Judge Claims ‘Judicial Immunity’ After Arrest for Aiding Criminal Illegal Immigrant.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan has been indicted for allegedly helping a dangerous illegal immigrant evade federal immigration enforcement.

👥 Who’s Involved: Judge Hannah Dugan, Mexican national Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Attorney General Pam Bondi.

📍 Where & When: Milwaukee County, Wisconsin; indictment issued this week, incident occurred last month.

💬 Key Quote: “The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts,” Dugan’s attorneys argued in a legal filing.

⚠️ Impact: The case raises questions about judicial immunity, federalism, and the balance of state and federal authority in immigration enforcement.

IN FULL:

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan is facing federal charges after allegedly assisting a Mexican national in evading Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials. A federal grand jury indicted Judge Dugan this week on counts of concealing a person from arrest and obstruction.

The incident occurred last month when ICE agents were stationed outside Dugan’s courtroom to apprehend Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a Mexican national with an administrative warrant for his arrest. According to the complaint, Judge Dugan confronted the agents, attempted to send them elsewhere, and then directed Flores-Ruiz and his attorney to exit the courtroom through a restricted “jury door” leading to a nonpublic area, bypassing the public exit where law enforcement was positioned.

Dugan’s legal team has argued that the charges violate long-standing principles of judicial immunity and federalism. “The government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts,” her attorneys stated in a legal filing submitted Wednesday. They further claimed that the indictment infringes upon the U.S. Constitution’s Tenth Amendment, which reserves certain powers to the states.

The filing also referenced historical legal precedent, asserting that judges have been granted absolute immunity for their official actions since at least the early 17th century in England, a tradition carried over into U.S. common law. Dugan’s attorneys have called for the immediate dismissal of the indictment, labeling the prosecution as “barred” under these principles.

The Department of Justice (DOJ), which brought the charges, has maintained that the case underscores the principle of equality under the law. Attorney General Pam Bondi criticized Dugan’s actions, stating, “Shame on her. It was a domestic violence case, of all cases, and she was protecting a criminal defendant over victims of crime.”

Anti-Trump UK Foreign Sec Allegedly Assaulted Euro Cabbie.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: British Foreign Secretary David Lammy is accused of assaulting a taxi driver after refusing to pay a massive bill on a 360-mile trip from Italy to France.

👥 Who’s Involved: David Lammy, of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, an unnamed French taxi driver, and the French authorities.

📍 Where & When: The alleged attack took place on April 10 in Haute Savoie in the French Alps.

💬 Key Quote: “On the night of April 10-11, I was the victim of assault and violence by members of a British embassy during an international transfer, where they refused to pay me.” — Taxi driver.

⚠️ Impact: The incident could be the latest embarrassment for Lammy, who previously referred to President Donald J. Trump as a “neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath.”

IN FULL:

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, known for calling President Donald J. Trump a “neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath” in the past, has been accused of assaulting a European taxi driver over a bill costing over $780. Lammy and his wife used a taxi service to take them on a 360-mile trip from Italy to a French ski resort on April 10.

The trip followed King Charles III‘s three-day trip to Italy, during which Lammy and his wife Nicola Green were also present. The taxi driver alleges that Lammy became aggressive over payment for the ride, totaling over $1,700, though most of the cost was paid by the transfer service Lammy booked the nearly seven-hour trip with.

Lammy was expected to pay the remaining $782 but allegedly refused, “became aggressive,” and ultimately swiped a receipt from the driver’s hands. The driver left the pair at the destination in Haute Savoie in the French Alps and reported the incident to local police. The authorities found diplomatic material in the car, including a briefcase, two diplomatic passports, and diplomatic license plates.

“On the night of April 10-11, I was the victim of assault and violence by members of a British embassy during an international transfer, where they refused to pay me,” the driver told French media.

The Bonneville prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation into the incident, but Lammy and his wife have denied the allegations and claimed the man fraudulently removed their luggage, along with cash, saying they will sue him.

The driver says he did not know who Lammy was at the time of the incident but joked that if he had, he would have charged “much more.”

Lawmaker Faces Charges in Dual Sex Assault Cases.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) Patrick Spencer has been charged with two counts of sexual assault.

👥 Who’s Involved: Patrick Spencer, MP for England’s Central Suffolk and North Ipswich constituency (electoral district), and two alleged victims.

📍 Where & When: Alleged incidents occurred at the Groucho Club, London, in August 2023. Spencer will appear in court on June 16, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “Patrick Spencer MP has been suspended from the Conservative Party, and the whip withdrawn, with immediate effect,” said a Conservative Party spokesman.

⚠️ Impact: Spencer has been suspended from the Conservative Party and barred from attending the parliamentary estate during the investigation.

IN FULL:

Patrick Spencer, the British Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich, has been charged with two counts of sexual assault. The charges relate to alleged incidents involving two women at the Groucho Club in London in August 2023.

The 37-year-old MP, elected to Parliament in July 2024, as the Conservatives more broadly were being ousted by Labour after 14 years in government, was not serving in Parliament at the time of the alleged incidents. Spencer is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on June 16, 2025.

In a statement, the Metropolitan Police confirmed that Spencer attended a voluntary interview at a London police station on March 13, 2025. Following their investigation, charges were brought. Frank Ferguson, head of the Crown Prosecution Service’s (CPS) special crime and counter-terrorism division, stated, “Following a review of the evidence provided by the Metropolitan Police Service, we have authorised two counts of sexual assault against Patrick Spencer MP.”

The Conservative Party has responded by suspending Spencer and withdrawing the party whip. A party spokesman stated, “We have taken immediate action. Patrick Spencer MP has been suspended from the Conservative Party, and the whip withdrawn, with immediate effect.” The party emphasized its commitment to integrity and high standards but declined further comment due to the ongoing legal proceedings.

The case against Spencer is just one of a slew of sex crime allegations levelled against British MPs in recent years. One of the most infamous involved Conservative MP Imran Ahmad Khan, who was found guilty in 2022 of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy in 2008.

Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson was driven from office in part because he was aware of sexual assault allegations involving two men at a London club against former MP Christopher Pincher, but still promoted him to a senior role in the party.

A parliamentary investigation by the Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS) ultimately found Pincher guilty of “an egregious case of sexual misconduct” that constituted an abuse of power. Johnson initially lied, saying that he was unaware of the allegations.

Border Patrol Thwarts Attempt to Smuggle Fentanyl Inside Woman’s Body.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers seized 113 grams of fentanyl at the Paso Del Norte crossing in El Paso.

👥 Who’s Involved: A 40-year-old female with U.S. citizenship was arrested. CBP officers, along with Homeland Security Investigations agents, were involved.

📍 Where & When: The incident occurred at the Paso Del Norte international crossing in El Paso on May 7.

💬 Key Quote: “This is an exceptionally dangerous practice and could be lethal if the packaging were to fail during transport,” said CBP El Paso Port Director Ray Provencio.

⚠️ Impact: The woman faces federal charges for attempting to smuggle drugs internally, highlighting the risks associated with such activities.

IN FULL:

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the Paso Del Norte international crossing in El Paso intercepted 113 grams of fentanyl concealed within a 40-year-old woman’s body on May 7. The woman, a pedestrian border crosser with U.S. citizenship, was found with the drugs hidden within her, a method deemed highly dangerous by officials.

CBP officers selected the woman for a secondary inspection just before 3 AM. During this examination, she confessed to having a foreign object concealed inside her body. Subsequently, she was taken to a medical facility, where medical staff confirmed and removed the internally concealed package filled with fentanyl. A follow-up examination revealed no further anomalies.

“This is an exceptionally dangerous practice and could be lethal if the packaging were to fail during transport,” stated CBP El Paso Port Director Ray Provencio. He emphasized the risks associated with such smuggling methods, advising against engaging in any form of smuggling activity.

After the medical procedure, the woman was returned to the port of entry, where she was arrested and handed over to Homeland Security Investigations special agents. She now faces federal charges related to the failed smuggling attempt.

The incident underscores the ongoing attempts by gangs and criminal organisations to smuggle fentanyl into the United States. While President Trump’s border policies have reduced illegal migration by over 90 percent on the southern border, issues still remain with illegal smuggling.

Fentanyl, one of the deadliest drugs on the planet, can kill in small doses. One fentanyl shipment caught by CBP agents last year saw four million pills of fentanyl seized, enough to kill 250 million Americans.

Last month, Republicans introduced legislation that would charge fentanyl dealers with felony murder if their distribution of the drug results in deaths.

George Santos Begs Trump for Pardon.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Former Congressman George Santos seeks clemency from President Donald J. Trump after being sentenced to 87 months in prison.

👥 Who’s Involved: George Santos, President Trump, federal prosecutors, and former Attorney General Merrick Garland.

📍 Where & When: New York, sentencing occurred last month; Santos appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Thursday.

💬 Key Quote: “President Trump, I’d appreciate if you could give me a consideration. I’m not an altar boy, I’m not pretending to be one. But I’m not a hardened criminal.” — George Santos.

⚠️ Impact: Santos argues his sentence is overly harsh and claims his experience could help identify other wrongdoers.

IN FULL:

Former Congressman George Santos is appealing to President Donald J. Trump for clemency following his sentencing to 87 months in federal prison. Santos, who pleaded guilty to wire fraud and identity theft, appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored expressing his hope for a pardon or commutation from the President.

Santos, who was removed from Congress after a House Ethics Report, claims the sentence is excessive for a first-time offender. He argues the case against him was politically motivated, pointing to former Attorney General Merrick Garland’s role in leading the Joe Biden-era Justice Department. “I do believe this is an unfair judgment handed down to me. There was a lot of politicization over the process,” Santos stated.

The former congressman was charged with several schemes involving political donors and government assistance programs, intending to enrich himself while campaigning for New York’s 3rd congressional district. His downfall was marked by accusations of fabricating his resume, lying about his background, and misleading the public regarding a dog charity.

Despite pleading guilty, Santos has been vocal on social media, disputing prosecutors’ claims and maintaining his sentence is disproportionately severe. He contends that his actions, though regrettable, were mistakes and not deserving of such a lengthy prison term. “President Trump, I’d appreciate if you could give me a consideration. I’m not an altar boy, I’m not pretending to be one. But I’m not a hardened criminal,” he pleaded.

Santos also suggests his experiences could serve the country by identifying others engaged in similar misconduct. “Who better… to be able to sniff out other bad actors doing similar actions that I did?” he asked.

US Marshals Set to Arrest DC Woman for Spitting on Ed Martin During Live Interview.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Ed Martin, President Donald J. Trump’s initial nominee for U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, was spat on by a woman during a Newsmax interview. The U.S. Marshals have identified the woman and plan to arrest her.

👥 Who’s Involved: Acting U.S. Attorney for D.C. Ed Martin, the woman who spat on him, U.S. Marshals, and Daily Caller reporter Vince Coglianese.

📍 Where & When: The incident took place during a Newsmax interview, shortly after Trump’s decision to withdraw Martin’s nomination for a top prosecutor role in Washington, D.C.

💬 Key Quote: “Ed Martin tells me the U.S. Marshals do know who the woman is who spit on him yesterday during a Newsmax appearance,” Vince Coglianese reported.

⚠️ Impact: The footage has gone viral, with many calling for legal action against the woman.

IN FULL:

Ed Martin, President Donald J. Trump‘s initial nominee for a top federal prosecutor position in Washington, D.C., was the target of a spitting assault during an interview on May 9. The woman involved has been identified by the U.S. Marshals, who are preparing to arrest her.

The event unfolded while Martin was speaking with reporters, and the woman, while passing by, angrily identified him by name before spitting on him. She further insulted Martin, calling him a “disgusting man,” while walking her small dog.

The incident quickly gained traction online, with the video being viewed by millions. Many have criticized the woman, labeling her as a “psychotic lib” and a “feral leftist.” There are calls for her to face legal consequences.

“Ed Martin tells me the U.S. Marshals do know who the woman is who spit on him yesterday during a Newsmax appearance,” radio host Vince Coglianese said.

The backdrop to this incident is President Trump’s recent decision to withdraw Martin’s nomination for the federal prosecutor role. This decision came after Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) expressed his unwillingness to support Martin over his handling of January 6 cases. Tillis remarked, “I have no tolerance for anybody that entered the building on January 6, and that’s probably where most of the friction was.” Martin’s interim term as U.S. Attorney expires on May 20.

Following the withdrawal, Trump nominated Judge Jeanine Pirro. Martin will now serve as the Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Pardon Attorney in the Justice Department.

Trump praised Martin’s work as interim U.S. Attorney and expressed confidence in his new role, stating that Martin would “provide much needed Justice” for victims of government weaponization under the current administration.

The spitting incident is just the latest act of leftist violence. It comes just days after Antifa militants assaulted people in Seattle with feces and threatened elderly people at a Turning Point USA event.

BBC Star Pleads Guilty to Terror Offenses Linked to Hezbollah.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: A British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) presenter has pleaded guilty to financial terror offences linked to the terrorist group Hezbollah.

👥 Who’s Involved: Oghenochuko ‘Ochuko’ Ojiri, Hezbollah, Nazem Ahmad, Metropolitan Police.

📍 Where & When: London, England on May 9.

💬 Key Quote: “Nazem Ahmad is a suspected terrorist financier and at the time of the business relationship between them it was directly within the knowledge of the defendant that Ahmad had been sanctioned as a terrorist financier of Hezbollah by the United States.” — The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

⚠️ Impact: The case is just the latest to see a BBC presenter pleading guilty to serious crimes in the United Kingdom.

IN FULL:

A Nigerian-British television star and art dealer has pleaded guilty to financial terrorism offences linked to the Islamist terrorist group Hezbollah following a police probe. Oghenochuko ‘Ochuko’ Ojiri, who starred in the BBC program Bargain Hunt, admitted to eight counts of “failing to make a disclosure during the course of business within the regulated sector” on May 9.

The guilty plea came just a day after Ojiri was charged by prosecutors in London for the offences between October 2020 and December 2021. London’s Metropolitan police said that the charges stemmed from Ojiri’s relationship with a man named Nazem Ahmad, who is suspected of being a source of funding for Hezbollah.

Ahmad, a dual citizen of Belgium and Lebanon, where Hezbollah is based, has previously been sanctioned by both the United Kingdom and the United States due to his links to the terror group. Ojiri sold art worth around $186,000 to Ahmad.

“Nazem Ahmad is a suspected terrorist financier and at the time of the business relationship between them it was directly within the knowledge of the defendant that Ahmad had been sanctioned as a terrorist financier of Hezbollah by the United States,” the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said.

Sentencing for Ojiri is expected next month. So far, the BBC has yet to comment on the case, claiming that any comment would not be appropriate.

The case is just the latest to see a BBC personality prosecuted for serious crimes in recent months. Last year, former lead BBC news anchor Huw Edwards pleaded guilty to making indecent images of children. Edwards, once the highest-paid news anchor at the BBC, was known worldwide for announcing the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.

In Australia, another BBC personality was jailed last August for ten years for raping and killing dozens of dogs. pleading guilty to 56 charges of bestiality and animal cruelty the year prior.

Antifa and Transgenders Target Elderly, Throws Feces at TPUSA Event Featuring Riley Gaines.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Antifa militants and transgender activists disrupted a Turning Point USA event at the University of Washington, targeting attendees and volunteers.

👥 Who’s Involved: The protest involved Antifa militants, transgender activists, women’s rights activists Riley Gaines and Olivia Krolczyk, and Turning Point USA (TPUSA).

📍 Where & When: The incident took place at the University of Washington in Seattle on Tuesday during a TPUSA event.

💬 Key Quote: “I bet your old a** blood is beautiful on the concrete,” a female militant told an elderly couple.

⚠️ Impact: No arrests were made. The event highlights tensions between free speech and transgenderism on college campuses.

IN FULL:

A Turning Point USA event at the University of Washington in Seattle on May 6 saw far-left Antifa militants and transgenders throw feces at attendees and threaten elderly people with violence. The event, featuring women’s rights activists Riley Gaines and Olivia Krolczyk, was targeted by the far-left extremists.

The protest began with around 100 demonstrators, primarily transgender activists, arriving an hour before the event. Antifa members, dressed in black bloc attire to conceal their identities, acted as “security” for the group. Demonstrators carried pro-trans signs and shouted phrases such as “God is trans” to challenge the presence of Gaines and TPUSA on campus.

The situation escalated when protesters left their designated area, moving closer to the event venue. At approximately 6:32 PM, a protester threw a bag of dog feces at a TPUSA volunteer, an act captured on video. Despite police presence, no arrests were made.

Later, Antifa militants targeted attendees exiting the venue. An elderly couple, escorted by police, was followed and verbally harassed by militants who wished death upon them. One militant told the couple, “I bet your old a** blood is beautiful on the concrete.” Half-hearted police efforts to intervene were unsuccessful, but the couple eventually reached their vehicle safely.

A woman with health issues, using a cane, was also targeted and mocked by the same militants as she made her way to the parking lot. The militants hurled insults and threats, accusing her of transphobia.

The protest was organized by the UW Progressive Student Union, which circulated a flyer featuring images of firearms and the phrase “Protect trans youth.”

The protests highlighted the willingness to use threats and violence by transgender extremists. Earlier this year, a Border Patrol official was murdered by a transgender duo who are allegedly part of a transgender terror group known as the Zizians.

Their leader, Jack “Ziz” LaSota, was arrested in February after skipping a trial last December and faking his death to avoid prosecution. The group is believed to be linked to at least four murders, including the killing of a former landlord whom one of the group had previously stabbed in the chest with a sword.

Pam Bondi Says FBI Still Reviewing Epstein Files, Dismisses Comer’s Deletion Claim.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Attorney General Pam Bondi refuted claims by Rep. James Comer that Jeffrey Epstein-related files are missing, stating the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is still reviewing tens of thousands of videos and documents due to the case’s massive scope.

👥 Who’s Involved: Attorney General Pam Bondi, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), FBI Director Kash Patel, and the FBI.

📍 Where & When: Washington, D.C., on May 7, 2025.

💬 Key Quote: “The FBI, they’re reviewing. There are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn, and there are hundreds of victims,” Bondi told the press.

⚠️ Impact: Delays in releasing Epstein files fuel public skepticism and congressional frustration, raising questions about transparency in a high-profile case.

IN FULL:

Attorney General Pam Bondi has said that files related to deceased pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein have still not been released because the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is still reviewing them, dismissing claims by Rep. James Comer (R-KY) that files are missing.

“The FBI, they’re reviewing. There are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn, and there are hundreds of victims, and no one victim will ever get released,” AG Bondi told the press. “It’s just the volume, and that’s what they’re going through right now. The FBI is diligently going through that,” she said, adding that she would call Comer to discuss the matter with him.

Rep. Comer, Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, recently said he believes the relevant documents have “probably” been destroyed, and that he warned AG Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel that this would happen if they did not move quickly to disclose them.

Alcatraz Just One of Many Facilities Trump Admin Is Reactivating, Mostly to Detain Illegals.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: President Donald J. Trump’s eye-catching proposal to reopen Alcatraz prison is being backed by action to reopen a number of other facilities across the U.S., mostly to detain illegal aliens.

👥 Who’s Involved: President Trump, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), CoreCivic, Geo Group, California Democrats, illegal aliens.

📍 Where & When: Alcatraz Island, California, and other locations such as Michigan, New Jersey, and Kansas; recent months.

💬 Key Quote: “We don’t want ICE to expand their ability to cage our community members,” complained Susan Beaty, senior attorney for the California Collaborative for Immigrant Justice.

⚠️ Impact: Potential increase in immigration detentions.

IN FULL:

President Donald J. Trump’s recent suggestion to reopen Alcatraz, the historical prison in San Francisco Bay, California, has caused a stir. It is part of a broader initiative by the administration to repurpose several closed detention facilities across the United States, mostly for the purpose of detaining illegal aliens.

While California lawmakers have tried to dismiss the Alcatraz proposal as a diversion, efforts to reopen other facilities are progressing, often in collaboration with private prison companies. The Trump administration has been actively working to reactivate at least five other detention centers and prisons to house immigration detainees. Meanwhile, the Alcatraz proposal would see “America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders” confined on the island prison, according to Trump.

In California, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is exploring reopening the California City Correctional Facility, which at one point housed over 2,000 people, and the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Dublin. Local activists such as Susan Beaty, of the California Collaborative for Immigrant Justice, are rattled by the moves to expand detention facilities in the Golden State, saying, “When there are fewer beds for ICE to incarcerate people, there are fewer arrests and less enforcement. We don’t want ICE to expand their ability to cage our community members, because we know that will lead to more incarceration and allow them to terrorize our communities even further.”

Elsewhere, the Geo Group is reopening the North Lake Correctional Facility in Michigan, potentially becoming the Midwest’s largest immigration detention center. In New Jersey, the Delaney Hall facility in Newark has also reopened for immigration detainees amid legal challenges from the city government. In Kansas, CoreCivic is working to reopen a detention center in Leavenworth.

The Trump administration’s push to utilize these shuttered facilities underscores its commitment to mass deportations. However, illegals are now being given the opportunity to use the CBP One app—which Joe Biden used to parole migrants into the U.S. en masse—to self-deport with a $1,000 stipend, avoiding detention and forcible removal.
