CBC spent months collecting and analyzing clues in social media posts to locate and identify the exact parks and gyms where members of Nationalist-13 (also known as NS13) and Second Sons trained, and confirmed them by visiting locations in person. CBC discovered these groups were often training in gyms or martial arts studios that also cater to children and a diverse clientele.

Today in Labor History July 13, 1863: America's bloodiest riot began when 50,000 mostly Irish working-class men protested the Civil War draft by burning buildings (including an orphan asylum), stores and draft offices in New York City. One of their grievances was that the wealthy could buy their way out of service. The $300 commutation fee would be over $7,000 in today’s dollars and the typical laborer only made a dollar or two per day. The unrest lasted several days and turned into race riots, with many participants blaming blacks for the war. This racist tendency was exacerbated by the participation of nativist gangs, including the Dead Rabbits (from the 5 Points neighborhood of New York), Schuylkill Rangers (from Philadelphia) and the Plug Uglies (from Baltimore). The official death toll was 120. However, some believe that up to 2,000 may have died in the riots.

The riots have been portrayed numerous time in fiction and film, including Martin Scorsese’s “Gangs of New York.” Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich cowrote a novel that also depicts the riots: “Grant Comes East: A Novel of the Civil War “ (2004). The various gangs have also been described in works of nonfiction, like in Herbert Asbury’s gang books: “Gangs of New York,” (1928) “The Barbary Coast: An Informal History of the San Francisco Underworld (1933); and “The French Quarter: An Informal History of the New Orleans Underworld”
(1936).

Norm Ornstein, about Trump's new law: "The Medicaid and SNAP cuts are appropriately getting the most attention. But almost lost has been the dramatic expansion of ICE, dwarfing every other law-enforcement agency combined. I had feared a private Trump vigilante force. This is much worse. An official one."

In a news conference after the arrest, Barnette said she was “extraordinarily proud” of her husband and called the ordeal “shocking and unacceptable”. Masked agents from several federal agencies were seen lining the halls of 26 Federal Plaza on Tuesday morning, including Ice, Enforcement and Removal Operations, the FBI and the treasury department, according to reporters on the scene from the City. Video and news of the arrest made the rounds on social media.

Trump’s Feelings Hurt Signals to QAnon

Heather Cox Richardson 5/26/25 Trump’s Feelings Hurt Signals to QAnon Tonight, after news broke that the judges had ruled his tariffs illegal and after he had reacted angrily to a reporter’s question about the “TACO trade,” a weakened Trump reached out to his alt-right base as he appeared determined to demonstrate dominance. He posted a meme on his social media account showing an image of himself walking toward the viewer on what appears to be a wet, nighttime city street. Pepe the Frog, a symbol of the far right, stands in the background. Above Trump, in all capital letters, are the words: “He’s on a mission from God.” Below his feet, also in all caps, the message continues: “& nothing can stop what is coming.” This is a phrase from the right-wing QAnon conspiracy community and refers to the idea that members of the “Deep State” and its collaborators will soon be arrested.

Trump Double Standard for Gangs, Pardons Murderer

Heather Cox Richardson 5/26/25 Trump Double Standard for Gangs, Pardons Murderer Today the president granted clemency to 25 people, including former Representative Michael Grimm (R-NY) and former Connecticut governor John Rowland, both of whom were convicted of tax fraud. Trump also commuted the six federal life sentences of Chicago gang leader Larry Hoover, 74, who was convicted of murder, extortion, money laundering, and drug related offenses, and from prison ran a notorious drug gang that had about 30,000 members across 31 states and brought in an estimated $100 million a year. Hoover still faces what's left of a 200-year sentence in lllinois for murder. While Trump’s pardons of Republicans convicted of tax crimes seem in keeping with his favoring of the wealthy, Trump’s commutation of the sentence of a gang kingpin seems an odd counterpoint to his administration’s stance on undocumented immigrants. Administration officials insist they must be able to deport migrants they allege are gang members even if they have no criminal histories. They can ignore due process, they claim, because of the dangers those individuals present to the American people. And yet Trump has now commuted the sentence of a gang leader convicted of the very sorts of crimes the administration insists justify denying to undocumented immigrants the rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
