Soft Sentences for Migrants Who Gang Raped Preteen Girl.

A gang of up to 17 migrants, most of them supposedly minors, brutally raped a 12-year-old European girl and passed her around as a “trophy,” even filming some of the abuse. The young Austrian girl was repeatedly subjected to sex attacks over a period of several months from February to June of 2023 in Vienna, according to police.

The sex attacks took place in a variety of locations, from apartments to parking garages and other places across the Austrian capital. Police announced they were investigating the group of migrants on March 1 of this year, stating they come from several countries, including Afghanistan, Turkey, Syria, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Italy.

Two of the suspects are below the age of 14, the age of criminal liability, while 12 are between 14 and 18. An Austrian court has already convicted the 18-year-old “boyfriend” of the girl, an Afghan, who was supposedly 15 at the time of the abuse.

The Afghan, named Wais, is also said to have impregnated the victim, made her get an abortion, and used explicit footage of her to blackmail her. He claimed at his trial that he thought their relationship was fine because he was also a minor. The judge in the case sentenced the teenager to just 15 months of probation and a small fine.

Another suspect, a 16-year-old Syrian, also attempted to blackmail the girl with pornographic footage of her and allegedly raped her in a railway station. He was later acquitted after claiming he did not know the victim was 12 at the time.

This State Is Releasing Illegal Alien Rapists.

A review by CBS News discovered that Massachusetts has been releasing illegal aliens charged with violent crimes—including child rape—from courts and jails on low bail without allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) the opportunity to intervene.

The details: The review of the ICE press releases conducted by CBS Boston found:

  • An illegal from Guatemala charged with three counts of aggravated child rape was released on $7,500 bail.
  • Another Guatemalan illegal was charged with aggravated child rape and released on $7,500 bail.
  • A Honduran illegal accused of attempted rape and armed robbery walked free on $0 bail.
  • Two child rape suspects in Worcester County were released on $500 bail.

Making matters worse: ICE issued a detainer in the first three instances mentioned above but was ignored.

The law: Massachusetts, per a 2017 court ruling, prohibits holding individuals solely on ICE detainers. And when judges set bail, they cannot use immigration status as a factor.

Good news: This month, ICE and federal law enforcement apprehended 370 illegals in Massachusetts during an operation targeting organized crime, gangs, and other egregious offenders.

The last word goes to Border Czar Tom Homan, who last month took aim at Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox for releasing violent illegals into the community, saying:

  • “You’re not a police commissioner. Take that badge off your chest. Put it in the desk drawer.”

Three Illegals Charged After Deadly Hit and Run.

A group of illegal immigrants have been arrested in Texas after fleeing the scene of a drunk-driving crash that killed a 22-year-old man. The fiery crash occurred this past weekend in Arlington, Texas, when Cesar Ramirez Castro—a 25-year-old illegal immigrant behind the wheel of a Ford F-150—swerved onto the shoulder of Interstate 20 and hit a vehicle stopped on the side of the highway. The impact forced the parked vehicle into a concrete wall along the side of the highway, where it subsequently burst into flames, killing its unidentified 22-year-old driver.

Following the deadly crash, Cesar Ramirez Castro and two passengers in the truck, Marcelino Ramirez-Ramirez, 30 years old, and Daniel Castro Zammarron, 24 years old, were seen fleeing the scene. All three illegal immigrants were eventually arrested, with Ramirez Castro failing a field sobriety test. Following the arrests, Ramirez Castro was charged with a single count of manslaughter while intoxicated and one count of collision involving death. The two passengers have been charged with public intoxication, and all three men have received immigration detainers.

Numerous state governments across the U.S. have passed provisions allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses. This has led to several high-profile incidents where American citizens have been killed on the road by illegal immigrant drivers. In several cases, the illegal immigrant was intoxicated at the time. Last September, an illegal immigrant in Missouri was charged with killing a police officer while driving drunk. The Honduran national had a prior driving while intoxicated (DWI) conviction.

Meanwhile, last summer, an illegal immigrant from Mexico—who had been deported 16 times—killed a Colorado man in a deadly accident involving five vehicles.

Obama-Era Judge Demands Better Treatment for Tren de Aragua Gang Members.

On Monday, a federal judge made a bizarre attempt to rebuke the Trump administration’s approach to deporting alleged gang members under a rarely used 18th-century statute, suggesting that these individuals were afforded fewer rights than Nazis detained by the U.S. during World War II. The law in question, the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, was invoked by President Donald J. Trump to forcibly remove illegal immigrants purported to be part of a Venezuelan gang known as Tren de Aragua by labeling them as enemy aliens.

“There were plane loads of people. There were no procedures in place to notify people,” Washington D.C. Circuit Court Judge Patricia Millett—appointed to the bench by former President Barack Obama—said before making the absurd claim: “Nazis got better treatment under the Alien Enemies Act.”

Judge Millett is part of a three-judge panel with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit currently hearing an appeal from the Trump administration seeking to overturn a District Court judge’s temporary restraining order preventing the deportation of alleged Tren de Aragua members to El Salvador. The National Pulse previously reported that around 200 suspected gang members were deported under the Alien Enemies Act before District Court Judge James Boasberg blocked further removals.

The Justice Department (DOJ) defended its actions, with Deputy Assistant Attorney General Drew Ensign disputing the comparison to Nazi treatment. “Well, Your Honor, we certainly dispute the Nazi analogy,” Ensign said, objecting to Judge Millett’s claim. Eventually, the judge and DOJ attorney agreed that the arguments had entered “unprecedented territory.”

A ruling from the D.C. Circuit panel on the Trump administration’s appeal of the lower court restraining order is expected later this week.

Trump Admin Accelerates Termination of Fraud-Plagued Biden Migrant Parole Program.

The Trump administration has announced the termination of a Biden-era parole program that allowed approximately 530,000 foreign nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the United States. The decision to end the CHNV program was disclosed in a memo from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), citing the program’s inconsistency with the current administration’s policy objectives and its failure to substantially benefit the public interest or effectively manage illegal immigration.

“DHS has determined that it is now appropriate and necessary to terminate the CHNV parole programs,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem states in the directive. “These programs do not serve a significant public benefit, are not necessary to reduce levels of illegal immigration, did not sufficiently mitigate the domestic effects of illegal immigration, are not serving their intended purposes, and are inconsistent with the Administration’s foreign policy goals.”

“Regarding previous arguments or determinations that these programs were consistent with the requirement of ‘urgent humanitarian reasons’ for granting parole, DHS believes that consideration of any urgent humanitarian reasons for granting parole is best addressed on a case-by-case basis consistent with the statute, and taking into consideration each alien’s specific circumstances,” Sec. Noem continues, concluding: “These reasons, independently and cumulatively, support termination of the CHNV parole programs.”

WIDESPREAD FRAUD.

Introduced initially for Venezuelans in October 2022 and subsequently extended to include Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Cubans in January 2023, the CHNV program aimed to address the surging crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. It provided a two-year stay and work authorization for eligible entrants who had not previously entered the U.S. illegally and met other criteria. Despite this, the initiative faced significant challenges, including widespread fraud, which led to a temporary suspension in August 2024 after an internal audit flagged substantial security concerns.

As a result of the program’s termination, individuals currently in the U.S. under the CHNV program will need to seek alternative legal methods to remain in the country, voluntarily depart, or face potential deportation proceedings. The program’s cessation is set to impact all participants by the end of April, as outlined in the DHS memo.

Sanders Admits Trump Is Doing a Good Job on Border Security and Fentanyl.

Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) has admitted that President Donald J. Trump’s actions on border security and fentanyl trafficking are succeeding. Asked by ABC News if the America First leader had gotten anything right so far, the Democrat-aligned but notionally independent Vermont lawmaker said, “Yeah, I mean, I think cracking down on fentanyl, making sure our borders are stronger.”

Sanders, best known for running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016 and 2020 on far-left policy platforms, claimed, “Nobody thinks illegal immigration”—which reached record levels under former President Joe Biden—”is appropriate.” However, he went on to criticize Trump’s goal of deporting an estimated 20 million illegal aliens.

“I happen to think we need comprehensive immigration reform, but I don’t think it’s appropriate for people to be coming across the border illegally,” he said, but added, “[President Trump] wants to deport 20 million people who are in this country who are undocumented [sic]. Well, you do that, you destroy the entire country.”

To justify this, the 84-year-old resorted to the well-worn leftist trope of illegal aliens being required to work the country’s fields and slaughterhouses, saying, “Trump’s billionaire friends are not going to pick the crops in California that feed us. They’re not going to work in meatpacking houses. That’s what undocumented [sic] people are doing.”

Skeptics of illegal alien labor argue that much agricultural work could instead be handled by hiring Americans, recruiting legal migrants holding H-2A Temporary Agricultural Workers Program visas, and especially automation—where investment is currently disincentivized by the ready availability of cheap foreign labor.

Meanwhile, meatpacking was once a source of prized union jobs, with wages significantly above the national average for manual work and good benefits. Illegal immigration has, in many ways, returned the sector to the brutal conditions of the 19th and early 20th century, with low-paid workers—including minors—working in dirty and dangerous conditions.

Venezuela Bends to Trump, Deportation Flights Restart.

The Trump administration has resumed deportation flights carrying returning Venezuelan illegal immigrants back to their country of origin. Venezuela consented to the resumption of deportation flights over the weekend, according to the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs.

“Today, deportation flights of Venezuelan illegal aliens to their homeland resumed via Honduras. These individuals had no legal basis to remain in the United States,” the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday. “We expect to see a consistent flow of deportation flights to Venezuela going forward. Thank you to Honduran President [Xiomara] Castro and her government for partnering to combat illegal immigration.”

At least one flight operated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carrying Venezuelan nationals who illegally immigrated to the U.S. landed at Soto Cano Air Base in Honduras on Sunday. The U.S. has previously used this location as a transfer point for deportees. Simultaneously, a flight from the Venezuelan national airline, Conviasa, was also expected at Soto Cano. This suggested a coordinated transfer effort between the two countries.

Honduras’s Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Enrique Reina, confirmed on social media that Honduras is cooperating with both the U.S. and Venezuela in this effort. He stated that 199 Venezuelan nationals were transferred from a U.S.-flagged aircraft to a Venezuelan one at the base. Meanwhile, the President of Venezuela’s National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, also publicly confirmed the agreement with the U.S. government to resume the repatriation process.

Border Patrol Chief Warns of Cartels Engaging in Drone Warfare.

The chief of the U.S. Border Patrol has issued a stark warning to Mexican drug cartels, citing the increasing threat of drone warfare between rival criminal groups. Mike Banks, the Border Patrol chief, emphasized the agency’s preparedness in dealing with such violence.

“We have seen cartel-on-cartel violence that involves drones. We prepare and train to be ready to fight the enemy on any ground,” Banks said during a recent media appearance. “We’re impacting the cartels’ ability to make billions of dollars.”

Cartels have intensified their conflicts over control of trafficking routes and territory, heightening concerns about potential spillover violence into the United States. In response, President Donald J. Trump designated multiple Mexican and Central and South American cartels and gangs as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs).

The presence of drones at the border, such as a DJI Mavic 3 observed near Yuma, Arizona, highlights the sophisticated methods cartels use. Banks highlighted an increased risk of violence crossing the border, with multiple incidents and drone infiltrations noted. While agents are encountering only around 250 individuals daily—a figure significantly down under Trump from the thousands of daily encounters that occurred under former President Joe Biden—there remains a significant watchfulness for cartel operations.

Recent months have seen alarming cartel actions in the southern border region, including American fatalities from improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and shootouts with border agents. In one incident, suspected cartel members retreated to Fronton Island after engaging U.S. agents.

Some lawmakers want stronger measures against the cartels. Meanwhile, President Trump has hinted at potential military interventions in Mexico to dismantle drug operations.

UFC Legend Conor McGregor Enters Race for Irish Presidency.

Conor McGregor, the renowned UFC fighter and former multi-division champion, has declared his intention to run for the presidency of Ireland. Announcing his candidacy on social media platforms X and Instagram, McGregor focused his campaign message on his opposition to the European Union’s Migration Pact.

Recent meetings between McGregor, U.S. President Donald J. Trump, and tech billionaire Elon Musk seem to have galvanized McGregor’s political ambition. The 36-year-old contender criticized Ireland’s commitment to the pact, pledging to hold a referendum should he be elected. “It is the people of Ireland’s choice,” McGregor emphasized in his campaign statement.

During his visit to Washington, D.C., on March 17, McGregor expressed discontent with current Irish policies, slamming Ireland’s migration policies and saying the country is being “overrun” by illegal aliens.

However, the role McGregor seeks is largely ceremonial, with limited powers compared to executive presidencies like that in the U.S. The Irish president’s duties include endorsing legislation passed by Parliament—with no obvious veto power—and serving as a symbolic figurehead.

Moreover, the Irish political establishment tightly controls who is allowed to run for the presidency, with McGregor unable to enter the race unless a minimum number of national legislators or local governments agree to nominate him.

McGregor has been a firm opponent of mass migration on social media and has been targetted by the Irish government over allegations of hate speech, with police launching an investigation against him in 2023. McGregor had stated, “Ireland, we are at war,” following a mass stabbing of children in Dublin that year.

Illegal Aliens Escape Federal Facility, Local Authorities Refuse to Assist.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) says local law enforcement in Aurora, Colorado, refused to assist them after two illegal immigrants escaped from a detention facility located near the city during a power outage. According to ICE officials, Joel Jose Gonzalez-Gonzalez, 32, and Geilond Vido-Romero, 24, fled the Denver Contract Detention Facility late Tuesday when the facility experienced an unexpected power failure. After discovering the absence of the detainees during a routine check, federal immigration officers notified local law enforcement, who declined to assist with a broader community search.

While additional state and federal law enforcement agencies were also notified, both illegal immigrant escapees remain at large, and the search efforts continue. Aurora Police Department claims that ICE did not contact them until several hours after the two illegal immigrants escaped, insisting, “This was a cold event from the time we were notified.”

“As a municipal law enforcement agency, we do not enforce federal immigration law and cannot engage in larger-scale searches or follow-ups,” they added.

Vido-Romero, the younger of the two, had been detained by ICE the previous month following local charges in Castle Rock. He had illegally entered the U.S. via Eagle Pass, Texas, in December 2023, and was awaiting deportation to Venezuela. Gonzalez-Gonzalez, who entered the U.S. through El Paso, Texas, in February 2013, was detained by federal authorities last month after being held at the Adams County Jail in Brighton on local charges. He was awaiting immigration proceedings at the time of his escape from the ICE facility.
