• Man Charged in Palm Springs Fertility Clinic Bombing—Chemical Supplier Linked to Attack

    Federal authorities have arrested and charged a man accused of supplying the chemicals used in a bomb that detonated at a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California. The attack, which occurred earlier this year, is being investigated as a domestic terror act with possible ideological motivations.

    The suspect did not plant the device—but allegedly provided the materials, knowingly or recklessly aiding in the bombing that endangered staff, patients, and unborn lives.

    What We Know:
    The bombing occurred at a fertility and reproductive health facility, raising questions about motive.

    Prosecutors allege the suspect supplied volatile and regulated chemicals, used in constructing the explosive.

    No fatalities reported—but the blast caused severe damage and widespread fear among clinic staff and patients.

    The investigation is ongoing, with additional suspects or ideological ties not yet ruled out.

    BETTR Breakdown:
    Whether pro-life, pro-choice, or politically neutral—violence has no place in civil discourse.
    We must ask: Was this politically motivated? Religious extremism? Radical environmentalism?
    The media won’t cover motive unless it fits a narrative—but the public deserves transparency.

    BETTR Believes:
    No justification exists for terrorism, especially targeting health services.

    Ideological violence is still violence—no matter the cause.

    Security must increase at ALL healthcare facilities, not just those with political labels.

  • Trump Condemns Colorado 'Terror Attack' at Pro-Israel Rally—Blames Biden Border Policy
    Former President Donald Trump has broken his silence after the brutal firebomb attack at a pro-Israel march in Boulder, Colorado. The suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an illegal Egyptian national, is accused of throwing Molotov cocktails and using a makeshift flamethrower—injuring 12 people, including an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor.

    Trump posted on Truth Social:

    “This terrorist attack in Colorado is horrifying and WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the United States of America. This is what Biden’s ridiculous Open Border Policy brings us. Every Illegal, Anti-American Radical must be deported—fast!”

    Soliman had been planning the attack for over a year, shouting “Free Palestine” while carrying it out. The FBI is investigating it as an ideologically driven hate crime and domestic terror attack.

    Many are now asking:

    Why was Soliman still in the country?

    Why are our borders still wide open to hostile actors?

    And why has the White House remained so quiet?

    Trump’s statement has reignited national debate over immigration failures, antisemitism, and the consequences of the current administration’s policies.

  • Several Injured in Targeted Terror Attack at Jewish Rally in Colorado
    A peaceful pro-Israel rally turned into a nightmare when a man—now identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an illegal immigrant from Egypt—launched a firebomb attack during a public march in Boulder, Colorado, injuring multiple people, including an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor.

    Armed with Molotov cocktails and a homemade flamethrower, the attacker shouted "Free Palestine" while attempting to ignite the crowd.
    The event was organized to show support for Israeli hostages still held in Gaza.
    Soliman is now facing federal hate crime and terrorism charges, with the FBI classifying the attack as ideologically motivated.

    What You Should Know:

    12 injured, several seriously

    Planned attack for over a year

    Suspect was in the U.S. illegally, despite prior red flags

    Trump blamed Biden’s open border policies for enabling this

    The White House remains silent

    This wasn’t random. This was targeted hate.
    The U.S. cannot afford to ignore growing antisemitic violence and border failures.

  • Senator Van Hollen Travels to El Salvador to Advocate for Wrongfully Deported Maryland Resident Kilmar Ábrego García​

    Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) has embarked on a mission to El Salvador to address the case of Kilmar Ábrego García, a Maryland resident who was mistakenly deported and is currently detained in El Salvador's high-security Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT). This action follows the Trump administration's refusal to comply with a U.S. Supreme Court order mandating Ábrego García's return.​

    Background on the Deportation
    Ábrego García, a 29-year-old father of three and a legal U.S. resident, was apprehended by ICE in March 2025, despite a 2019 immigration judge's ruling that protected him from deportation due to credible threats from Salvadoran gangs.​

    The Trump administration has labeled him as a member of MS-13, a claim based on a single informant's testimony, which his attorneys contest.​

    Despite acknowledging the deportation as an "administrative error," the administration has not taken steps to facilitate his return, leading to legal challenges and public outcry.​

    Senator Van Hollen's Advocacy
    Senator Van Hollen has expressed deep concern over the administration's disregard for judicial orders and due process, stating, "If the Trump administration continues to thumb its nose at the federal courts in this case, we're clearly in constitutional crisis territory." ​

    He has requested meetings with Salvadoran officials, including President Nayib Bukele, to discuss Ábrego García's situation and advocate for his release. ​

    Van Hollen emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law and ensuring that U.S. residents are not subjected to unlawful deportations.​

    Legal and Political Implications
    U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis has criticized the administration for its inaction, stating that officials "have done nothing at all" to comply with the Supreme Court's directive. ​

    The case has sparked broader discussions about the administration's immigration policies and the potential erosion of judicial authority.​

    Democratic lawmakers are considering additional measures to hold the administration accountable and prevent similar incidents in the future.​

    Public and International Response
    Human rights organizations have condemned the conditions at CECOT and called for Ábrego García's immediate release.​

    The case has drawn international attention, with critics highlighting the potential violations of international law and human rights standards.​

    Public demonstrations and advocacy efforts are ongoing, emphasizing the need for transparency and justice in immigration enforcement.​

  • Trump Says He Wants To Deport 'Homegrown' Criminals — Even If They're American Citizens
    In a controversial statement drawing legal and ethical backlash, former President Donald Trump has proposed deporting certain violent U.S. citizens to El Salvador, specifically to that country’s Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT). Speaking during a recent conversation with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, Trump said, “We also have homegrown criminals... I’d like to include them in the group of people to get them out of the country.”

    The idea has sparked intense debate, as U.S. law currently does not allow the government to deport its own citizens under normal circumstances. Legal scholars quickly weighed in, calling the plan likely unconstitutional and unenforceable without massive legal reform or Supreme Court intervention.

    Legal Context:
    • The U.S. Constitution protects citizens from deportation
    • Only non-citizens or denaturalized individuals can be lawfully removed
    • Experts call Trump’s comments “dangerous rhetoric” with no current legal basis

    Why It Matters:
    This proposal reopens questions about the limits of executive power, the weaponization of immigration policy, and due process protections for American citizens. Civil rights advocates warn this sets a troubling precedent if normalized in future campaigns.

  • BREAKING: Man Denied Bail After Allegedly Setting Fire to Pennsylvania Governor’s Mansion

    A Pennsylvania judge has denied bail for Cody Balmer, 38, who faces multiple felony charges after allegedly setting fire to Governor Josh Shapiro’s official residence in Harrisburg early Sunday morning. The incident occurred while the governor, his family, and guests were asleep following a Passover celebration. 



    Charges Filed Against Balmer:
    • Attempted Homicide
    • Terrorism
    • Aggravated Arson
    • Burglary
    • Aggravated Assault    

    According to court documents, Balmer scaled a 7-foot security fence, broke a window, and threw Molotov cocktails into the mansion. He later confessed to harboring hatred toward Governor Shapiro and admitted he intended to harm him with a sledgehammer if they had encountered each other.  



    Impact of the Attack:
    • The fire caused significant damage to the mansion, particularly the dining and piano rooms.
    • A closed stairwell door helped prevent the fire from spreading further, allowing the occupants to evacuate safely.
    • Governor Shapiro, his family, and guests, including children and pets, were unharmed.   



    Background on the Suspect:
    • Balmer is a former Army Reserve member with a history of legal issues, including assault and financial troubles.

    Next Steps:

    Balmer is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on April 23, 2025.

  • El Salvador Refuses to Return Wrongly Deported Maryland Man Despite U.S. Supreme Court Order

    In a high-profile immigration dispute, El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele has refused to return Kilmar Abrego García, a Maryland resident mistakenly deported to El Salvador, defying a U.S. Supreme Court directive.

    Abrego García, who had legal protection against deportation due to threats from gangs in El Salvador, was erroneously deported on March 15, 2025, following an administrative error by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Despite a 2019 court ruling barring his removal, he was sent to El Salvador’s high-security Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), where he remains detained without charges.  

    The U.S. Supreme Court ordered the Trump administration to facilitate Abrego García’s return. However, President Bukele labeled him a “terrorist” and dismissed the court’s directive as “preposterous,” asserting he lacks the authority to release him. U.S. officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, have argued that the responsibility now lies with El Salvador, adding complexity to his repatriation.  

    This case has intensified debates over immigration policy and international cooperation, highlighting tensions between judicial mandates and executive actions.

  • BREAKING: Pennsylvania Governor’s Mansion Firebombed in Suspected Terror Attack
    A violent act of arson targeted the Pennsylvania Governor’s Mansion in Harrisburg early Sunday, April 13, 2025. Governor Josh Shapiro, his family, and guests were safely evacuated after state police detected the fire around 2 a.m.

    Authorities have arrested 38-year-old Cody Balmer of Harrisburg, who allegedly scaled a security fence and ignited multiple fires using homemade incendiary devices. Balmer faces serious charges including:

    Attempted Murder

    Aggravated Arson

    Terrorism

    Aggravated Assault

    The attack occurred on the first night of Passover, which Governor Shapiro and his family were actively observing — raising serious concerns over potential hate-based motives.

    Governor Shapiro condemned the act, calling it “a targeted assault on safety, faith, and democracy.” Federal agencies including the FBI and DOJ have joined the investigation.

    The mansion, built in 1968, sustained major damage to its southern ceremonial wing.

    🔥 BREAKING: Pennsylvania Governor’s Mansion Firebombed in Suspected Terror Attack A violent act of arson targeted the Pennsylvania Governor’s Mansion in Harrisburg early Sunday, April 13, 2025. Governor Josh Shapiro, his family, and guests were safely evacuated after state police detected the fire around 2 a.m. Authorities have arrested 38-year-old Cody Balmer of Harrisburg, who allegedly scaled a security fence and ignited multiple fires using homemade incendiary devices. Balmer faces serious charges including: 🚨 Attempted Murder 🚨 Aggravated Arson 🚨 Terrorism 🚨 Aggravated Assault The attack occurred on the first night of Passover, which Governor Shapiro and his family were actively observing — raising serious concerns over potential hate-based motives. Governor Shapiro condemned the act, calling it “a targeted assault on safety, faith, and democracy.” Federal agencies including the FBI and DOJ have joined the investigation. 📍 The mansion, built in 1968, sustained major damage to its southern ceremonial wing. 🧠 Tags: #Pennsylvania #GovernorMansion #JoshShapiro #ArsonAttack #Terrorism #BreakingNews #FBI #DOJ #BETTRNews #HarrisburgFire #HomelandSecurity #PassoverAttack #USPolitics #BETTRSM 🔗 Full Article: https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/13/someone-set-fire-to-pennsylvania-governors-residence-police-say-00288197
