Security forces in the Mexican desert near the U.S. border are on high alert following the discovery of a deceased 45-year, likely from heat stroke. The deceased man had been abandoned by his trafficker, who later buried him in the desert. Upon the family’s request, the trafficker disclosed the body’s location. During a search, authorities found six other migrants, one showing signs of dehydration. It is the second death from dehydration in Chihuahua state within a week. Temperatures in the area have exceeded 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit).
Migrants on their journey to the United States from Latin America navigate a landscape fraught with dangers, including hazardous river crossings, aggressive wildlife, and violent criminal gangs. Now, extreme heat poses an additional threat. The Mexican government has reported 155 heat-related deaths so far, with 30 occurring in the past week alone.
The U.S. Border Patrol has documented 77 deaths in the El Paso sector, which includes parts of Texas and New Mexico, since October. The leading causes of death in the area are heat stroke, drowning, and falls from the border wall.
The death toll highlights a dark side to Joe Biden’s open border policies. His mass parole of illegal immigrants, coupled with gifting them more work permits and new deportation protections, is incentivizing more people to undertake the potentially deadly journey to the U.S.
According to Mexico’s National Institute of Migration (INM), approximately 1.3 million migrants traversed Mexican territory between January and May of this year.
Heatwaves have also wrought havoc on the Islamic Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, with over 1,300 mostly unauthorized pilgrims perishing in the heat.

At least 1,301 pilgrims have died during the Islamic Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca this year amid a severe heatwave in Saudi Arabia. Temperatures have been surpassing 51°C (125°F).
Saudi Health Minister Fahd bin Abdurrahman Al-Jalajel reported that unauthorized pilgrims without permits comprised 83 percent of the fatalities. These individuals faced severe heat exposure due to a lack of proper shelter. At least 95 pilgrims are still receiving treatment.
The pilgrimage, which began on June 14, is a compulsory religious duty for Muslims who can physically and financially afford it. The Saudi government issues a limited number of visas annually, but many unauthorized pilgrims travel using tourist visas arranged by unlicensed tour operators. This has led to criticism of the government’s management of the pilgrimage, focusing on a shortage of air-conditioned tents, forcing many to seek refuge in overcrowded mosques.
Egyptian officials reported 660 fatalities, with only 31 having official authorization, resulting in the revocation of licenses for 16 travel agencies. Over 200 Indonesian pilgrims and 98 Indian pilgrims died. Other countries, including Pakistan, Malaysia, Jordan, Iran, Senegal, Sudan, and Tunisia, also confirmed fatalities. Jordan has detained travel agents involved in organizing unauthorized pilgrimages, and Tunisia’s President Kais Saied dismissed the minister of religious affairs after 49 Tunisian deaths. The identification of many deceased has been delayed by missing identification documents.
Deaths during Hajj are not uncommon, due to the long journeys and strenuous rituals involved. Past tragedies include a 2015 stampede in Mina that killed over 2,400 pilgrims and a 1990 stampede that killed over 1,426.

Joe Biden is seeking to promote a judge who described a pedophile as a man with “a lot of good in him” to the First Circuit Court of Appeals. Sentencing Michael T. Smith, convicted of molesting two girls aged four and nine, Maine Superior Court Justice Julia Lipez said, “People are complicated,” suspending half of his 12-year term.
“I have frankly been offered very little insight as to how or why this happened. What I can say is that this is a very tragic situation of a person who has a lot of good in him having done a very reprehensible thing to two young children,” Lipez said. “My hope is that, with the support of his family, he can lead a productive life going forward,” she added.
Senator John Kennedy confronted her over these remarks at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, where she proved evasive.
“This is what you said… ‘What I can say, you said, is that this is a very tragic situation of a person who has a lot of good in him—a lot of good in him—having done a very reprehensible thing to two young children, causing extreme damage.’ Did I read that correctly?”
Lipez initially avoided the question, saying she imposed the sentence the state requested. With Sen. Kennedy pressing her to confirm that the words were hers, she cast doubt on them. “That’s what was reported in the paper, Senator. I have not seen a transcript of the sentencing,” she said.
A pedophile molested 4- and 9-year-old girls.
Judge Julia Lipez called him “a person who has a lot of good in him”
SUSPENDED HALF of his jail sentence, giving him only 6 years behind bars.
The Biden regime describes Lipez’s nomination to the First Circuit as “fulfill[ing] the President’s promise to ensure that the nation’s courts reflect the diversity that is one of our greatest assets as a country.”
She is among Biden’s fiftieth round of nominees, bringing total federal judicial nominees to 244. This greatly exceeds Donald Trump’s 194 Article III court appointments.
MSNBC host Joy Reid recently praised diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) lawyers for driving the lawfare campaign against Trump.
“Donald Trump is being held to account by the very multicultural, multiracial democracy that he’s trying to dismantle. Go DEI. My DEIs are bringing it home,” she gloated.

Migrant crime, which Donald Trump has labeled a “new category of crime,” made waves in the media this past week, with a number of high-profile crimes sparking public outrage.
HANG HIM HIGH.
Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi, an Ecuadorian illegal, has been arrested in New York City for allegedly holding up a boy and girl, both aged 13, with a machete. Inga-Landi, 25, allegedly recorded himself raping the girl in a Queens park after binding and gagging the pair before robbing them.
He was captured by members of the public and given a beating before being turned over to the police. It has since transpired that he had at least three prior run-ins with the law, and an immigrationjudge ordered his deportation in 2022—but the Joe Biden regime did not execute it, and he was left at large.
Inga-Landi’s case has caused widespread anger, with Rep. Mike Collins of Georgia going so far as to call for him to be hanged from the border wall.
MOTHER OF FIVE.
The rape and murder of mother-of-five Rachel Morin, allegedly by Salvadoran illegal Victor Martinez Hernandez, has caused even greater anger.
Hernandez, 23, was also wanted for murder in his native El Salvador and for an attack on a mother and her young child in Los Angeles when he was arrested in Oklahoma for the 2023 slaying of Morin on a popular Maryland hiking trail.
“We are 1,800 miles from the southern border here in Harford County,” stressed Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler of Harford County, Maryland, in a press conference on the arrest.
“This is the second woman in our county to be killed by illegal suspects. In both cases, they are suspects from El Salvador with ties to criminal gangs. [This] should not be happening. Victor Hernandez did not come here to make a better life for himself… he came here to escape a crime he committed in El Salvador,” he railed.
Trump personally contacted Morin’s family to express his concerns, with her mother saying she was “deeply touched by President Trump’s kindness and concern.”
“He asked about Rachel and showed honest compassion for her untimely death. His words brought comfort to me during this very difficult time.”
FREED TO KILL.
It has been revealed that Pablo Jose Gutierrez-Morales, a 31-year-old illegal alien charged with stabbing a California man to death, carried out the killing just weeks after skipping an immigration hearing.
The Nicaraguan entered the U.S. illegally in 2022 and was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which says it “paroled [him] into the U.S. [to be] monitored by ICE’s Alternatives to Detention (ATD) with instructions to report to Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), Los Angeles for reporting.”
ICE gave up on these light restrictions a few months later, with disastrous results.
SIXTEEN-TIME DEPORTEE.
Ignacio Cruz-Mendoza, a 47-year-old Mexican illegal alien, has been charged with vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, reckless driving, and driving without a license after allegedly running down and killing Scott Miller, 64, in Colorado.
Cruz-Mendoza was working illegally as a driver for the Monique Trucking company when he swerved off the load and caused his cargo to fall onto five vehicles, killing Miller and severely injuring another driver.
The illegal had been deported from the U.S. on 16 previous occasions.
FIVE FUGITIVE KILLERS.
ICE has detained five illegals wanted for murder or another form of homicide over just two weeks in the Houston and Waco areas.
The wanted men include two Hondurans and three Mexicans, with one of the Hondurans “wanted in Mexico for multiple murders.” ICE reports the unnamed 38-year-old killed two people “during a botched attempt to highjack a shipment of illicit narcotics.”
One of the Mexicans had been deported once before, and another “voluntarily returned” three times.
MOST WANTED.
Two illegals on a Texan ‘most wanted’ list have been detained.
Servando Trejo Duran, Jr., 62, has a criminal record in the U.S. dating back to 1980 and has been deported previously. The Mexican was wanted for violating parole conditions related to a murder conviction and was No. 3 on the most wanted list.
Victor Hugo Chox Gonzalez, the No. 1 most wanted, has also been detained. He also has a lengthy criminal record and a previous deportation to his name and was most recently convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child in 2023.
DREAMERS.
Newly released U.S. Immigration and Customs Service (USCIS) data revealed that 765,166 so-called ‘Dreamers’ approved by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program had arrest records within five years of the launch of the Obama-Biden initiative.
Fully 10.38 percent of approved applications under DACA—which grants de facto amnesty to illegals arriving in the U.S. as minors—had prior arrest records, including for violent crimes and drunk driving.
Biden recently announced job opportunities and protections against deportation for “Dreamers” to mark the 12th anniversary of DACA. Many criticized the move as a naked attempt to shore up the Democrat’s support among minorities, which is collapsing ahead of the November election.

Former Trump advisor Stephen K. Bannon is asking the United States Supreme Court to intervene and stay his sentence for contempt of Congress pending appeal. In early June, afederal judge ordered the ally of former President Donald J. Trump to report to the Federal Correctional Institution, Danbury, on July 1.
Yesterday, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia rejectedBannon‘s emergency motion for release pending appeal. The three-judge panel was split on the decision 2-1. Following the appeals court’s denial of his motion, Bannon filed the same motion with the Supreme Court on Friday morning. Hours later, Chief Justice John Roberts ordered the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) to file a response with the high court by June 26.
Former U.S. Assistant Attorney General Jeff Clark has urged the Republican-controlled House of Representatives to swiftly act and file an amicus brief with the high court arguing that the previous Democrat-controlled Congress’s January 6Select Committee was improperly constituted. Consequently, this determination would render the committee’s subpoena power moot and should result in vacating the contempt charge against Bannon.
PELOSI’S IMPROPER J6 COMMITTEE.
In effect, staying the sentence would give Bannon time for Congress to formally act through the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (BLAG) to file an amicus brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit declaring that the Democrat-run January 6Committee was improperly constituted and thus had no subpoena authority.
The BLAG is a non-legislative committee within Congress that directs the actions of the House Office of General Counsel. House Republican leadership can use the BLAG to direct the General Counsel to file a brief with the appeals court stating that the House believes the January 6 Committee was improperly constituted by then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), effectively rendering the contempt charges against Bannon moot.
There are only 9 days left to keep Bannon out of federal prison.
Bannon’s team has just filed an emergency stay application in the Supreme Court. See snapshot of first two pages below.

The United States Supreme Court issued a ruling on Friday in Erlinger v. United States, which could have important implications for former President Donald J. Trump‘s appeal of the verdict in the Manhattan hush-money case and in the January 6 rioter prosecutions. In Erlinger, the court reaffirmed that a jury must be unanimous in its findings on a criminal conviction, even on underlying predicate crimes.
Additionally, the justices ruled that judges cannot arbitrarily impose sentence enhancements on convicted defendants and that judges cannot issue sentences for crimes beyond those of a jury that unanimously convicts. While the ruling does not directly intervene in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg‘s prosecution of the former President, it does open the question of the merit of the prosecution for Trump‘s appeal.
A BLOW TO BRAGG.
The Supreme Court‘s ruling will likely serve as one of the prongs on which former President Trump‘s defense attorneys will attack Bragg‘s case upon appeal. In late May, a Manhattan jury convicted Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records. The charges stemmed from allegations that Trump has paid hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to cover up an alleged affair and influence the 2016 presidential election.
Bragg could only prosecute the case because of an amorphous underlying federal felony that allowed him to resurrect the business record charges, which are beyond the statute of limitations. In his jury instructions, Judge JuanMerchan—who presided over the trial—told jurors they did not need to be unanimous on which federal felony would serve as the predicate crime underpinning the falsifying business record charges. In Erlinger,it appears the Supreme Court has determined that this action violates the defendant’s constitutional rights under the Sixth Amendment.
THE JAN 6 CASES.
In addition to the Manhattan hush money prosecution of former President Trump, Erlinger also has implications for the January 6 defendants. The court holds in its decision that enhanced sentencing of defendants cannot be issued through judicial fiat. Instead, judges must follow sentencing guidelines on the crimes for which a jury finds explicitly a defendant guilty.
Paul Erlinger was exposed to a potential life sentence as a felon who was found illegally in possession of a firearm after a judge applied predicate crimes, which allowed for enhanced sentencing. However, the predicate crimes in question were determined by the Supreme Court to no longer apply under the provisions used by the judge—and were not considered by the jury in their conviction of Erlinger.
While speculative, the Erlinger ruling suggests a high degree of skepticism among the justices toward the government’s enhanced sentencing procedures. This may indicate the Supreme Court intends to take this issue further in Fischer v. United States, which challenges the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ)’s use of a financial crimes law’s ‘obstruction of an official proceeding’ provision to secure enhanced sentences for the January 6 rioters. The court will likely hand down a ruling in Fischer next week.

Corrupt Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has falsely accused Reform UK leader Nigel Farage of being influenced by Russian government narratives. A “source” in Zelensky’s office told the Daily Mail: “The virus of Putinism, unfortunately, infects people.”
This follows Farage’s explanation during a BBC Panorama interview that Western actions precipitated Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called Farage’s “completely wrong,” arguing they somehow aid Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Home Secretary James Cleverly accused Farage of “echoing Putin’s justification” for the invasion, even though Farage’s comments on the matter have remained consistent for over 10 years, far prior to Putin’s invasion.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer condemned Farage’s remarks as “disgraceful,” insisting that Russia is the sole aggressor in the conflict.
Earlier this year, Britain’s former NATO Secretary General admitted in remarks to the New Statesman: “He’s not bothered about Nato, or Nato enlargement. He’s bothered by the European Union. The whole Ukraine crisis started with the offer of an [EU] accession agreement to Ukraine [in 2014].”
Leading economist Jeffrey Sachs also recently lectured Piers Morgan on the topic, blaming Western provocation and expansionism.
The debate continues as President Zelensky announced a significant milestone on Ukraine’s path to EU membership, which he hailed as a historic step.

Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi, an Ecuadorian illegal, was arraigned Wednesday for raping a 13-year-old girl on June 13 attack in Kissena Park, New York City, after binding and gagging her. Inga-Landi, 25, said he was “nervous at first, then got comfortable and recorded it” in a videotaped confession.
The incident has sparked fury across the country, with Rep. Mike Collins of Georgia calling for the illegal to receive the death penalty—”perhaps by hanging from the border wall.”
Judge Joanne B. Watters ordered Inga-Landi held without bail due to concerns over flight risk. “The brazen and brutal nature of this defendant’s actions are indicative of someone who does not follow the law, and who has no regard for anybody else, but himself, and he will not return to court,” Assistant District Attorney Kasey Esposito had warned, urging the judge not to bail the illegal.
An immigration judge ordered Inga-Landi to leave the country in 2022, but the Joe Biden regime failed to enforce his deportation.
Esposito revealed distressing details from Inga-Landi’s taped confession. The illegal described coming across the girl with a 13-year-old boy and threatening them with a “machete-style” blade. He then tied them up at knifepoint and raped the girl. Inga-Landi allegedly stole their phones after the assault.
Inga-Landi remained at large for five days after the rape, with a manhunt ending with his capture by New Yorkers who recognized him from suspect descriptions. They restrained him and called 911, which led to his arrest.
Inga-Landi faces a litany of charges, including first-degree rape, predatory sexual assault, and several counts of kidnapping and robbery. If convicted on the main charge, he could receive a maximum sentence of 25 years to life.

The Houston Police announced they have arrested Venezuelan illegal immigrants—Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26—in connection with the brutal rape and murder of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray in the Texas city. Nungaray’s body was found in a creek along West Rankin Road near I-45 in Houston on early Monday. Pena Ramos crossed into the U.S. through El Passo on May 28 and was released by the Biden government into the country pending a court appearance.
According to the city’s police department, surveillance footage from a convenience store revealed two men following Nungaray around 12AM Monday morning, just hours before her body was found. On Thursday, the two Venezuelan illegals were apprehended after a community-wide manhunt.
MURDERED AND DUMPED.
Nungaray snuck out of her mother’s home at some point on Sunday between 10PM and midnight and was on the phone with her 13-year-old boyfriend while outside the convenience store. Her boyfriend told police he could her hear speaking to two adults before she hung up. By 6:15AM on Monday, Nungaray was dead; her body was discovered by a woman passing by.
Early on Thursday, Houston police detained Johan Jose Rangel Martinez and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, initially under suspicion of the crime, after receiving a tip from someone in the community. The two Venezuelan illegal immigrants were placed under arrest after investigators discovered evidence connecting them to the murder in their apartment. They’re both charged with capital murder.
A HORRIBLE SCENE.
“It was a horrible scene,” Acting Chief of Police Larry Satterwhite said during a news conference on Thursday following the arrests. Satterwhite asked that members of the public come forward with any additional evidence “…to make sure we have the very best solid case so these individuals do not get released back into the field, back into the public where they could hurt other people.”
Some saw Satterwhite’s comments as criticism of local and federalprosecutors who have routinely released violent criminals and illegal immigrants into American communities.

Two fellow federal District Court judges attempted to push Judge Aileen Cannon to hand off the classified documents prosecution of former President Donald J. Trump to another judge in Miami, Florida. One of the judges involved in the intimidation effort was the Southern District of Florida chief judge, Cecilia M. Altonaga, who was appointed to the bench by former President George W. Bush.
Judge Altonaga’s husband, attorney George Mencio, has made extensive contributions to the Bush family’s political operations—suggesting the couple have a more Republican establishment-aligned and anti-Trump mentality. The other judge mentioned in a report on the matter by The New York Times was not identified by name.
PRESSURING CANNON.
The campaign to encourage Judge Cannon to hand off the case began when the unidentified District Court judge called her regarding concerns about the security of the classified documents. At the time, Judge Cannon’s Fort Pierce courthouse lacked a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF), which is required to review classified materials. However, the courthouse was subsequently outfitted with a secured space.
After the unidentified judge made the initial attempt, the effort to push out Judge Cannon escalated to the District Court’s chief judge. In an extraordinary move, Judge Altonaga called Cannon and is said to have informed her that overseeing the case would be bad optics for the court. She allegedly noted Judge Cannon’s intervention during the initial investigation and appointment of a special master to review the documents and determine if executive privilege applied to them was a problem from her view.
SMITH’S CANNON PROBLEM.
The nearly unprecedented attempt to intervene in the BidenDOJ special counsel Jack Smith‘s prosecution of the former President appears to add further credence to Trump‘s interference claims. Judge Cannon has been a harsh critic of Smith’s aggressive tactics, noting he has—on several occasions—engaged in ethically and legally dubious behavior.
On numerous occasions, the judge has taken Smith to task for his unprofessionalism and arrogance. Meanwhile, in May, Judge Cannon indefinitely suspended the trial date after Smith acknowledged that investigators may have tampered with and mishandled some classified materials by adding cover sheets, among other actions.
