A Guatemalan illegal alien released into the United States under the Biden regime has been charged with manslaughter after allegedly striking a mother and her two children in a New Jersey grocery-store parking lot, killing her 9-month-old baby boy.

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed to LibsofTikTok that 20-year-old Maria CobonGuzman is a Guatemalan national who illegally entered the United States in 2023 and was released into the country by the Biden administration.

DHS said CobonGuzman received a final order of removal just one month before the fatal crash.

She was still in the United States.

This is the deadly legacy of Joe Biden’s open-border disaster: Millions of illegal aliens were allowed into American communities while immigration cases crawled through a broken system.

On Friday, August 28, at approximately 11:55 a.m., Jackson Township police responded to a report of pedestrians being struck outside the NPGS grocery store on West County Line Road.

According to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, CobonGuzman was driving a Ford Fusion through the parking lot when she allegedly struck a mother pushing a carriage carrying her 5-year-old daughter and 9-month-old son.

All three victims were rushed to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune.

The baby boy was pronounced dead at the hospital. His mother and 5-year-old sister remained hospitalized in stable condition.

Local Jewish news outlets identified the baby as Yitzchok Rosenberg. The Lakewood Scoop reported that federal immigration authorities have now lodged detainers against both women charged in connection with the tragedy.

Investigators determined that CobonGuzman had never possessed a valid driver’s license, not in New Jersey and not in any other state.

CobonGuzman was charged with:

• Manslaughter
• Operating a motor vehicle without ever having possessed or been issued a valid driver’s license while involved in a fatal crash
• Two counts of assault by auto

A second woman, 22-year-old Ariadna Lazaro-Flores of Toms River, was charged with knowingly engaging in conduct creating a substantial risk of death to another.

Investigators allege Lazaro-Flores knew CobonGuzman had never possessed a driver’s license but allowed her to operate the vehicle anyway.

DHS confirmed that Lazaro-Flores is also an illegal alien. She is a Mexican national who illegally entered the United States in 2023.

Both women were taken into custody and transported to the Ocean County Jail, where they were being held pending detention hearings.

The Gateway Pundit has repeatedly reported on the deadly consequences of illegal aliens operating vehicles on American roads.

In July, The Gateway Pundit reported that an illegal alien who had already been deported three times was charged in a North Carolina crash that killed 6-year-old Calli Toler and injured her mother and another child.

The Gateway Pundit also reported on an unlicensed illegal-alien semi-truck driver accused of running a red light in Indiana and causing a three-vehicle crash that badly injured a woman and her 3-year-old grandchild.

Now another American family is shattered.

A baby is dead. A mother and her young daughter are hospitalized. And the woman accused of causing the tragedy was allegedly released into America by the Biden administration, remained here after receiving a final removal order, and had never legally been permitted to drive.

The investigation remains ongoing. The charges are allegations, and both defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Governor Kathy Hochul has announced that New York will not recognize President Donald Trump’s order renaming Lake Ontario as Lake America, calling the move “absurd” and a “deflection” from grocery bills and energy costs.

Trump responded by declaring that Hochul is “for Canada” and “doesn’t care about New York.”

On Thursday afternoon, Trump signed an executive order directing the Interior Department and the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to update the Geographic Names Information System so federal maps and documents use “Lake America,” effective immediately.

The change applies only to federal usage. This means that the order does not bind Canada, New York state agencies, or international mapmakers to using the new name.

The move comes amid a trade fight with Canada after talks broke down and the Trump administration imposed heavy new tariffs.

Hochul responded to the news in a post on X, writing that “New York won’t be calling it that.”

In an NY1 interview, she went further, saying, “I’m speechless. It is so patently absurd. Shame on them for deflecting from the real needs that Americans are feeling that we have here in New York. The high cost of energy, prescription drugs, utility bills, groceries. And this is what the president spends his time on? Renaming a lake that was named after our Indigenous peoples. Shame on you.”

Trump responded on Truth Social, writing that, “Governor Kathy Hochul is for Canada, a Country that has been ripping off New York State for years, especially under her Administration, instead of the good ‘ol U.S.A. Can you imagine her saying that she won’t respect or acknowledge LAKE AMERICA. That’s why the Dumocrats are so bad for our Country. Vote for Bruce Blakeman for Governor of New York. He has my Complete and Total Endorsement, and will never let you down! President DJT”

About half the lake’s surface sits in Canada and the rest along New York’s northern shore.

Other governors, including Wisconsin’s Tony Evers and Vermont’s Phil Scott, have also criticized the order.

Canadian officials also said they would not use the new name.

The Washington legal establishment has dealt President Trump’s senior adviser Peter Navarro another blow, but Navarro says the constitutional battle is far from over.

The full U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on Friday denied Navarro’s petition for rehearing en banc, leaving intact a three-judge panel’s decision upholding his criminal contempt-of-Congress conviction.

The court’s terse, one-page order revealed that not a single judge requested a vote on whether the full court should reconsider the case. The court denied Navarro’s petition without further explanation while granting motions to file supporting amicus briefs.

The ruling now clears the way for Navarro to petition the United States Supreme Court.

Navarro issued a blistering response following the decision:

“This case was always headed to the Supreme Court. Deep Blue D.C. Circuit’s denial simply clears the runway. The issue is bigger than me: whether a White House adviser — Republican or Democrat — can be prosecuted and imprisoned for acting on a good-faith belief that a President invoked executive privilege, while being forbidden from presenting that belief to the jury. That is a separation-of-powers question the Supreme Court will now have a chance to answer.”

Navarro’s attorneys have argued that the government should have been required to prove that he knew his refusal to comply was unlawful, or that he acted with an improper purpose, not merely that his noncompliance was intentional.

They also maintain that Navarro’s good-faith understanding of President Trump’s executive-privilege instruction should have been presented to the jury. The court rejected Navarro’s request for full-court review on August 28.

Navarro was convicted in September 2023 on two counts of criminal contempt after refusing to produce documents and appear for testimony before Nancy Pelosi and Liz Cheney’s partisan January 6 Committee.

Navarro maintained that President Trump had directed him to protect executive privilege. Yet Obama-appointed District Judge Amit Mehta barred Navarro from presenting his good-faith executive-privilege belief as a defense to the jury.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Mehta sentenced Navarro to four months in federal prison and ordered him to pay a $9,500 fine.

Before sentencing, Navarro explained the impossible position in which he had been placed:

“When I received that congressional subpoena, the second, I had an honest belief that the privilege had been invoked, and I was torn. Nobody in my position should be put in conflict between the legislative branch and the executive branch.”

Navarro also condemned a process in which the government was permitted to prosecute him while preventing him from explaining his central defense to the jury.

The D.C. Circuit nevertheless affirmed his conviction in July. The three-judge panel concluded that only the president or an authorized representative can invoke executive privilege and upheld Mehta’s finding that no sufficiently formal invocation had been established for the specific January 6 Committee subpoena.

The panel further ruled that even a proper privilege claim would not have justified Navarro’s complete refusal to appear or produce materials, particularly information involving his public statements and writings.

The case took an extraordinary turn after President Trump returned to office.

Trump’s Justice Department informed the appeals court that it was no longer taking the Biden administration’s position in the case and withdrew its brief defending Navarro’s conviction. The DOJ, however, did not file a new brief or formally move to dismiss the appeal.

The D.C. Circuit then declared that the government had withdrawn from further participation and proceeded to hear Navarro’s appeal with Navarro standing alone.

Despite the federal government no longer defending the Biden-era prosecution, the court upheld the conviction anyway.

The Gateway Pundit has extensively documented the campaign against Navarro. In 2025, the Justice Department dropped a separate Biden-era lawsuit accusing him of improperly retaining presidential records.

That case was tainted by internal communications showing anti-Trump FBI officials discussing, and apparently celebrating, Navarro’s indictment.

Navarro has already served every day of his four-month sentence. But the constitutional danger created by his prosecution remains.

If presidential advisers can be imprisoned for honoring what they sincerely understand to be an executive-privilege instruction—and then be forbidden from explaining that understanding to a jury—future advisers from either political party could face the same trap.

The prison sentence has been served. The constitutional battle is only beginning.

Navarro is now taking that battle to the Supreme Court.

According to Crosswalk, Intercession or intercessory prayer is the act of praying to God on behalf of others or asking a saint in heaven to pray on behalf of oneself or for others.

And, we were able to find more about sweet Simon.

According to Grok:

Simón is a rescued mixed-breed dog who lives at the Parroquia Santo Domingo Savio in Villavicencio, Colombia (Covisan neighborhood). He became widely known in late August 2026 after a video showed him joining an intercessory prayer.

Simón is not a random visitor. He and his mother Luna have lived with Father Carlos for more than six years and are affectionately called the parish’s “perritos monaguillos” (little altar-boy dogs).

Luna was rescued around late 2019 when the priest found abandoned puppies while visiting a sick person. She later had a litter of four; Father Carlos kept one puppy so mother and son could stay together and named him Simón.

The pair follow the priest through Masses, sit near the altar, and have been known to howl or bark along with the hymns (an earlier viral video showed them “singing” with the congregation). Simón has also been seen kneeling beside the priest or placing his paws in a prayer-like position. In one case their barking alerted people that an elderly parishioner had fainted.

The Gateway Pundit located Simon and his mother Luna singing with the congregation at church.

The revolution apparently ends when the landlord wakes up.

Portland’s self-proclaimed “president of Antifa” just ran into a force more powerful than a black-bloc mob: an angry landlord who wanted peace inside her own home.

Michael James Duntley, 59, better known in Portland protest circles as “Spider Mike,” “Big Spider Mike,” or “Wider Mike,” was captured on a profanity-laced livestream arguing with a woman who identified herself as his landlord after she confronted him over screaming, yelling, and banging things around in a garage.

The woman said Duntley was terrifying her.

Duntley’s excuse? He and his online buddies were simply “having a good time.”

The landlord told Duntley that he was drinking, wearing a wig, slamming things around, and frightening people inside the residence. When Duntley barked, “Call the cops!” she delivered the line of the night: “I already did.”

That did not inspire any sudden display of maturity.

Duntley instead shouted at her to “shut the f— up” and “get the f— out,” while one of his livestream companions mocked the woman for calling police.

Imagine that: the supposed “president of Antifa” needed a digital cheering section while berating a woman inside her own home.

Peak beta.

The landlord then reminded Duntley that she had given him a place to live after he had previously been kicked out.

“You did me a favor six f—ing years ago,” Duntley snapped before ordering her to go to sleep.

So much for “mutual aid.” So much for respecting women. So much for the brave revolutionary code.

Last week Antifa meatball in Portland Spider (Wider) Mike got dropped by a Patriot.

Here he is on live stream getting evicted out of some ladies garage.

You would think Antifa would handle this retard for making them look so very Beta.

I’ve watched this 20 times.…

Here’s the footage of police arriving at the residence:

Duntley is a regular at radical anti-ICE demonstrations outside the Portland ICE facility in the city’s South Waterfront neighborhood.

He has publicly described himself as an Antifa leader and even the “President of Antifa”—an entirely self-appointed title that apparently comes with no salary, no headquarters, and no housing.

His publicly reported history is considerably less amusing than his latest landlord meltdown.

Here’s a video of Duntley wearing a wig:

On January 31, Duntley was accused of knocking an elderly disabled veteran known as “Captain Jerry” from his mobility scooter during a confrontation outside the ICE facility.

Video circulated online appearing to show the veteran being knocked from his chair and striking the pavement. Despite the footage, Duntley was not prosecuted over that incident, according to The Post Millennial.

Then, on March 5, Duntley was filmed using his truck to rip a city stop sign from the ground near the ICE facility. The footage showed Duntley attaching a chain to the sign before pulling it away with the vehicle.

The Portland Police Bureau later confirmed Duntley’s arrest on charges of reckless endangering, second-degree criminal mischief, and second-degree disorderly conduct.

Duntley ultimately pleaded guilty to reckless endangering. The disorderly conduct and criminal mischief charges were dismissed.

In July, Multnomah County Circuit Court Judge Andrew Lavin sentenced him to one year of supervised probation and ordered him to remain at least 300 feet away from the Portland ICE building.

A former White House teleprompter operator who enjoyed advance access to President Donald Trump’s prepared speeches has been ordered to surrender more than $107,000 in trading profits and pay an additional $65,000 civil penalty.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced Friday that Gabriel Perez must pay a total of $172,539.02 after the agency found he exploited material, nonpublic information obtained through his federal government employment.

Perez was also slapped with a three-year trading ban and ordered to cease and desist from further violations of federal commodities laws.

According to the CFTC’s official announcement, Perez traded so-called “presidential mention market contracts” on the prediction platform Kalshi.

These contracts allowed users to bet “Yes” or “No” on whether President Trump would utter particular words or phrases during public speeches.

Perez had one enormous advantage over ordinary traders: He operated the president’s teleprompter and could review Trump’s prepared remarks before they were delivered.

The CFTC found that Perez used that privileged access “in breach of his duty of trust and confidence” to generate $107,539.02 in profits.

The agency’s detailed settlement order reveals that Perez typically received access to President Trump’s speeches approximately one hour before the president took the stage.

He then allegedly placed “Yes” wagers when he saw that a targeted word appeared in the prepared remarks and “No” wagers when the word was absent.

According to federal regulators, Perez traded in 14 separate Trump mention markets and made profitable trades on 39 of the 43 contracts he purchased.

The markets covered Trump speeches and appearances in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Iowa and Georgia, along with the president’s address to the World Economic Forum, the National Prayer Breakfast, the State of the Union and a Medal of Honor ceremony.

On one occasion, Perez even changed his trading position after observing that President Trump had deviated from the prepared text or skipped the portion containing a word Perez had bet would be mentioned.

In other words, Perez was allegedly attempting to adjust his wagers in real time as President Trump went off script.

Perez began working as Trump’s teleprompter operator during the 2016 presidential campaign. He later joined the first Trump administration in 2018 as a special assistant to the president and technical adviser.

As an executive branch employee, Perez was subject to federal ethics standards prohibiting government employees from using nonpublic information for private financial gain.

Perez settled the administrative case without admitting the CFTC’s findings or legal conclusions.

The $65,000 civil penalty represented what regulators described as a substantial discount because of Perez’s “exemplary cooperation” with the investigation. He must also return every dollar of the $107,539.02 in profits identified by the agency.

The CFTC thanked KalshiEX for assisting investigators.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Kalshi’s surveillance team flagged Perez’s unusual trading activity and referred the matter to federal regulators.

The Gateway Pundit reported in July that Perez had allegedly wagered on more than a dozen Trump speeches and was accused of backing out of certain bets while the president was still speaking.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed at the time that President Trump had personally been briefed on the allegations.

“He believes it’s deeply unfortunate and, frankly, a disgrace,” Leavitt said.

Perez was subsequently placed on unpaid administrative leave. He is no longer employed by the federal government, although officials have not publicly stated whether he resigned or was fired, according to ABC News.

The Trump White House did not attempt to protect Perez once the allegations surfaced. He was removed from his duties, cooperated with regulators and is now being forced to surrender his profits, pay a substantial penalty and remain out of federally regulated trading markets for three years.
