    ICE Detains Canadian Woman Accused Of Slapping Teen Over Trump Gear At Jersey Shore

    A Canadian woman accused of slapping a teenage girl because she was wearing pro-Trump clothing at the Jersey Shore has landed in the custody of the very agency featured on the teen’s outfit.

    Kaitlyn E. Tracey, 33, is being held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after police say she assaulted a 16-year-old girl during a Fourth of July weekend confrontation on the Point Pleasant Beach boardwalk. ICE records show Tracey is currently being held at the Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark.

    According to NJ.com, the incident unfolded after Tracey allegedly approached a group of teenagers while recording them with her cellphone. Police say she took issue with the group’s “patriotic colored sweatpants with political wording,” including pants displaying the words “Trump” and “ICE.”

    Investigators allege Tracey then “slapped the victim across her face and body.”

    The Point Pleasant Beach Police Department said surveillance video captured Tracey allegedly “striking the juvenile female, once to the body and once to the face, with an open hand” before fleeing the scene.

    Authorities later identified Tracey through surveillance footage and other investigative methods before taking her into custody. She has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child, simple assault, harassment and obstruction.

    The case took another turn when federal immigration authorities became involved.

    According to reports, Tracey entered the United States from Canada in 2024 but remained after her authorized stay expired, making her subject to immigration enforcement.

    A Department of Homeland Security official told the New York Post that the case reflects the Trump administration’s enforcement policy.

    “Illegal aliens who break our laws will be arrested and deported,” the official said, confirming Tracey is being held in ICE custody pending immigration proceedings.

    On Tuesday, a man identifying himself as Tracey’s husband posted an emotional video on social media announcing that she had been detained.

    “Yesterday, July 13, my wife was detained by ICE and brought to Delaney Hall in North New Jersey,” he said.

    He has since argued that the confrontation has been exaggerated, telling NJ.com, “This whole situation has been blown out of proportion and a person like Kate does not belong in any facility.”

    Although he acknowledged he was not present during the incident, he insisted his wife was not the aggressor and blamed online backlash for drawing national attention to the case.

    The allegations have fueled widespread reaction online because of the apparent irony that the woman accused of attacking a teenager over clothing supporting Trump and ICE ultimately ended up in ICE custody herself.

    Tracey is expected to appear in New Jersey court to face the criminal charges while separate immigration proceedings determine whether she will be deported to Canada.

    Georgia Supreme Court Tosses Fani Willis’s Last Bid To Prosecute Trump

    The Georgia Supreme Court on Tuesday ended Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s bid to remain on the election interference prosecution against former President Donald Trump and his allies, issuing a 4–3 decision that leaves the high-profile case in limbo.

    The justices declined to review a lower court’s ruling that disqualified Willis over what it called a “significant appearance of impropriety” tied to her romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, a top prosecutor she had appointed to the case.

    This decision effectively halts the sprawling racketeering prosecution brought by Willis against Trump and more than a dozen associates for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. Trump and most defendants have pleaded not guilty.

    Future of the Case Uncertain

    While Georgia’s Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council could assign a new prosecutor to take over the case, that process could take months, leaving the matter stalled indefinitely.

    Willis, in a statement to The Hill, said that although she disagrees with the court’s decision, she accepts it.

    “I hope that whoever is assigned to handle the case will have the courage to do what the evidence and the law demand,” Willis said, adding that her office would turn over case materials to the council.

    Trump Team Applauds Decision

    Trump’s lead attorney in Georgia, Steve Sadow, called the decision correct and overdue.

    “Willis’ misconduct during the investigation and prosecution of President Trump was egregious and she deserved nothing less than disqualification. This proper decision should bring an end to the wrongful political, lawfare persecutions of the President,” Sadow said.

    How the Case Unraveled

    The case began to unravel after revelations that Willis was romantically involved with Wade, whom she had hired to help lead the prosecution. A trial judge ruled that either Wade or Willis would have to leave the case; Wade resigned. But an appeals court later ruled that the “appearance of impropriety” meant neither could continue.

    Court Says Broader Issue May Be Revisited

    Justice Andrew Pinson, explaining the decision not to review Willis’s appeal, noted the public scrutiny surrounding the case and acknowledged the broader legal question at stake.

    “If this question — whether conduct creating an appearance of impropriety alone is grounds for disqualifying a prosecutor — is presented by future cases, we may well need to take it up in one of them,” Pinson said.

    However, Pinson added that this particular case did not meet the threshold for review because the appeals ruling was “case-specific.”

    “But, in my view, that possibly cert-worthy question is not presented by this case, at least not as it appears before this Court,” he said.

    GOP Lt. Governor Suggests Removing Biden From Texas Ballot

    Republicans want revenge…

    Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick floated removing President Biden from the state’s primary ballot as a response to the Colorado Supreme Court’s shock ruling.

    “Seeing what happened in Colorado tonight … makes me think — except we believe in democracy in Texas — maybe we should take Joe Biden off the ballot in Texas for allowing 8 million people to cross the border since he’s been president, disrupting our state far more than anything anyone else has done in recent history,” Patrick said in an interview with Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham.

    On Tuesday, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled to remove Donald Trump from the 2024 state ballot, citing the 14th Amendment’s so-called insurrection clause. (RELATED: Colorado Supreme Court Bans Trump From Ballot)

    The 4-3 ruling cited the 14th Amendment and argued Trump was involved in an insurrection by prompting false claims of election fraud and directing his supporters to go toward the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

    Trump’s campaign has vowed to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court. 

    Judge Rules Lisa Cook May Stay In Role – For Now

      Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook can remain in her position after a bombshell ruling by a federal judge that followed President Donald Trump’s recent attempt to fire her.

      On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb, a Biden appointee based in Washington, D.C., said that she will be moving Cook’s request into a preliminary injunction, which allows Cook to stay in her role, but will last through the entire case until a decision is made, pending any appeal from the government.

      The judge said Cook has shown “irreparable harm” in her time away from the Federal Reserve as she is one of the leaders in controlling monetary policy, adding that “she has lost the ability to fulfill a high-ranking, public-servant role to which she is entitled.”

      Fox Business reports:

      The decision, which follows the Justice Department’s criminal investigation into Cook over allegations of mortgage application fraud, is the latest revelation in a high-stakes lawsuit likely headed to the Supreme Court. The probe could further complicate Cook’s fight to stay in her role on the Fed board, the panel of central bankers tasked with guiding the nation’s monetary policy.

      After a hearing that lasted more than two hours on Aug. 29, Cobb indicated she would move quickly on the case — specifically on whether Trump acted unlawfully in seeking to fire Cook over mortgage fraud allegations.

      Still, she also acknowledged the inherent complexities of the case and the novel requests that both Cook’s lawyers and lawyers for the Justice Department were grappling with for the first time in court. 

      Last week, Cobb granted a request from Cook’s attorneys seeking additional time to file their formal motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO).

      The TRO is a short-term, emergency court order designed to maintain the status quo until a full hearing can be held. In plain terms, Cook asked the court to pause the firing and keep her in office until a full legal hearing can determine whether Trump’s removal was lawful.

      The legal battle kicked off last month when Trump announced in a Truth Social post that he was firing Cook amid claims by his Federal Housing Finance Agency chief, Bill Pulte, that she had committed mortgage fraud.

      Trump ousted Cook on Aug. 25, which prompted her to sue him in federal court three days later. Her lawsuit names as defendants Trump, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

      Pulte claimed that Cook used an Atlanta condo as her primary home, two weeks after taking a loan on a Michigan home she also declared as her primary residence.

      “You are hereby removed from your position on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, effective immediately,” Trump wrote in a letter that accompanied the post.

      Cook’s lawsuit argues that Trump’s move to fire her is unlawful and undermines the Federal Reserve’s independence. The suit, which was filed in federal court on Aug. 28, does not address the allegations that Cook listed multiple houses as a primary residence on mortgage filings. 

      Under the law, Cook has not been charged with any crimes.

      Sir Elton John Reveals ‘Hilarious’ Trump Joke

        Singer Elton John reacted during a recent interview to Donald Trump nicknaming Kim Jong Un “little rocket man” in reference to one of his hit songs.

        During an interview with Variety at the Toronto Film Festival, the British music icon thought Trump’s nickname for the North Korean dictator was “hilarious” and “brilliant” adding that it made him laugh.

        In 2017, Trump insulted Kim following a recent blitz of high-profile weapons tests. Trump claimed that if North Korea continued to threaten the U.S. then he would rain “fire and fury” down on the country.

        The former president ended his threats towards Kim by labeling him as “Little Rocket Man.” John as a popular song released in 1972 called “Rocket Man” as well as a biographical 2019 film about his life under the same name.

        “I laughed, I thought that was brilliant,” John told Variety. “I just thought, ‘Good on you, Donald.’ … Donald’s always been a fan of mine, and he’s been to my concerts many, many times.”

        John also revealed that he “always been friendly toward” Trump because the former president has “always been a fan.”

        The singer added, “So, I mean, I’ve always been friendly toward him, and I thank him for his support. When he did that, I just thought it was hilarious. It made me laugh.”

        Trump Planning Paris-Style Monument In DC

          Washington, D.C. — President Donald Trump is setting his sights on a bold new symbol of American pride and accomplishment — an “Arc de Trump,” inspired by Paris’s world-famous Arc de Triomphe. The proposed monument, envisioned for the edge of the nation’s capital, would serve as a lasting tribute to America’s achievements and Trump’s vision for national greatness.

          According to Axios’ Marc Caputo, three scale models of the proposed arch now sit inside the White House, where Trump has been personally studying 3D layouts of Washington, D.C., and refining the design himself. The location under consideration lies near the Memorial Bridge, connecting Arlington Cemetery to the capital — a place steeped in American history.

          “Let’s build something like the Arc de Triomphe in that space,” Trump reportedly told a White House visitor. “It would be beautiful when you drive or fly in.”

          A Monument to Legacy and Vision

          Those close to Trump say the idea reflects his long-standing passion for architecture, design, and symbolism.

          “President Bush liked to paint. Trump likes to build and design,” one aide said. “This is his artistic outlet.”

          While critics have compared the concept to grandiose European designs, Trump’s supporters see something entirely different — a celebration of American achievement, not foreign imitation.

          “He’s stamping his legacy on the presidency and on the White House forever,” a senior adviser said. “No one can get rid of the ballroom. It will be difficult to take all of the gold away. Who would even do that?”

          Building on American Grandeur

          The “Arc de Trump” would join other ambitious redesigns and restoration projects Trump has championed, from a $250 million presidential ballroom to marble-floored corridors echoing the elegance of Mar-a-Lago. White House aides say the president has devoted extensive time — as much as 20 hours — to design meetings, often fitting them in between key policy discussions and diplomatic calls.

          “He’s more of a Corinthian man,” one official said, referring to Trump’s appreciation for ornate classical architecture.

          For supporters, the project reflects more than a love of beauty — it’s about leaving a tangible mark of confidence, prosperity, and strength in America’s capital.

          “This is about honoring America with something bold and beautiful,” one Trump ally said. “He’s a builder at heart — and this is what builders do.”

          Rosie O’Donnell Asks For Prayers As Daughter Chelsea Faces ‘Scary Future’ In Prison

          TV personality Rosie O’Donnell is appealing for prayers as her daughter Chelsea faces what she calls a “scary future.”

          O’Donnell posted on Instagram: “My child Chelsea Belle – before addiction took over her life – I loved her then, I love her now as she faces a scary future – prayers welcomed. #addiction awareness #love #family.”

          According to court documents reviewed by Fox News Digital, Chelsea had her probation revoked on October 22 and was sentenced to serve time in prison.

          In a written statement, O’Donnell said, “I have compassion for those struggling with addiction — Chelsea was born into addiction and it has been a painful journey for her and her four young children. We continue to love and support her through these horrible times. Prayers welcomed.”

          Last year, authorities charged Chelsea with two counts of felony possession of methamphetamine and felony possession of narcotic drugs, along with two counts of possession/illegally obtaining prescription drugs and resisting or obstructing an officer. Her arrest followed a traffic stop in Niagara, Wisconsin, where officers pulled over a vehicle for loud exhaust — they recovered a clear smoking device on Chelsea’s person that tested positive for methamphetamine, and a prescription pill bottle containing a handful of pills and a crystal-like substance was found in her possession. At the time, Chelsea was out on bond for separate charges including child neglect and drug possession.

          O’Donnell’s Instagram post on December 3 responding to Chelsea’s earlier arrest read: “So yes this is true – after being bailed out by her birth mother – Chelsea was arrested again – and is facing many charges related to her drug addiction – we all hope she is able to get the help she needs to turn her life around.”

          Bring in the Trump context

          It’s worth noting that Rosie O’Donnell has for years been a vocal critic of Donald Trump, and the public feud between them has become almost legendary. Back in December 2006, while hosting the daytime talk show The View, O’Donnell called Trump out over his handling of the Miss USA controversy and mocked him as no moral authority for young people — saying, “This is not a self-made man… left the first wife, had an affair, left the second wife, had an affair…” People.com+2The List+2

          Trump responded with scorn, calling O’Donnell “a woman out of control” and a “loser,” threatening legal action though he never followed through. People.com+1 Over the years he repeatedly used her name as a punchline — during the 2016 Republican primary debate when asked about his language toward women he quipped, “Only Rosie O’Donnell.” The New Daily+1

          In recent years their feud escalated further: After O’Donnell announced she had moved to Ireland following Trump’s second inauguration (January 2025), Trump publicly floated the idea of revoking her U.S. citizenship, calling her “a Threat to Humanity” and saying “she should remain in the wonderful country of Ireland, if they want her.”

          Former Governor Schwarzenegger Teases A Fight Against Newsom Over Redistricting Plan

            Former Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger teased a potential return to politics…

            On Friday, the Hollywood icon teased a fight with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) redistricting push in a post on social media as Democrats in the state look to redraw their maps in response to similar moves in Texas, which triggered some lawmakers to flee the state.

            “I’m getting ready for the gerrymandering battle,” Schwarzenegger wrote, including a photo of him lifting weights. He also wore a shirt that read “F*** the politicians” and “terminate gerrymandering.” 

            California is moving forward with their own plans to redraw their state’s map as it looks to neutralize a proposed House map in Texas that would net the Republicans five seats there. 

            “We’re putting maps on the ballot, and we’re giving the power to the people,” Newsom said at a rally on Thursday. “This will be the first redistricting that’s ever done that. That’s the difference.”  

            California is expected to see a special election over the mid-decade redistricting in November.

            “Governor Schwarzenegger has a 20 year history of battling gerrymandering, taking power from the politicians and returning it to the people where it belongs, and he believes gerrymandering is evil no matter who does it. He still stands by the rule we learn in pre-school: two wrongs don’t make a right,” Daniel Ketchell, a spokesman for the former governor, said in a statement earlier this year. 

            “He will continue to be on the side of the people and not politicians – from either party – on this issue,” he added.

            Ivanka Trump Breaks Silence on Father’s Latest Presidential Campaign

              Donald Trump’s oldest daughter Ivanka was notably absent from his bombshell 2024 presidential campaign announcement Tuesday night.

              Ivanka, who previously served as a White House adviser, said she did not attend the Mar-a-Lago announcement because she does not plan to re-enter the political arena.

              Ivanka’s statement comes after the New York Post reported that the president “spent part of daughter Tiffany’s lavish Mar-a-Lago wedding this past weekend trying to convince his much-loved elder daughter, Ivanka, and son-in-law Jared Kushner to be with him on stage” when he announced tonight.

              “I love my father very much,” Ivanka said. “This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics.”

              “While I will always love and support my father, going forward I will do so outside the political arena,” she continued. “I am grateful to have had the honor of serving the American people and I will always be proud of many of our Administration’s accomplishments.”

              “I’ve had many roles over the years but that of daughter is one of the most elemental and consequential,” she said. “I am loving this time with my kids, loving life in Miami and the freedom and privacy with having returned to the private sector. This has been one of the greatest times of my life.”

              However, Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner who was instrumental in crafting the Abraham Accords was in attendance during Trump’s campaign kickoff.
