Texas Redistricting WAR: Democrats Flee State to Block Republican's GOP Map |Abbott’s Vote Collapses

A dramatic showdown erupts in Texas as 51 Democratic lawmakers flee the state, heading to Illinois to block a Republican redistricting map backed by former President Donald Trump. The GOP-drafted map would add five Republican-leaning seats to the U.S. House, but Democrats say it's a blatant power grab that silences millions of voters. Without the two-thirds quorum needed to proceed, Governor Greg Abbott’s special session is now in chaos. As the redistricting war intensifies, Democrats call this political exile a fight for democracy, while Republicans label it cowardice. Will the runaway lawmakers succeed—or be hunted down, fined, or even removed from office? #TexasPolitics #RedistrictingCrisis #RunawayDems #TrumpBackedMap #GregAbbott #GOPPowerGrab #TexasDemocrats #Illinois #Election2026 #BreakingNews #PoliticalShowdown #USHouse #VotingRights #TrumpNews #AbbottVsDems

Trump Declares ‘Liberation Day’ in DC, Deploys National Guard, Takes Over Police—Vows to Crush Crime

“Liberation Day” in Washington, D.C. President Donald Trump has declared a public safety emergency and taken direct federal control of the D.C. Metropolitan Police. Flanked by Attorney General Pam Bondi, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and FBI Director Kash Patel, Trump announced the deployment of the National Guard to restore order in the capital, which he compared to Baghdad and Mexico City. Citing “phony crime numbers,” Trump said D.C. is spiraling into chaos — and he’s not stopping there. Cities like Chicago and Los Angeles are next on his list as he vows to expand the federal crackdown. Is this a bold move to save American cities — or an unprecedented power grab? Watch and decide. #Trump #LiberationDay #DCCrackdown #PamBondi #KashPatel #PeteHegseth #NationalGuard #PublicSafetyEmergency #LawAndOrder #FederalTakeover #DCProtests #Trump2025 #BreakingNews #USPolitics #BackTheBlue ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.420~

US Breaking: ICE Agent Pulls Out Rifle on SF Protesters Outside Courthouse | Woman Thrown from SUV

Chaos erupted on the streets of San Francisco on Tuesday as federal immigration agents clashed violently with protesters outside a city courthouse. The confrontation, now being called the most violent of its kind in the city this year, saw Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents using aggressive tactics against a group of approximately 20 demonstrators. The tense situation began around 11:18 a.m. when ICE agents attempted toescort a detained man from the courthouse. Protesters quickly formed a human chain, using their bodies and bicycles to block the exit while shouting anti-ICE slogans. In response, several agents, with their faces covered, were seen deploying pepper spray, pushing protesters to the ground with batons, and yelling expletives. The situation escalated dramatically when one agent brandished a rifle to intimidate the crowd. The most shocking moment occurred when a black SUV, reportedly waiting for the agents, sped through the crowd of protesters. Witnesses reported that a woman was thrown from the hood of the moving vehicle, which then almost ran her over a block away. This incident has sparked outrage and raises serious questions about the use of force by federal agents during public demonstrations in the United States. #SanFrancisco #ICE #USNews #Protest #BreakingNews #LatestNews #ViralVideo #OneindiaNews #Immigration #WorldNews Also Read ICE Allegedly Violated Rights of US Citizen and 21 Others During Arrests in Chicago :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ice-violated-rights-us-citizen-chicago-activists-allege-011-4097557.html?ref=DMDesc Zakir Hussain Faces Critical Health Challenges in San Francisco ICU Due to Heart Issues :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/zakir-hussain-heart-problems-san-francisco-011-4016713.html?ref=DMDesc Zakir Hussain Admitted to ICU in San Francisco Due to Heart Problems :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/zakir-hussain-heart-problems-san-francisco-011-4016689.html?ref=DMDesc
