She Followed Homeland Security Agents. Then Her Global Entry Was Revoked.

On April 1, Anna Walker was following a federal agent’s unmarked pickup truck through a Target parking lot when the vehicle suddenly came to a stop.

The pickup started backing up toward Walker’s Volkswagen EV just as an unmarked SUV pulled up behind her, boxing her in. The agent stepped out of the pickup, approached Walker and tried to open her locked door. When that failed, he pounded his closed fist on her window hard enough that she thought it might crack.

“You’re not going to keep following us or we’re going to arrest you,” the plainclothes agent said through the closed window, flashing his identification showing Homeland Security Investigations, which is part of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “That’s your last warning. Keep doing that and you’ll be arrested for impeding.”

Walker, 31, used her cellphone to record portions of the encounter, which took place in San Diego. According to her own video (below) and those of witnesses, she never stepped out of her car and was never arrested. The agents left the scene after about 15 minutes, but Walker had a feeling the story wasn’t over.

Over the next few days, she periodically logged in to the government’s Trusted Traveler website, believing they might revoke her Global Entry privileges, which allow for expedited arrival to the U.S. On Monday, five days after her encounter with the agents, she received an email notifying her of a “recent change” to her status. She was no longer certified as a low-risk traveler.

This is the kind of crap Shitler's government is pulling. Following/recording ICE, CBP, or cops is NOT illegal and is Constitutionally protected---not that they care!

B.C. woman who was detained in Texas speaks out on harm to children in ICE custody

Tania Warner and her daughter Ayla Lucas were released from an immigration facility in Texas on April 2, after being held for nearly three weeks.

Warner, who is originally from Penticton, B.C., said they were unlawfully detained and she wants to speak out about her experience in custody.

"I am concerned about retaliation," Warner said, while wearing an ICE-issued ankle monitor.

"Being a Canadian with privilege, I believe that it's my duty to share, no matter what the outcome."

She said every family she met while detained had, at the very least, attempted to move to the United States lawfully. She claims many of the people who were being held — like her — had filed the proper paperwork.

Warner maintains that she and Ayla were unlawfully detained and had followed the correct protocols to move to the U.S. to be with her husband, nearly five years ago.

After ICE admits to violations at Camp East Montana, a Democrat wants answers

New Mexico Congressman Gabe Vasquez is demanding answers and accountability over reports of widespread civil rights violations at one of the Trump administration’s immigrant detention facilities.

Vasquez on Monday visited Camp East Montana in El Paso, Texas, following an internal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement report that listed more than four dozen examples in which the agency violated national standards for detainees.

“The conditions that I saw inside the detention facility today are beneath our American values,” Vasquez said. “We heard concerns regarding withholding of medical care. They said you practically have to be down on the ground, dying, choking before you receive medical care.”

The largest facility being operated by ICE, Camp East Montana is a conglomerate of massive tents where immigrants targeted in Donald Trump’s racist crackdown are being housed. Last month, ICE replaced the lead contractor operating Camp East Montana after concerns about civil rights violations swirled around the facility for months.

Sports Prosecutors move to subpoena Tiger Woods' prescription drug records after Florida DUI arrest

Prosecutors are seeking Tiger Woods' prescription drug records from a pharmacy, a week after his vehicle crashed in Florida and he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.

Prosecutors in Florida on Tuesday said they planned to issue a subpoena seeking copies of all prescription medication records for the legendary golfer on file at Lewis Pharmacy in Palm Beach, Florida from the start of the year through the end of last month.

Prosecutors in Martin County, Florida, want the times the prescriptions were filled, the number of pills, the dosage amounts and any instructions that accompanied the pills, such as warnings about driving while taking them, according to documents in an online court docket.

Any objections to the subpoena must be filed with the State Attorney's Office within 10 days. Neither Lewis Pharmacy nor Woods' attorney, Doug Duncan, immediately responded to emails seeking comment.

Woods pleaded not guilty in his driving under the influence case in Florida last week, hours after a sheriff's report said deputies found two pain pills in his pocket and he showed signs of impairment after his SUV clipped a trailer and rolled over on its side.

Hungary's election could end Orban era and reshape its place in Europe

Viktor Orban, uniquely endorsed by both U.S. President Donald Trump and the Kremlin, could lose his 16-year iron grip on power on Sunday, ​opinion polls indicate, in an election many Hungarians believe will decide their country's fate in Europe.
Orban, the European Union's longest-serving prime minister, has led Hungary since 2010, ‌entrenching his power by curbing independent media and democratic rights and building an "illiberal democracy" that has earned him fans on Europe's far right and in Trump's Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement.

However, three years of economic stagnation and soaring living costs, along with the enrichment of oligarchs close to the government, have angered voters.
Orban's campaign has also been ruffled by press reports that his government has colluded with Moscow.
A former Orban loyalist, Peter Magyar, has ​successfully tapped into Hungarians' discontent and his centre-right Tisza party now comfortably leads most polls.
But political analysts also caution that undecided voters, a redrawing of the electoral map ​in favour of Orban's Fidesz and a high proportion of ethnic Hungarians in neighbouring countries - who mostly back the ruling party - create a ⁠mood of uncertainty. They say anything from a Tisza supermajority - able to change the constitution - to a Fidesz majority remains possible.

Chinese researcher's death after questioning in US prompts anger in Beijing

China has called on American authorities to investigate the death of a Chinese semiconductor researcher in the US, who was found dead after "hostile questioning" by law enforcement there.

US media have identified the researcher as Danhao Wang from the University of Michigan. Wang died shortly after talking to federal investigators, CBS News reported.

The University of Michigan said in a statement that it was investigating "a possible act of self-harm", after a researcher's fatal fall from a campus building on 19 March.

Liu Pengyu, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in the US, told the BBC on Thursday that they were "deeply distressed by this tragedy".

He said China has "repeatedly lodged solemn representations with relevant US government agencies and universities regarding this case", and have contacted the victim's family to "provide active assistance with the aftermath".

Our government has a habit of singling out Chinese tech researchers and grad students etc. for questioning. This happened at Tennessee a few years back and the man was subsequently found *innocent*.

He's Australia's most decorated soldier. Now he's at the centre of a historic war crimes case

One of the most significant moments in Australian military history unfolded without fanfare on a tarmac at Sydney airport, when Ben Roberts-Smith was calmly escorted off a plane and into a waiting police car.

The country's most-decorated living soldier and the most famous of his generation, Roberts-Smith was on Tuesday charged with five counts of the war crime of murder.

It follows a high-profile civil defamation case, which three years ago found that the former Special Air Service (SAS) corporal and Victoria Cross recipient had unlawfully killed several unarmed Afghan detainees.

Roberts-Smith, who left the Australian Defence Force (ADF) in 2013, denies all wrongdoing and says the allegations are "egregious" and driven by spiteful and jealous peers.

His case – now set to be tested to a higher, criminal standard – has become the face of Australia's reckoning over the country's alleged conduct in Afghanistan, which has cast a pall over its much-mythologised military legacy.

Turmoil at Tennessee--the abrupt descent of Lady Vol basketball

After a 9-game losing streak at the end of the season and an abrupt exit in the first round of the NCAA tournament, Kim Caldwell's Lady Vol basketball team has seen yet another disaster. With the announcement of freshman Jaida Civil that she is entering the transfer portal, Kim has now lost her entire team, something unprecedented in Lady Vol history. Not only that, but one of her two highly touted recruits has asked to be released from her National Letter of Intent. It is yet to be seen whether the other one will.

Some are pointing to NIL and money as the big offender, while others are blaming the transfer portal and the supposed ease of transferring. Others are saying that there was no "chemistry" on the team and claiming that players were just selfish, while still others, pointing to the recent firing of one assistant coach and the departure of another, are whispering that these assistants were undermining Kim's authority with the players.

I personally don't think it was any of the above. You see, I know a bit about Kim Caldwell's background and supposed "method", having seen her in action up here during her time as head coach at Marshall (her one year in D-I). Yes, her method worked in D-II, which was what persuaded Marshall to hire her. It probably would not have worked the next year, when coaches were onto her. It didn't work when JMU met her the second time (I know, I watched that game--JMU's coach is way smarter than she is, and also smart enough to stay where he is!) and obviously didn't work when SEC teams met her team the second time around. It also didn't work for her players at Tennessee, who were used to a far different style. She must not know how to coach any other way.

In any case, I thought it was a horrible mistake for Danny White, the AD, to fire Kellie Harper, who is an experienced coach at the D-I level and is now tasked with rebuilding at Missouri, a job I wouldn't even want, but she seems to be doing okay there. I thought it was an even worse mistake for him to hire Kim. I hope they are happy with each other. She seems poised to go with a bang next year if not this year. Don't know about him. Sad times for us Lady Vol fans. Even Holly Rowe said things about the situation last night.

...and then Geno threw a tantrum

UConn coach Geno Auriemma and South Carolina coach Dawn Staley had a heated exchange on the sideline after the Gamecocks beat the undefeated Huskies 62-48 in Friday night’s semi-final of the women’s NCAA Tournament.

South Carolina ended UConn’s winning streak at 54 games and secured a return trip to the national championship game.

As the two met in front of the scorer’s table with 0.1 seconds left, Auriemma appeared to go to shake Staley’s hand and began yelling in her direction. Staley responded with words of her own. Assistant coaches went to calm the two parties before UConn inbounded the ball to end the game.

Staley went to shake hands with UConn staffers while Auriemma headed for the tunnel without shaking the hands of any South Carolina players or coaches. Players from both teams shook before the UConn players sprinted up the tunnel.

“I’m of integrity. So if I did something wrong to Geno, I had no idea what I did,” Staley told ESPN’s Holly Rowe in the post-game interview. “I guess he thought I didn’t shake his hand at the beginning of the game. I went down there pre-game, shook everybody on his staff’s hand. I don’t know what he came with after the game, but hey, sometimes things get heated. We move on.”
