Previously Deported Illegal Kept Young Boys Chained to Bed Near D.C.

Franklin Arquimedes Viera-Guevara, arrested alongside partner Wedni Del Cid Rodriguez for keeping two boys aged seven and nine chained near a sleeping cot in Virginia town near the Washington D.C. metro area, has been outed as an illegal alien deported under former President Donald J. Trump in 2018.

Viera-Guevara, 29, and Rodriguez, 47, told law enforcement they would only chain up the brothers occasionally to “scare them” into not leaving the apartment. However, a roommate said the boys were left shackled and unsupervised regularly, only being released when Viera-Guevara and Rodriguez were at home.

Police intervened after being contacted by the boys’ sister after one of them sent her a picture of his leg in chains. Officers heard a “chain rattling” when they approached the residence in Groveton, Fairfax County. They found the chain and identified marks on the boys’ ankles that appeared to match it.

Following his arrest, it has emerged that Viera-Guevara “unlawfully entered the United States near McAllen, Texas” in November 2018 and was “processed for expedited removal and removed from the United States to El Salvador [in] Feb. 1, 2019.”

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) says the Salvadoran “unlawfully re-entered the United States on an unknown date, at an unknown location” and now faces “two counts of child abuse/neglect: reckless disregard for life, two counts of child endangerment while in one’s custody, and two counts of child abduction: by force.”

ICE has lodged an immigration detainer against the illegal with the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center.

UFC’s Conor McGregor Wants to Run for Irish Presidency, Throw Out ‘Charlatans’ in Legislature.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) superstar Conor McGregor is again teasing a run at the Irish presidency, suggesting he would summon the “charlatans” in the Dáil (legislature) and make them “answer to the people of Ireland.” In recent years, the former two-weight world champion has heavily criticized the European Union (EU) member’s globalist government, particularly over the Irish migration crisis.

“As President, I hold the power to summon the Dáil as well as dissolve it,” he asserted on X, formerly Twitter.

“So as [I] said before, I would have all the answers the people of Ireland seek from these thieves of the working man, these [disruptors] of the family unit, these destructors of small businesses, and on and on and on!” he continued.

“These charlatans in their positions of power would be summoned to answer to the people of Ireland and I would have it done by day end. Or I would be left with no choice but to dissolve the Dáil entirely… The people of Ireland deserve the answers they seek.”

The mixed-marital artist insisted, “Ireland needs an active President employed wholly by the people of Ireland,” adding: “It is me. I am the only logical choice.”

However, the Irish presidency is relatively weak compared to, for instance, the American, French, or Russian presidencies, performing largely ceremonial functions. The President performs his constitutional functions mostly on the “advice” of the Prime Minister, or Taoiseach, with this advice being legally binding. The Taoiseach, drawn from among the legislature, also runs the government.

The political class also tightly controls who can run for the presidency, with candidates required to secure the backing of 20 legislators or four local governments to get on the ballot.

Illegals Responsible for 75 Percent of Midtown Manhattan Crime: Police.

Police sources estimate three out of every four individuals apprehended for assault, domestic violence, and robbery in Midtown Manhattan are illegal aliens. Law enforcement officers in Queens estimate that “over 60 percent” of those arrested for similar offenses in their area are illegals.

New York Police Department (NYPD) officers face challenges due to sanctuary laws, which hinder cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“I would say about 75 percent of the arrests in Midtown Manhattan are migrants, mostly for robberies, assaults, domestic incidents, and selling counterfeit items,” a Midtown police source told the New York Post. Another source estimated “more than 60 percent” of arrestees in Jackson Heights, Queens, are migrants, while a Queens Criminal Courthouse officer said, “Almost every case is a migrant.”

Officers described how “Roosevelt Avenue and 91st Street looks like a scene from ‘Casablanca’ with all the vendors… The area has become a Third World country, and it seems like City Hall doesn’t care about the taxpayers who live and work here.”

An NYPD spokesman told the Post that, officially, “Police officers are prohibited from asking about the immigration status of crime victims, witnesses, or suspects, and therefore, the NYPD doesn’t track data pertaining to immigration statuses.”

Since spring 2022, approximately 210,000 illegal immigrants have arrived in New York City, with the ongoing migrant crisis projected to cost the city $10 billion over the next three years.

Illegal Alien Arrested for Stabbing 14-Year-Old Girl at Brother’s Baseball Game.

An illegal immigrant who is believed to have ties to organized criminal gangs was arrested over the Labor Day weekend for stabbing a 14-year-old girl at a baseball game in northwest Indiana. Law enforcement hunted for the suspect for nearly a day following the Saturday stabbing. Eventually, 26-year-old Dimas Gabriel Yanez—a Honduran national—was arrested on Sunday after being cornered in a cornfield.

According to multiple accounts, the illegal Honduran immigrant stabbed the girl in the hand with a “butcher-style knife” and attempted to stab her mother.

Yanez had previously been deported to Honduras in 2018 under former President Donald J. Trump. Investigators state that the 26-year-old illegal became involved with organized criminal enterprises after illegally reentering the United States.

Because of the proximity of the stabbing to Chicago, some are pointing the finger at the city’s Democratic mayor, Brandon Johnson, and his sanctuary policies for sheltering Yanez. It remains unclear, however, if the Honduran traveled from Chicago to the baseball game.

“After an intense manhunt and an eventual foot pursuit, a person of interest in the weekend stabbing of a teenager in Lowell was taken into custody this afternoon,” Sheriff Oscar Martinez Jr. said in a statement. “Investigators have learned Yanez had been deported to Honduras in 2018 and may have been engaged in criminal activity across the United States since returning to the country illegally.”

“The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has been notified of his arrest,” Martinez added.

The sheriff notes that Yanez appeared to be cutting his hair to change his appearance when he was encountered and eventually apprehended by law enforcement.

WATCH: Migrants Seize U.S. Apartment Complex.

Venezuelan migrant gangs are reportedly taking over American apartment buildings by force, with new video footage showing armed men storming an apartment building in Colorado.

The shocking video allegedly shows a Venezuelan gang seizing control of an apartment complex in Aurora, a suburb of Denver, Colorado. The video, which surfaced on social media on Wednesday, August 28, shows individuals moving through the floors of the complex, wielding firearms.

One man, wearing a hoodie and carrying a rifle, is seen pounding on a door, joined by others with handguns.

Local police have not officially confirmed the involvement of the Tren de Aragua gang, which started in Venezuela’s prison system. However, Aurora City Council member Danielle Jurinsky cited the gang’s involvement during a recent interview.

“We currently have entire [apartment] complexes under gang control—complexes where staff have been beaten up, they’ve been threatened, their families have been threatened [and] complexes where there are no staff left on the property,” Jerinski said.

The Tren de Aragua has reportedly established numerous footholds nationwide since Joe Biden and Kamala Harris entered office, presiding over record-breaking illegal immigration.

This Sanctuary State Just Blew a BILLION Dollars on ‘Secret’ Migrant Spending.

Republicans have formally requested information from the Massachusetts state government regarding $1 billion in expenditures on the migrant crisis. The Massachusetts Republican Party has called upon Governor Maura Healey’s administration to provide a comprehensive cost breakdown detailing the financial impact on state residents.

“The Healey-Driscoll Administration has shrouded nearly $1 billion spent in secrecy, leaving Massachusetts residents in the dark,” complains state party chairwoman Amy Carnevale. “They have withheld critical information on 600 incidents involving police, fire, and EMT. Blocking journalists at every turn, the administration has obstructed the flow of information to the public.”

Carnevale has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking detailed information on the allocation of funds for migrants. The request demands the names of government and private entities involved in providing housing, the specific locations of migrant housing, correspondences related to public safety issues, and relevant police or incident reports.

The request follows a report by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) highlighting the strain on state resources due to the increasing number of migrants. CIS projects costs potentially reaching $1.8 billion over the next two years, with the state already spending over $1 billion on its Emergency Assistance shelter program.

BURDENS. 

In addition to the immediate costs of housing migrants, the CIS report identifies other financial burdens in terms of providing education, social services, healthcare, and public safety. The report estimates that around 355,000 migrants currently reside in Massachusetts.

Whistleblowers have previously revealed how migrants put up in Massachusetts hotels and motels receive “free diapers, wipes, toiletries, free tablets and phones, free English lessons, state caseworkers making sure all entitlements are taken, free Uber and Lyft rides, [and] free bus passes,” among other benefits.

“They all have MassHealth, free legal services, free tax-filing services,” the whistleblower said, adding that the hotel where they operated saw “daily” police and fire department callouts to deal “with fights, guns, drugs, [and] overdoses.”

Migrant Gangs Target Suburbs via Sanctuary Cities.

Officials in Aurora, Colorado, are grappling with a surge in crime linked to Tren de Aragua, a violent Venezuelan prison gang. This follows an influx of migrants into nearby Denver, whose sanctuary policies are having a spillover effect on neighboring suburbs like Aurora.

“We currently have entire [apartment] complexes under gang control—complexes where staff have been beaten up, they’ve been threatened, their families have been threatened [and] complexes where there are no staff left on the property,” warns Aurora City Council Member Danielle Jurinsky.

“These complexes are being run by this Tren de Aragua gang,” she says, describing how the migrant gangsters “start brokering apartments themselves when someone leaves out of fear or whatever,” with Venezuelan families moving in to replace them “within hours.”

“Parts of the city are absolutely under this gang’s control,” she said.

The rise in migrant gang crime is overwhelming Aurora’s police department. Tren de Aragua, in particular, has links to high-profile crimes across America, including the murder of nursing student Laken Riley in Georgia and the shooting of two New York Police Department (NYPD) officers.

Tren de Aragua has established itself in the U.S. under the Biden-Harris government’s lax border regime, which has resulted in record-breaking illegal immigration. Kamala Harris, in particular, was tasked with tackling the “root causes” of illegal immigration by Joe Biden in 2021 as part of a “border czar” role she now denies.

Despite previously vowing to block funding for Donald Trump’s border wall and comparing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the Ku Klux Klan as a Senator, Harris now claims she will finish the wall.

Texas Drops 1 Million Ineligible Voters from Election Rolls.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced the removal of more than one million voters from the state’s voter rolls, including illegal aliens, in a move aimed at protecting election integrity.
Back up: In 2021, Abbott signed bill SB 1, which tightened voting regulations and expanded poll watcher rights.

The details: In a statement released Monday, Abbott said, “Election integrity is essential to our democracy” and listed the number of ineligible voters removed since SB 1 was signed in 2021:

  • Illegal aliens: 6,500+
  • Voters with felony convictions: 6,000+
  • Dead people: 457,000+
  • Voters on the suspense list: 463,000+
  • Voters who moved out of state: 134,000+
  • Voters who failed to respond to notice of examination: 65,000+
  • Voters who requested to cancel their registration: 19,000+

The grand total is over 1.1 million ineligible voters.

Zoom out: The governor’s office says over 2,000 of the illegal aliens found on the voter roles have already cast ballots in past elections.

Back up further: In 2017, Abbott signed bill SB 5 to increase penalties for election workers who allow illegals to vote.

What happens next? Abbott reiterated that Texas Secretary of State Ken Paxton and local authorities will continue to monitor voter rolls and prosecute all who violate them.

Zoom out: Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin recently removed 6,300 non-citizens from his state’s voter rolls.

Big picture: This is not an isolated issue. If there were thousands of illegals on the voter rolls in Texas and Virginia, you can be sure there are more in critical Democrat-controlled swing states like Arizona and Pennsylvania.

Judge Halts Harris-Biden Scheme to Hand Citizenship to 500K Illegals.

A federal judge in Texas has put the brakes on the Biden–Harris regime’s efforts to grant citizenship to up to 500,000 illegal immigrants married to U.S. citizens. Sixteen Republican-led states challenged the so-called Keeping Families Together scheme, and Judge J. Campbell Barker has now issued a temporary halt to its implementation.

The lawsuit challenges the Biden-Harris government’s authority to bypass Congress on immigration matters. Judge Barker, appointed by former President Donald J. Trump, found these concerns valid, ruling that the executive branch cannot unilaterally rewrite immigration laws. While the Keeping Families Together program remains open for applications, processing is on hold until the court fully reviews the case.

This decision is a significant blow to the Biden-Harris government’s ongoing efforts to weaken immigration controls, which most Americans believe are designed to create a “permanent majority” for the Democrats over time.

Keeping Families Together seeks to allow illegal aliens married to U.S. citizens to remain in the country during their legalization process, avoiding lengthy separations. Critics argue the scheme undermines the rule of law by rewarding illegal immigration—and incentivizes sham marriages.

Now Kamala Claims She’ll BUILD THE WALL (Just as J.D. Vance Predicted).

Kamala Harris, who has presided over record-breaking illegal immigration since Joe Biden tasked her with tackling its “root causes” in 2021, now claims she will finish former President Donald J. Trump‘s border wall years after the Biden-Harris government halted its construction. Trump’s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), predicted she would “soon propose that we finish the border wall and Make America Great Again” on August 16, as she was stealing the America First leader’s “no tax on tips” policy.

Border security is a weak point for the Democrats in general and Harris, as “border czar,” in particular, but voters may doubt her sincerity when she claims she will finish the wall. Launching her failed 2019-20 run at the presidency, she denounced Trump’s wall as a “medieval vanity project.” In 2020, she insisted that “Trump’s border wall is a complete waste of taxpayer money and won’t make us any safer.” Shortly after becoming a Senator in 2017, she branded it a “stupid use of money” and vowed to “block any funding for it.”

During her ultra-liberal tenure as a California Senator, her anti-border rhetoric was not limited to the wall. She once compared the work of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the activities of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), and she continues to push for a “pathway to citizenship” for illegal aliens.

Senator Elizabeth Warren boasted in July that a Harris presidency would grant citizenship to millions of illegals.

Vance says the Democrat nominee’s embrace of the wall ahead of the November election is further proof she is “a fake,” observing, “If she wants to build the border wall, she could start right now!”
