The MS-13 gang member under a U.S. deportation order, Kilmar Ábrego García, was headlined across mainstream media as a “Maryland man,” misleadingly suggesting he was a U.S. citizen rather than a citizen of El Salvador, where he was deported. Ábrego García faces two federal human smuggling charges for trafficking thousands of undocumented aliens with no authorization to be in the United States, including minors, many of whom were MS-13 members and associates.

Now the media is claiming that ICE arrested yet another “an innocent man.” David Perez-Teofani is a 36-year-old Mexican national who entered the U.S. illegally three times and had previously been deported twice. He has a final order of removal and is anything but an innocent man.

Like all of these sympathy-grabbing videos, the video of Perez-Teofani’s arrest begins with him resisting and being taken down by about five agents. The liberal media shows these images to spark outrage, commenting on the “brutality” of ICE, but the suspect was trying to escape.

Other than taking him down and pinning him, there really isn’t another way to complete the arrest if he keeps fighting and trying to run. And of course, this raises the question: why do they believe it is acceptable to fight and try to run from ICE?

During the arrest, Perez-Teofani kept shouting in Spanish: “I just came to work. I came here for a better life. I didn’t come here to be arrested.” It’s as if liberals want to use this as evidence: “You see! He didn’t come here to be arrested, therefore he should be released.”

They always miss the fact that being a “hardworking” illegal immigrant means he committed three crimes: the crime of entering the country illegally, the crime of being in the country illegally, and the crime of working illegally.

Prior to his most recent arrest, David Perez-Teofani had illegally entered the U.S. three times, had been deported twice, and was already facing a final order of removal. He had also been arrested in Fairfax County on January 30, 2024, for aggravated sexual assault of a child under 13 and felony indecent liberties. Not only did he receive felony charges, but the Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney, a Democrat, later dropped the case without public explanation. That is why he was released—despite being a repeat illegal entrant with a deportation order.

According to bond hearing notes, the alleged victim was a relative who accused Perez-Teofani of touching her breast, and he told a detective the accusation came when he was disciplining the child. Prosecutors dropped the charges in August 2024.

ICE lodged an immigration detainer against Perez-Teofani with the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center after his January 2024 arrest on child sex charges, requesting he be held so ICE could take custody after the case was resolved. The detention center refused to honor the detainer, as Fairfax officials typically require a judicial warrant, something ICE does not normally provide. When the charges were dropped in August 2024, Perez-Teofani was released back into the community instead of being transferred to ICE.

This pattern is common in sanctuary jurisdictions nationwide. In New York City, ICE detainers are routinely ignored. For example, Reeaz Khan, a Guyanese national, was arrested for assault and weapon possession in November 2019. ICE lodged a detainer, but he was released, and weeks later he was charged with the sexual assault and murder of a 92-year-old woman.

Estivan Rafael Marques Velasquez, a Salvadoran national and self-admitted MS-13 gang member, was also released despite an active detainer, despite his history of reckless endangerment, weapons charges, and disorderly conduct. Another case involved a Jamaican national, Cespedes, who faced multiple arrests for marijuana, assault, and attempted murder; detainers were ignored each time, allowing him to remain free until ICE eventually arrested him in the community.

In California, Carlos Morales-Ramirez, a Salvadoran convicted of second-degree murder and assault on a child, was released in December 2013 when an ICE detainer was ignored. In Maryland, Alex Yonatan Flores-Arce, a Honduran national convicted of second-degree rape, was released from Howard County Detention Center in May 2020 despite a detainer, and was arrested again days later for a probation violation.

Philadelphia has followed similar practices. In one case, a previously deported illegal alien from Honduras was released despite an ICE detainer and went on to rape a child. In New York City, Volodymyr Polovko, a Ukrainian arrested for multiple sexual abuse charges, was released without ICE notification under sanctuary policies.

The scope of the problem is significant. In New York City alone, between January and mid-April of one year, ICE filed more than 440 detainers; nearly 40 individuals who were released went on to reoffend. Nationally, during the four-year Biden-Harris administration, more than 22,000 criminal migrants were released by sanctuary jurisdictions instead of being transferred to ICE, and roughly a quarter committed additional crimes.

These cases illustrate a clear pattern: when local jurisdictions refuse to cooperate with ICE detainers, individuals with serious criminal histories are released back into communities. Many have gone on to commit violent crimes, including murder, rape, and assault, that could have been prevented through basic cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.

After his release, Perez-Teofani remained free until his most recent arrest. On Wednesday, federal agents and D.C. police detained him on the National Mall as he screamed for help during the arrest. Although Fairfax prosecutors failed to pursue the child sex crime charges in Virginia, ICE has confirmed he will be deported for a third time.

This case underscores a broader pattern: local jurisdictions refusing to honor ICE detainers, prosecutors dropping serious charges, and repeat illegal entrants returning to U.S. communities, until federal enforcement finally intervenes.

An illegal alien Uber driver who entered the US through California in 2022 on Joe Biden’s open border invitation head-butted a tech CEO, leaving the victim with a brain injury.

The Russian illegal identified as 42-year-old Vadim Uliumdzhiev physically assaulted Bryan Kobel in April because he canceled the rideshare after the driver told him he couldn’t bring the service dog in the car.

Kobel, a South Carolina-based biotech CEO, was rushed to a hospital after he hit his head on the pavement. He suffered a concussion and amnesia.

“The next thing I know, I’m waking up in a hospital bed with seven staples in my head and four stitches,” Kobel told The New York Post. “It’s been a brutal experience to this day.”

Kobel suffered a brain injury and is having a hard time remembering words and speaking.

Kobel has filed a lawsuit against against Uber for financial damages.

DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News that the illegal alien Uber driver who assaulted Kobel entered the US in 2022.

“An ICE arrest detainer was placed on him to ensure he is not released back into American communities to terrorize more Americans,” DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News. “Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, if you break the law, you will face the consequences. Criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the U.S.”

Fox News reported:

A biotech CEO is taking Uber to court after an illegal immigrant driver was caught on camera violently assaulting him in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, sending his dog crashing to the pavement.

The lawsuit, filed Monday in Charleston County, alleges TC BioPharm CEO Bryan Kobel, 45, suffered a concussion in April after Uber driver and illegal Russian national Vadim Nikolaevich Uliumdzhiev, 42, attacked him in a King Street restaurant parking lot.

Uliumdzhiev was arrested and released on a $10,000 bond for second-degree assault and battery, according to Charleston County Sheriff’s Office records. He was later placed on an immigration hold after being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Georgia, according to Kobel’s attorneys.

Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital Uliumdzhiev illegally crossed the southern border near San Ysidro, California on Dec. 4, 2022, and was released into the country under the Biden administration.

The once-great Cracker Barrel has officially responded to the epic backlash of its CEO dumping the company’s iconic logo, and now, a rival chain is weighing in on the outrage.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Cracker Barrel’s woke CEO Julie Felss Masino sparked a social media uproar after making an infuriating change to an iconic part of the restaurant chain.

On Tuesday, the company announced that it was replacing its 47-year-old logo as part of an attempted $700 million rebrand. The old logo shows the restaurant name next to a man sitting on a chair and leaning on a barrel.

Now, the only thing left is the name. No more man and barrel.

Social media’s response was brutal. Users blasted the logo as horrible and noted Masino’s woke past.

Cracker Barrel, however, remains unmoved. A spokesperson told Fox News in a statement on Friday that the company is “very pleased” with not only the logo change but also other aspects of the remodeling.

“Feedback from both guests and team members has been overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic about the refreshed dining and shopping experience,” the statement said.

The company then attacked those criticizing the changes, dismissing them as “a vocal minority.”

“All of the elements of our remodels were informed by direct input from our guests and team members alike. These changes are for them,” the statement continued. “There may be a vocal minority who feel differently.”

Meanwhile, a restaurant chain rival competing for Cracker Barrel’s mostly conservative customer base had a perfect response to what Cracker Barrel going woke.

As Fox News noted, Indianapolis-based burger chain Steak n’ Shake noted that only disaster follows when a company angers its most loyal fans and made its own plea for Cracker Barrel fans to visit a restaurant that actually respects them.

“This is what happens when you have a board that does not respect their historical customers or their brand,” the chain wrote on its official X account. “At Steak n Shake, we have gone back to basics. Our tallow fries are waiting for you.”

“Oh yeah, you can also now pay with Bitcoin!”

This statement from Steak n’ Shake is precisely correct, as other companies like Bud Light can attest. We all remember how Bud Light sales plummeted after putting trans activist Dylan Mulvaney on its beer cans.

Now, it is Cracker Barrel’s turn to get the Bud Light treatment. Companies like Steak n’ Shake are sure to benefit as a result.

What is really going on?  Why is the DOJ still preventing the release of Seth Rich documents requested for nearly a decade?

It is believed that Seth Rich is a pivotal key to the Russia Collusion coup attempt of the first Trump Administration.

The Deep State DOJ and FBI have gone through extreme efforts to cover-up any information they have on Seth Rich.  Rich is who many believe transferred DNC emails to WikiLeaks during the 2016 election.  He was a Bernie fan who worked in the DNC at that time.  He was reportedly upset with what the DNC was doing to Bernie.  On July 10, 2016, Rich was found shot in the back due to what law enforcement labeled a burglary, and yet his wallet, phone, and watch were left on his person.  This is after WikiLeaks began dropping damaging DNC emails that showed the inner-workings of the Hillary campaign.

HERE IT IS=> Detailed List of Top Wikileaks Podesta Emails (Update 12)

It is believed that Seth Rich forwarded those Podesta emails to WikiLeaks.  We all know now without a doubt that it is a lie to claim that the Russians were involved in the transfer of these emails.  

Hillary wanted to deflect from her email scandal and what was in her emails.  She also wanted to punish whoever sent those emails to WikiLeaks.  This is why many believe Seth Rich was murdered.

Attorney Ty Clevenger for years has doggedly gone after information held by the Deep State FBI and DOJ that they refuse to release related to Seth Rich’s murder.  It is the law that documents related to Seth Rich be released per Clevenger’s requests but the Deep State DOJ keeps hiding these documents from the public.

Clevenger previously shared a potential reason why the Deep State won’t provide requested documents from the Seth Rich case.

We filed a motion today to compel the @FBI to search its “prohibited access” files and its previously-secret evidence room for records about Seth Rich. On May 29, 2025, Senate Judiciary Chairman @ChuckGrassley revealed that the FBI had been designating certain records “prohibited access” such that they would not appear during records searches. In other words, “prohibited access” files would have been hidden from FOIA requesters.

For the reasons set forth in the motion (URL below), there is good reason to believe Seth Rich and CrowdStrike records would have been designated “prohibited access.”

The day after Senator Grassley revealed the “prohibited access” feature, @FBIDDBongino revealed the existence of a previously-hidden evidence room at FBI headquarters, and he said records in that room had not been entered into FBI records systems. In other words, those records would also have been hidden from FOIA requesters.

We tried for six weeks to get some straight answers out of the FBI, but no luck. I wish Bongino and @FBIDirectorKash would pay attention to this case, which has been pending since 2020. If they won’t, then maybe Senator Grassley, @JamesComer, @RepMTG, @Jim_Jordan, @RepLuna, @RepThomasMassie, @DNIGabbard or @SpeakerJohnson will. According to Julian Assange, this goes to the heart of the Russia-collusion hoax. @wikileaks

Per a document related to the Russia collusion lie, Hillary Clinton approved the Russia Collusion lie on July 26, 2016, barely two weeks after Seth Rich’s murder.

Today Seth Rich shared another message from the DOJ that they refuse to provide documents related to the Seth Rich murder.  After nearly a decade, they just refuse to provide any documentation.

The @FBI is searching for Seth Rich records in the “secret” evidence room disclosed by @FBIDDBongino, according to a sworn declaration filed today. That’s the same place where the appendix to the Durham report was found in a burn bag.

In the same declaration, the FBI claims that “prohibited access” files would have shown up during the original records search because FOIA personnel are NOT blocked from seeing such files. That’s strange.

@ChuckGrassley expressed concern that the FBI’s own internal investigators could not see “prohibited access” files — potentially interfering with Congressional oversight — so why would low-level records clerks have blanket access when investigators do not? Maybe @GOBactual, @RealStevefriend, @PhillipAKenn, or @FXRegan have some insight.

BTW, why couldn’t the FBI just answer our questions instead of making us file a motion for partial summary judgment? A URL for the declaration is below, and a URL for the FBI’s response to our motion is below that.

When will the new FBI and DOJ get involved in this case?  What is going on is criminal.

Others are chiming in.

It was a leak not a hack.

Files related to Rich in the DNC-@wikileaks investigation by the FBI are key, as well as the contents of his laptop that could potentially contain communications between himself and Wikileaks. Crowdstrike forensic reports are desperately needed as well, it was a leak not a hack!… https://t.co/EiGk7Hj9zA

Texas has cleared the final legislative hurdle toward eliminating five Democrat Congressional representatives, overcoming several childish efforts by state Democrats to delay the inevitable.

As NBC News reported, The Texas State Senate early Saturday morning passed the GOP’s new congressional maps early Saturday morning by an 18-11 vote, sending them to Governor Greg Abbott’s desk. He has vowed to swiftly sign the map into law.

Here is the moment the bill passed:

Democrats are expected to challenge the maps in court.

I thank Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick for leading the charge in the Senate of a bill that ensures our maps’ reflect Texans’ voting preferences.

On Wednesday, the Texas House of Representatives passed the congressional redistricting bill by an 88–52 partisan vote.

Last week, the Texas House failed to achieve quorum for the sixth time since early August, stalling the GOP’s redistricting plan. Only 95 lawmakers showed up for the 10 a.m. session, once again falling short of the 100 needed to reach a quorum.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Texas Governor Greg Abbott had threatened the derelict Democrats with arrest and removal from office if they didn’t return to the Capitol.
