February 12, 2026

The Justice Department arrested and charged a Customs and Border Protection Supervisor for harboring an illegal alien and “maintaining a romantic relationship with her.”

52-year-old CBP supervisor Andres Wilkinson is facing up to 10 years in federal prison and up to a $250,000 fine if convicted.

According to the Justice Department, an illegal alien and her minor child were living with Wilkinson without legal authorization.

Wilkinson has served with the CBP since 2001.

Full press release from the DOJ:

A 52-year-old Customs and Border Protection supervisor has been charged with harboring an illegal alien, announced U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei.

Andres Wilkinson has made his initial appearance and will remain in custody pending a detention hearing tomorrow before U.S. Magistrate Judge Brian C. Bajew.

Wilkinson has served with CBP since 2001 and was promoted to a supervisory position in 2021. In that role, his duties included overseeing the enforcement of customs and immigration laws.

According to the criminal complaint, law enforcement learned that an illegal alien was residing at Wilkinson’s residence without legal authorization. The complaint further alleges that Wilkinson was aware of her unlawful immigration status yet maintained a romantic relationship with her.

Court records allege the illegal alien initially entered the United States on a nonimmigrant visa in August 2023 and later overstayed authorized travel.

From June through November 2025, law enforcement conducted surveillance at Wilkinson’s residence and observed the illegal alien living there with Wilkinson and her minor child, according to the charges. Investigators also observed the alien using vehicles registered to Wilkinson, court documents allege.

In February 2026, investigators interviewed the illegal alien, according to court records. The criminal complaint alleges she had been residing with Wilkinson since August 2024. Court documents further allege Wilkinson provided financial support, including housing, credit cards, assistance with financial obligations and access to vehicle registered in his name. The complaint also alleges Wilkinson knowingly transported the illegal alien through U.S. Border Patrol checkpoints.

The complaint further alleges Wilkinson traveled with the illegal alien to San Antonio and that messages indicated she and her child resided with him.

If convicted, Wilkinson faces up to 10 years in federal prison as well as a possible $250,000 maximum fine.

CBP – Office of Professional Responsibility – Laredo conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Manuel Cardenas is prosecuting the case.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.

Cardi B decided to run her nasty mouth at a recent concert and has now received a stinging response that brings back a dark part of her past.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Cassandra MacDonald reported, Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, kicked off her “Little Miss Drama” tour in California on Wednesday night with a direct and vulgar call for fans to assault federal immigration officers if they showed up at her show.

She called out Mexican and Guatemalan fans in the crowd, telling the audience to “jump” ICE agents if they show up.

“B**ch! If ICE comes in here, we’re gonna jump they a**es,” the rapper said.

Cardi B added, “I’ve got some bear mace in the back! They ain’t taking my fans, b**ch.”

The crowd erupted in cheers after hearing this foul-mouthed garbage.

No one should be surprised by these comments, given that Cardi B is an outspoken Trump-hater and was a devoted Kamala Harris supporter during the last presidential election.

Hours later, the Trump Administration responded with a brutal reply, referencing the ugliest part of Cardi B’s past.

“As long as she doesn’t drug and rob our agents, we’ll consider that an improvement over her past behavior,” the post reads.

Ouch.

Back in 2019, an Instagram Live video emerged showing Cardi B bragging about how she would beat, rob, and drug men during her time as a stripper.

Cardi B later defended herself after receiving severe backlash, claiming, “I did what I had to do to survive.”

“I’m a part of a hip-hop culture where you can talk about where you come from, talk about the wrong things you had to do to get where you are,” she added.

JUST IN: Trump Says Pam Bondi’s Congressional Testimony on Epstein Files was “Fantastic”

President Trump on Thursday reacted to Pam Bondi’s House Judiciary Committee testimony on Wednesday, commending her for what he described as a “fantastic” performance during questioning over the Epstein Files. 

“Bondi, under intense fire from the Trump Deranged Radical Left Lunatics, was fantastic at yesterday’s Hearing on the never ending saga of Jeffrey Epstein, where the one thing that has been proven conclusively, much to their chagrin, was that President Donald J. Trump has been 100% exonerated of their ridiculous Russia, Russia, Russia type charges,” Trump said. He further slammed the “SLIMEBALL Democrats, many of them big Donors and Politicians,” who have been “proven GUILTY,” he said, despite zero attempts by the Bondi DOJ to prosecute Epstein coconspirators.

“‘Republican’ Loser, Sanctimonious RINO Congressman, Thomas Massie, made a total fool of himself yesterday, fighting aimlessly against a hopeless agenda of Hate and Stupidity,” Trump said of Massie, the lone Republican who grilled Bondi over her handling of the Epstein Files on Wednesday. “He is now in ‘Wacky’ Liz Cheney territory!” he added, doubling down on his endorsement for Massie’s primary challenger.

Full statement below:

AG Pam Bondi, under intense fire from the Trump Deranged Radical Left Lunatics, was fantastic at yesterday’s Hearing on the never ending saga of Jeffrey Epstein, where the one thing that has been proven conclusively, much to their chagrin, was that President Donald J. Trump has been 100% exonerated of their ridiculous Russia, Russia, Russia type charges. Actually, it is the SLIMEBALL Democrats, many of them big Donors and Politicians, that have been proven GUILTY! “Republican” Loser, Sanctimonious RINO Congressman, Thomas Massie, made a total fool of himself yesterday, fighting aimlessly against a hopeless agenda of Hate and Stupidity, as most clearly stated by his crashing Job Approval Numbers in the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, where a Military Hero Opponent, Ed Gallrein, is crushing him in the Polls.

He is now in “Wacky” Liz Cheney territory! Nobody cared about Epstein when he was alive, they only cared about him when they thought he could create Political Harm to a very popular President who has brought our Country back from the brink of extinction, and very quickly, at that! In fact, this attempt by the Democrats to take away attention from tremendous Republican SUCCESS is backfiring badly. Maybe they should focus on their quest to Open our Borders to the World’s Greatest Criminals, have Transgender for Everybody or, get Men, no matter their size or strength, to play in Women’s Sports. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

However, Bondi’s testimony was poor optics for the Trump Administration. The Democrats grilled her with Epstein victims in attendance, alleging that she was protecting pedophiles. Bondi repeatedly fired back with failed attempts to be Trump-like as she deflected to attacks on the Democrats and did her best to highlight the Trump Administration’s economic success.

It works for Trump, but Bondi appeared unhinged and rattled throughout the roughly 5-hour-long hearing.

What she gave the Democrats is hours ‘ worth of soundbites for their 2026 campaigns.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Bondi’s exchange with Thomas Massie, where she desperately attacked him when backed into a corner on why the Department of Justice redacted the names of Epstein coconspirators like billionaire and former Victoria’s Secret CEO Les Wexner.

Eventually, Bondi lost it, shouting, “This guy has Trump derangement syndrome!” She further added, “You’re a failed politician,” later slamming him as a “hypocrite.”

NEW: Justice Department’s Antitrust Chief Ousted – Another Pro-MAGA Patriot Is Removed from DOJ

Gail Slater, the Justice Department’s antitrust chief was ousted on Thursday.

According to CBS News, DOJ officials such as AG Pam Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche lost trust in Slater.

The Trump DOJ officials believed Slater undermined pending cases, CBS News reported.

CBS News reported:

Top Trump administration officials ousted Justice Department antitrust chief Abigail Slater and had discussions with her shortly before she announced on social media that she was leaving the department, sources told CBS News.

Slater didn’t cite a reason for her departure in her statement on X, where she wrote, “It is with great sadness and abiding hope that I leave my role as AAG for Antitrust today.”

But she had lost the trust of Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter, with one source adding they felt the only way to move the president’s agenda forward was through new leadership.

In her post as assistant attorney general for antitrust, she determined whether business merger deals would be approved or get derailed, and her every move was closely watched by the business community.

For now, she will be replaced by Omeed Assefi, who previously served as acting assistant attorney general before Slater was confirmed and most recently served as deputy assistant general for criminal enforcement, sources told CBS News.

After CBS’s report, Gail Slater took to social media to announce that she is no longer with the Justice Department.

She did not provide an explanation for her departure.

“It is with great sadness and abiding hope that I leave my role as AAG for Antitrust today,” Gail Slater said.

“It was indeed the honor of a lifetime to serve in this role. Huge thanks to all who supported me this past year, most especially the men and women of
the Antitrust Division,” Gail Slater said.

Alex Jones warned that Gail is the latest pro-MAGA casualty discarded by the DOJ.

Jones adds, “Anyone willing to fight for America is being pushed out.”

Something must be done before it’s too late for the country to see any of the government lawbreakers and anti-Trump villains face justice.
The clock is ticking.
