Chinese Illegal Alien Admits To Buying Gun Store So He Could Ship Weapons To North Korea

Officials said Monday that a Chinese national and alleged illegal alien in California purchased a Texas gun store in a plot to ship firearms to North Korea.

Forty-two-years-old Shenghua Wen resided in Ontario, California, and was taken into custody in December 2024, the U.S. Attorney’s Office (USAO) for the Central District of California stated in a press release.

Wen pleaded guilty to “illegally exporting firearms, ammunition and other military items to North Korea by concealing them inside shipping containers,” according to the USAO. He admitted to one count of conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and one count of acting as an illegal agent of a foreign government, the press release said.

Wen is a citizen of the People’s Republic of China and entered the U.S. in 2012 on a student visa, the USAO said. However, he allegedly stayed in the U.S. illegally after his visa expired in December of 2013, according to a plea agreement obtained by the USAO.

Wen was accused of meeting with North Korean officials before entering the U.S. at a North Korean Embassy in China, and these government officials directed Wen to obtain goods on behalf of North Korea, per the press release.

DOJ Employee Charged With Capital Murder After Spiking Pregnant Girlfriend’s Coffee With Abortion Pills: Sheriff

A United States Department of Justice employee secretly spiked his pregnant girlfriend’s drink with an abortion drug to induce a miscarriage without her knowledge, according to cops.

Justin Anthony Banta, 38, who works in the IT department of the DOJ, is charged with capital murder in Parker County, Texas, for allegedly putting “Plan C” abortion drugs in his pregnant girlfriend’s coffee, the sheriff’s office said in a statement.

The couple found out about the pregnancy in September 2024, with the unidentified woman refusing the DOJ employee’s offer to terminate the pregnancy with “Plan C” pills he would purchase online, the statement said.

Banta’s girlfriend was happily six-weeks pregnant when she had a sonogram on October 17 that revealed a strong heartbeat and good vital signs, the Parker County Sheriff’s Office revealed.

Later that same day she met the IT specialist at a coffee shop — quickly suspecting that Banta had spiked her drink with the “Plan C” abortion-inducing pills without her consent.

Authorities Believe They Spotted Ex-Soldier Travis Decker, Who Is Wanted in Deaths of 3 Daughters

Authorities say they believe they spotted Travis Decker, an ex-soldier wanted in the deaths of his three daughters, near a remote alpine lake in Washington state, after receiving a tip from hikers who said they saw a lone person who appeared to be ill-prepared for the conditions.

The Chelan County Sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post Tuesday that tracking teams responded immediately, and a helicopter crew spotted a hiker near Colchuk Lake, in a popular Cascade Range backpacking area called The Enchantments.

The off-trail hiker ran from sight as the helicopter passed, the sheriff’s office said. Teams later found a trail, and K-9 teams tracked the person to the area of the Ingalls Creek Trailhead, south of Leavenworth.

Authorities did not say when they spotted the subject, but late Monday night they issued an alert for residents in the Ingalls Creek and the Valleyhi community to lock homes and vehicles and to be on the lookout for Decker.

Decker, 32, has been the target of a large manhunt ever since June 2, when a sheriff’s deputy found his truck and the bodies of his three daughters — 9-year-old Paityn Decker, 8-year-old Evelyn Decker and 5-year-old Olivia Decker — at a campground outside Leavenworth.

ICE Arrests in LA Include Illegal Aliens Convicted of Murder; Sex Offenders; Other Violent Criminals

By Breitbart. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests of illegal immigrants as part of the operation in Los Angeles include individuals with heavy criminal histories, which include murder and sexual assault.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) highlighted the reality of the criminal illegal aliens they are going after in Los Angeles while Mexican flag riots break out in protest of ICE’s actions.

Describing these as some of the “worst” criminals they went after, the Department of Homeland Security provided pictures and a description for some of the illegals arrested in their operations.

One of those individuals is an illegal alien named Lionel Sanchez-Laguna, hailing from Mexico. According to DHS, his lengthy criminal history includes “discharging a firearm at an inhabited dwelling and vehicle in Orange, CA with a sentence of 365 days in jail, battery on spouse or cohabitant in Orange, CA with a sentence of four years of probation, willful cruelty to child in Orange, CA with a sentence of four years of probation, driving under the influence in Orange, CA with a sentence of ten days in jail, assault with semi-automatic firearm in Orange, CA with a sentence of three years in prison, and personal use of a firearm in Orange, CA with a sentence of three years in prison.”

Armando Ordaz is another illegal immigrant, 44, arrested from Mexico. His criminal history includes sexual battery in Los Angeles — where the rioters are protesting such arrests — as well as petty theft and receiving known or stolen property.

Watch As LA Rioter Is Introduced To Pavement By Homeland Security

By Daily Caller. Fox News showed Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) personnel taking down a rioter in Los Angeles Monday night as riots continued in the wake of a raid by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

President Donald Trump ordered the National Guard to deploy Saturday as riots continued in Los Angeles following a raid by ICE at a Los Angeles-area Home Depot. Fox News reporter Bill Melugin provided commentary as the takedown aired live on a special edition of “Fox News at Night.”

“It appears to be California National Guard. Ooh, they are taking somebody down right now. I don’t know who those guys are, what they did. Is that California National? If it says ERO on their back, that would be ICE. That stands for Enforcement and Removal Operation,” Melugin told “Fox News at Night” host Trace Gallagher. “I can’t tell. It’s some sort of law enforcement, and they clearly did not like what the guy in the yellow was doing right there because they ran right at him, and they took him down. So we will ask, and we will see if we can find out what that guy did. It looks like he was loitering near a vehicle.”

Trump Reveals the Major Holdup in Iran Nuclear Deal

President Trump disclosed Monday that Iran is pushing hard for the right to continue enriching uranium in any new nuclear deal — which the US “can’t have.”

“They’re just asking for things that you can’t do,” Trump, 78, told reporters at the White House.

“They don’t want to give up what they have to give up. You know what that is? They seek enrichment. We can’t have enrichment. We want just the opposite. And so far, they’re not there.”

The president said US officials would meet again with their Iranian counterparts later this week — but indicated that an agreement was not close.

“I hate to say that, because the alternative is a very, very dire one, but they’re not there,” he said. “They have given us their thoughts on the deal, and I said, you know, it’s just not acceptable.”

Trump has expressed hope that Washington and Tehran can reach a new agreement to replace the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA), from which the 45th president removed the US in 2018. (Read more from “Trump Reveals the Major Holdup in Iran Nuclear Deal” HERE)

Elon Musk Flexes SpaceX Advantage in Feud With Trump: ‘We Have Got the Spaceships and They Do Not’ — Gets Support From This Republican

SpaceX and Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk flexed the company’s rockets amid a war of words with President Donald Trump on Sunday.

What Happened: On Sunday, Musk took to X, formerly Twitter and said, “Whatever happens, we have got the spaceships, and they do not.”

Notably, Musk’s comments came after the tech mogul conducted a poll on X, where he asked his over 220 million followers about forming a new political party in the U.S. An overwhelming 80.4% responded in favor.

Responding to Musk’s post, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) replied, “I don’t know if I’m part of ‘we’ but I would like to formally disassociate myself from the group herein referred to as ‘they.'”

Musk quickly said, “You’re definitely not ‘they’ and are welcome to be part of ‘we’,” to which Massie responded with, “Count me in.”

Gavin Newsom: California Suing Trump for ‘Illegal’ Deployment of National Guard

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced his plans to sue the Trump administration for “illegally act[ing] to federalize the National Guard” to contain the Los Angeles anti-deportation riots, accusing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of being “in over his head.”

When asked by left-wing YouTuber Brian Taylor Cohen if he has any “confidence” that Hegseth will be as “principled” as former Defense Secretary Mark Esper was on Monday, Newsom coldly responded, “Pete Hegseth is a joke. He’s a joke. Everybody knows it, so in over his head. What an embarrassment.” . . .

He went on to say that Trump’s deployment of the National Guard, prompted by the ongoing violent protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials that sparked last week, “is a preview of things to come” to other cities.

“This is not about LA, per se. This is about us today, it’s about you and everyone watching tomorrow,” Newsom argued. “I promise you. I mean, this guy is unhinged. Donald Trump is unhinged right now.” . . .

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed Saturday that President Donald Trump had signed a Presidential Memorandum that deployed 2,000 National Guardsmen “to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester”:

RFK Jr. Guts CDC Vaccine Panel, ‘Retiring’ All 17 Members

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced on Monday that he’s gutting the panel that advises on vaccination safety and efficacy, arguing that it’s another step toward restoring public trust.

Kennedy, whose department has already made several moves to shake up vaccination research and recommendations, said he’s “retiring” all 17 members of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices, known as ACIP.

“Today, we are taking a bold step in restoring public trust by totally reconstituting the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP),” RFK said in an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal. “We are retiring the 17 current members of the committee, some of whom were last-minute appointees of the Biden administration.”

Kennedy said he had to remove these panel members or the Trump administration wouldn’t be able to appoint a majority of new members until 2028.

RFK Jr. suggested the panel effectively works as a rubber-stamp and is plagued with conflicts of interest. (Read more from “RFK Jr. Guts CDC Vaccine Panel, ‘Retiring’ All 17 Members” HERE)

Rep. Ronny Jackson Accuses Biden Doctor Kevin O’Connor Of Sexual Misconduct

Former White House physician and Republican Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson told the Daily Caller during an interview Monday that Dr. Kevin O’Connor, President Biden’s former physician, engaged in inappropriate sexual misconduct while working at the White House.

Jackson said that during his time as Director of the White House Medical Unit (WHMU), he was responsible for signing O’Connor’s evaluations and fitness reports. During the interview, he said he thought about getting rid of O’Connor for a “variety of reasons” before accusing Biden’s doctor of inappropriate sexual behavior.

“One was because of some very inappropriate behavior on his part,” Jackson stated.

Jackson said O’Connor would take other people’s phones and put them down his pants near his groin as a prank, as well as make sexually inappropriate comments that upset female coworkers. Jackson did not provide specific places or dates where the conduct allegedly occurred. He also did not identify the women who were allegedly subjected to the behavior.

“I didn’t get rid of him because I knew it would be an exercise in futility,” Jackson explained. “Because if I had gotten rid of him, it was made very clear to me that I would be immediately getting a phone call from President Obama telling me, ‘What are you doing? Joe Biden’s upset. You need to hire this guy back or you need to stop this. You can’t get rid of this guy.’”

Stunning New Details Emerge on How Elon Musk Got His Black Eye

A new report provides stunning details on how Elon Musk received his black eye, which was noticeable to the public last week. . .

Asked about his visible black eye at the White House, Elon Musk claimed his five-year-old son punched him in the face while they were horsing around:

But according to a shocking new report from The Washington Post, the black eye may have occurred during a physical altercation with the United States Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent.

The Washington Post claimed that Musk and Bessent argued about who they wanted as the acting IRS commissioner. This led to a heated argument outside the Oval Office that turned physical, with former Trump advisor Steve Bannon detailing the ordeal:

“After Bessent and Musk exited the Oval Office and began walking down the hallway, the two men started to exchange insults, Bannon said he was told, adding that Bessent brought up Musk’s claims that he would uncover more than $1 trillion in wasteful and fraudulent government spending, which Musk had not succeeded at doing.

“Scott said, ‘You’re a fraud. You’re a total fraud,’” Bannon said in an interview.

Musk then rammed his shoulder into Bessent’s rib cage “like a rugby player,” Bannon said, and Bessent hit him back. Multiple people stepped in to break up the scrum as the two men reached the national security adviser’s office, and Musk was shuffled out of the West Wing.”
