Trump’s Anti-Crime Order Brings Back Long Term Facilities to House the Mentally Ill and Addicted

President Donald Trump issued a July 24 executive order titled “Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets.” A record of more than 274,000 individuals were found to be experiencing homelessness. Homelessness often leads to increased crime and fires. Trump’s order pushes local governments to redirect the homeless to “long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment.” Cabinet heads have been instructed to prioritize funding to cities that work to abolish open drug use and camping on the streets. During the Biden administration, from 2022 – 2024, the federal government spent $28 billion, with most of the money going to Democrat cities that include New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Denver, Portland and San Francisco. During this period, homelessness increased by a whopping  33%. 

As of 2025, an estimated 72,308 people experienced homelessness in Los Angeles County. Homelessness is a business, and non-profit organizations are getting rich, in Democrat -majority California. The state currently is “missing” $24 billion in funds intended for the homeless! The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) is set to lose $300 million in funding, about 40% of its $875-million budget. LAHSA the lead agency that coordinates and manages federal, state, county, and city funds for the homeless.

Ex-DOGE staffer nicknamed ‘Big Balls’ left bloodied after savage DC carjacking attempt by 10 juveniles

A 19-year-old former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffer was beaten and bloodied by a mob of 10 minors early Sunday as he thwarted a carjacking attempt in the nation’s capital, according to DC police.

Edward Coristine, whose LinkedIn handle earned him the nickname “Big Balls” at DOGE, was with a woman near downtown DC when he saw the group of juveniles approach their car and “make a comment about taking the vehicle,” according to a Metropolitan Police Department incident report obtained by The Post.

“At that point, for her safety, [Coristine] pushed his significant other … into the vehicle and turned to deal with the suspects,” the dramatic report continues.

“The suspects then began to assault [Coristine],” the ex-DOGE staffer told officers, who rolled up on the scene at the same time he was being attacked.

Officers patrolling the 1400 block of Swann Street NW — a popular area with several shops, bars and restaurants about a mile north of the White House — noticed “a group of approximately ten juveniles surrounding the complainants’ vehicle and assaulting [Coristine],” the report states.

Most Illegals Have Some Connection to Gangs, Cartels, or Human Traffickers

Democrat lawmakers and the mainstream media often claim that less than half of the illegal immigrants currently in detention have criminal records, with some reports stating that 74% have no prior convictions. However, a criminal conviction is not required for deportation, as 100% of these individuals have already broken the law by entering or remaining in the country illegally.

Moreover, focusing solely on convictions ignores those with pending criminal charges, known affiliations with gangs or cartels, or those who were trafficked into the country. When these groups are included, the percentage of illegal immigrants with ties to criminal activity rises to nearly 80%.

Even if Democrats insist on using criminal record as the standard for deportation, a recent ICE operation, Operation Patriot, revealed that approximately 54% of the 1,461 individuals arrested had either criminal convictions or pending charges. This rate far exceeds that of the general U.S. adult population, where roughly one-third, about 70 to 100 million people, have some form of criminal record, including arrests without convictions.

Many illegal immigrants without pending charges are still arrested by ICE because the agency specifically targets individuals with known or suspected criminal backgrounds. For example, during the first 50 days of President Trump’s administration, 75% of ICE arrests involved individuals with either criminal convictions or pending charges. In lawful, warrant-based raids on homes and workplaces, everyone present is required to show identification and proof of citizenship.

It is during these checks that many are found to be in the country illegally and often identified as having gang affiliations. According to ICE data, well over half of all illegal immigrants have some form of connection to gangs, cartels, or human traffickers.

According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), 97% of those who entered the U.S. illegally did so via the U.S.-Mexico border, almost entirely through smuggling networks. U.S. Border Patrol officials have stated that “nobody crosses without paying the cartels,” confirming that illegal immigration is now fully monopolized by criminal organizations.

These smuggling operations are run by “coyotes” who operate directly under cartel control. As a result, nearly all illegal immigrants entering through the southern border have some level of connection to a drug cartel.

Migrants pay steep fees to cross the border, averaging $6,937 for Mexican nationals and between $7,000 and $10,000 for Central Americans. Using a conservative estimate of $6,500 per person, cartels likely earned over $13 billion from human smuggling in FY2023 alone, based on the 2.8 million illegal crossings reported that year. But smuggling is only the beginning of the exploitation many migrants face.

Research from San Diego State University found that 6% of undocumented Mexican immigrants were trafficked by smugglers during entry, while 28% were trafficked by employers after arrival, meaning more than one-third experienced trafficking either en route or once in the U.S.

Forced Hospitalization Increases Suicide and Violent Crime

States are rolling out more and more aggressive forced treatment policies, ever widening the range of people who can be targeted for involuntary hospitalization. Yet a new study shows that this system is actually increasing the very problems it is meant to alleviate: Forced hospitalization substantially increases the risk of death by suicide, death by overdose, and violent crime—nearly doubling these effects.

“This result is surprising,” the researchers write in an accompanying FAQ. “Involuntary hospitalizations are a public safety measure, and the finding that they are driving more of the outcomes they seek to prevent in the judgement call subpopulation we study has important policy implications. The significance is especially pronounced since many locations across the country are seeking to scale up involuntary hospitalizations.”

Although the layperson may think that involuntary hospitalization is rare, the researchers note that it is “a widespread practice,” with 1.2 million people forcibly hospitalized each year. That makes it more than twice as common as death from cancer, they write. And this practice is growing more common every year, with many states implementing policies to expand forced treatment.

It has been difficult for researchers to study whether involuntary hospitalization is actually helpful or not. Research consistently shows that those who get hospitalized are at greater risk of suicide and other negative outcomes after hospitalization. However, this is confounded by the fact that, supposedly, those who get hospitalized are those who are already at a much higher risk of these outcomes.

The current study aimed to get around this limitation. They used quasi-random assignment (a way of mapping real-world outcomes that simulates a randomized trial) and focused solely on the cases that were considered “judgment calls”—cases in which one clinician might hospitalize, while another might not—to remove that confounding factor. Thus, the current study is probably as close as we will ever get to having a true randomized, controlled trial to answer this question.

Of course, this also means that their study results only apply to those “judgment call” cases—but the researchers estimate that they add up to 43% of all involuntarily hospitalized patients.

Ultimately, although they can’t say that all involuntary hospitalization is detrimental, they are able to say that it is detrimental on average for nearly half of those who experience it—and thus, in “judgment call” cases, clinicians should err on the side of not forcibly imprisoning their patients.

And the policy implication is that involuntary hospitalization should be drastically reduced, not rolled out as a policy to capture more and more people.

“Does involuntary hospitalization achieve its goals?” the researchers ask. “Our results suggest that, on the margin, the system we study is not achieving the intended effects of the policy.”

The study was conducted by Natalia Emanuel at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Pim Welle at the Allegheny County Department of Human Services, and Valentin Bolotnyy at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. It was published sans peer review in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Staff Reports.

Manhunt for former U.S. soldier suspected of murdering 4 in Montana continues into 3rd day

The manhunt for the suspect accused of killing four people at a Montana bar on Friday morning has intensified, with the search stretching into its third day as the suspect remains at large.

Authorities are continuing the rigorous search for 45-year-old Michael Paul Brown of Anaconda, the suspect who allegedly murdered a female bartender and three male patrons.

Brown, a former U.S. soldier, allegedly carried out the shooting with a rifle believed to be his personal weapon, according to Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen.

The shooting occurred at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, and law enforcement has yet to identify a motive.

“This is an unstable individual who walked in and murdered four people in cold blood for no reason whatsoever. So there absolutely is concern for the public,” Knudsen stated.

Law enforcement officials have since released surveillance video footage captured shortly after the shootings in which Brown appeared to be walking barefoot, wearing just his boxers.

Brown has since stolen a vehicle that contained camping gear, shoes, and clothing, according to law enforcement.

Meanwhile, Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest announced on Saturday that over 16 square miles of the park will be closed through August 16th to “ensure public health and safety during the ongoing law enforcement investigation and search efforts to locate the suspect for the Anaconda murders.”

The Anaconda-Deer Lodge County Law Enforcement Center added that Brown is believed to be armed and dangerous.

“It’s a heavy and sad and intense time,” stated Anaconda resident Hope Hollingsworth. “This is hurting everyone. It’s just a beautiful and just a kind community that this is going to impact us for a long time.”

David Gwerder, the owner of the bar where the shooting occurred, revealed that Brown knew everyone at the venue during the time of the shooting.

“He didn’t have any running dispute with any of them. I just think he snapped,” Gwerder stated.

Additionally, Clare Boyle, Brown’s niece, added that her uncle had a history of mental health issues.

Police: Texas Mom Armed 13-Year-Old Son, Helped Him Plot Attack on School

Purple haired Texas mom Ashley Pardo faces charges for allegedly helping her son plan a mass shooting on Rhodes Middle School as way of rewarding him for babysitting, according to the Daily Mail.

The school is located in San Antonio, Texas.

The 33-year-old mom allegedly “purchased ammunition, tactical gear, and loaded magazines for her [13-year-old] son.”

Law enforcement indicated the son “drew chilling maps of his school marked ‘suicide route,’ idolized white supremacist mass shooters, and planned to carry out a massacre.”

The Daily Mail pointed to an affidavit showing Pardo allegedly helped prepare her son for the attack “in exchange for babysitting his siblings.” She was charged with “aiding in the commission of terrorism.”

KENS5 noted that Pardo also faces charges of child endangerment-criminal negligence over an incident that occurred on March 3, 2023.

While executing a search warrant on Pardo’s resident, police found photos from 2023 showing her allegedly pointing a shotgun at an 11-month-old girl. She allegedly texted the photos to the girl’s biological father along with text saying the victim was “being a brat.”

Leftist WA activist raises $12,000 on GoFundMe for illegal immigrant wanted for murder in Mexico

A GoFundMe campaign raised over $12,000 for an illegal migrant referred to as “Paco,” who was detained last month by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Washington state. The campaign described the illegal immigrant as a friend and a hardworking business owner. However, it has since been revealed that “Paco’s” real identity is Yussef Zarate-Barbon, a Mexican national who is wanted in his home country for homicide.

The online fundraiser, created by leftist activist Carissa Miller, was amplified in a recent news article published in The Olympian, a local newspaper that did not include Zarate-Barbon’s past. Brandi Kruse, an independent journalist and host of the “UnDivided” podcast, was the first to report on the apprehended migrant’s true identity.

The GoFundMe campaign for “Paco” has since been shut down as of Tuesday. It read at the time: “On June 24th my close friend and neighbor, Paco, was abducted by ICE,” the fundraiser read. “He was pulled over while riding passenger and removed from the vehicle without a warrant or receiving any information about why he was being detained.”

“He is currently being held in the NW detention center and still hasn’t been told why he is being held,” the fundraiser continued. “Paco is a local business owner of a mechanic shop in Lacey as well as running a small organic farm, all of this on the books. He was the ‘bread winner’ for his family who are struggling to wrap up loose ends and shut down his business in his absence.”

Muslim Migrants Found NOT GUILTY of Attempted “Honor Killing” Despite Being Caught on Tape Violently Assaulting Daughter Allegedly For Not Wanting to Marry Older Muslim Man

A stunning verdict was reached earlier this week in the case of two Muslim immigrants living in Washington State who stood accused of one of the most unimaginable crimes.

As Fox 13 reported, both the mother and father were found not guilty on Thursday of attempting an “honor killing” of their 17-year-old daughter. Back in October, they were accused of trying to murder their daughter after she refused to go to their native Iraq and marry an older man.

A jury in Lacey, Washington found 44-year-old Ihsan Ali, the victim’s dad, not guilty of second-degree attempted murder and first-degree assault. Instead, they found him guilty of second-degree and fourth-degree assault and unlawful imprisonment.

The victim’s mom, 40-year-old Zahraa Ali, was found guilty of violating a protective order but acquitted of second-degree attempted murder, second-degree assault, and second-degree burglary.
