Parks Police Ask National Guard to Help Rid Notorious DC Landmark of Crime.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The United States Park Police has requested National Guard assistance in patrolling one of Washington, D.C.’s most notorious crime-ridden parks.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The National Guard, the United States Park Police, Rock Creek Park Superintendent Brian Joyner, President Donald J. Trump, Meridian Hill Park, and criminals.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The Park Police request and National Guard patrols were announced earlier this week.

🎯IMPACT: The National Guard presence will coincide with National Park Service repairs to the park’s ornate cascading fountain, which had been rendered inoperable for years due to disrepair.

IN FULL

The United States Park Police has requested National Guard assistance in patrolling one of Washington, D.C.’s most notorious crime-ridden parks. National Guard units will now bolster the Park Police presence in Meridian Hill Park—dubbed by some residents as Malcolm X Park—”for the foreseeable future,” according to a notice from the superintendent of Rock Creek Park, which oversees the D.C. landmark.

Meridian Hill Park, covering an area of nearly 12 acres, sits 1.5 miles north of the White House and is bounded by 15th and 16th Streets NW in the nation’s capital. While the park was once known for its sweeping views of Washington, D.C., and its cascading fountain, Meridian Hill in the 1960s and ’70s became the epicenter of major political protests and eventually one of the city’s most crime-ridden places.

According to Rock Creek Park Superintendent Brian Joyner, the National Guard presence is due to “high levels of incidents” in the area, especially in the evenings. Notably, the National Guard presence will coincide with National Park Service repairs to the park’s ornate cascading fountain, which had been rendered inoperable for years due to disrepair.

Since the start of his second term last year, President Donald J. Trump has pushed an effort to clean up Washington, D.C., and crack down on crime in the city. The National Pulse reported last week that the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), which operates the Washington, D.C. area Metro subway and bus system, announced that 2025 marked the lowest crime rate in over two decades.

Additionally, Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) data shows that 2025 saw a 29 percent reduction in incidents of violent crime, with the number of homicides falling by an astounding 32 percent across the capital.

U.S. Targets Regime Change in Cuba by Year’s End.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The U.S. is actively seeking regime change in Cuba by the end of the year, looking to push out its communist regime.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The Trump administration, Cuban government insiders, and U.S. intelligence officials.

📍WHEN & WHERE: As of January 2026, with meetings in Miami and Washington.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I strongly suggest they make a deal. BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.” – President Donald J. Trump

🎯IMPACT: Potential end of communist rule in Cuba after nearly 67 years.

IN FULL

The Trump administration, following the ouster of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, is now aiming to achieve regime change in Cuba by the end of the year. The administration is believed to be seeking to identify figures within the Cuban government to facilitate a transition of power away from the communist regime, which has ruled the Caribbean island for nearly 67 years.

Senior U.S. officials have assessed Cuba’s economy as being on the brink of collapse, exacerbated by the loss of support from Maduro’s regime in Venezuela. Although no concrete plan has been established, the capture of Maduro and the concessions from his allies are seen as a potential blueprint for Cuba.

Notably, American officials have been quietly meeting with members of Cuba’s exile community in Miami to identify potential intermediaries on the island that could pave the way for the communist regime’s collapse. Currently, the island nation suffers from near constant electricity blackouts, significant food shortages, and a breakdown in other critical infrastructure—with only the communist regime’s monopoly on force and food keeping it in power.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump emphasized the urgency of the situation in a recent post on Truth Social, stating, “I strongly suggest they make a deal. BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE,” while also declaring that no more oil or money would be sent to Cuba. The National Pulse reported earlier this month that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford (R-AR) sees the capture of Venezuela’s Maduro as a first step in ousting Cuba’s communist regime as well, calling it “the beginning of the end.”

The U.S. military operation in Venezuela that resulted in Maduro’s capture and the death of 32 Cuban soldiers and intelligence operatives who served as the Marxist dictator’s personal security is largely seen as an implicit warning to Cuba as well. While the United States has yet to take any overt actions towards toppling Cuba’s communist regime, moves like President Trump’s order cutting off subsidized Venezuelan oil and sanctions on government officials and overseas medical operations suggest more direct action could be coming.

Left Media Simps for Criminal Illegal Child Predator.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A Cuban illegal immigrant pedophile’s death in an El Paso, Texas detention center was ruled a homicide by the medical examiner, with left-wing media outlets including The New York Times and CNN covering him sympathetically.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Geraldo Lunas Campos, a 55-year-old pedophile, and law enforcement officials at Camp East Montana.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The incident occurred on January 3, 2026, at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in El Paso, Texas.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The New York Times doing what it does best. Covering for illegal criminal migrants.” – Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse

🎯IMPACT: Media coverage of Lunas Campos’s death has raised further questions about the priorities of the corporate media, and further undermined its credibility.

IN FULL

Corporate media outlets have provided sympathetic coverage of Geraldo Lunas Campos, a Cuban illegal immigrant pedophile, after his death in an El Paso, Texas detention center was ruled a homicide by the county medical examiner’s office. The autopsy revealed asphyxia due to neck and torso compression, with injuries to his head and neck.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, criticized media outlets like The New York Times and CNN for their sympathetic coverage of Lunas Campos, despite his extensive criminal record, including sexual contact with a child under 11 and weapon possession.

“The New York Times doing what it does best. Covering for illegal criminal migrants,” Kassam wrote on X in response to the newspaper’s coverage of Lunas Campos’s death, further questioning why “CNN also wants you to care deeply about this poor deceased illegal child sex predator.”

The incident occurred on January 3, 2026, at Camp East Montana, where Lunas Campos became unresponsive while being restrained by law enforcement. Emergency workers attempted resuscitation, but he was declared dead at the scene.

The pedophile’s family, represented by lawyer Will Horowitz, is preparing a wrongful-death lawsuit, citing a witness who claimed guards choked him to death.

Christian Nurse Beats Suspension for ‘Misgendering’ Trans Pedophile.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A nurse in England who faced disciplinary action for “misgendering” a transgender pedophile has been reinstated after a lengthy battle.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Nurse Jennifer Melle, Epsom and St Helier National Health Service (NHS) Trust, and a transgender prisoner.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The “misgendering” incident occurred in May 2024 at St Helier Hospital, Carshalton, Surrey; disciplinary decision made in March 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This has been an incredibly long and painful journey, and today I want to give thanks, first and foremost, to Jesus, who has sustained me every step of the way.” – Jennifer Melle

🎯IMPACT: Ms. Melle has been reinstated, and her case highlights ongoing disputes over gender ideology and workplace policies.

IN FULL

Jennifer Melle, a British nurse from Croydon in south London, has been reinstated following a suspension for using male pronouns to refer to a transgender prisoner claiming to be a woman. The incident took place in May 2024 at St Helier Hospital in Carshalton, Surrey, during a discussion about catheter use. The prisoner, imprisoned for child sex offences, was recorded as male in medical records, and Melle correctly referred to him as “Mr.” She later received a written warning but continued working in her role.

The case escalated after Melle spoke to the media in March 2025 about her experience. The Epsom and St Helier National Health Service (NHS) Trust then suspended her on full pay, citing concerns that her comments could have led to the identification of the patient and potentially breached confidentiality rules.

Following a private disciplinary hearing, the trust confirmed that Melle would return to work and that no further action would be taken. An NHS spokesman said, “Following an investigation into a breach of patient confidentiality, we are pleased that a member of staff who was previously suspended on full pay is being reinstated to clinical duties.”

Speaking outside Epsom Gateway after the decision, Ms. Melle said, “This has been an incredibly long and painful journey, and today I want to give thanks, first and foremost, to Jesus, who has sustained me every step of the way.”

Despite her reinstatement, Melle is pursuing an employment tribunal claim against the trust, alleging harassment as well as direct and indirect discrimination linked to her gender-critical and Christian beliefs. She has received backing from other nurses, including Bethany Hutchison and Lisa Lockey, who have previously brought successful tribunal cases involving disputes over gender ideology in the workplace.

Trump Takes On Big Business in Affordability Push: ‘Homes Are For People, Not Corporations.’

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump announced new measures aimed at addressing housing affordability for Americans, including restrictions on the purchase of homes by large investment firms and hedge funds.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Trump, large institutional investors, single-family home buyers, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and attendees of the World Economic Forum (WEF) summit in Davos, Switzerland.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The announcement was made on January 21, 2026, at the WEF meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Homes are built for people, not for corporations, and America will not become a nation of renters.” — President Trump

🎯IMPACT: While the Executive Order does not ban outright large institutional investors’ ability to acquire single-family homes, President Trump’s directive places strict limits on conventional mortgage guarantees sought by investment firms when purchasing single-family residences.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump, speaking at the World Economic Forum (WEF) summit in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, announced new measures aimed at addressing housing affordability for Americans, including restrictions on the purchase of homes by large investment firms and hedge funds. Late Tuesday, President Trump signed an Executive Order that restricts federal agencies from facilitating the financing or insuring of single-family homes by “large institutional investors.”

“Homes are built for people, not for corporations, and America will not become a nation of renters,” President Trump told WEF attendees. “That’s why I have signed an executive order banning large institutional investors from buying single-family homes. It’s just not fair to the public. They’re not able to buy a house.”

While the housing policy Executive Order does not ban large institutional investors from acquiring single-family homes outright, the directive places strict limits on conventional mortgage guarantees sought by investment firms when purchasing single-family residences. Notably, the measure does not impact cash buyers or investment firms that use financing not backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The National Pulse reported in June of 2024 that under the former Biden government, mortgage costs began to rise once again—mostly due to inflation—and caused a spike in foreclosures. This resulted in a flood of residential property sales that drew significant interest from alternative asset management firms, such as Blackstone, which purchased these properties to generate a steady stream of rental revenue for their investors.

DHS Officers Rammed By Illegal Immigrant, Shots Fired.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A federal agent opened fire in Southern California after a criminal illegal immigrant rammed law enforcement with his vehicle in an attempt to evade arrest.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Department of Homeland Security (DHS) law enforcement officers and William Eduardo Moran Carballo, a criminal illegal immigrant from El Salvador.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Wednesday morning in Compton, California.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Fearing for his life and safety, an agent fired defensive shots.” – DHS spokesman

🎯IMPACT: The suspect was apprehended without harm, but a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer sustained injuries.

IN FULL

A federal agent fired his weapon during a law enforcement operation in Compton, California, on Wednesday after a suspect used his vehicle to strike officers while attempting to avoid arrest, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The incident occurred during a targeted operation to apprehend William Eduardo Moran Carballo, a Salvadoran national accused of involvement in human smuggling. DHS said Carballo had previously been arrested twice for inflicting corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant and was the subject of a final order of removal issued by an immigration judge in 2019.

“In a dangerous attempt to evade arrest, this criminal illegal alien weaponized his vehicle and rammed law enforcement. Fearing for his life and safety, an agent fired defensive shots,” a DHS spokesman said. Authorities said the suspect was not hit by the gunfire and fled on foot before being taken into custody. A Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer was injured during the encounter, while the suspect was unharmed.

DHS, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), argued that sanctuary policies and ongoing violent anti-ICE protests have emboldened criminals to resist arrest. “These dangerous attempts to evade arrest have surged since sanctuary politicians, including Governor [Gavin] Newsom, have encouraged illegal aliens to evade arrest and provided guides advising illegal aliens how to recognize ICE, block entry, and defy arrest,” the agency said. The agency noted there has been a 3,200 percent increase in vehicle attacks against law enforcement.

The Compton confrontation comes amid a series of recent attacks targeting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and other federal officers. In one case, federal authorities offered a $15,000 reward for information leading to the capture of an illegal immigrant accused of ramming ICE agents with a vehicle. In another case, an illegal immigrant received a 20-year federal prison sentence for a violent assault on an ICE officer.

Additional incidents have included a California professor accused of attacking ICE agents with tear gas and a reported 1,000 percent increase in assaults on ICE personnel following a sniper attack, according to federal officials.

Dem Leaders Move to Block Funding for ICE, DHS.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA) announced a decision to vote against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appropriations bill.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark, Rep. Enrique “Henry” Cuellar (D-TX), and Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT).

📍WHEN & WHERE: The decision was made on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, in a closed-door meeting of House Democrats.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I signed off. Let’s go. Let’s move. And people will decide what they want to.” – Rep. Rosa DeLauro.

🎯IMPACT: The bill is expected to pass despite some Democratic opposition, with a group of moderate lawmakers expected to support it.

IN FULL

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA) informed Democrats in a private meeting that they intend to vote against a bill funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The move is largely seen as an attempt by Democrat leaders to placate a large bloc of their more progressive caucus members who are demanding the agency be defunded over ongoing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations targeting illegal immigrants across the country.

Despite their stated opposition, the Democratic leaders are not expected to actively whip against the bill. While a bulk of Democrats are anticipated to oppose the appropriations measure, it is expected that a small group of moderate Democrats will still support it. More radical progressive House Democrats have demanded the party oppose the DHS funding bill, ramping up their calls for resistance after anti-ICE activist Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot while attempting to run over an ICE agent in Minneapolis.

Rep. Enrique “Henry” Cuellar (D-TX), a key minority member on the Homeland Security Appropriations subcommittee, has called for his colleagues to support the bill, highlighting several Democrat victories within it. These include $20 million allocated for body cameras for ICE personnel, although the overall ICE budget remains unchanged.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), who helped negotiate the broader spending package, emphasized the urgency of passing the bill to prevent a government shutdown. While acknowledging the bill’s limitations in securing the progressive Democrat demands for substantial ICE reforms, she noted its benefits for other agencies like TSA and FEMA.

DeLauro explained the need to move forward despite the bill’s imperfections, saying, “I signed off. Let’s go. Let’s move. And people will decide what they want to.”

Barron Trump Helped Save a Woman’s Life.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Barron Trump helped save a woman’s life after witnessing her being attacked during a FaceTime call.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Barron Trump, a woman who was attacked, and Matvei Rumiantsev, the alleged attacker.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The incident occurred during a FaceTime call last year, with Barron Trump calling the British police.

💬KEY QUOTE: “He helped save my life. That call was like a sign from God at that moment.” – The woman who testified in court.

🎯IMPACT: The alleged attacker, Matvei Rumiantsev, faces multiple charges, including assault, rape, and intentional strangulation.

IN FULL

A woman told an English court that President Donald J. Trump‘s son Barron Trump “helped save my life” after he contacted police when he realized she was being assaulted, according to testimony heard this week in London. Jurors were told that Barron Trump was in the United States when he received a FaceTime call from the woman, with whom he is friends, and soon realized she was being attacked. Speaking to a police operator, Trump said, “I just got a call from a girl I know. She’s getting beaten up.”

Trump described what he saw on the video call: “I just saw a ceiling and could hear screaming. I could see a guy’s head on the phone, and then the camera turns to her crying and getting hit.” He made the report around 2:20 AM London time in January last year.

The court heard that the alleged attacker, Russian national Matvei Rumiantsev, had earlier become angry after attempting to contact the woman. According to reports, prosecutors said Rumiantsev later went to her home, punched her repeatedly, kicked her in the stomach, and shouted insults at her during the video call with Barron, calling her a “whore” and a “slut.”

During her testimony, the woman praised Barron’s actions. “He helped save my life,” she said. “That call was like a sign from God at that moment.”

Jurors also heard the recording of the emergency call, during which the operator asked Barron how he knew the woman. Trump appeared frustrated by the questioning and urged police to act quickly. He also told operators that it took him several minutes to find the correct phone number for British emergency services from abroad.

Rumiantsev is facing multiple charges, including assault, two counts of rape, intentional strangulation, and perverting the course of justice.

The case comes amid broader concerns about violent crime and public safety in the United Kingdom, particularly in London. Police have particularly struggled to contain violence at large public events, with mass arrests becoming increasingly common, including more than 140 arrests on the opening day of London’s annual Afro-Caribbean Notting Hill Carnival last year.

Gavin Newsom is Bitching About Being Canceled at Davos.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A scheduled appearance by Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) at the World Economic Forum (WEF) summit in Davos, Switzerland, was canceled, with his team alleging interference from the Trump administration.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Governor Newsom, President Donald J. Trump, the USA House, and the WEF.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The cancellation occurred during the WEF summit in Davos, Switzerland, this week.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Under pressure from the White House and State Department, USA House (a church acting as the official US pavilion) is now denying entry to [California Governor] Gavin Newsom to speak with media after Fortune – the official media partner – invited him to speak,” Newsom’s office alleges.

🎯IMPACT: Newsom used the incident to criticize the Trump administration and promote California as a counterbalance to its policies.

IN FULL

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) is complaining that a planned appearance at the World Economic Forum (WEF) summit in Davos, Switzerland, was canceled at the last minute after officials at the U.S. pavilion withdrew access, a move his office blamed on pressure from the Trump administration. Newsom had been scheduled to take part in a “fireside chat” organized by Fortune at the USA House, which serves as the official U.S. pavilion at the annual gathering.

Shortly before the event was set to begin, the USA House informed organizers that it could no longer accommodate the liberal governor. In a statement shared publicly by Newsom, his office complained, “Under pressure from the White House and State Department, USA House (a church acting as the official US pavilion) is now denying entry to [California Governor] Gavin Newsom to speak with media after Fortune – the official media partner – invited him to speak.”

Newsom amplified the complaint on social media, whining, “How weak and pathetic do you have to be to be this scared of a fireside chat?”

Fortune confirmed that Newsom had been invited to participate but said the USA House had made the decision to rescind access. The magazine noted that programming at high-profile international events can be affected by logistical, security, and stakeholder considerations.

The incident occurred as Newsom, widely viewed as a potential Democratic presidential contender in 2028, used his Davos visit to attack President Donald J. Trump and international leaders he views as accommodating the Trump administration. Speaking with reporters, Newsom said, “I can’t take this complicity of people rolling over. I should have brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders. I mean handing out crowns, the Nobel prizes that are being given away. It’s just pathetic.”

During the forum, Trump announced he had reached what he described as a new framework with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte regarding Greenland, easing tensions with allies and pausing threatened tariffs tied to the dispute over Denmark transferring the territory to the U.S.

A White House spokesman dismissed Newsom’s criticism of the President, saying, “No one in Davos knows who third-rate governor Newscum is or why he is frolicking around Switzerland instead of fixing the many problems he created in California.”

Bureaucrats Barrage Farage With Parliamentary Paperwork Probe.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Nigel Farage is being smeared for having breached the code of conduct for Members of Parliament (MPs) in Britain, because he registered some financial interests slightly late.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Nigel Farage, Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards Daniel Greenberg, and rival political parties.

💬KEY QUOTE: The Commissioner conceded that the late paperwork was “inadvertent because of staffing and other administrative issues” and did not refer Farage for further action.

🎯IMPACT: The corporate media and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s government are attempting to frame the paperwork issue as major misconduct, despite the Commissioner concluding no action should be taken against Farage following a protracted investigation.

IN FULL

Nigel Farage, leader of Britain’s Reform Party, breached the code of conduct for Members of Parliament (MPs) by failing to register some financial interests on time. Despite the breaches appearing minor, involving, for instance, payments for television presenting work being registered 36 days late, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s leftist government and the corporate media are attempting to inflate them into an ethics scandal.

Daniel Greenberg, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, conducted the investigation into Farage over three months and determined that the breaches were “inadvertent because of staffing and other administrative issues.” He decided not to refer the matter to the Committee on Standards for further action.

Farage took “full responsibility” for the late paperwork and apologized, saying that “this was an administrative error on behalf of me and my team.”

“Unlike most Members, I have a very complicated and complex set of interests, including my work as a TV presenter and as a successful private businessman, most of which were built long before I was elected as a Member of Parliament,” he explained.

Farage’s party has been consistently topping the polls in Britain for months, with Starmer’s incumbent Labour Party and the formerly governing Conservatives (Tories) both experiencing a historic collapse in support. Consequently, a nascent lawfare campaign is emerging against Farage, similar to that used to exclude French populist leader Marine Le Pen from her country’s forthcoming presidential elections.

Radical Charged With Unhinged Threats to Kill Trump, ICE, and ‘MAGA Republicans.’

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: An Oklahoma man was federally charged with threatening to kill U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, “MAGA Republicans,” and President Donald J. Trump in YouTube comments.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Taylor Ryan Prigmore, 30, federal prosecutors, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

📍WHEN & WHERE: Comments were posted between May 9, 2025, and January 17, 2026; Prigmore was arrested on Monday.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Hiding behind a screen will not protect you from severe legal consequences.” – Attorney General Pam Bondi.

🎯IMPACT: Prigmore faces up to five years in prison and $250,000 in fines.

IN FULL

Taylor Ryan Prigmore, 30, has been arrested and federally charged after allegedly posting threats to kill U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, “MAGA Republicans,” and President Donald J. Trump on YouTube. According to federal prosecutors, the comments were made between May 9, 2025, and January 17, 2026.

“As attacks on law enforcement rise around the country, this Department of Justice will continue to identify and prosecute violent threats against the brave men and women who keep us safe,” U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said, adding, “Hiding behind a screen will not protect you from severe legal consequences.”

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was alerted by Google regarding the threats, which were posted on the company’s YouTube video platform under the username “Adrian Tepes”. According to the criminal complaint, Prigmore wrote threatening comments such as “C*vil w*r. I can’t wait for the opportunity to k*ll people like you. Tell your friends,” and “Prep for civil w*r. Prep for d*th c*mps. Prep for k*illing f*ederal *g*nts.” He also allegedly posted that President Trump “needs to die to save lives.”

FBI Director Kash Patel emphasized the seriousness of the threats, stating, “If you threaten to harm law enforcement officers, the FBI and our partners will find you and hold you accountable. There will be no free passes for threats against the hard-working men and women who wear the badge and protect our communities.”

Prigmore has been ordered to be held in custody pending trial and faces up to five years in prison and $250,000 in fines if convicted.
