Dem’s stunning ideal standard for immigration detention conditions resurfaces amid Texas senate bid

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
During a 2019 interview following a visit to border enforcement, James Talarico, candidate for U.S. Senate in Texas, said he gauged the suitability of immigration detention facilities based on how he would treat his own family.
«I think I was struck by the conditions these folks were being held in,» Talarico said.
«When I first walked in, I looked at one of the security monitors and saw these things strewn around the floor, and I realized they were human beings being held in these tiny rooms. The standard I use is: would I allow my child, my parent, my grandparent to be held in one of these facilities? And the answer, after my visit, was a resounding no,» Talarico said.
His resurfaced comments continue to raise questions about his views on border policy as he looks to flip a Republican-held Senate seat in Texas.

During his campaign, Talarico has drawn scrutiny for walking a tightrope between traditionally Democratic criticisms on President Donald Trump’s border enforcement measures and appearing too soft on border policy.
Like progressives in the party, Talarico has called on lawmakers to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has characterized voter ID requirements as a method to rig elections and, in the past, even criticized President Barack Obama’s record on immigration.
In one 2019 remark, Talarico famously called Obama the «deporter-in-chief.»
His past comments have left some observers believing his record makes the case for him.
«There is a very concerning pattern with James Talarico siding with pedophiles, criminal illegal aliens and cartels while slandering the brave men and women of law enforcement who keep Texans safe,» Zach Kraft, a spokesperson for the Republican National Committee (RNC), said in a statement, referring to detentions highlighted by the Department of Homeland Security.

«Talarico is a true radical and fully committed to defunding the police, knocking down President Trump’s border wall and welcoming millions of illegal aliens into America,» Kraft added.
At the same time, Talarico has voiced concern about the government’s effective use of resources on the border and whether its investments are being reflected in its detention operations.
He raised the issue in the 2019 interview.
«How are we spending close to a billion dollars every year on border security when these border patrol agents told us firsthand they didn’t have the resources, basic logistical items that would help the situation better for them and for the people being held?» Talarico said.
Talarico argued that poor standards don’t speak to individual facility needs but rather reflect broader problems with immigration enforcement.
«This is not a matter of some bad apples at a Border Patrol station. This is a systemic problem that even the Border Patrol agents identified as something morally wrong and something that needed to be solved,» Talarico said in an interview.
«I believe this is a statewide problem; this is a stain on all of our reputations. It violates a lot of the values we have as Texans.»
Texas spent roughly $800 million on border security in 2019, according to the state’s legislative budget board.

When pressed for more details about Talarico’s ideal detainment conditions a reality, his campaign pointed to his border security plan he recently unveiled.
«James supports stronger border security and safe, secure, and humane detention facilities. He’s the only candidate in this race to unveil a border security agenda endorsed by Republicans and Democrats that will add more border patrol agents and improve technology at the border to better detect threats. For too long, both parties have failed our border communities by grandstanding on the issue instead of finding real solutions. James is running for Senate to keep our country safe by deporting criminals instead of locking up moms, babies and small business owners who have been contributing to our economy for decades,» a campaign spokesperson said.
Having secured the Democratic nomination, Talarico will face Republican nominee Ken Paxton in the Nov. 3 general election.

Trump orders signs outside Smithsonian museum amid row over its depiction of American history

House to hold hearing on Smithsonian Museum’s alleged attempts to rewrite American history
Fox News’ Alex Hogan reports on a House Oversight Committee hearing regarding claims that the Smithsonian Institution’s exhibits are politically biased and attempt to rewrite American history. A White House report alleges the National Museum of American History disparages the nation’s past, prompting congressional scrutiny over its governance and stewardship of federal funds.

President Donald Trump on Friday ordered his administration to install signs outside the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History directing visitors to what the White House describes as «accurate» information about the nation’s past.
The executive order instructs the National Park Service, which maintains the sidewalks outside the museum, to place signs informing visitors about a White House report released July 4 that criticized the Smithsonian’s portrayal of American history. Trump also directed the creation of a temporary exhibit intended to correct what his administration considers inaccurate historical information.
TRUMP WHITE HOUSE CALLS OUT SMITHSONIAN FOR PUSHING ‘ONE-SIDED, DIVISIVE POLITICAL NARRATIVES’
The move follows a report from Trump’s Domestic Policy Council that accused the Smithsonian and the National Museum of American History of failing to present history «in a way that is inspiring, unifying, and worthy of our great republic.»

Because the Smithsonian operates independently of the executive branch, Trump cannot directly remove museum leadership or unilaterally change exhibits. Instead, the order targets federal property outside the museum that falls under National Park Service jurisdiction.
National Museum of American History Director Anthea M. Hartig defended the museum during congressional testimony this week.
«As we continue to fact check the report, we unwaveringly attest that it does not fairly or accurately characterize the full body of work at the museum,» Hartig told lawmakers. «There is always room for improvement. But I also know the beauty and the inspiration and the expertise that lies in our collections, our exhibits, and our programming.»

Friday’s order builds on Trump’s broader effort to reshape the Smithsonian’s exhibits.
In March, Trump signed an executive order directing the Smithsonian’s Board of Regents to eliminate what the administration described as «improper, divisive or anti-American ideology» from the institution’s museums.
The White House later criticized the National Museum of American History’s «Entertainment Nation» exhibit, arguing displays about American pop culture framed the nation’s history through an ideological lens rather than celebrating its achievements. White House official Lindsey Halligan previously told Fox News Digital that «American taxpayers should not be funding institutions that undermine our country or promote one-sided, divisive political narratives.»

At the time, the Smithsonian said it was conducting a review of museum content and remained committed to «continuous and rigorous scholarship and research and unbiased presentation of facts and history.»
The Smithsonian is overseen by a Board of Regents that includes Vice President JD Vance, Chief Justice John Roberts, members of Congress and citizen regents. The institution receives roughly two-thirds of its approximately $1 billion annual budget through federal appropriations.

Destituyeron al fiscal general de la Corte Penal Internacional tras una denuncia de agresión sexual

La Asamblea de los Estados Partes de la Corte Penal Internacional (CPI) decidió este viernes destituir al fiscal general Karim Khan, acusado de agresión sexual por una integrante de su equipo de trabajo, en una votación secreta realizada durante una reunión extraordinaria celebrada en la sede de las Naciones Unidas en Nueva York.
Según confirmaron fuentes diplomáticas a la agencia de noticias AFP, 82 de los 125 Estados miembros de la CPI votaron a favor de remover al jurista británico de 56 años, superando ampliamente el mínimo de 63 votos requerido para aprobar la medida.
Khan rechaza las acusaciones y anunció que impugnará la decisión por las vías legales disponibles.
“El señor Khan impugnará la legalidad y la justicia de la decisión mediante todos los mecanismos legales disponibles”, escribió en la red social X su abogado, Tayab Ali. El letrado reiteró que su cliente niega los hechos que se le atribuyen.
Khan había dejado sus funciones en mayo de 2025 para concentrarse en su defensa, luego de que se abriera una investigación por una denuncia presentada por una compañera de trabajo. El mes pasado, además, fue suspendido por la Mesa de la Asamblea de los Estados Partes, un órgano directivo de la CPI integrado por 21 miembros que convocó la reunión en la que finalmente se resolvió su destitución.
La denunciante, identificada públicamente como Sarah, una abogada de origen malasio, brindó recientemente una entrevista a CNN en la que relató detalles de los presuntos hechos. La mujer aseguró haber sido víctima de una “escalada de intentos” de agresión y afirmó que la relación jerárquica con Khan impedía cualquier posibilidad de consentimiento.
“Es imposible que exista consentimiento cuando hay un desequilibrio de poder de tal magnitud. Lo que mucha gente no entiende es que el señor Khan no era sólo mi jefe, sino el jefe de todo el mundo”, declaró.

Antes de la votación, la defensa del fiscal había pedido a los Estados miembros que se abstuvieran de avanzar con la destitución. En una carta abierta difundida esta semana, sus abogados sostuvieron que los procedimientos seguidos no habían garantizado adecuadamente su derecho a la defensa y cuestionaron los informes que sustentan la investigación, cuyos detalles aún no fueron divulgados públicamente.

El equipo legal también advirtió que una eventual remoción podría afectar la independencia de futuros fiscales de la Corte. “La independencia conlleva un precio y la maquinaria de la Corte puede volverse contra sus propios responsables cuando dicha independencia se torna incómoda”, señalaron.
La figura de Khan había cobrado relevancia internacional en los últimos años por investigaciones de alto perfil. Entre ellas, el pedido de órdenes de arresto contra el primer ministro israelí, Benjamin Netanyahu, y el entonces ministro de Defensa Yoav Gallant por presuntos crímenes vinculados a la guerra en Gaza. También impulsó acciones judiciales contra dirigentes de Hamas. Como respuesta a esas iniciativas, Estados Unidos le impuso sanciones económicas y restricciones de ingreso al país.
La destitución generó reacciones inmediatas. El ministro de Asuntos Exteriores de Israel, Gideon Sa’ar, celebró en X la salida de Khan y la calificó como un relevo “largamente esperado”. Además, acusó al exfiscal de haber promovido órdenes de arresto “escandalosas” contra funcionarios israelíes para desviar la atención de las denuncias en su contra.
Por su parte, Stephen Rapp, exembajador estadounidense especializado en crímenes de guerra, había afirmado antes de la votación que existían pruebas suficientes para justificar la remoción. A su juicio, no actuar habría perjudicado seriamente la credibilidad de la Corte y la habría dejado más expuesta a cuestionamientos externos.
