GOP Rep Faces Angry Crowd at Town Hall Meeting
Another Republican lawmaker has faced a cacophony of boos and jeers when coming face-to-face with the general public to defend President Donald Trump's legislative agenda. Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-Calif.) felt the wrath of constituents over the huge tax and spending bill, the trade war, and the crackdown on immigration when speaking during a town hall in Chico, California, on Monday. Tensions ran so high that LaMalfa, who was reportedly holding his first in-person forum in close to eight years, was repeatedly called a 'liar' when doing his utmost to justify the president's policies. LaMalfa joins a growing cast of GOP politicians who have been given a raucous reception when meeting voters. Earlier this month, Rep. Mike Flood (R-Neb.) was heckled relentlessly when confronted over Medicaid cuts, the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, and ICE detentions. PBS / Via LaMalfa, who represents a large rural area of Northern California, held the town hall despite GOP top brass ordering an end to in-person events because of the rise of so-called 'professional protesters.' A major flashpoint in Chico came when a constituent asked LaMalfa, 'Why are you part of this movement toward fascism?' After LaMalfa asked him to 'stop right there,' the constituent continued with his actual question. He went on: 'If you're not here to announce your resignation, why aren't you here to apologize to the farmers of the North State because of your support for the Trump tariffs?' 'Do you actually want to talk about something productive?' LaMalfa replied, before suggesting the inquiry was 'grandstanding.' Against a backdrop of jeering and a distinct cry of 'You're a loser, Doug,' the congressman outlined how farmers in India had undercut growers in the region, so someone needed to be 'bold enough' to take action on tariffs. 'You're a little loose with the word 'fascism' when there's plenty of it going on on the other side of the aisle,' LaMalfa added, without giving details on the Democratic Party., LaMalfa was also drowned out by boos when delivering the standard Republican line about eliminating 'waste and fraud' to justify cutting Medicaid. GOP Rep. Doug LaMalfa held a town hall — and was drowned out by an uproar of boos from constituents. When he tried to bring up Medicaid a constituent shouted: "YOU CUT OUR HEALTH CARE" — More Perfect Union (@MorePerfectUS) August 11, 2025 @MorePerfectUS / Via Twitter: @MorePerfectUS 'We don't want anybody to be harmed by this effort,' he said. 'Indeed, we want the focus to be on those folks that actually do qualify. And that will be a bigger win for them.' 'You liar!' was one audible response among the dissonance. Also at the town hall, an attendee who said their parents were Holocaust survivors compared Japanese internment camps of World War II to ICE raids and deportations under Trump. 'Will the name LaMalfa be mentioned in the same sentence as [Hitler's propaganda chief Joseph] Goebbels, [Nazi physician Josef] Mengele, and Trump?' the constituent asked. 'I predict no,' LaMalfa replied.

Trio of MS-13 migrants busted in Nassau County in joint ICE operation face 14 attempted murder charges
Three MS-13 migrants who allegedly terrorized Nassau County were busted last week in a joint operation between ICE, local police and the FBI — and charged with a spate of violent crimes including 14 counts of attempted murder and 49 counts of assault, The Post has learned. The Aug. 8 arrests of the baby-faced gangbangers — two of whom sources say crossed into the US illegally during the Biden administration — was confirmed by Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, who vowed to keep supporting the feds in their immigration crackdown. 'As a result of a joint operation between the Nassau County Police Department and ICE, three alleged dangerous gang members charged with murder and other serious crimes were apprehended and are now incarcerated pending trial or deportation, making us an even safer county and region,' Blakeman told The Post in a statement. Advertisement 3 Gang member Jeffrey Bladimir Valladares Archaga, 20, from Honduras was charged with fourth-degree possession of a firearm, third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and driving without a license. Obtained by NY Post 'We will continue work with our federal and local partners to ensure we remain the safest county in America.' Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged immigration detainers against all three gang members, sources said. Advertisement None of the migrants taken into police custody last Friday are older than 21, and between the three of them, they face the attempted murder and assault raps — along with 7 weapon possession charges, according to the sources. Two of the three gang members entered the US illegally during the Biden administration. In a departure from the Big Apple's sanctuary city policies — which tie the hands of federal immigration authorities seeking to detain and deport illegal immigrants who commit crimes — Nassau County has pledged to work with ICE to get violent criminal migrants off the streets. Since February, Nassau County has detained more than 1,400 illegal immigrants for ICE at Nassau County Correctional Center in partnership with the feds, even setting aside 50 cells in the facility specifically to hold migrants awaiting deportation, Blakeman announced earlier this year. Advertisement 3 Ellias Wilfredo Serrano Bonilla, 21, was hit with eight counts of attempted murder, first-degree assault with intent to cause serious injury with a weapon, and a host of other alleged assaults and robberies. Obtained by NY Post 'America is no longer a dumping ground for foreign criminals and gang members,' acting ICE Director Todd M. Lyons told The Post. 'ICE will continue to find, arrest and remove MS-13 and other terrorists who come here to wreak havoc on communities and destroy this nation.' The rap sheets of the three Central American migrants netted during the Aug. 8 joint operation read like a laundry list of violent criminal acts. Advertisement Ellias Wilfredo Serrano Bonilla, 21, a criminal alien from El Salvador, illegally entered the US sometime prior to December, 2016, sources said. 3 Edras Daniel Velasquez Giron, 19, an illegal alien from Honduras, was hit with six accounts of attempted murder, and 20 more counts including assaults and robberies. Obtained by NY Post On Jan. 8, 2020, Nassau County cops arrested and charged him with first-degree assault and first-degree gang assault. Then during the Aug. 8 bust, he was slapped with dozens of additional charges including eight counts of attempted murder, first-degree assault with intent to cause serious injury with a weapon and first-degree gang assault causing serious injury, as well as a host of other robberies and assaults, according to sources. Also arrested was Edras Daniel Velasquez Giron, 19, an illegal alien from Honduras who illegally entered the US before June, 2022, the sources said. Fifteen months later, in September, 2023, a New York immigration judge ordered him removed to Honduras in absentia. After the joint operation, he was charged with six accounts of attempted murder, first-degree assault with intent to cause serious injury with a weapon, first-degree gang assault with intent to cause serious injury with a weapon and an additional 18 counts of assault and robberies, sources said. The third criminal migrant snagged during the joint operation was Jeffrey Bladimir Valladares Archaga, 20, from Honduras, who sources said entered the US unlawfully near Calexico, Calif. in 2022. Advertisement On July 17, he was arrested in Nassau County and charged with fourth-degree possession of a firearm, third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and driving without a license. Valladares Archaga is not facing any attempted murder or assault charges. So far, similar joint efforts between federal immigration authorities and local law enforcement have seen over 1,600 criminal aliens taken off the streets of Long Island, an ICE spokesperson told The Post.

Judge says ICE can't hold detainees at NYC facility unless it improves conditions and gives them sleeping mats
A federal judge on Tuesday said he would block the Trump administration from using a federal building in New York City to hold immigrants facing deportation unless it reduces the number of detainees and improves conditions at the site, including by providing sleeping mats and hygiene products. U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan issued the temporary restraining order after holding a hearing earlier Tuesday. A government lawyer conceded in court that those detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, at the Manhattan facility did not have access to certain services, including sleeping mats, in-person legal visits, medication and more than two meals per day. The holding facility in question, located inside the 26 Federal Plaza building in downtown Manhattan, has been at the center of widespread criticism from pro-immigrant advocates, who have denounced conditions faced by detainees there as "inhumane." Video released last month showed detainees at the facility lying on the ground, without mats or beds. ICE has said the site has fewer services because it is not designed for long-term detention, though government data indicates some detainees have been held for days there. Last week, the American Civil Liberties Union and other advocates filed a lawsuit against ICE over the 26 Federal Plaza holding facility, alleging that detainees there were being held in unsafe and unsanitary conditions, without access to basic necessities, including hygiene products. The advocates said detainees only received two "inedible" meals daily and were denied access to unrestricted calls with lawyers. On Tuesday morning, Justice Department lawyer Jeffrey Oestericher said the government did not dispute that detainees at the facility only received blankets, not beds or sleeping mats. He confirmed detainees get two meals each day — not three — and that the toilets for detainees are inside the same area where they sleep. Oestericher said the facility does not permit in-person visitations due to its "layout" and noted the government did not dispute claims that detainees lack access to medication. In his order later Tuesday, Kaplan placed restrictions on how many people ICE can hold at the Manhattan site, prohibiting the agency from using holding rooms with a floor area that is less than 50 square feet per detainee. Kaplan said ICE could only hold people at the facility if it offered them regular calls with lawyers, clean bedding mats, know-your-rights notices, access to medication, soap, towels, toilet paper, toothpaste and feminine hygiene products. He also ordered ICE to ensure the holding areas are cleaned three times each day. Representatives for ICE did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Tuesday's temporary restraining order, which is set to last for 14 days. The Trump administration has repeatedly denied allegations of subpar conditions at ICE detention centers. "Today's order sends a clear message: ICE cannot hold people in abusive conditions and deny them their Constitutional rights to due process and legal representation," said Eunice Cho, a senior attorney at the ACLU. New York City Comptroller Brad Lander called the ruling "a much-needed rebuke of Trump's cruel immigration policies" in a statement Tuesday. In July, the New York Immigration Coalition released a video, which was verified by CBS News New York, showing conditions on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza. On the video, it appears over two dozen people are being held together in one room. The person taking the video is heard saying, "Look how they have us here like dogs." The room does not appear to have any furniture in it. A number of people are seen laying or sitting on towels or foil blankets on the floor. There are two toilets with sinks in the back of the room, only separated by half walls with no doors. One of the two toilets is covered with a foil blanket. The legal fight over the Manhattan holding facility comes at a time when ICE is detaining record numbers of people facing deportation. On Tuesday morning, ICE was holding nearly 60,000 detainees in detention centers throughout the U.S., according to internal agency data. As part of President Trump's government-wide crackdown on illegal immigration, ICE has sought to expand its detention system by bringing new facilities online, brokering agreements with states willing to convert local sites into immigration detention centers and using military bases, like Fort Bliss in Texas, as deportation staging hubs.
