Iran’s Attack on Israel Called ‘Spectacular Failure’

(StraightNews.org) - CIA Director William Burns has described Iran’s attack on Israel as a “spectacular failure.” Speaking at the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas, he said the attack demonstrated Israel’s military strength and its close alliance with the United States and other Western nations. Mr. Burns noted that Iran fired approximately 330 drones and missiles at Israel, with only “four or five” reaching Israeli territory. Even those that landed inflicted minor damage, he added. Iran unleashed the missiles on Israel over the weekend of April 13 in retaliation for an Israeli strike on its consulate in Syria, which killed two senior Iranian commanders....

Counties Sue State Over Sanctuary Policies

(StraightNews.org) - Two Colorado counties have filed a lawsuit against state authorities over their sanctuary policies, which they say have made the Grand Canyon State more dangerous. El Paso and Douglas Counties argue that Colorado House Bills 19-1124 and 23-1100, signed into law by Governor Jared Polis, are illegal and unconstitutional and exacerbate the already overwhelming migrant crisis. The legislation prevents law enforcement officers from arresting illegal immigrants, outlaws the sharing of information about migrants with federal immigration agencies, and prohibits agreements between federal agents and local law enforcement authorities. The lawsuit states that the “nation is facing an immigration crisis,” and cooperation...
