Report: ICE Deports Repressive Cuban Judge Formerly on Biden’s ‘Humanitarian Parole’

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Thursday deported Melody González Pedraza, a Cuban communist judge who entered the U.S. through the Biden administration’s “humanitarian parole” program, Martí Noticias reported.

González Pedraza reportedly traveled from Havana to Tampa, Florida, in late May 2024 after the administration of former President Joe Biden provided her with a U.S. flight authorization as part of the now-extinct “Humanitarian Parole” program. The initiative, launched by former President Joe Biden in January 2023, allowed up to 30,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to legally stay and work in the United States for a period of “up to two years.”

Airport authorities in Tampa reportedly refused to grant her entry due to her extensive past as a communist regime official. In response, González Pedraza requested U.S. political asylum. Martí Noticias detailed that González Pedraza lost her U.S. asylum case on May 21, 2025, and chose not to appeal the ruling issued by an immigration judge in Pompano Beach, Florida. Unnamed sources told the outlet that complaints presented by Cuban exiles against González Pedraza were key to the prosecution and subsequent deportation of the communist judge.

The Foundation for Human Rights in Cuba (FHRC), a non-government organization, included González Pedraza on its list of known Castro regime representatives. The communist judge is known for having issued excessive prison sentences to peaceful Cuban protesters and dissidents.

Days before traveling to Florida, she reportedly sentenced a group of four young Cuban men — all below the age of 30 — to four years in prison on dubious “assault” charges against local state security officials in the municipality of Encrucijada, Villa Clara. Families of the four men denounced at the time that their relatives were unjustly convicted in a sham trial in which the Castro regime did not present neither evidence nor witnesses that could corroborate the accusations.

Photo Released of 29-Year-Old Dallas ICE Shooter — Agents Ransack His Bedroom and Uncover Handwritten “Terror Notes” Plotting to Kill ICE Employees

The Biden regime and its media allies love to cry “domestic terrorism” when it comes to parents at school board meetings or conservative Americans peacefully protesting at the Capitol.

But when the threat is directed at law enforcement heroes on the front lines of immigration enforcement, the very men and women who risk their lives to protect our borders, silence reigns.

Federal authorities have now confirmed that the 29-year-old man who opened fire on a Dallas ICE facility was not some random “lone wolf” but a premeditated domestic terrorist who left behind chilling handwritten terror notes, explicitly plotting to murder ICE agents and spread fear among federal employees tasked with enforcing immigration law.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Patel has released several new pieces of evidence that blow up this ridiculous claim. Included in the evidence is a chilling note written by Jahn, which says, “Hopefully this will give ICE agents real terror, to think, ‘is there a sniper with AP rounds on that roof?”

@FBIDallas and FBI HQ have been working 24/7 to seize devices, exploit data, and process writings obtained on location and in the subject’s person/residence/bedroom. This @FBI is committed to providing timely updates, as promised:

– The perp downloaded a document titled “Dallas County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management” containing a list of DHS facilities.
– He conducted multiple searches of ballistics and the “Charlie Kirk Shot Video” between 9/23-9/24.
-Between 8/19-8/24, he searched apps that tracked the presence of ICE agents.
– One of the handwritten notes recovered read, “Hopefully this will give ICE agents real terror, to think, ‘is there a sniper with AP rounds on that roof?”
– Further accumulated evidence to this point indicates a high degree of pre-attack planning.

The FBI will provide further updates when able.

At a Thursday news conference, Dallas FBI Special Agent in Charge Joseph Rothrock revealed what investigators uncovered after agents tore through the Oklahoma home of shooter Joshua Jahn.

Apple, Google Refuse To Suspend ICE-Tracking Apps Used By Dallas Shooter

In a chilling social media post, FBI Director Kash Patel described how Wednesday’s sniper at a Dallas ICE facility gathered intelligence online for the ambush that left one ICE detainee dead and two seriously injured. Authorities say suspected killer Joshua Jahn, 29, committed suicide after the ambush.

While retracing Jahn’s movements and writings, the FBI found he reviewed a document that listed Dallas DHS locations, and he “searched apps that tracked the presence of ICE agents.” Marcos Charles, the ICE executive associate director for enforcement and removal operations, confirmed the gunman utilized these apps to carry out the attack. In some cases, illegal immigrants use the apps so they can give ICE the slip. But in this new use, a left-wing radical employed the apps for the even more nefarious purpose of violence and terror, a reality underscored in a letter the FBI says Jahn left.

“Hopefully this will give ICE agents real terror, to think, ‘is there a sniper with [armor piercing] rounds on that roof?” a handwritten note read. The wording of Patel’s post indicated there could be more notes.

Anti-ICE shooter Joshua Jahn used Nazi battle rifle in deadly Dallas attack: experts

The anti-ICE gunman who killed one person and wounded two others at a Dallas ICE facility appears to have used a variant of a Nazi battle rifle in the attack, multiple firearms experts tell The Post.

Joshua Jahn, 29, used an antique 8mm Mauser rifle when he opened fire on a bus that was unloading at the federal building, the FBI confirmed on Thursday.

Authorities say he obtained the rifle in August.

The 8mm Mauser is a bolt-action rifle originally developed in Germany in the late 1800s and served as one of the main weapons used by Berlin in both World Wars.

FBI Releases Photo Showing Anti-ICE Messages on Bullet Casings Engraved by Dallas ICE Shooter Identified as 29-Year-Old Joshua Jahn

The radical left strikes again.

Two people are dead, including the shooter, in a shooting at a Dallas ICE facility as an act of targeted violence, the FBI said on Wednesday.

Among the deceased are two detainees, and a third is in critical condition.

The shooter, identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Joshua Jahn fired at the ICE building from a nearby rooftop and ended up killing two detainees.

No ICE agents were injured.

The Daily Mail reported:

A sniper who killed at least two migrants and wounded several others in a shooting at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility has been identified as Joshua Jahn, 29, the Daily Mail can reveal.

The bloodbath unfolded at the facility in the Texas city shortly after 7am CT Wednesday morning, when the gunman targeted migrants on an unmarked transport van before killing himself.

Multiple law enforcement sources confirmed the identity of the gunman as Jahn, and ICE said in a statement that the sniper ‘fired indiscriminately’.

The victims were ICE detainees, and no law enforcement were injured in the shooting.

Officials said at a press conference on Wednesday morning that bullets found by the shooter’s body were engraved with ‘anti-ICE messages’, and FBI Director Kash Patel shared an image of the bullets reading: ‘Anti-ICE.’

The FBI confirmed the shooting was an act of targeted violence.

Dallas Teacher Rearrested on TERRORISM Charge After July 4th Shooting at ICE Facility

A Dallas teacher previously accused of tampering with evidence tied to a July 4 attack outside the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado has been rearrested, this time with an additional terrorism-related charge. 

Court and jail records indicate that his bond conditions, including internet monitoring, were a key factor in his return to custody.

The suspect, 32-year-old Dario Sanchez, was first arrested on July 15 after allegedly deleting messages on Signal and Discord that investigators say were linked to group chats planning an “operation” at the detention center. 

His initial bond was set at $5 million but was later reduced to $150,000. Sanchez was indicted on August 28, released on bond the following day, and publicly claimed he was “wrongfully arrested.”

On Monday, he was rearrested for the same tampering charge, this time with a $1 million bond and an additional allegation of hindering the prosecution of terrorism. 

Court documents show the escalation was tied to his internet search history, which was monitored under his bond conditions.

The filings state that Sanchez conducted searches “best characterized as explosive construction internet queries.” 

Examples include how to melt plastic to make molds, how to modify radio-controlled transmitters, and whether Nintendo Game Boy batteries could serve as power sources for triggering devices. 

One search specifically asked whether a 900 mAh Game Boy battery could be used in a trigger system. Another focused on whether “aluminite” could be used in explosives.

When questioned about the searches by his bond officer, Sanchez claimed he was experimenting with hobbies, including building anime figure molds, tinkering with plastic model cars, and replacing a battery in his old Game Boy. 

His attorney, Frank Sellers, argued that prosecutors were criminalizing normal behavior. “He’s stuck at home trying to find a hobby, something to tinker with,” Sellers told KERA News. 

“And instead of allowing a person to live their lives, Johnson County has thrown him in jail for what George Orwell would call ‘thought crime.’”

Court records show that Sanchez was required to install GPS monitoring and remote surveillance software on his devices within seven days of release.

Trump To Sign EO Targeting ‘Domestic Terror Networks’ After “Despicable” Attack At Dallas ICE Facility

Civil terrorism expert Jason Curtis Anderson explains the broader, alarming trend of left-wing radicals becoming activated, which reflects a form of nihilistic accelerationism.

The trend here is alarming. Anderson explains:

Earlier today, Joshua Jahn, the shooter at the Dallas ICE facility, shot three people before taking his own life.

This incident reflects what many call nihilistic accelerationism—a rising phenomenon in domestic extremism that mirrors the martyrdom embraced by jihadist terrorists. These are individuals who feel so driven by their extremist beliefs that they are willing both to kill and to die for their cause.

Many conversations must take place, and much work remains to be done, but none of it can begin until Democrats acknowledge that far-left extremism exists, and recognize the importance of toning down political rhetoric.

This is not the first time left-wing extremists have attempted to assassinate ICE officers, a recurring theme the left has used to rally voters against the current administration.

The federal government has significant catching up to do, and an interagency approach will be necessary to address the problem.

Far-left extremism extends far beyond groups like Antifa. There is an entire revolutionary (marxist) ecosystem of interconnected entities: billion-dollar progressive NGOs, anarchist networks, political organizations such as the DSA, foreign influence operations like the Singham network, gaming platforms, Discord servers and reddit threads, the dark web, and even civil-rights organizations staffed with “movement lawyers” fully dedicated to waging war against the West until it collapses.

Until the government addresses the root causes, it will only be treating the symptoms. Experts must be brought in to dismantle this machine before it’s too late.

As soon as we have more government leaders with the same pro-Luigi worldview as the DSA, Hasan Piker, and Taylor Lorenz, political assassination will become normalized in the same way that we decriminalized crime in major cities.

Mother of Alleged Sniper Who Attacked Dallas ICE Criticized Republicans for Not Supporting Gun Control

The mother of the 29-year-old alleged sniper who opened fire on Dallas ICE Wednesday morning “posted a series of anti-gun rants against Republicans” years ago, according to the New York Post.

Breitbart News noted that the shooting occurred Wednesday morning, around 6:40 a.m., leaving one victim dead and two injured.

The alleged shooter, the aforementioned 29-year-old, took his own life.

On Wednesday afternoon, the New York Post reported that the 29-year-old’s mother allegedly “posted a series of anti-gun rants on Facebook aimed at Republican lawmakers just a few years ago.”

The Post pointed to a Facebook post the 29-year-old’s mother allegedly posted days after the May 24, 2022 Uvalde school shooting, blasting the lack of gun control support from Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and Sens. Ted Cruz (R) and John Cornyn (R).

She allegedly wrote: “May be you be reminded of the deaths every time you spend that precious blood money you have received from the gun lobby. Hope you think of it 100% when you attend the NRA meeting in a few days.”

Obama Hack’s Attempt to Embarrass JD Vance Over His Take on Dallas ICE Shooting Backfires When VP Points Out an Inconvenient Fact : “What, Precisely, Did I Get Wrong, Dipsh*t?”

Yet another leftist has learned the hard way that Vice-President JD Vance has a social media fastball almost as powerful as President Trump’s after trying to dunk on him over the Dallas ICE shooting.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, an individual killed two migrants and wounded up to four in a shooting Wednesday morning at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. The shooter, identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Jahn fired at the ICE building from a nearby rooftop. No ICE agents were injured.

Immediately following the shooting (and before the suspect was identified), Vance took to X to give his thoughts on what happened.

“The obsessive attack on law enforcement, particularly ICE, must stop,” he wrote. “I’m praying for everyone hurt in this attack and for their families.”

Following the revelation of the ICE detainees being killed, former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau decided this would be a perfect time to dunk on Vance for supposedly getting his facts wrong. Favreau apparently thought a MAGA Republican was targeting migrants.

“The Vice President is not a reliable source of information,” Favreau whined. “This is now the fifth or sixth time he’s posted a political take contradicted by facts from his own law enforcement agencies.”

Vance did not let this garbage go unanswered, however. He fired back at Favreau, pointing out a basic inconvenient fact: the gunman had anti-ICE messaging on the bullets used.

This proves the attack was a product of left-wing violence targeted at immigration enforcement. Thus, Vance was right to begin with.

“The gunman had anti-ICE messaging carved on the bullets he used. What, precisely, did I get wrong, dipsh*t?” Vance asked.

California Bans Most Law Enforcement, Including Federal Agents, From Wearing Masks

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Saturday signed a bill that would prohibit most law enforcement officers—including federal agents—from wearing masks during official operations in the state.

The first-of-its-kind law, which would go into effect in January 2026, was immediately criticized by Trump administration officials, who have instructed federal agents to ignore it. That sets the stage for a showdown in court.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents—who are most involved in carrying out President Donald Trump’s deportation operations—have taken to wearing masks while carrying out their jobs.

During the Sept. 20 bill-signing event, Newsom said the state was “pushing back against the authoritarian tendencies in action this administration.”

“The impact of these policies all across this city, our state, and nation are terrifying,” Newsom said. “It’s like a dystopian sci-fi movie. Unmarked cars, people in masks, people quite literally disappearing. No due process, no rights in a democracy where we have rights.”

The administration has defended the use of masking by federal agents, who officials say are facing increased threats and violence related to their work.
