Law enforcement in Sumter County, Florida, arrested Ricardo Agustin Lorenzo, an illegalalien hailing from Guatemala, on second-degree murder charges on April 13. Lorenzo is accused of stabbing a man to death at a Days Inn Hotel in Wildwood, Florida.
The suspect is believed to have fatally stabbed Bilder Pablo, also an illegalalien, and subsequently fled the scene. Police arrived on the scene and were able to locate Pablo. He was airlifted to a nearby hospital in Gainesville, Florida, where he died of his injuries.
After a brief manhunt, Ricardo Agustin Lorenzo was seen walking down Interstate 75 but attempted to flee when law enforcement arrived. He was quickly found hiding in a nearby wooded area. Police were able to take the illegalimmigrant and suspected murderer into custody without further incident. At this time, the motivation for the murder is not known.
Lorenzo is currently being held at the Sumter County Jail without the option for bail. In addition, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has placed a detainer request on Lorenzo, meaning they would take custody should he be released on bail or on the orders of a judge.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has encountered at least 145,000 illegalimmigrants from Guatemala already this fiscal year, according to data from ICE.

Miguel Hernandez-Ruiz, an illegal alien from Mexico, was charged with a first-degree home invasion and two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a person under the age of 13. The alleged assault occurred on March 20 in the Sweet Lake Mobile Home Park, Sturgis, Michigan.
Investigators determined the Mexican had victimized two pre-teen girls. He was captured in early April in Fort Wayne, Indiana, following a manhunt. He initially resisted extradition to the Wolverine State but was ultimately charged in St. Joseph County.
Hernandez-Ruiz entered the United States on an H-2A agricultural visa in August 2021 but became unlawfully present when he remained in the country after its expiration.
The St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Office says Hernandez-Ruiz is subject to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer ahead of a court appearance on April 30.
Local judges and law enforcement frequently ignore such detainers. The National Pulse has described several serious criminals who were able to victimize the public or left at large for an extended period after detainers were not honored in its regular migrant crime round-ups.
These include pedophiles from Brazil, Colombia, and India, who were all left at large for months after ICE detainers were ignored.

A group of illegalimmigrants flown to Martha’s Vinyard by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has received a special visa — and accompanying work permit —reserved for those who have been the victims of a crime. The illegals received a U-visa, which opens a pathway to potential permanent legal status.
Rachel Self, an attorney representing the illegals, says DeSantis duped her clients into boarding chartered flights from Texas. She claims they boarded the planes under the pretense they would receive jobs upon arrival in Massachusetts. Sheriff Javier Salazar from Bexar County, Texas, backed the visa push by Self and her clients. A Democrat, Salazar launched a criminal probe into the flights in late 2022. The sheriff alleges the illegalaliens were “exploited and hoodwinked into making this trip.”
At the time, DeSantis pushed back against Salazar’s accusations that the illegal immigrants were exploited. The Florida Governor’s office insisted the illegals voluntarily agreed to take the flights.
The United States Congress only permits the federal government to issue 10,000 U-visas annually. According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the visas are ostensibly granted to the “victims of certain crimes who have suffered mental or physical abuse and are helpful to law enforcement or government officials in the investigation or prosecution of criminal activity.”
No charges have ever been announced through the Bexar County investigation. However, the illegals were granted permission by a federal judge in Boston to bring a lawsuit against Florida-based company Vertol Systems Co., which managed the flights.

Joe Biden is considering granting an executive action that would grant temporary legalstatus and workpermits to illegalaliens in the United States, particularly those married to American citizens. National Democrat leaders, pushing the White House to action, believe the move could help push Hispanic voters to support Biden ahead of November’s presidential election.
Progressive lawmakers on Capitol Hill want Biden to pair the expanded work permits and legal status with any potential executive action to stymie the unchecked flow of illegals at the southern border. They contend that combining the two policy changes could help soften blowback from progressive and pro-open border voters should the Biden government try and enact more restrictive border policies.
Lagging behind former President Donald Trump in 2024 election polls, Biden has signaled — and subsequently backed down — on several occasions that he may use his authority as President to block illegalaliens from entering the United States if the number of crossings reaches a certain threshold. Some Democrats and progressive activists have criticized the Democratic incumbent for even considering the border policy change.
While some Democrats believe granting temporary legal status and work permits to the illegal alien spouses of U.S. citizens will help Biden with Hispanic voters, polling data continues to suggest otherwise. The National Pulse has reported on numerous national polls that show Hispanic voters, by and large, oppose Biden’s current open borders policy.
Additionally, Hispanic voters increasingly say they support the use of the term “illegal immigrant” to describe unauthorized border crossers. Support for mass deportation of illegal aliens — especially those who commit crimes — is also on the rise with Hispanic voters.

West Prep Academy, a New York City middle school with a significant percentage of special needs students, is planning on sending them to an unsafe 127-year-old building to make room for migrant kids. The school, in which 43 percent of students have special needs, and 90 percent are Black or Latino, shares a building with PS 145, which has been inundated with a surge in enrollment of migrant children.
“This building is not equipped to house students with special needs [or] students that don’t have any special needs — it’s not equipped, it’s 127 years old,” said Denise Johnson, a parent of a West Prep Academy sixth-grader. “The issue is we are coming from a building that is substantial, with all [the] equipment to service their students to a building that lacks resources.”
“The issue for me is the building in itself. It’s not up to par for anyone to go into learning — it looks like a jail. And I don’t think that’s something that our Black and Brown kids should be provided by based off of someone else’s decision,” Johnson added.
SMOKE SHOPS AND BUMS.
The new location to which West Prep’s special needs students are to be sent poses significant risks to student safety. It also lacks adequate access to a safe outdoor environment.
“There’s multiple doors on the floors, where the children can open and can wander around there. There are concerns in terms of outdoor space. We know that children that are part of the ASC nests program have mandated outdoor time and services that cannot be provided in that building,” said Kaliris Salas, a member of the DOE’s Panel of Educational Policy [PEP]. “And so in turn, a lot of us on the PEP are very concerned about this particular move.”
The 127-year-old facility also sits in a potentially dangerous neighborhood. “There’s smoke shops everywhere, and there’s also people outside that are bums,” said one parent.
New York City continues to struggle with the massive number of illegal aliens who have flooded the city as a result of the Biden regime’s continued failure to address the border crisis. Unfortunately, schoolchildren are often the ones paying the price. In January, students at James Madison High School were kicked out to make room for 1,900 illegal aliens.

The Washington Post is celebrating that over ten thousand illegalaliens — mainly from Venezuela — now operate much of the U.S. capital‘s food delivery infrastructure in an article published Sunday. The newspaper ignores or de-emphasizes the impact of this cheap illegal labor pool on the economy and public safety.
Focusing primarily on the experiences of the delivery drivers who zip around Washington, D.C., on mopeds, the paper ignores the perverse incentive the cheapillegalalienlabor has on companies like Uber, which have increased their ride-hail and delivery rates four times faster than inflation over the last two years. The increase in fees on consumers and reductions in driver pay have allowed the company to achieve an impressive 72 percent annual revenue growth rate.
The newspaper only gives passing mention of the safety concerns raised by local residents and the fact that almost all of the new drivers from Central and South America lack legal work permits. “As they pursue the months-long process of claiming asylum and applying for work permits, many immigrants have leaned on food delivery to stay afloat financially,” The Washington Post notes, while acknowledging that “some D.C. residents have publicly expressed frustration at what they say is erratic and unsafe behavior on the mopeds.”
Almost all the illegalalien delivery drivers in D.C. lack both driver and health insurance, and without official identifying documents, they also lack vehicle registrations — meaning they’re all operating on the streets in contravention of the law. This burgeoning illegal industry has made transiting the roadways around the nation’s capital more dangerous for residents and delivery drivers alike.
However, lawmakers at the local and national levels appear content to let the illegal delivery sector continue unabated despite its problems. Illegal and legal immigrant labor have helped the Biden government boost national employment numbers — with most of the U.S. labor force recovery driven by immigrants entering the job market. And, despite concerns that the immigrants —predominantly hailing from Venezuela — potentially have ties to the dangerous Tren de Aragua gang, the lure of increased consumption and corporate profits have incentivized Congress and the Biden government to take little action to address the border crisis.

Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) says there is serious concern over the scale of infiltration by the Venezuelan street gang Tren de Aragua. Encounters with the gang have spiked at the U.S.-Mexico border. Notorious for engaging in extortion, kidnapping, murder, and sex trafficking, Tren de Aragua has been gaining a foothold amid the ongoing border crisis.
Intelligence from the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) indicates members of Tren de Aragua continue to enter the U.S. illegally. The National Pulse previously reported that the brother of Jose Ibarra, the Venezuelan illegal immigrant who murdered Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, is a suspected member of Tren de Aragua.
According to Gonzales, the massive number of illegalimmigrants that continue to enter the U.S. no longer consists predominantly of Mexican nationals seeking work. Worryingly, he contended, it now includes criminalelements from other parts of the world.
“It’s no longer passive people just trying to kind of mosey about their business. It is a different element of people,” the Congressman told Fox News. He added: “They’re more aggressive, they’re demanding and they’re culturally not the same. And that’s why, once again, a district 70 percent Hispanic, the people in my district had enough.”
Gonzales said that border agents told him other detainees were afraid of the members of Tren de Aragua.
“You have to have ICE have the ability to go around and actively hunt these criminal aliens that have committed crimes, hunt them down, and deport them,” the Texas Republican said. Arguing for the massive round-up of illegal immigrants, he added: “That has to happen. And when it does happen, it can’t happen in a vacuum. People have to know what’s happening. And it can’t just happen in one part of the country. It has to happen throughout the country.”

The Biden regime’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is allocating $300 million to ‘sanctuary‘ cities offering support such as shelter and food to illegal aliens. In light of a surge in border crossings, this funding will be channeled through the Shelter and Services Program (SSP). The SSP funds non-federal bodies such as NGOs and local governments that aid illegal aliens who are released into the United States. Of the total funding, $275 million will be dispensed initially, with the remaining $25 million set aside for later in the year.
The program covers costs related to providing shelter, food, transportation, medical care, and personal hygiene to illegal aliens. Other expenses, such as the remodeling of existing facilities, clothing, translation services, outreach information, and administrative costs, are also included.
In addition to this, DHS disclosed an allocation of $340.9 million for the SSP competitive grant program. This comes after a distribution of over $780 million last year through SSP and another program to sanctuary cities and organizations providing services to illegals.
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data, the influx of illegal immigrants into the United States has skyrocketed in recent years, with exceptional numbers recorded in FY 2023 and the first six months of FY 2024.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) estimates that nearly 16 million illegal immigrants have entered the United States during President Biden’s tenure. Critics argue that policies under the current government have led to increased illegal entry into the country, citing a significant rise in the number of people on the terrorism watchlist attempting to cross the border unlawfully.

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.
