Migrant Housed in Taxpayer-Funded Hotel Sentenced for Murdering Hotel Staffer.

PULSE POINTS

âť“WHAT HAPPENED: An asylum seeker has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of a hotel worker.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Deng Chol Majek, the convicted killer, and Rhiannon Whyte, the victim.

đź“ŤWHEN & WHERE: Whyte was murdered in October 2024 at Bescot Stadium railway station in Walsall, England; Majek was sentenced this week.

đź’¬KEY QUOTE: CCTV footage showed Majek “laughing and dancing in the hotel car park” after the attack.

🎯IMPACT: Majek has been sentenced to a minimum of 29 years in prison.

IN FULL

Deng Chol Majek, an asylum seeker, has been sentenced to “life” in prison with a minimum term of 29 years before possible parole, for the murder of 27-year-old hotel worker Rhiannon Whyte in England. The attack took place in October 2024 after Majek followed Ms Whyte from the Park Inn Hotel in Walsall, where he was being housed at taxpayers’ expense, to Bescot Stadium railway station.

Prosecutors told the court that Majek launched an unprovoked assault at the station, using a screwdriver to stab his victim 23 times. One of the blows caused catastrophic damage to her brain stem. She was taken to the hospital but died three days later from her injuries. Whyte, who was a mother, was described by family members as devoted to her child and well-liked by colleagues.

CCTV footage showed Majek trailing Whyte after she finished work and later captured his behaviour back at the hotel. Jurors were shown images of him laughing and dancing in the parking lot while emergency services were attending to his victim. The court heard there was no clear motive for the killing. However, evidence was presented that Majek had previously been reported for making female staff uncomfortable by staring at them. During the trial and sentencing, he showed no remorse. Majek must serve at least 29 years in prison before he can be considered for parole.

The sentencing has drawn attention to the wider debate around crime linked to the asylum system in Britain. The country has seen hundreds of cases involving migrants housed in taxpayer-funded hotels who were later charged with serious offences, including rape, violent assault, and robbery. One hotel resident convicted of rape was reported to have had a prior terrorism conviction overseas.

Unsealed Indictment Reveals Charges Against Don Lemon.

PULSE POINTS

âť“WHAT HAPPENED: Former CNN host Don Lemon and several other far-left activists have been charged under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act over the storming of a Minnesota church, unsealed indictments show.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Don Lemon, far-left activists, and Harmeet Dhillon.

đź“ŤWHEN & WHERE: The indictment was unsealed on January 30, just hours after Lemon’s arrest.

đź’¬KEY QUOTE: “He took steps to maintain operational secrecy by reminding co-conspirators to not disclose the target of the operation and stepped away momentarily so his mic would not accidentally divulge certain portions of the planning session.” – Indictment

🎯IMPACT: Lemon and his co-defendants could be facing months in prison for their actions.

IN FULL

Far-left former CNN host Don Lemon has been hit with two separate charges for his role in the storming and invasion of a Minnesota church earlier this month, including under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, which also protects religious institutions. Lemon is listed with several other plaintiffs who took part in the invasion in a grand jury indictment, which was unsealed on January 30.

Lemon and his co-defendants are charged with Conspiracy Against the Right of Religious Freedom at a Place of Worship and attempting to injure, intimidate, and interfere with the exercise of the right of religious freedom at a place of worship under the FACE Act.

The indictment accuses Lemon of purposely trying to hide the actions of the group prior to the storming of the church, saying he “took steps to maintain operational secrecy by reminding co-conspirators to not disclose the target of the operation and stepped away momentarily so his mic would not accidentally divulge certain portions of the planning session” during a livestream broadcast.

The indictment further states that Lemon told his audience, “We’re going to head to the operation. Again, we’re not going to give any, any of the information away,” as well as communicating with others participating in the invasion and telling them to maintain operational security. It also notes that Lemon and his co-defendants did not leave the church when asked to by the pastor.

Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon commented on the case, saying, “Being a journalist is not a badge or a shield that protects you from criminal consequences.” Many, including the federal government, believe he was not present for the church invasion as a journalist, but as an active participant in the demonstration. At minimum, his “reporting” from the scene was highly partisan, with intruders being told “Thank you for your service” while church members were subjected to hostile interrogations.

The church was allegedly targeted as the far-left activists believed that one of its pastors worked with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Govt Official Who Tried to Bar DOGE From Inspecting His Books Pleads GUILTY to Corruption.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Mathieu G. Zahui, the Director of Financial Management for the United States African Development Foundation (USADF), agreed to plead guilty in federal court on Friday to criminal allegations that he accepted kickbacks from a USADF contractor and attempted to hide the scheme from federal law enforcement.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Mathieu G. Zahui, the USADF, a Kenyan company owned by Zahui’s friend, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

đź“ŤWHEN & WHERE: Zahui pleaded guilty in federal court on Friday, January 30, 2026.

💬KEY QUOTE: “President Trump has made it clear that he will put an end to the fraud, waste, and abuse that was commonplace throughout these agencies.” — U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro

🎯IMPACT: Zahui was the center of controversy last year when he tried to bar DOGE from accessing the USADF’s financial books and rejected the new chairman of the organization appointed by President Donald J. Trump.

IN FULL

Mathieu G. Zahui, the Director of Financial Management for the United States African Development Foundation (USADF), was charged and agreed to plead guilty in federal court on Friday to criminal allegations that he accepted kickbacks from a USADF contractor and attempted to hide the scheme from federal law enforcement. Notably, Zahui was the center of controversy last year when he tried to bar the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing the USADF’s financial books and rejected the new chairman of the organization appointed by President Donald J. Trump.

DOGE officials eventually entered the USADF offices and conducted a review of the foundation’s finances with the assistance of U.S. Marshals. According to the federal indictment, Zahui’s scheme involved funneling payments to the USADF’s vendors and contractors through a Kenyan company owned by a friend of 20 years.

“President Trump has made it clear that he will put an end to the fraud, waste, and abuse that was commonplace throughout these agencies,” U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said on Friday after the guilty plea. She added, “There will be serious consequences whenever corruption is unearthed, whether at the U.S. African Development Foundation or any other foundation.”

The Department of Justice (DOJ) states that the Kenyan company—designated “Company-1” in the indictment—processed an estimated $617,625.49 in payments from the USADF. Consequently, Company-1 received an estimated $ 134,886.34 in “markup.” Of that, Zahui received $12,000 in cash kickbacks from his friend, who owned Company-1.

Importantly, the DOJ revealed that Zahui and his friend worked to hide the kickbacks from the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS), which authorized the USADF’s payments to third parties and nongovernmental entities. Zahui faces a combined maximum of seven years in prison on the kickback charge and for lying to federal law enforcement.

Biden Judge Blocks Death Penalty in Luigi Mangione Case.

PULSE POINTS

âť“WHAT HAPPENED: A judge ruled that Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, will not face the death penalty if convicted on federal charges.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Luigi Mangione, UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, and Judge Margaret Garnett.

đź“ŤWHEN & WHERE: The ruling occurred on Friday, January 30, 2026.

🎯IMPACT: Mangione could still face life in prison if convicted, though the death penalty removal is likely to be appealed.

IN FULL

The federal judge presiding over the murder trial of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson ruled on Friday that Luigi Mangione, 27, will not face the death penalty if convicted. U.S. District Court Judge Margaret Garnett, nominated by former President Joe Biden, dismissed the federal murder charge but maintained a stalking charge that carries a maximum punishment of life in prison. Mangione, 27, has pleaded not guilty to both federal and state charges.

Notably, Judge Garnett’s reasoning in dismissing the federal murder charge revolves around a requirement that the killing was committed during another “crime of violence.” The judge agreed with Mangione’s defense team that the stalking charge did not constitute a violent crime.

While the removal of the death penalty is—for now—a significant win for Mangione, the ruling is likely to be appealed. Meanwhile, Mangione’s legal defense also suffered a considerable setback when Judge Garnett rejected his defense attorneys’ attempt to suppress evidence obtained during the search of his backpack at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s on December 9, 2024. Items recovered included a 3D-printed handgun, a loaded magazine, a notebook, a map, and a “survival kit.” Police testified that such searches are standard procedure during arrests.

The Friday ruling means that jury selection in the federal case against Mangione will now likely begin in October of this year rather than on September 8. State prosecutors in New York are pushing to start their state case against the alleged assassin in early July, though Mangione’s attorneys argue this does not give them enough time to prepare an adequate defense.

Don Lemon Has Been Arrested.

PULSE POINTS

âť“WHAT HAPPENED: Former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested by federal authorities in Los Angeles, California.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Don Lemon, federal agents, and his attorney Abbe Lowell.

đź“ŤWHEN & WHERE: Thursday night in Los Angeles, while Lemon was covering the Grammy awards.

đź’¬KEY QUOTE: “Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court.” – Abbe Lowell

🎯IMPACT: The arrest follows Don Lemon invading a church in Minnesota alongside anti-ICE activists, ostensibly in a journalistic capacity.

IN FULL

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested by federal agents on Thursday night in Los Angeles, California, where he had been covering the Grammy Awards, his attorney Abbe Lowell has confirmed. Lemon, 59, now working as an independent activist-journalist, was taken into custody in connection with his participation in the invasion of a Cities Church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, by anti-ICE activists, following a grand jury indictment.

Lemon was there ostensibly in a journalistic capacity, although he conducted hostile interviews with church members and sympathetic interviews with the invaders, even telling one of the latter, “Thank you for your service.” The invasion, which disrupted a church service and sent congregants fleeing with their children, was motivated by the pastor being suspected of having ties to the federal government.

The exact charges against Lemon were unclear as of the time of publication, although federal authorities had previously indicated that they would pursue people involved in the church invasion for civil rights violations.

Lemon’s attorney Abbe Lowell described the arrest as an “unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing this administration,” which “will not stand.”

The arrest comes amid a broader federal immigration operation in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, where authorities deployed 3,000 immigration agents over the past two months. Three other people involved in the same church protest have also been arrested.

Border Czar Tom Homan Strikes Shock ICE Drawdown Agreement With Minnesota Dems.

PULSE POINTS

âť“WHAT HAPPENED: White House border czar Tom Homan announced the Trump administration will drawdown the number of federal immigration officers in Minnesota after Democrat lawmakers agreed to ensure county jails will notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents of release dates for “criminal public safety risks.”

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D), Tom Homan, President Donald J. Trump, and ICE officers.

đź“ŤWHEN & WHERE: Thursday morning in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

đź’¬KEY QUOTE: “This is common sense cooperation that allows us to draw down the number of people we have here. Yes, I said it. Draw down the number of people here.” – Tom Homan

🎯IMPACT: The agreement aims to reduce the number of federal immigration enforcement officers needed in Minnesota and prioritize public safety risks.

IN FULL

White House border czar Tom Homan announced on Thursday that the Trump administration will begin drawing down the number of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Minnesota. The reduction in the number of federal immigration agents is part of an agreement reached between Homan and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D).

Homan stressed that the drawdown is only possible if Minnesota lawmakers uphold their end of the agreement. “This is common sense cooperation that allows us to draw down the number of people we have here. Yes, I said it. Draw down the number of people here,” Homan said at a press conference.


According to the White House border czar, Ellison has committed to ensuring that Minnesota county jails will now notify ICE agents as to the release dates for individuals deemed “criminal public safety risks.” Homan continued, “One ICE agent can arrest one bad guy when he’s behind the safety and security of a jail when he’s behind bars, and we know he doesn’t have weapons.”

Despite the agreement on handing over “criminal public safety risks,” Homan stressed that ICE operations would continue until “the problem’s gone.” He stated that illegal immigrants posing public safety or national security threats would be prioritized for enforcement actions.

Homan was dispatched to Minnesota by U.S. President Donald J. Trump to oversee ICE operations following weeks of violent anti-ICE protests and confrontations. “We’ve made a lot of progress in the past three days,” Homan said, adding, “I’m here on behalf of the President… I am on the ground to re-gain law and order, and work to remove threats from the community.”

Addressing the leftist anti-ICE agitators and their funders, Homan declared, “The organization and funding of attacks on ICE—they will be held accountable. Justice is coming.”

Convicted Criminals, Including Carjacker Who Beat Pregnant Woman, Found Among Arrested Anti-ICE Activists.

PULSE POINTS

âť“WHAT HAPPENED: A protest outside a Minneapolis hotel turned chaotic, leading to the arrest of at least 26 anti-ICE demonstrators, including a man previously convicted of assaulting a pregnant woman.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Notable arrests included Justin Neal Shelton, a man with a violent criminal past, and Abraham Nelson Coleman, a convicted thief.

đź“ŤWHEN & WHERE: The incident occurred Monday night at the SpringHill Suites in Maple Grove.

đź’¬KEY QUOTE: “The protest was declared an unlawful assembly after property damage and violence occurred.” – Police statement

🎯IMPACT: The arrests highlight the presence of criminals among the anti-ICE protestors in Minnesota.

IN FULL

Several convicted criminals were arrested on January 26 following chaotic protests outside of the SpringHill Suites hotel in Maple Grove, Minnesota, where far-left anti-ICE extremists besieged the hotel amid claims that Border Patrol leader Gregory Bovino was staying at the property. Among those arrested was Justin Neal Shelton, a 37-year-old St. Paul resident, who was charged with obstructing legal process. Court records show Shelton has a criminal history dating back to 2007, including a conviction for assaulting a pregnant woman during an attempted carjacking. He served approximately five years in prison for that offense.

Abraham Nelson Coleman, 45, was also taken into custody on allegations of damaging property outside the hotel. Coleman has accumulated multiple theft– and property-related convictions since 2003, according to public records. Another arrest involved Rayna Michelle Alston, 21, who was booked on a riot charge. Alston has previously voiced support for anti-ICE demonstrations on social media, where she has shared posts calling for disruption and resistance against federal immigration enforcement.

According to authorities, officers intervened after incidents of property damage and confrontations with law enforcement were reported. The Maple Grove Police Department said, “The protest was declared an unlawful assembly after property damage and violence occurred.”

The Maple Grove protest occurred amid heightened tensions surrounding federal immigration operations in Minnesota. In recent weeks, anti-ICE activists have staged demonstrations at hotels, government buildings, and other locations believed to be connected to Immigration and Customs Enforcement or Customs and Border Protection activity. Some of those protests elsewhere in the state have escalated into outright violence, with federal agents reporting injuries during clashes with demonstrators attempting to block enforcement actions.

Some hotels are canceling or restricting bookings for federal agents, citing safety concerns.

Nurse Under Investigation for TikToks About Poisoning ICE Agents.

PULSE POINTS

âť“WHAT HAPPENED: A nurse at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Health is under investigation after posting videos online encouraging the poisoning of federal law enforcement.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The nurse, identified through a now-deleted TikTok account called Redheadredemption, VCU Health, VCU Police, and social media account LibsOfTikTok.

đź“ŤWHEN & WHERE: The videos were posted on TikTok and later shared on X, with VCU Health confirming the investigation in a statement to the media.

đź’¬KEY QUOTE: “The content of the videos is highly inappropriate and does not reflect the integrity or values of our health system.” – VCU Health

🎯IMPACT: The nurse has been placed on administrative leave; the videos have sparked widespread outrage online.

IN FULL

Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Health and the VCU Police Department are investigating after a nurse employed by the hospital system posted a series of social media videos encouraging poisoning and other covert attacks on federal law enforcement officers, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The nurse, identified through a now-deleted TikTok account under the name Redheadredemption, has been placed on administrative leave while the investigation is ongoing.

The videos, which circulated widely online after being shared by the social media account LibsOfTikTok, included suggestions for using syringes filled with saline or succinylcholine as a “deterrent,” creating poison ivy water to spray on law enforcement, and tampering with the food or drinks of ICE agents. Succinylcholine is a powerful paralytic anesthetic that causes temporary muscle paralysis.

In one video captioned “#staytoxic,” the nurse encouraged single women to use dating apps to identify ICE agents and incapacitate them using laxatives. “Single ladies, where these ICE guys are going, have a chance to do something, you know, not without risk, but could help the cause for sure,” she said. “Bring some Ex-Lax and put it in their drinks. Get them sick. You know, nobody’s going to die. Just enough to incapacitate them and get them off the street for the next day.”

She also recommended making contact with hotel staff and others responsible for serving ICE officers’ breakfast, saying, “Let’s make their lives f**kin’ miserable.”

In a statement, VCU Health said, “We prioritize the health and safety of anyone who comes to us for care. We are aware of a series of videos that appear to have been posted by an individual confirmed to be an employee of our health system.” The health system added that “the content of the videos is highly inappropriate and does not reflect the integrity or values of our health system.” Officials confirmed the employee will not be in hospital facilities or interacting with patients during the review and that VCU Police are assisting with the investigation.

The posts triggered widespread backlash, with many critics calling for the nurse’s professional license to be revoked.

Federal officials have reported sharp increases in threats and attacks against ICE officers, even as the agency continues to make arrests involving violent offenders, child predators, and armed criminals. Recent cases have also included criminal charges against individuals accused of threatening to kill ICE agents.

Mamdani-Allied, CCP-Linked Activist Group is Training Anti-ICE Rioters.

PULSE POINTS

IN FULL

The New York City-based activist group DRUM—founded by Kazi Fouzia, a radical Bangladeshi Islamist-Maoist and top ally to NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani—is holding seminars to train activists in how to physically interfere with federal agents making immigration enforcement arrests. In what the group calls a “de-arrest,” attendees of its seminar—with one recently held on January 18 in Jackson Heights, Queens—are trained in how to physically assault and remove a detainee from the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Footage obtained by the Manhattan Institute shows a mask-wearing Asian woman instructing activists on what is best described as quasi-martial arts techniques that can be used to free an individual being restrained by law enforcement. Other portions of the seminar covered actions such as “striking,” “escaping holds,” and “community defense.” Notably, an advertisement for the January 18 event prominently states that attendees would be given free pepper spray and ICE Watch kits.


The National Pulse previously reported that DRUM and its affiliate, DRUM Beats, were critical components of Mamdani’s 2025 campaign’s ground game. Concerningly, several key organizers of DRUM’s pro-Mamdani get-out-the-vote operation have close ties to the Haqooq-e-Khalq Party—a radical socialist political party in Pakistan widely considered a puppet of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Additionally, Fouzia and DRUM are also linked to Shanghai-based billionaire Neville Roy Singham, identified by a number of American media outlets as a key figure in CCP influence operations.

Renee Nicole Good, a Minneapolis woman who was fatally shot while attempting to run over an ICE agent earlier this month, took part in ICE Watch training provided through her son’s school. According to people close to Renee Good and her lesbian partner, Rebecca Good, in their Minneapolis community, she was involved with a group of activists aiming to “document and resist” immigration enforcement in Minnesota.

Criminal Illegal Who Became School Superintendent Pleads Guilty to Federal Crimes.

PULSE POINTS

âť“WHAT HAPPENED: Ian Andre Roberts, an illegal immigrant and former Des Moines Public Schools superintendent, pleaded guilty to federal charges of making false statements to gain employment and illegally possessing a firearm.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Ian Andre Roberts, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and federal prosecutors.

đź“ŤWHEN & WHERE: Roberts was arrested in September 2025 in Des Moines, Iowa; pleaded guilty on January 22, 2026; and will be sentenced on May 26, 2026.

đź’¬KEY QUOTE: “Roberts falsely stated that he was a United States citizen on employment paperwork related to his position at the Des Moines Public Schools in June 2023.” – Department of Justice

🎯IMPACT: Roberts faces up to 20 years in federal prison, highlighting failures in vetting processes for key public roles.

IN FULL

Dr. Ian Andre Roberts, an illegal immigrant from Guyana with a history of weapons-related charges who served as the Des Moines, Iowa, Public Schools superintendent, pleaded guilty on Thursday to federal charges of making false statements to gain employment in the United States and illegally possessing a firearm. The Guyana national was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents last September following an immigration judge issuing a final deportation order in May 2024.

The National Pulse previously reported that during the September arrest, Roberts reportedly fled in his vehicle when ICE agents revealed their identity, leading to a chase that ended with him abandoning his car and hiding in nearby shrubbery. He was eventually located and taken into custody with the assistance of an Iowa State Police K9 unit. At the time, ICE agents found $3,000 in cash, a hunting knife, and a loaded handgun in his city government-issued vehicle.

Shockingly, Roberts—at the time of both his deportation order and subsequent arrest—was serving as superintendent of the Des Moines Public Schools system, a position he had held since July 2023. The school board had previously praised him for his focus on “instructional excellence, diversity, equity, inclusion, and innovation in education.” He was also a registered Democrat voter, despite non-citizens being banned—on paper—from voting.

Federal prosecutors charged Roberts with making false statements to gain employment and being an illegal alien in possession of a firearm. According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), Roberts falsely claimed U.S. citizenship on employment paperwork in June 2023. Additionally, on the day of his arrest, Roberts knowingly possessed a loaded Glock pistol in his vehicle and three additional firearms at his residence.

Roberts’ criminal history includes charges for narcotics possession, forgery, reckless driving, and multiple firearm-related offenses spanning decades. He is scheduled to be sentenced on May 26, 2026, and faces up to 20 years in federal prison.
