they're really on
New York's lefty lawmakers just blocked reviving the state's ban on masking by protesters, and now two Manhattan Democrats, Reps. Dan Goldman and Adriano Espaillat, have turned around to push a federal ban on masking by ICE agents, even when nabbing dangerous gangbangers. Their 'No Secret Police Act' would bar Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other Homeland Security officers from concealing their faces during civil immigration enforcement and require them to clearly display official ID and insignia. California Democrats are proposing a similar state ban on any face masks for law enforcement officers; expect other progressive bastions to join in. Advertisement Hmm: Homeland Security recently reported that ICE enforcement officers are facing a 413% increase in assaults against them. Plus, in the aftermath of the LA riots, 'ICE officers' family members have been doxed and targeted as well.' Reprisals against family of law-enforcers are a classic tactic of the cartels and gangs such as Tren de Aragua and MS-13. Advertisement Meanwhile, progressives are dead-set against stopping their allies from masking. Rioters and aggressive 'protesters' have been routinely concealing their faces since at least the 2020 anti-policing demonstrations; it's grown even more common among the 'tentifada' set in demos since Oct. 7, 2023. Anonymity not only makes it easier to get away with violent lawbreaking, it helps intimidate others and may encourage the masked to get out of control.

Gov. Kathy Hochul briefly sought just that this year, but progressives wouldn't let her get more than a symbolic crackdown that generally protects masked demonstrators. People engaged in principled, peaceful protest have no reason to hide their face. Advertisement And we even agree that masking by law enforcement should be strictly limited. But it's pretty strange to focus on outing the identities of officers trying to arrest illegal immigrants with ties to violent gangs even as your political compadres are protecting Antifa radicals and the new wave of antisemitic goons.

Man who helped Florida girl bitten by shark may be facing deportation
A man who ran into the water to help a 9-year-old girl after she was bitten by a shark in Florida may be facing deportation after he was arrested and accused of driving without a license days after the attack. Luis Alvarez, 31, of Lehigh Acres, in Lee County, Florida, around 140 miles northwest of Miami, was stopped about 1:30 a.m. on June 14 after police say he was driving without his headlights on. He was driving a gray SUV with a Rhode Island tag, according to the Collier County Sheriff's Office arrest report. Court records indicate he is being held in jail by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to reporting from the Fort Myers News-Press, part of the USA TODAY Network. He is scheduled to go before a judge on July 9. USA TODAY has reached out to ICE for more information. On the day of the arrest, at around 1:30 a.m. local time, police say Alvarez was driving a car without its headlights on when he was pulled over. When asked for his license, Alvarez called up a picture of his Employment Authorization Card on his phone. He told the arresting officer in Spanish that he had been in the country for two-and-a-half years and had never had a driver's license, according to the arrest report. Alvarez was arrested on a charge of driving without a license and was issued a warning for not having his headlights on. The arrest report said Alvarez is from Boaco, Nicaragua. Court records indicate he is being held in jail by ICE. Court records indicate Alvarez has no arrest history in Collier County. He was arrested on similar charges of not having a valid driver's license four times in Lee County, dating back to December 2023. Lee County is located in southwest Florida along the Gulf Coast. He paid fines or had adjudication withheld by three different judges. In the most recent case, the judge issued a D6 suspension on June 23, meaning since Alvarez had not paid his fine, he was unable to apply for a license. Alvarez was on the beach and ran into the water to help on June 11 when Leah Lendel, 9, was bitten by a shark. Lendel's hand was nearly severed after the attack, which happened in the ocean a few feet off the beach in Boca Grande, Florida. Lendel's hand was nearly severed, but fast action at the scene and an airlift to Tampa General Hospital allowed surgeons to reattach her hand. She is recovering. Alvarez went into the water first to scare the shark, her sister Raynel Lugo, who also helped during the rescue, said in an interview with Fox4 News. "He jumped in that area to bring her out when I was assisting Leah," said Lugo in the Fox4 interview. "He went deep underwater, not even caring about the shark. He went really deep. He probably faced the shark." Body camera footage from a Lee County Sheriff's Office Deputy who responded to the call shows the three men standing next to the water as Leah was being treated by EMS. Alvarez, through an interpreter, told first responders it looked like about an eight-foot shark. Experts later said it was possibly a bull shark, one of the more aggressive sharks in Florida waters.
