/0 Comments/in , , /by

An 11-year-old Colorado boy allegedly killed his little brother while he took a peaceful nap after school, according to reports and authorities.

Elias Reliford, 5, has been identified by family as the child who was found dead at his home in the cozy Colorado suburb of Centennial on March 10, according to WTSP.

Reliford’s 11-year-old brother has since been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the killing that took place on an ordinary afternoon after the siblings returned home from school, according to their family.

The children’s great-aunt, Dawn Myles, revealed that the older brother had been asked to do chores while Elias napped after school when the disturbing incident unfolded.

“Then that’s when everything happened — during that time that he was asleep,” Myles told the outlet. (Read more from “5-year-old Colorado Boy was Murdered by 11-year-old Brother While He Took a Nap, Family Says” HERE)

High School Shooter ID’d Day After ‘Radicalized’ Teen Gunman Shot 2 Colorado Students

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A teen shooter who wounded two fellow students when he opened fire at a Colorado high school Wednesday was only 16 years old — and “radicalized by an extremist network,” authorities said.

Desmond Holly was identified as the disturbed teen gunman who caused havoc at Evergreen High School, about 30 miles west of Denver, before he turned the gun on himself and later died at the hospital, police said Thursday.

Holly used a revolver to start shooting outside the high school, though some of the shots appeared to reach inside the building, the local sheriff’s office said.

“He was radicalized by some extremist network,” a Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said during a press conference, according to the New York Times. (Read more from “High School Shooter ID’d Day After ‘Radicalized’ Teen Gunman Shot 2 Colorado Students” HERE)

At least four students were injured at Evergreen High School in Evergreen, Colo. on Wednesday afternoon, according to reports.

Three students were in critical condition and being transported to St. Anthony’s Hospital, a hospital spokesperson confirmed to ABC News. A fourth student has also been transported to the hospital, but with an unknown injury, the outlet reported.

Investigators believe that the suspected shooter is among the injured people, ABC News reported. The shooting was first reported at 12:34 p.m. on Wednesday, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Jacki Kelley told 9News.

“I don’t know if our suspect is even old enough to drive,” Kelley said, ABC News reported.

Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said in a statement posted to X Wednesday afternoon that he is “closely monitoring” the situation at Evergreen High School, adding that “we are all praying for the victims and the entire community.” (Read more from “At Least Three People Shot At Colorado High School” HERE)

Transgender Sex Offender Escapes Prosecution After Attempted Kidnapping at Elementary School

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A transgender registered sex offender accused of trying to kidnap an 11-year-old boy from a Colorado schoolyard will avoid prosecution, thanks to a controversial state law that critics say leaves dangerous offenders back on the streets.

Solomon Galligan — who now identifies as “Carmen” — was deemed mentally incompetent after the April 2024 incident at Black Forest Hills Elementary School in Aurora. Prosecutors say Galligan sprinted toward children during recess, grabbed one boy, and lost his grip only after tripping on a white blanket. Chilling surveillance footage reportedly captured the moment students screamed “Stranger danger!” and scattered.

Doctors concluded Galligan could not be “restored” to competency, and under a 2024 amendment to Colorado’s competency law, the judge had no choice but to dismiss the charges. Galligan’s long criminal history includes a 2011 sex offense conviction and repeated run-ins with the law.

“Because the criminal case had to be dismissed, that’s not something we have any control over anymore,” said Ryan Brackley, assistant district attorney for Colorado’s 18th Judicial District. “We find the statute deficient… We want to avoid a revolving door through the criminal and civil justice systems without meaningful, secure mental health treatment.”

Galligan’s attorney criticized Colorado’s handling of mentally ill offenders, calling the system “broken.” Galligan’s sister, Sarah, said her brother has battled schizophrenia and bipolar disorder since age 16, and warned that the community is unsafe with him at large.

Victim Dante White said his son has suffered lasting trauma from the attempted abduction. “My son wouldn’t even go upstairs to brush his teeth unless I was right there with him. That’s not a way to live,” he told The New York Post.

Galligan is currently in a treatment facility, and prosecutors say the only way for release would be if a licensed professional determines Galligan is no longer a danger. Critics argue that Colorado’s mental health system — plagued by a shortage of beds — risks creating more victims.

Aurora Police Association President David Exstrom called the outcome a failure. “My heart breaks for the kids… And to see he wasn’t held accountable — what’s the long-term impact on their trust in police and the judicial system?”

Trump’s ICE Detains 1,355 in ‘Sanctuary State’ Colorado

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration has quadrupled the arrests of migrants in sanctuary state Colorado, data shows.

The Trump administration has focused on several blue states to fulfill the president’s campaign promise of a crackdown on illegal immigration, and in Colorado that has amounted to a 300 percent increase in ICE apprehensions.

Federal data shows that in the latest period ending on June 10, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested 1,355 people. That compares to the 342 who were picked up during the final year of the Biden administration. That is a 300 percent rise. The arrest rate has averaged about nine per day, according to the Denver Post.

Those taken into custody come from Mexico and Central and South America, as well as foreign countries including Afghanistan.

ICE is also ramping up arrests in other sanctuary states. (Read more from “Trump’s ICE Detains 1,355 in ‘Sanctuary State’ Colorado” HERE)

Biden-Appointed Judge Blocks Trump From Deporting Family Of Radical Islamist Terrorist

/0 Comments/in , /by

Colorado Federal Judge Gordon Gallagher, a Biden appointee, issued an order on Wednesday blocking the Trump administration from deporting the family of radical Islamist terrorist Mohamed Soliman, who on Sunday set a dozen Jewish demonstrators on fire.

The two-page order — the latest in the string of judicial lawfare — states that the Trump administration “SHALL NOT REMOVE Hayem El Gamal and her five children from the District of Colorado or the United States unless or until this Court or the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacates this Order.”

The order comes hours after Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that DHS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “have taken the family of suspected Boulder, Colorado terrorist, and illegal alien, Mohamed Soliman, into ICE custody.”

ICE detained Soliman’s wife, Hayam Salah Alsaid Ahmed Elgamal, and his five children and processed them for removal, according to the Department of Homeland Security. All are citizens of Egypt. While Soliman is an illegal alien, the legal status of his family members is unclear.

Soliman set Jewish demonstrators on fire in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday, injuring a dozen, including a Holocaust survivor. The demonstrators were calling for the release of the hostages being held by Hamas. (Read more from “Biden-Appointed Judge Blocks Trump From Deporting Family Of Radical Islamist Terrorist” HERE)

Democrat Invokes ‘Trans Jesus’ After Amending Gender Bill Beyond Recognition in Middle of Night

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Colorado state senator appeared to belittle the faith of critics by referring to “trans Jesus” amid debate on HB 25-1312, after he and his party amended the bill beyond recognition in the wee hours of Monday night, two days before the end of the Colorado legislative session.

HB 25-1312 drew national scrutiny after a Colorado Democrat compared concerned parents to the Ku Klux Klan. The bill originally mandated courts to consider “deadnaming” and “misgendering” as forms of “coercive control” in custody disputes, meaning that parents who dissent from gender identity could lose their children.

Following loud backlash, Senate Democrats substantially altered the measure after it passed the Colorado House of Representatives.

“This email says, basically, ‘I’m accountable to almighty God, because I’m standing up for equality, that my decisions, one day, I will stand before him and be accountable,’” state Sen. Chris Kolker, a Democrat and sponsor of the bill, said on Tuesday.

“Well, this is what I believe: Have you ever seen that movie ‘Talladega Nights’? You see that section where they’re talking around the dinner table, and they’re talking about what their favorite version of Jesus is?” he asked. “Baby Jesus, I love baby Jesus. I love Lynyrd Skynyrd Jesus when angels are behind him and the choir is singing and he’s playing ‘Free Bird.’”

“Well, on my day of judgment, I might be standing in front of trans Jesus, I don’t know,” Kolker quipped.

Colorado Democrats Push Trans Bill That Was Too Radical For California

/0 Comments/in , /by

Colorado’s “Kelly Loving Act” (HB 1312) is truly one of the most radical, extreme, and anti-family bills ever proposed in our nation’s 249-year history. And that might be an understatement.

HB 1312 purports to provide “legal protections for transgender individuals.” In reality, it facilitates the state ripping children away from their parents if they refuse to go along with their child’s desire to “socially” or “medically transition.”

Indeed, HB 1312’s Section 2 prohibits parents from “misgendering” or “deadnaming” their child from the moment they choose to adopt a new identity. The bill likens such horrible practices — such as parents calling their child by the name they lovingly chose for them — to “abuse” equivalent to “threatening, humiliating, or [other] intimidating actions, including assaults or other abuse.”

If parents refuse, Colorado’s courts could step in and remove the child from their parent’s custody.

The legislation’s Sections 8 and 9 also adds “deadnaming” and “misgendering” to the state’s Anti-Discrimination Act, the same law that was used by the radical Colorado Civil Rights Commission to go after Christian cake artist Jack Phillips. Such a provision would censor the speech of businesses and employees across the state, forcing them to utter falsehoods they know to be untrue — or else.

Parents Who Don’t Want Their Children Mutilated Are Under Assault In Colorado

/0 Comments/in , /by

What happens when your ex-wife wants to convince your 12-year-old daughter that she isn’t really a girl? In the state of Colorado, if you don’t “affirm” that made-up gender identity, the state will start to take your child away from you.

That’s what is happening to father Robert Hernandez, whose ex-wife Abigail Sanderson has allegedly been working with a groomer school therapist to pursue the new “non-binary” gender status of their daughter. Sanderson has also been successful at using the Colorado court system and its current laws to begin stripping Hernandez of his rights to be a father to his own daughter.

“I’ve kind of faced the extent of the repercussions here — for me, every other weekend is honestly no different from not having it all,” Hernandez told The Federalist on Friday after Colorado magistrate Nicholas Campbell decided to cut his time with his daughter because he raised questions about the social transition regime Jefferson County Public Schools (Jeffco) and Sanderson have implemented for the pre-teen girl.

As The Federalist has reported, a “social transition” — changing names and pronouns, as well as using facilities like restrooms designated for the opposite sex — is a dangerous gateway toward children eventually taking chemical castration drugs to keep “transitioning,” eventually leading to mutilation surgeries. Schools have become an incubator for this kind of behavior, setting up a transition pipeline with the influence of teachers and counselors.

While Hernandez’s daughter, who currently goes by a different name, told him she would never “hurt herself” in that way, “social transitions,” are powerful tools used to convince children that mutilation will make them feel more comfortable.

‘State-Enabled Kidnapping’: Colorado Democrat Bill Would Give Custody Of Kids To Parents Who Push Trans Mutilation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Far-left members of the Colorado state House advanced a bill on Tuesday evening that would direct courts considering child custody cases to favor parents who push radical gender ideology and penalize parents who do not “affirm” their child’s identification as “transgender.”

The bill, introduced last Friday night, passed out of the Colorado House Judiciary Committee in a 7-4 vote on Tuesday and heads to the floor for a second reading on April 4.

“House Bill 1312 is an egregious step towards solidifying Colorado as a Trans Sanctuary State. This bill requires a court to give priority consideration for custody to the parent that affirms a child’s gender dysphoria,” Republican state Rep. Jarvis Caldwell told The Federalist. “The parent who disagrees and tries to get the child actual help is now guilty of committing child abuse, referred [to] in the bill as ‘coercive control.’ The bill also ignores other state[s’] court rulings if one parent brings a child to Colorado for gender-affirming care; directly violating Article IV, Section 1, known as the Full Faith and Credit Clause, of the U.S. Constitution.”

When courts consider child custody, “a court shall consider deadnaming, misgendering, or threatening to publish material related to an individual’s gender-affirming health-care services as types of coercive control,” the bill states. “Deadnaming” and “misgendering” would officially be considered “discriminatory acts” if the bill passes.

Democrats hold significant majorities in both chambers, and Democrat Gov. Jared Polis has already signed radical transgender bills in the past. (Read more from “‘State-Enabled Kidnapping’: Colorado Democrat Bill Would Give Custody Of Kids To Parents Who Push Trans Mutilation” HERE)
