OUTRAGE: Biden Activist Judge Releases MS-13 Killer Known as “The Witch” — Gangster Was Convicted of Forcing Victim to His Knees and Shooting Him in Chest, Back, and Face

Another dangerous MS-13 gang member has been released onto American streets by a Biden-appointed federal judge in California.

US District Judge Jinsook Ohta ordered the immediate release of 35-year-old David Antonio Aviles Perez, a Salvadoran illegal alien and convicted MS-13 killer known as “La Bruja,” or “The Witch,” the New York Post reported.

Ohta was nominated by former President Joe Biden in September 2021 and confirmed by the Democrat-controlled Senate later that year.

Aviles Perez entered the United States in December 2013 and remained in the country illegally, according to court records. ICE finally captured him in San Diego on March 26, 2026.

At the time, Aviles Perez was wanted on an international warrant after being convicted in absentia of aggravated murder in El Salvador.

This was no minor offender.

According to El Salvador’s Attorney General’s Office, Aviles Perez and fellow MS-13 member Ismael Enrique Mendoza Flores hunted down a man in La Unión in July 2014.

BELGIUM NARCO-DYSTOPIA: Prosecutor in Capital Brussels Is Lashing Out at the Lack of Resources to Fight Violent Drug Gangs

Capital of Belgium and the European Union, home of NATO headquarters, Brussels has a festering drug problem.

We have been reporting here on TGP how Belgium has slowly become a narco-state.

And Brussels’ top prosecutor is hitting out at the unsustainable situation.

Julien Moinil says ‘he demanded more resources’ to battle drug-related issues that have become a scourge in the Belgian capital.

He complained today that his demands were ignored.

As he addressed a new series of shootings, he ranted: ‘I don’t see a reaction — no concrete help’.

Politico reported:

“The Belgian capital witnessed a recent wave of violence across various municipalities, including an attack on a police station in Anderlecht and multiple shootings in Molenbeek and Saint-Gilles.

‘As you can see, this hellish streak, which has been going on for several years, continues’, Moinil said, adding that Brussels has already seen 69 gun-related incidents in 2026, against the 102 that took place in 2025.

The incidents reported in Saint-Gilles were linked to a fight between two drug-trafficking gangs. Still, innocent citizens were caught in the crossfire, the prosecutor said: In one attack, clients of a pizzeria had to seek cover from the flying bullets.”

The rape gang trial the UK establishment doesn’t want you to know about

The trial of six members of a Pakistani ‘grooming gang’ has quietly restarted in Manchester. The retrial hasn’t made the headlines, and looking at the sordid details of the case, it’s clear the British establishment wants to keep it that way.

The six suspects were alleged members of the Rochdale grooming gang – a group of Muslim men, predominantly Pakistani, who trafficked, sexually abused, and raped underage white British girls in the northern English town between the 1980s and 2010s. More than 75 men have been charged and 53 convicted since Greater Manchester Police began investigating the gang in 2010.

What are the men accused of?

The suspects have been charged with 46 counts of rape, sexual assault, and ‘assault by penetration’, with two of the men facing more than a dozen charges each.

  • Tahrir Rashid, 53, 12 counts of rape, 3 counts of indecent assault, 1 count of assault by penetration
  • Mohammed Saleem, 46, 8 counts of rape
  • Sucklane Shah, 46, 2 counts of rape
  • Itfaq Hussain, 45, 3 counts of rape
  • Arshad Mohammed, 55, 5 counts of rape
  • Amjad Mahmood, 53, 12 counts of rape, 2 counts of indecency with a child, 1 count of indecent assault, 2 counts of assault by penetration

All of the suspects’ alleged offenses took place between 2003 and 2008, and involved two girls who were as young as 13 when they were “passed around” between the gang, according to prosecutors. Rashid, the alleged ringleader, is also accused of raping a 12-year-old girl in the 1980s.

Nevada man pleads guilty to providing 140 firearms to drug trafficking organizations in Mexico

From April 1, 2020, to September 17, 2025, Osorio conspired with co-defendants to purchase firearms, magazines and ammunition on behalf of people affiliated with drug trafficking organizations in Mexico.

The 140 firearms purchased by Osorio included multiple large-caliber and long-range firearms.

Osorio also admitted to harboring people who unlawfully resided in the United States to employ them at a Nevada mining company, according to the DOJ.

“Trafficking military-style firearms and ammunition to drug trafficking organizations in Mexico fuels violence, strengthens criminal networks and threatens communities on both sides of the border,” said Jonathan Sherwin, Deputy Special Agent in Charge for Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) Las Vegas.

“In the world of organized crime and drug trafficking, guns and drugs go hand-in-hand,” said David S. Olesky, Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration Los Angeles Field Division, which also covers Nevada.

“Firearms trafficking networks feed the violent cartels that terrorize border communities and pump illicit drugs into our neighborhoods,” said First Assistant United States Attorney Sigal Chattah for the District of Nevada. “By cutting off this supply chain and holding this defendant accountable, we are directly disrupting the operational capabilities of these dangerous criminal organizations.”

Momma’s boy gangbanger who was driven to NYC shooting by cop mom, ex-con dad plotted hit while in court: DA

Chase Lackard, 20, faced a judge on a 2024 gun rap just 20 minutes before the alleged June 29 drive-by gang shooting – with help from his mom, disgraced Mount Vernon Deputy Police Commissioner Jennifer Lackard, and drug-dealing dad James Lackard, according to prosecutors.

“He’s captured on cameras running into this courthouse,” Bronx Assistant District Attorney Keturah Ladd told the judge. “He had a court date and a court appearance on the third floor of this building.”

Momma’s boy Chase Lackard, a reputed member of the “Slutty Gang,” was ordered held without bail.

Jennifer Lackard, 49, a former member of Bronx Community Board 9, was hired in 2020 to run the suburban department’s Wellness Unit, and was fired from the job after her arrest.

Also named in the Bronx indictment is her drug-dealing ex, James Lackard, who served 10 years in federal prison for peddling heroin in North Carolina — but remains on the lam.

According to sources and news reports, Jennifer Lackard co-founded and ran a North Carolina nonprofit with her ex-con hubby, which was shut down after James Lackard’s conviction.

Jennifer Lackard moved north and joined the Bronx community board and started a new nonprofit in the borough, Re-Entry Link LLC, before she was hired to the newly created position by Mount Vernon Mayor Shawyn Patterson-Howard.

Tragic: Ex-NYPD Officer’s Innocent 12-year-old Son Gunned Down Outside Bodega in Mamdani’s Gang-Invested New York

On Saturday, 12-year-old Jacob Freytes, the son of a retired NYPD sergeant, jumped on his bike and set out for a local store to purchase a ball, something that happens thousands of times a day for children across the country.

But in Mamdani’s New York, a simple right of passage turned tragic.

Freytes, who was struck by a stray bullet during the senseless shootout in a gang-infested area of The Bronx.

He was rushed to an area hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Per The New York Post:

The 12-year-old son of a cop was fatally gunned down by random shots fired into a crowd outside a Bronx bodega Saturday — where the youngster was seen on heartbreaking video staggering inside clutching his injured chest before collapsing onto the floor.

The gunfire erupted after a brawl broke out on Elliot Place near the Grand Concourse at about 5:30 p.m., injuring two people and killing the 12-year-old who was an innocent bystander, police said.

The young boy had stopped by the Wanda Deli Grocery on Elliot Place to purchase a ball when he was struck by the stray bullet, the United Bodegas of America said.

Two others were injured and are in stable condition.

Haiti Descends Deeper Into Chaos as Gang Terror Displaces Millions and Children Are Recruited Into Violence

Haiti’s security and humanitarian crisis continues to spiral, with heavily armed gangs controlling most of the capital, expanding into new regions, and leaving millions of Haitians trapped between violence, hunger, and institutional collapse.

The severity of the crisis was underscored this week by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz, who briefed the U.N. Security Council after visiting Haiti. Waltz described his trip as one marked by “painful anecdotes,” recounting scenes that illustrate the extraordinary brutality facing ordinary Haitians every day.

A Nation Held Hostage by Criminal Gangs

According to the United Nations, armed gangs now control approximately 85 percent of the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area and continue expanding into other regions, including Artibonite and Centre.

The criminal organizations have taken over major highways, neighborhoods, ports, fuel terminals, and key transportation corridors, severely restricting the movement of people, humanitarian aid, and commercial goods.

Beyond territorial control, many gangs have evolved into parallel governing structures, imposing their own rules, collecting extortion payments, controlling food distribution, and financing their operations through kidnappings, arms trafficking, and organized crime.

The result has been the near-collapse of state authority across large portions of the country.

Horrific Stories From the Ground

Speaking before the U.N. Security Council, Ambassador Waltz shared several stories that captured the human cost of Haiti’s crisis.

One volunteer serving with Haiti’s Gang Suppression Force reportedly surrendered himself after gang members kidnapped his family. After securing their release, he was executed publicly by the gang as a warning to others.

In another incident, Haitian police officers traveling in an armored vehicle became trapped after their vehicle was immobilized. Gang members surrounded the officers, set the vehicle on fire, and killed them in an exceptionally brutal attack.

Perhaps most disturbing was the story of an 8-year-old boy who had been systematically groomed by gang members. According to Waltz, the child had been taught to kill dogs as preparation for future acts of violence before eventually being rescued by security forces.

The ambassador warned that many other children remain under gang control.

Children Increasingly Drawn Into Organized Crime

International organizations have expressed growing alarm over the recruitment of children by Haiti’s criminal organizations.

U.N. agencies estimate that children may now comprise up to half of the membership of some gangs, with minors being recruited as lookouts, couriers, combatants, and participants in violent crimes.

Gang leaders have also expanded their recruitment efforts through social media platforms, including TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram, where they glorify violence, display weapons, and portray themselves as revolutionary figures to attract vulnerable young people.

Humanitarian Catastrophe Continues to Worsen

The humanitarian consequences continue to mount.

According to the United Nations:

More than 2,300 people have been killed since the beginning of 2026.

More than 1,100 people have been injured.

A record 1.47 million Haitians have been displaced by gang violence.

Approximately 6.4 million people require humanitarian assistance, including food, clean water, medical care, and shelter.

Many neighborhoods have effectively become no-go zones where residents face constant threats of kidnapping, extortion, sexual violence, and forced displacement.

Republican Lawmakers Demand Action After Somali Gangs Open Fire in Minnesota Park

A shooting in a Minnesota park has spurred Republican legislators to call for a crackdown on Somali gang activity.

Crime Watch Minneapolis said that about 50 Somali youth were at Yancey Park in Edina when shots were fired on Wednesday night, according to Alpha News.

Residents reported hearing more than 20 gunshots. No one has been arrested. No injuries were reported.

Republican Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota said this latest incident is proof action is needed.

“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, if you won’t assimilate, then get the hell out of here,” Emmer said.

“First it was an estimated $9 billion in fraud, now it’s out-of-control violence. These Somali gangs have shot up high school graduations and assaulted players on opposing basketball teams with tire irons. It’s absolute madness, and something must be done,” he said.

Dr. Oz claims NY Medicaid program is being ripped off by Chinese crime syndicate

Federal Medicaid czar Dr. Mehmet Oz said New York’s overblown $110 billion spending on medical bills is sickening — as he claimed Chinese crime syndicates are ripping off the Empire State.

The TV doctor-turned-Trump administration official, blasted New York’s Medicaid program as rife with fraud in an interview Sunday as he outlined an alleged scheme that included millions of dollars in fraudulent medical bills.

“Social safety net programs are being defrauded. They’re being hurt oftentimes by foreign governments or foreign-run criminal syndicate organizations,” Oz, administrator of the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, said Sunday on 77 WABC ‘s the “Cats Roundtable” program.

Oz recently toured Flushing, Queens where a cluster of 64 social adult care centers operate — mostly serving ethnic Chinese and Korean senior citizens. Officials claim the center and pharmacies have generated massive amounts of questionable bills to Medicaid, a public insurance program intended to help the needy.

The social centers arguably shouldn’t be propped up by taxpayers, Oz said. The federal government covers more than half of Medicaid’s costs, with the state and local governments covering the rest.

CBC calls for more gun control after suspected gang shooting in Toronto

Two people were killed and five others were injured at Toronto’s Salsa on St. Clair Festival over the weekend. Hours later, shots were fired near Polson Pier, a ride share was carjacked with passengers inside, and the suspect struck pedestrians and vehicles while fleeing.

David Menzies and Sheila Gunn Reid reacted to the wild weekend in Toronto on Monday’s Rebel Roundup livestream.

“I started the stopwatch to see how quick it would be before the CBC and the Toronto Star trotted out the anti-gun advocates,” David said.

Sure enough, the CBC ran a headline that made no mention of bail reform or gang violence. “Advocates speak out against gun violence following troubling weekend of shootings,” it read.

Sheila was blunt about who was actually involved.

“These are illegal firearms,” she said. “Any gun control measure you force on the rest of us doesn’t touch these people at all. And in fact, it draws police resources away from the real bad guys.”

The Polson Pier suspect, Omar Abdul-Singate, 25, of Brampton, was charged with four counts of forcible confinement, discharging a firearm recklessly, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possessing a firearm while prohibited — meaning he was already under a firearms prohibition — robbery, dangerous operation causing bodily harm, and dangerous operation.

A second suspect remains at large.

Both hosts also took aim at how Toronto police characterized the St. Clair shooting on social media, where it was described as an “active shooter” situation. 

Former Toronto police officer Jay Bannister, now of Mad Lab Press, told David the term was misleading. “When I hear active shooter, I’m thinking someone is still out there with a gun, walking down the street shooting innocent people,” David said, relaying Bannister’s assessment.

“What we had was gangbangers shooting other gangbangers, and then they made their escape. That’s not an active shooter.”

Sheila agreed. “This is just the gang war using this street festival as a battleground,” she said.

David closed with a note on bail, saying he could not confirm whether Abdul-Singate had been released, but was confident the question was worth asking.

“That is way more problematic,” Sheila said, “than taking away firearms from legal, law-abiding Canadians.”
