Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the arrest of an illegal caught up in a sting operation.

Federico Pascual-Jimenez, from Mexico, thought he was sending sexually explicit text messages to a 14-year-old girl.

It was, in fact, an ICE agent.

In his texts, Pascual-Jimenez said he thought “age doesn’t matter.”

ICE announced on X, “.@ICEgov has ARRESTED a criminal illegal PEDOPHILE.”

“Federico Pascual-Jimenez, from Mexico, believed he was sending text messages to a 14-year-old girl who was actually an ICE agent. Pascual-Jimenez sent sexually explicit texts and said he thought ‘age doesn’t matter.’”

“This sicko’s criminal history includes a conviction for DUI, and he has been deported 5 TIMES in the past.”

“ICE is working with officials in South Dakota to ensure he is NEVER released into our streets again.”

Per the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), “In May 2026, an ICE law enforcement officer was working undercover in an operation to target pedophiles who use the internet to prey on children. Posing as a 14-year-old girl, the agent exchanged texts with Federico Pascual-Jimenez, a 34-year-old criminal illegal alien from Mexico. When the agent sent texts saying that the ‘child’ was young, Pascual-Jimenez responded with ‘I think age doesn’t matter.’”

Pascual-Jimenez then began sending texts suggesting his intentions to have sex with a child, saying, “but what if you wanted to keep this relationship strictly secret – where you are mine and mine alone, and I am yours – so that whenever we’re together, I can do all the things I love doing to you?”

Later, he began making demands of the “child,” including orders to “don’t tex[t] you[r] age you know” and “delete that text now” in reference to another text stating that “she” was only 14 years old.

Pascual-Jimenez arranged to meet the “girl” in the parking lot of a public swimming pool in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, but found himself surrounded by HSI officers instead.

He was arrested without incident.

Pascual-Jimenez faces felony charges of enticement of a minor for indecent purposes and illegal re-entry.

Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis shared, “This sicko was arrested after repeatedly sending sexual texts to someone he thought was a 14-year-old girl.”

“His criminal history includes a conviction for driving under the influence, and he has been deported FIVE times in the past. ICE has lodged a detainer asking officials in South Dakota to commit to not releasing this pedophile from jail and cooperate with ICE, so that we can remove him from our country and make sure he’ll never prey on another innocent child in our country again.”

DHS added:

Pascual-Jimenez first illegally entered the United States through Arizona in 2001 and was granted a voluntary return to Mexico. He then illegally re-entered the country through Texas in April 2012, and again voluntarily departed the country. He then illegally entered the country TWICE through California in May of 2012 – with his second entry in May being a felony – and was deported both times. His fifth illegal entry was in July 2012, when he entered through Texas and was deported again in August 2012. He then illegally entered the country for a SIXTH time at an unknown date and location.

A young man refusing to stand for the National Anthem at Wrigley Field during Sunday’s game between the Chicago Cubs and the Minnesota Twins got some sense beaten into him, captured in a viral video.

In the clip, an older man standing behind the seated fan repeatedly tells him to stand for the Anthem.

But when the younger fan refused to stand and turned his head away, the man smacked him in the back of the head, prompting him to stand.

“What was that for?” the man said after being struck. The older fan appeared to respond, “Stand up. Just shut up.”

The two exchanged some more words as offended bystanders also intervened.

Via Fox:

The fans reportedly resolved the incident, and the younger fan did not ask security to take any action, according to a statement from the Cubs.

“We encourage every fan to stand, if they are able, and to remove their caps while the anthem is being played,” a Cubs spokesperson said, noting that their code of conduct still “prohibits physical confrontations and threatening behavior.”

Per NBC:

In a statement, the Cubs said security officers spoke to the fan who had been struck, and he told the team the matter had been “resolved” and that he did not wish for any further action to be taken.

“The National Anthem is an important tradition at Chicago Cubs games,” a Cubs spokesperson said. “While we respect the rights of individuals to decide for themselves, we encourage every fan to stand, if they are able, and to remove their caps while the anthem is being played. At the same time, the safety and security of our fans is our top priority. We expect all guests to treat one another with respect and to follow our Fan Code of Conduct, which prohibits physical confrontations and threatening behavior. Our security team spoke with the fan who had been struck. He indicated that the matter had been resolved, he did not want to have anyone ejected from the ballpark or any further action taken, and we respected his wishes.”

In response to a request for comment from NBC, Chicago police said no officers were called to the ballpark, and no report was filed due to the incident.

The fight to get Todd Blanche confirmed as the next Attorney General rages on, as Blanche needs at least 50 Senators to vote in favor, in this scenario Vice President JD Vance would cast a tie breaker vote.

Senate Democrats will likely remain united in voting against Blanche, which means Blanche can only afford to lose a little bit of Republican support.

Two GOP Senators, Thom Tillis, R-NC, and John Cornyn, R-TX, remain undecided and are skeptical on Blanche’s qualifications for the role.

Tillis demanded that Blanche meet with Epstein survivors, which he recently did and Cornyn argued that Blanche’s answers during his confirmation hearing were “not good enough.”

Both Tillis and Cornyn are having discussions with President Trump to negotiate a compromise in return for their votes to confirm Blanche.

During his confirmation hearing, Blanche suffered a gaffe when being questioned by Senator John Kennedy, R-LA.

Kennedy asked Blanche if he and President Trump were friends, prompting the latter to say “I’m his lawyer – was his lawyer, and now I’m the deputy Attorney General.”

Despite the comment, Kennedy is still confident that Blanche will be confirmed as the next Attorney General.

“I don’t think any closed minded person can look at his resume and not conclude that,” Kennedy told TGP.

“I don’t think my Democratic colleagues like him because he was appointed by President Trump and that upsets them because they wanted Vice President Harris to be President.”

Back in May, President Trump and the DOJ introduced a $1.776 billion dollar “anti-Weaponization” fund to compensate J6ers who were treated horribly by the justice system following the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

The plan was then cancelled by Blanche.

“The anti-Weaponization fund you talk about is no longer in existence and the Attorney General said it won’t come into existence,” Kennedy told TGP.

Kennedy also brought up a settlement regarding President Trump’s tax audits, which was voided by District Judge, Kathleen Williams:

“There were a lot of other questions by my Democratic friends about the settlement of the President’s audits, but that settlement agreement has been struck down by the district court,” Kennedy told TGP.

“It’ll probably be appealed, but I wouldn’t bet my house on the court of appeal, like overturning the district court’s opinion. If I were betting your house, it would be a maybe.”

Kennedy subtly hinted that he is leaning towards voting to confirm Blanche and would only vote no if something “demonstrated” to him that Blanche is not qualified:

“Something that’s Demonstrated to me, aside from my personal feelings, is that he was unqualified.”

The confirmation process to confirm Blanche as the next Attorney General has stalled, as he has not secured key GOP Senate votes from Cornyn or Tillis, while other GOP RINOs such as Susan Collins, R-ME, and Lisa Murkowski, R-AK, could be a thorn in the side of both Blanche and President Trump.

Will Blanche prevail or will the President have to pick someone else as the next Attorney General?

The Worst Sports League in History Continues to Self-Implode

The women running the WNBA are destroying their golden moment.  The WNBA places racial and sexual prerogatives over running a league that welcomes mainstream America.

Caitlin Clark joined the league and brought a huge fan base with her.  These fans didn’t care about race or sexual preferences; they followed Clark because of her exceptional and generational talent. Clark was exciting to watch and would make three-point shots from places on the court never fathomed.  Her shooting, passing, and winning were addictively fun to watch.

Clark is still on fire as reported only days ago:

But unfortunately, this league hates her. She is white, straight, pretty, and better than all the rest. The league claimed that Clark didn’t get the most votes for the All-Star, yet she ran away with the voting the last two years. Clark was supposedly second to someone no one knows.

This is frying me.

Clark is consistently abused by the WNBA leadership, the refs, her coaching staff, who play her sparingly to keep her stats down, and players in the league who are physically beating and abusing her during games. It is so bad that the US House is looking into it.

For the All-Star break this weekend, the league hides Clark in the back row in the promotional poster.  This league hastes Clark and the fans notice.

Another day of disrespect for Caitlin Clark, from the WNBA.

The WNBA ultimately hates Clark’s fans – good Americans who enjoy basketball and don’t care about race, color, sexual preferance, or liberal politics.

Those who don’t agree with the liberal and radical WNBA base are called racists.  This is hat is really going on.

It’s like communism; if you don’t play along with the agenda, you must be removed.

An unemployed migrant in Minnesota has not only committed three heinous acts of murder but is blaming AMERICA for his wicked deeds.

As KTSP reported, authorities charged 30-year-old Tsegaab Binessu on Tuesday afternoon with the murders of three people: 25-year-old Nansi Fuentes Zambrano, 56-year-old Dena Silcox, and 43-year-old Adam Wilwerding. The charges came just one day after he was arrested in Virginia, Minnesota on Monday night.

The murders occurred at a St. Paul apartment complex on Monday. All three victims were staffers at the complex.

Per documents viewed by KTSP, Binessu, who is originally from Ethiopia, demanded cancellation of his $65-a-month parking garage contract because he intended to join the Navy and had quit his job as a trucker two months ago.

The documents also show that Binessu’s roommate later called the police and revealed that Binessu told him he had gone to the leasing office and killed three people.

More from KTSP on the incident:

Apartment staff later told police that Binessu had called earlier to cancel that parking contract, but they told him he couldn’t get out of paying it after recently renewing it, the complaint states. Binessu replied that he was going to come to the office to talk about it in person.

Surveillance video from the apartment office shows Silcox and Wilwerding talking to Binessu when the tenant suddenly lifts his shirt, pulls out a gun, and points it at them, charges state. He then allegedly shot Wilwerding six times and then Silcox six times.

Before the camera feed ended, Binessu walked down a hallway, out of view of the camera, and a scream was heard, followed by four more gunshots, the complaint adds. A total of 21 spent casings were recovered in the office.

Binessu was arrested driving Zambrano’s car.

KTSP also notes that during an interview with the police, Binessu lashed out at the country he now called home. He whined about “the American system,” claiming that he had previously tried to bring his wife and kids from Ethiopia for seven years.

“The American system,” Binessu claimed, later caused his divorce. He also said without evidence that apartment management also blamed problems on “the American system,” and said he was a victim of racism and xenophobia.

Ramsey County Attorney John Choi released a statement that called the incident “shocking” and vowed to hold Binessu accountable.

“This shocking act of violence has shaken our community, and we thank the Saint Paul Police Department and other assisting police agencies for their quick work to bring the suspect into custody,” he said.

“Our hearts go out to the family and friends of the three victims who lost their lives, and we will do everything in our power to hold the accused accountable and seek justice for our community and the victims,” Choi added.

Binessu faces up to 40 years in prison for each murder. He is scheduled to arrive in court for the first time on Wednesday.
