Stephen Miller is one of my favorite people in the Trump administration. He commonly uses words like:
-invasion
-rebellion
-insurgency
-insurrection
Miller has been extremely vocal about the President’s emergency powers in times of “invasion or rebellion”.
Miller commonly refers to sanctuary cities as an “insurrection”, and ICE protests an “insurgency.
Miller has even floated arguments for suspending the writ of habeas corpus (just like Lincoln), and ending the rogue judiciary from obstructing the enforcement of federal law.
The use of those words is not an accident. Legally speaking, they are extremely important.

Understand the implications of what happened in Texas last night.
Gina Hinojosa has called on Gov. Abbott to end state & local cooperation with ICE & she can order that on day one.
Hinojosa voted against the 2017 SB 4 as a TX state rep. The bill was essentially a sanctuary cities ban and required TX law enforcement to cooperate with ICE detainers. She then voted against another SB 4 in 2023, which made it a state crime to cross illegally into Texas.
Should there be another border crisis in coming years, there will likely be no resistance from Texas at the border. No Texas DPS, no TX National Guard, no razor wire or water buoys, and no Operation Lone Star, which Hinojosa called a “dog and pony show” and “political theater”.
Remember when 15,000 Haitians surged illegally into Del Rio, TX in 2021 under the international bridge? That was only stopped because Texas DPS responded on Abbott’s orders and physically blocked further crossings by lining up their cruisers to form a wall. The Biden Border Patrol was caught off guard and offered almost no resistance, except for some horseback agents who were falsely slandered for “whipping”.
Additionally, because Republicans failed to pass any legislation codifying President Trump’s border security measures, if Dems take the White House in 2028, that Dem president could, if he/she wants to, reverse every single Trump border security policy immediately upon taking office because they were all done at the executive level, and they can order Border Patrol to go back to a passive catch & release policy like we saw under Biden.

Off the Books Migrant Homicide ... FBI Agent Involved in Fatal Shooting of Wanted Criminal Venezuelan in Pilsen October 26 2026
SubX.News® Crime Report
CHICAGO — Oscar D. Isaya-Corrales, a 27-year-old Venezuelan migrant wanted on an outstanding warrant in a Chicago shoplifting case, was shot multiple times and killed during an encounter involving an FBI agent Monday evening in Pilsen.
A Chicago police report reviewed by the Chicago Sun-Times identifies the incident as an FBI-involved shooting. Responding Chicago officers reportedly arrived to find the 41-year-old federal agent aiming his firearm at Isaya-Corrales, who was lying wounded near a bicycle.
Isaya-Corrales suffered gunshot wounds to both legs, his chest and right flank. He was transported to Stroger Hospital and pronounced dead less than an hour after the reported 5:30 p.m. shooting.
Police reportedly recovered a handgun underneath the bicycle. Publicly released information does not establish whether Isaya-Corrales displayed or fired the weapon, who fired first or what caused the confrontation.
Cook County Medical Examiner records identify the cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds and classify the death as a homicide.
FBI-Involved Shooting in Pilsen
Shooting occurred at approximately 5:30 p.m. October 26 in the 1700 block of S. Union Avenue.
Chicago officers were dispatched to an officer-in-distress call and found the FBI agent standing beside a black Nissan equipped with flashing red and blue emergency lights, according to the police report described by the Sun-Times.
Emergency radio traffic cited by the Sun-Times identified the incident as an FBI-involved shooting and indicated that the federal agent was not injured.
A nearby resident reported hearing one loud bang followed by a barrage of gunfire. He took cover with his family before seeing an officer behind an unmarked vehicle with his firearm drawn.
Resident called 911 after seeing Isaya-Corrales lying unresponsive on the sidewalk.
Medical Examiner Confirms Homicide
Cook County Medical Examiner case ME2026-05735 identifies the victim as Oscar D. Isaya-Corrales, 27.
Medical Examiner records list the incident location as 1750 S. Union Avenue and record his death at 6:18 p.m. October 26, approximately 48 minutes after the reported shooting.
Cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds.
Manner of death was homicide.
A homicide classification establishes that another person caused the death. It does not independently determine whether the shooting was criminally justified or unlawful.
No Public CPD Communication Located
Chicago police documented the fatal encounter internally and responded to the scene. Emergency radio traffic cited by the Sun-Times identified it as an FBI-involved shooting.
SubX.News could locate no public statement, incident notification or other CPD communication acknowledging the fatal shooting through October 27.
CPD publicly reported other shootings from the same period but released no public information located by SubX.News about Isaya-Corrales’ homicide.
Public police communications included a 5:30 p.m. shooting October 26 in the 2000 block of W. 68th Place and a double shooting at approximately 9:45 p.m. inside a business in the first block of E. Adams Street.
No public posting reviewed by SubX.News identified the fatal shooting at 1750 S. Union Avenue, the FBI agent, Isaya-Corrales or the homicide investigation.
CPD has not publicly explained the absence of the case from its public communications.
Internal Review
FBI acknowledged that one of its agents was involved in the shooting and said its Inspection Division had opened an internal review.
“The FBI takes all shooting incidents involving our agents or task force members seriously,” the agency said in a statement.
Agency did not publicly explain why the agent encountered Isaya-Corrales, what occurred before the shooting, whether the recovered handgun was displayed or fired, how many rounds were discharged or whether video captured the encounter.
FBI did not publicly identify the agent.
An agent with the same name listed in the Chicago police report joined the FBI in March 2017, according to federal court records cited by the Sun-Times. Agent previously served in the FBI’s Seattle division on a squad focused on terrorism and crimes against children.
Outstanding Shoplifting Warrant
Chicago Police Department arrest records list the defendant in the May 25 case as Oscar D. Corrales, 27, CB number 30586257.
Security guards allegedly stopped him from stealing five necklaces from Nordstrom at 55 E. Grand Avenue. Merchandise was valued at more than $300.
Sun-Times reporting connected that arrest record to Oscar Isaya-Corrales and reported that officers recovered a Guatemalan passport that did not belong to him.
Police were unable to determine immediately whether the passport had been stolen.
Court records cited by the Sun-Times show a warrant was issued June 1 after Isaya-Corrales failed to appear in the shoplifting case.
Available public information does not establish that the warrant or shoplifting allegation caused the October 26 encounter with the FBI agent.
Isaya-Corrales had also been charged in a separate case involving damage to a woman’s windshield, but that case was dismissed.
Life at Pacific Garden Mission
Police records listed Pacific Garden Mission, 527 W. 14th Place, as a previous address for Isaya-Corrales.
Shelter employees said he stayed there from January through March and returned for several weeks in May.
One employee remembered his bleached hair and described him as “the fun guy around” who did not cause problems.
Another shelter worker recalled that Isaya-Corrales said he had immigrated from Venezuela at least five years earlier and had no family in the Chicago area.
Isaya-Corrales reportedly struggled with drug addiction and sometimes joined people seeking work near a local Home Depot.
Public Record Remains Incomplete
Available records establish that Isaya-Corrales was shot multiple times during an encounter involving an FBI agent.
Chicago officers reportedly arrived to find the federal agent aiming his firearm at the wounded man. A handgun was recovered underneath a nearby bicycle.
Medical Examiner records establish that Isaya-Corrales died from multiple gunshot wounds at 6:18 p.m. and officially classify his death as a homicide.
FBI acknowledges its involvement and says an internal review is underway.
Chicago police documented the shooting internally but issued no public communication located by SubX.News through October 27.
Neither agency has publicly released a complete account of the encounter that ended with the death of Oscar D. Isaya-Corrales.

NEW: Drug cartels are rapidly advancing their drone capabilities — and U.S. officials are now concerned they could be learning from the battlefield.
There are reports cartel affiliates are being sent to the Russia-Ukraine war to gain battlefield experience — potentially bringing those skills back to Mexico.
A @StateDept spokesperson saying, “The Department of State takes seriously reports of transnational criminal organizations’ growing use of drone technology and tracks the issue closely… The Department of State engages U.S. law enforcement and Ukrainian counterparts to adopt measures to mitigate the risk of battlefield skills transfer and apply lessons from Ukrainian counter-UAS experience to counter the cartel drone threat.”
In a statement, @CBP telling @NewsNation, “In fiscal year 2025, CBP detected over 42,000 near-border, unmanned drone flights. This fiscal year, detections have exceeded that number… Cartels use drones to conduct surveillance on U.S. law enforcement, to move illegal narcotics across the border into the United States, and to guide illegal aliens across the border. Inside Mexico, cartels use weaponized drones against rival cartels, law enforcement, and military personnel to evade arrest and capture. They continue to advance their drone technology and tactics, to conceal their movements and operations. President Trump’s executive orders and overall focus on cartels and air dominance has empowered CBP to combat and mitigate cartels’ use of drones. Additional technology resources have benefited border security operations. CBP continues to deploy multi-sensor capabilities on the border to increase detection and mitigation effectiveness.”
