Homan slams ‘buffoon' Nadler over comments on ICE agent attacks
'What attacks on ICE agents?' Nadler asked in a clip that aired on Fox News.
'This buffoon knows exactly what attacks — his party is the one encouraging them,' Homan responded on X. 'ICE agents are facing an 830% increase in assaults because of smears from the left. Their words have consequences. We won't let them pretend they don't.'
ICE enforcement actions have been met by protesters in several high-profile incidents, most recently in Camarillo, Calif., where 200 people without legal status in the U.S. were arrested in a raid at a marijuana farm. Agents used tear gas to disperse protesters, and one person died after falling from a roof during the raid.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials have also targeted Democratic lawmakers on the basis of claims they have attacked immigration officers.
Rep. LaMonica Iver (D-N.J.), for example, pleaded not guilty to an assault charge stemming from an incident where her elbows appeared to come into contact with an officer during a crowded scene.
In his response to Nadler, Homan cited a DHS statistic released last week, claiming assaults against ICE agents are at an 830 percent increase, more than double the 413 percent increase it claimed in May. The agency claims that Democratic officials and media reports have encouraged assaults against agents.

46 Pictures That Sum Up Living In The US Right Now
I feel so bad for kids nowadays. I mean, I'm not surprised they feel this way. Jesus. We live in the Bad Place. Oh, cool, this doesn't sound dystopian at all! As if Palantir wasn't a scary enough company without reminding you that it's watching with this massive ad. ...Yeah, not really feeling like this is a r/MadeMeSmile situation. It should not have cost $41k to begin with. And it should not take two decades to pay off student loans. We shouldn't have to donate plasma from our bodies to afford books for school. College already costs an arm and a leg, and then they charge prices like this just to access course materials. This is not the heartwarming story it's framed as. Neither is this. One of the things I hate most about Trumpism is that he's given every misogynistic, xenophobic, racist asshole permission to be a massive misogynistic, xenophobic, racist asshole in public. I heard this ad recently in a taxi. For reference, over 90% of NYC taxi drivers were born outside the US, as of 2020. "No one wants to work anymore" for a reason, it seems. want to work. But they're not even getting past the door. Remind me again why people who work part-time (who, btw, are also probably working another job or in school), can't have time off? The fact that police violence is so bad that this needs to exist is pretty damning. Can AI help make the world a better place? Maybe one day. But so far, AI is giving a ton of inaccurate info, creating dangerous situations, and spewing stuff like this. Remind me who said Trump would pay for these tariffs? I feel like there's an easier way to protect kids from death via gunshot wound ( gun laws?), but okay. This is the state of American healthcare. As is this. Imagine denying someone a CANE. In case you need a more damning indictment of American healthcare, here ya go. We wouldn't need to have cards to remind ICE and law enforcement agents of our rights if they weren't trying to violate those rights. This is concerning as hell. "I never thought Leopards would eat MY face!!!!" And yet this is what rural states voted for. The fact that this question is even being landlords deserve jail time. Oh man, we are so, so cooked. Sounds about right for America. Cool, glad investors can benefit from this. Well, as long as the investors are good! Is this legal? Why are younger people paid less for the same work? This is where we're at now. This is why people can't buy homes. What happens when we all get priced out of any housing at all? Yep, that pretty much sums it up. The whole internet's full of paywalls. Since most people get their news from the all pretty much screwed. Remember when we fought a war so that we wouldn't have a king? Look how far we've fallen. This is horrifying. What in the propaganda...? Sorry, how is this different from the bus, and why is it more expensive? suspicious. And Brother is watching, y'all.

Japan votes in a key election as Prime Minsiter Ishiba faces a loss and political uncertainty
Japan Election TOKYO (AP) — Japanese were voting Sunday for seats in the smaller of Japan's two parliamentary houses in a key election with Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and his ruling coalition facing a possible defeat that could worsen the country's political instability. Voters were deciding half of the 248 seats in the upper house, the less powerful of the two chambers in Japan's Diet. Early results were expected Sunday night. Ishiba has set the bar low, wanting a simple majority of 125 seats, which means his Liberal Democratic Party and its Buddhist-backed junior coalition partner Komeito need to win 50 to add to the 75 seats they already have. That is a big retreat from the 141 seats they had pre-election, but media surveys predict big setbacks for Ishiba. A poor performance on Sunday would not immediately trigger a change of government because the upper house lacks the power to file no-confidence against a leader, but it would certainly deepen uncertainty over his fate and Japan's political stability. Ishiba would face calls from within the LDP party to step down or find another coalition partner. Soaring prices, lagging incomes and burdensome social security payments are the top issues for frustrated, cash-strapped voters. Stricter measures targeting foreign residents and visitors have also emerged as a key issue, with a surging right-wing populist party leading the campaign. Sunday's vote comes after Ishiba's coalition lost a majority in the October lower house election, stung by past corruption scandals, and his unpopular government has since been forced into making concessions to the opposition to get legislation through parliament. It has been unable to quickly deliver effective measures to mitigate rising prices, including Japan's traditional staple of rice, and dwindling wages. U.S. President Donald Trump has added to the pressure, complaining about a lack of progress in trade negotiations, and the lack of sales of U.S. autos and American-grown rice to Japan despite a shortfall in domestic stocks of the grain. A 25% tariff due to take effect Aug. 1 has been another blow for Ishiba. Ishiba has resisted any compromise before the election, but the prospect for a breakthrough after the election is just as unclear because the minority government would have difficulty forming a consensus with the opposition. Frustrated voters are rapidly turning to emerging populist parties. The eight main opposition groups, however, are too fractured to forge a common platform as a united front and gain voter support as a viable alternative. The emerging populist party Sanseito stands out with the toughest anti-foreigner stance with its 'Japanese First' platform that proposes a new agency to centralize policies related to foreigners. The party's populist platform also includes anti-vaccine, anti-globalism and favors traditional gender roles. Conservative to centrist opposition groups, including the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, or CDPJ, the DPP, and Sanseito have gained significant ground at the Liberal Democrats' expense. The spread of xenophobic rhetoric in the election campaign and on social media has triggered protests by human rights activists and alarmed foreign residents. The LDP has almost continuously dominated Japan's postwar politics, contributing to its political stability and social conformity. Solve the daily Crossword

‘Monster' illegal immigrant accused of decapitating woman nabbed by ICE after judge set him free three months ago
An illegal immigrant accused of decapitating a missing woman and stashing her body in a bleach-filled container was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement — three months after an Illinois judge let him walk on the gruesome charges, officials said. Mexican national Jose Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez, 52, was nabbed Saturday afternoon at a Chicago market after being charged with concealing and abusing the corpse of Megan Bos in April, the Department of Homeland Security told Fox News. Lake County Judge Randie Bruno shockingly cut the perp loose after his first court appearance. Advertisement 4 Jose Luis Mendoza-Gonzalez, 52, was arrested by ICE in Chicago Saturday afternoon. FOX News 'It is absolutely repulsive this monster walked free on Illinois' streets after allegedly committing such a heinous crime,' a DHS spokesperson told the outlet. 'Megan Bos and her family will have justice.' Advertisement 4 Megan Bos, 37, was reported missing in March — just one month before her body was found. FOX News Mendoza-Gonzalez was first arrested in April after police discovered the 37-year-old victim's headless body stuffed inside a bleach-soaked storage bin in the yard of his Waukegan home, officials said. He allegedly told police the woman, who was reported missing in March after vanishing in February, had overdosed at his home, and instead of calling authorities, broke her phone, hid her body in the basement for two days, and later moved it outside, the outlet reported. 4 The Mexican national will now remain in ICE custody after a Illinois judge cut him loose back in April. FOX News Advertisement But police said Bos's corpse had been rotting in his yard for nearly two months before it was found. Mendoza-Gonzalez was locked up but released about 48 hours later under the state's controversial SAFE-T Act, which abolished cash bail and allows judges to determine jail time, no matter how severe the crime is, Antioch Mayor Scott Gartner said at the time. 'I was shocked to find out literally the next day that the person that they had arrested for this had been released from prison under the SAFE-T Act less than, detained less, I think, than 48 hours,' he said, the outlet reported. 4 The headless body of Megan Bos was found in the alleged perp's yard in a bleach-filled storage bin. FOX News Advertisement 'There's other extenuating circumstances in this case. Not only the type of crime, how long the crime was concealed, the fact that the person that was arrested for this is not a U.S. citizen, and, you know, can maybe [flee] the country.' Mendoza-Gonzalez is now being held in ICE custody, officials said. DHS did not immediately respond to The Post's request for comment.
