Illegal Alien Who Snatched Kristi Noem’s Purse Came ‘Within Arm’s Reach’ of Her While Secret Service Stood Guard

/1 Comment/in , /by

The illegal migrant who stole Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s Gucci purse got “within an arm’s reach” of the cabinet member — despite a Secret Service detail standing guard, federal documents show.

Mario Bustamante-Leiva, 49, strolled into the Capital Burger in the heart of Washington, DC, on the evening of April 20 and took a seat mere feet from Noem, 53, who was enjoying a family dinner accompanied by her Secret Service detail, according to charging documents from the US Attorney’s Office of DC.

“Bustamante-Leiva entered the business at approximately 7:52 p.m. and sat down within arm’s reach of [Noem],” the documents read. “Bustamante-Leiva sat down in the chair closes to [Noem] and pushed the chair back from his table in the direction of [Noem].”

Restaurant security footage in the documents shows the suspect sitting at a large empty table in the well-lit dining room with his back to Noem before he used his leg to snake her cash-filled bag close enough to snatch.

That means Bustamante-Leiva — an illegal migrant, homeless alcoholic and serial criminal with a laundry list of crimes going back years — was able to get within grabbing distance of the woman who has become the face of President Trump’s campaign to purge the country of violent illegal migrant gangs.

So, This Is What Ryan Routh Was Planning to Do After Assassinating Trump

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Ryan Routh, the second person suspected of trying to assassinate President Donald Trump, reportedly sought to use a human smuggler in Mexico to help him flee the country.

Headline USA’s Ken Silva reported on Tuesday that the Justice Department released a text message exchange between Routh and a man called “Ramiro.” One of the conversations involved Routh trying to get Ramiro to help an Afghan family seek asylum in the United States under former President Joe Biden.

The Justice Department has released text messages between Ryan Routh and an alleged human trafficker in Mexico about smuggling Afghans into the U.S. last year—arguing that such evidence should be presented to a jury as part of Routh’s larger plans to assassinate Donald Trump last September.

The DOJ included the text messages in a Monday court filing, responding to Routh’s motion to suppress evidence of his human smuggling activities. According to Routh’s attorneys, Routh’s discussions with a Mexican smuggler identified as “Ramiro” have nothing to do with the DOJ’s case against him. Those discussions occurred in February 2024, about seven months before his alleged attempt on Trump.

The DOJ said on Monday that the February 2024 text messages would provide crucial context for a jury about how Routh planned to flee the country if his attempt on Trump were successful.

“The February chats show that Routh intentionally sought out a professional smuggler who specialized in clandestine migrant crossings as part of his plan to flee the United States post-assassination,” DOJ lawyers argued. “The point here is that Ramiro is the human smuggler, and that Routh appealed to Ramiro in hatching his (Routh’s) escape plan. The February and September communications should, therefore, be admitted in their entirety as direct evidence of the Defendant’s guilt.”

Trump’s Push to Restore American ‘Heroes’ Gets $30 Million Boost

/2 Comments/in , /by

Buried beneath his fights to tame the federal bureaucracy, deport illegal immigrants and rewrite environmental policy is President Trump’s quiet pursuit of a longtime passion: reviving traditional views of American history and its heroes.

Executive orders have sent officials scrambling to restore monuments torn down by Black Lives Matter protests, to create a sculpture garden celebrating “American heroes” and to revive the classical architecture of federal buildings.

All are issues Mr. Trump championed in his first term, but it was too late to make much of a difference.

He is hitting them early this time, and for good reason.

Mr. Trump wants the statue garden ready for next year’s 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts have announced a $30 million contest to pay for statues to populate the garden.

The president said he wants 250 statues and mandated dozens of specific names, including Neil Armstrong, Julia Child, Muhammad Ali, Dolly Madison, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Ronald Reagan. (Read more from “Trump’s Push to Restore American ‘Heroes’ Gets $30 Million Boost” HERE)

Former Wisconsin Prosecutor: The FBI’s Arrest of That Judge Looks Legit, No One Is Above the Law

/0 Comments/in , /by

In case you missed it on Friday, FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrest of a Milwaukee judge, alleging that she obstructed justice. He posted on Twitter/X that Bureau agents had arrested Judge Hannah Dugan on obstruction charges “after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week.” Then came the broad-strokes details: “We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest. Thankfully, our agents chased down the perp on foot and he’s been in custody since, but the Judge’s obstruction created increased danger to the public.” This development triggered apoplectic hysteria from the usual ‘resistance’ precincts and figures, with leftists rushing to defend the arrested judge and painting the Trump administration as dangerously authoritarian.

If the FBI were arresting judges over adverse rulings, the critics would have a point. But because the FBI appears to have arrested this judge because of her crimes, it would seem that the “Rule of Law” crowd — who chanted ‘no one is above the law’ in unison for years about Donald Trump — has found another asterisk to their “principles.” It’s the Rules of Law theory in action, again. One set of rules for the Left’s enemies, and another set of rules for the Left. Based on the actual law, however, and what’s alleged by authorities, several legal experts are saying the arrest looks righteous — and the judge’s lawless actions, if proven, are absolutely illegal. Here is a former Wisconsin prosecutor (now an attorney with the Wisconsin Institution for Law and Liberty) methodically laying out the facts. After noting that the illegal immigrant in question was in court over a violent attack on two people, Dan Lennington offered his analysis, citing court documents:

Lawless Governor Issues Guidelines to Shield Illegal Aliens From ICE Agents

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrats chose a hill to die on—they will defend the last violent, human-trafficking Central American gangbanger escape from ICE no matter what the cost.

According to documents leaked by conservative radio host Dan O’Donnell, a Department of Administration (DOA) memo dated April 18 lays out explicit steps for Wisconsin state workers to follow when ICE agents arrive at government buildings.

Instead of cooperating with federal immigration enforcement, employees are being told to stonewall — refuse to answer questions, deny access to files, and even demand agents leave if no attorney is available.

The outrageous memo directs state employees to treat federal agents like unwanted intruders rather than trusted law enforcement partners. . .

In short, employees are ordered to stall, obstruct, and protect illegal aliens — even if those aliens are dangerous criminals wanted by the federal government. (Read more from “Lawless Governor Issues Guidelines to Shield Illegal Aliens From ICE Agents” HERE)

FBI Arrests Judge, Alleging She Interfered in Immigration Operation

/0 Comments/in , /by

The FBI arrested a county judge in Milwaukee on Friday, alleging that she obstructed federal authorities who were seeking to detain an [illegal aliens] by escorting the man and his defense attorney though a nonpublic jury door.

The arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan marks a significant escalation in the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration, in line with its rhetoric about going after local and state authorities on immigration-related matters. It also marks another step in the Trump administration’s battles with judges over federal policy.

In an appearance on Fox News on Friday, Attorney General Pam Bondi used the arrest to pull in the administration’s broader, repeated criticism of judges. “What’s happening to our judiciary is beyond me,” Bondi said, before using the term “deranged.”

Dugan faces charges of obstructing or impeding a proceeding before a department or agency of the United States, as well as a charge of concealing an individual to prevent his discovery and arrest.

A statement issued on Dugan’s behalf indicated she had hired former U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic to represent her in the case. “Judge Dugan will defend herself vigorously, and looks forward to being exonerated,” the statement said.

Former Judge, Wife Arrested for Allegedly Harboring Illegal Tren de Aragua Member in Their Home

A recently resigned New Mexico judge and his wife were arrested in a federal raid on their family home Thursday, after it was revealed they harbored an accused member of Tren de Aragua, according to a report.

Former Democratic Doña Ana County Magistrate Judge Jose “Joel” Cano and his wife, Nancy Cano, each face two charges of evidence tampering for allegedly harboring Cristhian Ortega-Lopez — an accused illegal migrant who federal officials say is a member of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, Fox News reported.

“Under President Trump, we have arrested over 150,000 aliens — including more than 600 members of the vicious Tren de Aragua gang,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told the outlet.

On Feb. 28, Ortega-Lopez, 23, was apprehended during an ICE raid at the judge’s tony Las Cruces, NM, residence where the suspected gangbanger lived in a guesthouse after first ingratiating himself as a handyman, Fox News reported citing court documents.

Earlier this week, the Supreme Court of New Mexico permanently banned Cano from serving on the bench due to the February arrest of Ortega-Lopez. The judge had resigned from the bench in March.

FBI Bombshell: Venezuelan Officials Are Using Gangbangers as ‘Soldiers’ Inside US

/0 Comments/in , /by

Somehow, in today’s upside-down world, the radicalized left has decided that violent gang members are the new underdogs they need to defend. Instead of standing up for law-abiding American citizens, they’ve gone all-in on protecting the worst of the worst—drug traffickers, sex offenders, murderers, and now, even foreign-backed gangbangers. And while they’re busy shedding tears for MS-13 and waving in cartel thugs at the border, everyday Americans are being thrown to the wolves.

But now we’ve reached a whole new level of disturbing. A new report from Fox News has dropped—and every single American should be talking about it. This isn’t a border security issue anymore. This is now a national security issue that involves deeply dangerous and deadly foreign interference. And at the center of it is Venezuela’s evil dictator Nicolás Maduro and the violent criminal gang known as Tren de Aragua.

According to Fox’s exclusive report, the FBI has uncovered a plot that includes Venezuelan officials helping gang members sneak into the US—and not just to commit random crimes, but to carry out Maduro’s sinister agenda. According to the report, these gangbangers are being used like pawns in a proxy war and were sent here to intimidate and possibly kill critics of the regime right here on US soil.

And what did the Biden regime do about it while they were in power? Nothing. Or maybe worse than nothing. They opened the floodgates at the southern border and rolled out the red carpet for these violent thugs. No vetting, no questions—just a welcome mat and a pat on the back as these gangbangers illegally flooded in.

Whether they were complicit or just blindly obsessed with social justice, the result is the same: Biden and the Dems helped Maduro destabilize the United States—and now President Trump is left to clean up the mess.

Illegal Alien Charged in Maryland Girlfriend’s Murder, Uncle Charged as Accessory

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers arrested a Guatemalan illegal alien after he allegedly murdered his Guatemalan girlfriend in Maryland. Officers also arrested the man’s uncle as an alleged accessory to murder after the fact.

Police officials in Charles County, Maryland, allege that Keycy Robinson Alexis Barrera-Rosa, 23, murdered his girlfriend, Guatemalan migrant Lesbia Mileth Ramirez Guerra, and buried her body in the Cedarville State Forest on April 17, the New York Post reported. Barrera-Rosa’s uncle, Rolvin Eduardo Barrera-Barrera, 37, also an illegal alien from Guatemala, allegedly helped bury the girl’s body.

ERO officers eventually arrested Barrera-Rosa and are holding him at the ICE Farmville Detention Center in Farmville, Virginia, according to ICE officials.

ICE officials say Barrera-Barrera and Barrera-Rosa entered the U.S. illegally near El Paso, Texas, on April 10, 2019. The two Guatemalan men were released with a Notice to Appear before a DOJ immigration judge. Barrera-Rosa reported Ramirez missing to the Charles County Sheriff’s Office in March, officials stated.

Senator Confirms Taxpayers Funded His Meeting With Alleged MS-13 Gangbanger

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Democratic Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen confirmed Sunday that his trip to El Salvador to try to secure the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a deported illegal immigrant with alleged ties to MS-13, was funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars.

Van Hollen made the admission during an interview on Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream.

When pressed by Bream about who paid for the trip, Van Hollen said it was an “officially cleared, you know, congressional trip.”

“So taxpayer dollars?” Bream questioned.

“Yes, like every other trip,” Van Hollen replied.
