Christopher Wray, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), was left floundering at a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing last week when Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) pressed him on whether associates of sex traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell are still under investigation.
“We know that Jeffrey Epstein, who’s now deceased, and [Ghislaine] Maxwell, his associate who’s now in prison, were engaged in a conspiracy of sex trafficking with minors. So were others,” Sen. Kennedy said, asking: “What’s the FBI doing to investigate the other people that were involved in the sex trafficking rings?”
A visibly uncomfortable Wray said he was “not sure” if he could “confirm any specific individual” was still under investigation, but Kennedy continued to press him.
IS THERE STILL AN INVESTIGATION?
“Jeffrey Epstein had video surveillance in all of his homes and on his private island,” said Kennedy in reference to Little Saint James, visited by the likes of Democrat megadonor Reid Hoffman before Epstein’s death.
“There have been articles after articles from witnesses who have said he videotaped sex acts with prominent people [and] young girls that he procured,” Kennedy recalled.
“The FBI and other federal agencies have raided [Epstein’s] houses. Do you have those tapes?” he demanded.
“I can’t discuss the specifics of our law-enforcement operations related to Mr. Epstein or Miss Maxwell,” Wray squirmed. He said the FBI “had” run an extensive investigation into the pair but insisted he could not say whether anyone else was under investigation.
“I just want to know if these prominent people are above the law and aren’t being investigated, or is the FBI investigating?” Kennedy pushed.
“Well, no one is above the law, number one,” Wray claimed. “As to whether specific people are being investigated, that’s not something, as I’m sure you can appreciate, I can engage on.”
“I’m not sure there’s anything I can share with you on that,” Wray replied.
Around 85,000children may have been trafficked in the U.S. on Joe Biden’s watch.

Donald Trump’s description of migrant crime as an emerging “new category of crime” continued to be vindicated over the last week, with The National Pulse finding many examples of illegal alien criminals and accused criminals victimizing Americans and eating into public resources.
WOULD-BE COP KILLER.
The highest-profile illegal alien to be criminally charged in recent days is Bernardo Raul Castro Mato, a 19-year-old Venezuelan accused of shooting two New York Police Department (NYPD) officers during a foot chase.
Mato allegedly shot NYPD Officer Christopher Abreu, 26, in the leg, and Officer Richard Yarusso, 26, in the chest, before being brought down by gunfire himself. The Venezuelan is a suspect in several scooter-borne robberies, often targeting women. He crossed the border illegally last summer, but the immigration case against him was closed.
MOST WANTED.
Texas has unveiled a ’10 Most Wanted Criminal Illegal Immigrants’ list, featuring nine at-large pedophiles and one captured murderer who had violated his parole conditions. The ten illegals are all described as ‘White (Hispanic),’ with the Lone Star State offering rewards of up to $5,000 for the top five and $3,000 for the remainder.
“When President Joe Biden took office, he dismantled every effective border policy his predecessor put into place,” commented Governor Greg Abbott. “As a result, we have seen record high levels of illegal immigration, including dangerous criminals and terrorists who are a threat to the public safety of our state and our nation,” he added.
U.S.-FUNDED TERRORIST.
A radical Islamic terrorist who fought with an effectively U.S.-backed al-Qaeda faction in Syria is due to be sentenced in California.
Mura Kurashev, originally from the Russian Federation’s Muslim-majority Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, near Chechnya, sent thousands of dollars to al-Qaeda after crossing the U.S. southern border with his family.
VICTIMIZING THE MOST VULNERABLE.
Rigberto Hoyos-Alban, a Colombian illegal, has been apprehended by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after being charged with four counts of sexual assault and one count of assault against “a person with a severe mental handicap” in Rhode Island.
“This is not the type of individual we want walking the streets of our New England neighborhoods,” said ICE official Todd M. Lyons.
Hoyos-Alban crossed the border illegally in November. Like many of the illegals featured in The National Pulse’s migrant crime round-ups, he was let loose among the public by the local authorities after being charged despite ICE issuing a detainer request against him.
GUATEMALAN PEDOPHILE.
ICE announced it had detained Raul Calderon-Interiano, convicted of sexually abusing a Maryland minor, on Monday. As with Hoyos-Alban, he was set at liberty among the public in defiance of an ICE detainer despite the agency describing him as “a significant threat” to Maryland children.
Baltimore County Detention Center not only refused to honor the ICE detainer against the pedophile, they did not even inform ICE of the date they released him.
THE PACIFIC THEATER.
While the southern border is the main front in the ongoing illegal immigration crisis, other fronts are opening up—not only to the north and off the coast of Florida, but in the Pacific Ocean.
Fourteen Chinese nationals have been convicted of engaging in a conspiracy to transport, move, or attempt to transport or move illegal aliens to the U.S. territory of Guam by boat. However, only two were given prison sentences; short terms of 12 and eight months.
NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE.
Seven suspected people-smugglers have been arrested after driving over two dozen illegals across the southern border packed into a secret trailer compartment.
The migrants were found in a “shack” outside San Antonio, Texas, suffering from heat exhaustion and dehydration. Eleven were hospitalized.
COVER-UP?
Following the shooting of NYPD officers Christopher Abreu and Richard Yarusso, described at the beginning of this round-up, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis “submitted a [Freedom of Information Law] request to see how many crimes are being committed in & around migrant shelters.”
She says city officials have “stonewalled [and] pushed their response time back from May 22 to August 19,” offering this as further “proof that Biden’s ‘innocent asylum seekers’ are NOT being vetted.”
“Are they purposely evading transparency to cover up the facts, or have there have been so many crimes committed by those residing in our city illegally that they need another three months to calculate the numbers?”
“We have a new category of crime. It’s called migrant crime, and it’s going to be worse than any other form of crime,” @realDonaldTrump told Laura Ingraham. pic.twitter.com/FrdQLSFKPB

The Louisiana Legislature has approved a bill allowing judges to order surgical castration for those convicted of sex crimes against children under the age of 13. The bill now awaits the signature of Republican Gov. Jeff Landry. If signed, Louisiana would become the first state to implement such a punishment.
The bill was passed by the GOP-controlled legislature and gives judges the option to sentence someone to surgical castration following a conviction for certain aggravated sex crimes. These crimes include rape, incest, and molestation of children younger than 13. Currently, Louisiana and a few other states, such as Alabama, California, Florida, and Texas, permit chemical castration. This involves drugs that reduce testosterone levels and decrease sex drive.
Some states allow predator offenders to opt for surgical castration, but no state currently permits a judge to impose surgical castration directly.
“This is a consequence,” said Republican state Sen. Valarie Hodges during a committee hearing in April. “It’s a step over and beyond just going to jail and getting out.”
The castration bill received overwhelming support in both legislative chambers, with opposition coming mostly from Democrats. Notably, however, Democratic state Sen. Regina Barrow authored the legislation, arguing the need for an additional deterrent and punishment for such crimes.
“The legislation addresses heinous acts against children,” Barrow said during an April committee meeting.
Governor Landry has yet to indicate his intention to sign it into law. As Louisiana’s Attorney General, he generally pursued an America First agenda, moving lawsuits against the Joe Biden regime for pressuring and colluding with tech firms to censor Americans and asking the Supreme Court to reject 2020 election results in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, citing voting irregularities.

Two New York Police Department (NYPD) officers were shot early Monday morning by an illegal alien from Venezuela following an attempted traffic stop. The shooting occurred at approximately 1:40 AM at the intersection of 89th Street and 23rd Avenue. During the stop attempt, the suspect, identified as 19-year-old Bernardo Raul Castro-Mata, allegedly jumped off his scooter and fled on foot. As the officers pursued him, the suspect opened fire at them. They returned fire, hitting Castro-Mata in the ankle.
Both police officers were subsequently treated for their injuries and released from the hospital. One officer sustained a gunshot wound to the leg, while the other was saved by his bulletproof vest.
Donald Trump has warned of the rise in Venezuelan migrant crime, stressing the need to stop the ultra-violent Tren de Aragua gang, which also operates across Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, and Panama, from turning its foothold in the U.S. into an entrenched position.
The former president’s tough stance against crime has earned the endorsement of thousands of New York bodegas. He is polling surprisingly close to Joe Biden, who endorses pro-criminal policies, such as cashless bail, in the Empire State. Sixty-four percent of New Yorkers blame Biden for the migrant crisis, and 70 percent believe he is unfit for office.
Castro-Mata crossed into the United States through Eagle Pass, Texas, in July 2023. The burden imposed on law enforcement by criminal migrants has become enormous under Biden, with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tasked with monitoring 617,000 illegals with criminal records or pending criminal charges — more than the entire population of the State of Wyoming.

Jury selection for the federal gun case against Hunter Biden, son of Joe Biden, begins Monday. The trial comes after a “sweetheart” plea deal with prosecutors fell apart when Judge Maryellen Noreika interrogated its unusually generous terms.
Hunter has been charged in Delaware with three felonies related to a 2018 firearm purchase. His memoirs say he was abusing crack cocaine during this period. The First Son is accused of lying to a federally licensed gun dealer, falsely claiming he was not a drug abuser on his firearm application, and possessing the gun illegally for 11 days.
He has pleaded not guilty, alleging the Justice Department is unfairly targeting him despite the special treatment in his now-defunct plea deal.
During jury selection, the judge will question prospective jurors about their political activities and views on the upcoming election, as well as their opinions on firearms purchases and drug addiction.
Separately, Hunter is also facing a California trial in September for allegedly failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes. The aforementioned plea deal would have dealt with these charges as well.
FAMILY BUSINESS.
Hunter’s upcoming trials do not center on his foreign business deals. Joe Biden allegedly played a role in these, indicating broader corruption within the Biden family.
Messages Hunter exchanged with a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official from Joe Biden’s Delaware home before he became President show Hunter threatening, “I am sitting here with my father, and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled… [I] will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”
Joe Biden has long denied any involvement in his son’s business schemes. However, Rep. James Comer’s House Oversight Committee found Hunter’s China-linked Owasco PC firm made “direct monthly payments to Joe Biden.”

The individual responsible for attacking multiple people at an anti-Islamization rally in the German city of Mannheim on Friday has been identified as Sulaiman A., a 25-year-old Afghan migrant. A graphic video of the attack shows the Afghan national and resident of Hesse attacking people at a rally against Islamist extremism organized by the Citizens’ Movement Pax Europa (BpE), described as a counter-jihad group.
Multiple people attempted to restrain the attacker, including a police officerwho appeared to be stabbed in the neck while trying to bring the attacker to the ground. A second police officer then shot the suspect, wounding him.
German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has raised the possibility that the attack could be Islamist-motivated. “If the investigations reveal an Islamist motive, this would be a further confirmation of the great danger posed by Islamist acts of violence,” she said in a statement.
The National Pulse has previously reported that migrants in Germany have been the source of a wave of violent crime. Recent data disclosed by Germany‘s Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) revealed that foreign migrants, who account for just 14.6 percent of the country’s population, were implicated in 58.5 percent of all violent crimes in the country.
Meanwhile, the German Interior Ministry has confirmed that the number of foreign criminal suspects surged to approximately 923,000 in 2023, a rise of almost a fifth year over year.

Illegal Venezuelan immigrant Jose Ibarra, charged with the murder of Augusta University student Laken Riley, entered a not-guilty plea during his arraignment on Friday. Ibarra, 26, is facing a ten-count indictment related to the death of Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student attacked on February 22 while jogging on dirt trails on the University of Georgia campus in Athens.
The arraignment occurred at Athens-Clarke County Superior Courthouse, where Riley’s mother, Allyson Phillips, was visibly emotional — breaking down in tears. The judge has scheduled a status hearing for August, with the trial expected to occur later in the fall.
Ibarra faces multiple charges, including malice murder, two counts of kidnapping with bodily injury, two counts of aggravated assault with intent to rape, two counts of aggravated battery, obstructing or hindering a person from making a 911 call, tampering with evidence, and being a “peeping Tom.”
The indictment alleges that Ibarra caused Riley’s death by blunt-force trauma to her head and asphyxiating her in an unspecified manner. He is also accused of spying on a university staff member in an apartment on the same day of the alleged murder.
Ibarra resided in an apartment complex near the on-campus park where Riley was jogging. University of Georgia Police Chief Jeffrey Clark described the incident as a “crime of opportunity,” noting the proximity of Ibarra‘s apartment to the crime scene.
Records indicate that Ibarra, originally from Venezuela, entered the United States illegally through El Paso, Texas, in September 2022. He was reportedly released into the U.S. on parole, according to sources from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Former President Donald J. Trump has repeatedly blasted the Biden government for its open borders policies, which have allowed murderers like Ibarra to enter the country illegally.

A Pakistani migrant in New York was arrested after he allegedly jumped a curb and attempted to mow down a group of students and rabbis outside a Jewish school in Brooklyn. Asghar Ali, 58, reportedly slammed on his brakes before turning his car around and accelerating toward the group outside the Mesivta Nachlas Yakov School in Canarsie, according to Fox 5.
Witnesses alleged that the driver was yelling antisemitic slurs. He also yelled, “I’m going to kill all the Jews.” Police say Mr. Ali was driving a white Ford sedan on Glenwood Road before turning east on 55th Street, where he allegedly drove towards the pedestrians on Wednesday.
Mr. Ali reportedly attempted to flee the scene but was apprehended by community members and police. No one was injured in the attack, police said. A police report stated that five victims were allegedly targeted, including three 18-year-old men, a 41-year-old man, and a 44-year-old man.
Mr. Ali, a Pakistani immigrant who drives a cab, reportedly has a history of mental illness and four prior arrests. Simon Gifter, a freelance journalist at the police station during Ali’s detainment, stated that he heard the suspect ranting inside the facility. “I was outside and I heard him screaming non-stop like a maniac,” Gifter told ABC7.
Jewish community leader Leon Goldenberg told local news that Jewish organizations in the city feared such attacks in the wake of Israel’s ongoing military action in Gaza.”There is a real fear in the community that this is just one incident and that something more tragic will happen. Much more tragic,” he said.
Muslim migrants across the West have committed violent crimes in the name of opposing Israeli actions in Gaza. In April, an Afghan migrant in the UK stabbed a 70-year-old to death in the name of Gaza.

An illegalalien mother and another illegal immigrant man are facing serious charges after allegations of sexual assault involving a minor. Authorities have charged Elia Antonio, a 33-year-old illegal alien, with trafficking her 12-year-old daughter, failing to protect a child, and two counts of misdemeanor bail jumping. Antonio’s arrest follows disturbing allegations leveled by Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin prosecutors.
Juan Carlos Rocha Mejia, a 31-year-old illegalalien from Nicaragua, has also been taken into custody. He faces charges of first-degree sexual assault, child enticement, strangulation, and false imprisonment. Mejia crossed the United States-Mexico border in October 2021 and was released into the U.S. interior by the Biden government.
The investigation revealed that Rocha Mejia, identified as Antonio’s boyfriend by the victim, allegedly paid over $250 to be alone with Antonio’s daughter. According to the young girl’s statement to police, she was directed by Antonio to get into a van before being taken to Rocha Mejia’s residence. It is reported that Antonio instructed her to move to the backseat before she exited the vehicle, and Rocha Mejia assumed control of the van.
The alleged series of events continued with Rocha Mejia driving to Oakfield, where he climbed into the backseat and purportedly sexually assaulted the girl. The victim managed to escape and ultimately reached a nearby residence, where she contacted law enforcement to report the incident.
Both Antonio and Rocha Mejia are currently held in local custody with $1 million cash bail each. Their preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 7.

In Grand Rapids, Michigan, Brandon Ortiz-Vite, a previously deported illegalalien from Mexico, will stand trial for the alleged execution-style murder of 25-year-old Ruby Garcia. Ortiz-Vite, also 25, faces multiple charges, including felony murder, open murder, carjacking, carrying a concealed weapon, and felony possession of a firearm.
A judge confirmed on Wednesday that sufficient evidence exists to proceed with the trial. According to the prosecution, Ortiz-Vite and Garcia were in a relationship at the time of her death. Prosecutors allege that on March 22, Ortiz-Vite made Garcia pull over while they were in her car on U.S. Highway 131. He then allegedly shot her four times — twice in the head, once in the arm, and once in the hand.
Garcia’s body was found on the side of the highway. On March 24, Ortiz-Vite called authorities to turn himself in, reportedly admitting to the crime. “I am calling because I want to turn myself in [for] a murder I committed two nights ago,” Ortiz-Vite allegedly said to dispatchers. “I know what I did was wrong and I will do the time, I just don’t want to die inside.”
Officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed that Ortiz-Vite had been deported to Mexico in 2020. In addition to the current charges, Ortiz-Vite had a bench warrant issued in 2020 for failing to appear in court on drunk driving and driving with a suspended license charges. His criminal record includes incidents from 2017 and 2018 as well.
Ortiz-Vite remains in the Kent County Correctional Facility without bail and is facing a possible life sentence without parole. The trial date has not yet been set.
