Cop Who Killed One Year Old Resigns As Body Camera Footage Released, Won’t Be Charged

Late last week, more information surfaced regarding the killing of one year old Kohen Wiley in the parking lot of a Walmart in Mississippi by Senatobia police.

As The Free Thought Project has previously reported, on June 14th of this year, in the parking lot of a Walmart in Tate County, Mississippi, about 40 miles south of Memphis, Tennessee at approximately 2:00 PM officers of the Senatobia Police Department and Tate County Sheriff’s Department responded to a call of a potential shoplifter. Reports allege the officers witnessed two women, identified as Vellesiya Wiley, and Latoya Ferrell, carrying a package of diapers and one year old Kohen Wiley to their vehicle, and the officers gave pursuit.

In the insuing chaos shots rang out. In the aftermath, Ferrell was critically injured, shot in the arm and the thigh. One year old Kohen lay dead in his mother’s arms.

Following the shooting, a statement from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation alleged that as the vehicle fled the scene it swerved towards officers, prompting them to discharge their weapon. A claim which until recently had remained unverified. Now video evidence of the altercation in the form of body camera footage has been leaked to the public to show the truth.

NY’s Top Prosecutors Go Silent When Asked by a Reporter if They Ordered Lighter Charges for Illegal Aliens to Avoid Deportation

New York Attorney General Letitia James, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz, and Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez went silent when a New York Post reporter asked them at a Thursday gun-seizure press conference whether they had ordered prosecutors to downgrade charges against illegal aliens so they could avoid deportation, as detailed in a recent House Judiciary Committee report.

The reporter specifically asked, “Did any of you order prosecutors to downgrade gun charges to keep illegal immigrants in the US, per the Judiciary Committee report?”

“This is a gun-safety question,” the Post reporter pressed. “Any response from any of you?”

James smiled and said nothing, Katz shrugged with her hands up, and staff quickly moved the event along after Katz muttered, “Our answer couldn’t help it.”

After the presser, the attorneys again refused to address the House investigation, with James smiling without a word and Katz deferring to a spokesperson, according to a report from the New York Post.

California Sanctuary Cities Ignored 8,901 ICE Detainers and Released Violent Criminals, House Judiciary Report Finds

A new House Judiciary Committee report states that authorities in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego ignored a combined 8,901 ICE detainers, allowing criminal aliens with records that included homicide, sexual assault, kidnapping, burglary, weapons offenses, and child abuse to be released back into communities.

The 22-page interim staff report, led by Chairman Jim Jordan and Rep. Tom McClintock, was released on Thursday.

According to the report, the Los Angeles Police Department honored just four of the 4,177 ICE detainers it received between January 2020 and June 2026, a compliance rate below 0.1 percent.

The San Francisco Sheriff’s Office rejected all 2,201 detainers it received between January 2020 and August 2026.

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office declined 2,527 detainers between January 2023 and June 2026, including 894 in the last year.

The report details:

The effects of Los Angeles’s longstanding pro-criminal alien policies have been devastating. Herbert Nixon Flores, an illegal alien from El Salvador, “had been ordered removed and physically deported from the United States 10 times” since 1990. His criminal history “included carrying a concealed weapon, trespassing, burglary, disturbing the peace, possession and transportation of a controlled substance, impersonation, driving under the influence, driving without a license, driving with a suspended license, resisting arrest, vandalism, criminal threats and illegal entry.” On September 7, 2020, he was arrested “for a domestic violence with injury charge by [LAPD].” The next day, ICE lodged a detainer with LAPD, but local law enforcement released Nixon Flores onto California streets. Four months later, Nixon Flores murdered his ex-girlfriend in front of their young child. In other cases, LAPD’s compliance with sanctuary laws meant declining detainers for criminal aliens who were later arrested for committing serious crimes, including murder.

Other examples used included David Mora Rojas, a Mexican national who overstayed a visa and was arrested five days before the February 2022 Sacramento church shooting in which he killed his three daughters and another man before killing himself.

ICE had requested notification of his release, but he was freed on bail.

The Largest Heist in History: Hackers Steal $6 Billion in Crypto from Binance

Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, suspended withdrawals  after hackers stole $6 billion from its digital wallets in what is being described as the biggest financial heist on record.

Axios reports that Binance co-founder Yi He announced on X that the exchange had suspended deposits and withdrawals following the suspected breach. “User funds are safe,” she wrote, adding, “Binance will cover all hacking losses.” Multiple reports put the amount stolen from the exchange at $6 billion in cryptocurrency.

Co-CEO Richard Teng also commented on the issue, saying, “Bottom Line — your money is safe, and we’re covering every loss.”

Binance published an official disclosure of the incident in a post on X. According to the exchange, “Binance’s initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions.”

Progressive DAs Have Nothing to Say About Downcharging for Illegal Immigrants

Earlier this week, Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee released a report titled “New York City: The Dangerous Consequences of Sanctuary Policies.” The gist of the report is that DAs throughout the city have a habit of downcharging crimes to make sure that the individuals being charged don’t get deported.

Today, several of those DAs and AG Letitia James gave a press conference about some gun seizures and were asked about the report. Suddenly, none of them had anything to say.

From the NY Post:

The attorneys — state AG Letitia James, and city District Attorneys Melinda Katz and Eric Gonzalez — stared blank-faced when asked by The Post about the damning report at a Thursday gun-safety press conference.

“Did any of you order prosecutors to downgrade gun charges to keep illegal immigrants in the US, per the Judiciary Committee report the recent house judiciary report?” a reporter asked, explaining the report could clearly indicate a gun-safety issue.

But the attorneys merely smiled and blinked — with Katz even throwing her hands up in a shrug.

It’s odd that they have nothing to say because the report has been out since Monday and it’s all about them and their office policies. This is from the 22-page report:

  • Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz employs an “Immigration Specialist” to help dangerous foreign nationals avoid immigration consequences for their criminality. Recognizing that “[a] broad range of criminal convictions may trigger severe immigration consequences” for criminal aliens, the Immigration Specialist “helps Assistant District Attorneys navigate through plea options and assist in framing dispositions that will prevent unwanted immigration consequences.”…
  • Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has admitted that “consider[ing] any likely immigration consequences” is “appropriate” in cases involving foreign nationals. Bragg previously specified in a January 2022 memorandum that his office would “seek dispositions that avoid immigration consequences for all misdemeanors, and all felonies for which non-carceral outcomes are the presumptive outcome.” In correspondence to the Committee and Subcommittee, Bragg’s office described that policy as “outdated” and replaced by a policy that broadly directed assistant district attorneys “to apply their judgment on a case-by-case basis to achieve public safety and justice.”
  • Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark requires prosecutors in her office to consider “immigration” along with a “broad range of other potential collateral consequences when initiating a prosecution.” She has even boasted that her office agreed to dozens of requests “to re-plead to an alternative crime, primarily due to immigration concerns.”
  • Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced nearly a decade ago that his office was “implementing a new policy aimed at minimizing collateral immigration consequences of criminal convictions, particularly for misdemeanor and other low-level offenses.” At that time, the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office “hired two immigration attorneys to train all staff on immigration issues and to advise prosecutors when making plea offers and sentencing recommendations on cases of non-citizen defendants in an effort to avoid disproportionate collateral consequences, such as deportation, while maintaining public safety.” To achieve “an immigration-neutral disposition,” Gonzalez directed prosecutors to “consider alternative offenses the defendant can plead to as well as reasonable modifications to the sentence recommendation,” even suggesting that a criminal alien be offered “a plea for a lesser offense in light of the disproportionate immigration consequences a higher level offense may result in.” Gonzalez has boasted that his policy has resulted in reaching “plea deals with immigrant defendants that allowed them to avoid deportation.”
  • Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon established an Immigrant Affairs and Collateral Consequences Unit to advise prosecutors “on cases with collateral consequences” to ensure that criminal aliens can avoid deportation. This work includes drafting motions related to “immigration collateral consequence[s] and pardon requests” and even “[c]ontacting [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] to postpone removal proceedings against defendants, witnesses, and victims for the interest of justice.”

Ugandan serial cannibal butchered, ate 38 people over 15-year reign of terror, general claims

Soldiers in Uganda caught an alleged serial killer cannibal who is accused of killing and eating 38 people over his savage 15-year spree, authorities said.

Mujurizi Moses is the “worst serial killer and cannibal in Uganda’s history” who devoured body parts of dozens of victims victims between 2010 and 2025, the country’s defense chief General Muhoozi Kainerugaba alleged on Monday.

The machete-wielding maniac is accused of slaughtering a pastor and his family, a witchdoctor, eight of his own relatives, and an elderly woman hacked to death in front of her two grandchildren, according to the Daily Monitor, a Ugandan outlet.

Mujurizi — who police believe was also working as a contract killer — would allegedly break through the walls of family homes, butcher everyone inside, and eat their body parts, the outlet said.

He also allegedly lured women into romantic relationships before slaughtering them, according to local reports.

“We will try him in public, and definitely execute him,” Muhoozi wrote on X.

Mujurizi may have killed even more people.

Germany’s Political Justice? AfD Lawmaker Convicted Over Innocent Family Protection Poster

Imagine running for office on a promise to protect families — and ending up with a criminal record because of a photograph of parents shielding their children.

That is what happened to Wilko Möller, a lawmaker from Germany’s right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

His alleged offense? Distributing a campaign poster featuring a mother and father forming a protective roof with their arms over three children.

The slogan read: “We Protect Your Children.”

German prosecutors argued that the father’s raised right arm looked like a Nazi salute.

Now, Germany’s highest criminal court has upheld Möller’s conviction.

The price: €11,600 and a criminal record.

A Family Photo Becomes a Criminal Offense

The controversy began during the 2024 state election campaign in Brandenburg, eastern Germany.

Möller’s campaign used a commercially available stock photograph showing two adults protecting three children beneath their raised arms.

The image was digitally mirrored by the advertising agency preparing the poster.

That detail became central to the prosecution.

In the original photograph, the man raised his left arm. After the image was reversed, he appeared to raise his right arm.

Under German law, the Nazi salute is prohibited. The ban also covers gestures deemed confusingly similar to it.

Prosecutors argued that the mirrored photograph crossed that legal boundary.

The Regional Court in Frankfurt (Oder) agreed.

Not again! Another senior cop in the GTA charged with serious criminal offences

Not again. Yes, again!

Another senior police officer in the Greater Toronto Area has been criminally charged with several serious offences. The charges include:

  • possessing property obtained by crime
  • possessing for the purpose of trafficking
  • breach of trust
  • breach of trust in accessing data
  • unauthorized use of a computer
  • possessing a counterfeit stamp
  • AND attempting to obstruct justice

Sgt. Kin Pong Wong, 44, who recently worked as a front-line patrol sergeant for the York Regional Police Service, was arrested on Oct. 23. His arrest followed an investigation by both York and Peel Regional Police.

In a news release, York Regional Police noted that Wong has been employed with the force since 2009 and that he has since been suspended with pay. (Isn’t that another descriptor for “paid vacation”? But we digress…)

Granted, Peel Police are assisting this investigation into a York copper. But given the torrent of police corruption stories of late, is anyone 100 per cent satisfied that this investigation will be fair and square? At the end of the day, this is yet again another story of police investigating other police. Isn’t this an inherent conflict of interest from the get-go?

Rebel News recently dropped by York Regional Police headquarters in Aurora, Ont., looking for answers. For starters, we experienced a feeling of déjà vu. The last time we visited headquarters was back in February, regarding the Project South investigation. This was the shocking investigation in which several members of the Toronto Police Service were charged with serious crimes ranging from bribery and drug trafficking to extortion and even conspiracy to commit murder. (Police told CP24 the charges against Wong are not related to Project South.)

Both the York and Toronto brass hosted the presser, and Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw reiterated that moving forward the cops would be committed to “transparency” and “accountability” to restore public trust.

Really?

Because when cameraman Lincoln Jay and I showed up to attend the presser, we were denied entry. We were even threatened with arrest for filming OUTSIDE police headquarters!

For starters, does that seem “transparent” and “accountable” to you? Apparently, only members of the government-funded media were allowed to attend.

Secondly, this “law” that we were allegedly breaking by filming outside a police station? There is no such law. It’s just a bogus rule that the cops use to intimidate people, and it’s completely unenforceable. So again, we must ponder: where’s the “transparency”? Where’s the “accountability”?

At the end of the day, the Wong matter boils down to yet another disturbing story of a police officer allegedly breaking the law, resulting in police policing police. And so it is that we must yet again defer to our favourite Latin phrase: Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Translation: Who guards the guardians?

Hero Off-Duty FBI Agent Shoots Dead a Crazed Venezuelan Illegal Alien Who Was Firing into Chicago Homeless Camp, Previously Caught and Released by Biden

An off-duty FBI agent driving home in Chicago on Monday night stopped and fatally shot a 27-year-old Venezuelan illegal alien who was firing a gun toward people in a homeless encampment, according to multiple federal law enforcement sources who spoke to Fox News.

The alien, identified as Oscar D. Corrales, had been caught at the southern border in October 2023 and released into the United States under the Biden administration.

Corrales also had a prior arrest in California but was reportedly released by law enforcement despite an ICE detainer.

Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reports:

Multiple federal law enforcement sources tell Fox News that the man who was shot and killed by an off-duty FBI agent in Chicago last night was a Venezuelan illegal alien who was seen shooting into a homeless encampment. Per sources, the FBI agent was driving alone when he saw 27-year-old OSCAR D. CORRALES shooting at people in the encampment, and the agent stopped and shot CORRALES, killing him.

Fox is told CORRALES was previously caught and released at the southern border by the Biden administration in October 2023, and he has a previous arrest in California in which he was released from custody with an ICE detainer ignored.

Corrales sustained multiple gunshot wounds, including to both legs, his chest, and right flank.

He was pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital less than an hour after the shooting.

DHS Blasts Minnesota Officials After Serial Sex Assault Suspect is Released Despite ICE Detainer, Then Tries to Drag Woman Out of Her Apartment Window

Department of Homeland Security officials are blasting Minnesota authorities after a Mexican illegal alien with a long record of sexual assaults and violence was released after ICE lodged a detainer against him in May.

Eduart Gomez Ochoa, 28, who first entered the United States illegally in November 2000, was arrested on October 24 after a two-day manhunt.

Ochoa is now charged with first-degree burglary and attempted kidnapping for allegedly reaching through a ground-level apartment window in St. Paul last Thursday, grabbing a 21-year-old woman who was cooking near the window, and trying to pull her outside before she kicked and screamed until he fled.

Police recovered a hat and headband at the scene that the victim said belonged to him.

The victim later identified him from a photo lineup.

In a post on X about the case, DHS wrote, “This criminal alien should have NEVER been released. Eduart Gomez Ochoa, a Mexican national with a rap sheet a mile long, was recently RELEASED by local officials in Minnesota. Shortly after his release, he reoffended and has been apprehended again.”

“ICE first lodged a detainer for Gomez Ochoa in May. Minnesota officials should honor this detainer so that this serial sexual assaulter can be finally be deported,” the post continued.

In May, Ochoa was charged with second-degree criminal sexual conduct, first-degree burglary, and third-degree assault after allegedly entering another apartment in St. Paul through a window and sexually assaulting a girl by sucking on her foot while holding her down.

Ochoa was arrested about ten days later and admitted to assaulting the girl but claimed he had met her at a gas station.

Within days of that arrest, he was also accused of two additional sexual assaults in Maplewood in which he allegedly approached women, groped them, and in one case bit a victim’s face.

Court records and local reporting show he has prior arrests for domestic abuse in violation of a protection order, multiple domestic assaults, felony threats of violence, felony fleeing a police officer, felony burglary, providing a false name, leaving the scene of a collision, dangerous weapons, theft, obstruction, and third-degree assault.
