Federal Employee Charged With Capital Murder For Slipping Abortion Pills Into Girlfriend’s Coffee

A 38-year-old Texas resident and federal employee was arrested and charged for killing his preborn child by feeding his girlfriend abortion-inducing drugs without her knowledge.

The Austin-American Statesman reported that Justin Anthony Banta was arrested June 6 and charged with capital murder and evidence tampering. In September 2024, he allegedly snuck abortion pills into his girlfriend’s drink at a coffee shop at about six weeks of pregnancy after she rebuffed his offer to buy “Plan C” for her, saying she wanted the baby.

The girlfriend, who remains anonymous, told police that she began experiencing severe fatigue and bleeding the next day, requiring an emergency room visit, and ultimately lost her baby on October 19.

Police confiscated Banta’s phone during the course of the investigation, accusing him of tampering with it remotely to delete evidence, allegedly using his skills as an IT staffer for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).

“Sheriff Authier expressed his gratitude to the owners and staff of the coffee shop … for their full cooperation, along with the efforts of Parker County Sheriff’s Office investigators, the Texas Rangers, Benbrook Police, Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney’s Digital Forensic and Technical Services, the U.S. Secret Service, the Regional Organized Crime Information Center (ROCIC) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for their support and resources throughout this extensive investigation,” the Parker County Sheriff’s Office said.

In Texas, capital murder is punishable at a minimum of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, though it is possible prosecutors could seek the death penalty.

Despite the abortion lobby’s framing of abortion as a matter of “choice,” it has long turned a blind eye to abortion coercion.

Live Action’s “Aiding Abusers” series draws on news reports, eyewitness testimony, and undercover video to expose Planned Parenthood employees’ willingness to offer abortions to girls as young as 12 without reporting signs of statutory or forcible rape to law enforcement. This enables the men who brought the girls in for appointments to bring them home and continue abusing them.

In 2023, the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute released a study that interviewed 1,000 American women and found that 61 percent of women who undergo abortions do so due to pressure from “male partners, family members, other persons, financial concerns, and other circumstances.”

“Forcing a woman to have an abortion, including a minor, is illegal in all 50 states of the United States of America,” according to the Justice Foundation’s Center Against Forced Abortions, which offers a variety of information resources to help those who are being pressured into killing their babies.

Minn. shooting suspect Vance Boelter ran bogus security company and faced ‘struggles’ after prolonged stint in Africa, roommate says

Suspected assassin Vance Boelter fronted a security firm that his best friend said never existed and experienced “struggles” after returning from a three-year trip to Africa months before he allegedly turned his gun on a pair of Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses.

Federal and state authorities are on the hunt for Boelter, 57, who allegedly disguised himself as a cop before executing former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in their home early Saturday, just prior to shooting and seriously wounding state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in their house.

Authorities are closing in on Boelter after his car was found in a rural area near his home — and neighbors reported hearing gunshots.

Friends and roommates described the accused gunman as a quiet, intelligent family man who rarely discussed politics.

Murder suspect at Salt Lake City ‘No Kings’ protest is a radical leftist

A Latino radical leftist and alleged Antifa supporter has been charged with murder after allegedly causing the conditions that resulted in a Samoan man being killed at the Salt Lake City “No Kings” protest on June 14.

Arturo Gamboa, a 24-year-old member of the leftist Utah-based punk band Rade, was apprehended at the scene wearing all black and allegedly brandishing a semi-automatic rifle. A “No Kings” liberal “peacekeeper” volunteer with bad aim tried taking out Gamboa with three shots but instead fatally wounded a bystander.

Arthur “Afa” Ah Loo, a 39-year-old fashion designer, died from his injuries in hospital. Suspect Gamboa only suffered a graze wound.

Gamboa previously told music publication Slug Mag that he detested American global influence, citing racism.

“This is exactly how the system is meant to function,” he said. “The American system is a steam train that’s always been fueled by black and brown bodies.”

THEY GOT HIM: Minnesota Shooter Vance Boelter Apprehended

The manhunt is over. Vance Boelter—the suspect in the shocking assassination-style shooting of two Minnesota lawmakers—has been taken into custody. Authorities say he was arrested in rural Sibley County, Minnesota.

Boelter shot and killed Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark early Saturday morning at their home in Brooklyn Park. State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were also targeted in a similar attack at their home in Champlin. 

The Sibley County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News that Boelter “verbally” identified himself to authorities Sunday evening.

The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office posted a photo of his arrest, calling it “the face of evil.” “After relentless and determined police work, the killer is now in custody,” the department said. “Thanks to the dedication of multiple agencies working together along with support from the community, justice is one step closer.”

Who Is Vance Boelter, The Minnesota Shooter?

Once again narratives have been locked in concrete and the shooter was just apprehended.

He’s a “Trump Supporter” but he had “No Kings” flyers

He’s a Pro-Lifer but he shot members of the State Legislature that just voted to deny State aid to illegal aliens.

He’s MAGA but he was appointed into his position by Democrat Governors

If all six are true, Vance is really psychologically and ideologically messed up. Kind of like the Ryan Routh in Palm Beach, FL or Thomas Matthew Crooks in Butler, PA

So is there targeted, programmed, mass psychosis going on? Likely

But we also have corrupt media issuing narratives, motives, and agendas and we know little about what’s going on yet. This is likely part of the targeted mass psychosis.

I was enjoying a morning at the Army 250th Anniversary on the mall when I first heard this story.

There were a handful, maybe six “No Kings” activists inside the secure areas in Washington, D.C. except for one screaming Latina who said it wasn’t her country that started World War I or II or any other War (she didn’t say which country she was from so I cannot gauge the truth of her comment), the other five where white, liberal losers, standing silently with their signs except for one meathead that placed his sign on the ground so aliens in UFOs could conveniently read his sign (He’s not getting his $200/day for this stunt).

Minnesota Suspected ShooterPolice Locate Abandoned Vehicle… Roughly 50 Miles From Where Shootings Occurred

Police have discovered a car they believe Vance Boelter — the suspect in the shootings that left one Minnesota politician dead and another gravely injured — was driving … abandoned far from the scenes of the crimes.

The Sibley County Sheriff’s Office told CNN … they found the car they believe Boelter was driving about 50 miles southwest of the Twin Cities Sunday morning. The shootings occurred in Brooklyn Park and Champlin — two suburbs of Minneapolis.

CBS reports that a discarded cowboy hat was found near the vehicle. Remember, a photo obtained by law enforcement yesterday showed Boelter in a Minneapolis business with a cowboy hat on. Unclear if this is the same one.

While there isn’t currently a shelter-in-place order in the area, deputies are asking citizens to exercise caution and stay vigilant.

Yesterday, Vance’s wife — Jenny Boelter — was pulled over and detained just hours after the shooting occurred, according to 5 Eyewitness News, citing law enforcement sources. Cops allegedly found a weapon, ammunition, cash and passports in the car.

Roommate Reveals the Chilling Text Message Vance Boelter Left After Allegedly Assassinating Minnesota State Democrat Lawmaker and Her Husband

The best friend and roommate of the person who allegedly killed a Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband while dressed up as a police officer has revealed the chilling words of the suspect right after the attack was carried out.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Kristinn Taylor reported, two Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party lawmakers and their spouses were shot in ‘targeted’ attacks at their homes early Saturday by a man dressed as a police officer.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced at a press briefing that Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were killed in the shootings. State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were seriously wounded. Walz called the shootings “targeted” attacks.

57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter was later identified as the suspect in these attacks. As TGP’s Cassandra MacDonald notes, Boelter was a Tim Walz appointee and led an international security firm.

Now, David Carlson, the best friend and roommate of Boelter, shared a text message revealing the suspect’s final words before the attack. The message was reportedly received around 6 a.m. Saturday, shortly after former Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed, and Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were shot.

Multiple Minnesota media outlets, including the Minnesota Star Tribune, recorded the video. The message is quite cryptic and chilling.

“David and Ron, I love you guys. I made some choices, and you guys don’t know anything about this, but I’m going to be gone for a while. May be dead shortly, so I just want to let you know I love you guys both and I wish it hadn’t gone this way,” Carlson read from his phone while sitting on his porch steps.

“I don’t want to say anything more and implicate you in any way because you guys don’t know anything about this. But I love you guys and I’m sorry for all the trouble this has caused,” the message continued.

The wife of suspected political assassin Vance Boetler is being detained and questioned after cops found a weapon, ammunition, cash and passports in her car during a traffic stop on Saturday morning, a report said.

Jenny Boetler was stopped by police while driving in a car with several relatives near Onamia, Minnesota, late Saturday morning around 10 a.m., local KTSP reported.

In the car she had a weapon, ammunition, cash and passports, that report stated citing law enforcement officials.

Two cop cruisers were at the scene for two to three hours, according to that report.

Boetler was held for questioning but was not arrested.

It is not clear whether the Boetlers lived with each other, as Vance Boetler was known to live at a residence in Camden, Minnesota, which was raided by SWAT teams on Saturday afternoon.

The couple previously ran the company Praetorian Guard Security.

Minnesota Lawmaker ShootingsPerson of Interest Vance Boelter Works in Security …Trained By Military Personnel, Private Firms

Vance Boelter — the man authorities say is a person of interest in the fatal shooting of a Minnesota politician — has training from military personnel and experience with security situations in foreign countries.

A profile for Boelter on the Praetorian Guard Security Services website lists him as the Director of Security Patrols … and, it describes his various experiences in the security field.

According to the site, Boelter has “been involved with security situations in Eastern Europe, Africa, North America and the Middle East, including the West Bank, Southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.”

He is also said to have training from both private security firms and people in the U.S. military … though it does not say he served in the armed services himself.

Worth noting … we don’t know who wrote this profile or if it’s at all embellished — but, it gives an insight into how the company was marketing Vance and his experiences.

Boelter has allegedly worked for large corporations in the U.S., Switzerland and Japan … and, the profile ends by adding his experience will ensure the security service provided “covers the needs you have to keep your family and property safe.”

It appears Vance works alongside his wife, Jenny, in the company where she serves as CEO. TMZ reached out to her for comment … so far, now word back.

The company offers a variety of services — and appears to outfit personnel in tactical gear — and offers SUVs with flashing lights.

Suspect Had More Names Scribbled in Manifesto… Gunman Still at Large

12:14 AM PT — Gov. Tim Walz and U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar were also reportedly on the target list.

10:55 AM PT — The hit list found in the Minnesota suspect’s car contained nearly 70 names. A law enforcement official told CNN the names included abortion providers, pro-abortion rights advocates and lawmakers in Minnesota and other states.

The official added law enforcement also found a Father’s Day card addressed to the suspect in a bag full of ammunition.

The suspect on the run for the shooting death of Minnesota’s Democrat State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband reportedly wanted to slaughter even more lawmakers.

The gunman’s manifesto was found in the SUV he drove to the Hortman residence before their murders, according to NewsNation’s Brian Entin — and the suspect had written down “names of many lawmakers and other officials.”

Police also found flyers for planned “No Kings” demonstrations across Minnesota in the suspect’s car … and are now urging the public to avoid such gatherings “out of an abundance of caution.”
