FBI & DEA Raid Mayor’s Office in New York — 1.1 Tons Fentanyl Seized, 1,240 Arrested | US Military

Before dawn, FBI and DEA agents stormed the New York Mayor’s Office, uncovering 1.1 tons of fentanyl and arresting 1,240 suspects. The raid was supported by US Military surveillance and intelligence units. For months, US Military cyber teams tracked cartel-linked payments flowing into political offices. When the operation began, US Military aircraft provided overwatch as ground teams breached the building. Officials confirmed that US Military data analysts identified the smuggling routes tied to multiple city officials.

Charlie Kirk’s Killer Arrested | FBI Director Reveals Startling New Details

The assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, exposing a web of radicalization, personal secrets, and partisan finger-pointing. Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA and a key Trump ally, was fatally shot in the neck during a Q&A session on his "American Comeback Tour." The event, attended by about 3,000 people, turned chaotic as a single gunshot rang out from a rooftop 200 yards away, moments after Kirk responded "Too many" to a question about transgender mass shooters over the past decade. Video footage captured the suspect fleeing the rooftop, jumping into nearby woods, sparking a 33-hour manhunt that ended with the arrest of 22-year-old Tyler Robinson from southern Utah. Robinson, described as a white male from a traditional Judeo-Christian upbringing in Washington, Utah, was turned in by his family after they recognized him from FBI surveillance images. His father, a veteran police officer, confronted him after he confessed, though Robinson reportedly replied, "I would rather kill myself than turn myself in." Now held without bail on charges of aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, and felony discharge of a firearm, Robinson faces the death penalty, with Utah Governor Spencer Cox vowing to pursue it aggressively. Utah law allows execution by lethal injection or, under specific conditions, firing squad—the method sparking online debates for its visibility as a deterrent. New revelations paint Robinson as living a double life, deeply radicalized in a "fairly short amount of time" from his conservative roots. Sources confirm he resided with a transgender partner, identified in some reports as Lance Twiggs, a biological male transitioning to female and part of the furry community. This roommate is fully cooperating with the FBI, providing pivotal texts and Discord chats from an account named "Tyler" that discussed a rifle "drop point," hiding the weapon, and bullet casings matching those at the scene—engraved with anti-fascist phrases like lyrics from the Italian song "Bella Ciao," video game memes, and slang tied to online leftist and transgender culture (though early "trans ideology" claims were debunked). These communications solidified Robinson's guilt, with investigators probing his exposure to far-left, Antifa-influenced materials and a "180-degree turn" toward radical ideology, including disdain for right-wing politics. A family dinner conversation reportedly revealed his rage, calling Kirk "full of hate." No direct link to Kirk's trans comments exists, but speculation swirls amid unverified social media claims. Online backlash exploded with edited photos falsely linking Robinson to Trump and MAGA, fueling debates: "See, he wasn't Black or trans... or a secret Trump fan." Conservatives decry it as leftist disinformation, while the left rejects blame, pointing to white supremacist trends in shootings. Reactions underscore the tragedy's global ripple. Conservative commentator Benny Johnson, on Fox News with Jesse Watters, expressed fury, calling Kirk a martyr whose death will "only grow the America First movement," vowing commitment to his legacy. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), on The Breakfast Club, insisted Democrats' hands are "clean," denouncing violence while defending rhetoric like calling Trump a "wannabe Hitler" and slamming MAGA for immediate blame, citing white supremacy stats. Former cybersecurity official Mike Benz escalated calls for consequences, stating it's "time for public firing squad so people see with their own eyes there are consequences for bad behavior." Kirk's influence extends abroad. Elon Musk highlighted a massive "Unite the Kingdom" rally in London—drawing 110,000—demanding Britain "kick out illegals" and "Make England Great Again," while honoring Kirk and blasting the left as the "party of murder." In South Korea, a key U.S. ally, young conservatives rallied for Kirk and freedom, holding vigils at the MacArthur Statue in Incheon with Korean and American flags, pledging to carry his legacy through ongoing marches. Kirk had just visited Seoul for the Build Up Korea conference, inspiring youth against "globalist menaces." As the FBI probe deepens, Robinson's surrender marks a grim chapter in rising political violence—over 150 incidents in early 2025 alone. Kirk's death, far from silencing his message, amplifies calls for truth and accountability. Thanks for liking and sharing to spread the word—help get the truth out there. (Word count: 498)

Illegal immigrant who threatened to kill Trump arrested by ICE agents

3:51 PM – Wednesday, May 28, 2025

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested an illegal alien who allegedly sought to kill President Donald Trump prior to self-deporting to Mexico.

Ramon Morales-Reyes, a Mexican national, was arrested on May 22nd after an ICE field officer received a threatening letter from Morales-Reyes targeting President Trump.

“We are tired of this president messing with us Mexicans – we have done more for this country than you white people,” Morales-Reyes reportedly wrote. “You have been deporting my family and I think it is time Donald J. Trump get what he has coming to him.”

“I will self deport myself back to Mexico, but not before I use my 30 yard 6 to shoot your precious president in his head – I will see him at one of his big ralleys,” he continued.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Morales-Reyes’ arrest on Wednesday, calling on politicians and the media to “tone down their rhetoric.”

“Thanks to our ICE officers, this illegal alien who threatened to assassinate President Trump is behind bars,” Noem stated.

“This threat comes not even a year after President Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania and less than two weeks after former FBI Director Comey called for the President’s assassination. All politicians and members of the media should take notice of these repeated attempts on President Trump’s life and tone down their rhetoric. I will continue to take all measures necessary to ensure the protection of President Trump,” she added.

Morales-Reyes, 54, reportedly illegally entered the United States nine times between 1998 and 2005, and has since racked up a criminal record including a felony hit-and-run, criminal damage to property, as well as disorderly conduct with a domestic abuse modifier.

Morales-Reyes is currently being held at Dodge County Jail in Juneau, Wisconsin, pending deportation proceedings.

In response to a criminal complaint alleging that a 25-year-old Georgia man named Aliakbar Mohammad Amin transmitted interstate threats to harm Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard and her husband, Amin has been arrested and charged.

“Threatening to harm public officials is a criminal act that cannot be excused as political discourse,” stated Acting U.S. Attorney Richard S. Moultrie, Jr. “Our Office, in coordination with our law enforcement partners, will vigorously prosecute individuals who commit these acts of violence.”

“The FBI sees all threatening communications as a serious federal offense. We will employ every investigative tool and resource available to identify those responsible and ensure they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” stated Paul Brown, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. “Let this arrest serve as a clear warning: if you engage in this kind of criminal behavior, you will be caught and you will go to prison.”

Acting U.S. Attorney Moultrie stated in the complaint, attached as evidence in court, that Amin reportedly conveyed threats against DNI Gabbard and her husband by text message between March 29th and April 1st, 2025.

Some of these threats included the messages:

  • “You and your family are going to die soon” and “I will personally do the job if necessary.”
  • “Death to America means death to America literally, Tulsi is living on borrowed time.
  • “The home you two own. . . is a legitimate target and will be hit at a time and place of our choosing.”
  • “Prepare to die, you, Tulsi, and everyone you hold dear. America will burn.”

Similar threats purportedly made by Amin were also discovered by federal authorities throughout the investigation in his social media posts, including one that showed a firearm being aimed at a picture of Gabbard, and another that showed a firearm aimed at a picture of both Gabbard and her husband.

Later, while carrying out a warrant search of Amin’s residence, federal officials found the firearm.

On April 11th, 2025, Amin, 25, of Lilburn, Georgia, was charged with violating Title 18, United States Code, Section 875(c) in a criminal complaint that had previously been sealed.

After his first appearance in federal court, a U.S. Magistrate Judge ordered him to be held pending trial.

An image of Amin has not yet been released by federal authorities.

Operation Take Back America is a nationwide effort that uses all of the Department of Justice’s resources to combat illegal immigration, eradicate cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), shielding U.S. communities from violent crime perpetrators. This case is part of that effort.

Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) and the Department’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) pool their resources and efforts under Operation Take Back America.

“For further information please contact the U.S. Attorney’s Public Affairs Office at USAGAN.PressEmails@usdoj.gov or (404) 581-6280.  The Internet address for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia is http://www.justice.gov/usao-ndga,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office – Northern District of Georgia.

Correction- 4/15/25- 3:30 pm: Amin has since turned 25 since his arrest. One America News (OAN) has corrected the age of 24 to 25.

Police: 2 Mexican Nationals Arrested After Being Accused Of Molesting Minor In Cruise Sauna, Now ‘On Immigration Holds’

Two Mexican nationals, who are now on immigration holds, were arrested after being accused of molesting a 14-year-old boy in a sauna while on board a Royal Caribbean cruise ship.

An immigration hold, also known as an ICE detainer, is a request from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to local law enforcement agencies to hold an individual in custody for up to 48 hours beyond their scheduled release, allowing ICE to take custody for potential deportation proceedings.

According to jail records, both men have now been jailed without bond and are on immigration holds.

On Friday, two Mexican nationals, Jose Prudencio Diaz, 36, and Ricardo Daniel Mondragon Leal, 37, were arrested.

They now face several charges, including lewd and lascivious molestation on a child 12-16 years old. One of the men is also facing an additional charge of sexual battery, while the other faces an additional charge for not revealing his HIV status to the minor.

According to arrest reports from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, the crimes occurred on Thursday, March 20th.

The 14-year-old victim informed detectives that he was aboard the Royal Caribbean cruise ship “Independence of the Seas” and he was present in the sauna area alongside Diaz and Leal.

The victim explained to police that while he was in the sauna room with the two men, both suspects proceeded to pleasure themselves in front of him — according to the report.

The report goes on to detail how Diaz and Leal then began touching the victim while using certain fear tactics to force him to touch them back. Leal then purportedly forced the victim to perform a sex act on him while molesting the minor — according to the complaint.

The arrest report also noted that Leal performed oral sex on the victim as well.

“The defendant in this case, acting in concert with another defendant, they were both on a cruise,” a prosecutor said in court. “This shows that they tried to target a specific minority, and this could be done again.”

11:50 AM – Monday, March 24, 2025

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reportedly arrested 370 illegal aliens in Boston, Massachusetts, and surrounding areas this past week — after border czar Tom Homan previously promised to “bring hell” to Boston.

Regarding Boston, Homan also warned in November 2024 that “if you don’t want to work with us, then get the hell out of the way." We’re going to do it. What it means is, rather than sending 100 people to Boston, we’re going to send 200 agents to Boston. We’re going to get the job done.”

Homan said that the most recent joint operation lasted for 5-days and included multiple agencies, including ICE, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), a number of U.S. Marshals, and the U.S. Diplomatic Security Service.

“I made a promise at CPAC that I was going to Boston after reading about the numerous illegal alien child rapists walking the streets of Boston and Massachusetts. ICE had to find and arrest these illegal alien rapists because Massachusetts and Boston are sanctuaries that refuse to cooperate with ICE,” Homan wrote in a Monday X post.

“They would rather release these animals back into the community rather than honor ICE detainers or notify ICE when they are scheduled to be released.  Mayor Wu later testified that I was lying. Well, I traveled to Boston last Tuesday, as promised, and we kicked off a five-day operation with ICE, FBI, ATF, DEA, US Marshals and DSS. These incredible men and women arrested a total of 370 illegal aliens in Boston and surrounding areas.  The majority of the 370 being significant criminals,” he continued.

Homan went on to explain that out of the 370 arrests, six of them were “foreign fugitives” and four of them were “wanted for murder or to serve a criminal sentence for murder, along with drug traffickers, child sexual predators and numerous other violent public safety threats.”

“These officers and agents have made the neighborhoods of Boston and Massachusetts much safer.  They risked their own safety by arresting these criminals on the street, rather than a jail. Governor Healey and Mayor Wu should be ashamed of supporting sanctuary policies.  Releasing public safety threats back into the public, rather than working with ICE at the jails, puts the public at great risk,” Homan added.

Homan’s condemnation of Boston Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu followed after she slammed him for criticizing the city’s police commissioner, who had released nine child rapists from jail. Boston’s “sanctuary” status, according to Wu, is crucial to ensuring that illegals in the city feel at ease and are thriving.

“I read a story last night that the police commissioner of Boston, you said you’d double down on not helping ICE law enforcement officers of ICE. I’m coming to Boston. I’m bringing hell with me. I looked at the numbers this morning; I stopped counting at nine. Nine child rapists who were in jail in Massachusetts, but rather than honoring an ICE detainer, released them back onto the street. You’re not the police commissioner; take that badge off your chest and put it in the desk drawer. You became a politician,” Homan stated at the Conservative Political Action Conference in February.

“President Trump’s ‘all of government effort’ to arrest and remove the WORST FIRST is making our communities safer every day.  President Trump is a Game Changer who is keeping his promises to the American people. Much more to do, but it will be done!”
