BREAKING — REVEALED: The REAL reason behind ICE’s run of deadly shootings — and it’s WORSE than ANYBODY thought. ICE just quietly confessed something TRULY HORRIFYING: agents were killing people because the White House demanded 2,000 arrests a day, no matter the human cost. After two men — neither of whom was even the target of the operations that killed them — were shot dead by ICE agents within days of each other, the agency has secretly ordered a nationwide freeze on traffic stops. Not publicly. Not with an apology. Just quiet internal guidance, leaked by ICE's own people who are horrified by what's happening. A senior ICE official told PunchUp exactly why agents are killing innocent people: "There is a demand for 2,000 arrests a day. Leaders are being fired for bad numbers." Exhausted, quota-driven agents were forcing dangerous confrontations just to hit Trump's numbers. "I would shut down ops until we got a handle on s--t," the insider said. "Not doing traffic stops. Not blocking the vehicles. If they run. They run. Find them later. Don't force a bad position." That's an ICE insider — not an activist, not a critic — begging the agency to stop because his own colleagues were creating deadly confrontations. The dead: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 52-year-old Mexican homebuilder shot in Houston, whose passengers dispute ICE's claim he "weaponized his vehicle." And Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a 26-year-old Colombian man on his way to work in Biddeford, Maine — a man ICE admits wasn't even who they were looking for. This is Trump's covert mass-arrest blitz in action — the one that swept up over 10,000 people in five days. Numbers over lives. Quotas over safety. And when the bodies started piling up, even Republican Senator Susan Collins had seen enough, personally pushing DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin to halt "all non-urgent vehicle stops." ICE's public response? A shrug: "We are always evaluating our procedures... We will not disclose or discuss law enforcement tactics." Two innocent men are dead. ICE's own agents saw it coming and begged their bosses to stop. Trump's quota system killed them anyway. The real question is: exactly who and how many will be prosecuted once America drives Trump and his goons from office? Because if this kind of behavior doesn’t deserve accountability, we don’t know what does. Please like and share to spread the news.

POCAN: I think the problem is you're talking to rich people. Maybe this will help. Who pays tariffs? LOEFFLER: 80% of tariffs are paid by foreign countries POCAN: Okay. That would be like me saying I have long flowing red hair. It's complete BS. Small businesses pay tariffs.

@RGIII @OuttaPocketRG3 @Gretegiii Point #1 is not true for USWNT. Women's football is bigger here b/c they win. The men don't. Point #2 is the root of it all. Always has been. Point #3 is just garbage. Soccer isn't popular here b/c of capitalism $$$. We have best athletes in top 4 sports so we pay 2 watch em.

Soccer is booming in the United States and World Cup viewership shows there is MASSIVE interest, but it will never be the priority and always play 5th fiddle to the Big 4 sports in America unless Americans fundamentally change their approach to youth sports. American Soccer is behind the rest of the world for 3 reasons: 1. Cultural Sporting DNA In the USA, Soccer competes in a crowded field of Football, Basketball, Baseball and Hockey instead of dominating like abroad. Europe and the rest of the world built soccer through community clubs, local pride and it being their default sport. They are born with a soccer ball on their feet. 2. Pay-to-Play Barrier In the USA most youth are priced out of playing because the cost to be on the team is too expensive. Currently there is a 14% decline in youth soccer participation between ages 6 to 12. Europe and the rest of world’s accessible club model keeps more kids in the game longer. 3. Less participation in the sport An all time high 16.8 million youth played outdoor soccer in the USA in 2025, but per capita the USA is far behind other European countries like Belgium which has a 3x higher rate of participation for its population size. For American soccer to catch up, it has to change its sporting culture focus to development instead of making money and lower the cost barrier for participation through state and government funded clubs over the next 20 years. Development needs to be the priority, not maximizing how much money can be made off the athlete and their parents. Instead of focusing on the old statement of “if our best athletes played”, focus on making the best athletes want to keep playing and the ones who do play the beautiful game better at it. Then and only then can we find our Erling Haaland, Lamine Yamal, Messi, Ronaldo or Jude Bellingham. We have to build the structure for them to develop in. #FIFAWorldCup #FIFAWorldCup2026 #Football #Soccer #RG3 #OuttaPocket #USA

The situation in the US right now

Rachel Maddow’s description of Juan Sebastian Guerrero killed by ICE in Maine is something you need to see. She explains what happened without being graphic, and somehow that makes it even more powerful. Remember Alex, Pretti, and Renée? There have been no prosecutions. Still no justice. We know how this goes. Watch it to the end.

Love her!

🚨🚨🚨 I’ve been filming the rise of MAGA for 10 years. I ask them two things. Why do you love him, and where do you get your news? It’s a feedback loop of disinformation and cognitive dissonance. Is it starting to make sense now?

Nicole Wallace ☠️☠️☠️ "Riddle me this: when Obama ran intelligence, the election was secure and Donald Trump won in 2016. When Biden ran the government and the intelligence, the election was secure and Trump ran in 2024. But when Donald Trump and all of his boobs were running US national security, it got all effed up. Is that the theory?"

“They [the masses] are saying, ‘I'm out on American soccer. I'm out on the USMNT. I will never believe again. I will never have an expectation of this team again.’” 😳 Sebastian Salazar says most casual fans are turned off by USMNT after the Belgian loss. He was talking to Hérculez Gómez for Duel Nats on YouTube, where they both agreed this was a failure and a missed opportunity after 50.1 million Americans watched across FOX, Telemundo, and Peacock. “Whatever international world kind of thinks of American soccer. It might hurt us every four years, but it doesn't really matter,“ Salazar said. “What matters is what the casuals think. It's what that 30 million that tuned in in English language [on FOX] think. We know it is probably 25 to 28 million casuals, people who almost never watch soccer. “And I'm telling you, you know I'm a big sports talk radio guy. And I've been impressed with the television coverage around the U.S. men's national team. “But TV's a little bit different than sports talk radio. You know, sports talk radio is almost 99% NFL. “And it is remarkable to me, before the failure against Belgium, how much they were kind of cutting through. And even since, how much they have cut through. They're still talking about this on sports talk radio. “But Herc, to your point, it's all negative. And what I hear from people who are talking to the masses right now, is basically what you said. “They're saying, ‘I'm out on American soccer. I'm out on the USMNT. I will never believe again. Sure, every four years, I'll pay attention and I'll follow, but I will never have an expectation of this team again.’ “And that, to me, is not just the missed opportunity, but a result of how badly the missed opportunity was missed. “It wasn't a 3-2 against England, almost getting it like Mexico had. It was a disastrous, humiliating, and not just humiliating like, you got played off the pitch. The boys just didn't show up. “And I think Americans, you always say it, they love a winner. But you know what else? They hate a loser. “And the team looked like losers on the day. The program looked like losers. I'll be honest, I kind of felt like a loser! “Somebody who's been championing American soccer for 20, 30 years, telling people that there's been progress and growth. You know what? I felt like a fool! “I felt like a fool. And I still feel like that four or five days after the game.”

beyond parody -- Fox & Friends hosts are trying to get Trump to pay tribute to Lindsey Graham, but they can't get a word in as Trump rants and raves about the SAVE America Act and the purportedly rigged elections in California

Trump on Iran: "Obama was the worst of all because Obama actually went to their side, because, you know, he's a -- well, let's not say. Let's leave that for another time."

Gaines: I haven't yet seen the video Kamala Harris speaking to those players but was there any outrage like there was when Kash Patel was in the men's locker room after winning a gold medal at the olympics? No, I don't think so

🗣️ “It will be the first time Messi has ever played against England.” 🗣️ “England are going to the final.” 🗣️ “England are better than Argentina.” 🗣️ “England has too much pace for Argentina’s strength.” The @RestIsFootball crew ahead of England-Argentina 🎙️👀

A departure from this World Cup that may be overlooked: Granit Xhaka, one of the last remaining members of a Switzerland golden generation that once featured Xherdan Shaqiri, Yann Sommer, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Fabian Schär and more. In his fourth World Cup, Xhaka reached the furthest stage of his career. He’ll be 38 by 2030, so there’s a chance we may have seen him on this stage for the final time. Salute to a Swiss football icon 🫡

No soccer until Tuesday
