Missouri AG Moves to Oust Ray County Prosecutor Over Explosive Allegations of Affairs with Defense Attorney, Defendants — Including Illegal Alien Investigated for Felony Sex Crimes

Just when you think the lawlessness and corruption in our justice system can’t get any worse.

Missouri Attorney General Catherine L. Hanaway has filed a petition for a writ of quo warranto to remove Ray County Prosecutor Camille Johnston from office after explosive revelations of repeated intimate and romantic relationships with criminal defense counsel and defendants including an illegal alien being prosecuted for sexual assault in her own jurisdiction.

According to the petition, Johnston allegedly engaged in undisclosed romantic relationships with individuals whose criminal cases intersected with the Ray County Prosecutor’s Office, including a defense attorney who represented criminal defendants in cases prosecuted by her office.

The Attorney General alleges Johnston failed to recuse herself or seek the appointment of a special prosecutor despite what the filing describes as obvious conflicts of interest.

The petition further alleges Johnston maintained another romantic relationship with an individual charged with domestic violence and retaliated against a staff member who became aware of the relationship. The filing claims Johnston failed to disclose the alleged conflict to victims, court personnel, or her office until a judge ultimately disqualified her from the case.

Among the most serious allegations is the Attorney General’s claim that Johnston had a prior intimate relationship with a man identified in the petition as J.G., who was allegedly under investigation for felony sexual offenses.

The filing alleges Johnston knew of the investigation, failed to recuse herself, withheld information regarding his whereabouts, assisted him after he left Ray County, and later vacationed with him.

Trump Says U.S. Election System Is ‘Broken’ and ‘Vulnerable’ After DHS Review Found Noncitizens on Voter Rolls

President Donald Trump said Thursday that a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) review found roughly 278,000 noncitizens registered to vote in federal elections, arguing the findings expose major weaknesses in the U.S. election system.

Speaking during a primetime speech to address foreign efforts to influence U.S. elections, Trump said the DHS compared state voter registration lists with public records and identified about 278,000 noncitizens on voter rolls. He claimed the figure is incomplete because several Democrat-led states did not provide their voter registration data.

“Since Democrat states refused to share their voter files, the real number is actually much higher than that. Yet, even this limited analysis found more than a quarter of a million foreigners illegally registered to vote,” Trump said.

Trump also claimed foreign governments have access to large amounts of U.S. voter data, warned that voting machines and ballot tabulation systems remain vulnerable to hacking and manipulation, and accused countries such as China of attempting to influence American elections.

“Put together, these disclosures reveal an election system so broken and so vulnerable that no one can possibly defend it. It is not defensible. Hundreds of millions of U.S. voter files are in the hands of foreign governments,” Trump added. “Our machines and ballot counting systems are exposed to hacking, manipulation and corruption. China and other countries have been trying to meddle in our elections.”

Trump said that voter rolls still contain hundreds of thousands of noncitizens and deceased individuals.

“Evidence of fraud has been buried. Hundreds of thousands of noncitizens and dead people are listed and active on the voter rolls,” Trump continued. “And yet, we still have elections with no voter ID, no proof of citizenship, and tens of millions of ballots floating aimlessly through the mail.”

Trump Administration Announces Investigation of 75 Truck Driver Schools Suspected of Helping Non-Citizens Obtain CDLs

The Department of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) have announced an investigation into at 75 entry-level truck driver Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) schools across the country suspected of fraudulently helping non-citizen drivers qualify.

Safety experts estimate that as many as 130,000 illegal-alien truck drivers may be operating in the United States, with tens of thousands believed to have obtained licenses through illegitimate means.

The Gateway Pundit has reported on the deadly consequences of illegal alien truckers.

Fox News’ Bill Melugin reports, “NEW: DHS and DOT have announced they’ve identified 75 entry level truck driver CDL schools across the US that are suspected of fraudulently helping non-citizen drivers qualify for CDLs, and the agencies are partnering to investigate them, with HSI and DOT already visiting some of the schools to probe them.”

“Some of the schools are suspected of falsifying training records, providing improper certifications, and failing to properly train the drivers.”

Statements via DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin noted, “Too many American lives have been lost in completely avoidable accidents because illegal aliens have been granted commercial driver’s licenses to drive trucks and 18-wheelers on America’s roadways.”

“DHS law enforcement is partnering with the Department of Transportation to eliminate CDL fraud, strengthen the integrity of the CDL system, and investigate commercial driver’s license schools throughout the country. This is a whole of government approach, to keep America’s roads safe.”

Banks Have Been Lending to Illegal Aliens. The Trump Administration Just Stepped In.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, along with two other federal regulators, has officially issued new guidance to banks recommending that they stop issuing loans to illegal aliens, a practice that is legal under current law. Regulators also pushed financial institutions to reconsider providing credit cards and mortgages to illegal aliens.

The Director of the National Economic Council, Kevin Hassett, explained that American banks have been making “lots” of loans to illegal aliens, creating significant financial risk for lenders who may never recover the money they’ve loaned out if that alien is deported. He added that the measure is intended to increase financial stability and suggested it was prompted by a “surprising” finding by federal regulators, presumably regarding the volume of loans being issued to individuals without citizenship or legal immigration status.

“Why would loans even be going to illegal immigrants in the first place?” Hasset was asked on Fox News.

“Right, they shouldn’t have been going there in the first place, and the bottom line is that if a bank is making lots of loans to people that might be deported because they have a criminal record or whatever, then obviously that person is probably not going to pay back the loan,” Hassett replied. “And so we view this as a financial stability measure that makes a great deal of sense. And it’s, I guess, the interesting thing is that the regulators felt they had to issue that guidance, presumably because of something they discovered that was surprising.”

DSA’s New Plan: Abolish Senate, Amnesty for Illegals — Deliver Madison’s “Tyranny”

Are the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) trying to visit tyranny on the United States? Evaluating their new platform, you’d have to say yes if heeding a warning from James Madison, “father of the Constitution.” He famously said in The Federalist, No. 47:

The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.

This, too, is essentially what the DSA’s new platform would establish. As Fox News reported Friday:

According to a source familiar with the DSA’s planning, the organization plans to roll out an update next week to its long-term vision for a U.S. policy platform. The update includes eliminating the U.S. Senate and replacing the president and the Supreme Court with an executive branch and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress.

So to be clear, the DSA’s platform would undermine the Constitution’s prescribed balance of powers. It would enable a one-chamber Congress (no Senate) to appoint a president and judges who are rubber stamps for its agenda.

Under our current system, the president is, of course, chosen by the people. He then can nominate judges, who subsequently must be confirmed by citizen-elected senators before taking the bench. Moreover, Congress is already the most powerful branch, as the House can impeach the president and judges. The Senate can then vote to convict, giving the legislature capacity to remove such officials from office. The other two branches have no such power over Congress.

But the DSA would expand this power precipitously. Its plan would, in a de facto sense, place “all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary” in Congress’ hands. And it’s irrelevant that those “hands” are “elective” (as Congress is), as Madison stressed.

Many would point out that this moves us closer to a parliamentary system, as exists in Britain and Canada. Others would take an even darker view. As a top Yahoo!news commenter writes, responding to the Fox article:

Once you get this enacted, and the socialists are in power, they will NEVER relinquish it. Ever.

A single chamber “congress” will be, by definition, a one party body that will rubber stamp policies of the party.

The model for this is the Soviet Union.

The respondent is alluding to the USSR’s Politburo (Political Bureau), the fallen communist empire’s top decision-making body.

Florida Judge Frees Illegal Migrant Plane Hijacker Awaiting Deportation

A Clinton-appointed U.S. District Judge in Florida ordered the immediate release of Maikel Guerra Morales, an illegal migrant convicted for the 2003 hijacking of a passenger plane, and set him free on American streets.

Prior to his release, Guerra Morales was under U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, pending deportation proceedings, after he finished serving his 22-year prison sentence in December.

Maikel Guerra Morales is one of six Cuban nationals convicted in December 2003 for their role in the March 19, 2003, hijacking of a commercial flight in Nueva Gerona, Cuba. At the time, witnesses reportedly testified that the hijackers broke into the cockpit door and held a knife to the pilot’s throat — demanding that he redirect the 37-passenger plane to land in Key West, Florida.

Guerra Morales served a 22-year prison sentence on charges of aircraft piracy and conspiracy to interfere with a flight crew. The Cuban national finished serving his sentence in December 2025, after which he was placed under ICE custody to undergo deportation proceedings.

The New York Post reported on Monday that Florida Judge John E. Steele ordered the Cuban national’s release under supervision from ICE custody on July 8. Judge Steele was appointed to his position during the Democrat administration of former President Bill Clinton.

The New York Post reported that ICE intended to deport Guerra Morales to Mexico but, according to court documents, he “might end up directly in Cuba.” Following his release, he is reportedly believed to be living in Miami.

Guerra Morales briefly spoke with Telemundo after the judge ordered his release and affirmed, “If the judge didn’t get tough, ICE wouldn’t have let me go.” He asserted to Telemundo that he spent 33 days at the immigration detention center in Florida dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” and was subsequently transferred to the Krome Processing Center in South Florida. According to Telemundo, Guerra Morales was released wearing an electronic ankle bracelet.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a statement on Tuesday condemning the Judge Steele-ordered release of the criminal illegal alien.

“This activist judge forced ICE to release a criminal illegal alien who was convicted and sentenced to 22 years for hijacking a plane back into American communities,” Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said. “This is yet another example of an activist judge trying to thwart President Trump’s mandate from the American people to remove criminal illegal aliens from our country.”

“Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, DHS will continue to fight for the detention and removal of criminal illegal aliens who have no right to be in our country,” Bis added.

DHS noted that a Department of Justice (DOJ) Immigration Judge issued a final order for the removal of Maikel Guerra Morales on March 1, 2023 — acknowledging that ICE took custody of the Cuban national at the end of his prison sentence on December 2025.

Reports published in 2003 identified Maikel Guerra Morales as the brother of the hijacking’s alleged ringleader, Alexis Norniella Morales. The siblings testified that “everyone on board was in on the plot, with five knives used only as props.”

Maine ICE Shooting Witness Confirms Agents Issued Several Warnings Before “Car Was Put into Drive and Was Trying to Hit the ICE Officer”

A witness to the ICE-involved shooting in Maine on Monday completely obliterated the anti-ICE narrative being pushed by Democrats and the left-wing media by confirming the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the incident.  

26-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero of Colombia attempted to run over ICE agents during a targeted enforcement operation on Monday morning, and he was fatally shot, The Gateway Pundit reported.

The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement, “ICE was conducting targeted surveillance on the last known address of an illegal alien with a final order of removal. An illegal alien departed the residence in a vehicle.”

“ICE law enforcement attempted to conduct a vehicle stop. The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and fearing for public safety an officer discharged his weapon,” the statement continued.

While the left claims that the driver was an innocent shot by masked, unidentified men in unmarked vehicles and not the intended target of the ICE operations, 18-year-old Lucas Scott, a resident of Wells, Maine, told the Press Herald on Monday, the exact same story that DHS gave.

Even if Guerrero wasn’t the original target of the operation, it’s the same story every time: If someone attempts to ram an ICE agent with their vehicle, they will likely be shot at.

ICE Arrests Illegal Alien Whose Criminal Record Dates Back 35 Years

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested an illegal alien in Miami-Dade County, Florida, whose criminal record dates back to 1991, Breitbart News has learned.

On June 11, ICE agents in Miami arrested 58-year-old illegal alien Elias Cardoza-Torres of Cuba, who has been convicted of selling heroin, burglary, and vehicle theft, among other crimes.

“ICE works closely with our law enforcement partners to remove criminal illegal aliens from our communities,” Acting ICE Director David Venturella said in a statement.

According to Venturella, Cardoza-Torres entered the United States in 1989 as a parolee and never adjusted his status to secure a green card. In November 1991, he was convicted of felony cocaine possession and in August 1997, he was convicted of burglary.

In October 1999, Cardoza-Torres was convicted of selling heroin. The following year, in April 2000, a federal immigration judge ordered him deported from the United States but he remained in the country for more than 26 years.

“We’re talking about an individual who completely disregarded our immigration laws and went on to ignore our criminal laws, as well,” Venturella said. “Fortunately, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office has turned him over to ICE custody, where he’ll remain pending removal.”

In more recent years, Cardoza-Torres was convicted of vehicle theft, drug possession, cocaine possession, and felony weapons offenses.

Sick Man-Child: Tim Walz Bringing National Guard Back from DC After Rubio Deports Child Rapist Walz Pardoned

Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz called his state’s National Guard back from Washington, D.C., just as Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the termination of legal status and subsequent deportation of a Laotian convicted sex offender pardoned by the governor.

NPR reported Walz’s decision on Saturday, saying he had sent the guard to the nation’s capital ahead of celebrations for the Fourth of July.

President Donald Trump had already increased the guard’s activities there in an effort to reduce crime beginning last August, but the number of guardsman has increased to over 5,000 in the last month, costing $3 million a day.

Walz was clear that the Minnesota guard were to be used for the event only. Under Title 32 of the U.S. Code, despite being federally funded, guardsmen are under their governor’s control.

Minnesota was not alone as states like Michigan, Maryland, Hawaii, North Carolina, and Kentucky — all under Democratic governors — also sent guardsmen.

For Walz, the number was around 100 scheduled to be in D.C. until July 23, but he recalled them after NPR said he concluded they were being sent to patrol areas not relevant to their initial task.

The timing cannot be overlooked.
