The school district superintendent arrested by ICE this week lied about attending MIT and was the subject of two sex discrimination lawsuits, The Post has learned.
Snappy-dresser Ian Andre Roberts, 51, was fired by Des Moines Public Schools after it emerged he was working illegally and had been avoiding a deportation order.
Roberts spent over twenty years bouncing around the nation’s education system, holding top posts from coast-to-coast, but also proved controversial.
Hitler was originally democratically elected — not by a majority, but rather by a plurality, as allowed by the Weimar Republic’s constitution. It was a turning point for all of world history.
The Nazis, being ambitious tyrants, leapt at any possible opportunity to expand their grip on Germany. So, on February 27, 1933 — just four weeks after Hitler was sworn in as chancellor — the fire that struck the German parliament building was at least partially blamed on Bolshevik agitators. Sound familiar?
Germany’s then-president, Paul von Hindenburg, issued a decree suspending all civil liberties in order to facilitate the rounding up and disposal of communists. And thus, Hitler became an absolute dictator.
While a majority of U.S. citizens continue to maintain that violence won’t help fix the problems facing their nation, an increasing minority are beginning to disagree, according to a new poll.
A Marist Institute of Public Opinion poll of 1,477 adults conducted in partnership with NPR and PBS News last week found that three in 10 of those agreed (19 per cent) or strongly agreed (11 per cent) with the notion that “Americans may have to resort to violence in order to get the country back on track.”
Canada’s most important trade agreement, CUSMA, faces its first scheduled review next summer. U.S. Ambassador Peter Hoekstra told The Hub on Monday that this review is unlikely to conclude with a deal, raising alarm bells across the country. But CUSMA’s so-called “sunset clause” is less ominous than it sounds.
Are happy days here again? This issue of our print magazine, with a beautiful cover by resident cartoonist Yogi Love, will share lots of evidence to support that contention. Indeed, in so many ways, from inflation, to crime, to immigration, and on and on, there’s good news. And yet…
My introduction will be the fly in this joyful ointment. Senior Editor and my podcast co-host Scott McKay calls me Eeyore. We have two years of podcast conversations of me seeing the worst. I apologize to you, loyal viewers, but I have a bad feeling that I can’t shake. I had planned to write this when the theme of the magazine was chosen over a month ago. The events of recent weeks have confirmed my unease.
An immigration judge in Baltimore has denied Kilmar Ábrego García’s bid for asylum on Thursday, but he has 30 days to appeal.
Ábrego’s case has drawn national attention since the 30-year-old was wrongfully deported by the Trump administration to El Salvador in March. The Salvadorian national has an American wife and children and has lived in Maryland for years, but he originally immigrated to the US illegally as a teenager.
Following widespread pressure, the Trump administration returned him to the US in June. Upon his return, however, he immediately faced criminal charges related to human smuggling, allegations that his lawyers have rejected.
The Canadian government is warning citizens who list “X” as their gender on their passports could have problems entering the U.S.
In a change made earlier this week, the Department of Global Affairs added an advisory to its United States travel advice page for 2SLGBTQ+ Canadian passport holders.
“While the Government of Canada issues passports with an ‘X’ gender identifier, it cannot guarantee your entry or transit through other countries,” it wrote. “You might face entry restrictions in countries that do not recognize the ‘X’ gender identifier.”
This week, federal officials made an astounding announcement: Nearly half of all immigrants in greater Minneapolis were found to have committed some form of immigration fraud.
The fraud, uncovered in a September sweep, came in all kinds — sham marriages, fake death certificates and “other bizarre schemes,” as US Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Joseph Edley put it.
But the revelation was no great surprise to those of us who have followed the settlement of some 100,000 Somali immigrants in Minnesota over the past three decades.
For decades, Canada’s supply management system has acted as both shield and stabilizer for the country’s dairy sector. By regulating production, fixing quotas, and limiting imports through tariff rate quotas (TRQs), the model has provided farmers with stable incomes, preserved rural communities, and sustained a form of food sovereignty. But as the Globe and Mail recently reported, Ottawa is now considering regulatory changes that could allow more U.S. dairy products onto Canadian shelves — a signal that the system is under growing strain.
“Predictions are hard, especially about the future” (so says the Danish proverb), but still we make them, especially when we care about the future.
Here are some about the future of the United States in the next three and a bit years, expressed as probabilities, although you should not trust the numbers.
We can, for example, calculate the probability that a person will die within X years if we know their age, their sex and a few other details. According to U.S. actuarial tables, a 79-year-old male American with a body mass index of around 30, like Donald Trump, stands a 10 per cent chance of dying before the end of 2028. But the tables can’t tell you if Trump is in that 10 per cent.
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright observed some years ago that fascism is quite hard to define. It is not an ideology, she said. “I think it is a method, it’s a system.”
If it is a system, one of its most important processes is co-opting the military, perverting its independence into subservience. It is the method through which a fascist party can impose its will on the public without fear of resistance.
I think screaming that Trump is Hitler every 5 minutes as the Star does is the real “fascist system”.
On Sept. 19, 2025, a protest outside the ICE Broadview Processing Center in suburban Chicago escalated from chants to confrontation. Demonstrators blocked access roads, vandalized federal vehicles, and clashed with agents. Seventeen protesters were arrested in the first week, and within days a perimeter fence went up — not to hold detainees inside, but to protect federal officers from fellow citizens. The image was striking: a government fortifying itself against its own people in order to carry out the law.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has deleted its “Glossary of Extremism” after conservatives criticized the descriptions of Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA, among other groups, in the wake of Kirk’s assassination.
There’s an old adage, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” It recognizes the universal tactic for doing well away from home. Rep. Ilhan Omar is from Somalia. This we know. Just about all of the other details of her journey to this point are murky at best. The other thing we know is Omar probably would not do in Rome what the Romans do.
The US federal government has shut down after Republican and Democratic lawmakers failed to resolve a budget stand-off.
The impasse affects the funding of government operations throughout October and beyond, and is poised to cause widespread disruption for Americans in areas ranging from air travel to zoo visits.
The political gridlock is also expected to put 40% of the federal workforce – about 750,000 people – on unpaid leave.
