Elijah Manley, the former Socialist-Democrat candidate in Florida, was arrested for threatening to behead people if they don’t vote for Democrat Senate candidate Angie Nixon.

Recall that Elijah Manley, an anti-ICE activist, previously lashed out at his opponent Democrat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz for running in a majority black district.

“I think, for sure, it was a bad move by the congresswoman to run in this district. It was selfish and all about her, her career, and not about the community. She failed to do any meaningful dialogue with the community before announcing her run, and it comes off as a hostile takeover of the district,” said Elijah Manley, a 27-year-old Black Democrat and progressive organizer running against her in the primary.

Over the summer, Elijah Manley threatened to behead people if they don’t vote for Communist Florida Senate Candidate Angie Nixon.

“Every democrat needs to get behind the democratic nominee for Senate. Anybody not doing that, I promise you I’m going to cut your f*cking head off,” Elijah Manley wrote on Facebook.

“Any of you that don’t support Angie Nixon. I promise you I will make your life a living hell to the very end,” he said.

Elijah Manley turned himself in to Broward County authorities this weekend.

CBS News reported:

Former Florida House District 20 candidate Elijah Manley surrendered to authorities Thursday and was booked into the Broward County Jail on two counts of making written threats to kill or cause bodily injury.

Manley, a 27-year-old Democrat, faces the charges over social media posts he made shortly after losing the August election, according to an arrest warrant obtained by CBS News Miami. Investigators said the warrant stems from a series of Facebook posts exchanged between Manley and two other people.

According to the warrant, one post said: “Every Democrat needs to get behind the Democratic nominee for Senate. Anybody not doing that, I promise you I’m going to cut your [expletive] head off.”

The candidate referred to in the post was Angie Nixon.

Authorities said Manley later tagged two people in the comments and wrote more messages that investigators interpreted as threats.

One comment said: “I’m talking to y’all. I saw y’all comments earlier. I’m already pissed off, do not piss me off more. I swear to god, take me to war over this black woman, and I promise y’all I will burn y’all [expletive] castle to the ground and anyone else in my way.”

Former Democrat Congressional candidate who campaigned with @AngieNixon has been arrested and jailed for allegedly threatening to “chop off the head” of anyone who doesn’t vote for Angie Nixon

Do you all remember when I got former Congressional candidate @iElijahManley’s Florida campaign event shut down when he was trying to hold events at Jewish owned businesses with Jihadists and @AngieNixon as a form of intimidation to the Jewish community in South Florida?

Remember when I said the Islamic communists like Manley were trying to push an Islamic takeover of Congress?

Angie Nixon held a rally with Elijah Manley and then @RoKhanna endorsed both of them.

Elijah Manley was just arrested in Florida for allegedly threatening people with violence if they didn’t vote for @AngieNixon, the Islamic communist Senate candidate in Florida who is running against @SenAshleyMoody.

According to the warrant, one post said: “Every Democrat needs to get behind the Democratic nominee for Senate. Anybody not doing that, I promise you I’m going to cut your [expletive] head off.”
The candidate referred to in the post was Angie Nixon.

Chopping people’s heads off is an Islamic tactic.

The red-green alliance is here and it’s in your face and dangerous. People better wake up!

A former University of Kentucky cheerleader who pleaded guilty to killing her newborn son was sentenced Friday to 10 years in prison.

Laken Snelling admitted in Fayette Circuit Court on Aug. 21 to first-degree manslaughter, abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence, and concealing the birth of an infant, WLEX reported.

During the plea hearing, she told the court, “Instead of helping him, I ended his life.”

Prosecutors had suggested the 10-year term under the agreement. A judge imposed that sentence on Friday.

The case began on Aug. 27, 2025, when Lexington police were called to a residence in the 400 block of Park Avenue for an unresponsive infant.

Officers found the baby dead at the scene.

The Kentucky Medical Examiner’s Office later determined the infant had been born alive and died from asphyxia by undetermined means.

A Fayette County grand jury indicted Snelling on a charge of first-degree manslaughter. She had earlier been arrested on charges of concealing a birth and tampering with evidence.

FORMER CHEERLEADER SENTENCED AFTER ADMITTING SHE DEPRIVED NEWBORN OF OXYGEN.

Laken Snelling, 22, was sentenced Friday to 10 years in prison for the 2025 death of her newborn son. At sentencing, she said: “Instead of helping him, I ended his life.”

Snelling was arrested after roommates found the full-term baby’s body wrapped in a towel inside a trash bag in her closet.

An autopsy determined the baby was born alive and died of asphyxiation.

In August, Snelling pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter, abµse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence and concealing the birth of an infant. She was taken into custody after the sentence was imposed.

The Western Journal reported in March that Snelling, 22, was charged after the grand jury added the manslaughter count.

Court records described the baby as wrapped in a towel, placed inside a black trash bag, and hidden in a closet.

Roommates told investigators they heard loud noises from Snelling’s room around 4 a.m., including sounds strong enough to knock a picture from a wall.

Shortly before 9 a.m., she told a Snapchat group the noise came from her passing out and that she planned to seek medical attention. The roommates later entered her room and found the baby, according to search warrant documents.

An indictment obtained by Us Weekly alleged that she intentionally abused the infant and thereby caused death to a person 12 or younger, or who was physically or mentally helpless.

She was not charged with murder because prosecutors determined she was under “extreme emotional disturbance.”

After her initial arrest, she was released on a $100,000 bond and spent months under house arrest at her parents’ property in Jefferson City, Tennessee.

Commonwealth’s Attorney Kimberly Henderson Baird previously called the case “very tragic.”

Former UK cheerleader who gave birth to a baby boy before killing him and stuffing him in a trash bag, sentenced to just 10 years in prison.

Laken Snelling, 22, admitted to ending the life of her newborn baby, saying she was “stressed.”

The boy’s grandparents spoke out about how crushed they were by their grandson’s death.

“As a grandparent, you imagine the memories you’ll make with your grandchildren… You look forward to watching them grow and seeing the person they become,” a woman who said the boy was called McCoy Cade Hall.

“For Cade, those possibilities were taken away before he ever had the chance to experience them.”

The UK cheerleader admitted she deprived the baby of oxygen after the birth.

Snelling’s roommates reportedly found the baby wrapped in a towel and stuffed in a trash bag in her closet after hearing “loud noises” coming from her room.

They said they suspected she may have been hiding a pregnancy.

During a court appearance in August, Snelling appeared to try to blame her decision to end her baby’s life on the fact that she was “under a lot of emotional stress and my baby came unexpectedly.”

Snelling pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter, abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence, and concealing an infant’s birth.

10 years is an absolute joke.

— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) October 16, 2026

First-degree manslaughter is a Class B felony in Kentucky, punishable by 10 to 20 years.

The plea agreement fixed the sentence at the low end of that range.

Americans have long found comfort in the two oceans that separate us from Middle East wars, but the vulnerabilities Iranian cyber operations pose bring these conflicts much closer to home. Through cyber intrusion, Iran has already disrupted our water supply and healthcare sector while continuing to threaten our energy and telecommunications infrastructure. If we fail to force an end to Iran’s cyber warfare, collaborate with our partners to alert the public on Iranian threats, and help communities address key cybersecurity concerns, the Iranian state and cybercriminals may cause irreversible damage to American infrastructure.

Attempting to disrupt U.S. military operations and  the American government, cybercriminals within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) Cyber Economic Command and Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence (MOIS), such as Handala Hack Team, launched direct cyberattacks targeting American troops and officials.  These attacks not only demonstrated Iran’s intent to harm the American warfighter, but also compromise our defense apparatus. Handala claimed responsibility for seizing the personal information of U.S. servicemembers stationed in the Middle East, including details on the F-35 fighter jet, as well as hacking the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations Director’s email.

Iran has also carried out cyberattacks on critical infrastructure in the continental United States, demonstrating its reach and determination to harm noncombatants. Attacking infrastructure can quickly undermine our way of life, such as threatening our school safety, clean water, food access, and heating and cooling systems. In a horrifying incident in March, Handala likely launched the most significant wartime cyberattack against the United States, with hackers claiming to have wiped between 80,000-200,000 devices, prompting surgery delays at hospitals and panic amongst patients nationwide. Then, in July, several American towns issued water advisories after a coordinated cyberattack struck water facilities across the United States, with cybersecurity experts noting that the techniques mirror past Iranian hacking operations.

As Iran openly hacked U.S. infrastructure, the regime also launched cyberattacks on Israel and America’s Arab partners, pressuring them to curtail relations with the United States. While claiming responsibility for cyberattacks on military and critical infrastructure systemsacross the Middle East, including in Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.), Iranian forces also combined cyberoperations with kinetic strikes to maximize their damage. Handala has claimed to have hacked the facility and stolen around 430,000 classified documents.

While the Trump administration has recently expanded the U.S. government’s jurisdiction to combat foreign cybercriminals, Iranian cybergroups’ recent threats to our water, energy, and telecommunications sectors suggest they feel empowered to continue launching attacks.

As U.S. forces in the Middle East combat Iranian missiles and drone attacks on our troops and allies, the United States must counter the full range of Iranian aggression, including the regime’s use of cyberwarfare. Until we do that, Iran will continue to have a means of pressuring the United States and targeting Americans. Therefore, U.S. officials should publicly signal a firm position that Washington will only agree to end the war and will hinge any future deal with Iran if the regime halts cyberattacks on U.S. and partner infrastructure.

But linking a deal may not entirely stop Iran from finding loopholes to resume its malign operations. Therefore, the intelligence community and U.S. foreign partners should exchange common tactics, techniques, and procedures of Iranian cybercriminals and inform the public on these identifying features. By exposing Iran’s common hacking signatures, government’s can prepare their people to recognize and thwart Iran’s operations.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) should lead a nationwide hands-on cybersecurity educational initiative with state, local, and tribal governments, as well as major infrastructure stakeholders, such as telecommunications, water, and energy companies aimed at identifying zero-day vulnerabilities and providing them with the necessary tools and resources to fix them. Within this initiative, any organization CISA assesses to have a direct role in operating our critical infrastructure must meet a series of cybersecurity conditions CISA sets, and must undergo annual reviews ensuring full compliance with CISA safeguards.

Iran’s kinetic attacks and assault on the Strait of Hormuz aren’t the only actions causing international chaos. Iran’s cyber warfare has infiltrated the daily lives of American citizens and disrupted military operations overseas. It is essential that Washington treat any cyberattack targeting our military assets, civilians, and international partners like any other kinetic strike. Therefore, we must hold Iran accountable for its cyberattacks while actively collaborating with our foreign partners and rigorously bolstering our cyber defenses nationwide.

The Justice Department on Monday asked the Court for an emergency restraining order against California, requiring the state to immediately set aside the 20,000 ballots sent to non-citizens.

On Friday, the DOJ put California on notice and vowed to prosecute election officials who tabulate unlawful ballots.

“California on Notice: Federal agencies identified over 20,000 suspected noncitizens registered to vote in California who have already been mailed ballots,” First Assistant US Attorney Bill Essayli said on Friday.

“Under 18 U.S.C. §§ 611 and 2, officials who knowingly tabulate unlawful ballots risk aiding and abetting a federal offense. The Justice Department urges the County and the Secretary of State to temporarily segregate the flagged ballots pending citizenship verification or face legal consequences,” Bill Essayli said.

On Monday, the DOJ requested a restraining order to immediately separate the 20,000 ballots.

“Once illegally cast ballots are counted and commingled with lawful votes, the resulting harm may be impossible to remedy. The urgency is heightened because of the fundamental right to vote and to have one’s lawful vote counted without dilution,” the DOJ said in its request for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO), according to Fox News.

Breaking: the Trump Administration just filed an emergency Temporary Restraining Order against California — asking for CA to immediately set aside the estimated 20,000 ballots the Feds say were given to non-citizen voters. So far CA has not co-operated with DOJ request to set aside those 20k ballots until a judge can rule. CA argues in-part its a political stunt.

TRO reads: “Once illegally cast ballots are counted and commingled with lawful votes, the resulting harm may be impossible to remedy. The urgency is heightened because of the fundamental right to vote and to have one’s lawful vote counted without dilution.”

The emergency request for a TRO comes after the DOJ filed a federal lawsuit against California.

The federal lawsuit, filed in the Central District of California on October 15, requests an order preventing the tabulation of ballots belonging to individuals identified as likely noncitizens until their citizenship can be determined.

The Justice Department said Homeland Security Investigations and federal partners examined voter-registration records and conducted additional verification work to identify potential noncitizens.

On Friday, President Trump vowed to jail the lawbreakers in California if they count ballots for non-citizens: “They will all go to jail for a long period of time!!!”

Russian forces targeted Ukraine’s power grid overnight into October 17 and struck residential districts in Sloviansk and Kherson with aerial bombs, killing civilians and injuring dozens.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia struck more than 15 key power generation and transmission facilities. The assault involved more than 320 Shahed-type drones launched between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m., along with cruise and ballistic missiles. Ukraine’s Air Force reported downing 289 of 332 drones.

The hardest-hit areas included Lutsk, Rivne, Zhytomyr and Vinnytsia. Kharkiv, Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions were also targeted.

At about 3:40 a.m. on October 17, Russian aircraft dropped FAB-250 bombs on a residential district of Sloviansk, damaging nine apartment buildings, according to police. Donetsk Oblast Military Administration head Vadym Filashkin later reported that six people were killed and 13 injured in Sloviansk that day. One person was also killed and another injured in Kramatorsk, bringing the oblast’s toll to seven dead and 14 injured.

Those attacks followed strikes the previous day that killed two people and injured eight in Kramatorsk. In Sloviansk, seven people were injured and five apartment buildings damaged.

Hours after the October 17 attack on Sloviansk, Russian aircraft dropped eight guided bombs on Kherson’s Korabelnyi district in two strikes within an hour. The second strike hit after medics arrived, killing an ambulance driver.

The city military administration reported 22 people injured, including a one-month-old infant and an 11-year-old child. The State Emergency Service said ten apartment buildings were damaged and rescuers pulled seven injured people from the rubble.

Across Kherson Oblast, regional police reported 43 people injured on October 17, including three children, two medics and two rescuers. The previous day, attacks killed one person and injured 16 others, including two children, according to regional governor Oleksandr Prokudin. Those strikes damaged ten apartment buildings, a private house and a supermarket.

In Kharkiv region, which has faced repeated strikes on bridges and towns, Russian forces attacked Kharkiv city and 10 settlements with six missiles, a guided bomb, a Lancet drone, four FPV drones and 142 other drones. The attacks injured 41 people, including a 13-year-old girl and two boys aged 12 and 13. In Kharkiv city, a 71-year-old woman and a 58-year-old man were killed. Four apartment buildings, a dormitory, warehouses and ten cars were damaged.

Russian forces attacked Dnipropetrovsk Oblast almost 20 times, killing one person in Dnipro and injuring four on the city’s outskirts. An industrial enterprise caught fire in Kryvyi Rih.

In Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Russian forces carried out 563 strikes on 57 settlements, including 21 airstrikes and 379 drone attacks, injuring six people.

Sumy Oblast, where Russian bombs recently wounded dozens, came under more than 30 attacks targeting 16 settlements. Eight civilians were injured.

Far from the front, Russian attacks injured six people and damaged civilian and critical infrastructure in Vinnytsia region, according to regional head Natalia Zabolotna. She said air defenses shot down 24 drones. In Rivne region, a strike on an enterprise started a fire and injured two people. In Lutsk, the German-owned Kromberg & Schubert plant halted operations after drone strikes.

A strike on an energy facility in Chernihiv region left nearly 19,000 customers without power. In Odesa region, Russian forces hit a recreation area, damaging holiday homes and cars but causing no casualties, according to Governor Oleh Kiper.

The capital, where drones recently struck a school, came under combined missile and drone attacks from the evening of October 18 into October 19. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that a 21-year-old woman was killed and five people were injured in Solomianskyi district. A metro station was also damaged. In nearby Irpin, one woman was killed and 19 people were injured, including nine children.

On the diplomatic front, President Donald Trump issued an executive order on October 16 waiving sanctions under the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, citing the “national interests of the United States.” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said, “Enforcing the sanctions provisions now would impede ongoing U.S. efforts” toward a peace deal. Zelensky responded, “This Act could have helped enormously – and still can!”

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said Slovakia would not contribute to the €70 billion ($79 billion) in aid Ukraine requested from the EU for 2027. He added that Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar shared that position.

Zelensky also warned that Russia wanted to deploy ballistic missiles in Belarus to strike western Ukraine, saying this would mean “directly dragging Belarus into this war.”

The Justice Department on Monday morning charged 28 non-citizens for registering to vote in California.

11 of the defendants have been arrested so far.

Via the Justice Department:

Federal law enforcement throughout California today arrested 11 foreign nationals living in the United States who are charged in criminal complaints with federal crimes, including that they fraudulently registered to vote in U.S. elections, electoral contests in which most of them cast illegal and fraudulently obtained ballots.

Today’s arrests are part of “Operation Protect the Vote” – a coordinated effort among all four California-based United States Attorney’s Offices to combat and root out fraud in U.S. elections and protect electoral integrity.

All 28 foreign nationals charged are lawful permanent residents (LPRs), or “green card” holders. Although LPRs have legal immigration status in the United States, they are not U.S. citizens and are not permitted to vote in U.S. elections.

The criminal charges include making false statements in a naturalization application and some of the defendants also are charged with fraudulent voter registration. Both charges are felonies that carry a statutory maximum sentence of five years in federal prison.

First Assistant US Attorney Bill Essayli announced the arrests and charges on Monday during a press conference.

“Today’s arrests prove what we have been saying,” said Essayli.

“California is mailing ballots to noncitizens, and they are refusing to comply with federal law, which makes it a crime for noncitizens to vote. The voting rights of American citizens must be protected,” Essayli added.

“Every illegal vote cancels out the vote of a lawful American citizen,” said Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter.

“Each of the 28 defendants charged today appears on the list of more than 20,000 likely noncitizen registrants we provided to California election officials last week. California refused to look at that list. Today’s charges show exactly what that refusal puts at risk. California must verify the citizenship of those more than 20,000 registrants before mail-in ballots are counted,” McCotter said.

“These are not isolated instances,” Essayli said.

WATCH:

BREAKING: Federal authorities have begun arresting 28 noncitizens accused of illegally registering to vote in the U.S., with prosecutors saying many actually cast ballots in previous elections.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli says the arrests began early this morning, with at least 11 suspects already in custody and more arrests expected.

The new charges come as the DOJ reports charging 113 noncitizens across 20 states with illegal voting and registration offenses in just seven weeks.

“These are not isolated instances,” Essayli says, revealing that the Justice Department has charged 156 people with voting fraud-related offenses since the administration began, adding that federal authorities are investigating thousands of additional potential cases nationwide.
