Rahamim ‘Rami’ Shy, a former senior advisor in the Barack Obama administration, has been arraigned in Great Britain on child sex offense charges. Shy, who previously coordinated the U.S. government’s strategy against Al Qaeda and the Taliban, is accused of arranging the commission of a child sex offense and possessing indecent images of minors.
Shy, a U.S. citizen residing in New Jersey, served under Obama and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, holding key positions at the Treasury between 2008 and 2014. He was most recently an executive at Citi, although the banking group now says he is no longer an employee.
Shy appeared before Luton Crown Court on Friday via video link from His Majesty’s Prison Bedford. He was not asked to enter a plea.
Following the charges, Shy has ceased employment with Citi. He is expected to be remanded in custody until at least June, and his trial is currently scheduled for August.
Several former members of the Obama and Joe Biden governments have run into difficulties with law enforcement over the last year. In November 2023, former Obama advisor Stuart Seldowitz was charged with a hate crime after a xenophobic rant against an Egyptian street vendor in New York. In May 2023, non-binary drag queen Sam Brinton, formerly an official at the Office of Nuclear Energy, was arrested as a fugitive from justice.
Brinton, whose role in the Biden regime was first exposed by The National Pulse, had top-level “Q clearance,” but was fired after being caught stealing women’s underwear from airport luggage while on government business.

Migrant crime, which Donald Trump has described as a “new category of crime” as a result of the border crisis under Joe Biden, is continuing to drain public resources. Wanted murderers, rapists, and kidnappers were recently apprehended, along with predators charged with targeting children in the U.S.
THE MS-13 RACKETEER.
On Monday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported that Jose Lainez-Martinez, an MS-13 gang member based in Silver Spring, Maryland, had been imprisoned for 24 years. Lainez-Martinez had been involved in “a pattern of racketeering activity that included murder, conspiracy to commit murder, extortion, and drug distribution.”
“The acts of Jose Lainez-Martinez and other members of this violent transnational criminal organization led to the tragic loss of a young man’s life,” confirmed a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agent.
The investigation into the Salvadoran gangster consumed resources from HSI, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Montgomery County Police Department.
In a separate case reported on Wednesday, an MS-13 member described as a “violent felon and a threat to Maryland residents” was arrested by ICE deportation officers. He had previously been convicted of conspiracy, armed robbery, and weapons charges in the U.S.
THE BRAZILIAN PEDOPHILE.
ICE reported the detention of an accused pedophile in Massachusetts on Monday. He was initially let loose among the public by the courts in defiance of a detainer request.
The unnamed Brazilian crossed the U.S. border illegally in July 2021. He was detained by Border Patrol but soon released. By 2023 he had been arrested for driving without a license and, more seriously, rape of a child and enticement of a child under 16.
In January 2024, he was arrested as a fugitive from justice. ICE lodged a detainer request, but Milford District Court failed to honor it when he posted bail. ICE finally took him into custody in late March.
“This Brazilian noncitizen is accused of sexually abusing a Massachusetts minor,” commented ICE field office director Todd Lyons.
“Every second he spends roaming free in our communities, he represents a potential threat to the children of our communities.”
THE RAPIST AND THE KIDNAPPER.
On Wednesday, ICE confirmed the deportation of another Brazilian, wanted in his home country for “the offense of rape of a vulnerable individual, or statutory rape of a minor 14 years of age or younger.”
Altair Jose Portuense-Lana’s deportation was a convoluted process. He first crossed the U.S. border illegally in July 2021, being apprehended by Border Patrol but released under a so-called Alternative to Detention (ATD) program.
By 2022, he had been arrested for the assault and battery of a family member and “intimidation of witnesses, jurors and persons furnishing information in connection with criminal proceedings.” He was hit with “multiple charges of threats to commit a crime and with violation of a restraining/abuse prevention order” later the same year.
Not until March 2024 did an immigration judge issue an order for his removal, with ICE noting he was “being sought for sex offenses in Brazil and represented a threat to New England residents as long as he was walking our streets.”
Also on Wednesday, ICE confirmed the arrest of a Romanian man wanted for kidnapping in his home country. The unnamed 25-year-old, who had been deported once before, was caught reentering the U.S. at the Rio Grande Valley border sector in May 2021. Released with an order to appear before an immigration judge, ICE discovered him living in Fresno, California, in March this year.
THE COLOMBIAN KILLER.
On Thursday, ICE confirmed the arrest of a Colombian illegal alien convicted of premeditated murder in his home country. After serving just four years in prison, the unnamed 44-year-old made his way to the U.S., entering undetected as a so-called “gotaway.”
He was arrested in September 2022 but denied having a criminal record and was paroled through an ATD program. It was a full year before ICE realized they had cut loose a convicted murderer and another five months before he was taken into custody in Hartford, Connecticut.
“This Colombian national lied to immigration officials about his violent past in order to gain entrance into the United States,” commented an ICE field office director. “We cannot allow convicted murderers to roam freely in our New England neighborhoods.”
FREE TO KILL.
On Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed a driver who killed Kurt Englehart, an adviser to Democrat Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, is an illegal alien.
Elmer Rueda-Linares “entered the United States March 12, 2021, at or near the Rio Grande City, Texas, Port of Entry without inspection by an immigration official,” the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) admitted.
“United States Customs and Border Protection arrested him, and he was later released on his own recognizance June 22, 2021.”
After years at large in the country, Rueda-Linares was involved in the deadly crash in Nevada on April 6. He was initially charged with a felony hit-and-run, but this has been downgraded to failing to stop at the scene of an accident.
THE SCALE OF THE PROBLEM.
The above examples of illegal aliens victimizing U.S. residents and consuming public resources are illustrative rather than exhaustive. Some indication of the full scale of migrant crime, dismissed as “negligible” by leftist commentators such as MSNBC’s Joy Reid, was given by Rep. Glenn Grothman, Chairman of the House National Security, Border, and Foreign Affairs Subcommittee, during a hearing on Tuesday.
Grothman indicated that ICE is attempting to monitor at least 6 million illegal aliens. Of these, 617,000 — greater than the population of Wyoming — are known to have criminal records or pending criminal charges.
“The fact is that illegal aliens should not be in the country in the first place and able to commit these crimes,” Grothman said, urging the Biden regime to “stop releasing illegal aliens into the country in droves.”

Investigative reporter Laura Loomer has released footage of illegal aliens assaulting her and colleague Angela Van Der Pluym at the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan. Used as a migrant processing center and temporary shelter, the Pakistani-government-owned hotel has been the site of dozens of arrests.
Loomer reported she and Van Der Pluym were attacked by an illegal who tried to steal their phones. The reporters had “caught them on camera possibly engaging in a drug deal.”
“I called [the New York City Police Department] after the illegals attacked us, and the illegal tried resisting arrest once the officers arrived,” she recounted, sharing footage of officers hurling the migrant in question to the ground and kicking another migrant who tried to intervene.
“While he was being arrested, the other illegals swarmed us while shouting at us because they didn’t want us recording,” she added.
Loomer said it was “unclear if the suspect was ever actually booked.” Despite her and her colleague being “assaulted, robbed, and intimidated,” she suggested responding officers were reluctant to act decisively, and “were clearly agitated and became completely unreasonable as illegals with a gang mentality began to swarm the scene.”
“America is no longer America. There is zero law and order in American cities thanks to [Joe Biden’s] policies,” Loomer added.
CRIMINAL BASE.
The Roosevelt Hotel has become a base for migrant criminals. In February, a trio of migrants living at the hotel embarked on a string of robberies. The gang stole “clothing, shoes and fragrances” worth thousands of dollars. They were found to have drugs and drug paraphernalia and a car with bogus license plates when they were arrested.
Democrat Mayor Eric Adams warned last year that migrants would “destroy” New York City. Previously, he praised Joe Biden for halting border wall construction and declared his city a “sanctuary.”
In a visit to Harlem earlier this week, Donald Trump lamented that New York has “gone so bad in the last three years, four years.”
“We’re going to straighten New York out,” he vowed.

An Oklahoma resident, Sean Patrick Palmer, was arrested and charged Wednesday for an alleged pipe bombattack against the Massachusetts headquarters of The Satanic Temple.
The 49-year-old is accused of using an explosive to damage the Salem-based building, which also operates as an art gallery. If convicted, Palmer could serve up to 20 years in prison and face a fine of $250,000.
Surveillance footage captured a man approaching the building around 4 AM on April 8, wearing a facial covering, tactical vest, and gloves. He ignited an improvised explosive device before fleeing. Authorities say the bomb partially detonated, causing minor fire damage. DNA was uncovered from a single hair on the partially detonated device.
A six-page note urging repentance was found in a nearby flowerbed. Palmer had allegedly made similar comments on social media. Investigators also noted a black Volvo, registered to Palmer, acting erratically in the vicinity before and after the incident. Records affirmed that Palmer had recently purchased PVC pipe, the suspected bomb material, from a home improvement store in Oklahoma.
In 2023, the Satanic Temple erected an idol of the demon Baphomet in the Iowa State Capitol. Christian veteran Michael Cassidy beheaded the idol, resulting in his arrest. He was charged with a hate crime because the vandalism was motivated by “the victim’s religion,” according to the prosecutors.
Corporate media outlet POLITICOdescribed Satanists as “people of faith” like Jews or Episcopalians earlier the same year, while Cosmopolitan magazine promoted Satanic abortions.

Timothy Pearson, a top aide to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, has been accused of sexual harassment, discrimination, and retaliation in a second lawsuit filed against him on Wednesday. The legal action marks the latest controversy facing either Adams himself or a close associate.
A former New York Police Department (NYPD) inspector, Pearson, is alleged to have engaged in retaliation and discrimination against retired NYPD sergeant Michael Ferrari while the latter worked in the Mayor‘s Office of Municipal Services Assessment. Ferrari claims he was forced into early retirement and lost $2 million in salary and pension benefits due to demotion, which he alleges happened after he raised concerns about Pearson’s behavior.
HARASSMENT AND CORRUPTION.
The lawsuit — filed in the New York Supreme Court in Manhattan — follows an initial claim lodged by retired NYPD sergeant Roxanne Ludemann accusing Pearson of harassment and retaliation after she rejected his inappropriate advances last March. Ferrari does not allege receiving personal advances from Pearson but insists he witnessed his untoward conduct towards female colleagues.
According to Ferrari’s lawsuit, he was appointed by a superior to supervise Pearson’s interaction with female colleagues. His complaint points to a pervasive “hostile work environment” impacting all team members, irrespective of gender. The lawsuit also refers to Pearson’s alleged commentary regarding city contracts — particularly the discontinuation of an illegal immigrant shelter due to flooding — which, it asserts, expressed his intent to exploit such situations financially.
MAYOR ADAMS UNDER SCRUTINY.
Pearson isn’t the only New York City official accused of sexual crimes and public corruption. Mayor Eric Adams himself was accused of committing sexual assault last November. The alleged incident took place in 1993.
Adams is also the subject of two additional probes involving campaign finance schemes. The FBI is investigating his 2021 mayoral campaign over foreign donations. Meanwhile, the Democrat mayor has also been tied to a straw-donor scheme by supports hoping to gain lucrative city contracts.

In New York, a Haitian national, Kenol Baptiste, now faces charges for the murder of two individuals following his entry into the United States via parole, facilitated through the Biden regime’s CBP One application. The application, initially developed under the Trump administration, was massively expanded under the Biden government, allowing the regime to fast-track the parole process and allow up to 1,450 migrants per day to arrange entry processing.
Baptiste, who was arrested on April 1 in Middletown, NY, is accused of second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter, and fourth-degree criminal weapon possession. The victims succumbed to multiple stab wounds. Baptiste was apprehended in a nearby woodland region by the police’s K9 team and subsequently detained at Orange County Jail.
Baptiste was documented to have arrived in the U.S. in July 2023 via the Paso Del Norte port of entry in El Paso, Texas. He scheduled his port entry using the CBP One app, was paroled into the U.S., and was given notice to appear in immigrationcourt. ICE has since issued a detainer for Baptiste, requesting that he be transferred to ICE custody upon his release from jail.
Republicans have criticized the expanded use of the app, which since 2023 has enabled over 547,000 individuals to schedule appointments. Critics describe it as a ‘concierge service’ for illegal aliens. The application is not solely restricted to ports of entry but also permits up to 30,000 migrants from countries including Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to arrive in the US directly, once parole approval is granted. Most of the illegals flown directly into the country by the Biden regime have gained entry via the app.
Last month, another Haitian illegal who entered the country under Biden’s parole program was charged with raping a 15-year-old girl in Massachusetts.

A Disney Cruise Line crew member, Tirso Neri, has been arrested by U.S. Border Control and Homeland Security agents under allegations of child pornography possession. Neri, 44, from the Philippines, is the third person from the Disney-owned company to face such charges this year.
The arrest was carried out following the discovery of explicit content, encompassing both photos and videos, depicting children as young as nine on his phone. The content was found by agents who examined his cabin when his ship, the Disney Dream, arrived at Port Everglades in Florida from the Bahamas.
Neri’s arrest follows an investigation that started in late December. Neri’s device held a folder bearing a minor’s name, including several explicit images and videos of her, along with a picture of her Philippines passport.
More videos were found showing a boy between 10-12 years old engaging in sexual acts with a girl aged 12-14, and another showing a naked young girl next to a man.
Neri is currently facing charges of child pornography possession and transportation at Broward Main Jail.
Disney Cruise Line has stated they no longer employ Neri.
Earlier this year, Alvin Gonzales, 49, and Amiel Trazo, 28, also from the Philippines and former Disney Dream employees, were arrested on similar charges. Dozens of Disney employees have been charged with child sex offenses in recent years.

Far-left YouTube personality Hasan Piker appears to be encouraging his social media followers to shoot Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR). In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Piker — who is also known as ‘HasanAbi’ — responded to calls by Cotton for the average American to stand up to pro-Hamasdemonstrators who block bridges and road traffic with an image of an improvised gun which at least 1.6 million people have viewed.
Threatening a Member of Congress is considered a felony under federal law. Offenders are often charged under 18 U.S. Code § 875 (c), which states: “Whoever transmits in interstate or foreign commerce any communication containing any threat to kidnap any person or any threat to injure the person of another, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.”
Piker, a Turkish-American, has a history of engaging in radical politics and making threats against those he deems his political enemies. The former producer for the progressive internet show The Young Turks, Piker attacked Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) — who lost an eye while serving in Afghanistan — during a Twitch stream in 2019.
“What the fuck is wrong with this dude? Didn’t he go to war and like literally lose his eye because some mujahideen, a brave fucking soldier fucked his eye hole with their dick?” Piker ranted to his viewers. He followed up his comments on Crenshaw, declaring: “America deserved 9/11.”
Despite being a self-described ‘leftist’ and ‘democratic socialist,’ Piker has lived a life of comfort and luxury. His lucrative social media enterprises on YouTube and Twitch have bolstered his family’s wealth, allowing Piker to purchase a $2.7 million mansion in West Hollywood, California, in 2021. Piker is the nephew of the founder of The Young Turks show and radical progressive activist Cenk Uygur.

On Tuesday, former President Donald Trump stepped away from his criminal trial to visit Hamilton Heights bodega worker Jose Alba. Alba had been charged with murder after defending himself against Austin Simon, an ex-convict who jumped the counter in his store back in July 2022. The charges were brought by Alvin Bragg, the Democrat district attorney currently prosecuting Trump in Manhattan.
During his visit to the bodega, Trump was greeted with enthusiastic support. Crowds sang The Star-Spangled Banner and chanted “four more years!” Trump promised them that a new administration was “going to be saving America” after the presidential elections in November.
Alba’s aborted prosecution, which earned public backlash after security footage indicated he acted in self-defense, has given weight to Trump’s campaigning against the Democrats’ harsh attitude towards the law-abiding and leniency towards lawbreakers.
“There’s no crime,” Trump said of Bragg’s case against him. “You know where the crime is? In the bodegas where they come and rob them every week. Alvin Bragg does nothing. He goes after guys like Trump who did nothing wrong,”
During his visit, Trump expressed his fondness for New York City and said his campaign would be “making a big play” for its traditionally Democrat-voting state in November.
“I love this city, and it’s gone so bad in the last three years, four years, and we’re going to straighten New York out,” he promised.

Adam Hetke, a transgendersexoffender also known as Sabrina and a slew of other aliases, faces another conviction after a Wisconsin jury found him guilty of two counts of sexual assault. A biological male, the self-described transgender female ‘vampire’ was found to be mentally fit to stand trial earlier this month.
According to prosecutors, last July, the 35-year-old Hetke followed a mentallydisabled 16-year-old girl home from a gas station before sexually assaulting her. Upon his arrest, he was charged with first-degree sexual assault by threatening the use of a dangerous weapon and second-degree sexual assault of a mentally ill victim.
Hetke, who was released from prison for other sex crimes just a year prior, committed the assault while also under investigation for the alleged murder of Vydale Thompson-Moody, a 28-year-old man also with a mentaldisability. The registered sex offender is accused of strangling Thompson-Moody with an electrical cord.
A tentative homicide charge against Hetke was filed in Milwaukee in 2021, although the homicide investigation was considered to be ongoing. This resulted in the sex offender being released from custody. According to his roommates, Hetke confessed to the murder of Thompson and claimed to police he was “possessed by a demon.”
Since his most recent conviction, Hetke now faces a first-degree murder charge for the death of Thompson. The trial is slated to begin in June.
