On October 23, 1983, 241 American service members 220 Marines, 18 sailors, and 3 soldiers were murdered in a devastating suicide truck bombing in Beirut, Lebanon.
Behind every name is a story that should have lived on. They were sons, fathers, brothers, and friends who went abroad carrying the American flag and the promise of peace. Instead, they were targeted and slaughtered in an act of state-sponsored terror. While Hezbollah executed the attack on the ground, the ultimate responsibility lies directly with the Iranian regime, which created, funded, trained, and ordered the terrorist network to strike American forces.
This was not a random tragedy. An explosive-laden truck breached security and detonated at the U.S. Marine barracks, causing a collapse that marked the deadliest single day for the U.S. Marine Corps since Iwo Jima.
The Beirut bombing was an act of war orchestrated from the Iranian Regime. Hezbollah served as the instrument, but the Iranian regime provided the resources, the capability, and the ideological directive behind the bloodshed. It remains a stark reminder of the deadly threat posed when state sponsors of terrorism are permitted to operate through proxies.
The attack in Beirut changed everything, serving as a timeless warning: weak foreign policy, hesitation, and appeasement cost American lives.
Forty-three years later, their sacrifice demands truth, uncompromising strength, and constant readiness. We must never forget who murdered our service members, the regime in Tehran that funded and directed the attack, and why America must always stand strong against Iran and its terrorist proxies.
Honor the 241. Never forgotten.

Our communities deserve cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. When someone in local custody is subject to immigration enforcement, agencies should have a lawful, reliable way to communicate and coordinate.
Secure America Now supports ending sanctuary restrictions that obstruct that cooperation. Public officials should explain how their policies support public safety and accountability.
Understanding what needs to change starts with understanding how the system works.
Sanctuary policies are state or local measures that limit participation in federal immigration enforcement. They vary by jurisdiction and can address information sharing, release notifications, detention requests, or access to local facilities.
“Sanctuary city” does not describe one uniform policy. Evaluating a jurisdiction requires looking at its actual rules and the cooperation those rules permit or restrict.
That distinction matters. Officials should face scrutiny for specific restrictions and documented decisions. The label alone cannot explain what happened in an individual case.
An ICE detainer is a request to a law enforcement agency concerning someone already in its custody. It can ask the agency to notify ICE before release and maintain custody for up to 48 additional hours so federal immigration officers can assume custody.
A detainer is an administrative request, not a criminal conviction or a judge-issued warrant. Whether a local agency can extend detention also involves applicable law and constitutional requirements.
A workable enforcement policy must address those requirements directly. Agencies need clear procedures, proper documentation, and the legal authority to act.
Release notifications andallow immigration authoritieshorities an opportunity to assume custody when legally authorized. Restrictions on that communication can affect how officers carry out enforcement. ICE describes detainers as a mechanism for arranging that transfer from another agency’s custody.
Our position is straightforward: local officials should support lawful coordination, particularly in cases involving people convicted of serious crimes who are subject to removal.
That requires more than a slogan. Officials should be able to answer basic questions:
The public deserves clear answers.
A specific crime cannot automatically be attributed to sanctuary policies. Establishing that connection requires evidence about the person’s custody history, the requests authorities received, the timing of release, and the policy governing the decision.
An arrest is also not a conviction. A person’s immigration status alone does not establish that they committed a violent crime.
Accountability means identifying what actually failed. When records establish a missed opportunity for lawful enforcement, officials should explain the decision and address the failure.
Victims and their families deserve that seriousness.
Secure America Now urges Congress to pursue enforceable reforms that strengthen immigration enforcement while respecting constitutional requirements.
Those reforms should support timely release notifications, clear procedures for lawful custody transfers, and adequate resources to carry out final removal orders when legally executable.
Congress should also demand transparency. Communities should be able to understand how agencies handle immigration requests, why transfers do not occur, and whether policy restrictions or operational failures contributed.
Federal efforts to require state and local participation face constitutional limits, including restrictions on compelling states to administer federal programs. Effective legislation must account for those limits so reforms can withstand legal scrutiny.
Does a sanctuary policy stop every form of cooperation with ICE?
Not necessarily. Policies differ, and restrictions on civil immigration enforcement do not always prohibit cooperation in criminal investigations. The jurisdiction’s specific rules matter.
Is an ICE detainer a deportation order?
No. A detainer concerns notification and custody. It does not itself constitute a final order of removal.
What does Secure America Now support?
Ending sanctuary restrictions that obstruct lawful ICE cooperation, strengthening immigration enforcement, and holding public officials accountable for documented failures.
Our immigration laws deserve meaningful enforcement. Our communities deserve agencies that can communicate and coordinate lawfully.
Tell Congress to end sanctuary restrictions that obstruct ICE cooperation and put public safety first.

October 7 deserves condemnation. Never celebration.
Hamas murdered civilians and took families hostage. There are no excuses for those crimes. No political slogan justifies them.
The Democratic Socialists of America’s statements, rally promotion, and leadership rhetoric deserve scrutiny. Survivors deserve to be heard, and public figures must answer when their words minimize terrorist violence.
Quick Answer: Why Does DSA’s October 7 Record Deserve Scrutiny?
The documented record includes DSA’s national statement describing the attacks as “not unprovoked,” NYC-DSA’s promotion of an October 8 rally, and national co-chair Megan Romer’s description of October 7 as “largely inevitable.” These statements and decisions should be examined alongside the experiences of Hamas’s victims.
On October 7, 2023, DSA released a statement condemning the killing of civilians while also declaring: “This was not unprovoked.” The statement encouraged supporters to join demonstrations against funding Israel.
That framing deserves scrutiny.
Political arguments about the conflict cannot excuse the deliberate murder and kidnapping of civilians. Condemning civilian deaths must mean holding the perpetrators responsible for choosing to commit them.
Hamas bears responsibility for Hamas’s crimes.
NYC-DSA promoted the October 8, 2023 Times Square rally. It did not organize the event.
On October 10, the chapter apologized for the confusion its promotional post caused and for failing to make its values explicit. The rally had drawn criticism over rhetoric about the attacks.
Promotion matters. Organizations choose which events and messages they put before their audiences.
DSA’s leaders should explain how they evaluate the rhetoric they amplify and where they draw the line against celebrating terrorist violence.
In an interview with The New Yorker’s David Remnick, DSA national co-chair Megan Romer said:
“I think that October 7th was largely inevitable.”
Romer also said she probably would have attended the October 8 rally had she been able. She denied defending harm to civilians or noncombatants.
That denial belongs in the record. So does scrutiny of her argument.
Describing an attack as inevitable risks obscuring the choices of those who planned and carried it out. Hamas chose to murder civilians and take hostages. Its victims deserve an account that preserves that responsibility.
Maya Regev was kidnapped from the Nova music festival on October 7 and held by Hamas for 50 days.
On September 30, 2026, she shared her experience at UT Austin during a separate counter-event organized in response to Hasan Piker’s appearance. Her testimony brought the reality of Hamas captivity directly before students.
Piker’s event, hosted by University Democrats, provides relevant context. Earlier that year, during an April 12 appearance on Pod Save America, he framed a hypothetical choice as a lesser-evil calculation and said:
“I would vote for Hamas over Israel every single time.”
The central issue extends beyond one speaker. Public discussion must never reduce victims’ experiences to an inconvenience for a political argument.
Survivors deserve to be heard. Their suffering must never be minimized.
Hamas is a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization. The State Department designated it in October 1997. American citizens were also among those murdered in the October 7 attacks.
At Secure America Now, we believe America’s security requires a firm rejection of terrorist violence and the rhetoric that makes excuses for it.
Political movements, campus organizations, and influential public figures should face scrutiny when they portray terrorist organizations as acceptable political choices or minimize attacks on civilians.
America must stand with Israel, honor the victims, and reject the glorification of Hamas.
NYC-DSA promoted the rally but did not organize it. The chapter later apologized for confusion caused by its promotional post and for failing to make its values explicit.
The DSA national co-chair described October 7 as “largely inevitable” during her New Yorker interview. She also denied defending harm to civilians. Both statements are relevant when evaluating her argument.
Maya Regev is an October 7 survivor who was kidnapped from the Nova music festival and held by Hamas for 50 days. She later shared her experience with students in Austin.
The event was hosted by University Democrats. Maya Regev spoke at a separate counter-event. These were distinct events organized by different groups.

October 7 was terrorism. Never justified. Never a cause for celebration.
Organizations and public figures must answer for rhetoric that excuses, minimizes, or glorifies terrorist violence.
Honor the victims. Listen to survivors. Reject excuses for Hamas.
