Sanctuary State Illinois: Illegal Alien Accused of Killing GOP Elected Official and His Wife in Fatal Crash

In the sanctuary state of Illinois, where Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) has attempted to impede federal immigration enforcement, an illegal alien is accused of killing a Republican elected official and his wife in Coles County.

Police say that 34-year-old illegal alien Edwin Pacheco-Meza of Honduras was driving a van on Oct. 24 when he crossed the center lane and struck 71-year-old Michael Clayton and his wife, 66-year-old Gail Clayton — killing them instantly.

Michael Clayton was a Republican elected official who served on the Coles County Board.

“Mike and Gail were a team in every sense. Together, they lived their lives with strong values, unwavering love for family, and a deep dedication to their hometown,” the couple’s obituary reads:

They believed in supporting the Charleston community and keeping their business local whenever possible. Whether it was groceries, gifts, or meals, they always chose local shops and markets, proudly supporting small businesses and encouraging others to do the same. They were familiar faces at the Charleston Farmer’s Market, always taking time to visit with neighbors and friends.
[Emphasis added]

Pacheco-Meza, who crossed the southern border as an unknown got-away, was in his vehicle with 18-year-old illegal alien Juan Morales-Martinez of Guatemala, who crossed the border in December 2023 and was released into the United States interior by the Biden administration.

The illegal aliens were found with an extended magazine, firearm ammunition, drugs, and an open container of alcohol in their vehicle, police say.

Pacheco-Meza was charged with reckless homicide and drunk driving, while Morales-Martinez was charged with drug possession and weapons violations.

After they were arrested, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged detainers against the illegal aliens, seeking custody of them, but the detainers were ignored by the Clark County Jail thanks to Pritzker’s sanctuary state policy.

Still, ICE agents waited for Morales-Martinez to be released from jail and arrested him outside of the jail. Pacheco-Meza remains in Clark County Jail.

London Police Suggest Sharing Afghan Migrant MURDER Video Is “MISINFORMATION”

Following the brutal and senseless murder of a man out walking his dog in West London by an Afghan illegal migrant, London police are urging the public not to share footage of the incident. 

As we highlighted, this latest horrific attack was carried out seemingly completely randomly.

While many reacted to the incident with anger, others expressed a feeling of abandonment and total fear to step out their front doors.

Because video of the barbaric attack was captured and shared online, it has only heightened these concerns.

Now London’s Metropolitan Police are suggesting that everyone sharing the video is encouraging the spread of “misinformation.”

In a statement, Chief Superintendent Jill Horsfall said “I am aware of footage circulating online that relates to yesterday’s incident in Uxbridge. I would urge people to stop circulating this on social media.”

The reason they don’t want people to see it?

“In order to avoid speculation and further misinformation, we can confirm that the suspect lived in a private residential address.”

So not in a migrant hotel. Right, but why does that mean people shouldn’t see what this crazed savage who arrived in the country illegally did?

The statement continues, “Our priority is securing justice for the man who sadly died and the others who were injured during this incident. Sharing this footage could impede future court proceedings and cause further distress to those directly impacted by these events, as well as their loved ones.”

“Please be considerate with what you are sharing online, and keep up to date with our news website for any accurate updates on this incident,” the statement concludes.

Jeanine Pirro Unmasks Third Suspect in Murder of 21-Year-Old Capitol Hill Intern Eric Tarpinian-Jachym

DC US Attorney Jeanine Jeanine Pirro on Thursday unmasked the third suspect in the murder of 21-year-old Capitol Hill intern Eric Tarpinian-Jachym.

As previously reported, a 21-year-old intern for Republican Representative Ron Estes of Kansas was killed in late June in Washington, D.C..

Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, 21, who was a student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, was shot and killed in Northwest Washington, D.C.

Police reported that the shooting occurred around 10:28 pm on June 30 when the suspects fired shots at Tarpinian-Jachym and two others, which included a 16-year-old male and an adult female.

Last month Mugshots of the two ‘juveniles’ who murdered Eric Tarpinian-Jachym were finally released this weekend after authorities hid their identities for months.

Fox News reported that investigators have stated the shooting was targeted, but Tarpinian-Jachym was not the intended target.

On Thursday it was revealed that police finally arrested the third suspect accused of killing Tarpinian and Zoey Kelley: 18-year-old Naqwan Lucas.

Jeanine Pirro went off on the Democrat DC Council for protecting young criminals.

“We live in a district where all three of these juveniles that I just mentioned are known to the juvenile court. That’s all I’m gonna say. I can’t say more and I want to,” Pirro said in a fiery rebuke.

“But I can tell you this that 2 innocent souls were taken from us in what I believe were predictable homicides based on the behavior of these individuals and the records that everyone knew about!” she said.

Pirro continued, “But the DC Council is more interested in protecting young criminals under the guise of protecting the innocence of youth. It’s time for them to start protecting the citizens of the district, because this is what we’re ending up with!”

“We’re having victims five blocks away, 79 rounds on the ground! This is normal behavior in DC! No more excuses from this council!” Pirro said.

Justice Department Launches Investigation Into Whether Black Lives Matter Leaders Defrauded Donors

The Justice Department has launched an investigation into whether Black Lives Matter leaders defrauded donors of tens of millions of dollars.

The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) raised over $90 million in 2020 during and after the George Floyd riots. They also raised more than $75 million in 2021.

The donations to BLMGNF have significantly dwindled in recent years because the majority of the public no longer supports Black Lives Matter.

The Associated Press reported that DOJ prosecutors have already issued subpoenas and “at least one search warrant.”

No other details about the investigation were released.

Fox News also reported that prosecutors are investigating BLM leaders.

AP reported:

The Justice Department is investigating whether leaders in the Black Lives Matter movement defrauded donors who contributed tens of millions of dollars during racial justice protests in 2020, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.

In recent weeks, federal law enforcement officials have issued subpoenas and at least one search warrant as part of an investigation into the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc. and other Black-led organizations that helped spark a national reckoning on systemic racism, said the people, who were not authorized to discuss an ongoing criminal probe by name and spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press.

It was not clear if the investigation would result in criminal charges, but its mere existence invites fresh scrutiny to a movement that in recent years has faced criticism about its public accounting of donations they have received. The recent burst of investigative activity is also unfolding at a time when civil rights groups have raised concerns about the potential for the Trump administration to target a broad variety of progressive and left-leaning groups that have been critical of him, including those affiliated with BLM, the transgender rights movement and anti-ICE protesters.

Last year the former head of Black Lives Matter Atlanta was sentenced to prison for stealing donations to fund his lavish lifestyle.

Tyree Conyers-Page was sentenced to 42 months in prison after he was found guilty on one count of wire fraud and three counts of money laundering

Mega Police Operation in Rio de Janeiro Favelas Against Comando Vermelho Leaders Leaves 64 Dead Including 4 Officers and 81 Arrested

This Tuesday, October 28, 2025, an unprecedented anti-drug trafficking operation stormed the Penha and Alemão favela complexes—two bastions of terror in Rio de Janeiro’s north zone—leaving a devastating toll of 64 dead, including four brave law enforcement officers, and 81 detained.

Nearly 2,500 heavily armed police officers were mobilized, backed by 32 armored vehicles, two helicopters, and surveillance drones.

The forces responded to the escalating violence orchestrated by the Comando Vermelho (CV), Rio’s most dominant and brutal criminal faction, responsible for flooding the streets with drugs and death.

State Governor Cláudio Castro spared no words in describing the action as “the largest operation in Rio de Janeiro’s history” against the CV—an organization born in the 1970s inside Carioca prisons and which today controls much of the cocaine and marijuana trafficking in the region.

Perth men charged over seizure of more than five tonnes of illicit cigarettes, vapes and loose tobacco

Two Perth brothers have faced court charged over the alleged distribution of illicit tobacco products in WA after the seizure of more than four million cigarettes, about 50,000 vapes and almost 900 kilograms of loose-leaf tobacco.

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) charged Nedlands man Hossein Al Mansouri, 32, and Dianella man Mousa Al Mansouri, 33, as part of an investigation into a national organised crime syndicate allegedly selling illicit tobacco and vaping products in WA, then sending the profits back to the eastern states.

Police allege illegally distributing the seized products would have avoided about $8 million in Commonwealth excise and taxes.

The AFP and WA Police, along with Australian Border Force, say they executed multiple search warrants in Perth in August.

FBI Arrests Illinois Man Accused of Making ‘Heinous’ Threats Against Trump

An Illinois man has been charged in federal court with making threats against President Donald Trump, following an investigation led by the FBI and the U.S. Secret Service.

Derek Lopez, 27, was arrested on Oct. 28 without incident in El Paso after FBI agents from the agency’s Springfield office and El Paso police conducted a coordinated traffic stop.

“The driver, identified as Derek Lopez of El Paso, was wanted on a federal warrant for making threats against the President,” the El Paso Police Department said in a statement. “Lopez was apprehended without resistance.”

The suspect was interviewed by FBI and Secret Service agents before being booked into the Woodford County Jail. He faces a federal charge of making threats against the president, a crime punishable by up to five years in prison.

FBI Director Kash Patel called the alleged threats “heinous” and said they would be pursued with the full force of law.

“The threats against President Trump allegedly posted by this individual are heinous and have no place in our society,” Patel said in a post on social media. “Let this be a message: anyone who threatens violence against public officials or any American will be found and brought to justice.”

Democrat lawmaker secretly filmed critics in BED with man to try and silence her, prosecutors say

Maryland State Senator Dalya Attar has been indicted after allegedly filming two of her rivals in bed together in an attempt to silence them. 

The bombshell indictment, filed on October 23, alleged that Attar, 35, planted tracking and recording devices to catch her two critics in the act. 

Attar then threatened to release the footage of the two ‘in bed’ unless they met her demands not to speak out against her publicly, prosecutors said. 

She is facing eight federal charges of extortion and conspiracy related to the alleged plot, which prosecutors said occurred in the run-up to the 2020 and 2022 elections. 

The target of her scheme was allegedly a political consultant whom Attar filmed in bed with a married man.  

The Democrat state senator has held office since 2019, and was the first Orthodox Jewish woman to serve on the Maryland State Senate when she was selected to fill a vacant seat in January. 

What’s more, she has been recognized as the highest ranking Orthodox Jewish woman in US history, and is currently in a hotly contested re-election campaign to retain her senate seat. 

Court records first reported by the Baltimore Sun showed that Attar is in federal custody, along with her brother Joseph Attar and another man named as Kalman Finkelstein, a city police officer.

Director of Disney’s private Caribbean island, 65, charged with raping American woman, 29, on the beach

The director of Disney’s Castaway Cay private cruise ship island in the Bahamas has been charged with raping an American woman on a beach, the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal. 

Gursel Sahibas, 65, is accused of indecently assaulting the 29-year-old victim when they went for a swim at the shipwreck-themed resort.

Sources say the woman repeatedly begged him to stop but it has been claimed that married Sahinbas continued to grope her while they were in the ocean.

She returned to her native Florida following the alleged attack on September 22, but reported it to Bahamian officials based in the US one week later.

Her written complaint was passed to the Royal Bahamas Police Force and Sahinbas was arrested by cops from Great Abaco, the nearest island to 1,000-acre Castaway Cay.

The accused appeared in a Nassau court Thursday morning on rape and indecent assault charges where he was granted $15,000 cash bail and ordered not to contact the victim.

His attorney Tamika Roberts said Sahinbas was a British national who wanted to return to his home in Liverpool, northwest England.

Judge Petra Hanna agreed but said he must come back to the Bahamas for a January 21 hearing.
