President Trump shredded failed comedian Rosie O’Donnell on Saturday, calling her a “Threat to Humanity” and saying that he is giving “serious consideration” to revoking her U.S. citizenship.
The President posted on Truth Social this morning:
Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
It can be recalled that Rosie O’Donnell self-deported earlier this year because Trump was President.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the deranged Trump-hater went on an unhinged TikTok rant last weekend, blaming Trump and Republicans for the death caused by the floods in Texas and announcing that she is getting her Irish citizenship.
Rosie falsely claimed that “when the President gets all of the early warning systems and the weather forecasting abilities of the government, these are the results that we’re going to start to see on a daily basis.”
O’Donnell then spiraled into a tirade attacking Trump’s latest legislative win — the “One Big Beautiful Bill” — calling it “ridiculously immoral” and claiming “people will die as a result, and they’ve started already.”
Days earlier, she posted a Fourth of July message from her hole in Ireland and suggested that Americans should revolt to remove Trump from office, The Gateway Pundit reported.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has issued a statement vowing to prosecute criminals and Antifa militants doxing the personal information of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to the “fullest extent of the law.”
Several websites viewed by The Gateway Pundit have been published by far-left activists with photos and personal information about ICE agents, including their home addresses.
In a press release on Friday, DHS said, “ICE law enforcement is facing a nearly 700 percent increase in assaults against them. These doxxing websites that attempt to reveal ICE officers’ identity, and even their families and children, put our law enforcement grave danger as highly sophisticated gangs like Tren de Aragua and MS-13, criminal rings, murderers, and rapists can use this information to carry out attacks on federal law enforcement and their families.”
“We will prosecute those who dox ICE agents to the fullest extent of the law. These criminals are taking the side of vicious cartels and human traffickers,” said Secretary Noem.“We won’t allow it in America.”
Federal law enforcement and immigration officers have been under attack nationwide as liberal lawmakers demonize them over their efforts to remove illegal aliens.
DHS noted that just over the Fourth of July weekend, gunmen opened fire on Border Patrol and ICE officers in Texas on two separate occasions, seriously wounding two.
“Multiple organizations appear to be responsible for doxing these federal officers, including an anarchist and Antifa-affiliated group based in Portland called ‘Rose City Counter-Info’ and another called ‘The Crustian Daily,’” DHS said. “Both of these groups have published the names, pictures, and personal address of ICE officers on their websites.”
Fliers have also been posted in the neighborhoods of officers, displaying their names, addresses, and photos of them and their families. DHS provided example photos of the fliers, which read, “NO PEACE FOR ICE” and “CHINGA LA MIGRA,” which translates to “f-ck immigration services.”
“Others have trespassed on an official’s personal property, dumping trash on their front lawn and directly threatening this officer by name,” DHS said.
The department placed the blame at the feet of Democrat politicians.
“Prominent politicians are actively encouraging these attacks by demonizing federal law enforcement, refusing to cooperate with lawful immigration enforcement, and even assaulting law enforcement themselves,” the press release concluded. “In addition, sanctuary cities like Portland prevent local city and state police from working with federal law enforcement. Not only does this leave their own communities vulnerable to crime and violence, but it creates an unsafe environment on the ground as federal and local law enforcement are unable to coordinate their activities.”
That there is a dinosaur fossil in a museum filled with such things might not seem like news, but the latest find in the Denver Museum of Nature and Science came from under its own parking lot.
In January, the museum drilled some holes to see about the feasibility of geothermal energy, leading the scientists to drill some core samples 763 feet below the surface.
One stood out, until the realization hit that they had found some vertebrae from a dinosaur.
“My jaw fell on the floor,” geology curator James Hagadorn said, according to The Washington Post. “My eyes were about as big as saucers.”
“In my 35 years at the museum, we’ve never had an opportunity quite like this, to study the deep geologic layers beneath our feet with such precision,” said earth sciences research associate Bob Raynolds, according to CBS. “That this fossil turned up here, in City Park, is nothing short of magical.”
The hole drilled was only a couple of inches wide, according to the Associated Press.
“Finding a dinosaur bone in a core is like hitting a hole in one from the moon. It’s like winning the Willy Wonka factory. It’s incredible, it’s super rare,” Hagadorn said.
Scientists believe the dinosaur whose vertebrae were found in the core sample lived about 67.5 million years ago. Fossilized vegetation was also found in the hole, according to AP.
“This animal was living in what was probably a swampy environment that would have been heavily vegetated at the time,” Patrick O’Connor, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, said.
The find was the “deepest and oldest dinosaur fossil ever found within the city’s limits,” the museum said in a news release, according to ABC.
The vertebra was from a plant-eating dinosaur, with the experts tossing out the possibility that it was a Thescelosaurus or Edmontosaurus.
“It was absolutely incredible. The first thing you say is, ‘Are you sure? Is this real? Are you playing a joke on me?’” Hagadorn said. “That’s like finding a diamond deposit under the world’s largest gem store or an archeological site buried underneath the parking lot of an archeological museum.”
Hagadorn noted that dinosaur fossils were found in the building of Coors Field and the Denver International Airport, he said.
“The exciting thing to me is that there’s the potential to find more, and that’s both thrilling in the sense of discovery, but it’s also interesting because these things are good for science, they tell us about our place, they tell us about our ecosystems [and] they tell us how the plane has changed. So it’s a win, win, win,” he said.
Although the fossil pieces found will go on display, the rest of the dinosaur will remain where it is.
“In order to go that deep, you’ve got to dig a very big hole and then hold that hole open either by lining it or making it tapered. If we think about a tapered hole that goes down that deep, that would probably consume all our parking lot and maybe part of the museum, too. So, boy, it’s fun to think about, but I think it’s unlikely,” Hagadorn said.
But the wonder of what lies down there intrigues him.
“The layers of Earth underneath us tell us stuff that’s useful, whether that information is from a fossil or a mineral or some water that’s flowing underfoot,” he said. “Imagine what’s underneath your house or mine. Who knows?”
The State Department began laying off more than 1,300 employees on Friday as part of a sweeping reorganization aimed at reducing waste and eliminating redundancy.
The layoffs, which began on Friday, resulted in the elimination of 1,107 civil service worker positions and 246 foreign service officer positions, according to internal notices obtained by multiple outlets.

In all, 1,353 positions were eliminated in this initial wave, with officials signaling that this is only the beginning of a larger effort to cut as many as 3,000 jobs.
According to a report from the New York Post, “Employees began receiving termination notices in the morning informing them that their positions were being ‘abolished.’”
“Headcount reductions have been carefully tailored to affect non-core functions, duplicative or redundant offices,” a message sent to the fired staffers said.
“By afternoon, several laid-off staffers were spotted tearfully departing the State Department’s headquarters. They were met by a crowd of clapping supporters outside the Harry S. Truman Building, near the White House,” the Post report continued. “Affected foreign service officers will be placed on administrative leave for 120 days before officially losing their jobs. The separation period for civil servants will be 60 days.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the layoffs will make the department “more efficient and more focused.”
“It’s not a consequence of trying to get rid of people. But if you close the bureau, you don’t need those positions,” Rubio said while speaking to the press on Thursday. “Understand that some of these are positions that are being eliminated, not people.”
China is conducting increasingly sophisticated satellite maneuvers in orbit, essentially rehearsing attacks on U.S. space-based infrastructure critical for navigation, communication, and missile targeting. China’s expanding space capabilities also extend to what military officials call a “kill mesh”, a networked targeting system that connects multiple sensors, platforms, and weapons in a decentralized web where data flows in multiple directions and engagements can occur from several nodes simultaneously. Apart from disrupting U.S. satellites and space assets, this kill mesh can also be used to target U.S. ships at sea.
At the McAleese defense conference in March 2025, U.S. Space Force Vice Chief of Operations Gen. Michael Guetlein reported that five Chinese space objects, three Shiyan-24C experimental satellites and two Shijian-6 intelligence-gathering spacecraft, were observed executing synchronized, controlled maneuvers in low Earth orbit.
These exercises, described by Space Force as “dogfighting in space,” are not routine operations. “They are practicing tactics, techniques, and procedures to conduct on-orbit operations from one satellite to another,” Guetlein warned. In the general’s estimation, these satellites are training to disable or destroy American space assets.
Beyond physical attacks, China has also expanded its electronic warfare (EW) capabilities. Its arsenal includes jamming systems targeting GPS, radar, and multiple communications platforms. In 2015, China used GPS jamming to interfere with U.S. surveillance flights over the Spratly Islands, an early example of its willingness to disrupt American drone networks and space-based positioning systems.
Guetlein further cautioned that China and Russia are fielding satellites with advanced offensive capabilities, including grappling arms, anti-satellite payloads, and “nesting doll” devices, satellites that can release secondary, hostile systems. Some Chinese satellites now “shadow” U.S. systems, behaving provocatively and violating international norms, heightening the risk of escalation in orbit.
Since testing a direct-ascent anti-satellite (ASAT) missile in 2007 and launching a geosynchronous ASAT in 2013, China has rapidly expanded its space-based military capabilities. The creation of its independent Aerospace Force in April 2024, placed directly under the Central Military Commission, marked a decisive step in transforming space into an operational warfighting domain. The PLA Aerospace Force consolidates all space-based C4ISR systems, launch sites, and military satellites, representing China’s commitment to space as a primary theater of operations.
One of the most significant developments is China’s evolution from a traditional “kill chain” model to what U.S. military officials describe as a “kill mesh” or “kill web.” Gen. Michael Guetlein, Vice Chief of Space Operations, explained that Chinese ISR capabilities (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) have become “very capable,” shifting from sequential operations to dynamic, networked systems.
While traditional kill chains follow a linear sequence, Find, Fix, Track, Target, Engage, Assess, that can break down if any link is disrupted, kill meshes connect multiple sensors, platforms, and weapon systems in a decentralized web where data flows in multiple directions and engagement can occur from several nodes simultaneously.
Gen. Stephen Whiting of U.S. Space Command warned that China has constructed an extensive satellite network designed to detect, track, and target U.S. forces across all domains. Since 2018, China has more than tripled its on-orbit intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance satellites, with General Whiting noting that “China is moving at a breathtaking speed” and has “built a kill web over the Pacific Ocean to find, fix, track and, yes, target United States and allied military capabilities.”
China has added over 400 satellites in the past two years, with more than half capable of tracking objects on Earth. General Bradley Saltzman, Chief of Space Operations, stated that “The PRC has more than 470 intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance satellites feeding a robust sensor-shooter kill web.” Satellites concentrated over the Indo-Pacific region continuously feed intelligence to Chinese military commanders, enabling precise targeting of distant assets and complicating Western military operations.
Chinese researchers have developed advanced tracking algorithms capable of identifying U.S. warships anywhere in the world using low-resolution satellite imagery, analyzing wake patterns as unique signatures, even when ships appear smaller than a single pixel. The launch of Yaogan-41, an optical surveillance satellite in geostationary orbit, provides round-the-clock surveillance of the entire Indo-Pacific region.
Combined with AI algorithms and computational resources, this capability makes it difficult for the United States and allies to hide vessels larger than an automobile in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. China has also deployed the Liaowang-1, a next-generation maritime space tracking vessel that extends monitoring capabilities to U.S. and allied naval movements, space launches, and satellite trajectories on a near-global scale.
Colonel Raj Agrawal, commander of the U.S. Space Force Space Delta 2 unit, noted that “The Chinese have demonstrated clear intent with what they are fielding in space, and that intent is for the projection of power in the Indo-Pacific.
The Chinese are posturing forces in such a way to make the Indo-Pacific prohibitive in terms of U.S. and allied freedom of maneuver.” Beijing’s space-enabled capabilities could be used to target Taiwan directly, expanding the range of its ballistic missiles to a distance that makes intervention more challenging if America responded to an invasion of Taiwan.
China’s anti-satellite (ASAT) capabilities have advanced significantly as well. The SC-19 system, based on a modified DF-21 ballistic missile with a kinetic kill vehicle, is now believed to be fully operational. U.S. intelligence assesses that the PLA is actively training with SC-19 missiles launched from mobile TEL platforms, giving China the ability to strike low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites at altitudes up to 2,000 kilometers. China is also reportedly developing ASAT weapons capable of reaching geosynchronous orbit (GEO), threatening the entire range of U.S. and allied satellite assets.
Separately, Chinese researchers have developed a next-generation electronic warfare system using 6G technology. Led by Professor Deng Lei at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, the project reportedly enables unprecedented jamming and communications disruption, targeting advanced radar systems like the AN/APG-85 used in U.S. F-35 stealth fighters.
As China rapidly advances its technology, space is becoming the next theater of war. America must continue to invest and innovate to prevent China from establishing dominance.
Russia’s Lavrov and US Secretary Rubio: diplomatic engagement between the nuclear superpowers in ongoing.
While the war between Russia and Ukraine is raging, the diplomatic work of the US Donald J. Trump administration doesn’t stop.
While talks between the two camps on rebuilding diplomatic and commercial ties have been frozen, ongoing contact continues between the US State Department and the Russian Foreign Ministry.
On Thursday, Secretary Marco Rubio and Russian Minister Sergey Lavrov met on the sidelines of the ASEAN summit in Malaysia. This was their second encounter since Rubio took office, although they have spoken by phone several times.
Watch: Rubio and Lavrov in a friendly atmosphere, shake hands in the sidelines of ASEAN.
NEW:

While Rubio expressed disappointment over the ‘lack of substantial progress’ on the peace process in Ukraine, he called the ‘frank’ talks productive.
The US received new, previously undisclosed proposals from Russia regarding the settlement of the conflict, and discussed potential ideas for a ‘roadmap’ to end the Ukrainian conflict.
“’I echoed what the (US) president (Donald J. Trump) said, both a disappointment and frustration at the lack of progress’, Rubio told reporters following talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. ‘We need to see a roadmap moving forward about how this (war) can conclude. And then we shared some ideas about what that might look like’, he said after the 50-minute meeting.”
Lavrov presented a new proposal for peace in Ukraine.
Rubio said the Russian side presented a ‘new and different approach’ on how to end its war, now well into its fourth year.
“’I wouldn’t characterize it as something that guarantees peace, but it’s a concept that, you know, that I’ll take back to the president. […] We’re going to continue to stay involved where we see opportunities to make a difference’.”
The talks were held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on the sidelines of the annual Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) forum including Russia, China, Japan, South Korea, European nations and the US.
“Their first meeting took place in February in the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh, as the Trump administration sought to test Russia and Ukraine on their willingness to make peace.
Thursday’s meeting took place shortly after the US resumed some shipments of defensive weapons to Ukraine, following a pause that was ostensibly for the Pentagon to review domestic munitions stocks, which was welcomed in Moscow.”
Watch: Rubio comments on the meeting.

In a shocking case that captured national attention, Justin D. Mohn, a 33-year-old resident of Levittown, Pennsylvania, was found guilty of murdering his father and posting a video of himself holding the severed head on YouTube.
Mohn was found guilty of murder on Friday and sentenced to two life sentences without the possibility of parole.
Mohn shot his 68-year-old father, Michael F. Mohn, with a pistol at his home in January 2024. He then decapitated the body and uploaded a 14-minute video to YouTube displaying his father’s severed head.
In the video, Mohn ranted about various issues, including the government, immigration, border control, fiscal policy, urban crime, and the war in Ukraine. He called his father a “traitor” and urged others to join him in overthrowing the U.S. government.
“This is the head of Mike Mohn, a federal employee of over 20 years and my father. He is now in hell for eternity as a traitor to his country,” the killer said in the video.
Mohn continued, “It is said those who commit treason and betray others occupy the lowest pits of hell for all time. The federal government of America has declared war on America’s citizens and the American states. America is rotting from the inside out as far-left woke mobs rampage our once-prosperous cities, turning them into lawless zones.”
He went on to call for a “revolution” against the “Biden regime.”
“If I am captured or killed, do not give up. This is America and our freedoms we are fighting for. This is our children’s futures we are fighting for. Joe Biden is no longer in power. I am now officially the acting president of America under martial law. If Joe Biden does not abdicate, then capture him and bring him to me.”
“Our federal employees are listening to this message. Now is your last chance to resign from the side of the traitors and join your countrymen in taking back your country, or else this is your fate,” Mohn said.
The video, titled “Call to Arms for American Patriots,” was online for several hours before being removed by the platform.
Mohn waived his right to a jury trial, opting instead for a bench trial presided over by Bucks County Judge Stephen A. Corr. He was convicted not only of first-degree murder but also of additional charges, including possession of an instrument of crime, gun-related offenses, criminal use of a communication facility, terroristic threats, defiant trespassing, and abuse of a corpse
Michael Mohn worked for 20 years as an engineer in the geoenvironmental section of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Philadelphia District. Victim impact statements portrayed him as a loving husband and father.
Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn spoke to reporters after the sentencing and said Mohn had exhibited a “complete and utter lack of remorse”, and called it an “unimaginable, unfathomable crime,” according to a report from The Gleaner.
“It’s unimaginable what the defendant did to his father and to his family,” Schorn said. “I know this verdict does provide some level of justice, but it will never heal their wounds.”
A Kentucky school board chairman has resigned after social media posts were uncovered in which he allegedly called for people to “shoot Republicans.”
Jeffrey Miller had been the chairman of Erlanger-Elsmere Independent School District since 2016, and the post in question was made in 2018.
The post was a reaction to a mass shooting in Jacksonville. Miller wrote, “i’d be ok with the NRA if these psychos were just once the victims of a mass shooting. WINK WINK: please shoot republicans.”
Kentucky Republican State Representative Steven Doan told Fox News that he was receiving complaints about Miller after the post was unearthed and circulated throughout the community.
“This began with a request that the school reopen a track at the High School,” Doan said. “I made a post about it on my Facebook page to see where the community stood. This is when I began receiving social media messages from community members. They said that they wanted to publicly support me and my position, but they feared retaliation.”
Doan then received a text message about Miller from a constituent who feared retaliation. The message read, “I cannot make it to the meeting tonight and I fear for my son’s graduation if I post something public. I hope you know the kind of men Chad Molley and Jeffery Miller are for this meeting. The superintendent is allowing a board member to stay on the board after threatening mass shootings against Republicans by the NRA.”
The message continued, “Yes, he apologized but as a hush-hush, so kids could play football in 2020. It was a concession. Yes, it is old news, but as a public figure, he is, well should be, held to a higher standard, especially to affect children. I spoke with a member of the board already and was informed he has to not be elected again. I do not think enough people know what he did in 2020.”
In June, Doan called for Miller’s resignation. After he did so, he was informed of other posts by Miller, including ones that said “f-ck the police” and expressed other far-left extremist views.
On Thursday, Miller stepped down.
It took the entire community to remove this man, now we must find a replacement who will stand up for our children and community. https://t.co/G5RG7x2QoM
Doan posted about it on X, writing, “It took the entire community to remove this man, now we must find a replacement who will stand up for our children and community.”
Tucker Carlson unloaded on Ben Shapiro during his speech at Turning Point USA’s Conservative Student Action Summit in Tampa on Friday night for his “absurd” dismissal of concerns over the Jeffrey Epstein files, accusing him of blindly trusting the government and discouraging tough questions.
Earlier this week, the Department of Justice said that Epstein had no secret “client list” of elite pedophiles and reaffirmed his 2019 death was a “suicide.” When questioned about the findings by a reporter, President Donald Trump grew irritated and asked, “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?”
The handling of the case has prompted calls for Attorney General Pam Bondi’s resignation and massive discontent within the MAGA movement.
In a video about the news, Shapiro urged his followers to move on and parroted the government’s claims about what happened.
“I don’t have any reason to believe those people are lying to me, and they have better information than I do,” Shapiro said. “All I can do, rationally speaking, from my own perspective, is say that I believe them.”
Ben Shapiro fully accepts the DOJ and FBI’s official account of Epstein’s death and urges his audience to trust it as well.
Carlson took issue with Shapiro’s take and made it known to a room packed with young conservatives.
“I watched Ben Shapiro yesterday,” Carlson began as the crowd booed.
Tucker: I watched Ben Shapiro yesterday — before you boo him I thought he made a solid point. He was like It happened a long time ago, who cares — by the way, we should trust the government and whatever the bureaucrats tell us and it is wrong to ask questions. I want to go on… pic.twitter.com/ixrnGiVsQI
Carlson continued, “No, before you boo him, I thought he made a really solid point. He’s like, ‘It happened a long time ago. Who cares? And by the way, we should trust the government and whatever the bureaucrats tell us. And by the way, it’s wrong to ask a lot of unauthorized questions.’”
“I just wanna go on the record to say that, no, that’s absurd. And it’s exactly the kind of thinking that I personally voted against in the last election,” Carlson said.
During his speech, Carlson also asserted that Epstein was working on behalf of the Israeli government.
NOW – Tucker Carlson says Epstein was “working on behalf” of Israel and Israel was “committing crimes” on American soil. pic.twitter.com/txbMbJCzzj
I think the real answer is Jeffrey Epstein was working on behalf of intel services, probably not American. And we have every right to ask, on whose behalf was he working? How does a guy go from being a math teacher at the Dalton School in thelate 70s with no college degree to having multiple airplanes, a private island, and the largest residential house in Manhattan? Where did all the money come from? And no one has ever gotten to the bottom of that because no one has ever tried. And moreover, it’s extremely obvious to anyone who watches, that this guy had direct connections to a foreign government.
Now, no one’s allowed to say that the foreign government is Israel because we have been somehow cowed into thinking that’s naughty. [cheers] There is nothing wrong with saying that. There is nothing hateful about saying that. There’s nothing anti-Semitic about saying that. There’s nothing even anti-Israel about saying that…
And you have the right to expect your government will not act against your interests, and you have a right to demand that foreign governments not be allowed to act against your interests. [cheers] That’s not creepy. It shouldn’t be forbidden. And yet all of us have trained ourselves to believe that you can’t say that somehow. That that’s like too naughty and forbidden. And the effect of making that off-limits has been to create a lot of resentment and I’ll say it, hate online, where people feel like they can’t just say, “What the hell is this? You have the former Israeli prime minister living in your house? You have all this contact with a foreign government. Were you working on behalf of them? Were you running a blackmail operation on behalf of a foreign government?
By the way, every single person in Washington, D.C. thinks that. I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t think that. I don’t know any of them that hate Israel. But no one feels they can say that. Why? And I think the longer we play along with it, the more subterranean and creepy and hateful the conversation becomes. So, I think it’s better just to say it right out loud.
Approximately 200 illegal aliens were arrested, and one person is dead, after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers faced gunfire from a rioter while conducting operations at two marijuana grow sites in California on Thursday.
The officers were conducting criminal warrant operations at marijuana farms operated by the Glass House Brands Inc. in Carpinteria and Camarillo when the chaos unfolded.
In a press release on Friday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said, “During the operation, at least 10 migrant children were rescued from potential exploitation, forced labor, and human trafficking. Federal officers also arrested approximately 200 illegal aliens from both sites in Carpinteria and Camarillo.”
“During the operation, more than 500 rioters attempted to disrupt operations,” the press release continued. “Four U.S. citizens are being criminally processed for assaulting or resisting officers. The rioters damaged vehicles and one violent agitator fired a gun at law enforcement officers.”
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is offering a $50,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest of the shooter.
United Farm Workers posted a statement on social media on Friday confirming the death of a farm worker who was attempting to flee from officers.
“We tragically can confirm that a farm worker has died of injuries they sustained as a result of yesterday’s immigration enforcement action,” the organization wrote in a post on X.

The Department of Homeland Security responded to the news of the worker’s death in a post on X.
This man was not in and has not been in CBP or ICE custody. Although he was not being pursued by law enforcement, this individual climbed up to the roof of a green house and fell 30 feet. CBP immediately called a medivac to the scene to get him care as quickly as possible.

The company has claimed that they did not intentionally hire child workers.
“Glass House has never knowingly violated applicable hiring practices and does not and has never employed minors,” the company said in a post on X. “We do not expect this to affect operations moving forward. We will provide additional details when applicable.”
Yesterday, Glass House Brands received immigration and naturalization warrants. As per the law, we verified that the warrants were valid and we complied.
Workers were detained and we are assisting to provide them legal representation.
Glass House has never knowingly violated…

“At the California marijuana facilities, ICE and CBP law enforcement rescued at least 10 migrant children from what looks like exploitation, forced child labor, and potentially human trafficking or smuggling. Our law enforcement also arrested nearly 200 illegal aliens,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin in a statement.
McLaughlin continued, “During the operation, a violent agitator fired a gun at our brave officers. While ICE and CBP officers are being assaulted by rioters and dodging bullets to save children, Sanctuary politicians are demonizing ICE and CBP. We will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law anyone who assaults or doxes federal law enforcement.”
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has defended the marijuana farms and the illegal aliens working at them.
