46 Honduran nationals working for Sinaloa Drug Cartel arrested on drug trafficking charges in Portland, Oregon

Federal and local law enforcement agencies arrested 46 Honduran nationals on drug trafficking charges in Portland, Oregon, following an extensive joint operation to disrupt open-air drug markets in Multnomah County. Authorities seized an array of illicit drugs, firearms, and cash. The Honduran nationals were reportedly working on behalf of the Mexican Sinaloa Drug Cartel, a designated foreign terror group, according to a press release.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Seattle Field Division said that the apprehended “Honduran drug traffickers” flooded the Portland area with “deadly fentanyl and other drugs.” The enforcement operation that netted 46 arrests occurred in the first four months of 2025.

In total, authorities seized 44 pounds of fentanyl powder; 2,507 fentanyl pills; 22 pounds of methamphetamine; nine pounds of cocaine; two pounds of heroin; 20 firearms; and $204,007 in cash, according to the DEA.

“The fentanyl seized by our team in this case could have yielded over 1.5 million lethal doses – enough to kill everyone in Portland twice,” said David F. Reames, Special Agent in Charge, DEA Seattle Field Division. “I am proud that DEA could help our partners bring this surge to a successful conclusion, saving lives here in Portland and throughout Oregon.”

According to the DEA, nearly 70 percent of all drug poisonings and overdose deaths involve fentanyl, and just two milligrams of fentanyl is considered a potentially deadly overdose.

Portland, a self-declared sanctuary city for illegal immigrants, is among the highest in the nation for fentanyl overdose deaths, as stated in a 2024 CDC report. The operation comes after the state of Oregon re-criminalized illicit drug possession last year following a failed 2020 drug decriminalization ballot measure that resulted in an increase in overdose deaths and open-air drug use on city streets, according to data.

Snooty Oregon town introduces draconian new rules after being ordered to make its ‘private’ lake public

An Oregon town has introduced draconian new rules after being forced to open its once-private lake to the general public.

The affluent enclave of Lake Oswego has established new rules governing public access to Oswego Lake following a court ruling that brought their decades of exclusivity for wealthy lakeside residents to a halt. 

City officials revealed the restrictive measures during a City Council meeting on Tuesday, as reported by KOIN. 

City Manager Martha Bennett outlined the regulations but critics say are designed to discourage outsiders from enjoying the beautiful waters.

The new rules prohibit the public from launching motorboats, sailboats, sailboards, personal watercraft, kiteboards, and most inflatable vessels at Lower Millennium Plaza Park, which is the main access point ordered open by the court.

Only swimmers and those with watercraft under 18 feet in length are allowed to enter the lake, and even then, they must use specific steps at Millennium Plaza Park.

The city specified that inflatables must also be approved by the United States Coast Guard.

This could effectively deter public swimmers as it’s a requirement many lake-goers might struggle to meet.

The council also decided that entry is permitted only from one hour before sunrise until one hour after sunset.

The City Council voted not to appeal the court’s decision but instead implemented these new regulations after a heated deliberation.

Transgender athlete Lia Rose wins girls event in Oregon… two years after finishing LAST against boys

A biological male won a girls varsity high jump event in Oregon this week, almost two years after finishing last in a boys equivalent. 

Lia Rose, who was born Zachary, dominated the competition at the Portland Interscholastic League Varsity event on Wednesday, according to conservative journalist David Medina.

Rose, a senior at Ida B. Wells High School, won with a height of 4-foot 8-inches and beat her nearest competitor Addyson Skyles by a huge two inches. That effort was a personal record for Rose.

However, when competing against boys in May 2023, she finished 11th out of 11 in the junior varsity boys equivalent. 

According to athletic.net, Rose jumped 4-foot 6-inches which was a foot lower than the winner of the male competition. 

Athletic records show Zachary competed in the boys category throughout 2023 and continued to do so after becoming Lia. 

However, in 2025, Lia switched to competing in the girls category.

Zachary also competed as a sophomore in track and once finished second in a junior varsity 3,000m race.

A spokesperson from Portland Public Schools was unable to confirm or deny that Lia and Zachary are the same person, citing the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ‘to protect student privacy.’ 

It comes less than two weeks after an Oregon high school caused fresh controversy after again allowing a transgender athlete to dominate their rivals in a women’s track competition.

Admitted Child Predator Cop Has Conviction Thrown Out Only to Be Busted AGAIN, Hit with 50 Charges

In a damning revelation that unearths the shocking depths of institutional corruption and an absolute travesty of justice, a former police officer, Alexander Salterio, with a history of heinous crimes against children, finds himself embroiled in fresh legal trouble. Salterio previously admitted to a slew of horrific crimes, pleaded guilty, and was mandated to register as a sex offender in 2019. After receiving an insidious amount of blue privilege — despite his disgusting admissions — he is now facing a fresh wave of 50 new counts, this time for posing as a child online to solicit children and for raping his 10-year-old foster child.

In 2019, Salterio, then aged 33, stood before the Douglas County Circuit Court and confessed to a series of monstrous acts. His charges ranged from deploying a child in the display of explicit sexual content, inciting child sex abuse, sexual abuse, and aggravated identity theft. His nefarious scheme involved adopting the guise of a teenage boy on Facebook to solicit explicit photographs from underage girls, in addition to the sexual abuse of a 10-year-old girl.

His reprehensible acts only came to light after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children tipped off the Oregon Justice Department regarding child pornography circulating on Facebook. Once the investigation was initiated, the net of guilt quickly closed around Salterio. He was arrested on February 8, 2019, and subsequently resigned from his position as a Myrtle Creek police officer the next day, a position he had held since August 2017.

This story raises severe questions about the vetting procedures for individuals who are trusted with the responsibility of caring for vulnerable children. A lawsuit of $2.5 million was filed on behalf of the 10-year-old victim, accusing the Department of Human Services and the City of Myrtle Creek of negligence and violation of the child’s constitutional rights. The suit alleged that as a police officer, Salterio was not properly vetted for his eligibility as a foster parent. Worse, even when the child welfare agency discovered Salterio was under criminal investigation, they shockingly continued to let the child remain in his care until his arrest.

Transgender runner blows out competition, sets season records in girls’ races at Oregon high school track meet

The same Oregon high school that came under fire last year for allowing a transgender athlete to compete against girls continues to blow away the competition one year later.

Ada Gallagher, running as a 10th-grader at McDaniel High School in Portland, finished in first place in 200M and 400M races during the 6A-1 Portland Interscholastic League Championship in 2024. 

Now an 11th-grader, Gallagher was back on the track for a Portland Interscholastic League meet at her home track, where she was spotted blowing out the competition, especially in the 400M, where she finished more than seven seconds better than the rest of the field.

Gallagher finished at 57.62 in the 400M, with Franklin High School’s Kinnaly Souphanthong coming in second at 1:05.72.

Gallagher’s teammate Quinnan Schaefer was behind Souphanthong at 1:07.13.

Then, in the 200M race, Gallagher finished in first place at 25.76, followed by teammate Addyson Skyles at 27.31.

Both times for Gallagher were season records.

Woke Oregon county commissioner charged with 8 felonies for allegedly stealing from 83-year-old in fraud scheme

An Oregon county commissioner has been charged with several felonies for allegedly stealing from an elderly victim in a major fraud scheme. Melissa Fireside, 43, a Democrat, was arraigned on charges Wednesday. She is a newly elected Clackamas County Commissioner representing District One.

Fireside faces eight felony charges including first-degree theft, first-degree aggravated theft, two counts of identity theft, two counts of computer crimes, and two counts of first-degree forgery, according to court filings. The commissioner has been accused of taking financial advantage of an 83-year-old man while accessing a computer network. She allegedly forged the victim’s name on documents to steal his funds, per the indictment. The total stolen amounted to tens of thousands of dollars over a series of at least eight separate criminal incidents.

Fireside is being prosecuted by the Oregon Department of Justice. She has also been accused of forging the signature of Democrat state Rep. April Dobson, who represents Happy Valley, to steal the victim’s funds. A Clackamas County judge ordered Fireside to have no contact with both the victim and Dobson during Wednesday’s hearing. She was not remanded to custody.

According to the indictment, Fireside “unlawfully and knowingly accessed a computer for the purpose of committing theft of money.” This included forging or altering several promissory notes: one for $29,000 and another for $30,000. The first recorded criminal act occurred on September 16, 2024, according to court documents.

Oregon Resumes Automatic Voter Registrations After Errors Registered Noncitizens

The Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) resumed automatic voter registrations on Feb. 27, saying it had strengthened the system to prevent the registration of noncitizens.

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek in October 2024 ordered a pause of the process after an audit discovered some individuals were automatically registered to vote despite not providing proof of U.S. citizenship. Officials later disclosed they’d identified additional individuals, taking the total to about 1,600.

The DMV said it has strengthened its system to minimize the risk of more noncitizens and others who have not provided proof of citizenship being registered. This includes hiring a voter registration integrity analyst and modifying the internal interface, which the agency says will reduce the likelihood of DMV staff selecting the wrong option.

Since the pause was imposed, the DMV has sampled new records and manually compared them with information collected from customers. The DMV said that no new mistaken registrations have been found so far.

“We believe these enhanced processes and permanent system changes, along with DMV’s observations and measurements regarding their effectiveness, provide adequate confidence that data integrity … is sufficient to reinstitute the process,” Deloitte, which the governor hired to review the system, said in a report.

“As a partner to Oregon’s Secretary of State, Oregon DMV is proud of the role it plays in helping U.S. citizens engage in our elections,” Oregon DMV Administrator Amy Joyce said in a statement. “We will continue our work to ensure the Oregon Motor Voter process is more secure and reliable than ever.”

The Oregon Secretary of State’s Office is also trying to prevent noncitizen voter registration.

The office said it has added more steps, including a daily confirmation step.

“The new protections we are adding today will help us catch and fix government data entry errors faster. These are first steps, focused on getting the fundamentals right. I will continue to dig into the system and take action whenever I can to strengthen our voter rolls and prevent future mistakes. Our highest priority is – and must always be – protecting the integrity of Oregonians’ fair, secure, and accessible elections,” Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read said in a statement.

REPORT: City of Portland, Oregon Suffering a Rise in Cases of Dysentery

The horrible disease of Dysentery is on the rise in the city of Portland, Oregon. How gross.

You can probably draw a straight line between this and the city’s large homeless population and the practice of using city streets as a public restroom.

It’s an important reminder that homelessness is a multi-faceted issue, and one of the things it affects is public health.

Dysentery cases rise in Portland metro area, health department reports

Dysentery is on the rise in the Portland metro area, according to recent data released by the Multnomah County Health Department.

Also known as shigellosis, dysentery is a highly contagious bacterial disease that can cause fever, cramps, vomiting and diarrhea. It is spread very easily from person to person when someone gets fecal matter from an infected person into their mouth, health officials say.

According to the health department, two types of Shigella typically circulate in Oregon. Although both strains can cause severe diarrhea, officials are not seeing the strain which can cause more severe or fatal illness. However, they note the strains circulating in Multnomah County are resistant to several antibiotics.

Shigella cases have been rising in Multnomah County since 2012, officials said. But health department data on dysentery cases collected by the county from 2017-2024 shows a marked increase in the number of cases between 2023 and 2024. Further, January 2025 showed 40 cases reported.

The report goes on to state that almost 60 percent of recent cases are connected to the homeless population.
