‘A New Category of Crime’ – Is Trump Right About Migrant Crime? Looking Back Over the Last Week.

“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,” Donald Trump warned during his latest town hall.

Last month, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 171 illegal aliens over the course of a two-week operation, convicted or charged with crimes including first-degree murder and child rape, indicating the former president is right to suggest mass migration is increasing crime in the United States.

Often, migrant crime can fly under the radar. Sometimes, this is because it is confined to local and regional news and does not reach a broad audience; sometimes, this is because media outlets consciously choose not to report a suspect’s immigration background and will describe an illegal alien based in Columbus, Ohio, as simply a “Columbus man.”

This does not mean migrant crime is not happening, however. Here are some examples from reports published the last week:

BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS.

The most-reported migrant crime of recent days is the murder of 22-year-old Laken Riley in Georgia. The suspect in the nursing student’s killing is  Jose Antonio Ibarra, a 26-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela. He crossed the border at El Paso, Texas, was briefly detained by officials, and then, like countless others, released into the country with no meaningful oversight.

Georgia’s Mike Collins (R-10) is in no doubt about who is responsible for this deadly carelessness: “The blood of Laken Riley is on the hands of Joe Biden, [Homeland Security Secretary] Alejandro Mayorkas, and the government of Athens-Clarke County.”

STABBED IN TIMES SQUARE.

Times Square, the scene of several altercations involving migrants in recent weeks, including a high-profile attack on police officers,  saw another on Thursday.

During a brawl reportedly involving “dozens” of people, ending with a 17-year-old boy being stabbed in the lower back.

“I saw someone running… and there was blood coming from his back, coming from everywhere,” said one eyewitness.

An unnamed 22-year-old and three migrant teenagers were arrested following the attack.

BITING THE HAND THAT FEEDS.

Still in New York City, migrants Dugleidy Gonzalez-Riera, 28, Yefferson Prieto-Galviz, 23, and Morelis Blanco-Cineros, 41, were arrested for stealing “clothing, shoes and fragrances” worth over $5,300 from a string of retail locations.

The trio, who initially gave false names to police, were also found to be in possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia, and the car they were driving had bogus license plates.

The migrants carried out their crimes while living in the Roosevelt Hotel at taxpayers’ expense.

MOB MENTALITY.

Randall’s Island, which hosts a tent city shelter for migrants, almost descended into riot earlier in the week as police officers attempted to arrest a migrant vigorously resisting arrest.

Fellow migrants grew restive, first heckling the officers and then pelting them with water bottles, backpacks, and other makeshift missiles in an incident captured on video.

AN AVOIDABLE TRAGEDY.

One of the saddest incidents in recent days involved the death of a 10-year-old boy, Alex Wise, in Texas.

Rogelio Ortiz, 50, who was in the United States despite having been removed from the country on six previous occasions, has been charged with mowing the boy down in a hit-and-run.

Ortiz also faces charges for driving while intoxicated.

SAFETY LAST.

An illegal alien from Guatemala, charged with molesting a child, has been released by a judge in Rhode Island despite being wanted by immigration authorities.

State Attorney General Peter Neronha expressed fury at the situation, as his office had “argued that the court should order the defendant held without bail on the grounds that he posed a danger to the community and was a flight risk.”

ICE confirmed the alleged pedophile reached the U.S. interior “without being inspected, admitted or paroled by an immigration official” — a reminder that the migrant “encounters” logged at the southern and northern borders are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of illegal entries.

THE CHICAGO STRANGLERS.

A final example, Venezuelan migrants Fernando Loyo-Rodriguez, 22, Wilker Gutierrez Sierra, 21, Carlos Carreno-Carreno, 20, and Yonnier Guasamucare Garcia, 18, were arrested in Chicago for attacking a 49-year-old man on a Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) train,

The attack did not take place in the very early or very late hours, but at 4:30 p.m., and saw the victim beaten, strangled to the point of unconsciousness, and robbed.

Like some of the other migrants on this list, the suspects are all confirmed to have been “staying in area shelters” on the taxpayers’ dime.

19-Year-Old Unabomber Fan Convicted on Terror Offenses.

Jacob Graham, a 19-year-old U.K. student, was convicted of a myriad of terror offenses by a Manchester Crown Court jury. These include one count of the preparation of terrorist acts, four counts of possession of information for terrorist purposes, and two of dissemination of a terrorist publication.

The offenses occurred between May 2022 and May 2023. Graham, from Norris Green, Liverpool, idolized the American terrorist Theodore “Unabomber” Kaczynski and adopted the moniker “Destro the Destroyer.” He created and disseminated manuals and instructions relating to the creation of weapons, explosives, and poisons from readily available materials.

Graham, a student at Hugh Baird College in Bootle, expressed discontentment with his life, attributing his dissatisfaction to the government. He equated dissatisfaction with what he perceived as governmental oppression of the working class. His arsenal included extensive information for constructing bombs, firearms, and ammunition, chemical components with explosive potential, and a 3D printer capable of producing homemade firearm parts.

The court heard Graham’s claim that his activities were “escapism and fantasy.” Despite his protests, police seized a myriad of potentially weaponizable materials from his home in May 2023. The evidence suggests that while Graham was not poised to commit terrorism, he was prepared to aid others in doing so. The court has ordered Graham to remain in custody until his sentencing on March 18.

Blood On Biden’s Hands: Venezuelan Illegal Murders 22-Year-Old Student Laken Riley Near College Campus.

President Joe Biden’s border policies are under scrutiny again, following the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley at the hands of illegal Venezuelan migrant Jose Antonio Ibarra this week. Riley, 22, was discovered dead near a lake on the University of Georgia campus on Friday.

Ibarra, 26, entered the U.S. in El Paso, Texas, in September 2022. He was released from a detention center shortly after, absconding into the United States like millions of others encouraged by the Biden government.

“The blood of Laken Riley is on the hands of Joe Biden, Alejandro Mayorkas, and the government of Athens-Clarke County,” Georgia’s Mike Collins (R-10) posted on X on Friday.

Riley was an undergraduate at the University of Georgia before transferring to the nursing program at Augusta University. Ibarra now faces multiple charges, including malice murder. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has called for Ibarra’s execution, stating, “Deportation is not enough. He deserves the death penalty.”

Eighty-one percent of voters class the current invasion of the United States as a “serious problem.”

AOC Heckled Over Mass Migration: ‘All You Care About Is Illegals And Their Votes!’

Chaos erupted at a town hall event in Queens, New York, hosted by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) after protestors began heckling the Congresswoman. The Thursday night event was billed as a discussion on ‘environmental justice’ but spiraled into a shouting match between the Congresswoman’s supporters and constituents who were angry about her inaction to halt the invasion of illegal immigrants at the U.S. southern border.

One attendee, in a video from the event, can be heard shouting, “All you care about is illegal aliens and their votes! You don’t care about your constituents!” Ocasio-Cortez, who is aligned with the far-left Democratic Socialists of America, has seen an uptick in protests at her town hall events over the past year — with voters especially animated over the Congresswoman’s opposition to curbing mass immigration.

“Doing Trump impressions isn’t how we beat Trump. Seeking asylum is a legal right of all people. In the face of authoritarian threat, we should not buckle on our principles – we should commit to them,” Rep. Ocasio-Cortez posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday night in response to news that President Joe Biden is considering an executive order enacting new restrictions on asylum seekers. She added: “The mere suggestion is outrageous and the President should refuse to sign it.”

Ocasio-Cortez and her progressive colleagues, who comprise a group nicknamed ‘The Squad,’ have increasingly made it difficult for Congress to address the border crisis. The group has staked out a position on the political far-left, vowing to defeat any legislative attempts to restrict the flow of illegal immigrants. Meanwhile, illegal immigration continues to be a top concern for American voters. The National Pulse previously reported that sixty-five percent of Americans believe ‘invasion’ is the correct description for the Biden-made immigration crisis.

San Diego Migrant Center Closing After Influx Drains Funds.

A migrant center in San Diego closed on Thursday after exhausting its funds to aid the substantial number of migrants crossing illegally into the county. The center, which reportedly assisted up to 800 migrants per day, had its resources strained by a significant surge in arrivals over recent weeks. CEO of the center, Kathie Lembo, stated that the facility’s finite resources were stretched to the limit.

The closure has ignited fears in nearby El Cajon, according to Mayor Bill Wells, who voiced his concerns on Fox News. “Over the past few months, we’ve seen 100,000 migrants come across the San Diego border,” Wells said. “A lot of those have been absorbed by this county shelter that used taxpayer money. They asked for $3 million, and they spent over $6 million, and now they say they’re out of money. So we’re going to see migrants congregating in our streets,” he continued. “I think it’s going to become a pretty serious problem pretty quickly.”

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data indicates that nearly 140,000 illegal immigrants have entered the San Diego area since the commencement of Fiscal Year 2024 on October 1. Wells further expressed apprehensions over an increasing number of daily drop-offs, potentially rising from 300 to 1,000 after the center’s closure. He mentioned the possible recourse of housing migrants in hotels despite the negative impacts on neighborhoods and security infrastructure.

Cities across the country are increasingly suffering significant strains on resources as a result of the unprecedented influx of migrants due to the border crisis.

Trump Admin Traitors Claim They Might Flee the Country If He Is Reelected.

Former fifth columnists in the first Donald Trump administration claim they are considering fleeing the country if he is reelected.

Trump officials turned critics, including Alexander Vindman, who assisted the failed first impeachment of the former president, and inveterate war hawk John Bolton, among others, have suggested they could be persecuted under a second Trump administration.

Former White House press secretary and drunk driver Stephanie Grisham, who turned on Trump after January 6th, said the prospect of his reelection is “terrifying” and that she has been saving money to move to a country with no extradition treaty with the U.S.

She indicated that even her mother suggested she is being unreasonable, but said of the former president: “I’m like, ‘OK, Mom. You don’t know him.’”

“I know of many prominent ‘never Trump’ advocates, including many Republicans, who are considering their options to leave the country were Trump to win in November,” added Mark Zaid, the lawyer who represented the so-called whistleblower who triggered the first impeachment of the former president in the Nancy Pelosi-led House of Representatives.

Famously, Trump did not attempt to have 2016 rival Hillary Clinton prosecuted after his inauguration in 2017, despite suggesting he might do so on the campaign trail.

He has himself been hit with dozens of indictments by the Joe Biden-controlled Justice Department and multiple Democrat state attorneys general and district attorneys, however.

Earlier this week, he explained his “revenge will be a success” if he returns to the White House.

Only 1 in 10 Europeans Believe Ukraine Can Win.

Only 10 percent of Europeans believe Ukraine can secure victory in its war with Russia, according to a European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) study. The study reveals that optimism for Ukraine’s military prospects among Europeans plummeted following its unsuccessful counteroffensive last year and Russia’s crushing victory against Ukraine in the recent Battle of Avdeyevka.

The think tank polled 17,023 people across 12 European nations. While only one in ten believes Ukraine will beat Russia, 20 percent believe Russia will win, and 37 percent predict a negotiated peace settlement is the most probable outcome.

The poll also found divisive opinions among European Union member states regarding financial support for Ukraine. Only 20 percent of the populace from countries including Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, and Sweden support increasing EU aid to Ukraine if the U.S. were to reduce its payments. A considerable majority in Romania, Italy, Greece, and Hungary support Ukraine negotiating a peace deal with Russia, as do 41 percent of Europeans overall.

This study reveals a significant sentiment of discord between citizens and their leaders in Europe. The ECFR warns that the EU’s stance towards Ukraine should be “rooted in reality” or risk validating the arguments of former President Donald Trump and other populist leaders who have previously criticized the European Union’s strategies.

The survey results strengthen the arguments of Republican lawmakers in the U.S., like Senator J.D. Vance, who have called on the country to stop funding the war and urge Ukraine to pursue peace. “We need to bring this war to a close,” Vance said in December 2023. “The thing that’s in our interest and in theirs is to stop the killing.”

White House Announces More Than 500 New Sanctions Against Russia.

The Biden Treasury Department plans to impose over 500 new sanctions on Russia on Friday, the largest single group of sanctions the U.S. has leveled against Russia since it invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The sanctions follow a series of recent arrests and indictments targeting Russian businessmen, including the head of Russia’s second-largest bank, announced by the Justice Department on Thursday.

The White House promised significant sanctions in response to the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in an Arctic penal colony. Biden, who met with Navalny’s wife and daughter on Thursday, said the sanctions would be “against Putin, who is responsible for his death.” The Russian government maintains that Navalny died of natural causes.
The new sanctions add to the thousands of others that have already been imposed on Russian officials, businessmen, banks, companies, and whole industries since the war began.

The sanctions are part of a larger effort on the part of the Biden administration to maintain its support for Ukraine in the face of Republican opposition to increased funding of the war. Republicans in Congress are largely opposed to sending any more financial aid to Ukraine, especially as the U.S. border crisis continues unabated and unaddressed.

Cell Phone Data Indicates Fani Willis And Nathan Wade Lied Over Relationship.

A recent court filing indicates cell phone data suggests Nathan Wade and District Attorney Fani Willis lied about how much time they spent together. The data appears to show Wade being present in the Hapeville neighborhood where Willis was living at the time at least 35 times. Wade claimed he had only visited ten times before being appointed special prosecutor.

In addition to calling into question Wade’s statements regarding the number of visits, the cell phone data also shows he stayed overnight at Willis’s condo at least twice. Wade and Willis testified that they had not spent the night together at the residence.

They also claim their relationship didn’t become ‘romantic’ until 2022, after Wade’s appointment, though the cell data suggests otherwise. In addition to the condo visits, the cell phone data also shows Wade and Willis exchanged over 2,000 phone calls in 2021 and sent each other at least 12,000 text messages.

Scott McAfee, the Fulton County Superior Court judge presiding over Willis’s prosecution of former President Trump for interfering in the 2020 election, has requested the District Attorney’s office account for the discrepancies raised by the data. “We are required to respond to the filing via the court, and we are preparing a response now,” a spokesman for Willis said on Friday.

Trump’s legal team alluded to the possibility of obtaining the data during last week’s hearing. The former President’s defense lawyer, Steve Sadow, pressed Wade on the stand, asking: “So, if phone records were to reflect that you were making phone calls from the same location as the condo before Nov. 1 of 2021, and it was on multiple occasions, the phone records would be wrong?”

Wade responded: “They’d be wrong.”

Judge McAfee ultimately will decide whether the cell phone data is admissible.

Vice Media to Cease Publishing On Vice.com, Lay Off Hundreds of Employees.

Vice Media CEO Bruce Dixon has announced a significant reorganization at the once formidable media company. In an email to staff, Dixon unveiled plans to cease publishing content on its website and initiate widespread layoffs, affecting hundreds of employees. “It is no longer cost-effective for us to distribute our digital content the way we have done previously,” said Dixon. He explained that Vice would shift to a studio model, partnering with other media firms for content distribution.

Despite tips and rising speculations about the company’s downfall, the news came as a shocking revelation to its staff. Earlier, employees were cautioned to back up their stories as the website was allegedly being shut down, leading to a heightened sense of panic among the workforce. Dixon refused to comment about the site’s future, fueling further anxiety among employees.

Founded in 1994 in Montreal, Canada, Vice evolved from a punk magazine into a sprawling multinational media corporation. From a peak valuation of $5.7 billion in 2017, plummeting revenues and a shifting media landscape caused a significant devaluation, leading to its filing for bankruptcy last year. The latest reorganization is indicative of the turbulent times faced by the media industry at large.
