It's Your Call for May 6
Who will be left?
Now, once St. Joe chases out all their reliable residents, who are they going to have left? Who's going to work these factories? Who's going to pay them sewer bills? Who's going to mow grass? Who's going to take care of the streets? Once they chase out everybody that's decent here, who are they going to have left? Nobody.
So much for that
Trump said, 'I don't know if I have to uphold the Constitution.' So much for the oath of office.
It needs to stop
The Department of Homeland Security ICE agents are operating like gangsters, picking up people without notice, wearing masks and plain clothes, refusing to show any identification, putting people in handcuffs and in unmarked vans and sending them to prisons without due process. This is not the way law enforcement works in a democracy under the U.S. Constitution, and it needs to stop now.
A spineless congress
I hope most people realize whether it is a Democrat president or a Republican president, the reason they have to use executive orders is because our congresspeople are gutless. And both parties, they're afraid they're going to go against someone's vote, and they might not get to stay in power and keep office and keep lining their pockets. That's why executive orders have become the norm, because we have spineless congresspeople.

2 of 4 ICE detainees who escaped from NJ facility captured: FBI
Two of four detainees who escaped from an immigration detention center in New Jersey on Friday have been captured, authorities said on Sunday. The FBI's Newark field office said the detainees, Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez and Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada, were back in custody but did not immediately release details about their reported apprehension. Detainees Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes and Andres Pineda-Mogollon, who also escaped Friday from Delaney Hall Detention Facility in in Newark, remained at large on Sunday, officials said. Sen. Andy Kim, D-N.J., said at a news conference on Friday that the four men escaped from the privately owned facility that has been contracted out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by breaking through a wall – which he described as "drywall with a mesh interior" – in a unit that led to an exterior wall and into a parking lot. Kim said he was briefed on escape by the facility's administrators and ICE officials. Kim said the detainees bolted from the Delaney Hall during an "uprising" at the facility. However, the Department of Homeland Security released a subsequent statement saying, "contrary to current reporting, there has been no widespread unrest at the Delaney Hall Detention facility." DHS described all four detainees who escaped as "public safety threats." The agency said Bautista-Reyes is from Honduras and that he allegedly illegally entered the United States in 2021. On May 3, 2025, the Wayne Township, N.J., Police Department arrested Bautista-Reyes on charges of aggravated assault, attempt to cause bodily injury, terroristic threats and possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, according to DHS. Pineda-Mogollon of Colombia entered the United States in 2023 and is illegally in country after overstaying a tourist visa, according to DHS. On April 25, the New York City Police Department arrested Pineda-Mogollon for petit larceny, DHS said. After being released in New York City, Pineda-Mogollon was arrested on May 21 by the Union, N.J. Police Department on suspicion of residential burglary, conspiracy residential burglary and possession of burglary tools, according to DHS. Captured detainee Castaneda-Lozada, also of Colombia, illegally entered the U.S. in 2022, according to DHS. He was arrested on May 15 in Hammonton, N.J., on suspicion of burglary, theft and conspiracy to commit burglary, DHS said. The other captured detainee, Sandoval-Lopez of Honduras, illegally entered the U.S. as a minor in 2019. He was arrested on Feb. 15 by Passaic, N.J., police on a charge of aggravated assault. Sandoval-Lopez was also arrested on Oct. 3 in Passaic police on charges of unlawful possession of a handgun, according to DHS. 2 of 4 ICE detainees who escaped from NJ facility captured: FBI originally appeared on

Trump: The war between Israel and Iran should end
President Trump said after a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday that the war between Israel and Iran needs to end. Why it matters: Trump's call for ending the war comes less than 48 hours after Israel launched its attacks against Iran and shows the amount of concern at the White House from the escalating fighting. What he's saying:"President Putin called this morning to very nicely wish me a Happy Birthday, but to more importantly, talk about Iran, a country he knows very well. He feels, as do I, this war in Israel-Iran should end, to which I explained, his war should also end," Trump wrote on his Truth Social account. Driving the news: The nuclear talks planned for Sunday in Muscat have been cancelled due to the Israeli attack against Iran, the foreign minister of Oman Badr al-Busaidi said. "While there will be no meeting Sunday, we remain committed to talks and hope the Iranians will come to the table soon," a U.S. official said. The fighting between Israel and Iran continued to escalate on Saturday with Israel saying the Israel Defense Forces have achieved full freedom of operation in the airspace around Iran 's capital Tehran. The White House is concerned about the escalation and is trying to press the Iranians to go back to the negotiations table. "Whatever happens today cannot be prevented. But we have the ability to negotiate a successful peaceful resolution to this conflict if Iran is willing. The fastest way for Iran to accomplish peace is to give up its nuclear weapons program," a White House official told Axios. State of play: Trump told Putin in their phone call on Saturday that White House envoy Steve Witkoff is ready to resume nuclear talks with Iran's foreign minister, the Russian president's foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov said. Putin, in previous phone calls, proposed that Trump help in the nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran. Context: The current crisis between Israel and Iran will be a test case for Trump's strategy of mending relations between the U.S. and Russia in order to solve crisis around the world together. Trump and Putin both spoke on Friday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Putin spoke to Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian. Putin told both Netanyahu and Pezeshkian that he is ready to mediate between the parties to prevent further escalation of tensions, the Kremlin said. Trump also spoke on Saturday with Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan about the war between Israel and Iran. Erdogan said he told Trump that an uncontrolled escalation in the region must be prevented. Behind the scenes: Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi told the EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas on Saturday that Iran will not continue its negotiations with the U.S. as long as the Israeli attack on Iran continues. He claimed the U.S. directly supports the Israeli strikes, the Iranian foreign ministry said. But two sources with direct knowledge said Araghchi told several foreign ministers in the last 36 hours that Iran will be willing to resume negotiations with the U.S. once its retaliation for the Israeli attack is over. The bottom line: Putin told Trump in their 50-minute call that Russia is ready to continue direct negotiations with Ukraine after June 22, Putin's adviser Yuri Ushakov said. Trump said he asked Putin to end the war in Ukraine and noted that Russia and Ukraine are moving forward with a large prisoner swap.
