Illegal Migrant Processing Centers Are Shuttering… Because There Aren’t Any New Illegal Migrants.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: U.S. Border Patrol is shuttering an illegal immigrant processing facility in the San Diego Sector, as the number of unlawful border crossings has plummeted by over 96 percent under President Donald J. Trump.

👥 Who’s Involved: U.S. Border Patrol; the former Biden government, and the Trump Administration.

📍 Where & When: San Diego Sector; May 27, 2025.

⚠️ Impact: President Trump’s push to mass deport criminal illegal immigrants and shut down illegal border crossings has caused a dramatic decline in unlawful entries into the United States. The San Diego Sector has seen a 96 percent drop in illegal crossings, while encounters are down by an estimated 95 percent.

IN FULL:

A temporary illegal immigrant processing facility in the San Diego Sector, constructed during the Biden government, has been dismantled following a sharp decline in illegal border crossings, U.S. Border Patrol announced. The facility’s removal comes as the sector reports an over 96 percent drop in illegal entries, reflecting intensified border enforcement measures.

The San Diego Sector, a historically active area for illegal crossings, saw a dramatic decrease in activity, prompting authorities to decommission the soft-sided structure. The Biden government initially established the facility to manage high volumes of foreign nationals entering the U.S. illegally under the Democrats.

This development coincides with nationwide efforts under President Donald J. Trump to apprehend and remove criminal illegal immigrants. Over the past weekend alone, authorities say they’ve made multiple arrests of individuals with serious criminal records as part of that effort.

The National Pulse has previously reported on Trump White House border czar Tom Homan stating that the total number of illegal immigrant “gotaways” has dropped by 99.99 percent since the American First leader took office. Meanwhile, total border encounters across sectors are down by an estimated 95 percent.

Dismantling the San Diego processing facility marks an important step in the continued transition away from the former Biden government’s open borders policies. Under Trump, border resources that had previously been used to encourage mass immigration, such as the CBP One app, have been retooled to discourage illegal crossings and encourage illegal immigrants in the United States to self-deport.

‘Success’ in Chemically Castrating Sex Offenders, Pilot Scheme Suggests.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: A pilot scheme for chemical castration of sex offenders in south-west England has shown “successful outcomes,” according to a prison officers’ union. The government plans a national rollout covering 20 prisons.

👥 Who’s Involved: The British government, Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, the Prison Officers’ Association (POA), and the Prison Reform Trust.

📍 Where & When: Initial trials in south-west England, with a national rollout planned for two regions and 20 prisons.

💬 Key Quote: Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood: “I’m not squeamish about taking these further measures… so that we can build the evidence base and make sure that we are using every tool at our disposal that can cut reoffending.”

⚠️ Impact: The scheme aims to reduce reoffending rates among sex offenders.

IN FULL:

The British government has announced plans to expand a pilot programme of chemical castration for sex offenders, following what has been described as “successful outcomes” in south-west England. The scheme, which involves administering medication to suppress the sex drive of offenders, will now be rolled out to two regions covering 20 prisons.

The clinical management of sexual arousal scheme began in 2022 across five prisons. The Prison Officers’ Association (POA), representing healthcare staff in prisons, stated that its members have encountered no difficulties in administering the treatment. POA Chairman Mark Fairhurst confirmed the union’s support for the expansion but declined to specify which sites would be included in the rollout.

Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, addressed Parliament on Thursday, highlighting studies suggesting a 60 percent reduction in reoffending through a combination of chemical suppressants and psychological interventions. “I’m not squeamish about taking these further measures,” she said, noting the government was considering forcing criminals to undergo the treatment.

The treatment, which includes hormonal drugs like anti-androgens and non-hormonal options such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), is already in use in other countries like Germany and Denmark on a voluntary basis, and in Poland as mandatory for certain offenders. In the United Kingdom, it is currently delivered through a national program jointly commissioned by the National Health Service (NHS) and the Prison Service for offenders with complex needs.

Several U.S. states also practice chemical castration of sex offenders, including Louisiana, which passed a bill allowing judges to go even further and order the surgical castration of offenders who commit sex crimes against children.

Far-Leftist Who Assaulted Top MAGA Official in DC Charged.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: The Department of Justice (DOJ) has charged Emily Gabriella Sommer, who spat on then-Interim D.C. U.S. Attorney Ed Martin during a live interview earlier this month.

👤Who’s Involved: Emily Gabriella Sommer, Pardon Attorney Ed Martin, and DOJ prosecutors.

🧾Key Quote: “ED, that was me that spit in your face… A pleasure to hawk a dehydrated, pithy white foam spit into your face,” Sommer posted on X (formerly Twitter).

⚠️Fallout: Sommer now faces federal charges under 18 U.S.C. § 111, which criminalizes assaulting or impeding U.S. officials, after publicly claiming responsibility in a vulgar, racially-charged online rant.

📌Significance: The incident exposes the increasingly aggressive behavior of leftist agitators targeting America First officials.

IN FULL:

Emily Gabriella Sommer, the woman caught on video spitting on then-Interim U.S. Attorney for D.C. Ed Martin during a live interview, has been formally charged with assaulting a federal official under 18 U.S.C. § 111. The law prohibits assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers and employees of the United States. The DOJ confirmed the charge on Wednesday.

The now-viral incident occurred as Martin, who now serves as President Donald J. Trump’s Pardon Attorney and has a leadership role investigating the weaponization of government at the DOJ, was giving a live interview outside a D.C. courthouse earlier this month. Footage shows Sommer aggressively approaching Martin, shouting obscenities before spitting in his face. She shouts, “You’re a disgusting man!” before walking away.

In an uncensored video, Sommer can be heard screaming, “Who the f*ck are you?! You are Ed Martin!” moments before the assault.

In a pair of X posts made shortly after the incident, Sommer not only admitted to the assault but reveled in the act. Posting from the account @EmilyGabriellaS, she wrote: “ED, that was me that spit in your face today in front of your not USDC for D.C. Courthouse… A pleasure to hawk a dehydrated, pithy white foam spit into your face… I only apologize that this city left me so dehydrated… [Ed Martin] you punk ass bitch cuckold.”

She continued the rant in a second post: “That was meant exactly and every bit for your disgusting pig-headed swine blooded white privileged racist, misogynist… LOL. Bye, enjoy that spit on your $6k lapel, your other white bitch CRACKER. I’ll find that footage and laugh for a lifetime [sic].”

The attack on Martin—a prominent ally of President Trump—has reinforced concerns about the normalization of political violence from radicalized progressives, seemingly encouraged by the rhetoric of well-known figures like James Comey.

Fresh Trump Crackdown on Brutal Mexican Cartel.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: The Trump administration sanctioned two top members of Cartel del Noreste, a violent Mexican drug cartel and U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization.

👥 Who’s Involved: Miguel Angel de Anda Ledzema and Ricardo Gonzalez Sauceda, leaders of Cartel del Noreste; U.S. Treasury Department; Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC); Homeland Security Investigations (HSI); Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF); Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA); Mexico’s Financial Intelligence Unit.

📍 Where & When: Sanctions announced Wednesday; Cartel del Noreste operates near the Laredo, Texas border region.

💬 Key Quote: “We will continue to cut off the cartels’ ability to obtain the drugs, money, and guns that enable their violent activities,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.

⚠️ Impact: The sanctions aim to disrupt Cartel del Noreste’s operations, including drug trafficking, arms procurement, and violence on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border.

IN FULL:

The Trump administration has imposed sanctions on two senior leaders of the Cartel del Noreste, a violent Mexican drug cartel and designated foreign terrorist organization, according to an announcement from the U.S. Treasury Department on Wednesday.

The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) targeted Miguel Angel de Anda Ledzema and Ricardo Gonzalez Sauceda for their roles in facilitating the cartel’s operations. Officials say the group exerts significant control over the border area near Laredo, Texas.

Ledzema, a high-ranking cartel member, was identified as overseeing the acquisition and trafficking of firearms into Mexico. According to the Treasury Department, he coordinated payments to U.S.-based straw purchasers who misrepresented themselves to obtain weapons, later smuggling them into Nuevo Laredo. One such weapon was reportedly recovered after a March 2024 cartel attack on the Mexican military.

Sauceda, previously second-in-command of the cartel, was arrested in February by Mexican authorities. He allegedly led an armed enforcement unit and was linked to violent assaults on Mexican military and police forces. At the time of his arrest, he was found with firearms, methamphetamine, and fentanyl pills.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized the administration’s commitment to confronting the cartel threat, stating, “We will continue to cut off the cartels’ ability to obtain the drugs, money, and guns that enable their violent activities.” Bessent also highlighted the cartel’s role in campaigns of violence, intimidation, and terrorism that endanger communities on both sides of the border.

The sanctions were coordinated with Homeland Security Investigations, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and Mexico’s Financial Intelligence Unit.

Paul Perez, President of the National Border Patrol Council, praised the administration’s actions, saying they fulfill President Donald J. Trump’s promise to prevent cartels from operating with impunity. “These actions deal a significant blow and send the message to all cartels that President Trump will follow through,” Perez stated.

Far-Left Democrat Set for Court Debut After Assaulting ICE Agents.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Representative LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) faces charges of assaulting two federal agents during a visit to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Newark, New Jersey.

👥 Who’s Involved: Rep. McIver, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka (D), Reps. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), ICE agents, and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents.

📍 Where & When: Delaney Hall ICE detention facility, Newark, NJ, on May 9, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: McIver argues, “If I’m going to be charged with a crime for doing my job, it just speaks to where we’re headed in this country.”

⚠️ Impact: The incident poses a serious problem for Democrats as their more progressive and liberal wings work to portray the arrest as overreach by the Trump administration. However, more moderate and centrist party members, and voters at large, see the assault as an attack on law enforcement, and the Democratic Party’s continued defense of illegal immigrants over American citizens as distasteful.

IN FULL:

Congresswoman LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) is set to appear virtually before a federal magistrate judge on Wednesday following charges of assaulting two federal agents at an illegal immigrant detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, earlier this month. The Democrat lawmaker, alongside fellow New Jersey Reps. Robert Menendez and Bonnie Watson Coleman, was reportedly conducting oversight duties at the Delaney Hall U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility on May 9. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was also present and was also arrested during the incident, though charges against him were later dismissed.

According to prosecutors, McIver allegedly used her forearm to strike a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agent and attempted to restrain him. She is also accused of pushing and striking an ICE officer. Bodycam footage reportedly captured the events, which the Justice Department (DOJ) claims show McIver creating a “human shield” to block agents from detaining Baraka after he was warned to leave the property.

McIver has denied the allegations, calling them “purely political.” In a public statement, she said, “Earlier this month, I joined my colleagues to inspect the treatment of ICE detainees… We were fulfilling our lawful oversight responsibilities… ICE agents created an unnecessary and unsafe confrontation when they chose to arrest Mayor Baraka.”

During a CNN interview, McIver criticized federal agents, stating, “They caused the confrontation… We were there to do our jobs.” She added, “If I’m going to be charged with a crime for doing my job, it just speaks to where we’re headed in this country.”

The court approved McIver’s request to appear virtually for her initial hearing, where her rights and charges will be read, and a bail package determined.

Witness accounts suggest tensions escalated when Baraka attempted to join the lawmakers inside the facility and was denied access by federal officials. An argument ensued, leading to his arrest.

The case has drawn criticism from figures like former Border Czar Tom Homan, who argued McIver “broke the law” and should face accountability. Prosecutors maintain that McIver’s actions interfered with federal law enforcement duties, while the Congresswoman insists she was fulfilling her official responsibilities.

Migrants Face Fines Up to $1.8 Million.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: U.S. immigration authorities are issuing fines, some as high as $1.8 million, to illegal immigrants who failed to leave the country after deportation orders.

👥 Who’s Involved: Wendy Ortiz, a Salvadoran migrant; U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE); Customs and Border Protection (CBP); immigration lawyers; and the Trump administration.

📍 Where & When: United States, with fines beginning to be issued in recent weeks under the Trump administration.

💬 Key Quote: “It’s not fair. Where is someone going to find that much money?” — Wendy Ortiz, fined $1.8 million.

⚠️ Impact: Illegal immigrants face steep financial penalties, potential property seizures, and legal challenges, with many unable to pay the fines for ignoring their deportation orders.

IN FULL:

U.S. immigration authorities have begun issuing substantial fines to illegal immigrants who have failed to leave the country after being ordered to do so, with penalties reaching as high as $1.8 million. Wendy Ortiz, a 32-year-old Salvadoran illegal immigrant living in Pennsylvania, was among those fined. Ortiz allegedly left her home country a decade ago.

“It’s not fair,” Ortiz told reporters. “Where is someone going to find that much money?” Her attorney, Rosina Stambaugh, has requested a 30-day extension to contest the fine, citing Ortiz’s lack of a criminal record and the supposed dangers she faces if deported. Notably, Ortiz failed to show up for her asylum hearing and later ignored a deportation order, though she claims she never received notification of either.

The fines are part of a Trump administration policy aimed at encouraging voluntary departure, or “self-deportation,” among illegal immigrants. A senior Trump official disclosed that over 4,500 migrants have been issued fines totaling more than $500 million. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been responsible for issuing the fines, while Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is tasked with handling potential property seizures.

The fines stem from a 1996 law that Trump administration immigration officials are enforcing. Under this policy, illegal immigrants can be fined $998 per day for failing to comply with deportation orders, with penalties applied retroactively for up to five years. This framework has resulted in fines as high as $1.8 million.

Immigration lawyers across the country have expressed shock at the severity of the penalties. Robert Scott, a New York-based attorney, noted that one of his clients, a low-income Mexican woman living in the U.S. for 25 years, was also fined $1.8 million. Scott—like attorneys for other illegal immigrants—claim the woman was unaware of her 2013 deportation order and is now seeking to reopen her case.

The Trump administration previously withdrew the imposition of similar fines during its first term after legal challenges but resumed issuing smaller penalties. The Biden government later dropped the fines in 2021.

Stabbing Sprees by Migrants Leave 8 Injured, Including 11-Year-Old Girl.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Two separate stabbings in Germany left eight people injured, including an 11-year-old girl. Migrants are believed to be the perpetrators.

👥 Who’s Involved: A 35-year-old Syrian asylum seeker is suspected in a Bielefeld attack, while a 46-year-old from Kosovo has been arrested in a Halle incident.

📍 Where & When: The first attack occurred the morning of May 18 in Bielefeld, North Rhine-Westphalia, and the second on the same day outside an apartment block in Halle, central Germany.

💬 Key Quote:  “It’s high time for a clear turnaround: properly protect borders, consistently deport illegal immigrants, and finally make the security of its own population a priority again. Germany is on a knife-edge. Therefore: remigration now!” — Marc Bernhard, Alternative for Germany (AfD) MP.

⚠️ Impact: The incidents highlight ongoing concerns over security and migration policy in the European Union (EU), with countries like Germany facing increasing violence linked to migrants.

IN FULL:

Two separate stabbing attacks in Germany over the weekend left eight people injured, including an 11-year-old girl, with migrants reportedly identified as the suspects in both incidents.

In the first attack, five soccer fans, aged between 22 and 27, were injured outside a bar in Bielefeld, North Rhine-Westphalia, on the morning of May 18. The assailant, armed with a knife and a cane sword, reportedly attacked the group indiscriminately. Four of the victims sustained serious injuries but managed to fight back, forcing the attacker to flee.

Police later discovered a bag left behind by the suspect containing multiple knives, a liquid smelling of gasoline, and identification documents indicating Syrian nationality. The 35-year-old suspect, who entered Europe via Turkey in 2023 and applied for asylum in Germany, was arrested Monday in Heiligenhaus near Düsseldorf. Authorities are investigating the case as a potential terror attack.

In a separate incident on May 18 in Halle, central Germany, three people, including an 11-year-old girl, were injured in a stabbing outside an apartment block. Witnesses reported that the violence stemmed from a dispute over children making noise. A 46-year-old migrant from Kosovo has been arrested in connection with the attack.

Responding to the incidents, Marc Bernhard, a member of Germany’s Bundestag (federal legislature) for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, criticized the government’s handling of mass migration, stating, “Even after 10 years of bloodshed, people are still talking about ‘isolated cases.’”

He added, “It’s high time for a clear turnaround: properly protect borders, consistently deport illegal immigrants, and finally make the security of [Germany’s] own population a priority again. Germany is on a knife-edge. Therefore: remigration now!”

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, of the notionally center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), formerly led by Angela Merkel, had previously pledged to implement stricter immigration controls, including shutting down illegal border crossings. However, he has faced resistance from neighboring countries like Poland and has yet to deliver on promises of increased deportations.

The two attacks are part of a broader pattern of violent incidents involving migrants in Germany, with similar cases reported in cities such as Magdeburg, Munich, and Solingen in recent years.

Climate Activists Sentenced for Airport Runway Glue Plot.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: A group of Just Stop Oil activists were convicted of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance after planning to disrupt London’s Heathrow Airport by gluing themselves to the runway.

👥 Who’s Involved: Nine Just Stop Oil activists and Judge Hannah Duncan.

📍 Where & When: The judge’s ruling occurred on May 16, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: Judge Hannah Duncan stated the activists showed “no remorse” for their actions and wasted court time to garner publicity for themselves.

⚠️ Impact: The activists avoided prison, receiving either suspended sentences or credit for time already served, which will do little to deter other climate extremists.

IN FULL:

Nine activists from the climate extremist group Just Stop Oil have avoided jail after being convicted of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance in connection with a planned disruption at Heathrow Airport. The group had intended to glue themselves to the airport runway, but police intervened, preventing what authorities described as “unprecedented disruption.”

The case was heard at Isleworth Crown Court, where Judge Hannah Duncan noted that the activists had not breached the airport’s perimeter fence and had caused no “actual harm” or disruption. However, she criticized the group for showing “no remorse” for their actions. The court handed down suspended sentences to some defendants, while others were deemed to have already served their time.

Despite these weak sentences, Judge Duncan slammed the activists for treating the courtroom as an “extension of the protest.” She stated, “There are women and children who have been abused, sexually assaulted or raped who are waiting for court rooms. You used one for seven weeks. Some of you dragging it out as much as you could at every opportunity, lying about your actions and intentions that day all to get more publicity.”

The planned protest was part of a broader campaign by Just Stop Oil, which demands the end of all fossil fuel usage. The group has gained notoriety for its extremist tactics, which include throwing paint on priceless works of art, blocking major roadways across the United Kingdom, and vandalizing pieces of British history like the Magna Carta and Stonehenge.

Members of the group have been sentenced for past actions, including a five-year sentence for cofounder Roger Hallam for disputing traffic in 2022. However, in March of this year, his sentence was deemed excessive and reduced to four years.

Climate extremists’ protests on public roads have had dire consequences, with people suffering permanent damage after being prevented from reaching hospitals in a timely fashion following medical episodes, or even dying after being diverted to busier roads where they were involved in accidents.

Ukrainian Migrant Charged With Setting Fire to Properties Owned by British PM.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: A Ukrainian man has been charged with arson and attacking properties owned or linked to British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.

👥 Who’s Involved: Roman Lavrynovych, Sir Keir Starmer, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

📍 Where & When: The attacks occurred between May 8 and May 12; Lavrynovych was charged on May 15.

💬 Key Quote: “Following a review of the evidence provided by the Metropolitan Police Service’s counter terrorism command, we have authorised criminal charges against a 21-year-old man after three fires in north London,” confirmed Bethan David, head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) counter terrorism division.

⚠️ Impact: The arrest raises questions on the motive regarding the attacks and what the suspect’s Ukrainian background may have to do with them.

IN FULL:

A Ukrainian migrant has been charged after trying to set several properties on fire that British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer owns or has links to. One fire occurred on May 12 in Kent at the house the Prime Minister lived in before moving into Number 10 Downing Street last year.

Roman Lavrynovych, a 21-year-old Ukrainian national, was arrested and has been charged with three counts of arson for fires at Sir Keir’s home, another property linked to the Prime Minister, and a vehicle that is also connected to him. All of the attacks took place from May 8 to May 12. One person had to be helped out of one of the properties by firefighters.

Lavrynovych was arrested on May 13 at his home in south-east London and was charged on May 15. “Following a review of the evidence provided by the Metropolitan Police Service’s counter terrorism command, we have authorised criminal charges against a 21-year-old man after three fires in north London,” Bethan David, head of the Crown Prosecution Service counter terrorism division, said.

So far, no motive has been put forward by police regarding the attacks, which appear to have clearly targeted the Labour Party leader.

The attack is just the latest serious criminal act by a Ukrainian in recent months in Western Europe. In late March, a Ukrainian man stabbed five people in Amsterdam. Prosecutors later floated the idea that his motive could have been terrorism.

Foreign Democrat Mega Donor Hit With Sexual Harassment Lawsuit.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Swiss billionaire and Democratic Party dark money mega donor Hansjorg Wyss has been hit with a sexual harassment lawsuit, alleging the 89-year-old subjected a 30-year-old employee to repeated sexual propositions, groping, and sexual exposure.

👥 Who’s Involved: Hansjorg Wyss, Madison Busby, and a network of dark money groups that advocate for progressive political policies and back Democratic Party candidates for office.

📍 Where & When: The lawsuit was filed on April 25, 2025, in the San Luis Obispo County, California Superior Court. Details emerged publicly on May 14, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “Mr. Wyss told Ms. Busby how much he enjoyed having a threesome, even with another man,” the lawsuit alleges, adding: “He even suggested a ‘foursome’ and stated it would be ‘fun’ for the three of them and another woman by the name of ‘Lori.’”

⚠️ Impact: The lawsuit could sideline one of the Democratic Party’s most significant and influential dark money donors ahead of the 2026 congressional midterm elections.

IN FULL:

Hansjorg Wyss, an 89-year-old Swiss billionaire and Democratic Party mega donor, is the subject of a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a 30-year-old employee at one of his California wineries. In the legal filing, Madison Busby—an employee at Halter Ranch Winery—alleges Wyss subjected her to repeated sexual propositions, groped her, and exposed himself to her. Wyss’s political contributions to far-left advocacy groups and Democratic Party-aligned nonprofits have been the subject of controversy as he lacks both U.S. citizenship and permanent residency.

“Madison has suffered severe emotional distress from the harassment which took place over the course of many years, and also from lost wages and then future damages. She’s been harmed immensely,” Busby’s attorney, John Ly, said after the lawsuit‘s filing. Busby claims that after she rejected Wyss’s advances, the Swiss billionaire engaged in retaliation against her.

While not as publicly well-known as far-left Democrat donors like George Soros and Reid Hoffman, Wyss has quietly become one of the party’s most influential financiers over the last decade. Notably, Wyss is a major backer of the progressive political consulting firm Arabella Advisors‘s dark money network. In recent years, the Swiss billionaire contributed an estimated $162 million to Arabella’s key left-wing political money operations, Sixteen Thirty Fund and New Venture Fund.

Using a network of nonprofits and foundations that help conceal his political giving, Wyss has funnelled over $200 million in total to Democrat Party-aligned nonprofit advocacy groups, including the Center for American Progress, NewsGuard, and Priorities USA.

Notably, United States election laws bar noncitizens from contributing to federal candidates for office and political action committees (PACs). However, Wyss—a Swiss national who lacks American citizenship or permanent residency—circumvents these restrictions by contributing to outside political advocacy organizations that use donor money to help influence elections in favor of Democratic Party candidates.

According to the lawsuit, Wyss aggressively pursued the potential of group sex with Busby. “Mr. Wyss told Ms. Busby how much he enjoyed having a threesome, even with another man,” the filing states, adding: “He even suggested a ‘foursome’ and stated it would be ‘fun’ for the three of them and another woman by the name of ‘Lori.’” The lawsuit notes that in 2022, Wyss admitted to Busby that “if you ever went after me for sexual harassment, you would win.”
