U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detained an illegal alien from Guatemala Sunday night at San Francisco International Airport, triggering a full-blown meltdown from the leftist mob.

According to multiple eyewitness videos now circulating online, federal agents moved in swiftly at SFO to apprehend a woman suspected of being in the country illegally.

What followed was a scene all too familiar in Democrat-run strongholds: a chaotic mob screaming at law enforcement, filming every second, and attempting to interfere with a lawful federal operation.

Footage shows San Francisco Police Department officers forming a perimeter around ICE agents as they carried out the detention.

Despite clear efforts to maintain order, agitators in the crowd shouted demands for badge numbers, hurled accusations, and attempted to obstruct the operation.

At the center of the chaos, the woman, seen resisting, was ultimately placed into a wheelchair by plainclothes federal agents.

Handcuffs appeared to be visible as she struggled, while a young child walked beside her, crying, a heartbreaking image that activists immediately seized on to fuel outrage online.

According to a Reddit post that posted the video:

“Very tired from traveling so this post will be rushed and might be kinda messy. Was leaving SFO around 10:30PM last night 3/22 when I heard yelling and saw a huge crowd of people. There were at least a dozen San Francisco police officers and a ridiculous amount of people gathered in a circle, some recording or talking on the phone.

When I got closer, I saw a woman kneeling on the ground next to a couch/bench with a little girl and the police officers were basically surrounding her, facing away so seemingly keeping the crowd away/hiding her from the crowd.

I asked a woman what happened, and she said she was there from the very beginning and saw it all. There were apparently two men in black + wearing backpacks who ran up and grabbed her passport, shoved her(?) and were keeping her there.

She seemed to not know for sure, but she suspected that they were ICE agents and the police officers were there to protect them. I could see at least one of these men talking with police officers. Just a few minutes later, I heard yelling again and when I looked back, people were running up and filming while police officers were trying to keep them away.

I saw the same woman as before now in a wheelchair in a very uncomfortable position (seemingly being shoved into it) and the small girl walking alongside her and crying. The two men in black were pushing the wheelchair/walking with her and there were a small group of officers/airport workers(?) going with her as well.

People were yelling that she was being taken from her family, telling her to hug her kid, damning the ICE agents, etc. I wasn’t really sure what was happening, so I filmed a video on my phone at a bad angle(I’ll try to attach it). Afterwards, I asked a couple people if they knew what happened and they kinda confirmed it was ICE and they took her away for “questioning”.

Does anyone have more information on what happened or any different angles? There were people much closer than me who definitely got better videos, so hopefully those come out soon.

I was already tired from traveling and was obviously not expecting to see something like this. I really hope her and her family are going to be okay. I’d like to hear if anyone has more info or if anyone else was there who saw/heard something I didn’t.”

DHS told Fox News that the viral incident at SFO airport involved ICE arresting a Guatemalan family that had been under a deportation order since 2019.

DHS statement to FOX:

“This arrest occurred BEFORE ICE officers were even deployed to airports to bolster TSA efforts to help American travelers who are facing hours long lines across the country.

“On March 22, 2026, ICE officers arrested Angelina Lopez-Jimenez and Wendy Godinez-Lopez at the San Francisco International Airport. The family has an outstanding final removal order of removal from an immigration judge since 2019.

“While being escorted to the international terminal for processing, Lopez-Jimenez attempted to flee and resisted law enforcement officers. ICE is working as quickly as possible to repatriate the family unit to their home country of Guatemala.”

The San Francisco Police Department was quick to distance itself from immigration enforcement, a predictable move given the city’s sanctuary status.

“Consistent with our City Charter, state law, and SFPD department policy, we do not assist in the enforcement of civil federal immigration laws,” SFPD said in a statement.

However, they admitted officers were on scene after responding to a 911 call and were present to maintain public safety, effectively acting as a buffer between federal agents and an increasingly hostile crowd.

San Francisco International Airport spokesperson Doug Yakel acknowledged the incident in a statement to SFGATE:

“We understand federal officers were transporting two individuals on an outbound flight when this incident occurred… We believe this is an isolated incident and have no reason to suspect broader enforcement action at SFO.”

“The airport’s role is to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the facility for all passengers and staff.”

The founder of one of the world’s most infamous websites has passed away at a young age.

As The Independent reported on Monday, billionaire OnlyFans owner Leonid Radvinsky died following “a long battle with cancer.” He was just 43 years old.

“We are deeply saddened to announce the death of Leo Radvinsky,” a spokesperson for OnlyFans said in a statement obtained by The Independent.

“Leo passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer.

“His family have requested privacy at this difficult time.”

Radvinsky was a Ukrainian-American entrepreneur who acquired the parent company of OnlyFans back in 2018.

According to Forbes, he was estimated to be worth about $4.7 billion at the time of his passing.

Forbes notes that Radvinsky was secretive and avoided giving the spotlight. However, he built his fortune following a career creating websites that claimed to direct people to child porn or bestiality.

Forbes found no evidence that these sites were linked to such repulsive content, but Radvinsky profited from every click.

OnlyFans was founded by British entrepreneur Tim Stokely in 2016. As of 2024, the website has over 377 million users.

OnlyFans has been widely criticized for exploiting its content creators and causing mental health harm. Worse, many have been abused and exploited by sex traffickers.

For every Sophie Rain, who has made over $100 million on OnlyFans, there are thousands more females struggling in poverty and fear.

Moreover, users have found the platform so addictive, like regular porn, that it has damaged their relationships with family members.

The Independent notes that the website took off during the COVID-19 pandemic, when everyone was locked down at home and searching for any form of interaction.

During a hearing in the Georgia legislature on March 17th, 2026, a 40-year IT professional testified during public comment and offered to show the committee evidence of vulnerabilities in the election software they use.

Mark Cook, who testified as an expert witness in Tina Peters’ trial in 2024, used his time during public comment to offer evidence to the Georgia House Governmental Affairs Committee as they considered a Georgia election bill.

The online recording of the hearing that includes public comment contains the following from Cook:

“I have evidence right here, that I was hoping to show you, that can show that there are absolutely, and I know you guys have heard this, but I’ve got the proof right here, backdoors built-in to electronic voting systems that allow flipping, changing of votes.  The testing labs all missed this.  Then they’re blindly certified.  Then we’re told that everything is safe and secure.  It’s absolutely not.”

Mysteriously, according to the timestamp shown in the top right corner, Cook’s public comment at one point goes from 1:02:18 to 1:02:29 instantly.  A cut in the testimony appears to have been made to his public comment.

Fortunately, Cook’s public comment was also recorded.  The following statement in bold was removed from Cook’s public comment:

“I have evidence right here, that I was hoping to show you, that can show that there are absolutely, and I know you guys have heard this, but I’ve got the proof right here, backdoors built-in to electronic voting systems that allow flipping, changing of votes, infiltrating the system, all built in, set up in a way that makes it easy, and untraceable.  I can demonstrate this to you even while I’m still here in this building and I’m happy to do so.  The testing labs all missed this.  Then they’re blindly certified.  Then we’re told that everything is safe and secure.  It’s absolutely not.”

These backdoors are not necessarily a new discovery.  In Georgia, it was discovered that the encryption keys were displayed in plain text in the software.  Phil Davis, another IT expert who previously testified before the Georgia State Election Board, discovered the password in an open records request written in plain text format.

The Gateway Pundit previously mentioned this discovery while reporting on the voluntary seizure of Dominion Voting machines in Puerto Rico following critical issues in the June 2024 primary election.

For example, Dominion Voting Systems were found to have their login passwords hardcoded in plain text on the software.  Georgians made t-shirts with “dvscorp08!”.  The User login “SAdmin” was available as well.  This was initially uncovered by Cyber Ninjas during their Maricopa County audit in 2021 and was later discovered in four Georgia counties and two other states by Philip Davis.

In 2007, the California Secretary of State withdrew approval of Sequoia Voting Systems for the same issue:  hardcoded passwords in plain text within the software.

I’m sure they have no idea that the hard-coded vendor password is dvscopr08! or that the encryption keys are stored in plain text in the election database. But even if they did know, they would never exploit that because that wouldn’t be cricket.

Marvin, you are woefully behind the times. These machines were selected by Brian Kemp, installed by Raffensperger and are vulnerable to election hacking by anyone with the passwords.

A transport flight turned into a fiery tragedy in Colombia.

Reports are arising now of a Hercules plane of the Colombian Air Force (FAC) having crashed in the rural area of Puerto Leguizamo, Putumayo.

The aircraft was carrying out troop transport missions, and was completely incinerated at the site of impact.

Publimetro reported:

“The Minister of Defense, Pedro Sánchez, confirmed the emergency through his official channels and pointed out that the immediate response operation is already underway. “Military units are already at the scene; however, the number of victims and the causes of the fire have not yet been precisely determined,” the head of the portfolio detailed.

After the impact was reported, the National Navy and components of the Military Forces began constant monitoring and coordination with local relief agencies. Preliminary images show the remains of the Hercules structure engulfed in flames in an area that is difficult to access.”

An Air Force officer continues to battle one of the most egregious cases of vindictiveness and intolerance stemming from the military’s 2021 COVID-19 shot mandate, which was rescinded in January 2023 and deemed “unlawful as implemented” across all military departments in May 2025.

Following up on a story from September 2025, The Gateway Pundit spoke to Captain Anthony Monteleone to get an update on his case at the Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR).

On July 8, 2025, as directed by the Department of War, Capt. Monteleone submitted his packet to the AFBCMR to correct the harms from the unlawful mandate in collaboration with his attorney, Jeffrey Addicott, Director of the Warrior Defense Project, and Mike Rose, Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Stand Together Against Racism and Radicalism in the Services (STARRS).

Two months later, on September 03, 2025, the AFBCMR denied his application, stating that his request “falls outside the jurisdiction of the AFBCMR,” and then reversed itself and accepted his case due to the directives from President Donald Trump and War Department leadership.

However, a grueling nine months after he submitted his package, and despite Congressional Representatives and multiple high-ranking Air Force officials reaching out to the AFBCMR on several occasions on behalf of Capt. Monteleone to stress the immediate need for relief in his case, the Board continues to delay the processing of his package.

As reported multiple times by The Gateway Pundit, numerous service members claim that the BCMR process is largely ineffective and that the Board’s willingness to engage amounts to little more than a superficial effort.

In short, despite the explicit directives from President Trump, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Undersecretary of War for Personnel and Readiness Anthony Tata, and the Secretary of the Air Force Troy E. Meink, Capt. Monteleone continues to have active derogatory paperwork in his personnel file. He is still experiencing significant and ongoing damage to his career due to the unlawful COVID-19 shot mandate, which is solely attributed to the prolonged time it is taking for the Board to review his case.

Board’s Role in Development

As a recent illustration, nine months after he submitted his packet, Capt. Monteleone met with his Captain’s Developmental Team (DT) board on March 3-5, 2026, with the active derogatory information and the severely damaged record stemming from the unlawful COVID-19 shot mandate.

The Air Force Instruction that governs Developmental Team boards indicates that the DT Board plays a vital role in the Air Force’s force development framework. This board consists of senior leaders within a specific career field, usually at the rank of Colonel (O-6) or higher, who convene each year to evaluate the readiness and potential of officers eligible for command.

This board serves as a formal, structured career development tool that directly impacts officers’ service locations, roles, and advancement speed. As an example, if an officer is viewed highly and recommended by the DT Board, their recommendations influence the officer’s placement in the assignment cycles going forward. Conversely, if an officer is not recommended by the Board, they may be placed in less competitive or less desirable positions.

In order to accomplish its mission, the Board is tasked with identifying suitable education, training, and experiences by examining performance records and ensuring that individuals with the required qualifications are directed toward appropriate opportunities. This process includes familiarizing senior leadership with the personnel in their respective functional areas to evaluate their potential, particularly focusing on high-potential officers.

The Board also determines where to invest in developmental opportunities, provides input for follow-on assignments that capitalize on newly acquired skills, and establishes deliberate outplacement strategies for individuals returning from long-term training, like fellowships, to ensure their successful reintegration.

Ongoing Career Damage and Prejudice

As such, Capt. Monteleone stated that he is “now even further behind [his] peers, and [his] career suffered additional damage as he went to the board with active derogatory paperwork and a severely damaged career, while [his] peer group went through this DT Board and vectoring process with records that reflected their actual performance.” He also expressed concern that due to the nature of the DT Board process, the senior leaders of his career field may now be prejudiced against. This prejudice may stem from the active derogatory paperwork from the mandate in his file as well as their involvement in and personal views regarding the unlawful as implemented COVID-19 shot mandate.

Moreover, the Air Force officer said that he remains ineligible or severely disadvantaged for special awards, career enhancement programs, and special assignments and postings because of the active derogatory paperwork in his record that was supposed to be removed upon recission of the mandate.

“The damage from my commander’s unlawful actions during the unlawful as implemented DOD COVID-19 vaccine mandate continue to compound,” Capt. Monteleone lamented. “I now have almost five full years of career ending damage, with almost a full additional year of damage that was not quantified or discussed only original submission because of the amount of time it is taking the board to finish approving my packet. Further, the damage to my career continues to compound every additional day it takes the Board to process my package.”

Capt. Monteleone and his legal counsel continue to engage high level Air Force leaders as well as board points of contact to have the Board approve his package. They aim to process the necessary remediations without further delay to halt the ongoing harm to his career and prevent additional compounding damage to his career that will not be addressed in his current board package. He emphasized that his views are his own and do not reflect those of the Department of War or the Department of the Air Force.

On Monday morning, President Trump wrote on Truth Social that the U.S. had “very good and productive conversations” with Iran.

In the post, the 47th President stated, “I am pleased to report that the United States of America and the country of Iran have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.”

He added, “I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five-day period.”

Several Iranian state media outlets have since denied having any talks with the Trump administration and cited quotes from the Foreign Ministry in Tehran.

In response to Iranian media reports denying that the talks took place, Trump told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo that he was unsure what Iran’s media was talking about, and that conversations did take place last night between Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner with Iranian representatives.

Per ABC News:

Iran’s semi-official Mehr News Agency quoted the Foreign Ministry in Tehran as denying President Donald Trump’s claim of talks between Washington and Tehran.

Trump, the ministry said, aims to buy time for U.S. military plans and reduce energy prices, Mehr reported.

“There are initiatives by regional countries to de-escalate tensions, and our response to all of them is clear: We are not the party that started this war, and all these requests should be referred to Washington,” the statement said.

President Donald Trump told CNBC’s Joe Kernen on Monday morning that Iran has “representatives,” Kernen said, when pressed about who the administration had been in talks with. The conversation came after Trump’s social media post saying that he ordered the Pentagon to postpone strikes on Iran’s energy facilities after two days of “productive” talks.

The liberal media’s favorite talking point just went up in smoke.

A viral video is making waves across social media today, showing the exact moment an establishment “expert” was forced to retreat after being confronted by a member of the next generation who actually did her homework.

The video, resurfaced by popular account Vigilant Fox, has already racked up over 700,000 views and continues to gain traction across social media.

In a segment from the Jubilee series “Tim Miller vs 20 Gen Z Conservatives,” Never-Trumper-turned-MSNBC-regular Tim Miller tried to play the “common sense” card, arguing that the United States has high gun violence simply because it has a lot of guns.

But the Gen Z conservative wasn’t buying it, and she came prepared.

After attempting to deflect and pivot, Miller ultimately conceded the point.

Gen Z Conservative:
You talked about how there are other problems facing America—not only that there are more guns and that’s why there’s more gun violence, correct?

Tim Miller:
No, I think the problem—I think there’s more gun violence in America because there are more guns. I think it’s pretty simple to understand. There’s not—we don’t have anywhere near this level of gun death in any other country in the world, any other first-world country, any Western country. If you’re under 18, the most likely way you are going to die in this country is by gun death. That is not equivalent in other similar Western nations.

Gen Z Conservative:
Right.

Tim Miller:
So I think it’s basically the guns.

Gen Z Conservative:
Yes. Okay, so more guns equals more gun violence. I want to address that claim by, first of all, bringing up how the majority—or at least almost 50%—of all homicides caused by guns are in cities where gun ownership per capita is much lower than the rest of the country.

And secondly, I’d like to point out that from the 1990s to the early 2000s, we had a major decrease in homicides involving guns, while we also had an increase in the number of guns by nearly 50%.

So the other thing I’d like to—

Tim Miller:
We had an assault weapons ban during that time. I guess the stats in the cities—this is kind of a funny thing, and I’m glad somebody brought this up—because the pro-gun side in this country is always trying to cut and dissect the demographics down. They’re like, okay, so there was a higher percentage in this city, or among this type of person, or among this demographic.

The only reason you can do that kind of statistical breakdown is because we have so many gun deaths in this country. Again, there were 10 in Japan in 2023. There were 10 in Australia. There were 236 in France.

And in France, there were 887. We had 46,000. I don’t—so it seems pretty obvious. I don’t know why we have to come up with other convoluted reasons for why we have all these deaths in this country.

Gen Z Conservative:
So I think that there are a few reasons. First of all, I think that fatherless homes are a big part of it. In America, we have the highest rate of any country in the world of single-parent households, the majority of those being without fathers.

Also, 76% of people who commit violent acts come from fatherless homes. Additionally, I think a second problem we have is releasing criminals back into the streets—it’s our criminal justice system. The majority—76% of people who commit violent crimes in the United States—have a criminal record of some sort, whether that be an arrest, a conviction, or otherwise.

So we need to stop releasing people back into the streets.

Tim Miller:
I agree.

The radical left loves to ignore the “who” and the “why” of crime, preferring to blame inanimate objects while law-abiding citizens are left defenseless.

The United States has the highest rate of civilian firearm ownership in the world by a massive margin roughly 120.5 guns per 100 people.

The estimate of 120.5 guns per 100 people comes from the Small Arms Survey, which is the most widely cited authority for this metric.

As of early 2026, some reports estimate there are now approximately 1.5 firearms per person in the U.S., totaling around 500 million privately owned guns.

If the “more guns = more death” narrative were true, the U.S. should be the most dangerous place on earth.

It isn’t even close. The highest rates of firearm-related homicides are concentrated in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The highest rates of firearm-related homicides are concentrated in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Meanwhile, countries like Iceland (31.7 per 100) and Norway (28.8 per 100) maintain high ownership rates but some of the world’s lowest gun homicide rates.

Iran has openly threatened to target critical water infrastructure across the region, including desalination plants that millions depend on for survival, after President Donald Trump issued a hardline 48-hour ultimatum demanding Tehran reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

It can be recalled that President Trump threatened to obliterate Iran’s power plants if they don’t fully open the Strait of Hormuz.

“If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP,” Trump said on Saturday evening.

Iran then responded to Trump’s threat to attack its power plants if they did not open the Strait of Hormuz by Monday.

Army spokesman Ebrahim Zolfaghari made the threat on state television.

“We have repeatedly said the Strait of Hormuz is closed only to the enemy and to harmful traffic.”

“It has not yet been completely closed and is under our intelligent control, and harmless transit – under specific regulations that ensure our security and interests – is allowed.

“However, if the United States carries out its threats against Iran’s power plants, the following punitive actions will be taken immediately

“The Strait of Hormuz will be completely closed and will not reopen until our damaged power plants are rebuilt.

“All power plants and the energy and information‑technology infrastructure of Israel will be widely targeted.

“All similar companies in the region that have American shareholders will be completely destroyed.

“Power plants in regional countries hosting US bases will be considered legitimate targets.”

Instead of backing down, Iran escalated further with a new chilling warning.

Tehran will strike energy grids and desalination plants across the Gulf, systems that millions rely on for drinking water.

Fox News reported:

Kaveh Madani, an Iranian scientist and U.N. official, said desalination plants across the region could be hit “within the next few days,” raising the prospect of a broader regional water crisis and affecting global markets.

The strike threats made by the regime on Sunday came in response to President Donald Trump’s warning that the U.S. would hit Iranian power infrastructure unless the Strait of Hormuz was opened within 48 hours.

A spokesperson for the Central Headquarters of Hazrat Khatam al-Anbiya (PBUH) said, “Following previous warnings, if Iran’s fuel and energy infrastructure is attacked by the enemy, all energy, information technology, and desalination infrastructure belonging to the US and the regime in the region will be targeted.”

“The desalination plants might be targeted again within the next few days,” Madani told Fox News Digital.

“The driest region of the world might see a real water war, but the knock-on effects on the world’s economy, including the U.S., will be both immediate and lasting,” Madani said, pointing to what he described as a “new phase in the conflict” involving such critical civilian infrastructure.

“Now, add the possibility of damage to the already fragile water infrastructure, including treatment plants, pumping stations, and distribution networks,” he said. “The consequences would be catastrophic and lasting.”
