Pirro Charges Two Teens with Murder in Shooting Death of Congressional Intern.

PULSE POINTS

âť“WHAT HAPPENED: Two teenagers have been charged with first-degree murder and will be tried as adults for the killing of a congressional intern, with a third suspect still at large.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: D.C. United States Attorney Jeanine Pirro, Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, a 21-year-old intern for Rep. Ron Estes (R-Kan.), and two teenage suspects charged in the case.

đź“ŤWHEN & WHERE: The incident occurred on June 30, 2025, about a mile northeast of the White House in Washington, D.C.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Eric didn’t deserve to be gunned down, and the system failed him — the system that felt that juveniles needed to be coddled.” – Jeanine Pirro

🎯IMPACT: The case highlights concerns over juvenile crime in the nation’s capital and calls for tougher accountability measures.

IN FULL

Jeanine Pirro, the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, has announced first-degree murder charges for two teenagers arrested in the shooting death of a congressional intern in June. According to Pirro, the teenage suspects will be tried as adults. A third suspect remains at large.

Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, 21, was shot and killed on June 30 in a drive-by shooting about a mile northeast of the White House. Authorities have stated he was not the intended target of the attack. Tarpinian-Jachym and a female victim were both hit by bullets when three teenagers opened fire on two other teens believed to be riding bicycles.

“Eric didn’t deserve to be gunned down, and the system failed him—the system that felt that juveniles needed to be coddled,” Pirro stated. “It’s bad… to be gunned down on any street, but to be gunned down in our nation’s capital is an outrage.”

Tarpinian-Jachym was a rising senior at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in the Isenberg School of Management and was working as an intern for Rep. Ron Estes (R-KS) at the time of his death. Following the deadly shooting and several other violent incidents, President Donald J. Trump moved to federalize the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and deployed National Guard units in an effort to restore public order. Subsequently, the city has experienced a meteoric decline in both violent and petty crime.

Pirro criticized local policies, saying, “The D.C. Council thinks that these kids need to be protected. They don’t need to be protected. They need to be made accountable, and we need to be protected… This killing underscores why we need the authority to prosecute these younger kids, because they’re not kids, they’re criminals.”

Former State Dept Official Gets Four Years for Spying for China.

PULSE POINTS

âť“WHAT HAPPENED: A State Department employee was sentenced to four years in prison for selling national defense secrets to people he believed were working for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Michael Charles Schena, 42, of Alexandria, Virginia, and people he believed to be Chinese government agents.

đź“ŤWHEN & WHERE: Schena’s espionage activity began in April 2022, culminating in his arrest in February 2025. Key incidents occurred in the United States and during a meeting in Peru.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The defendant threw away his career, betrayed his country, and abused the trust the United States placed in him by granting his Top-Secret security clearance.” – Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg

🎯IMPACT: The case highlights the dangers of insider threats and serves as a warning to those who might consider betraying their country for personal gain.

IN FULL

A State Department employee, Michael Charles Schena, 42, of Alexandria, Virginia, has been sentenced to four years in prison for conspiring to collect and transmit national defense information to individuals he believed to be working for the Chinese government, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). Schena began his espionage activities in April 2022, communicating with people he met online who claimed to be employees of international consulting companies.

Despite clear indications that these people were working on behalf of the Chinese government, Schena continued to provide them with sensitive government information in exchange for money. In August 2024, Schena met with one of these individuals at a hotel in Peru, where he was given $10,000 and a cellphone to facilitate further exchanges.

Using this cellphone, Schena took photographs of classified documents marked as SECRET while at work and transmitted at least four of these documents in October 2024. In February, he used the phone again to photograph seven additional classified documents, an act that was captured by surveillance video.

Before Schena could transmit the latest photographs, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents seized the cellphone and arrested him. The DOJ said that Schena’s actions represented a significant betrayal of trust and a violation of his Top-Secret security clearance.

Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg stated, “The defendant threw away his career, betrayed his country, and abused the trust the United States placed in him by granting his Top-Secret security clearance. He will spend years of his life in prison for passing classified information to individuals he believed to be Chinese government agents. Today’s sentence serves as a warning to those who would violate the trust placed in them by our Nation and double-cross the American people.”

FBI Confiscated Phones, Computers in Raid on Bolton’s Residence.

PULSE POINTS

âť“WHAT HAPPENED: Documents reveal the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) seized phones, computer equipment, and documents from John Bolton’s home during an investigation into potential mishandling of classified information.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: John Bolton, the neoconservative former White House national security adviser, and the FBI.

đź“ŤWHEN & WHERE: The search occurred last month at Bolton’s home in Bethesda, Maryland, and his office in Washington, D.C.

🎯IMPACT: The investigation highlights concerns over the mishandling of classified information by former officials with a grudge against President Trump, and has drawn public interest due to Bolton’s high-profile role during the first Trump administration.

IN FULL

Court records unsealed Thursday reveal that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) seized phones, computer equipment, and various documents from the home of John Bolton, a former White House national security adviser in the first Trump administration. The investigation, which surfaced publicly last month when federal law enforcement raided Bolton’s home and office, revolves around allegations of mishandling classified information.

The search took place at Bolton’s Bethesda, Maryland, residence and his office in Washington, D.C. Documents made public include a search warrant inventory detailing the confiscation of multiple phones, computer equipment, four boxes of daily printed activities, a white box labeled “statements and reflections to allied strikes,” and typed documents labeled “Trump I-IV.”

The court filings cite two criminal statutes related to the unauthorized removal and retention of classified materials, as well as the transmission or loss of defense information. Despite the investigation, no charges had been filed against Bolton as of the time of publication.

A coalition of news organizations successfully lobbied a judge to unseal the records, arguing that the public interest in the case outweighed the need for continued secrecy. However, the documents do remain partially redacted.

Bolton, who served as national security adviser in President Donald J. Trump‘s first administration for 17 months before being dismissed in 2019, has not commented publicly on the investigation. Known for his criticism of Trump’s foreign policy, the longtime war hawk detailed his disagreements with the America First leader in a book titled The Room Where It Happened.

Governor Welcomes Trump’s Plan for Troops in Crime-Ridden Dem City.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Governor Jeff Landry (R) welcomed President Donald J. Trump’s suggestion of deploying the National Guard to Democrat-run New Orleans, Louisiana, to crush crime.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Trump, Governor Landry, the City of New Orleans, and the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD).

đź“ŤWHEN & WHERE: Trump’s comments were made on Wednesday during a White House press conference, with responses from Landry and others following.

đź’¬KEY QUOTE: “We will take President Donald Trump’s help from New Orleans to Shreveport!” – Governor Jeff Landry.

🎯IMPACT: A federal crackdown in New Orleans, similar to the one in Washington, D.C., could substantially reduce crime.

IN FULL

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry (R) is expressing support for President Donald J. Trump’s proposal to send the National Guard to Democrat-run New Orleans to crush crime. “We will take President Donald Trump’s help from New Orleans to Shreveport!” Landry said in response to Trump’s comments during a White House press conference on Wednesday.

Trump mentioned New Orleans as one of the cities under consideration for federal assistance, saying, “We’re making a determination now. Do we go to Chicago or do we go to a place like New Orleans, where we have a great governor, Jeff Landry, who wants us to straighten out a very nice section of this country?”

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell, a Democrat who was indicted by a federal grand jury on corruption charges last month, shared a muted statement from the city, which did not explicitly endorse or reject Trump’s suggestion but acknowledged that federal and state partnerships are important for ensuring public safety, particularly during major events.

While federal law enforcement assistance appears to face little resistance in New Orleans, the same cannot be said for other Democrat-controlled localities. Democrats in Chicago, Illinois, and Los Angeles, California, have vowed to oppose federal interventions in their cities. Meanwhile, the Portland Police Department in Oregon appears to have entirely abdicated its law enforcement duties in about a four-block radius around a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility, failing to dispatch officers even in instances of assault by anti-ICE rioters in the area.

Trump DOJ Considering Gun Restrictions for Transgenders: Report.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Justice (DOJ) is considering imposing restrictions that would prevent those undergoing gender transition or diagnosed with gender dysphoria from purchasing firearms.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The DOJ, gun owners, and transgenders.

📍WHEN & WHERE:  DOJ discussions were revealed on Thursday, September 4, 2025, after a mass shooting at a Catholic mass in Minnesota, carried out by a transgender gunman.

đź’¬KEY QUOTE: “Individuals within the DOJ are reviewing ways to ensure that mentally ill individuals suffering from gender dysphoria are unable to obtain firearms while they are unstable and unwell.” — DOJ Official

🎯IMPACT: The DOJ could move to extend restrictions on gun ownership for the mentally ill to include those who identify as transgender or who are diagnosed with gender dysphoria.

IN FULL

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is considering imposing restrictions that would prevent those undergoing gender transition or diagnosed with gender dysphoria from purchasing firearms. Notably, the potential legal restrictions come in the wake of anti-Trump transgender Robin Westman’s deadly attack on a back-to-school Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last week.

Reportedly, the DOJ is discussing internally whether to extend restrictions that bar certain mentally ill people from owning firearms to those with gender dysphoria, which is itself classified as a mental disorder. A DOJ source, speaking with the media, explained: “Individuals within the DOJ are reviewing ways to ensure that mentally ill individuals suffering from gender dysphoria are unable to obtain firearms while they are unstable and unwell.”

Officially, the DOJ is not commenting on the deliberations, with a spokesman only saying that the agency is considering a “range of options.” However, the deadly church shooting in Minnesota last week has sparked a public debate about new restrictions, especially in light of the fact that a number of recent mass shootings were perpetrated by individuals with gender dysphoria or who identified as transgender.

Meanwhile, the Trump White House is believed to be updating its national security strategy to include guidance regarding transgender violence. In January this year, A U.S. Border Patrol officer in Vermont was murdered by two people with ties to a militant transgender extremist group called the “Zizians.” In February, the leader of the “Zizians”— Jack LaSota, a 34-year-old man who identifies as a transgender woman under the alias Andrea Phelps—was arrested in Maryland’s western backcountry.

LaSota had been on the run since he skipped a December trial. Previously, he faked his death to duck prosecution and was even declared deceased in San Mateo County, California.

President Donald J. Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was also the target of an assassination plot in January, with the suspect revealed to identify as transgender. Ryan Michael English, also known as Riley Jane, admitted to police that he wanted to kill Treasury Secretary Bessent.

The National Pulse reported last Thursday that Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had announced an investigation into whether psychiatric medication is contributing to the rise in mass shootings, especially those perpetrated by transgender individuals. “I certainly consider mass shootings a health crisis, and we are doing for the first time real studies to find out what the ideology of that is. And we’re looking for the first time at psychiatric drugs,” Kennedy stated.

Two-Tier Justice: No Prison for Migrant Who Sexually Assaulted White Teen.

PULSE POINTS

âť“WHAT HAPPENED: A migrant who sexually assaulted a 17-year-old girl in England, saying, “I’ve never been this close to a white woman,” has been spared prison.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Moffat Konofilia, a 48-year-old migrant, and a 17-year-old girl.

đź“ŤWHEN & WHERE: December 2023, Weymouth Beach in Dorset, England.

đź’¬KEY QUOTE: “I’ve never been this close to a white woman,” said Konofilia before assaulting his victim.

🎯IMPACT: The migrant was sentenced to an 18-month community order, sparking public anger and strengthening concerns over two-tier justice in Britain, with judges having recently handed heavy prison sentences to social media users like Lucy Connolly for posts critical of asylum seekers.

IN FULL

Moffat Konofilia, a 48-year-old migrant, has been spared prison in England after sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl on Weymouth Beach in Dorset. The attack took place in December 2023 while Konofilia was residing on the Bibby Stockholm migrant barge.

The court heard that Konofilia approached the teenager, complimented her skin, and made the comment, “I’ve never been this close to a white woman.” He then followed her to the beach, where he kissed her twice on the lips without her consent. He later pursued her into an ally, but she managed to allude him. The victim stated, “I felt intimidated, and his actions were sexually motivated. It had an impact on my existing anxiety and feelings of being safe.”

Prosecutor Robert Salame detailed how the girl recorded part of the encounter on her phone after becoming uncomfortable. Konofilia, who had been drinking, initially claimed the girl was 18 and denied kissing her, stating he only put an arm around her to comfort her.

The court handed Konofilia a proverbial slap on the wrist, in the form of an 18-month community order, including 60 hours of unpaid work, 26 rehabilitation activity days, and a 100-day alcohol abstinence monitoring tag. His lenient treatment contrasts starkly with that of people like Lucy Connolly, who received heavy prison sentences for sharing social media posts critical of asylum seekers in the wake of a mass stabbing in Southport by a migration-background teenager.

The generosity shown to Konofilia appears certain to reinforce the public’s growing belief that a two-tier justice system is in operation, with ethnic and religious minorities favored and white people disfavored, especially if they have right-wing views.

During the proceedings, Konofilia feigned gratitude to the British people, saying, “Thank you for looking after me.”

CBP Seizes $238K of Narcotics at Border Pass.

PULSE POINTS

âť“WHAT HAPPENED: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers in Eagle Pass, Texas, seized over $238,000 worth of narcotics during a single enforcement action.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: CBP officers, a 46-year-old Mexican man, and the Maverick County Sheriff’s Office.

đź“ŤWHEN & WHERE: August 31, 2025, at the Camino Real International Bridge in Eagle Pass, Texas.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This significant seizure was possible because of the continued vigilance and alertness our CBP officers put forth on a daily basis.” – Pete Beattie, Port Director, Eagle Pass Port of Entry

🎯IMPACT: The seizure underscores CBP’s ongoing role in protecting U.S. borders and preventing the flow of dangerous narcotics into the country.

IN FULL

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at Eagle Pass Port of Entry in Texas seized more than $238,000 in narcotics in a single enforcement action over the weekend. The seizure took place on August 31 at the Camino Real International Bridge.

A CBP officer referred a 2025 Nissan Frontier, driven by a 46-year-old Mexican man, for secondary inspection. During this examination, which included the use of a CBP canine and nonintrusive inspection technology, officers discovered packages hidden within the liner of a cooler. The packages contained 22.7 pounds of methamphetamine and 2.3 pounds of cocaine, with an estimated street value of $238,915.

CBP officers seized the narcotics and the vehicle. The Maverick County Sheriff’s Office arrested the driver and launched a criminal investigation.

“This significant seizure was possible because of the continued vigilance and alertness our CBP officers put forth on a daily basis,” said Pete Beattie, Port Director at Eagle Pass Port of Entry.

The seizure occurred just days before the U.S. military executed a strike against Tren de Aragua (TdA), designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) by President Donald J. Trump, in international waters. The strike, which took place on Tuesday in the southern Caribbean, resulted in the deaths of 11 drug traffickers.

Rubio Backs Trump Strikes on Narco-Terrorists, Says More Are Coming.

PULSE POINTS

âť“WHAT HAPPENED: Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the Trump administration is intensifying its efforts against drug cartels by targeting them before they reach U.S. soil.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Donald J. Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and cartels and crime syndicates designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs), including Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua.

đź“ŤWHEN & WHERE: Recent press conference in Mexico and ongoing operations in the Southern Caribbean Sea near Venezuela.

💬KEY QUOTE: “What will stop them is when you blow them up. You get rid of them.” – Marco Rubio

🎯IMPACT: The U.S. has launched a new offensive against narco-terrorist organizations, signaling a shift in strategy to preemptively strike cartel operations.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump’s administration is intensifying its approach to combating international drug trafficking, shifting focus from interception at the U.S. border to proactive military action abroad. Secretary of State Marco Rubio outlined the new strategy during a press conference in Mexico, stating that the United States will now strike drug traffickers before they reach American soil.

“Interdiction doesn’t work because these drug cartels, what they do is they know they’re going to lose two percent of their cargo. They bake it into their economics,” Rubio said. “What will stop them is when you blow them up. You get rid of them.”

Rubio referenced a recent military operation in which U.S. intelligence tracked a drug boat associated with the Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua. “Instead of interdicting it, on the President’s orders, we blew it up, and it will happen again. Maybe it’s happening right now, I don’t know,” he said. The strike was carried out in the Southern Caribbean and resulted in the deaths of 11 traffickers. No U.S. personnel were harmed.

President Trump later confirmed the military action and warned drug traffickers: “Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America. BEWARE!”

The move follows the deployment of U.S. military forces to waters near Venezuela, a country the administration accuses of harboring and supporting hostile criminal networks. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who is under a $50 million U.S. bounty for alleged cartel connections, condemned the strike and called it “the biggest threat” to regional stability in a century.

In addition to military actions, Trump has legally escalated his anti-cartel policy. In early 2025, he signed an executive order designating multiple transnational criminal groups, including the Sinaloa Cartel, Jalisco New Generation Cartel, MS-13, and Tren de Aragua, as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs). This designation took effect in February and marked a historic shift in how the U.S. classifies and targets cartels.

Trump also attempted to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to authorize the detention and deportation of cartel members in the U.S., particularly those linked to Tren de Aragua. A federal court later ruled that the application of the law was unlawful, but this may be appealed, and removals continue under separate laws.

The Trump administration’s aggressive posture follows a series of violent cartel incidents, including a January firefight in Starr County, Texas, where Mexican cartel operatives opened fire on U.S. Border Patrol agents. Officials described the encounter as part of a growing trend of cross-border attacks.

Trump Floats Military Deployment to Crush Crime in Democrat Stronghold.

PULSE POINTS

âť“WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump suggested deploying federal troops to New Orleans, Louisiana, to address crime in the Democrat stronghold.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Donald J. Trump, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry (R), and New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell (D).

đź“ŤWHEN & WHERE: Comments made September 3 in the Oval Office, referencing New Orleans and other cities.

đź’¬KEY QUOTE: “We’re going to be going to maybe Louisiana, and you have New Orleans, which has a crime problem. We’ll straighten that out in about two weeks.” – Donald Trump

🎯IMPACT: A Washington, D.C.-style federal crackdown in New Orleans could achieve a similarly dramatic decrease in crime.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump has floated the idea of deploying federal troops to New Orleans in response to rising crime in the city, similar to his ongoing federal crackdown on crime in Washington, D.C. Speaking from the Oval Office on September 3, Trump said, “We’re going to be going to maybe Louisiana, and you have New Orleans, which has a crime problem. We’ll straighten that out in about two weeks. It’ll take us two weeks, easier than D.C.”

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, a Republican, welcomed the proposal, posting a clip of Trump’s remarks on X (formerly Twitter) and writing, “We will take President [Donald Trump’s] help from New Orleans to Shreveport!”

While Republicans control the state government in Louisiana, New Orleans is a Democratic stronghold, voting for former Vice President Kamala Harris by over 80 percent in 2024 and electing Democrat LaToya Cantrell as Mayor.

Trump has previously used federal law enforcement and National Guard troops to address violent crime and civil unrest in major cities. In Washington, D.C., he recently federalized the Metropolitan Police Department for 30 days and deployed Guardsmen and federal law enforcement personnel to assist them, a move that saw more than 700 arrests and a sharp drop in violent crime.

A recent poll found that most voters supported the D.C. crackdown, with 54 percent calling it “justified and necessary.” Support was especially strong among Republicans, but nearly half of independents and even over a quarter of Democrats agreed with the move. Trump has said similar strategies could soon be rolled out in cities like other Democrat-run crime hotspots like Chicago and New York.

Earlier this year, Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles, California, during pro-illegal immigrant riots faced legal challenges, with lawyers for Governor Gavin Newsom (D) arguing it violated laws limiting military involvement in domestic law enforcement. The matter is still being fought out in the courts.

Dem-Run Town Refusing to Help ICE Catch Fugitive Child Rapist: Report.

PULSE POINTS

âť“WHAT HAPPENED: The Liberal Police Department in Kansas has reportedly refused to assist in locating an illegal immigrant fugitive wanted for child rape if U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is involved in the case.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Democrat Mayor Jose Lara, fugitive Guatemalan illegal alien Juan Ralios-Batz, the Liberal Police Department, U.S. Marshals, and federal agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE.

đź“ŤWHEN & WHERE: The case is ongoing in Liberal, Kansas, with connections to Nebraska. The crimes occurred over the past two years.

🎯IMPACT: The refusal to cooperate with ICE could hinder efforts to capture a foreign fugitive wanted for heinous crimes, raising concerns about public safety and immigration law enforcement.

IN FULL

The local police department in Liberal, Kansas, has stated it will no longer assist a U.S. Marshals Task Force in locating an illegal immigrant fugitive wanted for the rape and impregnation of a teenage minor if U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) becomes involved in the investigation. The fugitive, Juan Ralios-Batz, a Guatemalan national believed to be 40 years old, is accused of repeatedly raping a female 13-year-old unaccompanied alien child (UAC) over two years.

Liberal Mayor Jose Lara (D) reportedly has a history of opposing federal immigration enforcement. Federal sources now say he has barred the Liberal Police Department from working with ICE in any capacity.

Notably, the teenage victim in the case—who authorities believe may have been trafficked into the U.S.—was impregnated by Ralios-Batz. The minor crossed into the U.S. illegally under the Biden government after being sponsored by the fugitive’s sister.

Ralios-Batz is wanted on multiple charges, including three counts of child rape, aggravated kidnapping, human trafficking, and child abuse. Federal sources disclosed that he unlawfully reentered the U.S. after a previous deportation, and his family may have helped him relocate to Nebraska to evade capture. A relative of his is already serving jail time for the rape of another unaccompanied alien child.

Federal investigators also discovered that several illegal immigrants interviewed during the search for Ralios-Batz had obtained REAL IDs using Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) issued under the Biden government. These documents were reportedly granted without rigorous verification of identity.
