Trump blocked from deploying National Guard in OR but can federalize troops, court says

 The 9th Circuit Court has granted an administrative stay on a temporary restraining order that had blocked the federalization and deployment of 200 Oregon National Guard members.

The administrative stay follows a Tuesday order from Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek telling guardsmen to demobilize and go home.

Wednesday’s order from the 9th Circuit judges keeps the Guard under federal control but blocks their deployment until the panel of judges can rule more broadly on the Trump administration’s request to overrule a district judge’s order that blocks the Guard’s deployment in Portland.

Arguments on the federal government’s appeal are scheduled for Thursday morning at 9 a.m.

The initial restraining order, issued on Oct. 4, was in response to a memorandum from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authorizing the deployment.

Chicago Mayor Refuses to Answer If He Would Deport an Illegal Who Beat, Raped His Own Wife — Cracks Joke Instead

Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson emasculated himself by suggesting he wouldn’t deport an illegal alien who hypothetically beat up and raped his wife.

Johnson — who has been obstructing President Donald Trump’s efforts to rid his crime-infested city of violent illegal aliens — made the cowardly admission at a news conference Tuesday.

Reporter William Kelly teed up Johnson’s humiliating self-own by recounting a crime that occurred last month, in which an illegal alien from Nicaragua grabbed a woman on the street, bashed her head in, and raped her.

“If that had been your wife, Stacie, would you want ICE to deport … that illegal alien? Yes or no?” Kelly asked.

Instead of responding, Johnson made a snarky jab, claiming Kelly’s YouTube views had dropped recently.

Kelly quipped that his social-media views were much higher than the mayor’s.

The reporter then asked Johnson to answer his question.

“Answer the question as a man — not as a mayor — but as a man,” Kelly reiterated. “Would you want ICE to deport that rapist?”

Once again, Johnson refused to respond.

“No? Okay, that’s the answer,” Kelly said.

Man allegedly sprayed his own ‘HIV positive blood’ at hospital employees after removing IV

A hospital patient allegedly removed an IV from his arm and used his “HIV positive blood” as a weapon by spraying it into the eyes of medical personnel.

According to an arrest warrant obtained by Law&Crime, 25-year-old Kameron Gilchrist was being treated for diabetes at UNC Rex Hospital on March 21, 2025.

Gilchrist began spraying “his HIV positive blood at the victims’ eyes” by “removing his IV from his arm,” per the warrant. It was not made clear if the victims, both hospital employees, contracted HIV.

Gilchrist was not arrested until September because he was still receiving medical and psychiatric treatment at the time of the incident and could not immediately be arrested, per local outlet WRAL.

National Guard troops begin arriving in Chicago to help with crime despite governor’s opposition

Hundreds of National Guard troops began arriving in Chicago on Wednesday morning to help with the Trump administration’s efforts to reduce violent crime in the Illinois city, despite pushback from the state’s governor.

The National Guard deployment consisted of approximately 200 troops from Texas and 300 from the Illinois National Guard, according to U.S. Northern Command. The troops will be stationed in the city for 60 days.

“These forces will protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other U.S. Government personnel who are performing federal functions, including the enforcement of federal law, and to protect federal property,” Northern Command said in a statement. 

The troops will be under Northern Command’s control.

Chicago and Illinois have sued the Trump administration to prevent the deployment of the National Guard and the city and state leaders have furiously condemned federal law enforcement operations in Chicago. 

​“The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props,” Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said on Sunday. “This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.”

HORROR: 64-Year-Old Man Beaten to Death on NYC Subway by Sword-Wielding Monster with 33 Prior Arrests

A 64-year-old man was beaten to death on a New York City subway on Tuesday by a sword-wielding monster with at least 33 prior arrests.

David Mazariegos, 25, beat a complete stranger to death on the subway in downtown Brooklyn because he didn’t like the way he looked at him.

According to reports, Mazariegos became angry after the unidentified victim held the subway doors open for him. The act of kindness set him off and he brutally beat the victim for more than 10 minutes.

Mazariegos repeatedly punched the victim in the face and stomped on his head more than a dozen times, according to The New York Post.

The attacker stole the victim’s wallet and took off on foot. He was later arrested in Times Square with a samurai sword.

Mazariegos did not have his sword drawn. It was attached to his backpack.

OUTRAGEOUS! Illegal Alien From El Salvador Gets Only One Year in Prison After Killing University of South Carolina Student

An illegal alien from El Salvador was sentenced to only one year in prison after he killed a University of South Carolina student in a hit-and-run crash.

On April 2, Rosali Fernandez-Cruz, 24, struck 21-year-old Nathaniel Baker, who was riding a motorcycle. Fernandez-Cruz reportedly did not yield, struck Baker and took off.

Baker’s family reportedly forgave Fernandez-Cruz and were consulted about the light sentence, Robert Kittle, spokesperson for the state attorney general’s office told Fox News.

A judge imposed a lenient sentence of only one year in prison.

The family did not want the case to be “politicized” or “publicized,” according to Kittle.

Fernandez-Cruz will be deported to El Salvador after he serves his sentence.

Fox News reported:

An illegal immigrant who pleaded guilty to killing a South Carolina college student in a hit-and-run will be released next year after completing his one-year sentence.

Rosali Fernandez-Cruz was admitted to the state Department of Corrections on Aug. 14, 2025, according to South Carolina Department of Corrections records.

His projected release date is March 2, 2026. Fernandez-Cruz pleaded guilty to hit-and-run resulting in death — the most serious charge against him — according to Robert Kittle, communications director for the state attorney general’s office, who spoke with Fox News Digital.

There was no plea agreement, and prosecutors informed the judge of other traffic-related charges against Fernandez-Cruz, Kittle said.

“The judge decided the sentence, which was one year,” he said.

Fernandez-Cruz, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, received the light sentence for the April 2 death of Nathaniel Baker, 21, in Columbia. Baker was a junior at the University of South Carolina and a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.

Illegal Alien Harbored in Chicago by Far-Left Gov. Pritzker Indicted for Running Human and Sex-Trafficking Ring in Ohio

A Chinese illegal alien living in Chicago under Democrat Governor J.B. Pritzker’s sanctuary policies has been indicted for running a human and sex-trafficking ring across state lines.

A Marion County Grand Jury in Ohio has indicted Xiaoping Peng, 53, of Chicago, Illinois, on a list of serious felony charges tied to a prostitution and trafficking enterprise that operated out of a so-called “Chinese Spa” located at 1288 Delaware Avenue in Marion, Ohio, according to Marion County Now.

According to the news outlet citing authorities, Peng entered the United States illegally during the Biden administration and managed to remain in Chicago after filing an asylum claim—a loophole frequently exploited under the administration’s open-border policies.

Officials say Peng acted as a courier and recruiter, transporting female victims across state lines and collecting proceeds tied to sexual exploitation. The investigation uncovered that the operation trafficked women from Illinois to Ohio between March 6 and June 17, 2025.

When Marion police raided the spa, they discovered evidence of ongoing forced prostitution and human exploitation, including communications and financial trails linking Peng to multiple states.

ICE Releases Illegal-alien School Superintendent’s Record

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has released the full criminal and immigration record of Ian Roberts, the illegal alien who somehow became the school superintendent in Des Moines, Iowa.

It’s a long record. The New York Post called his past a “sordid” one of “sex, lies and DEI payouts.” 

ICE arrested Roberts last week, and he resigned his nearly $300,000-a-year post shortly thereafter.

For its part, the Des Moines public school system is suing the company that was supposed to vet Roberts before he was hired.

Criminal Record

Roberts’ education career ended after ICE arrested the illegal alien from Guyana on September 26. The arrest cost him a $270,000-per-year salary plus generous fringe benefits.

Roberts was arrested with a loaded gun, a hunting knife, and $3,000 in cash, and tried to flee ICE when he was stopped. It turned out that he lied to the school board about his citizenship, and was registered to vote in Maryland. He falsely claimed to have earned a doctorate.

Now, ICE has revealed the details about his lengthy criminal career, aside from the charge of being an illegal alien in possession of a gun.

On July 3, 1996, in New York, he faced “charges for criminal possession of narcotics with intent to sell, criminal possession of narcotics, criminal possession of a forgery instrument and possession of a forged instrument,” ICE reported.

In November 1998, he faced a charge of unauthorized use of a vehicle in Queens, New York. The charge was later dismissed.

Fourteen years later, in Maryland, he was convicted of speeding, reckless driving, and unsafe operation.

Violent drug gang threatens US tourists and Kash Patel in terrifying message after raids and weapons seizures

Violent cartel members have threatened US tourists in Mexico in an effort to send a warning to FBI Director Kash Patel as the administration continues to crack down on drug and weapons trades.

Extraordinary banners have been erected in Baja California responding to recent raids and weapons seizures conducted by the FBI.

The messages claim that starting Sunday, cartel gunmen from the Los Chapitos faction of the Sinaloa cartel will begin targeting US citizens who are in Mexico with violence.

In particular, tourists and Americans living in Cabo San Lucas and San Jose have been warned they will be targeted.

Written in Spanish, the warnings state: ‘You will be the ones to blame. We’ll show how we’ll make this war starting 5/10/2025 on all Americans residing in areas where we have a presence… especially those living in San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas.

‘We are the ones who rule here and we’ll demonstrate what we are capable of if you don’t stop arresting our people and decommissioning our loads and weapons.’

Cartels are known to hang ‘narco banners’ from bridges and overpasses in an effort to deliver a message to governments or their rivals.

But Christian Agúndez Gómez, mayor of San Jose del Cabo maintained there is no credible proof of the existence of the banners.

‘It’s not true,’ he said. ‘We have investigated the information and determined the banners were never placed.’

He added: ‘There are necessary investigations that are still ongoing. We will monitor results issued by the attorney general.

‘Unfortunately, social media sometimes plays a role against people’s peace of mind, that’s why it’s important to verify the information with official sources before distributing it.’ 

Local news sources railed against the mayor’s comments, maintaining they had received images of the banners from multiple sources, according to Border Report. 

The banners were specifically addressed to Patel and Terry Cole, director of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. 

Mexico’s attorney general in Baja California Sur said there were instances in which banners had been falsely placed to spread fear in the community, despite having no known gang or cartel links.

The Trump administration earlier this month declared the United States is in an ‘armed conflict’ with drug cartels amid recent strikes on boats in the Carribean trying to cross into US waters.

‘The President determined that the United States is in a non-international armed conflict with these designated terrorist organizations,’ a memo seen by AP states.
