🦅 American News 📰

27 Men Arrested In Sting

• A two-day Lake County sting operation in suburban Chicago led to 27 men being caught after attempting to pay for sex at a local hotel, with undercover officers posing as service providers. This crackdown targeted buyers using online ads, aiming to cut off demand that fuels trafficking, according to Sheriff Idleburg who emphasized that “if there is no buyer, there is no market” in the fight. Minor resistance occurred during arrests, resulting in a few injuries and property damage. Learn more about the human trafficking sting operation.

Autopen Signatures Raise Legal Alarm

• A Missouri pharmacist claims Joe Biden’s executive orders use identical autopen signatures, sparking questions about legitimacy and possibly implicating Jill Biden’s handwriting. He suspects autopen signatures may not be his and argues this could be illegal if someone else signed official docs. Conservatives say this could trigger a “constitutional crisis,” given the sheer volume of orders potentially affected. Legal experts, however, note autopens have been used before—Obama and Bush used them, and past DOJ memos support their validity.

💸 The "Economy" 📉

U.S. Sanctions Sudan Chemical Access

• A fresh round of U.S. restrictions cut off military exports, financial aid, and arms sales to Sudan’s army after Washington accused Khartoum of using chlorine gas in last year’s civil war, even though it allows some humanitarian aid. The sanctions, tied to the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act, will last at least a year but continue vital food and agricultural shipments. Sudan’s government denies any chemical use, calling it “political blackmail,” while U.S. officials say the move is meant to pressure compliance with the Chemical Weapons Convention. Learn more about the impact of these chemical‑weapons sanctions.

U.S. Targets Mexican Banks Illicitly

• Three Mexican financial institutions were hit with sanctions by the U.S. Treasury for allegedly helping cartels launder money tied to fentanyl trafficking, as the crackdown aims to choke off funding flow at its source, with one institution accused of moving tens of millions in illicit funds. The move freezes U.S. assets linked to their operations and bars them from engaging with American businesses, significantly raising risks for banks rumored to handle cartel funds. Critics argue that targeting entire institutions could stray into economic overreach, while officials insist it’s essential to break the financial lifelines of drug networks. The report reveals how Treasury’s cartel-finance strikes are reshaping cross-border sanctions and geopolitical pressures.

 🌎 Geopolitics 🪖

Netanyahu Seeks White House Victory Visit

• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to meet President Trump at the White House in early July to celebrate their joint military action against Iran and reinforce what he sees as a significant triumph, according to insiders. The effort coincides with U.S. efforts to secure a new regional agreement, tying the visit to broader diplomatic goals. Netanyahu may also use the meeting to request additional military aid after intense missile exchanges with Iran during the brief 12-day conflict. The meeting follows reports that Netanyahu wants to visit the White House.

Iran Mourns Dozens In State Funeral

• Iran marked a state funeral in Tehran today for about 60 individuals, including top military commanders and nuclear scientists killed in the recent 12‑day war with Israel, as hundreds of thousands gathered for the mass ceremony. The large turnout featured chants of “Death to America” and anti‑Israel slogans, reflecting deep national anger and solidarity. Senior officials like President Pezeshkian and Quds Force leader Ghaani stood alongside grieving citizens amid public holiday closures. The massive scene of mourning during the huge funeral procession at the heart of Tehran signals Iran’s defiant message toward Washington and Jerusalem in the aftermath of intense strikes.
