IN FULL

Aliya Rahman, a guest of Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN), was arrested by Capitol Police during President Donald J. Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday evening for alleged unlawful conduct and disruption of Congress. Rahman, a Minneapolis, Minnesota resident, had been invited by Omar following her detention last month after refusing lawful orders from federal immigration agents to move her vehicle, in an apparent attempt to interfere with a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation.

At the time, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated that Rahman “ignored multiple commands by an officer to move her vehicle away from the scene.” She was arrested along with six other alleged anti-ICE agitators, though Rahman insists she was actually en route to a medical appointment.

During the State of the Union address, Rahman was standing silently when officers asked her to sit down, which she refused, according to police. The Capitol Police stated, “The guest was told to sit down, but refused to obey our lawful orders. It is illegal to disrupt the Congress and demonstrate in the Congressional Buildings.” Rahman was arrested and charged with unlawful conduct. She was later taken to George Washington University Hospital for treatment after allegedly sustaining injuries during the arrest.

Following her arrest on Tuesday, Rahman claimed she was not demonstrating but merely standing silently. “No buttons, no facial expressions, no gestures, no signs, not one sound,” she said. She added that she stood up when President Trump made remarks she described as “some of the most racist things I have heard come out of any leader’s mouth about the people of my city.”

Rep. Omar has called for an investigation into the arrest, stating that Rahman was “forcibly removed” despite warning officers about her injured shoulders. Omar said, “The heavy-handed response to a peaceful guest sends a chilling message about the state of our democracy.” However, the Capitol Police emphasized that all State of the Union tickets explicitly prohibit demonstrations, and Rahman’s actions were considered a violation of those rules.

How U.S. Intel Aided Operation to to Take Out ‘El Mencho’ in Mexico:

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Mexican soldiers killed Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) cartel boss Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes in a raid on his hideout, following a tip-off involving one of his romantic partners.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Mexican military forces, El Mencho and his security detail, and U.S. intelligence support.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The raid occurred on Sunday in Tapalpa, Jalisco state, Mexico.

🎯IMPACT: The operation led to widespread retaliatory violence, with over 70 deaths, major disruptions, and increased security deployments.

IN FULL

The capture and subsequent death of Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) leader Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes at the hands of the Mexican military on Sunday came—in part—through a tip provided by one of El Mencho’s romantic partners. According to Mexican military officials, the tip—along with United States intelligence support—allowed for the woman to be tracked to a wooded area near Tapalpa in the state of Jalisco, where El Mencho had established a safe house.

After confirming the cartel leader’s location, Mexican special forces launched an assault, resulting in the deaths of El Mencho and at least eight other cartel members after a fierce firefight. El Mencho was one of the most wanted drug lords by both the Mexican and U.S. governments, largely due to the cartel’s role in trafficking fentanyl into the United States.

General Ricardo Trevilla, Mexico’s defense minister, highlighted the importance of surprise in the operation, with some troops positioned along Jalisco’s state border to avoid detection. El Mencho’s bodyguards engaged the soldiers, and the cartel leader fled with his inner circle to nearby cabins before being apprehended. He and two others were gravely injured while being subdued and later died en route to Mexico City.

The death of El Mencho triggered significant retaliatory violence across 20 states, including Jalisco. Armed cartel supporters set vehicles and buildings ablaze, blocked roads, and disrupted daily life. Mexican authorities reported over 70 deaths during the operation and its aftermath, including 25 law enforcement officers. Additional security forces were deployed to stabilize the region.

U.S. intelligence reportedly supported the operation, providing a dossier on El Mencho to Mexican authorities. The CJNG, designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by U.S. President Donald J. Trump last year, has been a major target in efforts to combat drug trafficking.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Last Thursday night at approximately 9:30 PM at the Edwards Apartments, 953 Collins Ave., South Beach, Miami.

💬KEY QUOTE: The victim told police that Sainte said, “I’m about to crash out,” after grabbing a knife during the altercation.

🎯IMPACT: Sainte was arrested and is being held on a $1,650 bond at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.

IN FULL

Police in Miami Beach arrested La’Rose Angel Sainte, a 30-year-old transgender porn creator, last Thursday night after an altercation in which a man reported being stabbed. The incident occurred at approximately 9:30 PM at the Edwards Apartments on South Beach.

According to the Miami Beach Police Department (MBPD) arrest report, the victim told police he had invited Sainte to his apartment after meeting three weeks earlier. Upon Sainte’s arrival, the man stated that he would not engage in sexual activity because Sainte was “not Jewish.” This reportedly enraged Sainte, who then demanded car keys and money.

The victim said that as he walked toward the bathroom, Sainte pushed him, causing him to fall. Sainte allegedly punched him multiple times in the face. The victim left the apartment but returned after hearing that property had been damaged inside. Upon returning, Sainte reportedly grabbed a piece of glass from a broken mirror and stabbed the victim in the hand.

After fleeing the scene, Sainte was spotted entering an SUV by a drone operator. Police stopped the vehicle and took Sainte into custody. The victim also reported damage to two pairs of sunglasses, a mirror, and a refrigerator door handle. The arrest report notes that Sainte may have been intoxicated during the incident and allegedly stated, “I’m about to crash out,” while holding a weapon.

Sainte is being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $1,650 bond. Charges include felony aggravated battery and three misdemeanors.

‘Allahu Akbar!’ — Afghan Knifeman Attacks Jehovah’s Witnesses.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: An Afghan knifeman attacked multiple people at a Jehovah’s Witness stand in a German railway station.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The attacker, civilians who overpowered him, and the police.

📍WHEN & WHERE: February 23, 2026, at Würzburg Central Station, Germany.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Several passersby, including a plainclothes police officer, immediately intervened and were able to subdue the 35-year-old.” – Police spokesman

🎯IMPACT: The suspect was arrested, and the area was secured for investigation.

IN FULL

An Afghan national, aged 35, launched an attack at a Jehovah’s Witness stand in Würzburg Central Station, Germany. The attack occurred early Monday morning local time, around 7:50 AM, and involved the suspect stabbing a 68-year-old man and physically attacking two others, aged 55 and 51.

The Afghan was thwarted by civilians and a plainclothes police officer, who intervened and subdued him. “A patrol from the Federal Police arrived shortly after the initial emergency call and was able to provisionally arrest the suspect,” the Bavarian police said, adding, “Several patrols from the Würzburg police also responded promptly to the scene.”

The victims sustained only minor injuries, none of which were life-threatening. Bavarian police are reviewing footage from several CCTV cameras to trace the suspect’s route to the train station and searching his residence. Jehovah’s Witnesses, known for their door-to-door evangelism, were the target of this attack.

The attack echoes a previous one in Würzburg in June 2021, where Somali refugee Abdirahman Jibril Ali killed three women inside a Woolworth store and injured eight others on the street outside.

Violence Erupts Across Mexico Following Drug Lord El Mencho’s Death, Tourists Stranded.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Members of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) unleashed violent attacks across 20 Mexican states after the death of their leader, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho”.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The CJNG, Mexican military forces, and local authorities, with support from the U.S. government.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Violence erupted on Sunday across Jalisco, Baja California, Quintana Roo, and other states, following El Mencho’s capture and death during his transport to Mexico City.

💬KEY QUOTE: “El Mencho was a top target for the Mexican and United States government as one of the top traffickers of fentanyl into our homeland.” — Trump White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

🎯IMPACT: The violence disrupted daily life, halted public transport, and left tourists stranded, while authorities arrested 25 individuals and worked to restore order.

IN FULL

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), one of Mexico’s most notorious criminal cartels, responded with widespread violence after its leader, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as “El Mencho,” died in Mexican government custody. El Mencho, Mexico’s most wanted man, was captured by military forces in Jalisco state on Sunday and died from injuries sustained during the operation.

In retaliation, CJNG members set up burning blockades, torched businesses, and attacked towns across 20 states. Reports indicate that dozens of banks, pharmacies, and vehicles were set ablaze, with significant disruptions in high tourist areas like Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara. Authorities reported 250 incidents of road blockades, with 90 percent cleared by Monday.

The violence mirrored past cartel responses to high-profile arrests, such as the 2019 capture of Ovidio Guzmán López—the son of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán. In Guadalajara, panic erupted at the airport when rumors of gunfire spread, though authorities later clarified no shots were fired inside the terminal. Tourists in Puerto Vallarta were advised to shelter in place, and flights were canceled, leaving hundreds stranded. However, by early Monday morning, it appears the Mexican military has largely retaken both cities, using helicopters and armored vehicles.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum praised the military’s efforts, stating, “In most parts of the country, activities are proceeding normally.” The operation to capture El Mencho involved the Mexican Army, National Guard, and Air Force, with intelligence support from the United States, which had offered a $15 million reward for his capture. “El Mencho was a top target for the Mexican and United States government as one of the top traffickers of fentanyl into our homeland,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said late Sunday on the capture and death of the cartel leader.

The National Pulse previously reported that U.S. President Donald J. Trump has weighed potential ground strikes against Central and South American drug cartels. While action was taken in Venezuela to topple the far-left narco-dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro, the Trump administration has been more hesitant to clear strikes in Mexico.

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Two illegal immigrants were arrested in connection with a violent home invasion in North Carolina that involved kidnapping, sexual assault, and brutal physical attacks.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Zaid Mayen, Jonathan David Garcia-Larios, John Carlos Calderon, and an unnamed male victim.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The incident occurred last Wednesday in a Greenville, North Carolina, suburb.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This is a real-life nightmare. Burglarizing, kidnapping, assaulting, and sodomizing, and ripping off the fingernails of an innocent victim are extremely wicked and heinous.” – Outgoing Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin

🎯IMPACT: The suspects face multiple felony charges, and federal authorities have issued detainers against their release.

IN FULL

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed on Thursday that two illegal immigrants from Mexico, Zaid Mayen and Jonathan David Garcia-Larios, were arrested in connection with a violent home invasion in North Carolina. The attack, which occurred last Wednesday in a quiet Greenville suburb, involved the suspects breaking into a male victim’s home, restraining him, and subjecting him to brutal assaults, including sodomy and the removal of his fingernails.

DHS officials described the incident as “a real-life nightmare,” with outgoing Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stating, “Burglarizing, kidnapping, assaulting, and sodomizing, and ripping off the fingernails of an innocent victim are extremely wicked and heinous.” The suspects, aged 21 and 20, were arrested last Friday with assistance from U.S. Marshals and local law enforcement.

The two men, identified as a Chapel Hill resident and a previously deported homeless individual, entered the U.S. at an unknown time and date. DHS emphasized that these individuals had no prior criminal record in the U.S. but committed what the agency described as “horrific attacks.” A third suspect, John Carlos Calderon, was also arrested, though his immigration status remains under investigation.

All three suspects face first-degree felony charges, including forcible sexual assault, kidnapping, burglary, and the use of a deadly weapon with intent to kill causing serious injury. Garcia-Larios and Calderon are held without bond at the Pitt County Detention Center, while Mayen is held without bond at the Orange County Detention Center. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has issued detainers to ensure federal custody of the suspects.

The unnamed victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment and is recovering.

Another Illegal Immigrant Truck Driver Causes Deadly Crash.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A truck driver allegedly ran a red light, causing a fatal crash in Indiana. The driver was revealed to be an illegal immigrant from India.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The driver, Singh Sukhdeep, and the victim, 64-year-old Terry Schultz.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The crash occurred in Hendricks County, Indiana, just west of Indianapolis.

💬KEY QUOTE: “These tragedies are 100 percent preventable and we pray for the family and victim.” – Department of Homeland Security (DHS) statement

🎯IMPACT: The incident highlights the ongoing threat to Americans’ lives from illegal aliens operating commercial vehicles without proper knowledge of traffic laws.

IN FULL

A truck driver arrested Wednesday in connection with a deadly crash in Hendricks County, Indiana, has been identified by federal law enforcement sources as Singh Sukhdeep, an Indian national in the United States illegally. Sukhdeep obtained his commercial driver’s license (CDL) in May 2025 after first being apprehended at the U.S. border in 2018 and later released under the Flores consent decree. The Flores policy stems from the 1993 Supreme Court case Reno v. Flores, which limited how long minors could be detained and allowed their release to family members or sponsors.

The collision took place west of Indianapolis when a Freightliner semi-truck allegedly ran a red light and struck a Chevrolet pickup. The force of the crash pushed the pickup across a median into another vehicle. The pickup’s driver, 64-year-old Terry Schultz, was pronounced dead at the scene. Sukhdeep is currently in custody with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said: “This tragedy comes less than two weeks after another illegal alien driving a semi truck killed four innocent people in Indiana. It is incredibly dangerous for illegal aliens, who often don’t know our traffic laws or even English, to be operating semi-trucks on America’s roads. These tragedies are 100 percent preventable and we pray for the family and victim.”

The incident follows several other recent deadly crashes involving illegal immigrant truck drivers. In Oregon, Indian national Rajinder Kumar was charged after a crash that killed a newlywed couple. Federal officials have also announced stepped-up enforcement of English-language proficiency standards for commercial drivers, disqualifying more than 9,500 drivers who failed required testing. In October, authorities reported the arrest of 146 illegal immigrant truck drivers during a broader enforcement operation.

Another recent Indiana case involved a truck driver from Kazakhstan who allegedly caused a crash that killed four people after entering the U.S. in 2023 and later obtaining a CDL. In a separate August case, an Indian national was charged with vehicular homicide following a fatal wreck; he had reportedly failed an English proficiency test.

Mistrial Declared in Anti-ICE Antifa Sniper Ambush Case.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A federal judge declared a mistrial in a case involving nine alleged Antifa members accused of ambushing a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman, defense attorney MarQuetta Clayton, nine alleged Antifa members, and federal prosecutors.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The mistrial was declared on Tuesday in the Northern District of Texas; the alleged ambush occurred on July 4, 2025, at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I don’t know why in the world you would think that’s appropriate.” – Judge Pittman.

🎯IMPACT: A new pool of jurors will be brought in, and the defense attorney may face sanctions for her attire.

IN FULL

U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman declared a mistrial Tuesday in the Northern District of Texas in the case against nine alleged Antifa members accused of ambushing the Prairieland ICE Detention Center. The decision came before a jury was seated and followed controversy surrounding defense attorney MarQuetta Clayton’s courtroom attire.

Clayton, who represents defendant Maricela Rueda, wore a T-shirt beneath her blazer displaying civil rights leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr. and Shirley Chisholm. The shirt also appeared to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson, who had died that same day. Judge Pittman rebuked the choice, stating, “I don’t know why in the world you would think that’s appropriate.”

Tensions also arose during jury selection after Clayton referenced constitutional protest rights and Jackson’s death. During questioning, a portion of the 75 prospective jurors voiced anti-ICE and anti-Trump views, complicating efforts to seat an impartial panel. Pittman dismissed the group and said a new pool of roughly 130 jurors would be summoned the following week.

Federal prosecutors allege the defendants participated in a July 4, 2025, attack on the detention center in Alvarado, accusing members of what they describe as a North Texas Antifa cell of launching fireworks, vandalizing property, and firing at federal officers. An Alvarado police officer responding to the scene was shot in the neck but survived. Authorities have characterized the case as the first federal prosecution treating Antifa as a domestic terrorist group.

Attorney General Pam Bondi recently directed federal law enforcement to examine people linked to Antifa for potential domestic terrorism and tax violations. Separate federal cases have also targeted self-identified Antifa activists on charges ranging from threats against immigration officers to alleged involvement in politically motivated violence.

In explaining his ruling, Pittman compared Clayton’s shirt to a prosecutor wearing overtly political imagery, such as “a prosecutor wearing an ICE pin” or “a shirt with Donald Trump riding an eagle” alongside an ICE flag. He emphasized, “Politics—as prevalent as they are, as divided as they are—don’t have any business here.”

Clayton could face sanctions over the incident as the court prepares to restart the trial with a new jury pool.

Dem Sanctuary State Released Illegal Charged With Child Molestation.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: An illegal immigrant from Ecuador, charged with sexual abuse of a child, was captured by federal authorities after being released due to Connecticut’s sanctuary policies.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Christian Espinosa-Sarango, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

📍WHEN & WHERE: Arrested on February 13 in North Haven, Connecticut, following charges filed on December 19, 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “These are the types of monsters Connecticut sanctuary politicians are releasing from their jails and onto the streets to perpetuate more crimes against children.” – Outgoing DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin

🎯IMPACT: The case highlights the dangers of sanctuary policies and the necessity of federal-local law enforcement cooperation.

IN FULL

Officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Christian Espinosa-Sarango, an Ecuadorian national unlawfully present in the United States, on February 13 in North Haven, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Espinosa-Sarango faces charges filed December 19, 2025, including sexual assault, illegal sexual contact with a child, and enticing minors with a computer.

Court records state he communicated online with an undercover law enforcement officer posing as the aunt of a 13-year-old girl. After being told the girl’s age, he allegedly requested explicit photographs, proposed sexual encounters, and arranged to meet her at a hotel, where authorities arrested him.

Officials said Espinosa-Sarango attempted to flee in his vehicle during the arrest, forcing officers to break a car window to take him into custody.

ICE lodged a detainer request with local law enforcement on December 23, but it was not honored under Connecticut’s sanctuary policies, resulting in his release. DHS criticized the state’s Trust Act, which limits cooperation between local agencies and federal immigration authorities.

Outgoing DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin condemned the policies, stating, “These are the types of monsters Connecticut sanctuary politicians are releasing from their jails and onto the streets to perpetuate more crimes against children.” She added, “We need local law enforcement to cooperate with us to get these heinous criminals out of our neighborhoods. Sanctuary policies make Americans less safe.”

McLaughlin praised ICE agents for apprehending Espinosa-Sarango, saying, “Thankfully, because of our brave ICE agents, Christian Espinosa-Sarango, a pedophile, will never walk American streets again. Sanctuary politicians must stop releasing pedophiles, murderers, rapists, and kidnappers into our neighborhoods.”

Alleged Epstein Co-Conspirator Les Wexner Tells Congress He Was ‘Naïve, Foolish, and Gullible.’

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Billionaire Les Wexner testified before the House Oversight Committee, claiming he was “duped by a world-class con man” and had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes despite being implicated as an alleged co-conspirator.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Les Wexner, Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the Ohio State University, and members of the House Oversight Committee.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Wexner’s testimony occurred on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, in Ohio during a closed-door deposition.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I was naïve, foolish, and gullible to put any trust in Jeffrey Epstein. He was a con man.” – Les Wexner

🎯IMPACT: The deposition adds to ongoing scrutiny over Epstein’s network and the release of over three million pages of files under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

IN FULL

Alleged Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirator and billionaire retail magnate Les Wexner testified before the U.S. House Oversight Committee on Wednesday in a special, behind-closed-doors hearing held in Ohio. Wexner, who hired Epstein to manage his wealth in the mid-1980s, stated, “I was naïve, foolish, and gullible to put any trust in Jeffrey Epstein. He was a con man.”

Wexner, who founded the clothing retailer The Limited and Bath & Body Works, while also acquiring brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, Victoria’s Secret, and La Senza, claimed he had no knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities, despite being implicated in alleged sex trafficking by documents found in the recently released Epstein Files. Wexner, 88, explained he severed ties with Epstein nearly two decades ago following Epstein’s 2006 arrest. He emphasized, “I have done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide.”

An influential figure in both Ohio and national U.S. politics, especially regarding U.S. support for Israel, Wexner has been embroiled in a number of serious controversies and scandals over the decades. Some in Columbus, Ohio, maintain—despite only tenuous evidence—that the retail billionaire was involved in the March 6, 1985, assassination of Arthur L. Shapiro, an attorney with Schwartz Shapiro Kelm & Warren who represented Wexner’s The Limited retail conglomerate. While Shapiros’s mafia-style murder remains unsolved, local police dismissed Wexner as a suspect—instead pointing the finger at the attorney’s business associate Berry Kessler.

Meanwhile, Wexner became a central figure in the Ohio State University wrestler abuse scandal in late 2019. The athletes who alleged abuse at the hands of the team doctor decades prior demanded the school also address its financial ties to Wexner—one of the university’s biggest donors—due to the billionaire’s ties to Epstein.

The House Oversight deposition follows the release of over three million pages of documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, with Wexner’s name appearing over 4,000 times in the files. Wexner is alleged to have ignored complaints by his company’s executives in the mid-1990s that Epstein was using his ties to the retail mogul to pose as a Victoria’s Secret recruiter to gain access to young women aspiring to become fashion models.

Actress Alicia Arden alleged in a police report filed in Los Angeles in 1997 that Epstein had sexually assaulted her while posing as a recruiter for the Wexner-owned lingerie company. Meanwhile, another Epstein accuser, Maria Farmer, filed a police report in 1996, which alleges that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell sexually assaulted her at Wexner’s Ohio estate, where she worked as an artist-in-residence.

Wexner publicly severed his ties to Epstein over a year after charges were filed against the pedophile financier in 2006. However, a 2019 Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) document listed Wexner as one of Epstein’s “10 co-conspirators.”
