    A suspect whom the Department of Homeland Security called an “anti-ICE rioter” set off fireworks outside a federal office building in New York and injured only one person—an immigrant who was there for an immigration status hearing. “The one civilian victim was an immigrant that had a hearing today for their immigration status, so that’s…

    Erasing Little Italy Is About More Than a Map

    New York City has long been celebrated as a city of immigrant neighborhoods.

    Welfare: It’s Not Just for Americans Anymore

    Leftists like to claim that virtually no benefit money is given to noncitizens. A recent analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies argues that this is false. Households headed by noncitizens are not only receiving government benefits, but they are receiving them at higher rates than citizen households. Steven Camarota, director of research for the…

    Sanctuary Cities Are Rehearsing Europe’s Vigilante Future

    Movies work like a cultural seismograph: They record public anxiety before politicians get around to admitting it exists. This year’s “Citizen Vigilante” is set in Europe, but the reaction to it belongs in a Washington conversation. Germany’s censors banned the film outright rather than let audiences see a story about migrant crime and judicial leniency,…

    Ireland Is Being Repressed—by the Irish

    When a man in Belfast, Northern Ireland, was stabbed and nearly beheaded by a Sudanese migrant two weeks ago, the governmental response was unnervingly familiar: Remain calm, suppress the truth, and scold the native people for their strong reaction against a select foreign class. Welcome back to 1726. The Irish people’s long struggles with British…

    A republic is not ordinarily undone by a single dramatic stroke. Instead, it is softened by evasions—failures to comply with rules and failures by officials to do their duties. And so, the present controversies in Fairfax County, Virginia, and in Cook and Lake counties, Illinois, are not merely another quarrel over immigration policy. They are…
