Video: ICE agents don’t shoot drug dealers crossing US border. The uncomfortable truth is that these operations thrive because money ensures silence and selective enforcement. 美國移民及海關執法局的幹員不會槍擊越境毒販. 令人不安的真相是:這些犯罪活動之所以猖獗, 正是因為有足夠的錢就能買到沉默, 並實現選擇性執法
Ask yourself this: when was the last time ICE agents confronted—let alone shot at—the hundreds of drug dealers trafficking cocaine into the United States from Mexico every day? The uncomfortable truth is that these operations thrive because money ensures silence and selective enforcement. 請反問自己：上一次移民及海關執法局探員真正面對 – 更不用說開槍反擊 – 那些每日從墨西哥向美國販運古柯鹼的數百名毒販，是什麼時候？令人不安的真相是：這些犯罪活動之所以猖獗，正是因為金錢確保了沉默與選擇性執法。

Zhang Youxia’s downfall is only the beginning? Why is Beijing carrying out a forceful purge of the military? This is not infighting—it’s a signal that China is entering an “absolute state of war.”
With Zhang Youxia falling from power and Liu Zhenli under investigation, the top ranks of Beijing’s military are undergoing an unprecedented reshuffle. Many people think this means the military is out of control. Wrong. On the contrary, it shows that the military is about to enter an “absolute state of war.” Why is this not internal power struggle, but something aimed at Taiwan?
Why is Xi Jinping striking so hard at the “hereditary aristocracy”? In this episode, Mai Zi delivers a hard-core analysis of the ultimate lethal intent behind this purge:
Authoritarian logic: Why does war tolerate “democracy” the least? Only a single voice can unleash maximum combat power.
Historical review: From the “summoning of the spirit” at the Gutian Conference to a decade of purges—how has Xi Jinping reshaped the military’s soul?
The truth about avoiding war: Why are the “Red Second Generation” the biggest “anti-war faction” within the military? What does eliminating them really mean?
If you understand this purge, you will understand the Chinese military’s determination to “be able to fight wars and to win them.”
The universities with the highest number of graduates hired by Huawei in 2024… Western institutions like Stanford, Harvard, MIT, and Caltech seem unable to keep up with China’s top tech universities, so none of their graduates made the list. 華為2024年簽約畢業生人數最多的大學名單…西方大學好像史丹佛大學，哈佛大學，麻省理工學院，加州理工學院等追不上中國頂尖科技大學，因此，他們的畢業生中無一人上榜。
12th: Central South University → 204 people 11th: Nanjing University → 223 people 10th: Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications → 225 people 9th: Northwestern Polytechnical University → 285 people 8th: University of Science and Technology of China → 350 people 7th: Xi’an Jiaotong University → 394 people 6th: Shanghai Jiao Tong University → 402 people 5th: Southeast University → 414 people 4th: South China University of Technology → 467 people 3rd: Harbin Institute of Technology → 475 people 2nd: Zhejiang University → 550 people 1st: Xidian University → 783 people
Does this data颠覆 your expectations? It clearly highlights Huawei’s strategic shift toward strengthening partnerships with China’s leading technology and engineering universities, focusing on cultivating and recruiting top domestic talent.
PHOENIX — Attorney General Mayes today issued the following statement regarding her recent comments on ICE activity, and the recent events in Minneapolis:
I want to speak directly to Arizona law enforcement and reiterate my support and appreciation for the work you do every day to keep our state and its people safe.
I have seen firsthand as your attorney general the dedication and commitment you bring to a job that is inherently dangerous. You will always have my full support.
Despite how right-wing media has mischaracterized recent comments I made about ICE and the danger its actions pose to public safety, the idea that I would want the life of any member of law enforcement put in danger is wrong, offensive, and an outright lie. Danger to law enforcement is the very thing I want to avoid in Arizona.
But I will not be deterred from speaking out or criticizing the Trump administration for its ongoing abuses of power and its trashing of our sacred constitution — which I took an oath to uphold. An oath that I take seriously with every ounce of my being.
And I will not accept the hypocrisy from Republican legislators and candidates for office who have twisted my words but remained silent after Donald Trump pardoned the rioters who assaulted and beat capitol police officers on January 6th, 2021.
Arizonans do not want masked agents entering their homes without warrants. It is un-American and threatens the rights and safety of everyone in our state.
But we have all witnessed the increasingly chaotic and dangerous activity of ICE agents in cities across the country.
And this month, two Americans, Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti have been killed at the hands of federal agents in Minneapolis. The federal government has also become openly hostile to state and local law enforcement organizations in Minnesota that are attempting to keep their state safe.
Because of what is happening in this country, I have become increasingly concerned for the safety of Arizonans and state and local law enforcement if the Trump administration surges a large number of poorly trained agents to our state.
ICE’s behavior is destroying the public’s trust in law enforcement and putting every American, including local law enforcement in danger. It will take years if not decades to undo the damage that has been done over the past twelve months.
The Trump administration must stop this chaos and destruction and pull this country back from the brink.
I will always stand in support of Arizona’s sheriffs and police departments, and my office will continue to work with our state, local, and tribal partners to keep Arizona safe and peaceful. I urge the Trump administration to do the same.
And as long as I am Arizona’s attorney general, I will never waver in my defense of the United States Constitution and the rights it guarantees the people of this great nation. Thank you. God bless Arizona and God bless America.
I hereby solemnly suggest: the state should investigate every single publicly-funded scholar since the reinstatement of the Gaokao forty years ago who stayed abroad instead of returning—especially those remaining in strategic adversary nations like the United States and Japan!
Since they were publicly funded, they were essentially state-supported personnel!
The state invested money, equivalent to paying their salaries, yet they didn’t return after their studies—isn’t this tantamount to defection?
Criminal liability could be pursued, with online warrants issued for their arrest! Even their families should face consequences!
Staying abroad on public funding isn’t just a loss of talent—it’s a betrayal of the state’s trust. Public funding was meant for you to gain skills, not to contribute to other nations.
Breaching the agreement means repaying the money—that’s the most basic principle. We must thoroughly investigate those intentionally overstaying, reclaim the funds, and blacklist them as untrustworthy!
National interests cannot be trampled upon arbitrarily, nor should those who abide by the rules feel disheartened.
Firmly support severe punishment for those who betray the motherland, and uphold fairness and justice!
NYT: Minneapolis and Gaza Now Share the Same Violent Language. By Thomas L. Friedman Jan. 25, 2026 明尼阿波利斯與加沙如今共享同一套暴力語言。《紐約時報》專欄作家湯馬斯·佛里曼 2026年1月25日
Every day now, I sit at my computer and ask myself: What is there left to say about the two news stories I care about most? One is unfolding in my hometown, on the banks of the Mississippi River; the other is unfolding on the West Bank of the Jordan and on both banks of the Wadi Gaza.
Which video should I linger on longest? The footage of Renee Good, shot in the face by an ICE officer in Minneapolis while she was clearly trying to evacuate the scene? Or the video from Saturday of federal agents shooting Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an intensive care nurse, after he tried to help a woman who was being pepper-sprayed? Or perhaps the video from Wednesday showing the aftermath of Israeli strikes that killed three Palestinian journalists, among others, in Gaza? The journalists had been working for a committee providing Egyptian aid and were documenting its distribution at a displacement camp. Or perhaps the videos of Hamas executing rivals and refusing to yield, despite the fact that the war the group ignited on Oct. 7, 2023, has resulted in nothing but catastrophe for Palestinians?
These stories have much more in common than you might think. All are driven, in my view, by terrible leaders who prefer easy, violent solutions to the hard work of negotiated problem-solving. These leaders see an iron-fisted approach as the best way to win their next elections: President Trump in the 2026 midterms; Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, who is expected to call elections around the same time; and Hamas, in its desperate effort to lead the Palestinian movement in the postwar era, despite having lost the war.
Hamas and ICE also share one very visible trait that I never thought I’d see in the United States: Almost all of their foot soldiers wear masks. My experience as a reporter in the Middle East taught me that people wear masks because they are up to something bad and don’t want their faces captured on camera. I saw it often in Beirut and in Gaza; I never expected to see it in Minneapolis. Since when have America’s domestic policing forces, charged with defending the Constitution and the rule of law, felt the need to hide their identities?
I understand why Hamas fighters wear masks — they have both Israeli and Palestinian blood on their hands and fear retribution. But if you placed a photo of an ICE officer next to a Hamas militiaman in a news quiz, I would defy you to tell them apart. Memo to the homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem: That is not a good look. What are you hiding?
Good and Pretti were both clearly present as observers — and trying to defend others — yet both were drawn into the chaos and shot at close range by agents who should never have pulled a trigger. Yet the Trump team insists that ICE is blameless. That is not how you build legitimacy for a government effort to track down and deport illegal immigrants.
That same instinct for “fire, ready, aim” is one of the morally corrupting legacies of Israel’s war in Gaza. One of the Palestinian journalists killed by the Israeli airstrike on Wednesday, Abdel Raouf Shaath, had worked for years as a cameraman for CBS News and other outlets; the others were local journalists Mohammad Salah Qishta and Anas Ghneim. They were reportedly on assignment to film aid distribution by the Egyptian Relief Committee when their vehicle was targeted.
Really? Was that the only way to handle the situation during a cease-fire? Immediately launch an airstrike and ask questions later? Israel can assassinate nuclear scientists in Iran in the dead of night from 1,200 miles away, yet it can’t distinguish a journalist from a combatant in broad daylight next door? It’s shameful. This comes only months after Israeli forces killed the Reuters journalist Hussam al-Masri on the stairs of Gaza’s Nasser Hospital in August.
Netanyahu apologized for that earlier killing. But regarding the three journalists killed last week, the Israel Defense Forces released a boilerplate statement saying troops identified “several suspects who operated a drone affiliated with Hamas” and “struck the suspects who activated the drone.” The I.D.F. added that details are being reviewed. That is what it always says. That is how a nation and an army loses its soul.
Here is what is really happening: Netanyahu is running for re-election. Israel currently occupies approximately 53 percent of the Gaza Strip, with Hamas holding the other 47 percent. Trump — with help from Egypt, Qatar and Turkey — is pushing for Hamas to disarm, for its military leaders to leave and for the organization to become a purely political entity. In return, Trump expects Israel to begin a withdrawal toward its own border.
Netanyahu knows that if he runs for election with Hamas still holding political influence in Gaza and the I.D.F. pulling back, he will be savaged by the far-right extremists in his coalition. Those allies don’t just want to stay in Gaza; they want to annex the West Bank. So Bibi wants the war to continue; he wants to provoke Hamas into fighting so he never has to withdraw.
Meanwhile, Hamas is clinging to its weapons to maintain control on the ground. Even if forced to become a political entity, it will do everything in its power to hijack the technocratic Palestinian government the Trump administration is trying to install.
Back at home, Trump seems to believe the chaos in Minneapolis will work for him in November — even though polls show a majority of Americans disapprove of ICE’s tactics. He is betting he can run on a “law and order” platform fueled by anti-immigration sentiment.
There is, however, another view inside the White House. Vice President JD Vance visited Minneapolis last week to urge local officials to cooperate with federal agents to “lower the temperature and lower the chaos.” Suddenly, the cynical Vance — of all people — was the voice of calm and reason. I suspect he was channeling the fears of Republican lawmakers who worry that ICE’s activities could lead to an electoral disaster in the midterms.
To my friends and family in Minnesota: Stay proud of the way you are documenting abuses and standing up for your neighbors — those with legal papers and those without them — who abide by the law, work hard and enrich our city. But it is vital that this campaign be accompanied by a loud commitment to immigration reform that both controls the border and creates a legal pathway to citizenship.
The winning message remains: high wall, big gate. Control the border, but increase legal immigration. Democrats must never forget that one reason Trump returned to power was the previous administration’s failure to control illegal immigration. Independent voters still care deeply about that.
Trump, Bibi and Hamas each have their eyes on the prize: the 2026 elections. The people of Minnesota, Israel and Gaza must keep that in mind. Because if Trump maintains control of Congress, if Bibi wins re-election and if Hamas seizes control of the Palestinian movement, all three societies will head into a darkness from which recovery will be agonizingly difficult.

Video: Since ICE is targeting primarily women and children. A Chinese woman walking down the street with a children ran into ICE, what is your chance of getting arrest? Once arrested you will be immediately separated with your children. You will be placed in detention camps with criminals. Your chance of getting sexually assaulted extremely high! This is a risk you need to access each time you leave your house! 鑑於移民及海關執法局（ICE）主要針對婦女和兒童進行執法，若一名華裔婦女帶著孩子走在街上遭遇ICE，其被捕機率為何？一旦被捕，你將被迫馬上與骨肉分離，妳將會與罪犯一同關押在同一個拘留營中。在此處遭遇性侵犯的風險極高！這是中國人尤其女性每次離家都必須評估的潛在危險！
What will you do if unfortunately you got arrested by ICE (your US passport not going to save you, you still going to get arrested)? 1) Your husband is an attorney, be sure he answers your calls! 2) You don’t have attorney husband or friends, time to find one. But even your attorney friends may not be available during after hours and weekends! Can you handle 2-3 days sexual abuses by hard criminals in the detention center? 3) Some of my wealthy clients retain attorneys in advance. They pay annual retainer fee of US$1-5,000 just to get their mobile number and assurance they will answer your calls 24/7.
