Convicted Human Smuggler Who Owned Vehicle in 2022 Traffic Stop Admits to Hiring Kilmar Abrego Garcia for MULTIPLE Human Smuggling Operations

The Tennessee Star confirmed Tuesday that Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes—an already convicted human smuggler and repeat border violator—has admitted under immunity to hiring El Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego Garcia for a string of human trafficking operations across the United States.

The revelation follows a controversial 2022 Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) traffic stop where Abrego Garcia was caught transporting nine illegal immigrants through Tennessee without a license.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) pulled over Abrego-Garcia on November 30, 2022, for speeding and swerving. When troopers approached his vehicle, they were shocked to discover eight male passengers packed inside.

Initially claiming he was driving from St. Louis to his Maryland residence, he later said he was headed to another town for “construction work.”

All passengers gave the same address as Abrego-Garcia, yet there was no luggage in the vehicle—a red flag for human trafficking. The trooper noted $1,400 in cash on Abrego-Garcia, likely payment for smuggling, and an invalid Maryland driver’s license.

“He’s hauling these people for money,” one trooper said in the bodycam footage, obtained by Fox News Digital through a public records request.

When the trooper asked whose vehicle he was driving, Abrego-Garcia replied that it belonged to his “boss.”

Turns out, that so-called “boss” was none other than Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes—a convicted human trafficker. Reyes pleaded guilty to conspiring to smuggle illegal aliens across the country and was sentenced in 2020.  This bombshell was confirmed after The Tennessee Star got its hands on damning court documents.

Despite the overwhelming evidence — the cash, the fake Maryland driver’s license, the contradictory statements, the gang affiliation, and a pattern matching known trafficking operations — ICE failed to respond when contacted, according to Fox News.

After THP took Abrego-Garcia into custody, they contacted the FBI for guidance. In a move that defies logic, Joe Biden’s FBI ordered THP to release him.

OUTRAGEOUS: Lawless Biden Judge Orders Trump Administration to Admit Roughly 12,000 Potentially Dangerous ‘Refugees’ into America

Another black-robed tyrant has usurped President Trump’s lawful immigration authorities in a fit of anger and arrogance.

As the Associated Press reported, U.S. District Judge Jamal Whitehead, a Biden judge from Seattle, on Monday ordered the Trump administration to admit around 12,000 refugees into America under a court order partially barring the president’s attempts to suspend the nation’s refugee admissions program. At the same time, he ignored the possibility that these refugees could pose a threat to America.

“This Court will not entertain the Government’s result-oriented rewriting of a judicial order that clearly says what it says,” Whitehead wrote Monday. “The Government is free, of course, to seek further clarification from the Ninth Circuit.”

“But the Government is not free to disobey statutory and constitutional law — and the direct orders of this Court and the Ninth Circuit — while it seeks such clarification,” he added.

This means that American lives are now potentially in danger thanks to this rogue judge’s ruling.

The Gateway Pundit reported back in February that Whitehead blocked Trump’s attempts to stop the federal refugee resettlement program, which has been abused for years by Democrat administrations and refugees themselves.

In his ruling, Whitehead said that Trump’s actions were an “effective nullification of congressional will” in setting up the nation’s refugee admissions program.

“The president has substantial discretion … to suspend refugee admissions,” Whitehead stated. “But that authority is not limitless.”

In March, a three-judge panel for the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals blocked Whitehead’s February order that would have forced the Trump Administration to restart refugee admissions. Trump was allowed to continue with his pause on all new refugee admissions.

The administration was still required to process the approval of refugees before January 20. The ruling noted that Trump’s executive order had nothing to do with those refugees.

FBI Directs All Questions Regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Other Agencies

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is now referring all questions regarding the 2022 Tennessee Highway Patrol traffic stop of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, even though State News Foundation inquiries had nothing to do with either DHS or ICE.

As The Tennessee Star has reported, on the evening of November 30, 2022, Kilmar Abrego Garcia was stopped by the Tennessee Highway Patrol for driving erratically. Troopers suspected that the eight people in the SUV were illegal aliens and that Garcia, who was driving with an expired Maryland Driver’s License, may have been part of a Human Trafficking operation.

As has been widely reported the FBI either ordered or requested that Garcia and his SUV be released. There have been other reports DHS was contacted that night but declined to respond to the scene. So, the question remains, who on the federal level was involved in the decision.

There would have been more clarity on the matter were it not for the fact that the Tennessee Highway Department redacted parts of the police cam video that involved conversations with unnamed federal officials. Though the video confirms that Troopers on the scene strongly believed they had encountered a potentially illegal operation, they redacted the audio conversations Troopers had that night with federal law enforcement partners.

ICE Responds to Accusations of Illegal Raid: “WRONG!”

After Democrats accused ICE of raiding the wrong house and terrorizing a U.S. citizen family in Oklahoma, the Department of Homeland Security fired back, beginning their official statement on X with a blunt response: “Wrong.”

What actually happened was that ICE conducted a lawful, court-authorized search targeting a property long tied to a human smuggling network, not specific individuals. Surveillance conducted the day before the raid confirmed that a member of the Lima Lopez Transnational Criminal Organization was still paying utility bills at the home, which remained legally owned by an indicted smuggling suspect. The warrant, based on an 84-page affidavit, authorized the seizure of evidence regardless of who was present. As DHS stated, “This is an ongoing investigation, and we have not ruled out current occupants’ involvement in the smuggling ring.”

Federal agents executed the search warrant on April 24 at a single-family home in northwest Oklahoma City. According to DHS, the property had been used as a stash house for human and drug smuggling involving individuals from Guatemala, Mexico, Colombia, and China. When agents entered the home, they encountered a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Guatemala and her three daughters, the youngest of whom was 17. Although none of them were detained, DHS emphasized that the investigation is ongoing.

Local news outlet KOCO 5 confirmed that the house remains in the name of Cidia Marleny Lima Lopez, a key suspect in the smuggling ring, and that utility records showed members of the criminal organization were still linked to the property as of the day before the raid, “despite the fact that new residents had moved in.” DHS clarified that the warrant legally allowed agents to seize electronic devices and documents found in the home, regardless of the current occupants.

DHS Announces They Will Pay for Flights of Illegals Who Want to Self-Deport and Give Them a Stipend – Here is How Much Money This New Policy Will Save Taxpayers

The Department of Homeland Security has announced a creative way to ensure illegal aliens leave the country while saving taxpayers money.

As Fox News’s Bill Melugin reported this morning, the DHS announced it would start paying for the commercial flights of illegals who self-deport America. In addition, the government will also pay these illegals $1,000 extra once they are confirmed to have left the country.

To qualify, illegal immigrants must register on the CBP border app and file their notice to leave America. Moreover, illegal migrants who self-deport will be able to come back to America in the future, provided they use the legal channels.

Bill Melugin notes that the DHS told Fox News that this would result in tremendous savings for American taxpayers. Right now, it costs over $17,000 to detain, arrest, and deport someone from America.

But if an illegal accepts the offer of self-deportation, the self-removal flights and the stipend will cost only $4,500 per illegal. This is a savings of at least $12,500 for just one invader or 70% savings for the taxpayer alone.

Did You Notice What Was Missing From This NYT Piece About This Illegal Alien’s Heinous Crime?

This story is almost unbelievable. If you haven’t heard it, it’s likely due to the liberal media either ignoring the story or sanitizing it to the point where most would gloss over it. In New York City, an illegal alien was busted for raping a corpse on the subway. I’m not kidding. But, of course, the publication didn’t say the man was her illegally. He’s a ‘Brooklyn man’ in this warped narrative. Trump officials were quick to point out that a key fact was omitted from the piece (via NYT):

A Brooklyn man was arrested on Monday [April 28] after the police said he violated a corpse on an R train in a Manhattan subway station earlier this month. 

The man, whom police identified as Felix Rojas, 44, was charged with first-degree rape, more than two weeks after the event. He is expected to be arraigned later on Monday, according to a spokesman for the Manhattan district attorney. It was unclear whether he had a lawyer. 

A law enforcement official familiar with the case said a man, later identified by police as Mr. Rojas, entered an R train while it was at the Whitehall Street-South Ferry station in the financial district around 11 p.m. on April 9 and was on the train for about 45 minutes before noticing the unconscious man in the car. 

The man who died had boarded the train earlier that evening at about 8 p.m., the official said. A spokeswoman for the Police Department said Monday that he had died of natural causes. 

After seeing the man’s immobile body, Mr. Rojas rummaged through the dead man’s pockets and had sex with the body, according to an internal police document. Then, they said, he fled the train. 

The entire episode was caught on surveillance cameras in the car. There were no other passengers on board at the time.

WICKED: Far-Left Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs Gaslights Her Constituents as She Vetoes a Commonsense Bill Requiring Her to Follow Federal Immigration Laws

One of the most left-wing and wicked governors in America has decided she wants her state to remain a haven for criminal aliens.

Democrat Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, who ‘won’ her election under questionable circumstances, yesterday vetoed a commonsense bill passed by the Arizona State Legislature that would have required her to help follow federal immigration laws.

The bill in question, House Bill 2099, would have mandated the governor, attorney general, and every county, city, and town in Arizona to enforce and cooperate with all immigration orders, actions, and programs from the federal government.

Here is what Hobbs wrote in her veto message:

Today, I vetoed House Bill 2099. When I assumed the role of Governor, I pledged to uphold both the U.S. Constitution and the Arizona Constitution,” she wrote in her veto message.

I have worked productively with the federal government to secure our border, stopping fentanyl at our ports of entry through Task Force SAFE, disrupting cartel operations with Operation Desert Guardian, and working across all levels of government to keep communities safe with the Border Coordination Office.

I will continue to work with the federal government on true border security, but we should not force state officials to take marching orders from Washington, DC. My focus will always be on delivering real results for Arizonans.

We Don’t Need an Executive Order to Bar Illegals from Social Security—We Need a Government That Obeys the Law

In what universe does it make sense that the President of the United States has to sign an executive order to stop illegal aliens from receiving Social Security benefits? That’s not just an absurd headline—it’s a tragic indictment of how far this nation has strayed from the rule of law, common sense, and constitutional integrity.

Let’s get one thing straight: illegal immigrants are already barred from receiving Social Security benefits. Full stop. It’s enshrined in federal law, constitutional precedent, and the very fabric of what it means to be a sovereign nation. Yet here we are, once again watching a president step in with a pen to “reaffirm” what is already carved into stone.

Under Section 1611 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. § 1382c), individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States are categorically ineligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) explicitly excludes most non-citizens from federal means-tested public benefits. And let’s not forget 8 U.S.C. § 1611, which states unequivocally, “Notwithstanding any other provision of law…an alien who is not a qualified alien…is not eligible for any Federal public benefit.”

Translation: They’re already prohibited.

So why does Trump need to sign an executive order? Because we are no longer a nation governed by laws—we are a nation governed by selective enforcement, political cowardice, and bureaucratic betrayal.

While illegals exploit the system through loopholes crafted by activist judges and globalist legislators, hardworking Americans who’ve paid into Social Security their entire lives are being told the well is running dry. They’re mocked with headlines about “entitlement reform” and threatened with benefit cuts, while watching their tax dollars fund services for people who have no legal right to be here.

Let me say this plainly: illegal aliens should not be here. That’s the real issue—not whether they’re tapping into Social Security. The fact that we have to publicly debate whether to let foreign nationals steal from a system built by and for American workers is the very definition of national rot.

Illegal Alien Charged in Rape of Corpse on NYC Subway

An illegal alien has been arrested for raping a corpse in a New York City subway car, authorities say.

On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealed the immigration history of Felix Rojas, 44, who allegedly performed horrific sexual acts on the body of a man who died inside a Manhattan subway car last month.

Rojas was arrested on Sunday and charged with rape and grand larceny in connection with the attack, which unfolded on April 8.

That night, 37-year-old Jorge Gonzalez boarded an R train and bummed a cigarette off another passenger, surveillance footage shows.

Minutes later, Gonzalez lost consciousness and ultimately died from causes that remain unclear, although his estranged wife has reportedly said he suffered from cirrhosis tied to alcohol abuse.

Rojas approached Gonzalez approximately 30 minutes later and began rifling through his pockets.

The suspected thief then proceeded to methodically penetrate Gonzalez’s mouth and anus, repositioning the victim’s body multiple times and pausing when the car doors opened, prosecutors say.

“To make sure he had not missed anything when he searched the victim before sexually assaulting him, the defendant searched the person of the victim once more after he had penetrated him, going so far as to take off the victim’s shoes,” said Assistant District Attorney Antonio Melchionna during Rojas’ arraignment on Tuesday in Manhattan Criminal Court.

“The defendant was careful enough to stop what he was doing as the train would approach and stop at stations along the line. He even took the time to sit down and act inconspicuous as passengers entered the train car.”

Rojas was arrested after his son alerted authorities upon seeing security footage released by NYPD.

3 Questions Angry Democrats Need To Answer About Illegal Alien Deportations

Democrats and their supporters in the corporate media are still attempting to controversialize the Trump administration’s efforts to remove illegal aliens from the country, as required by federal law. But there are three questions they should all be forced to answer before anyone has to hear more of their whining. Here they are, in no particular order.

1. Can You Identify a Single Alien You Would Deport?

This is the most important question because the answer is no, they can’t, because they don’t want to deport anyone. We know that because they’re on record opposing the most innocuous efforts during President Trump’s first term to remove violent Latin American gang affiliates.

In 2018, Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Kristen Gillibrand, pushed to “abolish ICE.” That same year, Senate Democrats blocked a vote on a bill that would have withheld federal funds from “sanctuary cities” that refused to comply with federal immigration law enforcement. They shouldn’t get to pretend they’re not opposed to deporting illegal aliens if they can’t answer this simple question.
