Texas Arrests Eight Illegal Abortionists, Half Are Foreign Nationals.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: Eight people, including four foreign nationals, were arrested for allegedly collaborating with a Houston-area abortion provider accused of illegal procedures and practicing medicine without a license.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), Maria Rojas, and the eight arrested suspects.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The arrests were announced on October 8, 2025, following law enforcement operations across the Houston area.

💬KEY QUOTE: “In Texas, life is sacred. I will always do everything in my power to protect the unborn, defend our state’s pro-life laws, and work to ensure that unlicensed individuals endangering the lives of women by performing illegal abortions are fully prosecuted.” — Ken Paxton.

🎯IMPACT: The arrests highlight Texas’s commitment to enforcing its strict abortion laws and ensuring medical practices operate within legal boundaries.

IN FULL

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) announced on Wednesday, October 8, the arrests of eight people accused of operating illegal abortion clinics in the Houston area. The arrests are connected to Maria Margarita Rojas, a 49-year-old midwife previously indicted on 15 felony counts, including the unlawful killing of unborn babies and practicing medicine without a license. Rojas allegedly operated unlicensed clinics in northwest Houston, where prosecutors say she and others performed illegal medical procedures, including abortions.

The suspects arrested this week were allegedly working under Rojas, providing unauthorized medical services without proper licensing. Those named by Paxton’s office include Yaimara Hernandez Alvarez, Alina Valeron Leon, Dalia Coromoto Yanez, Yhonder Lebrun Acosta, Liunet Grandales Estrada, Gerardo Otero Aguero, Sabiel Bosch Gongora, and Jose Manuel Cendan Ley. According to a statement from Paxton, these individuals “endangered the very people they pretended to help” by operating outside the law.

“In Texas, life is sacred. I will always do everything in my power to protect the unborn, defend our state’s pro-life laws, and work to ensure that unlicensed individuals endangering the lives of women by performing illegal abortions are fully prosecuted,” Attorney General Paxton said.

These arrests follow the recent closure of a major Planned Parenthood facility in Houston, once one of the largest abortionist clinics in the country. Texas enforces some of the strongest pro-life laws in the United States, banning nearly all abortions except in limited medical emergencies.

Rojas is the first person charged under a new Texas law that heightens penalties for those involved in unlawful abortions.

Abbott Refuses to Block Deployment of Texas National Guard to Illinois.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) authorized President Donald J. Trump to call up 400 members of the Texas National Guard to protect federal officers in other states, rejecting an appeal from Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker (D) to oppose the deployment.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Governor Abbott, President Trump, Governor Pritzker, and War Secretary Pete Hegseth.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Announced on Sunday, with deployments planned for Illinois, Oregon, and other locations.

💬KEY QUOTE: “You can either fully enforce protection for federal employees or get out of the way and let Texas Guard do it.” – Greg Abbott

🎯IMPACT: The decision underscores the growing tensions between Republican and Democratic states as the Trump administration enforces federal immigration law, often against the wishes of pro-illegal immigrant state politicians and activists.

IN FULL

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) has approved President Donald J. Trump’s request to deploy 400 Texas National Guard members for federal duty to safeguard federal officers in cities like Chicago, Illinois, and Portland, Oregon, where state and local leadership is Democratic and largely opposed to enforcing federal immigration law. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker had urged Abbott to oppose the deployment.

War Secretary Pete Hegseth has confirmed the guardsmen will serve for up to 60 days in states including Illinois and Oregon. Abbott said of the initiative, “I fully authorized the President to call up 400 members of the Texas National Guard to ensure safety for federal officials.” He also criticized Pritzker’s resistance, saying, “You can either fully enforce protection for federal employees or get out of the way and let Texas Guard do it.”

Pritzker denounced the move as “Trump’s Invasion,” complaining that no federal officials consulted him beforehand. He argued, “There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.”

Oregon, governed by Christine ‘Tina’ Kotek (D), has also resisted National Guard deployments. A federal judge has already issued a temporary restraining order blocking the deployment of 200 Oregon National Guard troops to Portland, citing concerns about using military force without evidence of a significant threat or insurrection despite the regular attacks on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in the city. Efforts to deploy National Guard units from California have also been blocked. The Trump administration intends to appeal these decisions.

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said of the pending Guard deployments, “Amidst ongoing violent riots and lawlessness, that local leaders like Pritzker have refused to step in to quell, President Trump has authorized 300 national guardsmen to protect federal officers and assets. President Trump will not turn a blind eye to the lawlessness plaguing American cities.”

FBI: Dallas Sniper Researched Charlie Kirk Assassination, Wanted to Strike ‘Real Terror’ Into ICE Agents.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: A sniper who opened fire on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday researched the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk and apps that track ICE agents, and left notes outlining his desire to strike “real terror” into immigration enforcement personnel.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The sniper, who fatally shot himself, has been identified as Joshua Jahns; Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel updated the public on the case on Thursday.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The shooting occurred on September 24 at an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas; Patel updated the public on X (formerly Twitter) the following morning.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Hopefully this will give ICE agents real terror, to think, ‘is there a sniper with AP rounds on that roof?'” – Handwritten note by the perpetrator.

🎯IMPACT: The details revealed by Patel indicate a high degree of pre-attack planning and raise concerns about the ongoing safety of ICE agents.

IN FULL

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel has updated the public on Joshua Jahns, the sniper who opened fire on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Patel detailed how Jahns, who fatally shot himself after the attack, “downloaded a document titled ‘Dallas County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management’ containing a list of DHS facilities,” and “searched apps that tracked the presence of ICE agents.”

The sniper, who scrawled “Anti-ICE” on his ammunition but only managed to hit migrants detained by ICE rather than ICE personnel, likely in error, also made “multiple searches” for videos of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk being shot and killed at Utah Valley University, allegedly by radical leftist Tyler Robinosn.

Patel also revealed that a “handwritten note found at the scene read, ‘Hopefully this will give ICE agents real terror, to think, ‘is there a sniper with AP rounds on that roof?'” He added: “This evidence suggests a significant level of pre-attack planning.”

ICE Director Reports 1,000% Increase in Assaults on Agents Following Sniper Attack.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Todd Lyons reported a more than 1,000 percent increase in assaults on ICE officers following a deadly shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons, CNN’s John Berman, and authorities investigating the Dallas shooting.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The shooting occurred on the morning of September 24 at an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I’ve never seen threats on law enforcement, specifically ICE, increased the way it is. You know, we’re up over 1,000 percent assaults on officers right now.” – Todd Lyons

🎯IMPACT: The sniper attack highlights the growing threats against ICE officers, fueled by Democrat rhetoric.

IN FULL

On September 23, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Todd Lyons discussed the deadly shooting at a Dallas ICE facility that left two dead earlier in the day, saying it comes amid a huge spike in anti-ICE attacks.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in my law enforcement career. I’ve never seen threats on law enforcement, specifically ICE, increased the way it is. You know, we’re up over 1,000 percent assaults on officers right now,” Lyons told CNN. He attributed the violence to escalating anti-law enforcement rhetoric, noting, “It just keeps getting worse and worse, and it has to stop.”

In August, the same facility faced a bomb threat, leading to an arrest. On July 4, an ambush at the Prairieland ICE facility near Dallas saw attackers in tactical gear use fireworks to lure officers into the open before opening fire on them in a premeditated assault. The ambush saw ten people charged with attempted murder after firing 20–30 rounds at officers, wounding at least one.

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel has revealed that ammunition found near the shooter was scrawled with the words “Anti-ICE,” suggesting an ideological motive.

The Trump administration complains that Democrat officials, especially high-profile figures like California Governor Gavin Newsom and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, are normalizing violence towards immigration enforcement agents. Vice President J.D. Vance noted in a speech after the Dallas shooting that Newsom recently described ICE as “part of an authoritarian government,” adding: “You don’t have to agree with Donald Trump’s immigration policies. But if your political rhetoric encourages violence against our law enforcement, you can go straight to Hell, and you have no place in the political conversation.”

Walz, Kamala Harris’s failed 2024 running mate, has gone so far as to smear ICE as “Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo… scooping folks up off the streets,” in reference to Adolf Hitler’s Secret State Police, responsible for rounding up Jews, dissidents, and other perceived enemies of the state.

‘Anti-ICE’ Messages Found After Deadly Sniper Attack, Sources Name Suspect as Joshua Jahn.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: “Anti-ICE messages” were found on rounds near a suspected shooter in a sniper attack at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas, Texas.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the suspected shooter, and four people who were shot, including the sniper, named by sources as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn. Two of his victims are confirmed to have died.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The attack targeted an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday morning.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Early evidence that we’ve seen from rounds that were found near the suspected shooter contained messages that are anti-ICE in nature.” – FBI field office head Joseph Rothrock

🎯IMPACT: The shooting highlights ongoing violence against ICE, encouraged by the inflammatory rhetoric of Democrat politicians.

IN FULL

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has confirmed the discovery of “anti-ICE” messages on rounds found “near the suspected shooter” in a deadly sniper attack at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday morning. Four people were shot during the attack, including the sniper, who suffered a “self-inflicted” gunshot. Sources have named him as Joshua Jahn, 29.

FBI Director Kash Patel shared a photograph of the rounds on social media, stating, “While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an [ideological] motive behind this attack.” He added: “One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase ‘ANTI ICE.’ … These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off.”

Speaking at a press conference in Dallas, FBI field office head Joseph Rothrock also confirmed that “Early evidence that we’ve seen from rounds that were found near the suspected shooter contained messages that are anti-ICE in nature,” stressing: “[T]his is just the most recent example of this type of attack.”

A radical leftist previously carried out a sniper attack on ICE officers in Alvarado, Texas, in July, with a responding local police officer being shot in the neck. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reports that attacks on ICE officers generally are up by over 1,000 percent.

Immediately following the Dallas shooting, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said, “While we don’t know motive yet, we know that our ICE law enforcement is facing unprecedented violence against them. It must stop.”

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) has said the Dallas shooting “will NOT slow our arrest, detention, & deportation of illegal immigrants.”

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: ICE officers, detainees, and the gunman, who reportedly shot himself.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Wednesday, at an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The shooter is ‘down’ due to a self-inflicted wound,” authorities confirmed.

🎯IMPACT: The incident has disrupted operations at the ICE facility and left multiple people injured.

IN FULL

At least three people have been injured during a shooting at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday. The shooting reportedly took place as ICE officers were in the process of transferring detainees into the facility. Authorities have stated that the shooter sustained a self-inflicted wound and is “down.”

The identity and condition of the shooting victims had not been definitively confirmed as of the time of publication, although at least one report suggests they were migrants, and one has died. “While we don’t know motive yet, we know that our ICE law enforcement is facing unprecedented violence against them. It must stop,” commented Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

In July, radical leftist Benjamin Song allegedly executed a sniper attack on ICE officers in Alvarado, Texas, which resulted in a responding local police officer being shot in the neck. The Trump administration has blamed inflammatory Democrat rhetoric for encouraging such attacks, with Minnesota governor and failed 2024 vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, for instance, smearing ICE as “Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo” in May.

Four Charged for Smuggling Drugged Children Over the Border While Posing as Their Parents.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: Four people were charged in connection with a child-smuggling operation involving unaccompanied minors, sedated with marijuana gummies, being brought from Juárez, Mexico, into the United States.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Mexican nationals Susana Guadian, Daniel Guadian, their daughter Dianne Guadian (a U.S. citizen), and Manuel Valenzuela, a legal U.S. resident living in El Paso.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The smuggling incidents reportedly occurred between May 1, 2024, and October 18, 2024, across the U.S.-Mexico border in El Paso, Texas.

💬KEY QUOTE: “These children are nothing more than currency to the criminals.” – Jason Stevens, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) El Paso Special Agent in Charge

🎯IMPACT: The case highlights the exploitation of children by smuggling networks; already the Trump administration tracked down 13,000 unaccompanied migrant minors released into the United States under the former Biden government, and arrested over 400 sponsors for crimes ranging from child abuse to sex trafficking.

IN FULL

Four people have been charged in a child-smuggling case that involved unaccompanied minors being brought illegally into the United States. The suspects, two Mexican nationals and two U.S. residents, allegedly posed as the children’s parents and sedated them with marijuana gummies to avoid detection at Border Patrol checkpoints.

The accused include Susana Guadian, Daniel Guadian, their U.S. citizen daughter Dianne Guadian, and legal U.S. resident Manuel Valenzuela. They face charges of conspiracy to transport aliens and bringing aliens to the U.S. for financial gain. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) is working to extradite the Mexican nationals to face charges in the U.S.

According to Jason Stevens, HSI El Paso Special Agent in Charge, the smugglers used falsified U.S. documents and had drivers pose as parents to smuggle children, aged five to 13, across the border. “They would normally bring them in overnight between 10 AM and 4 or 5 AM, when the children would be sleeping anyway,” Stevens explained, adding: “They use that to ensure that they stay sedated.”

The criminal complaint revealed text messages between suspects arranging smuggling operations, including one message stating, “Young lady, are you working today? I have a boy 7 and 8. They are small.” Another read, “Also Fanny, I have two little girls ages 4 and 5.” Proof-of-life pictures of the children were also found on the suspects’ phones.

Stevens emphasized the risks involved, noting, “These children are nothing more than currency to the criminals.”

The Trump administration has tracked down thousands of unaccompanied migrant minors released into the United States under the former Biden government, and arrested over 400 sponsors for crimes ranging from child abuse to sex trafficking.

Over 100 Texas Teachers Suspended for Celebrating, Justifying Charlie Kirk’s Assassination.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: The State of Texas is revoking over 100 teacher certifications due to inappropriate social media posts about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R), Texas Education Agency (TEA) Commissioner Mike Morath, Republican State Rep. Hillary Hickland, and Republican State Sen. Mayes Middleton.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The investigation began Friday in Texas following Kirk’s assassination on Wednesday at Utah Valley University.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Educators cheering murder must not only be fired, but also placed on do-not-hire registries and stripped of their certifications. There must be zero tolerance for this.” – Republican State Sen. Mayes Middleton

🎯IMPACT: Texas is taking strong measures to ensure educators who promote violent rhetoric are held accountable and prevented from teaching again.

IN FULL

The Texas state government announced that more than 100 school teachers are set to lose their certification over “reprehensible and inappropriate” celebrations of the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) announced the revocations on Tuesday, revealing that the Texas Education Agency (TEA) launched an investigation last Friday into teachers it alleges “have proliferated such vile content.”

Local Texas news outlets report that state officials have already received over 180 complaints regarding educators who have either celebrated or justified Kirk’s assassination. “While the exercise of free speech is a fundamental right we are all blessed to share, it does not give carte blanche authority to celebrate or sow violence against those that share differing beliefs and perspectives,” the Texas Education Agency (TEA) announcement states.

One incident involved a Pflugerville ISD employee who posted that she refused “to feel bad about the death of a Nazi,” a comment highlighted by State Representative Hillary Hickland (R). Meanwhile, Texas State Senator Mayes Middleton (R) has called for stricter actions, stating, “Educators cheering murder must not only be fired, but also placed on do-not-hire registries and stripped of their certifications. There must be zero tolerance for this.”

Sen. Middleton further emphasized, “Their behavior proves they are unworthy of ever being entrusted with educating students again. No half measures and no passing the trash—our children must be protected from these vile individuals. I will fight to ensure they are held fully accountable.”

On Tuesday afternoon, Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray formally charged Tyler Robinson with the murder of Charlie Kirk. The charges include aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and committing a violent offense in the presence of a child.

Gray also confirmed that Robinson was in a relationship with a male-to-female transgender named Lance Twiggs, and had been becoming increasingly left-leaning and focused on gay and trans rights, citing his relatives.

Illegal Immigrant Beheads Hotel Manager, Trump Responds.

PULSE POINTS

WHAT HAPPENED: A hotel manager in Dallas, Texas, Chandra Nagamallaiah, was brutally murdered by an illegal alien.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The victim, Chandra Nagamallaiah, the perpetrator—an illegal alien from Cuba, and President Donald J. Trump.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The murder took place in Dallas, Texas.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Rest assured, the time for being soft on these Illegal Immigrant Criminals is OVER under my watch!” – Donald Trump

🎯IMPACT: The killing has redoubled calls for stricter immigration enforcement.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump has condemned the brutal killing of an Indian hotel manager, Chandra Mouli Nagamallaiah, in Dallas, allegedly by a Cuban illegal immigrant. Nagamallaiah, 50, was reportedly attacked with a machete by his co-worker, Yordanis Cobos-Martinez, and decapitated following an argument over a broken washing machine.

On Truth Social, President Trump wrote, “This individual was previously arrested for terrible crimes, including child sex abuse, grand theft auto, and false imprisonment, but was released back into our Homeland under incompetent Joe Biden because Cuba did not want such an evil person in their Country.”

“Rest assured, the time for being soft on these Illegal Immigrant Criminals is OVER under my watch!” he added, stating that Cobos-Martinez will be charged with first-degree murder.

The murder occurred in front of the victim’s wife and child at the Downtown Suites Motel, where both men worked.

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the accused had a final order of removal and was previously held at a detention facility in Dallas before being released in January when Cuban authorities refused repatriation due to his criminal background.

The case has sparked renewed attention to the broader issue of criminal illegal aliens. In recent months, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has ramped up arrests of illegals with serious criminal records. The Trump administration has struck deals with third countries, such as Swaziland, to take migrants like Cobos-Martinez who cannot easily be deported to their home countries.
