'The View' co-host Sunny Hostin claims 'reckoning' coming for masked ICE agents carrying out deportations
Hostin argued that ICE agents were masking themselves to avoid being held accountable for their actions in the future, rather than to protect their safety.
"They don't show IDs, they're not dressed appropriately, they're not flagged, and they're masked. So, in my world, you mask yourself because you don't want to be seen… because there will be a reckoning for some of the actions that law enforcement — actual law enforcement — have done," she asserted.
Hostin argued that if ICE agents performed their duties without wearing masks and "disappearing people from the streets," the public would feel less "endangered."
President Donald Trump's immigration policies as a whole were a hot topic for the panel, with co-host Ana Navarro alleging that the president's crackdown on illegal immigration is all about "making America White again."
"When you are talking about birthright citizenship and taking that away, this is not about going after the criminals and the gang members, this is about making America White again," she claimed.
Navarro furthered her point by claiming that while there are Latino and "Brown" immigrants being rounded up and deported, the Trump administration is opening the doors for White Afrikaners from South Africa who are fleeing a "nonexistent genocide."
Co-host Sara Haines accused the administration of investing in "fear-mongering" rather than "actual solutions," citing the breakdown of federal funding for deportations versus the funding for hiring immigration judges as evidence.
The Trump administration's new detention facility for illegal immigrants, "Alligator Alcatraz," located in the Florida Everglades, was also widely condemned by the panel.
According to Hostin, the detention facility is a "pay-for-play" scheme designed to enrich the Republican donors who helped elect Trump to the presidency.
"Who built and is making money off 'Alligator Alcatraz?' Republican donors, Republican donors. They invested millions to elect congresspeople, to elect Donald Trump, and they are getting rewarded," she claimed.
Navarro accused people who are taking trips to visit the facility of being "horrible people" and racists.
"If you are out there in the Everglades, driving out there and getting out of your car to take a picture like if it was the Eiffel Tower, you are a racist, and you are a horrible human being," she said.

Moe disappointed by Trump's tariffs but says Carney should remove countermeasures
SASKATOON - Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says Prime Minister Mark Carney should start removing counter tariffs against the United States to get a deal done with President Donald Trump. U.S Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has asked Ottawa to do away with countermeasures, and Moe says Canada should heed the advice. 'If we're serious about achieving a renewed, revamped and enhanced trade environment or some type of a new and improved (Canada-United States-Mexico trade agreement), somebody's going to have to move in this space,' Moe said Friday at a news conference. 'We would suggest that it should be Canada.' Trump followed through late Thursday on his threat to hit Canada with 35 per cent tariffs — up from 25 per cent — on goods not compliant with the trade agreement, better known as CUSMA. Tariffs of 50 per cent remain in effect on steel and some copper products, and levies on Canadian automobiles and lumber are also in place. Carney has imposed 25 per cent tariffs on $30 billion in U.S. goods. Moe said he's heard from farmers dinged by Canadian levies on steel bins, as it's importers pay those tariff charges. 'The reason we will be urging for a reduction of counter tariffs is they hurt Saskatchewan and Canadians, our families, our businesses and our places of work,' he said. '(It's) in the same way that Donald Trump's tariffs are pushing up the cost of doing business in the U.S. and really pushing them into a situation where the last two months running, their job numbers have been much more dismal than the projection.' Moe also called the jump in Trump's tariffs disappointing. He said he gives credit to Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc for ensuring exports compliant with CUSMA are tariff-free. Under the agreement, 95 per cent of Saskatchewan exports move into the United States without duties, Moe added. 'That is incredibly important,' the premier said. '(It) allows us largely to have an opportunity to create North American energy security, food security and manufacturing security.' U.S. Census Bureau data shows nearly 60 per cent of Canadian goods that entered the country in May were compliant with the agreement. Moe and other premiers have also called on Ottawa to cut regulations to spur pipeline and rail development. He said he's hopeful Carney's latest law to streamline approvals for national infrastructure projects will do just that. Meanwhile, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said the vast majority of her province's products remain tariff-free, because they also fall under the trade agreement. Smith said in a social media post it's unfortunate non-compliant goods will be hit with the higher tariffs. 'These tariffs hurt both Canadian and American businesses and workers, and they weaken one of the most important trade and security alliances in the world,' she said. 'I remain convinced that the path to a positive resolution with our U.S. partners lies in strong, consistent diplomacy and a commitment to working in good faith toward shared priorities.' Smith said Carney should continue negotiating with Trump, while working toward diversifying the country's economy. Both Moe and Smith recently reallowed U.S. liquor to be sold in their provinces, after temporarily banning such sales when the tariff war started earlier this year. Moe has said the 'elbows-up' approach in dealing with Trump is nothing more than a slogan. 'This is a time for us ... to make fact-based decisions, not to make decisions that maybe make us feel good, that we think are going to be good slogans or things of that nature,' he said Friday.

192,000 Play Kitchens Are Recalled After Child Dies of Strangulation
About 192,000 children's play kitchens that pose 'a risk of serious injury or death' are being recalled after the shirt of a 23-month-old boy got caught on one of its hooks and he asphyxiated, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said this week. The play kitchens, which were marketed as the KidKraft Farm to Table Model Play Kitchens, have three hooks intended to hang accessories. They can pose a strangulation and asphyxia hazard, the commission said. According to the recall notice from the commission, issued in conjunction with Canada's health agency, Health Canada, children who crawl onto the kitchen set could get caught on the hooks and asphyxiate or suffocate themselves. The product was sold by Backyard Kids of Plano, Texas, and previously KidKraft. In a statement, KidKraft said safety is its 'first priority.' It warned customers of the danger, adding that they 'should immediately stop using the recalled play kitchens.' Anyone who owns the kitchen toy set should remove the hooks and contact Backyard Kids for free replacement hooks, the consumer agency and the brand's statement said. A representative for Backyard Kids could not be immediately reached on Friday. A photo released with the recall shows a children's kitchen with a small fridge, sink and oven measuring 43 inches tall and 44 inches long. The area behind the sink and oven is backless with a rod that holds three hooks meant to hold play pots and pans. The promotional image for the product shows some toy kitchen utensils hanging from it. In February 2023, the clothing of the 23-month-old boy in Oregon got snagged on one of the hooks leading to his death, the commission said. The recalled kitchens were sold online at and from 2018 through July 2025. The model number 53411 is found on a sticker on the back of the play set, the commission said. KidKraft filed for bankruptcy in 2024, the commission said. KidKraft is a brand under Backyard Kids, according to the company's website. More information about the recall is available on the company's website.

Trump administration freezes $339M in UCLA grants and accuses the school of rights violations
The Trump administration is freezing $339 million in research grants to the University of California, Los Angeles, accusing the school of civil rights violations related to antisemitism, affirmative action and women's sports, according to a person familiar with the matter. The federal government has frozen or paused federal funding over similar allegations against private colleges but this is one of the rare cases it has targeted a public university. Several federal agencies notified UCLA this week that they were suspending grants over civil rights concerns, including $240 million from the Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes of Health, according to the person, who spoke about internal deliberations on the condition of anonymity. The Trump administration recently announced the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division found UCLA violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 'by acting with deliberate indifference in creating a hostile educational environment for Jewish and Israeli students.' Last week, Columbia agreed to pay $200 million as part of a settlement to resolve investigations into the government's allegations that the school violated federal antidiscrimination laws. The agreement also restores more than $400 million in research grants. The Trump administration plans to use its deal with Columbia as a template for other universities, with financial penalties that are now seen as an expectation. The National Science Foundation said in a statement it informed UCLA that it was suspending funding awards because the school isn't in line with the agency's priorities. UCLA's chancellor Julio Frenk called the government's decision 'deeply disappointing.' 'With this decision, hundreds of grants may be lost, adversely affecting the lives and life-changing work of UCLA researchers, faculty and staff,' he said in a statement. The Department of Energy said in its letter it found several 'examples of noncompliance' and faulted UCLA for inviting applicants to disclose their race in personal statements and for considering factors including family income and ZIP code. Affirmative action in college admissions was outlawed in California in 1996 and struck down by the Supreme Court in 2023. The letter said the school has taken steps that amount to 'a transparent attempt to engage in race-based admissions in all but name,' disadvantaging white, Jewish and Asian American applicants. It also said UCLA fails to promote an environment free from antisemitism and discriminates against women by allowing transgender women to compete on women's teams. Frenk said that in its letter the federal government 'claims antisemitism and bias as the reasons' to freeze the funding but 'this far-reaching penalty of defunding life-saving research does nothing to address any alleged discrimination.' Earlier this week, UCLA reached a $6 million settlement with three Jewish students and a Jewish professor who sued the university arguing it violated their civil rights by allowing pro-Palestinian protesters in 2024 to block their access to classes and other areas on campus. UCLA initially had argued that it had no legal responsibility over the issue because protesters, not the university, blocked Jewish students' access to some areas. The university also worked with law enforcement to thwart attempts to set up new protest camps. The university has said that it's committed to campus safety and inclusivity and will continue to implement recommendations. ___ Rodriguez reported from San Francisco and Binkley from Washington.
