For Every Dead Body Found, 5 to 10 More Out There: Texas Sheriff on Illegal Alien Deaths

In Texas, 70 miles north of the U.S.–Mexico border, a rural sheriff’s office spends more than 85 percent of its time on border-related issues.

Often it’s to search for illegal immigrants who have called 911 and are lost, dehydrated, or injured as they walk on private ranchland in an attempt to skirt the nearby highway checkpoint that Border Patrol operates.

Other times it’s to find a dead body.

So far this year, 79 bodies have been recovered within Brooks County’s 944-square miles, Sheriff Benny Martinez told The Epoch Times’ The Nation Speaks.

Last year, the sheriff’s office recovered 119 bodies, which was a record high. In 2020, 34 bodies were recovered. (Read more from “For Every Dead Body Found, 5 to 10 More Out There: Texas Sheriff on Illegal Alien Deaths” HERE)

Judge Tosses Biden Rules Threatening Doctors and Parents Who Oppose Amputating Kids’ Genitals

A federal judge in Texas threw out Biden administration guidelines threatening health care providers and parents with civil rights lawsuits over opposition to transgender surgeries that mutilate children’s sex organs.

In September last year, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of Texas challenging regulations from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) that mandated accommodation for trans-identified employees. Under the EEOC guidance, employers may be sued for discrimination over policies related to dress codes, bathrooms, and pronouns.

But in March, the case was amended to include new rules from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) covering how minors must be accommodated with wrongly named “gender affirming care.” The HHS regulations came in response to Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s February order, which tasked protective services with investigating so-called sex-change procedures on minors as child abuse, and stipulated that opponents to such severe medical intervention could be subject to civil rights lawsuits.

The Biden administration argued the new regulations were justified by the Supreme Court’s 2020 decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, wherein the high court changed the meaning of “sex” in civil rights protections to include sexual orientation and gender identity. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority 6-3 opinion, which declared that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 made it illegal to fire an employee for being gay or transgender. Writing in dissent, Justice Samuel Alito warned the majority ruling in Bostock would creep into attempted government coercion of every possible avenue of accommodation.

Woman Arrested for Threatening Judge in Trump Documents Case

A Texas woman has been arrested for allegedly making threats against the federal judge who granted former President Donald Trump’s request for a special master to review documents FBI agents seized from Mar-a-Lago.

In a criminal complaint, the FBI accused Tiffani Shea Gish of Houston, Texas, with leaving several threatening voicemails for U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who is presiding over Trump’s case against the Department of Justice. Gish is charged with making threats to influence a federal official and transmitting in interstate or foreign commerce communications containing threats to injure another person.

According to the affidavit by FBI Special Agent Amy Avila, on Sept. 3, 2022, Judge Cannon turned over three voicemails she received containing threatening messages to Supervisory Deputy United States Marshal Michael Witkowski.

The messages were left on Cannon’s answering machine on Sept. 1 by an individual who identified herself as “Evelyn Salt” and claimed to be “in charge of nuclear for the United States government.” Excerpts from the voicemails state that Trump was “disqualified” and “marked for assassination” and accused Cannon of “helping him.”

“So, here’s what we’re going to do, we’re going to let you disarm f***ing live nukes off your coffee table … how about you sit on an electric chair a couple times over … you think you’ve got the magical ability to pop up from the dead … pretending that you’re on the team of justice,” a message left for Cannon said.

Chicago Mayor Says Texas Is ‘Racist’ for Sending Migrants to Her City

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot lashed out at Texas after her city became the latest target for Gov. Greg Abbott’s migrant busing campaign, calling the move “racist” but saying her city is ready to take the newcomers.

She vowed to welcome the migrants and treat them better than the “racism, discrimination and human cruelty” she said they suffered in Texas, with offers of housing, food and “protection.” Through a spokesperson, she blasted Mr. Abbott for forcing the situation onto her.

“Texas Governor Greg Abbott is without any shame or humanity,” the spokesperson said.

Chicago becomes the latest Democratic-led city to be targeted by Mr. Abbott, who is intent on sharing the massive migrant surge with other parts of the country.

The District of Columbia has received thousands of migrants since the busing campaign started in April. (Read more from “Chicago Mayor Says Texas Is ‘Racist’ for Sending Migrants to Her City” HERE)

Tranny Cheerleader Booted From Camp For Allegedly Choking Female Teammate

A transgender cheerleader who was born a biological male was kicked out of a Texas cheerleading camp and given a criminal citation after allegedly choking a female teammate.

“Well guys I’m officially retired as a cheerleader as of last night at 5:30 AM. A girl on the team was being very disrespectful and told me I am a MAN with a PENIS and that [guys] should not be on the team,” the cheerleader, Averie Chanel Medlock, wrote on Facebook last week. “I stood up for myself and she called her mom and dad because she was scared because I [stood] up for myself. Her father said ‘she still has testosterone and a penis and I will kill anyone who comes after my daughter.’”

The incident took place at Ranger College, where police responded to a dispute between the members of the team, according to Facebook posts from team members. Medlock alleges that a teammate made transphobic and racist remarks before the altercation, with cell phone video showing other cheerleaders hiding in a room from an agitated Medlock.

The father of the girl whom Medlock allegedly choked was also called to the scene by his daughter and he has begun pushing for police to release body camera and CCTV footage of the incident. (Read more from “Tranny Cheerleader Kicked From Camp for Allegedly Choking Female Teammate” HERE)

Report Reveals Chilling Way Uvalde School Shooter Easily Amassed Weapons on His Birthday

A damning Texas probe into the Uvalde school massacre reveals in excruciating detail how easily and quickly the killer amassed his ammo and weapons.

Fiend Salvador Ramos had tried to convince kin to buy him weapons before he legally turned 18 on May 16, to no avail.

So he busied himself purchasing firearms accessories about three months before — “including 60 30-round magazines, a holographic weapon sight, and a Hellfire Gen 2 snap-on trigger system” — and on his 18th birthday, began stockpiling the other crucial elements to his slaughter, the report found.

That day — a week before he fatally gunned down 19 fourth-graders and two teachers at his old elementary school — “an online retailer shipped 1,740 rounds of 5.56mm 75-grain boat tail hollow point [bullets] to his doorstep, at a cost of $1,761.50,’’ the report said.

Ramos also “ordered a Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 (an AR-15-style rifle) for shipment to a gun store in Uvalde, at a cost of $2,054.28 (including tax and transfer fee),’’ the probe found. (Read more from “Report Reveals Chilling Way Uvalde School Shooter Easily Amassed Weapons on His Birthday” HERE)

Judge Blocks Texas Trigger Law From Going Into Effect, Rules Abortions Can Proceed

A Texas county judge sided with abortion providers and temporarily blocked the enforcement of a pre-Roe v. Wade law Tuesday, allowing clinics to perform abortion procedures in the state.

The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, allowing a dormant 1925 law that outlawed abortion in Texas to take effect, according to Reuters. However, a Harris County judge halted the enforcement of the law.

With Roe overturned, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton demanded that the 1925 law be put back in place and enforced across the state, Reuters reported.

“Prosecutors may choose to immediately pursue criminal prosecutions based on violations of Texas abortion prohibitions predating Roe that were never repealed by the Texas Legislature,” Paxton said in a statement Friday. “Although these statutes were unenforceable while Roe was on the books, they are still Texas law.”

Fearing prosecution under the 1925 statute, Texas abortion clinics filed a lawsuit Monday pleading for a temporary restraining order to block the application of the preexisting ban. (Read more from “Judge Blocks Texas Trigger Law From Going Into Effect, Rules Abortions Can Proceed” HERE)

TX Police Commander: Uvalde Gunman Could’ve Been Stopped in Three Minutes

The head of the Texas Department of Public Safety on Tuesday called the police response to the Uvalde school shooting an “abject failure,” adding that the shooter could have been apprehended within three minutes of entering Robb Elementary School as officers waited for “a key that was not needed.”

An 18-year-old male, who will not be named per Daily Wire policy, killed 19 students and two teachers at the elementary school on May 24.

“There’s compelling evidence that the law enforcement response to the attack at Robb Elementary was an abject failure and antithetical to everything we’ve learned over the last two decades since the Columbine massacre,” said Col. Steve McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety.

“Three minutes after the subject entered the West building, there was sufficient number of armed officers wearing body armor to isolate, distract, and neutralize the subject,” McCraw continued. “The only thing stopping the hallway of dedicated officers from entering room 111 and 112 was the on-scene commander who decided to place the lives of officers before the lives of children.” (Read more from “TX Police Commander: Uvalde Gunman Could’ve Been Stopped in Three Minutes” HERE)

Dem Woman Convicted of Over 25 Counts of Voter Fraud

A former volunteer deputy registrar from southeast Texas pleaded guilty to 26 felony counts of voter fraud stemming from a 2018 local utility board election.

Monica Mendez of Port Lavaca has been convicted of “three counts of illegal voting, eight counts of election fraud, seven counts of assisting a voter to submit a ballot by mail, and eight counts of unlawful possession of a mail ballot,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office stated in a press release. . .

“Mendez ran a vote-harvesting operation on behalf of a subsidized housing corporation in order to influence the outcome of a utility board election,” Paxton’s office said. The felonies stemmed from eight mail-in ballots, the Texas Scorecard reported. . .

The Texas Scorecard reported that Mendez’s voter fraud felonies were conducted to benefit ALMS, asserting that the nonprofit “wanted to oust incumbents and take control of the board in order to cut water rates for its rental properties.”

Mendez’s conviction follows a number of election fraud scandals that have made headlines as of late. This month, Breitbart News reported that a former Democrat mayor from Arizona pleaded guilty to ballot harvesting. Last month, the results from a Compton, California, city council election were reversed after the victorious candidate was hit with bribery and voter fraud charges in an extremely close race.

Teacher Who Survived Texas School Shooting Slams ‘Coward’ Cops at Scene

A fourth-grade teacher who was wounded in the Texas school massacre is denouncing local cops for acting like “cowards” instead of confronting the unhinged gunman sooner.

Arnulfo Reyes, who was shot twice during the May 24 mass murder at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, condemned local cops for not acting faster as gunman Salvador Ramos, 18, slaughtered 19 children and two teachers — even as parents outside pleaded with them to act, ABC News reported.

“After everything, I get more angry because you have a bulletproof vest — I had nothing,” an emotional Reyes said of the officers. “I had nothing. You’re supposed to protect and serve. There is no excuse for their actions and I will never forgive them.”

Reyes’ students were watching a movie when Ramos began shooting inside the school, prompting the teacher to tell the youngsters to get under a table and act as if they were asleep.

Ramos, who was already firing in an adjoining classroom, then walked into Room 111 and continued his carnage, said Reyes, who was shot twice. The petrified teacher then pretended to be unconscious to survive the ensuing chaos. (Read more from “Teacher Who Survived Texas School Shooting Slams ‘Coward’ Cops at Scene” HERE)
