Two judges—one in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and another in New Mexico—have been arrested for aiding dangerous illegal aliens, including a suspected member of the violent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang.

Attorney General Pam Bondi, in a fiery statement, made it clear that the Trump administration will not tolerate such flagrant disregard for the rule of law, no matter who the offender may be.

“No one is above the law,” Bondi declared in a blistering video statement released on Friday, as she outlined the shocking details of these two cases.

“The Trump administration will fight for victims. The rule of law is very simple. It doesn’t matter what line of work you’re in. If you break the law, we will follow the facts and we will prosecute you,” Bondi concluded.

Judge Hannah Dugan: Aiding a Violent Illegal Alien in Milwaukee

Judge Hannah Dugan faces federal charges of “obstructing or impeding a proceeding before a department or agency of the United States, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1505; and concealing an individual to prevent his discovery and arrest, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1071” for her role in helping a violent illegal alien from Mexico evade arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

According to an affidavit from FBI Special Agent Lindsay Schloemer, ICE agents, along with FBI and DEA task force officers, had arrived at the Milwaukee County Courthouse on April 18, 2025, armed with an arrest warrant for Flores-Ruiz. Flores-Ruiz, a previously deported criminal alien, had illegally reentered the United States and was wanted for removal.

According to Pam Bondi, the criminal, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, was in court facing charges of domestic violence after brutally assaulting two victims.

Flores-Ruiz punched a man in the face 30 times, strangled him, and then turned his rage on a woman by punching her in the face with his closed fist.

Federal agents coordinated with courthouse deputies and sat patiently outside Courtroom 615, prepared to execute the arrest after Flores-Ruiz’s hearing, following standard safety protocols for public spaces.

When Dugan learned ICE agents were stationed outside to apprehend Flores-Ruiz, in a shocking abuse of power, she stormed off the bench, angrily confronted federal agents in the hallway, and aggressively demanded they leave, falsely claiming they needed a “judicial warrant” (despite immigration arrests lawfully proceeding with administrative warrants in public spaces.

After escorting agents toward the Chief Judge’s office to stall them, Dugan returned to her courtroom and, according to multiple witnesses, escorted Flores-Ruiz and his lawyer out through a non-public “jury door”—a route never used for free individuals—deliberately bypassing the ICE agents.

Meanwhile, the brave victims of Flores-Ruiz’s violence were left abandoned, waiting in the courtroom for justice that never came.

Flores-Ruiz later bolted from the courthouse and led federal agents on a foot chase through the streets of Milwaukee before he was apprehended near West State and 10th Streets.

In his sworn affidavit, Special Agent Schloemer made clear: “Based on the above information, I have probable cause to believe that Judge Dugan violated federal law.” The criminal complaint was formally signed by U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephen C. Dries.

Judge Joel Kano: Harboring a Gang Member and Destroying Evidence

Former New Mexico Magistrate Judge Joel Cano and his wife, Nancy Cano, were arrested on April 24, 2025, for allegedly harboring Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, a suspected member of the notorious Venezuelan Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang.

The Gateway Pundit broke the story, revealing Cano’s shocking actions, which included destroying evidence and providing the gang member with assault rifles.

According to Bondi, federal agents raided Cano’s residence and uncovered a trove of incriminating evidence.

Ortega-Lopez’s cellphone and social media accounts contained photos of gang tattoos, insignia, and a chilling image of him posing with Cano.

Most horrifying were pictures of two decapitated victims, their hands severed and bodies mutilated—evidence of the gang’s barbaric violence.

Ortega-Lopez had also mocked a $5,000 reward offered for TdA members, flaunting his impunity.

Bondi revealed that Cano admitted, post-Miranda, to smashing Ortega-Lopez’s cellphone with a hammer and disposing of it in a city dumpster to destroy evidence.

Even more alarming, Cano and his wife allegedly provided Ortega-Lopez with assault rifles, including one equipped with a suppressor, which he used at a shooting range with other TdA members.

On Thursday, the FBI arrested former New Mexico Magistrate Judge Juan Cano and his wife, Nancy Cano, for harboring an illegal alien with suspected ties to Tren de Aragua.

Guest post by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò

This is the interview requested by the editorial staff of “Fuori dal Coro” on Mediaset for yesterday’s episode, April 23. Without any explanation and without any apology from the editorial staff, my intervention was not broadcast. I make it available here.

1. Your Excellency, what is your evaluation of Pope Bergoglio?

In recent decades, a subversive lobby has taken over the levers of power in governments and institutions, in order to carry out the anti-Christian and Masonic plan of the Revolution. Government agencies – as we know from what is also emerging in the United States of America – have interfered in the life of various nations, organizing and financing the so-called “Agenda 2030” of the Rockefeller Foundation and the World Economic Forum, which consists in the destruction of the family, the commodification of human life, the moral corruption of children and young people, the exploitation of workers, and the privatization of all those services that until the 1990s were guaranteed – without a motive of profit – by the State: health, infrastructure, defense, communications, education. To carry out this global coup, the collaboration (paid, of course) of corrupt government officials, and of corrupt politicians, doctors, judges, and teachers was necessary.

The Catholic Church, which with the Second Vatican Council had already aligned itself with the worldly mentality, had however remained firmly anchored to certain non-negotiable principles, for example in matters of sexual morality or respect for human life from conception to natural death. Benedict XVI was clearly opposed to the globalist plan and would never have derogated from these principles by legitimizing the LGBTQ ideology, gender ideology, the pseudo-health follies of the WHO in matters of genetic modification and world depopulation, or the Islamization of Europe through ethnic substitution. It was therefore necessary to eliminate Joseph Ratzinger, replacing him with a “pope” who – as Hillary Clinton’s collaborator, John Podesta, hoped – would promote the Agenda 2030, ratify climate change fraud, and convince the faithful around the world to undergo the inoculation of a serum that we now know was designed to eliminate or pathologize most of humanity.

This Vatican coup was made possible (and we know this from the admissions of its protagonists, including the controversial Cardinal Danneels) by the maneuvers of the Saint Gallen Mafia, which in concert with the American deep state pushed Benedict XVI to resign and managed to appoint Jorge Mario Bergoglio to the highest position in the Catholic Church.

Bergoglio’s was a usurpation no more and no less than those that allowed the globalist lobby to impose government leaders under the orders of the Davos Forum in the Italy of Conte and Draghi, the France of Macron, the England of Johnson and Starmer, the Spain of Sanchez, the Ireland of Martin, the Canada of Trudeau, the Australia of Arden, the United States first of the Clintons and Obama and then of Biden, and in the European Union of von der Leyen. All of these leaders did not come to power legitimately, but rather through scheming, electoral fraud, or manipulation of consensus; and they exercise this power against the citizens and against the institutions that they should represent.

And all of these people, without exception, are widely compromised and subject to blackmail, so they are forced to obey if they do not want to see their crimes and perversions brought to light. And neither Bergoglio nor his acolytes are an exception in this regard.

The judgment that any Catholic is led to formulate on this “papacy” – which was not really a Papacy at all but only seemed to be such – cannot but be terrible, from every point of view. The Church of Rome, after these twelve years of tyranny, is devastated by scandals, corruption, violations of human rights – I am thinking of the Agreement with the communist dictatorship of Beijing – and by a failed management on all fronts. The timid criticisms of some Cardinals and Bishops of Bergoglio’s heresies and scandals have in no way dented this global regime that sees the worlds’ rulers as its allies – opposed to the good of both citizens and believers.

2. On the day Pope Francis died, you wrote a post on X in which you define the statements Bergoglio confided to Eugenio Scalfari as “heretical ravings.” Can you explain why?

According to Scalfari, Bergoglio confided to him that he did not believe in hell, and that he was convinced that good souls are saved by “merging” with God, while damned souls are destroyed, dissolved into nothingness. This contradicts both Sacred Scripture and the Catholic Magisterium, which teach that every soul, at the moment of physical death, faces the Particular Judgment and is rewarded with either eternal bliss (possibly passing through Purgatory) or punished with eternal damnation, depending on how it behaved in life, and on its state of friendship or enmity with God at the moment of passing away. This is why I spoke of heretical ravings: they are added to a very long list of nonsense and heresies that we have all had to endure in recent years.

3. What are you referring to when you speak of “his heirs… the subversives”?

Bergoglio surrounded himself with corrupt and blackmailable characters, whom he used casually in order to obtain what he intended. He mocked, denigrated, and offended honest Cardinals and Bishops. He protected and covered up investigations into Prelates accused of serious crimes. He promoted the entire chain of American Prelates, corrupt and ultra-progressive, all connected to the former Cardinal McCarrick, who today occupy the main American dioceses and key positions in the Vatican. He lifted the excommunication of his Jesuit brother Marco Rupnik, whose shameful affairs had scandalized even the most moderate. He persecuted all his opponents, including me, inflicting excommunication on me, in violation of law and justice. All of these people are still in their places, they continue to demolish the Church and are preparing, with the next Conclave, to complete the task assigned to them: to transform the Church of Christ into an ecumenical and syncretistic organization of Masonic origin that lends its support to the New World Order.

4. In your estimation, Pope Francis was an anti-Pope, a non-Pope. Can you explain why?

The Cardinal who is elected in a Conclave as Successor of Peter must express his acceptance and consent to assume the functions proper to the Papacy.

I believe that Bergoglio’s acceptance of the Papacy was flawed because he considered the Papacy something other than what it is; like the spouse who marries in church excluding the specific purposes of Marriage, therefore nullifying the marriage precisely due to his defect of consent.

Bergoglio obtained his election through fraud, abusing the authority of the Roman Pontiff to do the exact opposite of what Jesus Christ gave a mandate to Saint Peter and his Successors to do: to confirm the faithful in the Catholic Faith, to shepherd and govern the Lord’s Flock, and to preach the Gospel to all people. All of Bergoglio’s governing and teaching actions – from his first appearance at the Vatican Loggia introducing himself with that disturbing “Buona sera” – have unfolded in a direction diametrically opposed to the Petrine mandate: he has adulterated the Depositum Fidei, he has created confusion and led the faithful into error, he has dispersed the Flock, he has declared that the evangelization of peoples is “solemn nonsense,” condemning it as proselytism; and he has systematically abused the power of the Holy Keys to loosen what cannot be loosened and bind what cannot be bound.

The Pope is not the master of the Church, but rather the Vicar of Christ: he must exercise his authority within the boundaries established by Jesus Christ and in accordance with the purposes desired by God: first of all, the salvation of souls through the preaching of the Gospel to all creatures, and by means of the Sacraments.

A Pope cannot therefore consider himself authorized to “reinvent” the Papacy, to “reread it in a synodal key”, to “modernize it”, to dismember it at will, to change the Faith or Morals. If he thinks that the Papacy allows him to modify the institution he presides over, by that very fact he finds himself in that situation of defect of consent (vitium consensus) such as to nullify his apparent elevation to the Petrine Ministry, because what he has accepted is not the Catholic Papacy as it has always been understood from Saint Peter onwards, but rather a personal idea of “papacy.”

For this reason, I am convinced that the subversive role played by Bergoglio – even considered in the broader international context of the globalist coup – makes him a usurper, an anti-pope, a non-pope precisely, because he was perfectly aware of wanting to tamper with the Papacy by transforming it into something else and giving it purposes that are not those of the Papacy: from the cult of the idol of Pachamama to communion for divorcees and the blessing of homosexual couples, from immigration to the promotion of vaccines, from climate propaganda to gender transition.

On the other hand, we have confirmation of this from those who praise Bergoglio not for having been a Catholic Pope, but for the empanadas of the trans population of Torvaianica or for his warm friendship with Emma Bonino.

5. What will be the future of the Church now that Pope Francis has died?

The death of Bergoglio crystallizes, so to speak, a situation of widespread illegitimacy. Of the 136 Cardinal electors, 108 were “created” by him; which means that whatever Pope is elected in the upcoming Conclave – even if he were a new Saint Pius X – his authority will be compromised by having been elected by false cardinals, created by a false Pope. For this reason, some time ago, I asked my Brothers in the Episcopate to clarify these aspects before they proceed with the election of a new Pope.

Certainly, the situation is disastrous and humanly without a solution. However, as Bishop and Successor of the Apostles I cannot help but remind everyone that the Church, which is the Mystical Body of Christ, is destined to face the passio Ecclesiæ following the example of the Lord. It will be precisely from this passion – in which everything will seem lost as on that Good Friday 1,992 years ago – that the Church will be reborn, regenerated, and purified.

During these days in which we celebrate Easter, every Catholic finds in Christ’s triumph over death and sin the reasons for their own faithfulness to the Gospel. Our Lord told us, shortly before He faced His Passion: Do not be afraid: I have overcome the world.

President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump flew to Rome, Italy on Friday to attend the funeral of Pope Francis at the Vatican on Saturday morning.

This was President Trump’s first foreign trip of his second term in office.

President Trump and First Lady Melania were seated in the front row at the Vatican funeral and the US President, one of the great leaders in modern history, was the center of attention in a crowd of elites.

President Trump was the focus point of attention at the far left pope’s funeral. He was continually greeted by foreign leaders as he waited for the ceremonies to begin.

The sudden death of Virginia Giuffre, the courageous whistleblower who exposed the depraved world of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking empire, has shocked the world, with prominent GOP lawmakers openly questioning the official narrative of her reported ‘suicide.’

The Gateway Pundit reported on Friday that Giuffre, 41, was found dead at her farm in Western Australia, where she had lived for several years.

According to a statement from her family reported by NBC News, Giuffre took her own life after a lifelong battle with the trauma of sexual abuse and trafficking.

“It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia,” her family said in a statement.

“She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.

“Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She was the light that lifted so many survivors.

“In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight.”

Giuffre’s death comes just weeks after a reported car accident on March 24, 2025, which she claimed left her in critical condition. In an Instagram post on April 1, Giuffre described a collision with a school bus.

Giuffre wrote:

“This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won’t bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can.

I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology. I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes.

S**T in one hand and wish in the other & I guarantee it’s still going to be s**t at the end of the day. Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the world and for being a great part of my life. Godbless you all.”

However, the New York Post reported that Western Australia police described the crash as “minor,” with no serious injuries noted. A mother of a child on the bus told the outlet, “I don’t know what’s true and what is not, but I do know [the injuries] are not from the bus incident.”

Many are refusing to blindly accept the official story — especially given Giuffre’s own chilling words posted years earlier.

In December 2019, Giuffre made it crystal clear in a public post:

“I am making it publicly known that in no way, shape or form am I suicidal. I have made this known to my therapist and doctor. If something happens to me – for the sake of my family do not let this go away and help me to protect them. Too many evil people want to see me quieted.”

Prominent Republican figures have wasted no time voicing their distrust of the suicide narrative, drawing parallels to Epstein’s own questionable death in a New York jail cell in 2019, officially ruled a suicide.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) wrote on X:

“Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre has died by ‘suicide.’ The truth needs to come out no matter who is responsible.”

The timing of Giuffre’s death has raised eyebrows among many, particularly as the Trump administration has pledged to release all documents related to Epstein’s case, including lists of high-profile associates.

In February 2025, the “first phase” of these documents was released, though they contained no major revelations. Some are speculating that Giuffre’s passing could be an attempt to silence a key figure before more damning information emerges.
