Trump withdraws Hunter Biden’s Secret Service protection

The fact that 18 agents worked to protect Hunter Biden is described as “ridiculous” by Trump.

Donald Trump has ordered the Secret Service to immediately end taxpayer-funded protection for former President Joe Biden’s scandal-plagued son Hunter and his sister.

Under federal law, former presidents and their spouses are entitled to lifetime protection by the Secret Service – but this privilege does not automatically extend to their adult children.

In a post on his own Truth Social platform, Trump writes that 18 agents have been assigned to watch 55-year-old Hunter and that another 13 have been assigned to protect his 43-year-old sister Ashley Biden.

The President describes the whole thing as “ridiculous” and notes that the bodyguard protection is now withdrawn “effective immediately”. He is also highly critical of the fact that Hunter Biden went on vacation in South Africa with his bodyguard.

We are aware of the President’s decision to terminate protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden. The Secret Service will comply and is actively working with the protective details and the White House to ensure compliance as soon as possible”, the agency wrote in a statement.

Pardoned his son – despite protests

It should also be noted that Hunter Biden was convicted just last year of tax evasion and of hiding his drug addiction when he filled out documents to buy a gun. Trump and Republicans also accused Biden of engaging in influence peddling and corruption on behalf of his father, a charge denied by both his son and his father.

Before he resigned, Joe Biden also issued a sweeping pardon for his son – despite earlier promises not to interfere in his legal problems. He justified this by claiming that the prosecution was politically motivated and that “Hunter was singled out only because he is my son”.

The outgoing president’s actions were condemned by Republicans and some Democrats and Trump has called it “an abuse and miscarriage of justice”.

The Nordic Times has highlighted Hunter Biden’s shady escapades in a number of articles, which can be read here.

Trump plans to prioritize white refugees

The Trump administration is considering a radical transformation of the US refugee program.
2 minute read

The Trump administration is considering sweeping changes to the US refugee system that would give priority to English-speaking, white South Africans and regime-critical Europeans.

According to internal documents obtained by the New York Times, the program would be transformed from primarily accepting refugees from Africa, the Middle East and other parts of the world to focusing more on white refugees.

The proposals were presented to the White House in April and July by officials from the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security. President Trump has previously ordered agencies to investigate whether refugee resettlement serves US interests and paused the entire program on his first day in office.

The proposed changes emphasize whether applicants can adapt to the US, and refugees would be instructed to participate in courses on “American history and values” as well as “respect for cultural norms”.

Trump is recommended to prioritize Europeans who have “targeted for peaceful expression of views online such as opposition to mass migration or support for ‘populist’ political parties”.

Trump has already granted priority status to Afrikaners, the white population group that once ruled South Africa’s apartheid regime. Trump has claimed they face racial persecution, an assertion that South African government officials reject.

Drastic reduction

According to the documents, US refugee resettlement has made the country far too “multicultural”.

“The sharp increase in diversity has reduced the level of social trust essential for the functioning of a democratic polity”, the documents state.

Trump plans to reduce the number of refugees from 125,000 to 7,500 per year. The administration also proposes that hundreds of thousands of people already in the application process should have their applications terminated.

— It should come as no surprise that the State Department is implementing the priorities of the duly elected president of the United States, commented Thomas Pigott, spokesman for the State Department.

Anger over the plans

Reports that the US may focus more on white refugees have been met with anger and outrage from refugee activists and left-liberal figures.

Barbara L. Strack, former chief of the refugee division at US Citizenship and Immigration Services, is among many who are highly critical of the proposals:

— It reflects a preexisting notion among some in the Trump administration as to who are the true Americans, she laments, continuing:

— And they think it’s white people and they think it’s Christians.

Trump’s largest donor refused to answer the question: “Do you love the USA or Israel more?”

During his speech in Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, on Monday, Donald Trump drew attention to his largest financial backer, Israeli-American casino magnate Miriam Adelson – and simultaneously revealed a sensitive question he had asked her.

— Look at her sitting there so innocently,” he said. “I’m going to get her in trouble with this — but I actually asked her once, ‘So Miriam: I know you love Israel. What do you love more, the United States or Israel?’ She refused to answer. That means that might be an issue, I must say, Trump said to muted laughter in the parliament.

Adelson, who was sitting in the gallery, received a standing ovation when Trump praised her support for Israel and noted that she had made “more trips to the White House than anybody else”.

The 80-year-old invested $106 million in her pro-Trump super PAC Preserve America ahead of the 2024 election. Together with her late husband Sheldon, the Adelson family has donated over $600 million to Trump’s three presidential campaigns and other Republican candidates since 2015.

After her husband’s death in 2021, Miriam took over majority control of Las Vegas Sands, which operates major casinos in Singapore and Macau. She also owns one of Israel’s most widely read newspapers, Israel Hayom, and the basketball team Dallas Mavericks. Her fortune is estimated at over $60 billion.

Committed Zionist

Born in Tel Aviv in 1945 to Jewish immigrants from Poland, Adelson trained as a physician before becoming one of the Republican Party’s most important financiers. As a committed Zionist, she has long used her economic influence to shape US policy toward Israel.

The Adelson family was instrumental in getting Trump to move the US embassy to Jerusalem and to recognize Israeli control over the Golan Heights, and Trump awarded Miriam the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018.

Her rhetoric hardened further after the attack on October 7, 2023.

“Foreign fans of Hamas are our enemies, the ideological enablers in the West of those who would go to any length to eradicate us from the Middle East. And, as such, they should be dead to us”, she wrote in her own newspaper.

At a campaign event in September, she urged Jewish voters to support Trump “in gratitude for everything he has done and trust in everything he will yet do”.

Trump signs order to label Antifa a terrorist organization

Antifa is linked to a long series of violent acts in the United States - including deadly ones.
2 minute read

As promised, Donald Trump has signed an order classifying Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. The White House describes the network as “radical Left terrorists that aim to overthrow the government through violence and agitation”.

In a press release, it states that the order is part of the Trump administration’s tougher stance against what it describes as “an epidemic of radical left-wing violence”.

“This is a time that demands fearless and courageous leadership — not moral cowardice, indecision, or the lack of fortitude to call this what it is”, the White House writes in the statement.

As grounds for the decision, the administration presents a comprehensive list of what it describes as Antifa-related violence in recent years.

Trump’s administration highlights several deadly and violent incidents, including shootings against federal officials where an officer was shot in the neck at an ICE facility in Texas in July 2025, as well as the murder of a Trump supporter in Portland in 2020.

Bombings and murders

The administration also points to bomb attacks, such as when an explosive device detonated outside the Alabama Attorney General’s office in 2024, and attacks with Molotov cocktails against police at training facilities.

A recurring example is the occupation of parts of the Capitol Hill area in Seattle in 2020, where activists declared an “autonomous zone” which according to the White House led to several deaths and violent clashes with police. The administration also describes how ICE facilities have repeatedly been attacked, including an attempt in 2019 to ignite a 500-liter propane tank at a facility in Tacoma, Washington.

The White House argues that these events show a pattern of escalating violence aimed at overthrowing the government and attacking the justice system. It also lists other acts of violence linked to the “radical left”, including the assassination attempts against Trump in Pennsylvania and Florida in 2024, to underscore what it sees as a growing threat from the far left.

Difficult to implement

How the terrorist classification will be practically implemented remains unclear, not least since Antifa is a loosely organized network without central organization, making it difficult to define who belongs to the group. The violent network describes itself as anti-fascist and has no formal leadership or membership registry.

The decision will likely also face legal challenges and protests from left-wing groups who argue that such a classification could violate freedom of speech and freedom of association under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Trump promised during the election campaign to take forceful action against what he described as the left-wing violence that has long plagued the country, and today’s order is regarded by his supporters as an important step in that direction.

Trump classifies Antifa as terrorist organization

Trump describes Antifa as a group of criminal and violent left-wing extremists.

President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he will classify the far-left and violence-embracing movement Antifa as a “major terrorist organization”.

In a post on the social media platform Truth Social, Trump described the far-left group as “a sick, dangerous, radical left disaster” and announced that he will “strongly recommend” that those who finance Antifa be thoroughly investigated.

— Antifa is terrible. These aren’t protests, these are crimes that they’re doing. They’re throwing bricks at cars of the ICE and Border Patrol. They’re professional agitators. They should be put in jail. What they’re doing to this country is really subversive, the president told reporters in the Oval Office earlier this week.

The announcement comes in the shadow of the murder of Charlie Kirk, founder of the conservative organization Turning Point USA, which occurred on September 10, and Trump has publicly linked the suspected killer Tyler Robinson to militant far-left extremism.

“Radical left group of lunatics”

According to authorities, shell casings found near the suspected murder weapon were engraved with the texts “Hey fascist! Catch!” and “Bella ciao bella ciao ciao” – the latter phrase comes from an anti-fascist song that was popularized by the Italian resistance during World War II.

— We have a radical left group of lunatics out there, just absolute lunatics, and we’re going to get that problem solved, Trump told reporters before boarding his presidential helicopter.

The president simultaneously emphasized that he wants people to react to Kirk’s death in a non-violent manner, something he stressed that Kirk himself advocated throughout his career.

Violence and threats against dissidents

Antifa, which is an abbreviation for “anti-fascist”, is a decentralized far-left movement that lacks designated leaders, formal membership or a strict organizational structure. The movement claims to combat what they themselves call fascism, white power ideology and right-wing extremism – but has over the years exercised violence against conservatives as well as liberals and immigration critics.

Violence-embracing activists who identify with Antifa – often dressed in black clothing and masks – have also been criticized for spreading political opponents’ personal information online and carrying out or inciting attacks against them.
