[NYPOST] Federal agents peeled back the curtain at a Dallas strip club, arresting dozens of suspected illegal immigrants colonists and seizing tens of thousands of dollars in US cash
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Dallas, with assistance from federal, state and local law enforcement, executed a criminal search warrant at Chicas Bonitas Cabaret Friday for suspected human trafficking and unlawful employment, according to a news release from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Officials said 41 illegal immigrants colonists, including 29 people suspected of illegally working at the club, were taken into custody by the ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Dallas Field Office for administrative immigration violations.
While ICE is continuing to process those arrested during the operation, authorities said at least five suspects have been convicted of criminal offenses after illegally entering the US.
They include Julios Cesar Martinez, 47, of Mexico, who has been convicted three times of assault causing bodily injury and driving under the influence; Victor Manuel Manzano-Ramirez, 47, of Mexico, who illegally entered the US twice and has been convicted of driving under the influence; Gustavo Rojas-Garda, 44, of Mexico, who has been convicted of driving under the influence; and Genaro Diaz-Perez, 44, of Mexico, who has been convicted of prostitution.

[NYPOST] The final order of removal against undocumented Democrat and accused MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia will stand after an immigration judge rejected a motion from his attorneys to reopen the case Wednesday.
In August, Abrego Garcia's attorneys had petitioned to reopen the case due to fears that he was at risk of ''imminent removal to Uganda'' after the Department of Homeland Security notified them that he may get deported to the African country.
''The word 'may' is permissive,'' Regional Deputy Chief Immigration Judge Philip Taylor wrote in his opinion.
''[It] indicates to the Court that in sending this notification to Respondent's counsel, the Department sought to convey that it reserved the right to remove him to Uganda, not necessarily that it intended to do so, that it had decided to do so, or that it would do so imminently.''
[NYPOST] An undocumented Democrat accused of serial rape and tied to as many as 17 victims in Nevada has withdrawn a plea deal, forcing prosecutors to reinstate multiple charges.
Mexican national, Carlos Nava, 49, is now facing trial in Las Vegas on accusations of violent mostly peaceful sexual assaults spanning nearly two decades.
He also repeatedly re-entered the US illegally despite being deported at least eight times since 2002.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) previously confirmed to 8 News Now this was despite prior removals and arrests for battery and domestic violence. He was last deported in 2020.
On July 30, Nava had entered what is known as an Alford plea to one felony count of sexual assault with use of a deadly weapon, according to court records, per 8 News Now.
This plea allows a defendant to acknowledge prosecutors likely have enough evidence for a conviction without admitting guilt. In Nava's case, the plea agreement resulted in eight other charges being dropped.
Nava's decision to then withdraw the plea deal on Sept. 25, and on the day that was supposed to be his sentencing, meant prosecutors reinstated those charges.

[IsraelTimes] Israel draws global condemnation after intercepting would-be blockade-busting ships without major incident; Colombia expels Israeli diplomats, cancels trade deal; Turkey, Hamas condemn ‘terrorism’
A series of countries criticized Israel for its interception of an activist flotilla aiming to break the navy’s blockade of Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid, as Israeli forces detained more than 400 activists sailing on 41 boats. The interceptions were carried out without injuries to any of the activists, who were said by Israel to be “safe and healthy.”
Pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel demonstrators blocked traffic and vandalized shops and restaurants in multiple cities worldwide after the interceptions, which mainly took place overnight Wednesday-Thursday.
Thousands of protesters took to the streets in Dublin, Paris, Berlin and Geneva to condemn Israel for enforcing its naval blockade on Gaza, designed to prevent Hamas from importing weapons and components to make them. The activists brought symbolic quantities of humanitarian aid for Gaza with them. Israel had encouraged them to dock in Israel, and said it would transfer the aid to Gaza, but they refused.
Rallies also took place in Buenos Aires, Mexico City and Karachi.
Colombia expelled all remaining Israeli diplomats from the country and canceled a trade deal with Israel, while Turkey called Israel’s detention of activists an “act of terrorism.” Hamas, the terror group that sparked the two-year war in Gaza by invading Israel on October 7, 2023, massacring 1,200 people and abducting 252 hostsages, condemned the interceptions as a “crime of piracy and maritime terrorism against civilians.” The Palestinian Authority also condemned the interceptions and detentions.
A rare note of criticism for the flotilla came from Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who has criticized the activists in recent days and had called for the flotilla to halt. She said the activism “brings no benefit to the Palestinian people.”
The flotilla had been sailing toward Gaza for weeks. By Thursday afternoon, the government said the interception had ended without incident. Israel is processing the detained activists, who will then be deported.
It was the largest flotilla this year to seek to break Israel’s blockade, but the IDF said the boats did not manage to breach Israeli-controlled waters. Israel has said the flotillas are “stunts” and “provocations.”
Among those detained were Swedish activist Greta Thunberg as well as Mandla Mandela, Nelson Mandela’s Hamas-supporting grandson. Forty Italians were also on the boats.
Israel has already faced concrete diplomatic consequences because of the interception.
Colombia, which broke off ties with Israel last year over its criticism of the war in Gaza, expelled the remaining four Israeli diplomats still in the country.
Writing on X, President Gustavo Petro announced the expulsion of “the entire diplomatic delegation of Israel” over what he called “a new international crime” by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
He also terminated a free-trade deal in force with Israel since 2020.
Colombia’s leader is one of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s most vocal critics, calling him “genocidal,” while also slamming US President Donald Trump as an “accomplice” to “genocide.” Last week, Petro attended a pro-Palestinian protest in New York, where he called on the US military to “disobey” Trump and encouraged his citizens to fight alongside Palestinians in Gaza. Washington revoked Petro’s visa over his remarks.
Spain, another outspoken critic of Israel, summoned Jerusalem’s top representative in Madrid on Thursday after the flotilla interception. Israel withdrew its ambassador to Madrid last year after Spain recognized a Palestinian state.
“Today I summoned the charge d’affaires here in Madrid,” Jose Manuel Albares told public broadcaster TVE, saying 65 Spaniards were traveling with the flotilla.
Belgium also summoned the Israeli ambassador, with Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot saying, “The manner in which they were boarded and the location in international waters are unacceptable.”
The statements came alongside widespread protests. In Barcelona, protesters smashed or spray-painted anti-Israel slogans on windows of stores and restaurants, including coffee chain Starbucks, hamburger franchise Burger King, and supermarket chain Carrefour, accusing them of complicity in Israel’s offensive in the Gaza Strip.
“These protests are the only thing we can do,” said Akram Azahomaras, who was among the marchers but said vandalism of stores was counterproductive.
“But doing it like this, I don’t think it’s right,” she added. “We need to do it peacefully, with our words, not with actions.”
In Istanbul, a crowd gathered outside the Israeli embassy holding aloft banners with slogans such as “Israel is massacring humanity, not Gaza / Do not be silent, do not sit, stand up.”
In Italy, students occupied universities, including Milan’s Statale and Rome’s La Sapienza, and blocked access to Bologna’s university using car tires, video footage showed. In Turin, hundreds of people blocked traffic on the city’s ring road, according to news agency reports. Doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and others were due to take part in a flash mob in Rome.
Italian unions have called for a general strike in support of the Gaza aid flotilla, with more than 100 marches or rallies expected across the country.
Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto criticized the disruption caused by some of the protesters. “Does anyone really believe that blocking a station, an airport, a motorway or destroying a shop in Italy will bring relief to the Palestinian people?” he wrote on X.
Crosetto’s criticism came alongside that of Meloni, who also said she would work to ensure the return of some 40 Italian flotilla activists to the country, including two Italian members of parliament and two Italian members of the European Parliament.
“Obviously, we will do everything we can to ensure these people can return to Italy as soon as possible,” Meloni told reporters. But, she added, “I continue to believe that all this brings no benefit to the Palestinian people.”
That remark appeared to be something of an outlier. Statements of criticism of Israel, or concern for the activists, came from several other countries, including Brazil, South Africa, the United Kingdom, Malaysia and Turkey. Ankara promised “legal steps” against “the perpetrators of this attack.”
“The attack carried out by Israeli forces in international waters against the Global Sumud Flotilla, which set sail to deliver humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza, constitutes an act of terrorism that gravely violates international law and endangers the lives of innocent civilians,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry said.
“This assault, targeting civilians who were acting peacefully without resorting to violence, demonstrates that the fascist and militarist policies pursued by the genocidal Netanyahu government – which has condemned Gaza to famine – are not limited to Palestinians, but extend to all those who resist Israel’s oppression,” it added.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said, “I call on Israel to immediately release the South Africans abducted in international waters, and to release other nationals who have tried to reach Gaza with humanitarian aid.”
He said the interception “is contrary to international law and violates the sovereignty of every nation whose flag was flown on the dozens of vessels in the flotilla.”
The British Foreign Office said it was “very concerned” with the situation and was in touch with relatives of involved British nationals.
“The aid carried by the flotilla should be turned over to humanitarian organizations on the ground to be delivered safely into Gaza.”
The United Nations Human Rights Office said the interception widens Israel’s blockade of Gaza, which the UN considers illegal.
“As the occupying power, Israel must ensure food and medical supplies for the population to the fullest extent of the means available, or to agree to and facilitate impartial humanitarian relief schemes, delivered rapidly and without hindrance,” spokesperson Thameen Al-Kheetan said in an email to Reuters.
He also called on Israel to respect the rights of those in custody, including the right to challenge the legality of their detention.

[Regnum] A foreigner wanted by Interpol for human trafficking for the purpose of organ removal has been detained at Moscow's Vnukovo Airport. This was announced to reporters by Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs spokesperson Irina Volk on October 2.
"At Vnukovo Airport named after A.N. Tupolev, officers from the National Central Bureau of Interpol of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow, and the transport police detained a foreigner deported from the Republic of Turkey. He was wanted by Russian law enforcement agencies on charges of human trafficking as part of an organized group and intentionally causing grievous bodily harm," Volk explained.
A representative of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs explained that between 2006 and 2008, the detainee was a member of a transnational organized group that was involved in human trafficking for the removal of vital organs and their use in illegal transplantation.
Specifically, the accused convinced several Russian citizens to travel to Kosovo and agree to have their kidneys removed for a fee. The individuals underwent illegal operations at a clinic in Pristina, resulting in serious bodily harm.
Criminal cases have been opened against the accused under Articles 111 (“Intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm”) and 127.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Human trafficking”).
An international search for the accused was launched at the request of the Russian Prosecutor General's Office based on materials from the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Moscow. The man was located through Interpol and deported to Russia with the assistance of Turkish law enforcement.

[NYPOST] Police are seeking the public's help in finding a woman accused of assault near the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building in Portland, Ore. after one of its ''dialogue liaison officers,'' sworn officers tasked with ''hold[ing] a safe space'' for protesters, lost track of her.
Portland Police Bureau officials said that just before 8:45 p.m. Tuesday, a dialogue liaison officer (DLO) was monitoring a ''gathering'' outside the ICE building in the South Portland neighborhood, when he was flagged down by a person who said an assault had just taken place.
The DLO followed the woman, who was described as a White female with a large septum nose piercing wearing a black mask and carrying a backpack, trying to talk to her to ''hear her side of the story,'' according to a news release from Portland police.
The woman would not stop, so the DLO told her she was being detained.
She allegedly refused the lawful police order, and fled.
The DLO called in additional police resources, and just before 9 p.m., patrol officers met with the victim and began an investigation.
DLOs are sworn coppers, though they act in the role of a liaison and ''cannot get involved in enforcement action,'' according to the release.
Officials said the case has since been assigned to a detective in the Major Crimes Unit, though they did not release any information regarding the alleged assault.
[X] Independent journalist Nick Sortor was arrested Thursday night in Portland, Oregon, outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility during anti-ICE demonstrations. Portland Police charged him with misdemeanor disorderly conduct following a physical altercation with Antifa activists, with eyewitnesses stating he defended himself. Sortor was released Friday morning with a court date set, as protests continue amid reports of low federal arrests despite vandalism.
[GEO.TV] Islamabad police stormed the National Press Club (NPC) on Thursday afternoon during a protest organised by the Awami Action Committee,
…a coalition of traders, transporters, lawyers, and students for the purpose of protesting more or less peacefully about the fact that India dares to holds on to half of Kashmir…
assaulting journalists and damaging property in what senior media representatives described as one of the "worst incidents in history".
The protest was scheduled for around 3pm at the National Press Club. When demonstrators gathered outside, police arrested them.
The Awami Action Committee has been organising protests in the Azad Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... (AJK), which turned violent mostly peaceful and claimed the lives of at least nine people, three of them were police personnel.
The region is witnessing an overwhelming shutdown and wheeljam strike on the second consecutive day, a day earlier, amid intermittent skirmishes between law enforcers and activists in the state capital, Muzaffarabad.
Journalists on the scene began documenting the events with photos and videos, but police attempted to stop them, even trying to snatch cameras and mobile phones.
Minutes after the police were asked not to manhandle media personnel by senior journalists, police personnel forced open the doors of the press club, with some climbing the walls and entering the building as if "holy warriors were inside".
They attacked multiple journalists, smashed their equipment, and also stormed the cafeteria, beating journalists who were having tea.

Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistain's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire... 's Garhi Qamar Din area, police said.

Rawalpindi, 01 October, 2025
On 1 October 2025, security forces conducted an intelligence based operation (IBO) in Khuzdar District of #Balochistan, on reported presence of terrorists belonging to #India proxy, Fitna al Hindustan
During the conduct of operation, our forces apprehended four Terrorists trying to flee cowardly by disguising in women attire.
Weapons and ammunition was also recovered from the terrorists, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities in the area.
Sanitization operation is being conducted to eliminate any other terrrorist found in the area, as the security forces of Pakistan are determined to wipeout the menace of Indian sponsored terrorism from the country, and reaffirm the nation’s unwavering resolve to bring the perpetrators of terrorism to justice.
[Jpost] During operations in the Gaza Strip, soldiers took notice of a figure waving a white flag in their direction and calling for help.
A Hamas terrorist disguised as a hostage attempted to lure IDF soldiers away into a possible trap on Monday night, N12 reported on Tuesday, citing the IDF Spokesperson's Unit.
During operations in the Gaza Strip, soldiers reportedly took notice of a figure waving a white flag in their direction and calling for help. Thinking the figure was a hostage, the soldiers radioed for assistance.
"Extensive searches were conducted," the military said, as reported by N12. "After no further findings were discovered, it was determined that the incident did not involve hostages but rather, most likely, the enemy.”
[GEO.TV] The Global Sumud Flotilla has said that the vessel, named Marinette, is "still sailing strong".
"In the last 24 hours, 21 boats were confirmed intercepted — 20 presumably intercepted and one still sailing," the group wrote in an Instagram post.
It added that more than 450 civilians were "illegally kidnapped" by Israeli forces.

New details have been revealed about the Navy’s operation to block the “Sumud” flotilla to Gaza:
1. This was an unprecedented operation in scope for the Israeli Navy, which had never before dealt with a flotilla of such size — 42 vessels entering Israel’s territorial waters. The decision was made to first seize the six main ships, and later “chase” the smaller ones. Each vessel required a boarding operation to land forces.
2. Forces inspecting the dozens of vessels in recent hours found that the so-called humanitarian aid on board, allegedly meant for Gaza, was extremely minimal. Despite the large number of 42 ships, the humanitarian supplies were negligible. A security source said tonight: “This proves the entire event is purely a provocation, and that’s how it should be regarded.”
3. An unusual incident occurred during the flotilla: after Shayetet 13 completed its takeover of one of the ships this morning, the vessel was en route to Ashdod port with both fighters and passengers on board when the yacht began sinking and tilting due to a major technical failure. The Shayetet 13 team called for backup and began safely transferring the passengers. The yacht eventually sank.
😂
4. The commander of the Israeli Navy, Maj. Gen. David Saar Salama, personally commanded the takeover operation from one of the Navy’s ships at sea, alongside other senior commanders. All commanders remained at sea throughout the night.
5. So far, searches have not uncovered any weapons on any of the flotilla’s vessels (not even cold weapons such as knives or clubs).
6. Alongside the naval operation, a special IDF Spokesperson’s operations room was set up overnight and into the morning. Unlike in past incidents, extensive photography and documentation equipment was deployed at sea to capture the event from multiple angles. Some fighters were equipped with body cameras. The footage was streamed live to the operations room to enable real-time distribution via the Foreign Ministry. In the pre-operation briefings, emphasis was placed on preventing “legitimacy incidents,” knowing that the flotilla participants themselves would be live-broadcasting the event.
The humanitarian mission: Socialist media clout null
About the Gaza flotilla:
Where's the fucking aid? Navy just searched every hole-empty. Not a grain, not a bandage. These clowns floated in for propaganda, to defame Israel. Mission accomplished for the cameras. Failed for humanity. pic.twitter.com/qlqg2NUQGi
[GEO.TV] Israeli strikes killed at least 52 people across Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... on Thursday, the territory's civil defence agency and hospitals said, including an employee of the French charity Doctors Without Borders.
The civil defence agency, a rescue force which operates under Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... authority, said the deaths were caused "by continuous Israeli bombardments on the Gaza Strip since dawn," specifying that 10 people, including at least one child, were killed in Gaza City.
Several hospitals confirmed to AFP that they had received 10 bodies in Gaza City, 14 in central Gaza, and 28 in the territory's south.
They reported that some were killed in air strikes, others by drone fire and shootings.
Asked for comment, the Israeli army said it was looking into the matter.
The Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis reported nearly 30 deaths, including 14 killed by "Israeli gunfire" targeting Paleostinians waiting for food distribution in the al-Tina and Morag areas.
The al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah said it had received nine bodies after several strikes on nearby areas.

🚨 Clash Update: Intense fighting occurred between the terrorist Buddhist Arakan Army AA and the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army(ARSA), and it is still ongoing. We will update you with more details very soon.
The Arakan Army (AA) is the military wing of the United League of Arakan (ULA), the organized ethnic Theravada Buddhists of Rakhine state since 2009. The military government of Myanmar designated them a terrorist organization.
The Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (Arsa): in Arabic Harakah al-Yaqin or Harkat ul Yaqin (Faith Movement, HaY), they’re led by a committee in Saudi Arabia and commanded on the ground by a group of 20 jihadis fronted by one Ata Ullah a.k.a. Hafiz Tohar a.k.a. Jununi, etc., who was born in Karachi and reared in Saudi Arabia. ARSA may or may not be a false-nose-and-mustache front for Aqa Mul Mujahideen, a minor jihadi group linked to al-Qaeda. At any rate, ARSA has the vocal support of al-Qaeda’s Bangladesh offshoot Ansar al-Islam as well as Hizbut Tahrir, and has been running amok in the Cox’s Bazaar refugee camps...
