Lawmakers under fire for sharing ICE raid info, warning locals of immigration enforcement operations

As President Donald Trump and his Department of Homeland Security have ramped up enforcement of U.S. immigration law after the Biden-era deluge at the border, some Democrats have come under fire for their responses to the situation.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has held «Know Your Rights» webinars and disseminated guides to constituents concerned about ICE conducting operations in her Queens and Bronx district.
«ICE raids are political tactics, and they’re often intended to create fear,» one proctor in an Ocasio-Cortez webinar advised. «Do not open your door,» an Ocasio-Cortez-branded document read elsewhere – advising residents to demand to see ICE’s judicially signed warrants.
Such efforts by the «Squad» member drew the attention of Border Czar Thomas Homan, who told Fox News he had sent a letter to the Department of Justice questioning whether she may have broken the law.

«At what level is that impediment [of federal law enforcement operations]?» Homan asked «Ingraham Angle» host Laura Ingraham.
«If so, what are we going to do about it? . . . Maybe AOC is going to be in trouble now.»
At the state government level, Arizona state Sen. Analise Ortiz came under fire for her response to ICE operations.
Ortiz, D-Phoenix, was accused of «doxxing» ICE by LibsOfTikTok commentator Chaya Raichik, after she reportedly posted live locations of federal agents on her Instagram page.
Ortiz defended her work, comparing it to how the automotive app WAZE alerts drivers to police activity, speed traps or car crashes.
She then took a jab at three Republican lawmakers she claimed had faced similar trouble in the past, quipping that they might’ve been «better off» using WAZE.
HOUSE REPUBLICANS WARN ANTI-ICE RHETORIC FROM DEMOCRATS IS DRIVING VIOLENT ATTACKS ON AGENTS

The situation drew calls for a formal federal investigation this week from Arizona State Senate President Warren Petersen, R-Gilbert.
«Public servants have a duty to uphold the law and respect those who enforce it, not undermine them,» Gilbert said.
Homeland Security Deputy Secretary Tricia McLaughlin countered in comments to Fox News Digital:
«Arizona state Senator Analise Ortiz is siding with vicious cartels, human traffickers, and violent criminals over American citizens,» she said.
In Georgia, a self-described socialist millennial lawmaker was lambasted earlier this year for reportedly posting a step-by-step video to Facebook advising how to avoid ICE raids.
«We have seen examples of it happening in our district and around our metro area,» said state Rep. Gabriel Sanchez, D-Vinings.
Sanchez told viewers of the video, also published by the Cobb County Voice, «Do not answer any question,» and «Do not sign any documents.»
«We are doing everything in our power we can to protect our community, including looking at legislation that could help with this issue.»
Sanchez was previously one of the organizers of «Stop Cop City,» a socialist activist group that made headlines for violently attempting to prevent Atlanta law enforcement from constructing a new training center.
During the first Trump administration, Massachusetts state Rep. Michelle DuBois, D-Brockton, warned undocumented constituents of planned ICE operations in Plymouth County.
DuBois advised people to call a 774 number that linked to a legal services group in the even they needed «immigration help.»
She then said she wanted to «relay» a message from a member of the «Latin community.»
«Please be careful on Wednesday … ICE will be in Brockton that day.
If you are undocumented, don’t go out on the street. If there is a knock on the door of your house, and you don’t know who it is, don’t open the door, I ask you to be careful,» she said.
When confronted at an event by a reporter from CBS’ Boston affiliate, DuBois said, «ICE is welcome to call my office» and claimed the reporter was spreading «hearsay.»
«Passing information along that is already all over the community not only lets the people I represent know what is happening, it lets ICE know that everyone in Brockton is aware of their intended raid if there was one,» DuBois said in a statement.
Neighboring Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson went to Congress to warn that the situation was «most outrageous.»
«It’s undermining my job and every other officer in the United States,» he told then-Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas.

Dem challenger calls GOP congresswoman ‘ESL puppet’ in heated immigration post: ‘Vile extremist’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Young Kim, R-Calif., responded to comments from a Democratic challenger referring to her as an «ESL puppet» in a post criticizing the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
«My story is not unique. It’s the story of so many Korean Americans and immigrants across the country who are proud Americans and are making our communities better every day. I’m proud of my accent and will keep using my voice to protect the American dream for future generations,» Kim told Fox News Digital in an exclusive statement.
«It’s a new low for a child of Korean immigrants to move to a district two hours away to parrot race-baiting, anti-immigrant slurs targeting a fellow Korean American. Young is the most effective federal lawmaker from California and continues to prove she’s an independent fighter for her community,» Callie Strock, campaign spokesperson for Kim added.
Democrat Esther Kim Varet’s post Wednesday night included screenshots from a National Republican Campaign Committee X post that says Kim Varet is «radical,» «anti-ICE,» and «pushing fringe conspiracy theories.»
It also included screenshots of various news articles about Asian immigrants facing deportation and other woes as ICE doubles down on deportation efforts.

«Remember when your own racist MAGA party couldn’t tell your much older a– apart from me [Rep. Kim]?» Kim Varet wrote. «You’re a power-hungry Korean-born immigrant that has sold your conscience to the devil – at the price of all hard-working immigrants. You don’t work hard, you and your husband are the biggest GRIFTERS representing the swamp – putrid and pussing from the rot that is your soul.
«Don’t you even realize that OUR shared Korean-American community has the highest number of undocumented immigrants amongst Asians?» she added. «You don’t even speak English well enough to hold a single cohesive argument. You ESL puppet. So embarrassing. A real life Judas to our community. You sicken me [Rep. Kim].»
The posts quickly caught the attention of the NRCC as it focuses on competitive House races.

«Unhinged Democrat Esther Kim Varet is a hate-filled bigot who embodies the worst of today’s political discourse. Californians will reject this vile extremist who has no business representing them in Congress,» NRCC spokesman Christian Martinez said in a statement Thursday.
In response to the NRCC’s comments, Varet told Fox News Digital it «seems like par for the course that national Republicans can’t tell Asians apart.»

California congressional seats could face redrawing for the 2026 cycle, but the fate of redistricting is still to be battled out nationwide. Still, Kim could be in yet another closely watched race after President Donald Trump won the district narrowly in 2024. Kim defeated Democrat Joe Kerr by over 40,000 votes in November.

Al menos cinco muertos y diez heridos en un ataque israelí en la frontera entre Líbano y Siria

Al menos cinco personas murieron y otras diez resultaron heridas en un ataque perpetrado este jueves por el Ejército de Israel en el paso fronterizo de Masnaa, que se encuentra en la gobernación libanesa de Becá (este), a pesar del alto el fuego alcanzado en noviembre de 2024.
El Ministerio de Sanidad de Líbano informó a través de un breve comunicado recogido por la agencia de noticias NNA de que se trata de un balance preliminar y sostiene que “el ataque del enemigo israelí” tuvo como objetivo un vehículo ubicado en la carretera de Masnaa. Por el momento, el Ejército de Israel no se ha pronunciado al respecto.
Por otro lado, la cartera ministerial confirmó también la muerte de una persona en un ataque aéreo en la localidad de Kfardan, en la gobernación de Baalbek, que se encuentra en el extremo nororiental del país.
Israel justifica este tipo de ataques contra Líbano argumentando que actúa contra actividades del grupo terrorista Hezbollah y que, por ello, no viola el alto el fuego pactado en noviembre, si bien tanto Beirut como el grupo se han mostrado críticos con estas acciones, igualmente condenadas por Naciones Unidas.
El pacto, alcanzado tras meses de combates al hilo de los ataques del 7 de octubre de 2023, contemplaba que tanto Israel como Hezbollah debían retirar sus efectivos del sur de Líbano. Sin embargo, el Ejército israelí ha mantenido cinco puestos en el territorio de su país vecino, algo también criticado por las autoridades libanesas, que exige el fin de este despliegue.
Por otra parte, el Consejo de Ministros de Líbano aprobó este jueves la propuesta de Estados Unidos sobre el desarme de Hezbollah. El anuncio se produjo tras una sesión celebrada en el Palacio de Baabda, en la que el gabinete libanés avaló los objetivos presentes en el documento presentado por el enviado estadounidense Tom Barrack.

El ministro de Información, Paul Morcos, declaró que “el gabinete ha concluido el debate del primer punto de su sesión y ha aprobado los objetivos establecidos en la introducción del documento estadounidense para consolidar el acuerdo de cese de hostilidades”.
Morcos señaló que el gobierno sigue “a la espera de un plan de implementación del Ejército” y afirmó: “Hemos acordado poner fin a la presencia armada en todo el país, incluido Hezbollah, y desplegar el Ejército libanés en las zonas fronterizas”, según declaraciones recogidas por NNA.
El documento estadounidense propone que Líbano adopte medidas que extiendan su soberanía sobre todo su territorio, incluyendo el monopolio estatal sobre la decisión de guerra y paz, así como sobre el uso de las armas. Plantea la progresiva eliminación de la presencia armada de todas las facciones no estatales, incluido Hezbollah, la movilización del ejército en puntos clave de la frontera y la retirada de Israel de las zonas libanesas que ocupa actualmente.
El plan insta a resolver los puntos pendientes con Israel mediante “negociaciones indirectas y medios diplomáticos”, y contempla el retorno de los residentes desplazados a sus localidades afectadas por el conflicto. También reclama una delimitación “permanente y visible” de las fronteras de Líbano con Israel y Siria. Washington ha propuesto una conferencia económica internacional para reconstruir la economía libanesa y canalizar más apoyo a las fuerzas de seguridad del país, vinculando estos pasos a la visión del expresidente Donald Trump para el desarrollo económico nacional.
El enviado estadounidense, Tom Barrack, afirmó este jueves que el gobierno libanés tomó una decisión “histórica” esta semana al avanzar hacia el desarme de Hezbollah, respaldado por Irán, tal como ha solicitado Washington.
