CCP Sentences Crime Bosses to Death Before They Can Name Names

Good news, everyone! The Chinese Communist Party is cracking down on crime. Of course there’s no crime in China, since China is very, very safe thanks to the CCP. But there’s crime in other countries, you see.

On Tuesday, a court in southeastern China sentenced three members of the “Wei family criminal gang” to death and sent dozens more to prison. The Wei clan is one of the so-called “four families” that ran criminal syndicates in Kokang, a region of northern Myanmar right on the Chinese border. State broadcaster CCTV called them the “most violent criminal force in northern Myanmar.”

According to the court, the gang ran drug trafficking, prostitution, illegal casinos, and telecom fraud. They also murdered at least two Chinese citizens. CCTV says they operated 14 large-scale scam compounds and lured Chinese job seekers across the border with fake promises of high wages. Once there, many people ended up trapped in prison-like compounds, forced to scam for their captors. The gang reportedly pulled in more than $1.8 billion.

But these gangs operated in the open, for years, under the protection of Myanmar’s military junta. Experts say the junta looked the other way because scam profits flowed to its militia allies, the same militias it needs to fight rebels. Back in January, the CCP executed 11 members of the rival Ming family. The Mings weren’t just gangsters. They belonged to a militia aligned with the junta.

And who’s the junta’s biggest backer? The CCP.

REVEALED: Here is the Discovery that Triggered the Federal Agents’ Raid on Ilhan Omar’s DC Home

The heat on far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and her family continues to build as more damning information leaks out, including what triggered the raid on her home to begin with.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, federal agents raided the Washington, DC-area residence of Omar early Monday morning as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into her immigration paperwork.

Fox News Digital reported exclusively that the pre-dawn raid was part of an ongoing criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman’s immigration paperwork, documents filled out by her late father when she was a child.

According to her website, Ilhan Omar arrived in the United States in March 1995, when she was 12 years old. She came with her family as a Somali refugee after spending approximately four years in a refugee camp in Kenya. She became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2000, at age 17.

Multiple agents wearing HSI jackets were observed outside the residence around 6 a.m.

Now, we know exactly the discovery that led to the raid. The New York Times exclusively reported on Saturday that federal officials seized the phone of Omar’s Sister, Sahra Noor, earlier this year.

When they did so, they noticed that the phone contained damning family text messages. Investigators then later used these messages to get a federal judge to authorize the raid on Omar’s home.

Trump calls for death penalty for anyone convicted of killing a firefighter

Addressing a gathering of law enforcement officers and firefighters at a White House Rose Garden luncheon, President Donald Trump announced that he has directed the Department of Justice (DOJ) to seek the death penalty in cases involving the murder of a firefighter.

This directive expands upon his previous calls to mandate capital punishment for individuals convicted of killing police officers.

While the president signaled a firm federal stance on violence against first responders, the implementation of such a policy across all jurisdictions remains limited, as federal capital charges generally apply only to specific federal offenses or crimes committed within federal jurisdiction, while state-level homicide prosecutions remain governed by individual state laws.

“They’re shot at [while] going up ladders,” Trump said. “They get shot up in some neighborhoods….”

It Happened YET AGAIN

A two-year-old girl is fighting for her life after being stabbed multiple times in the face by a complete stranger while sitting in a stroller at a Providence school bus stop. The attacker had previously been accused of stabbing two other children, but was repeatedly found incompetent to stand trial before simply being released back into the community.

Police say the attack was unprovoked. The man did not know the mother or child. Months earlier, a doctor had assessed that he was “not likely to imperil the peace and safety of the community or himself at this time.” A judge accepted the recommendation and allowed him to remain free on outpatient treatment.

What kind of justice system lets a mental guy who previously stabbed two kids walk around freely?

The latest incident occurred in broad daylight Wednesday near Broad Street and Public Street in Providence, Rhode Island. The mother, 26, was waiting with her two-year-old daughter for the child’s siblings to arrive on a school bus. Nelson Blanco, 46, approached them. The mother moved across the street, but Blanco followed, insulted her, and then attacked, according to Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez.

Perez said Blanco stabbed the girl in the face multiple times and stabbed the mother in the shoulder. The attack was “unprovoked,” and the victims did not know the suspect.

Bystanders intervened. Witness Jesse Alice Palmer, a nursing assistant, said the toddler stopped breathing and that she and another woman performed CPR until emergency responders arrived. The girl remains in critical condition at Hasbro Children’s Hospital. The mother was treated and released.

‘Serial Killer’ Concerns Grip Michigan’s Capital as Similarities Are Noted in 5 Recent Deaths

Law enforcement in Lansing, Michigan, is concerned there may be a serial killer on the loose after five killings were committed in under one year on the same trail.

Earlier this month, police said they were investigating the possibility that a lone killer was targeting the Lansing River Trail, Fox News reported.

Karen Holt, a criminology professor at nearby Michigan State University, told the outlet, “I definitely think we need to be cautious, but we also need to be rational.”

“As someone who studies violence, the first thing that came to mind was the victims and the vulnerability of these victims and the method of the violence,” she added.

“One of the patterns with either single or serial homicide offenders or just violent offenders is that they tend to go after individuals who are particularly vulnerable,” Holt explained.

Authorities said all the victims were homeless men.

Holt said killers sometimes target homeless victims because they “lack credibility,” which possibly “decreases the likelihood that they’re going to be caught.”

The timeline of the killings spans from October 2025 to August 2026. The victims’ ages ranged from 22 to 70, with the cause of death in many cases being either blunt force trauma or stabbing.

Last month, Edward Joseph Smith, 23, was arrested in connection with the stabbing of Daniel Lusk, 22. No motive was released to the public, however, and it is still unclear if he is responsible for any of the other killings.

Holt told Fox News that Lusk’s murder “stands out” because he was the only who was stabbed.

Smith has been charged with murder in that case, but the other cases remain open, according to The New York Times.

Lusk’s father, Dean, said his son was struggling with addiction and had done stints in rehab, as well as prison, but that he visited his son frequently to bring food and clothing. 

“There were incidents that happened down there before my son got murdered,” Mr. Lusk said. “The cops were well aware of it, and they refused to do anything about it.”

Police Chief Robert Backus broached the subject of a possible serial killer during a news conference, saying, “We are looking at the idea — or the possibility — that these may be related cases… But we cannot move forward in an investigation thinking that these are all the same person. We have to look at these on a case-by-case scenario.”

Derick Byrd, 56, reportedly knew some of the victims and had previously stayed along the river trail.

“It’s scary knowing that even if you’re homeless, you can’t even lay out here and go to sleep without somebody beating you,” he said.

Backus announced that temporary cameras were placed along the trail, and the city is weighing whether to install better lighting.

He added that the trail is safe, except during the overnight hours.

The killings began with Gino Chouinard, 54, who was discovered dead on the trail, but his cause of death has yet to be determined.

The next victim, Dennis Dunnebacke, 70, was found under a bridge in July, and his cause of death is also undetermined.

The third victim, Robert Smith, 57, died of head trauma one day after Dunnebacke, and his case was declared a blunt force homicide.

The other two deaths occurred 10 days apart back in August, with both victims being found under bridges like Dunnebacke.

One of the victims was Lusk, and the other was Louis Woodruff, 57, who had severe facial trauma. He passed away on Sept. 1, and his death was ruled a blunt force homicide.

Chief Backus blamed the case delays on a lack of witnesses, limited surveillance footage, and inconclusive or pending reports from the medical examiner.

Migrants Account for 87% of Criminal Suspects in Germany

Germany’s latest arrest-warrant figures raise a basic question about the competence of the people running the country. As of July, 148,311 people are wanted on outstanding warrants as, with only 11.2% holding exclusively German citizenship and another 1.5% holding German citizenship alongside another nationality. Foreign nationals reportedly account for 87.3%. Berlin should explain how this backlog developed, which cases involve dangerous offenders, and what it is doing to find them. Issuing a warrant is only the beginning. If the state cannot enforce it, the paperwork offers very little protection to the public.

Among temporary migrants, nationals of Algeria, Morocco, Georgia, Tunisia, Nigeria, and Albania together represented roughly 2.1% of the population but 15.5% of suspects. Ukrainians represented almost 36% of that population and around 13% of suspects. These figures concern suspects rather than convictions, but the differences are substantial. A competent administration would examine what lies behind them, where repeat offending is concentrated, and which measures actually improve integration and public safety.

Germany identified 197,347 violent criminal suspects in 2024: 112,335 German citizens and 85,012 foreign nationals, putting the foreign share at 43.1%. In 2025, that share remained almost unchanged at 42.9%. Violence against women has been a massive, underplayed problem across Europe. Authorities recorded 6,892 German rape suspects and 4,437 non-German rape suspects, a foreign share of 39.2%. The group rape figures are especially disturbing. Government records show 751 cases in 2025, approximately two a day, with foreign nationals accounting for 53% of identified suspects.

Merkel’s promise that Germany could manage the influx never relieved the government of its obligation to plan for it. Someone had to provide the housing, classroom places, language instruction, and administrative capacity. Someone also had to deal with those who broke the law. Politicians could celebrate their intentions while municipalities worked out how to pay for the consequences. That gap between the announcement and the practical work is where confidence begins to erode. People become angry when they are expected to finance a policy and then treated as unreasonable for asking whether it is working.

Civil unrest is inevitable. The arrogance of these politicians is infuriating. They make the decisions, leave the public to absorb the consequences, and then expect credit for their intentions. A woman whose life has been shattered by an assault does not owe anyone silence to protect the reputation of a migration policy. Neither does the taxpayer financing police, courts, and prisons. The government’s obligation is to protect people, prosecute offenders, and correct policies that are failing. If officials cannot manage that, they should get out of office. There is nothing compassionate about leaving victims to carry the damage while the people responsible for governing congratulate themselves on their moral superiority.

House GOP crafts nuclear option for sanctuary cities, letting victims sue local officials

ouse Republicans are pushing ahead with sweeping legislation to obliterate sanctuary cities, setting up a post-election vote that would empower victims of illegal immigrants’ crimes to sue the local officials who released them from custody.

The Shut Down Sanctuary Policies Act passed through the House Judiciary Committee with little fanfare last month, creating a path for GOP lawmakers to impose the toughest crackdown yet on states and cities that refuse to turn over illegal immigrants under federal detainers or outright release migrants in their custody.

The bill’s most poignant weapon creates a right of private action for victims and families of victims to sue the municipalities and officials who released violent offenders, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Just the News.

“We got a good deal that we worked long and hard on”: Jordan

The provision would strip some of the civil immunity that state and local officials enjoy. Currently, in some jurisdictions, those officials enjoy “absolute immunity,” which is the broadest form of the doctrine. 

“It allows people who’ve been harmed, where local political leaders tell the local law enforcement they can’t work with federal law enforcement, detainers aren’t honored … to go take that city, take that state to court, and say, ‘look, this was ridiculous. What happened and was so wrong, so tragic,'” Jordan explained.

“So we got a good deal that we worked long and hard on. We just got to try to get it passed in the lame duck [period],” he added.

In addition to the lawsuit provision, the bill also:

  • Reasserts federal supremacy over state and local laws that restrict cooperation with immigration enforcement with the Department of Homeland Security.
  • Requires state and local authorities to honor DHS detainers for illegal immigrants arrested for criminal or motor vehicle offenses who are subject to deportation.
  • Withholds some federal funding from sanctuary states and municipalities who don’t comply and reallocate the monies to compliant  jurisdictions.
Illegal immigrant involvement in felonies said to be still growing

The push by Jordan and his allies comes as it’s claimed that the number of cases of released aliens causing harm or death continues to grow. The data is conflicting, but individual cases putting a human face on the issue raises public interest.

Just last month, Homeland Security decried a case where an illegal immigrant from India who was released during the Biden years stalked and killed a woman in California.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed last month that Rohit Rohit, the man accused of stalking 38-year-old Shalini Thakur for months before executing her in a Panera Bread parking lot in Sacramento, was in the country illegally. 

“Sanctuary politicians must put an end to reckless policies that play Russian roulette with American lives,” the DHS said.

DOJ Issues Grand Jury Subpoenas in Federal Criminal Investigation Into Ilhan Omar

Grand Jury subpoenas have been issued in the federal criminal investigation into Ilhan Omar, according to The New York Times.

As previously reported, federal agents raided the DC-area residence of far-left Democrat Muslima Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) early Monday morning as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into her immigration paperwork.

Federal HSI agents arrived at Ilhan Omar’s home at 6 am and removed boxes of evidence.

The Justice Department secured a search warrant for Ilhan Omar’s home amid a years-long investigation into her immigration fraud.

Federal investigators have been probing the immigration paperwork filed by Ilhan Omar’s father.

However, the scope of the federal criminal investigation is much wider than previously reported.

On Monday, the Associated Press and NBC News reported that according to sources, federal investigators were also probing Ilhan Omar’s financial records.

FBI Arrests OpenAI Engineer Over a Hidden Listening Device

OpenAI builds technology that answers complicated questions. Yet federal investigators say one of its engineers tried to get answers by secretly listening to executives. The alleged equipment was a recording device plugged into a television inside a restricted conference room in San Francisco.

For a company developing some of America’s most valuable technology, that’s a chilling failure.

From the DOJ:

“According to the complaint unsealed today, Abdulrahman Alfozan allegedly concealed a covert recording device inside his employer’s executive conference room to secretly capture sensitive communications about the company’s super intelligence technology,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “Protecting American SI innovation is essential to safeguarding our nation’s economic strength and national security, and the FBI views that mission as one of our highest counterintelligence priorities. Thank you to Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton and our law enforcement partners for their support — and we will continue working closely with our partners across the U.S. government and private sector to keep American businesses and citizens safe and to ensure our country maintains its competitive edge.”

The FBI arrested Abdulrahman Alfozan, a 35-year-old Saudi national, on October 9. Prosecutors unsealed a criminal complaint Tuesday charging him with using or attempting to use a device to intercept oral communications. He had worked at OpenAI since July 2025. The company has since fired him, and federal investigators are examining his alleged activities.

OpenAI personnel discovered the device on September 30, connected to a USB port behind a television. Someone had concealed it in toilet paper, and its stored contents were encrypted. Investigators believe someone installed it around September 28. The room regularly hosted discussions of proprietary research, future products, business arrangements, government contacts, and technical progress OpenAI hadn’t disclosed publicly.

Florida Woman Arrested After AI Tattlebot Reported Her, and It Isn’t Funny

My wife has an army of bots at her command, and on Sunday, I caught her issuing them their marching orders. Don’t worry — Melissa has no plans to conquer the world, or at least not yet.

Or not that I know of, anyway.

We’ll get to that in a moment, but what got me thinking (again) about AI in recent days is the story of the Florida woman* whose digital “diary” entry landed her in jail recently.

Carli Michelle Heller — innocent until proven guilty, I think still applies here — used Anthropic’s Claude AI as a personal diary, apparently thinking that somebody else’s servers were as private as a locked journal. Gadget Review reported that “her words included a stated intention to ‘shoot up’ the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.”

That was enough to trigger Claude’s safety systems, which flagged the chat. “A human reviewer assessed the threat as credible,” GR continued, “and law enforcement showed up at her door.”

All without a warrant.

*Of course it was Florida Woman.

Needless to say, I have some seriously mixed feelings about all that, even after reading that Heller’s  “subsequent message allegedly referenced obtaining a new gun.”

But as Florida Woman learned, AI chats aren’t end-to-end encrypted in the same way your more reputable messaging apps are. I mean, you aren’t using somebody else’s data center to move a secure message from your phone to your recipient’s — you’re using somebody else’s server to directly answer your questions about life, the universe, and converting an AR-15 to fully automatic. 

Sure, AIs have guardrails built in to prevent users from, say, getting detailed instructions on how to weaponize a common flu virus, but those guardrails do (and should) include notifying the proper authorities when somebody queries, “How do I build a portable nuclear device in my garage?”
