A who's who of Ice targets.

SPEAKER_00:

Hello, everybody, and welcome to The Grapefruit Agenda, another edition of Dissecting Journalism and Its Malcontents, revealing anti-big media content. And with our bold podcast, we will not relent to excoriate the profligate, summarize, analyze, and criticize what passes for news today. Why Grapefruit? Because we're sweet on conservatism and sour on liberalism. Today's quest shows how the country is splitting around the invasion of our southern border and what remedies we have to quell the current rebellion. We call this piece Bad Hombres. Remember Trump calling the people crossing the border Bad Hombres? And they were. A lot of Bad Hombres. And it's been proven large percentages of these people that ICE is picking up are in fact Bad Hombres. But we start today's quest with a picture of Karen Bass, a fine lass. But she might be a A bad senora. She couldn't be a bad hombre, unless she's in drag, I don't know. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass condemned federal agents and National Guard troops for swarming a city park on July 7th. I believe that was MacArthur Park, where she was calling these troops the Storm Troopers. And CNN, CNN covered this, by the way, and I saw a picture on CNN of these troops going in, and it was speeded up. as if they were rushing through the park. I thought it was MacArthur Park. And they were rushing through the park like stormtroopers, but it was so silly. It was like a 1910 early movie edition of these guys walking in fast step. It was like Photoshop time-lapse. It was just... It was amateurs by CNN to show that these troops were rushing in like it was World War I, coming out of the trenches. But this story here from USA Today, the headline is this. Immigrant advocates... Face FBI scrutiny. Now, here's where the journalism comes in, Grapefruiters. These are not immigrant advocates. Immigrants are people who are legally here. They're residents, if not citizens, immigrants. We're concerned with illegal immigrants, and so the journalism is perverted already. But this is a story about a lady named Verita Topiti. She was just walking her dog along the afternoon park in Debs Park. She was putting her dog in the car, and multiple FBI agents approached her. They presented her with a search warrant for her phone and yanked it from her hand with such force as she left with bruises. Then she arrested and temporarily detained. She's not facing charges. Well, later on we find out that the DA for the Central District of California drops the charges. But Topiti said she believes she was targeted because of her role helping organizations protest against immigration raids in Los Angeles. Again, these are not immigration raids. They're illegal alien raids. So a leader of the Immigration Committee at Centro CSO, which has been an advocate for Chicano and immigrant rights for decades, Tapiti, has been mobilizing residents in Los Angeles against the immigration and customs enforcement ICE raids that started June 6th. And so she's a leader of the anti-ICE crusade. So she's not just walking her dog alone and being picked up off the street. As they say, the left calls them snatching off the streets. She was involved when her father was detained in 2020, so it's been going back a while, to PD and her other advocates at Centro CSO. So the article goes on, USA article. She's not the only one facing increased scrutiny, as is Karen Bass. And as we go through this, we're going to see a lot of other people facing scrutiny. An FBI spokesperson said the agency investigates federal crimes and threats to the national security. We'll never open an investigation based solely on First Amendment protected activity. So these terrorists, do you call them activists? They're trying to pass off as terrorists. People who are exercising their First Amendment with masks. And as recently down in Texas, we saw with guns, big firecrackers, guns. They attacked the building in Texas, Alvarado, Texas. They attacked the building where ICE was. We'll talk a minute about that. We are criminalized simply for not being willing to tolerate hate. and injustice around us, Topiti continues. This is a clear attack of them trying to silence us, but we will not be silenced. She says protesting is not a crime. Stop the FBI witch hunt. And Karen Bass chips in. Karen Bass is going to be, well, actually, before that, hear about Black Lives Matter. Here's a guy named Baba Akili. Papa Achille, he's got two cents in this piece, too. National field coordinator for Black Lives Matter said members are in solidarity with the immigrant population because, quote, if we don't stop this now, if we don't stand up now in solidarity, then we are next. We, I assume, are black people. So we're going to go after, is ICE going to go after all black people? Are they going to empty the NBA? If we don't stop now, they're going to come after us. We have to stand in solidarity with Central CSO because they have stood with us. Really? Central CSO has stood with who? Black Lives Matter? That's possible. Meanwhile, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is condemning federal agents and National Guard troops for descending on her city park. She said armored vehicles, mounted officers, and armed troops briefly swarmed the city's park. This is the one where I saw the sped-up video. It was so childish. It was unbelievable. We continue. Bass said 20 children were playing in the park before the troops surged through, and she shared footage of federal officers running through the park. Maybe that's the same footage that I saw, time-lapse photography. She says, frankly, it's outrageous and un-American that we have federal armed vehicles in our parks when nothing is going on in our parks. Well, the FBI and ICE... begged to differ. The mayor said on X, she visited the park the second she heard about what was happening and ordered the person in charge to leave immediately. Imagine the mayor telling the federal agents to leave immediately. Did they leave immediately? No, there was quite a snapback. Quite a snapback. So a military-style operation designed to strike fear in the heart of our city. We will not be afraid and we will not be divided. We will stand together, she wrote. Karen Bass. But a couple of days later, in Texas, 10 suspects charged in July 4th attack on Texas ICE detention facility. They were charged later. The attack was July 4th. But a week later, nearly a dozen violent assailants. Have you seen the pictures, grapefruiters, of these people? The violent assailants? Half of them look like they are trans. In fact, two of them admitted to that. Two were a Hispanic couple. The others look like just white dopes. White dopes on hopes. Hopes of what? The idealism of bringing the whole world here because we have 10 million illegal people crossing the border, and they want them to stay for some reason. They want to give them birthright citizenship for some reason. So the assailants, equipped with tactical gear and weapons, attacked a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Prairieland detention facility in Alvarado, Texas. Somehow this is near Fort Worth, apparently. And I used to live in Fort Worth. They shot a local law enforcement officer in the process. The officer is expected to recover. They shut the windows out of the building. So here's acting ICE Director Todd Lyons in response to Karen Bass and her ilk. And what's her name? We'll go to the representative. Priyala? Priyala. We'll get to her. He said, This escalation of violence is incomprehensible, and those responsible will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. Director Tom Lyons. This is precisely what we have been warning against as disinformation and dangerous politically motivated rhetoric, which I just read, spreads. We are thankful to Alvarado Police Department responding officers and that the officer injured has been discharged from the hospital. We will continue to work with the FBI and Texas Rangers as they investigate and prosecute those involved. Now, this is Texas. In California, Karen Bass and Governor Newsom are advising their police not to cooperate not to cooperate with ICE. So this attack, which occurred just days before an armed activist shot a U.S. Border Patrol officer in McAllen, Texas, was coordinated to vandalize the facility and disrupt operations there. The FBI has arrested 10 of the 11 suspects, and the Johnson County Sheriff has confirmed that each now... These are not just people with masks and the baklava... balaclava, whatever they put those, the headgear that they can't be recognized, with fireworks and black uniforms. These are dopey kids from colleges. When I was in college, they were the SDS, Students for a Democratic Society. All kinds of radical people had no idea how to effect change. Just get out there in the streets and throw stuff at the sheriffs. So the final suspect is still at large in Texas. This is... Josh Johnson. I am relieved to hear that the officer who was shot is expected to recover from the injuries sustained. He is in charge of ICE enforcement and removal operations in Dallas. How is Dallas different from California? We can see that they're cooperating down there. So the Department of Homeland Security has vowed to pursue criminal charges for anyone obstructing ICE operations or assaulting federal law enforcement officers. These people are assaulting and shooting at ICE and FBI officers. Now, I went to the ICE website, the GOV, yeah, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security website. So not only the news from the 10 dopes that shut up McAllen, this is Alvarado, and McAllen, not only those dopes and all the dopes that are out there on the streets in L.A., but listen to some of the news that we see from the ICE operation, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Serves as the leader? Well, he's the temporary leader. Enforcement group. Okay. So, an Ohio man gets multiple life sentences for murdering three victims. This is what ICE is up to. Murdering three victims, directing others to dismember and bury two of the bodies following ICE criminal investigations. Following a three-week trial in December... This is December this year. A jury found Larry J. Williams, also known as J. Streets and J., guilty of all 16 counts charged against him in his second superseding indictment in 2021. So it's not just illegals, illegal invaders, but people who are doing crazy illegal things on a national level. Acting ICE reality responds to Pramila Jayapal, this is it, calling U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement a terrorist force. They're talking about This lit up language, this incendiary language that's getting these dopes out into the streets, putting on these uniforms and shooting at police. That's what she's talking about. She says this is a terrorist force. So the FBI is looking into her too. Here's a guy, beautiful looking guy. Ice Buffalo investigation leads to arrest of Jamestown man charged with a threatening to kill a Homeland Security agent. Yeah, good. Investigation of Buffalo. Arrest of 43-year-old Matthew White of Jamestown. Not a young white dope on Hope from Texas A&M. By the way, a couple of those people were local people in Texas. The 10 that were arrested in Alvarado. And one of them was linked to Texas A&M University. So I wonder what kind of anti-ICE group they have at Texas A&M University. They snip off the uniforms at night and put the black uniforms on and go shoot at ICE officers? All right, so this is Threatening to Kill ICE Personnel. San Antonio man sentenced to 10 years of federal prison transporting 25 illegal aliens inside a tanker. Okay, that's Richard Rendikis, 44, was sentenced to July 2nd. But he's a coyote, American coyote. Sentenced to 120 months for his role in smuggling, human smuggling, 25 people. Okay. By the way, statement from acting ICE director Lyons on the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill, which... included a lot of money for supporting ICE building that wall, increasing their support and equipment in the big, beautiful bill. Here's one from Newark. Here's one from Newark. Remember the lady from Newark? Actually, a bunch of them. In fact, the mayor of Newark was arrested at the ICE containment center. So ICE Newark operation makes 18 arrests, takes down Newark open-air drug market, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations, Newark, and multiple federal, state, and local partners made 18 arrests of alleged co-conspirators for roles in a drug trafficking organization on July 1st in Newark. This is right around the corner from where the mayor was arrested. And actually, the one lady is facing charges. Facing charges. This is good stuff, right? This is ICE news. More ICE news from Orlando. ICE law enforcement partners investigation results in life sentences. Life sentences for human smuggling and the coordinating of a deadly trailer conspiracy. Here's another guy, Felipe Orduno Torres. He got life in prison. This was just a couple of months ago. Well, it was July 2nd. He just got the sentence. And Armando Gonzalez Ortega, 83 years in prison and a$250,000 fine. I don't know where they're going to get that money from,$250,000 after they get into jail. Both defendants were found guilty by a federal jury in March for three counts related to the transportation of aliens within the United States, resulting in death, causing serious bodily injury, and placing lives in jeopardy. Apparently, people died in their trailers that they were bringing up. Here's Ice Baltimore. This is a good one. Investigation leads to a decade-long prison sentence for Prince George's County man convicted of drug conspiracy. This is what ICE is doing. There's another one from Buffalo. ICE Buffalo. Must be a lot of stuff going on in Buffalo. ICE Buffalo removes illegal alien child sex predator to Guatemala. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement remove illegally present Guatemala national Alvaro de Jesus Martinez Juarez from the United States to Guatemala. June 28th. Martinez is a felon and predator convicted of acting in a course of sexual conduct against a child. Let's go to Nashville. Yeah, Nashville. Multi-agency investigation leads to arrest of criminal illegal alien wanted for homicide. So this guy's in the country illegally, wanted for homicide, and is still hanging out in Nashville. They got him. Okay, statement from ICE acting director Lyons on news coverage of ICE spotting app. This is a real piss for Graefords. on CNN. They're actually not advertising, but they're just revealing. Revealing anti-ice equipment like this called Ice Spotting App. So this is the director, Todd Lyons, again, he's covering the news on CNN. This is his quote. CNN's promotion of an ice spotting app is reckless and irresponsible, said ice acting director Todd Lyons. These are apps on your phone where you can spot... The ICE address, the address of ICE agents. There's going to be some violence at the homes or nearby of the ICE agents. This is true. All right, one more. Iranian National. Oh, yes, they're following the Iranians. Iranian National and wife federally indicted after wife threatens to shoot ICE officers in Tempe, Tempe, Arizona, as a result of an ICE Arizona investigation. This is the news, baby. This is June 30th. A federal grand jury returned an indictment June 24th against Iranian national Mirazan Azadi Eidevan, 40, of Tampa, Arizona, for alien in possession of a firearm and against his wife, Lynette Vartani. 37, a U.S. citizen from Tampa, Arizona, for threatening to assault a federal officer. You can see these guys are busy. Here's ICE Boston. ICE Boston arrest leads to federal charges for Salvadorian alien illegally residing in Massachusetts. Now, this guy just residing peacefully in Massachusetts. The problem is he was deported before. So when you come back after deportation, you got a problem. you're going to have an issue. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts indicted Jose Leonardo Gutierrez Mendez June 9th on one count of unlawful re-entry of a deported alien. So they go on and on. There's a lot of activity with ISIS, not just in L.A., but this ice spotting is very troubling. CNN's promotion of ice spotting app is reckless and irresponsible. It says advertising an app that basically paints a target on federal law enforcement officers' backs is sickening. My officers and agents are already facing a 500% increase in assaults and going on live television to announce an act that lets anyone zero in on their locations is like inviting violence against them with a national megaphone. CNN is willfully endangering the lives of officers who put their lives on the line every day and enabling dangerous criminal aliens to evade U.S. law. It's simply reckless journalism. Or is it just overt activism? So when we see journalism... And the perversion of journalism. And when I say I excoriate the news, this is part of that excoriation. It's happening on CNN, where they speed up films and make it look like these people are rushing Chinese troops on the border when they're actually marching. They're marching. They're walking through MacArthur Park to make arrests. Well, then they have an app. So these dopes, these white dopes on hope, consider when and find ICE agents' residences. And lastly, we have to talk about more bad hombres. Bad hombres who are allowing these white dopes on hopes to attack immigration officials, ICE, FBI, just because they're predilection. They have a predilection. Maybe the professors in the radical colleges that we're talking about defunding, maybe they're the ones engendering this kind of animosity where you have people armed with guns. They don't know how to shoot them. In fact, one of the people that was attacking the Alvarado ICE officer detention facility had their automatic weapon jammed. They don't know how to use them. But here's from FAIR, the Federation for American Immigration Reform. I get their newsletter every month. The new immigration report. Well, it's not really immigration, but this is about sanctuary jurisdictions. The new FAIR report identifies over 1,000 sanctuary jurisdictions. People, that means all the big cities, all the medium cities. have sanctuary jurisdictions where they do not cooperate with ICE. Not like in Texas or in Florida, but wherever you may be living, grapefruiters, there may be a sanctuary jurisdiction. So a new report by FAIR reveals that as of May 2025, the number of sanctuary jurisdictions in the United States has surged to at least 1,003. So the question is, what is a sanctuary jurisdiction? FAIR says, obstructing laws. So in this report, they go on about how these sanctuary cities are operating and what are the remedies. One of the reasons why the Democrats were so anti-Big Beautiful Bill was about how much money was now going to support ICE. The Big Beautiful Bill has now had billions of dollars for barriers, for much more protection, hiring more officers.$2 billion for retention bonuses, signing incentives for Border Patrol personnel, surveillance technology, and grants for state and local law enforcement to track and monitor threats from unmanned aircraft systems. Threats from drones are coming. This is the enemy, people. This is the enemy. These are bad hombres. These are bad... Hombres, these are bad senoras, bad senoritas. As Trump was saying when they crossed the border, some of these people are very bad. Well, the bad people are increasing. There are many more bad hombres out there. So as a grapefruiter, we expect that you would cooperate with ICE. And if you see something, say something. As a matter of fact, that's what ICE is asking you to do, to get hold of them at US.gov. Their website, a government website, https. So, this is P.
