According to federal authorities, two brothers of the Venezuelan illegal alien who attacked and murdered 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, will be deported along with their former roommate — after entering a guilty plea to being in possession of fraudulent green cards.

In a case that turned into a hot spot over illegal immigration, Jose Ibarra, 27, was found guilty in November of murder and other charges related to Riley’s death. He was given a life sentence without the prospect of release.

According to the Justice Department, his brother, Diego Ibarra, 29, was arrested after providing a fake green card to a police officer investigating the February 2024 murder.

A news release from the department explained that agents also discovered fake Social Security cards for Jose Ibarra’s brother, Argenis Ibarra, 25, and roommate Rosbelis Flores-Bello, 29, in the apartment they lived in with Diego and Jose.

Additionally, the brothers admitted to police that they had fraudulent green cards in their possession.

Diego Ibarra pleaded guilty in July to two charges of possessing a fraudulent document and was sentenced on Wednesday to four years in federal prison. After serving his term, the department said he will be turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for deportation.

Argenis and Flores-Bello pleaded guilty to one count of possessing a fraudulent document, and on Wednesday, they were each sentenced.

The news release stated that they would be handed over to ICE for deportation immediately. However, those deportation measures were not explained in detail in the announcement.

Diego Ibarra’s numerous “gang-affiliated” tattoos and social media posts showing him holding up gang signs while dressed in certain attire have led federal officials to conclude that he is connected to the Venezuelan group Tren de Aragua (TdA), which has been responsible for a slew of robberies, kidnappings, drug smuggling, sex trafficking, and allegedly shooting two New York Police officers — according to InSight Crime.

“[After illegally entering the U.S.] Tren de Aragua began to systematically exploit Venezuelan migrants, charging them money and clandestinely taking them to Colombia,” InSight Crime reported. “They began taking control of various nodes of the human trafficking market with the objective of sexual exploitation.”

However, a number of American citizens have also suffered at the hands of TATP members as well, such as Laken Riley.

“Violent criminal organizations and transnational gangs like Tren de Aragua are a plague upon our communities that rely on fear and violence to reign terror on hardworking, law-abiding residents,” stated HSI Dallas Acting Special Agent in Charge Travis Pickard. “By coming together as a law enforcement community to successfully locate and arrest these fugitives across state lines, we have sent a resounding message that we are united in our efforts to dismantle these violent criminal networks and put an end to the lawlessness that they spread.”

Tren de Aragua previously issued a “green light” to its fellow gang members to attack and fire upon U.S. law enforcement officers.

Following the death of Laken Riley, Republicans created the Laken Riley Act, a bill that “requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to detain certain non-U.S. nationals (aliens under federal law) who have been arrested for burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting. The bill also authorizes states to sue the federal government for decisions or alleged failures related to immigration enforcement,” according to the 118th Congress.

Two Cases That Pam Bondi Should Revisit

On Friday, President Donald Trump issued an executive order demanding Attorney General Pam Bondi review any litigation that might have violated an American’s Second Amendment rights. Many cases could be reviewed, but a few stand out as violating not only someone’s right to bear arms but also free speech and entrapment.

The first case that the Department of Justice might review is the AutoKeyCard case. The case involves Kristopher Justin Irvin, who sold a novelty metal card with an image of a lightning bolt to inspire conversations about gun laws. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) saw the card and decided it was a machinegun conversion device (MCD). The ATF would arrest Mr. Irvin and charge him with violating the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA).

After Mr. Irvin was arrested, Matthew Hoover started raising money for his defense. Mr. Hoover ran a successful YouTube channel CRS Firearms. During Irvin’s time in business, he contracted Hoover to advertise the item on his YouTube channel. At no time was Mr. Hoover in business with Irvin, but the ATF didn’t appreciate actions to help Irvin defend himself in court.

The ATF would issue and execute an arrest warrant for Hoover, claiming that he and Irvin had entered a conspiracy to distribute machine guns. ATF attorney Laura Coffer Taylor contended that the fundraising for Irvin’s defense was the two trying to defeat the government so the two could continue to profit from selling machine guns. Mr. Hoover was also accused of distributing machine guns even though Irvin only sponsored his channel, and Hoover in no way sold the item.

Is the AutoKeyCard an MCD? The ATF told the court it was even though they could not get the device to function as a lightning link. When cut out along the lines, the ATF failed to get the device to fire automatically. This failure was due to the image not having the correct dimensions. The ATF materially altered the card by cutting outside the lines. That means their argument was based on the card being metal and how it was advertised. They argued that it didn’t matter that it didn’t work. They said the men thought they would, and that was intent.

The ATF never got the card to work correctly, even after cutting it out. They did get a hammer follow, which is a malfunction that causes the hammer to follow the bolt carrier back into battery after a shot is fired. This malfunction can happen for many reasons and does not indicate automatic fire.

The men’s lawyers were also prohibited from making a Second Amendment defense. The court limited their arguments, which adversely affected their defense. State’s Attorney Laura Coffey Taylor also filed an order to try to gag this reporter from reporting on documents that AmmoLand News legally received. Gun Owners of America (GOA) defended my right to freedom of the press. Ultimately, the ATF dropped their motion to gag me after a show of force in the courtroom by GOA attorneys.

Both men were found guilty and sentenced to five years in prison for a piece of non-functional art resembling an MCD. There is an ongoing appeal. The Department of Justice (DOJ) can step in and stop the violation of the men’s Second Amendment rights and their First Amendment rights.

The second case involves a Navy Sailor named Patrick Tate Adamiak. Mr. Adamiak served in the Navy with pride and also sold firearms part kits part-time. A confidential informant (CI) working for the ATF contacted Adamiak for help brokering a deal for a demilled machine gun parts kit being sold on Gun Broker. Mr. Adamiak believed the kit was demilled correctly since it was on Gun Broker. He purchased the kit and resold it to the CI.

The ATF determined the kit wasn’t properly demilled since it was cut with a bandsaw, not a torch. They raided Adamiak’s home and arrested him. During the search, they found power tools the sailor claimed to use to remodel his home. The ATF took a different view, arguing that the tools had to be used to make guns. The ATF also found a demilled RPG that Adamiak had purchased at a flea market in California.

The RPG did not have a fire control group and had a large circular hole cut in its side. The ATF welded the hole shut, claiming it wasn’t big enough, and installed a fire control unit. With the RPG rebuilt and rewelded, the ATF was able to get it to work. They would charge Adamiak with multiple NFA violations. Mr Adamiak was found guilty and is currently appealing the ruling to the Circuit Court.

The two cases show that the ATF can be overzealous in its prosecution of Americans instead of concentrating on real criminals. Under Trump’s executive order, the DOJ has an opportunity to make things right.

I Was a Super-Fit Mum-of-Two Who Ran Triathlons—Until I Got the Second COVID Vaccine

Initially, I didn’t hesitate to get the vaccine, and I thought I was doing the right thing to do so we could all move on. I’m not an anti-vaxxer, I’ve had vaccines before. It’s never been a problem… I thought it was the right thing to do. I had my first Pfizer vaccine in 2021. I had it in my left arm. Initially, I had a very sore arm, like a lot of people had. So I wasn’t too concerned. It went away after a few days and I kept doing what I was doing. Three weeks later, I had my second Pfizer vaccine. And, initially after that, I instantly got a massive swelling in my arm pit, so I did see the doctor the day after having it. The doctor said she’s never seen anything like it.
