<\/a><\/p>\nThom Hartmann: Is Donald Trump Trying to Crown Himself \u201cKing of the World\u201d?<\/a><\/h2>\nThis isn\u2019t merely scandalous or unethical: it\u2019s impeachable on its face and dangerous to the survival of democracy worldwide.<\/p>\n
Donald Trump is trying to use a United Nations resolution to justify making himself King of the World via a new \u201cBoard of Peace\u201d that Trump says \u201cmight\u201d replace the UN, with the ability to pass the title along to his son, Don Jr., if he continues to please his father.<\/p>\n
No, this isn\u2019t an exaggeration.<\/p>\n
It all started when the United Nations Security Council voted to accept Resolution 2803 on 17 November 2025 to make effective the Gaza peace plan agreed to by Israel and Hamas in October 2025.
\n…<\/p>\n
In response to that, Trump had his administration lawyers create an entirely new private, non-governmental \u201ctreaty\u2011based international organization\u201d with its own legal personality, that is not a U.S. government agency, corporation, or standard NGO\/non\u2011profit. This new entity called the \u201cBoard of Peace\u201d would …<\/em>
\n…<\/p>\nThe draft charter Trump has proposed for his Board of Peace doesn\u2019t even mention Gaza, anywhere; as a result, it appears designed to replace the United Nations as a new governing body for the entire world.<\/em>
\n…<\/p>\nTrump\u2019s \u201cBoard of Peace\u201d is a direct threat to American constitutional government because the US itself, under the terms of this charter, becomes subject to Trump\u2019s personal authority. Under the proposed document, the U.S. can be expelled unless it pays a ransom or pleases the chairman.

\u201cInstead,\u201d she said, \u201cthe agent took the child out of the still-running car, led him to the door and directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home, essentially using a 5-year-old as bait.\u201d<\/p>\n
Agents later took the father and child away in a vehicle and sent them to Texas.<\/p>\n
Stenvik said Liam\u2019s family has an \u201cactive asylum case\u201d with no deportation orders.

RNS: Hundreds of clergy descend on Minneapolis and go on lookout for ICE<\/a><\/h2>\nMINNEAPOLIS (RNS) \u2014 Around 200 faith leaders fanned out across the city on Thursday (Jan. 22) to observe and document the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, with some clergy confronting Department of Homeland Security agents, adding a visible religious presence to widespread efforts to counter the president\u2019s mass deportation campaign in the region.<\/p>\n
The faith leaders, who are in Minneapolis as part of a larger convening focused on religious pushback to ICE, deployed to neighborhoods with significant immigrant populations, where DHS agents have been most active during an ongoing campaign known as Operation Metro Surge. The clergy, who hail from a range of traditions and worship communities across the country, sang on the buses as they ventured out into the street. They belted out hymns and songs popular during the Civil Rights Movement, such as \u201cWoke Up This Morning.\u201d
