Illegal Alien Allegedly Stole U.S. Citizen’s Identity, Committed Voter Fraud

An illegal alien faced voter fraud charges on Monday in federal court, after he allegedly lived in America for years under a citizen’s stolen identity.

Carlos Jose Abreu, a 45-year-old national from the Dominican Republic, faces charges of “impersonating a United States citizen when registering to vote and when voting in a federal election,” according to a Department of Justice press release. He also faces a charge for unlawful possession of a firearm.

“If convicted on the voter fraud and gun charges, Abreu faces up to 15 years in federal prison,” the release reads. “He is also subject to deportation.”

Abreu, of Broward County, Florida, allegedly used the stolen identity of an American to register to vote in September 2020 and to vote in November 2022, the release said. He had “been living in the United States under the assumed identity of the American citizen victim for about 18 years.”

The man has lived in America ever since he first entered illegally close to 20 years ago, according to the release. New Jersey issued an arrest warrant for Abreu in 2007 for charges of kidnapping, criminal restraint, endangering a child, and sexual assault. (According to court records, the latter two charges are still “outstanding,” and the case has been “transferred.”) He then relocated to Florida and allegedly stole an American citizen’s identity and acquired a Florida driver’s license and applied for a passport using the stolen identity, the release said.

Vance Exposes DEI ‘Scandal’ Involving Air Traffic Controllers

Vice President JD Vance offered insight into President Donald Trump‘s comments about how DEI policies were a factor in the deadly mid-air collision between an American Airlines jet and Army Black Hawk Helicopter near Reagan National Airport in the Washington, D.C., area last week.

Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo asked Vance if he had any evidence that any of the employees at the control were “DEI hires” during a “Sunday Morning Futures” interview.

“No, the president’s been very clear about this. This is not saying that the person who was at the controls is a DEI hire,” Vance replied, adding: “Let’s just say, first of all, we should investigate everything. But let’s just say the person at the controls didn’t have enough staffing around him or her because we were turning people away because of DEI reasons. There is a very direct connection between the policies of the last administration and short-staffed air traffic controllers. That has to stop.”

Vance continued his answer by responding to the media coverage of Trump’s remarks in the wake of the tragedy in which 67 people were killed.

“By the way, it’s so funny to me. The media has picked up on this — not you, of course, Maria — but others have picked up on this. The president made very clear that he wasn’t blaming anybody, but he was being very explicit about the fact that DEI policies have led our air traffic controllers to be short-staffed. That is a scandal,” Vance said. “Thankfully, it’s a scandal that the president has stopped.” (Read more from “Vance Exposes DEI ‘Scandal’ Involving Air Traffic Controllers” HERE)

Musk Rips ‘Fraudulent’ Taxpayer Handouts as DOGE Team Uncovers Shady Financial Secrets

Tech billionaire Elon Musk ripped alleged “fraudulent” Treasury payments on Saturday as reports circulated that the Department of Government Efficiency has gained acces to the federal government’s payment system as the second Trump administration continues cutting what they say is government fat and overspending.

“The @DOGE team discovered, among other things, that payment approval officers at Treasury were instructed always to approve payments, even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups. They literally never denied a payment in their entire career. Not even once,” Musk, the chair of DOGE, posted early Saturday morning to X.

Musk’s post came just ahead of the New York Times reporting Saturday afternoon that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent granted DOGE personnel access to the payment system. The Treasury spends roughly $6 trillion per year on payments for federal agencies.

The ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden, posted to social media on Saturday that he has also been informed that DOGE was granted access to the system.

“Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk’s own companies. All of it,” Wyden posted to social media site BlueSky on Saturday evening. (Read more from “Musk Rips ‘Fraudulent’ Taxpayer Handouts as DOGE Team Uncovers Shady Financial Secrets” HERE)

Rubio Says El Salvador Will Take Deportees From U.S. Of Any Nationality

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said late Monday that El Salvador’s president has offered to accept deportees from the U.S. of any nationality, including violent American criminals now imprisoned in the United States.

President Nayib Bukele “has agreed to the most unprecedented, extraordinary, extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world,” Rubio said at a signing ceremony for an unrelated civil nuclear agreement with El Salvador’s foreign minister.

“He’s also offered to do the same for dangerous criminals currently in custody and serving their sentence in the United States even though they’re U.S. citizens or legal residents,” Rubio said. He had just met with Bukele at his lakeside country house outside San Salvador for several hours. (Read more from “Rubio Says El Salvador Will Take Deportees From U.S. Of Any Nationality” HERE)

Two Airport Authority Workers Arrested for Allegedly Leaking DC Plane Crash Video to CNN

Two employees of the authority that manages Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport were arrested over their alleged involvement in leaking surveillance footage of last week’s deadly midair aircraft collision to CNN.

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) staffers are accused of making an unauthorized copy of records and are facing charges of computer trespass, the agency said Monday.

The legal trouble is tied to the chilling video obtained by CNN last week that offered a horrifying new vantage point to crash over the Potomac River, ABC News reported.

The Wednesday night collision between a Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines passenger jet killed all 67 people on both aircrafts.

The exclusive videos gave a closer and clearer look at the air disaster, including one clip in which the chopper is darting from the left side of the screen as the American Airlines flight approached the airport.

97% of Political Contributions From USAID Employees Went to Dems

Political contributions from employees at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) went almost entirely to Democrats, according to a Daily Wire analysis.

In the 2024 election cycle, USAID staff made a total of $406,790 in political contributions, according to data collected on OpenSecrets. More than half of that, $241,079, went to the former Vice President Kamala Harris. Only $999 — a quarter of a percent — went to President Donald Trump.

In all, just over $377,000, or 97%, went to Democrats, while just $12,704 went to Republicans. Open Secrets tracked all political donations of USAID employees to PACs and candidates over $200 via data from the Federal Election Commission.

These numbers highlight the political bias Trump and his team have said they need to root out from USAID. Trump on Monday said that the agency and its $50 billion annual budget were run by “radical left lunatics” who “went crazy during the Biden administration” and were giving money “to people that shouldn’t be getting” it. Elon Musk, who has been tasked with slashing federal waste through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), said the agency was “beyond repair.” (Read more from “97% of Political Contributions From USAID Employees Went to Dems” HERE)

Constitutional Expert: Trump Can Win No Matter How Birthright-Citizenship Fight Goes

President Donald Trump can win a significant victory no matter how the fight that erupted over his executive order over “birthright citizenship” ends up, according to a constitutional expert.

Jonathan Turley, the J.B. and Maurice C. Shapiro professor of public interest law at George Washington University, has not only advised Congress on constitutional matters but has represented members in court cases.

He recently wrote about the dispute over “birthright citizenship” that has erupted since Trump took office and issued a list of orders cracking down on illegal aliens, illegal immigration and more.

He explained, “The Fourteenth Amendment starts and ends as a model of clarity, stating that ‘all persons born or naturalized in the United States’ are ‘citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.’ However, sandwiched between those two phrases, Congress inserted the words ‘and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.’ Those six words have perplexed many since they were first drafted.”

He said the Supreme Court has seemed “conflicted” in its rulings on the issue, some of which date back a century and a half. (Read more from “Constitutional Expert: Trump Can Win No Matter How Birthright-Citizenship Fight Goes” HERE)

It is the Department of Healthcare Services in California that pays for and promotes to children a website called Soluna. . .

It calls itself, “your space to destress, bounce back, and reset. Completely free and confidential for California teens and young adults.”

Whether you’re looking to talk right now or want to schedule ahead, our coaches are here for you. No insurance needed, no session limits, and absolutely free – just open, judgment-free support on your terms.”

It’s Only Been Two Days Since Trump’s China Tariffs Dropped And Beijing Already Wants To Make A Deal

The Chinese government is reportedly preparing to begin trade talks with the U.S. after President Donald Trump slapped China with a 10% tariff, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Beijing is reportedly gearing up to discuss trade relations in an attempt to ward off further tariffs from the U.S., according to the WSJ. The WSJ report comes after Trump announced on Saturday that he is implementing 10% tariffs against China as well as 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada in an attempt to crack down on illegal immigration and the trafficking of illicit drugs such as fentanyl stemming from the countries.

China’s initial trade proposal will be aimed at restoring a trade agreement that the country signed during Trump’s first term in 2020 but did not implement during former President Joe Biden’s term, anonymous sources told the WSJ. Beijing is now preparing to discuss with the Trump-Vance administration areas where China can purchase more from the U.S., the outlet reported.

When announcing the tariffs on Saturday, the White House wrote that there was an “extraordinary threat posed by illegal aliens and drugs, including deadly fentanyl” which “constitutes a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.” The White House stated in the announcement that tariffs are a “powerful, proven source of leverage for protecting the national interest.”

Beijing on Sunday denounced Trump’s tariffs, stating that fentanyl was “America’s problem,” Reuters reported. Notably, deaths in the U.S. involving synthetic opioids other than methadone — primarily illicitly manufactured fentanyl — rose to 73,838 in 2022. The global fentanyl supply chain often starts with chemical companies based in China, and often passes through Mexico and then into the U.S. (Read more from “It’s Only Been Two Days Since Trump’s China Tariffs Dropped And Beijing Already Wants To Make A Deal” HERE)

Trump Team Working On Proposal to Gut Department of Education

President Donald Trump’s team is considering an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, a source familiar with the plan confirmed to the Washington Examiner.

The source said that the executive order could take place in two parts: telling the secretary of education to dismantle the department as much as possible and then calling on Congress to pass a law to abolish the department altogether. They noted that things can change rapidly.

According to people speaking with the Wall Street Journal, Trump’s team is looking to end all functions of the agency that aren’t explicitly written into statute or redelegate the functions to other agencies.

Part of the effort to gut the department is coming from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. The Washington Post reported that about 20 members of DOGE were working directly out of the Department of Education headquarters.

While Trump is unable to unilaterally abolish the department, he does have the power to cut down many of its key functions and redirect it to diminish itself. (Read more from “Trump Team Working On Proposal to Gut Department of Education” HERE)
