Second Victim Dies Following Anti-ICE Shooting.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A man injured in a sniper attack at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas, Texas, has died from his injuries.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez, his wife Stephany Gauffeny, and their four children, with a fifth child expected.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The incident occurred on September 24, 2025, at a Dallas ICE facility, with Garcia-Hernandez succumbing to his injuries days later at Parkland Hospital.

💬KEY QUOTE: “My husband Miguel was a good man, a loving father, and the provider for our family,” said Stephany Gauffeny.

🎯IMPACT: The family, who had recently moved into their first home, is now left without their primary provider. The Dallas ICE field office is set to reopen with increased security.

IN FULL

Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez, 32, has died following a sniper attack on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office in Dallas, Texas, according to the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC). Garcia-Hernandez was shot at least eight times during the September 24 attack and was taken to Parkland Hospital in critical condition. He passed away after being removed from life support.

His wife, Stephany Gauffeny, described him as a “good man, a loving father, and the provider for our family.” She added, “We had just bought our first home together, and he worked hard every single day to make sure our children had what they needed. His death is a senseless tragedy that has left our family shattered. I do not know how to explain to our children that their father is gone.”

Last week, Joshua Jahns—motivated by anti-ICE sentiment and far-left ideology—opened fire on the ICE field office and a van sitting in its portico. The indiscriminate fire struck three ICE detainees, killing one and wounding others, including Garcia-Hernandez. Jahns subsequently committed suicide but left a trail of evidence regarding his radical far-left political motivations.

A third victim, Jose Andres Bordones-Molina, has been released from hospital, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The Dallas ICE field office, which serves as a temporary holding facility for detainees, is expected to reopen on Tuesday with increased security measures.

The facility reportedly held an average of 47 detainees per day between January and mid-June, with migrants spending an average of seven hours in detention, according to ICE data.

Anti-Borders Activists Indicted for Doxxing ICE Agent.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Three activists opposed to President Donald J. Trump’s immigration policies were indicted for allegedly doxxing a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Federal prosecutors, three women accused of doxxing, ICE, and Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The incident occurred in August in Los Angeles, California, with the indictment announced this month.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Our brave federal agents put their lives on the line every day to keep our nation safe. The conduct of these defendants are deeply offensive to law enforcement officers and their families,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli.

🎯IMPACT: The defendants face charges of conspiracy and publicly disclosing the personal information of a federal agent, with potential prison time if convicted.

IN FULL

Three women in Los Angeles, California, have been indicted for allegedly doxxing a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent by following him home, livestreaming him, and posting his personal information online. Federal prosecutors say the women tracked the agent from a federal building in downtown Los Angeles to his residence in Baldwin Park, where they shouted, “ICE lives on your street and you should know,” before sharing his address publicly, putting him and his family at risk from cartels and other malign actors involved in illegal immigration and trafficking.

The indictment charges the women with conspiracy and with disclosing the personal information of a federal officer. One of the accused, a 25-year-old from Panorama City, California, has been released on a $5,000 bond. Another, a 38-year-old from Aurora, Colorado, remains in custody without bond and is also facing unrelated assault charges. Authorities are still searching for the third suspect, a 37-year-old from Riverside, California.

Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli condemned their actions, saying, “Our brave federal agents put their lives on the line every day to keep our nation safe. The conduct of these defendants are deeply offensive to law enforcement officers and their families. If you threaten, dox, or harm in any manner one of our agents or employees, you will face prosecution and prison time.”

This case comes amid a series of violent anti-ICE riots in California. In June, a man named Elpidio Reyna was arrested at the U.S.–Mexico border after allegedly throwing concrete blocks at federal agents during a protest in Paramount. Authorities say Reyna fled to Mexico after the attack, which injured one officer and damaged government vehicles. He later surrendered at the San Ysidro port of entry and is now in custody. There have also been two sniper attacks targeting ICE personnel in Texas, one of which resulted in a responding police officer being shot in the neck.

Despite the tensions, ICE reports a dramatic rise in recruitment since July. According to agency data, more than 141,000 people have applied to join ICE in recent months, and over 18,000 tentative job offers have been extended. The agency attributes the increase to expanded benefits, including signing bonuses, student loan forgiveness, and enhanced retirement packages. Many former ICE officers who left under previous administrations have also reapplied.

Border Patrol, ICE Arrest Rioters, Seize Guns Amid Chicago Immigration Crackdown.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Border Patrol agents and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers are conducting an immigration crackdown operation in downtown Chicago, and taking on violent and in some cases armed far-left rioters.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Border Patrol agents, ICE officers, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D), Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D), illegal immigrants, and far-left agitators.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The operation, named “Midway Blitz,” began on September 8 and included activity in downtown Chicago, including the River North neighborhood on Sunday morning.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I would say the majority are actually glad we’re here. They are congratulating us, saying, ‘It’s about time you’re here.’ Especially those inner-city residents here in Chicago are very glad we’re here.” – Gregory Bovino, Border Patrol Commander-at-Large

🎯IMPACT: The enforcement action has attracted significant demonstrations by violent, far-left protesters and rioters—especially around the ICE detention facility in Broadview, a western suburb of Chicago.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump’s “Midway Blitz” immigration enforcement action is pressing on in Chicago, with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol agents making numerous arrests since the operation began on September 8. The enforcement action has drawn significant counter-protests by violent, far-left demonstrators—especially around the ICE detention facility in Broadview, a western suburb of Chicago.

“[Eleven] violent rioters were arrested last night in Chicago outside the ICE detention facility: These are two guns that were taken off rioters in Chicago right against the fence at our ICE detention facility,” the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) wrote in post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday. “An investigation is underway into what appears to be some sort of explosive device found last night near the ICE Chicago detention facility.”

Last Friday in Broadview, far-left activists —wearing gas masks and bandanas to obscure their faces—swarmed a DHS vehicle and attempted to block ICE agents from exiting the detention facility. In the latter case, a federal law enforcement agent fired tear gas to disperse them.

Despite the violent demonstrations, Illinois Democrats are, by and large, defending the anti-ICE political violence. Governor J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) has led the Democrat attacks, writing in a post on X,  “The Trump Administration’s DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks. This is not making anybody safer—it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses. We cannot normalize militarizing American cities and suburbs. Make sure you know your rights and stay alert.”

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) has also stoked anti-ICE sentiment, stating that residents “are being intimidated and threatened by masked federal agents flaunting automatic weapons for no apparent reason.”

However, Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino has pushed back against Johnson’s claims, stating, “I would say the majority are actually glad we’re here. They are congratulating us, saying, ‘It’s about time you’re here.’ Especially those inner-city residents here in Chicago are very glad we’re here, because oftentimes they’re up against that vast illegal migration that took place over the past four years. They’re the ones dealing with the violence perpetrated by illegal aliens.”

Trump White House: Michigan Church Shooter Motivated by Hatred for Mormons.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A gunman killed four people and injured eight at a Mormon church in Michigan before being killed in an exchange of gunfire with police.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The suspect was identified as 40-year-old Thomas Jacob Sanford, a former Marine from Burton, Michigan.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The attack occurred on Sunday at a church in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan.

💬KEY QUOTE: “From what I understand based on my conversation with the FBI director, all they know right now is that this was an individual who hated people of the Mormon faith,” said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

🎯IMPACT: The attack has raised questions about the motive and planning, with federal authorities investigating the targeting of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

IN FULL

The deadly attack on a Mormon church in Michigan on Sunday that saw four killed and eight injured was motivated by the perpetrator’s hatred of Mormonism, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. Thomas Jacob Sanford, a 40-year-old former Marine from Burton, Michigan, has been identified by authorities as the gunman, with Sanford being neutralized by police at the scene.

“From what I understand based on my conversation with the FBI director, all they know right now is that this was an individual who hated people of the Mormon faith,” Leavitt said during a televised interview on Monday morning. “They are trying to understand more about this, how premeditated it was, how much planning went into it, whether he left a note, all of those questions are yet to be answered, but certainly will be answered by the FBI.”


Leavitt did not reveal whether the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had indicated whether Sanford had a personal connection to the church or specific members. According to police, Sanford drove his truck into the church in Grand Blanc Township before opening fire on hundreds attending the Mormon service. He is also believed to have set the building on fire using an accelerant. A bomb squad was dispatched after improvised explosive devices were discovered at the crime scene.

The Michigan shooting is the second violent attack targeting Christians in the U.S. in just over a month. On August 27, anti-Trump transgender Robin Westman, previously Robert, opened fire at a back-to-school Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which claimed the lives of two young children and left at least 17 others wounded. Westman killed himself at the scene.

Mormonism has long been the subject of religious persecution and targeted violence. Between May 1857 and July 1858, Mormon settlers and U.S. federal government troops faced off in the then-Utah territory in what is known as the Utah War. The conflict, sparked by Mormon fears that federal troops had been sent to forcibly remove them, stemmed in part from Missouri Governor Lilburn Boggs’s (D) issuance of Missouri Executive Order 44, known as the Mormon Extermination Order, in 1838.

The order directed General John Bullock Clark and Missouri’s state militia to forcibly expel Mormons from the state. Notably, Boggs’s order remained on the books until it was formally rescinded in 1976.

U.S. Plans Military Strikes on Drug Traffickers INSIDE Venezuela.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: U.S. military officials are considering air strikes targeting drug traffickers inside Venezuela, potentially beginning in a matter of weeks.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Donald J. Trump, U.S. military officials, Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, and intermediaries from allied nations.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Discussions are ongoing, with possible strikes in Venezuela in the coming weeks.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Venezuela is sending us their gang members, their drug dealers, and drugs. It’s not acceptable.” – President Donald Trump

🎯IMPACT: Potential escalation in U.S. military operations against drug trafficking and increased pressure on Venezuela’s leadership.

IN FULL

The U.S. military is reportedly preparing plans to strike drug traffickers within Venezuela, with operations potentially beginning in a few weeks. This development comes as part of the Trump administration’s intensified focus on combating drug trafficking and addressing its concerns with the Venezuelan government under dictator Nicolás Maduro.

In recent weeks, U.S. forces have already targeted Venezuelan vessels involved in drug trafficking. President Donald J.  Trump announced these actions on Truth Social and directed a larger contingent of U.S. air and naval power to be deployed to the Caribbean. Dominican Republic officials confirmed that drugs were recovered after one such strike.

The proposed plans reportedly include drone strikes targeting drug labs and leadership within trafficking organizations. Discussions also highlight frustrations with Maduro’s perceived failure to curb illegal drug flows out of Venezuela. Trump has repeatedly argued, “Venezuela is sending us their gang members, their drug dealers, and drugs. It’s not acceptable.”

A significant number of U.S. military aircraft have been moved to Puerto Rico, signaling readiness for further operations. However, prolonged deployments could strain other military commitments.

The Trump administration has not ruled out regime change as a potential outcome of its strategy, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly advocating for increased pressure on Maduro. Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts continue, with intermediaries facilitating discussions between the U.S. and Venezuela. Maduro has denied involvement in drug trafficking and has accused the U.S. of attempting to undermine his government.

School District Superintendent Is Illegal Migrant Now Detained by ICE.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested the Superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools, an illegal alien with a prior weapons arrest who fled from officers.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Dr. Ian Andre Roberts, an illegal alien from Guyana, ICE agents, and Iowa State Patrol.

📍WHEN & WHERE: September 26, 2025, in Des Moines, Iowa.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This should be a wake-up call for our communities to the great work that our officers are doing every day to remove public safety threats.” – Sam Olson, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) St. Paul Field Office Director.

🎯IMPACT: Roberts’s arrest raises concerns over hiring practices and public safety in Des Moines Public Schools.

IN FULL

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have apprehended Dr. Ian Andre Roberts, the Superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools, after he was identified as an illegal alien from Guyana with a history of weapons-related charges. The arrest took place during a targeted enforcement operation.

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.

During the arrest, agents discovered a loaded Glock 19, a fixed-blade hunting knife, and $3,000 in cash in Roberts’s vehicle. The presence of these items has prompted an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), as federal law prohibits individuals without legal status from possessing firearms and ammunition.

Roberts, who entered the U.S. on a student visa in 1999, had been ordered to be removed from the country in May 2024. Despite this, he continued to serve as the Superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools without proper work authorization.

Sam Olson, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) St. Paul Field Office Director, expressed concern over how Roberts was hired despite his illegal status and prior charges, emphasizing the importance of federal officers’ ongoing efforts to ensure public safety.

Fugitive Black Liberation Army Terrorist Assata Shakur Dies in Cuba.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Joanne Chesimard, convicted of the 1973 murder of a New Jersey state trooper, has died in Havana, Cuba, decades after escaping U.S. custody and receiving asylum from Cuba’s communist regime.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Joanne Chesimard, a.k.a. Assata Shakur, the Communist Party of Cuba, New Jersey officials, and the family of slain State Trooper Werner Foerster.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Chesimard passed away on September 25, 2025, in Havana, Cuba. Her crimes and escape date back to the 1970s.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Sadly, it appears she has passed without being held fully accountable for her heinous crimes.” – New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy (D) and NJ State Police Superintendent Colonel Patrick Callahan.

🎯IMPACT: Chesimard’s death refocuses attention on Cuba’s harboring of U.S. fugitives and the denial of justice to Trooper Werner Foerster’s family.

IN FULL

Cuban officials announced Friday that radical black nationalist Joanne Chesimard, also known as Assata Shakur, has died in Havana. Chesimard had been convicted in 1977 of the murder of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster during a 1973 shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike. She escaped from prison in 1979 and fled to Cuba, where she was granted asylum by the communist regime in 1984.

The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed her death, stating, “On September 25, 2025, American citizen Joanne Deborah Byron, ‘Assata Shakur,’ passed away in Havana, Cuba, due to health conditions and advanced age.” U.S. officials, including New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy (D), expressed frustration that Chesimard evaded justice for decades. “For years, we have worked with the State Department to bring Chesimard back to New Jersey, so she could face justice for the cold-blooded murder of an American hero,” Murphy and NJ State Police Superintendent Colonel Patrick Callahan said in a joint statement.

Chesimard, a member of the Black Liberation Army, was added to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Most Wanted Terrorists List in 2013. The FBI described the group as “one of the most violent militant organizations of the 1970s.” A $1 million reward for her capture had been offered by both the FBI and the New Jersey Attorney General’s office.

The death of Trooper Werner Foerster, who left behind a wife and young son, remains a deeply painful memory for his family and colleagues. “We mourn Trooper Foerster’s loss every day, and we extend our deepest sympathies to his widow, Rosie, their son, Eric, and the entire New Jersey State Police family,” Murphy and Callahan stated. They also emphasized their opposition to any repatriation of Chesimard’s remains to the U.S.

The Cuban government has long refused to extradite Chesimard and other U.S. fugitives, drawing criticism from Trump administration figures like Secretary of State Marco Rubio. “The Cuban regime continues to provide a safe haven for terrorists and criminals, including fugitives from the United States,” Rubio said earlier this year.

The State Department echoed this sentiment, stating, “On behalf of her victims, we regret that the Cuban dictatorship for decades protected this fugitive and prevented her from facing justice in our nation.”

Week-Long NY Immigration Crackdown Nets Criminal Illegals.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Buffalo, New York, arrested 35 criminal aliens and immigration violators during a weeklong enforcement operation in Central New York.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, criminal aliens, and immigration violators.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The arrests occurred from September 14-19 across Central New York.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Under President Trump’s leadership, we are once again a nation of laws.” – Joseph Freden, Acting Field Office Director, ICE Buffalo ERO.

🎯IMPACT: The operation targeted individuals with violent criminal histories, enhancing public safety in the region.

IN FULL

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Buffalo, New York, arrested 35 criminal illegal immigrants across Central New York during a weeklong enforcement blitz. The operation, taking place between September 14 and 19, is part of a national effort to restore immigration integrity and remove individuals described as the “worst of the worst” from American communities.

“Despite a historic increase in assaults against ICE law enforcement by violent lunatics, our brave officers remain dedicated to fulfilling their Congressionally mandated mission to enhance public safety by removing criminal illegal aliens from our communities in Western, Central and Upstate New York,” said ICE Buffalo Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) acting Field Office Director Joseph Freden, adding: “Under President Trump’s leadership, we are once again a nation of laws.”

The arrests included individuals with violent criminal histories. Among those detained were Kleber Palacios-Condo, a 27-year-old Ecuadorian with convictions for weapons possession and DUI, and Janson Daniel Chourio-Camejo, a 27-year-old Venezuelan with a record including burglary and robbery. Others arrested included Ivis Orlando Maldonado-Cabrera, a 44-year-old Honduran with a history of robbery, and Jaime Lojano-Villa, a 33-year-old Ecuadorian with a DUI conviction and a final order of removal.

Earlier in September, ICE officers also arrested two violent sex offenders and a convicted murderer. On September 4, Edgar Rene Gonzalez-Gonzalez, a Guatemalan illegal alien convicted of sexual abuse in the sanctuary city of New York, was detained. That same day, ICE arrested Jeffrey Gervacio-Perez, a Mexican illegal alien convicted of rape in Goshen, New York. On September 3, Lao Sihathep, a convicted killer who had been ordered removed from the U.S. over 25 years ago, was also apprehended and now faces deportation to Laos.

ICE officials emphasized that their mission prioritizes public safety and national security threats. They stated, “Any individual illegally present in the United States who is encountered during an immigration enforcement operation may be taken into custody and processed for removal as stated by law. It comes down to one question: Is this person violating our nation’s immigration laws? If the answer is yes, we’re going to remove them.”

House Investigates Uber Over Unreported Sexual Assaults.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A House oversight subcommittee has launched an inquiry into Uber’s handling of sexual assault and misconduct incidents on its platform.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC), Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, Uber drivers, sexual assault victims, and ride-share service users.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The inquiry was announced on Wednesday, September 24, 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The disparity between previously disclosed data and recent reporting raises concerns about the accuracy and completeness of safety data,” said Rep. Nancy Mace.

🎯IMPACT: The inquiry highlights a significant safety concern for ride-sharing users and may lead to increased scrutiny and regulatory changes for Uber.

IN FULL

The House Oversight Subcommittee for Cybersecurity has launched an inquiry into ride-share giant Uber‘s response to sexual assault allegations and misconduct cases against the company’s drivers. A recent investigation found that the frequency of such incidents is far greater than what Uber has publicly acknowledged.

Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC), who chairs the subcommittee, addressed a letter to Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, questioning the company’s methods for identifying, responding to, and disclosing these incidents. The inquiry underscores a persistent safety issue for those using ride-sharing services.

“The volume of incidents uncovered by recent reporting indicates a persistent safety hazard for those who rely on ride sharing for transportation and highlights a need for enhanced and expanded safety tools to better prevent sexual assault and misconduct,” Mace wrote, adding: ” The disparity between previously disclosed data and recent reporting raises concerns about the accuracy and completeness of safety data.”

Notably, the recent independent investigation revealed that between 2017 and 2022, Uber received reports of sexual assault or misconduct on average every eight minutes, totaling 400,181 incidents in the U.S. alone. Previously, Uber had only disclosed 12,522 serious sexual assault cases during that period.

In response, Uber spokesman Matt Kallman stated, “We appreciate the opportunity to meet with subcommittee staff to share more about Uber’s leading technology, strong policies and expert partnerships that prioritize women’s safety.”

The company claims that 99.9 percent of trips occur without incident and that many reports are less serious or potentially fraudulent. Nevertheless, Uber faces over 3,000 lawsuits related to sexual misconduct, while its competitor Lyft is dealing with hundreds of similar cases.

Trump DOJ Set to Begin Criminal Investigations Into Soros-Linked Groups.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A senior Justice Department (DOJ) official directed U.S. attorneys’ offices to draft plans to investigate groups funded by billionaire plutocrat George Soros.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The DOJ, Attorney General Pam Bondi, U.S. attorneys, President Donald J. Trump, George Soros, the Open Society Foundations, and violent leftist protestors.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The directive was issued on Monday to U.S. attorneys’ offices in California, New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Detroit, and Maryland, among others.

🎯IMPACT: Possible charges including racketeering, arson, wire fraud, and material support for terrorism.

IN FULL

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is assigning more than a half dozen U.S. attorneys to begin laying the groundwork for investigations into far-left nonprofits and political groups funded by billionaire Democrat mega-donor George Soros, including the Open Society Foundations (OSF). A directive issued to the U.S. attorney’s offices by senior DOJ officials instructs investigators to identify specific individuals and groups who may have violated the law for further investigation—with possible charges including racketeering, arson, wire fraud, and material support for terrorism.

Notably, the move follows a series of posts on Truth Social written by President Donald J. Trump pressing Attorney General Pam Bondi to begin investigations into a number of current and former state and federal officials responsible for the Russia hoax and the Joe Biden-era lawfare campaigns against him. The officials include New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) and Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA). The National Pulse reported on Wednesday that former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director James Comey could soon face a grand jury indictment for lying to Congress.

The investigations into Soros-tied organizations and individuals come in the wake of an explosion in far-left political violence in the United States over the past year. On September 10, Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated, allegedly by 22-year-old leftist Tyler Robinson, while he spoke at Utah Valley University. Meanwhile, 29-year-old leftist Joshua Jahns opened fire on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday, spraying the facility with bullets and causing the death of an illegal immigrant detainee.

Soros-backed groups have been accused of funding violent anti-ICE demonstrations, with leftist “protests” in Portland taking the form of a “siege” of an illegal immigrant detention facility. Violent protests have also broken out in Los Angeles and Chicago, with leftist demonstrators attacking federal immigration officials and law enforcement.
