Ten Members of Migrant Crime Gang Arrested Following Apartment Takeovers.

Officials in Aurora, Colorado, say local law enforcement arrested ten members of the Tren de Aragua gang on Wednesday. The violent criminal organization—originating in Venezuela’s prison system—is comprised primarily of illegal immigrants who have entered the United States during the Biden-Harris government.

The arrests follow recent viral surveillance footage showing armed individuals, purported to be members of the gang, taking over an apartment complex in the city. Additionally, residents in the building say the gang has forcibly collected rents and taken over empty apartments.

Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman and Council Member Danielle Jurinsky, supported by the city manager and Aurora Police Department (APD), disclosed that the APD has arrested several individuals involved in various criminal activities suspected to be linked to Tren de Aragua even before it garnered national attention. To date, eight of the ten detainees have been confirmed as gang members, with two involved in a July shooting at a specific property plagued by gang activity.

The APD indicated that the gang has been committing violent acts. Charges leveled against the detainees range from illegal firearm discharge to child abuse and attempted first-degree murder. Arrest warrants date back to November 2023, involving an assault at Whispering Pines apartments.

A joint task force of local, state, and federal law enforcement has been instituted to combat Tren de Aragua‘s activities. This collaboration extends to Arapahoe County and Denver.

When allegations regarding the Venezuelan illegal immigrant gang’s activity in Aurora first surfaced, Governor Jared Polis (D-CO) dismissed the claims, calling remarks by some local officials “cynical.”

London Mayor Sadiq Khan Wants Ex-Prisoners to Jump the Line for Public Housing.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan says convicts sent to prison for their crimes should be rewarded for their lawbreaking by being prioritized for taxpayer-subsidized social housing on release. The Labour Party politician believes giving ex-cons housing will encourage them not to commit further crimes.

“For us the big challenge is there is no housing in London, a big shortage of housing in London,” he said at a Crime and Justice Commission event organized by The Times, insisting it is time for “an honest conversation with our constituents about the reasons why people who have offended and come out of prison may need to jump in the queue to get housing to avoid them reoffending again.”

Questioned as to whether convicts being released from prison early by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer should be among the criminals who benefit from social housing priority, he confirmed: “A certain percentage. Yeah, it’s the honest conversation we’ve got to have with people across our respective cities and stuff to explain the reason we’re doing this.”

Migrants and their descendants already occupy an enormous share of social housing in Britain’s hyper-diverse capital. For instance, 74 percent of all Somalis in London are in social housing, and migrant-headed households occupy 47.6 percent of the city’s social housing stock overall.

Statistics are not held for people with British citizenship but of recent migration background, although figures for religion and ethnicity give some indication. For instance, 37.6 percent of Muslim households and 41-45 percent of black African, black Caribbean, and “other black” households in London are in social housing. The ‘White British’ figure is only 16.3 percent.

Labour Party strategists are currently being brought to America to advise the Democrats ahead of the U.S. election.

Democrat Congressman Falls Asleep in Front of Parents of Migrant-Murdered Kids.

Longtime Manhattan Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) faced criticism after appearing to briefly fall asleep during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the border crisis earlier this week. Members of Congress were in the midst of hearing testimonies from family members of victims affected by violent illegal immigrants, including Alexis Nungaray, the mother of murdered 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray from Texas. Nadler, the committee’s senior Democrat, drew the ire of two Republican members, who accused him of not taking the hearing seriously.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), in a post on X (formerly Twitter), shared a photo of Nadler appearing to doze off, remarking: “From frustrated families in the audience⁦ @JudiciaryGOP hearing listening to witnesses who lost loved ones to violent illegal aliens. Hardly any Dems present – those who are….”

Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) also posted a photo of Nadler, noting that the committee was hearing from parents of victims who were brutally beaten, raped, or killed and accusing Democrats of inattention.

“I would like to take a moment and express my sincerest condolences to all of our witnesses who have lost loved ones, and to all of their families… May their memories be a blessing,” Nadler said in his opening remarks, before criticizing the hearing as a partisan charade.

“Instead of working in a bipartisan fashion to find meaningful solutions to our broken immigration system, we are sitting in yet one more partisan hearing designed to divide us and to score political points before an election,” he said.

Patty Morin—whose daughter Rachel was raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant during a run near her home—expressed dismay after testifying and seeing Nadler’s conduct firsthand, describing it as “disheartening.”

ICYMI: Father of Boy Killed by Haitian Wishes Killer was ‘A 60-Year-Old White Man.’

The father of a boy who was killed in Springfield, Ohio, by a Haitian immigrant who was driving without a valid license has stated that he wishes the killer was a white man, so that conservatives would stop talking about the case.

Nathan Clark stated, “You know, I wish that my son, Aiden Clark, was killed by a 60-year-old white man.”

“I bet you never thought anyone would ever say something so blunt. But if that guy killed my 11-year-old son, the incessant group of hate-spewing people would leave us alone,” he added.

Clark spoke at a press conference this week after Senator J.D. Vance commented on the case, saying, “Do you know what’s confirmed? That a child was murdered by a Haitian migrant who had no right to be here.”

Former President Donald J. Trump also mentioned the situation in Springfield, Ohio, during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris this week, highlighting reports that Haitian migrants have been eating people’s pets and other animals.

Corporate media outlets deny that Haitians have been eating wildlife in the town. However, audio released this week reveals that residents have contacted Springfield police regarding Haitian migrants being involved in the poaching of local geese.

Around 20,000 Haitians have moved into Springfield under the Biden-Harris regime, roughly a third of the town’s 58,000 population. Locals have expressed frustration with the influx, from complaints of Haitians eating pets and local wildlife to housing shortages, increased hospital wait times, and illegals being given taxpayer cash that prices locals out of the rental market.

Americans Lost $5.6 BILLION to Crypto Scams Last Year.

According to a report released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) this week, Americans lost a staggering $5.6 billion to cryptocurrency scams in 2023. James Barnacle, deputy assistant director of the FBI’s criminal investigative division, explained that scammers invest considerable time in building relationships with potential victims.

“Over time, the victim is being cultivated, and the fraudsters are building confidence in the victim. They’re friends. They met on the internet, or they met on social media. They’ve met on text message,” Barnacle said in a recent interview. “Everyone reads about all these crypto millionaires, so people are looking for the next big investment opportunities, and fraudsters take advantage of that.”

Once trust is established, fraudsters present investment opportunities, often proposing participation in exclusive cryptocurrency groups. Victims are then directed to web applications where they are encouraged to invest.

The financial damage from these scams is severe. Many victims deplete their savings or take out substantial loans, including mortgages and equity lines of credit. “People withdraw or liquidate from their 401(k) or their IRA, and they’ll put money into these investment schemes, keep putting in more and more and more,” Barnacle said. Consequently, losses can range from thousands to millions of dollars.

Elderly people are the most affected, with those over 60 losing nearly $1.6 billion in 2023. Barnacle said older victims have more free time and are thus easier targets. Fraudsters are adept at providing step-by-step instructions for victims to transfer money through cryptocurrency kiosks, a tactic that even the elderly fall for frequently.

“The chances that someone recovers the money are slim,” Barnacle said. Meanwhile, since January, the FBI has notified 3,000 people they were fraud victims, though many more scams likely go unreported.

An MS-13 Illegal Was Placed in This School Despite Being a Murder Suspect. Parents and Teachers Were NOT Told.

An MS-13 gang member attended Edgewood High School in Harford County, Maryland, while under investigation for murder. Walter Martinez, 16, enrolled without school administration or parents being alerted by state or federal officials to his involvement in the July 2022 killing of Kayla Hamilton. Martinez, in the U.S. illegally, was previously identified as the primary suspect in her death, and later convicted of her murder.

“It’s the worst pain that a parent can ever get,” Tammy Nobles, Kayla Hamilton’s mother, said in an interview regarding her daughter’s death. She continued, describing how her daughter was murdered: “She was just found with a cord wrapped around her neck and her mouth. Then just left her on the floor, like trash.”

“It makes me angry. You’re sitting there putting this monster into high school with other people’s children, and you’re putting children at risk. Look what he did to Kayla,” Nobles added.

Martinez, originally from El Salvador, entered the country as an unaccompanied minor in March 2022, eventually moving to Maryland to live with a sponsor. Four months later, residing in a mobile home in Aberdeen, he was accused of Hamilton’s murder.

‘SOMEBODY NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.’

Despite being detained as the prime suspect, it took six months for DNA evidence to confirm his involvement. During this period, Martinez was able to enroll at Edgewood High School.

“HCPS is not afforded unfettered access to information held by law enforcement which may suggest that a potential student is dangerous, gang-affiliated, or suspected of heinous and disturbing crimes,” Harford County Public Schools said in a statement.

Authorities had no legal obligation to disclose Martinez’s suspect status in Democrat-run Maryland, and the law allowed his school attendance. Despite this, Nobles said, “Why did you put him in a public school? Somebody needs to be held accountable.”

In January 2023, DNA results confirmed Martinez’s guilt, leading to his arrest. He pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to 70 years in prison in August 2024.

New Audio and Police Report Provide Strong Evidence Haitians ARE Poaching Geese In Ohio Town.

Evidence is mounting that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, are behind the disappearance of geese—and possibly ducks—in the town. A recording of a phone call between a local resident and Springfield police reveals several Haitians being reported for illegal poaching several weeks ago. Additionally, the poaching allegations appear in a Springfield police report.

“I’m sitting here, I’m riding on the trail, I’m going to my orientation for my job today, and I see a group of Haitian people, there was about four of ’em, they all had geese in their hand,” a man can be heard telling the emergency services center for Clark County, Ohio.

“I was trying to get my phone out, and I was trying to make it to this orientation on time. I’m time crunching here, and I saw that, I’m like, ‘Yeah, this has got to be reported,” he adds.

“How many geese did they have?” the dispatcher asks.

“They each had one,” the caller responds.

The recording reinforces allegations that geese and ducks are being poached for food by the Haitians who have arrived in the Ohio town over the past year.

“There’s a recorded police call from a witness who saw immigrants capturing geese for food in Springfield. Citizens testified to City Council,” Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost wrote in a post on X, responding to the corporate media’s insistence that no poaching has happened. Meanwhile, he notes: “These people would be competent witnesses in court.”

Yost adds: “Why does the media find a carefully worded City Hall press release better evidence?”

Ohio has strict anti-poaching laws, and violators can face steep fines.

Migrants Eating Wildlife Isn’t Actually a New Thing, Despite What the Media Claims.

Reports have spread across the media and social media of Haitian migrants eating people’s pets and local wildlife in Springfield, Ohio. While some mainstream outlets claim the reports are false, such cases are not uncommon worldwide.

Migrants who come to the West are often taken care of by local governments and NGOs and are rarely in a position where they need to resort to eating local wildlife or pets to survive.

However, in 2010, a group of Eastern European migrants in the British city of Peterborough were caught trapping and eating local swans, roasting them over fires on the banks of the River Nene. Swans are legally protected animals in Britain and are the property of the reigning monarch.

Experts and the media initially denied reports of the swan killings, but investigations revealed that migrants were killing and eating the birds.

A similar case was reported in New York in 2015 when three refugees from Myanmar, formerly Burma, were arrested for killing and eating a swan.

Elsewhere in Europe, there have been numerous reports of migrants engaging in cruelty to animals, including Muslims slaughtering sheep in parking lots or bathtubs. Some countries, like Sweden, have admitted animal cruelty is much more prevalent in migrant-dense areas.

GLOBAL ISSUE?

Elsewhere in the world, similar reports have emerged. In Taiwan, several Vietnamese migrants were fined around $33,000 in 2020 for killing and eating a local dog and served jail sentences of 30 to 40 days each. Authorities rescued three other dogs they assumed were also being kept to be eaten later on.

Chinese workers in the Middle Eastern state of Jordan were likewise accused of killing and eating street dogs in 2019, with the NGO Network for Animals claiming it represented a rising trend in the torture and killing of dogs in the region.

Border Crisis Arrives in Small Town Ohio.

The border crisis has come to a small town in Ohio, as locals express concern over the influx of Haitian illegal aliens that have brought crime, a drain on resources, and even reports of pets and other animals being killed and eaten.

The details: Springfield, Ohio, a city of 58,000 people, has seen the arrival of approximately 20,000 Haitians—an influx of roughly one-third of the entire population.

  • The illegals have arrived through Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s legally questionable asylum programs.
  • Making matters worse, Biden and Harris granted temporary legal status to 300,000 Haitians through 2026.

What the locals are saying: Resident Anthony Harris called out the city’s inaction, stating, “These Haitians are running into trash cans, running into buildings, flipping cars in the street. How are y’all comfortable with this?”

  • Lisa Hayes recounted being bullied by illegals at a supermarket, blocking her car and refusing to let her exit.
  • A resident only identified as ‘Noel’ expressed fear over illegals camping outside her home: “They’re screaming at me, throwing mattresses in my front yard, throwing trash in my front yard… I want out of this town. Please give me a reason to stay.”

Drain on services: The influx has cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars for services like translators, and the residents are seeing increased wait times at hospitals, schools are over capacity, and illegals being given tax-dollar assistance for rent are pricing out legal residents.

Boy killed: Last year, an illegal alien in Springfield drove into oncoming traffic, crashing into a school bus, killing an 11-year-old boy and injuring 20 more children.

Killing pets and local animals? Rumors spread online that the Haitian migrants have been seen killing and eating ducks and geese. And some reports claim they have also stolen pet cats and eaten them.

  • One resident speaking at the city council meeting cited earlier said the illegals are “stealing animals from farmers and leaving their severed heads at the site of an old school where children play. Relieving themselves in public. Making some barbaric stew out of the birds that live in our park. This is insanity. And it has to stop.”

WATCH: Criminals Celebrate as Far-Left Govt Frees Them Early, Drug Dealer Pledges ‘Lifelong’ Support.

Criminals and their associates have been pictured pumping their fists, popping corks, and giving reporters the middle finger as they walk out of prison early, thanks to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. One of the inmates being sprung by the Labour government in England and Wales, drug dealer Djaber Benallaoua, said he was now a “lifelong Labour voter.”

On winning Britain’s July 4 snap election with a record-low share of the popular vote, Starmer claimed freeing thousands of prisoners early was the only way to ease prison overcrowding—although the British state has consistently managed to find additional funding and space to host boat migrants crossing the English Channel illegally. Over 5,000 convicts are set to be let loose after serving as little as 40 percent of their terms over the next six weeks.

Conveniently, the move creates space for anti-immigration demonstrators receiving lengthy prison terms for as little as making “hostile gestures” at police while protesting the murder and wounding of young girls, allegedly by a migration-background mass stabber, in Southport, England. Some have been arrested for merely posting “grossly offensive” messages or “inaccurate information” about immigration and the alleged killer on social media.

While some freed prisoners expressed gratitude to the Labour government—”Thank you, Sir Keir Starmer, you’re the best,” said one convicted fraudster—others admitted they or their fellow inmates would soon be victimizing the public again.

“Most people re-offend, so they’ll be straight back in,” remarked Shane Devlin, who had been convicted of inflicting actual bodily harm on his victim.

Some suggested the preponderance of foreigners in British prisons is a primary cause of the overcrowding in prisons—but Starmer moved to block deportations as soon as he entered office.
