Donald Trump warned last month that the illegal immigration crisis under Joe Biden was creating a “new category of crime… migrant crime, and it’s going to be worse than any other form of crime.”
A review by The National Pulse of just seven days of news coverage appeared to vindicate the former president, uncovering multiple examples of severe offenses. Now, a second review, covering the last seven days, shows this was no outlier:
A FAMILY DESTROYED.
In Missouri, a Venezuelan illegal alien, Endrina Bracho, was charged with first-degree involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault, first-degree child endangerment, and driving without a license after smashing into a family of three while driving 35 miles over the speed limit on the wrong side of the road.
Travis Wolfe, 12, died in early March after clinging to life for a few months following the December crash. His parents also suffered significant injuries, including a broken sternum, broken ribs, and broken ribs.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey noted the, “tragic loss of 12-year-old Travis Wolfe is yet another painful reminder of the devastating consequences of lax border enforcement,” warning that illegal aliens can “come to our country, kill our children and continue the cycle because Biden refuses to hold them accountable.”
ONE OF MANY.
On March 11, the Boston Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) unit of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported having a Colombian illegal convicted of “indecent assault and battery on a person over 14” — a crime which earned him only one year of probation – in custody pending removal proceedings.
“This Colombian sex offender not only broke our immigration laws; he victimized a Massachusetts resident,” said an ICE spokesman.
The agency noted that the unnamed 44-year-old was just one of 275 “noncitizen sex offenders” detained during an operation running from February 5 to February 16. They said that ERO had detained fully 73,822 noncitizens with criminal histories in fiscal year 2023, including 4,390 with charges or convictions for sexual offenses and 1,713 with charges or convictions for homicide.
‘SAME THING AS LAKEN RILEY.’
Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw reported the arrest of three Guatemalan illegals for abducting a woman from a public park and sexually assaulting her repeatedly.
“For them to be in this country, for them to be able to commit these types of crimes is unconscionable,” Bradshaw said, accusing Joe Biden of having “put the American people in jeopardy.”
“This is the same thing we saw where the student was killed by the person that was here illegally,” Bradshaw added, referring to the murder of Laken Riley.
A FUGITIVE KILLER.
It was reported on Thursday that a Honduran wanted for murder in his home country had been apprehended in Rhode Island.
The unnamed illegal first crossed the southern border in January 2021 but deported under Trump-era controls Biden has now abolished.
He crossed against later the same year, avoiding border officials entirely and becoming one of the hundreds of thousands of annual “gotaways.”
He did not leave his past behind him in Honduras, either, having been arrested for felony assault with a weapon in 2023 and domestic violence in 2024. Incredibly, a judge ignored an ICE detainer against the illegal and released him into the community, with ICE having to track him down and take him back into custody.
REPEAT OFFENDER.
Salvadoran illegal Jeovany Alfaro Lopez was booked for second-degree rape and two counts of third-degree sex offenses against children at a Maryland church.
Posing as a church teacher, his victims — who were as young as six and included the church pastor — said he sometimes attacked them while they were at prayer with their eyes closed.
He was in the country despite having two previous deportations and one voluntary exit from the United States, with the authorities currently having no idea when he made his latest unlawful entry.
Despite his record, he was also freed by the Montgomery County Detention Center on August 11, in defiance of an ICE detainer.
‘ISIS TIES.’
Finally, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director Christopher Wray admitted to the Senate Intelligence Committee that a migrant-smuggling network linked to the Islamic State terror group is operating on the southern border.
“I want to be a little bit careful how far I can go in open session, but there is a particular network that, where some of the overseas facilitators of the smuggling network have ISIS ties that we’re very concerned about,” Wray revealed.
He admitted the FBI was dealing with “a wide array of very dangerous threats that emanate from the border,” including violent fentanyl-dealing gangs.
"We have a new category of crime. It's called migrant crime, and it's going to be worse than any other form of crime," @realDonaldTrump told Laura Ingraham. pic.twitter.com/FrdQLSFKPB
