    Lebanese authorities announced on Sunday that several suspects have been arrested in connection with the recent rocket fire targeting Israel, AFP reported. Lebanon’s General Security agency confirmed in a statement that it had “arrested a number of suspects, and the relevant authorities have begun investigations with them to determine responsibility and take the appropriate legal measures.” The Iran-backed Hezbollah terror organization has denied any role in the rocket attacks launched on March 22 and 28. Nevertheless, the IDF retaliated for the rocket fire on Friday by striking targets in the Dahieh suburb of Beirut, Hezbollah's stronghold in the Lebanese capital....

    Federal authorities have charged four defendants with operating one of the largest human smuggling rings in the United States. The indictment alleges that the transnational criminal organization smuggled around 20,000 undocumented immigrants from Guatemala to the U.S. via Mexico. The group is accused of holding individuals hostage, threatening violence, and being responsible for a fatal car crash in Oklahoma in 2023, which resulted in seven deaths, including three minors. The ringleader, Eduardo Domingo Renoj-Matul, and his associate, Marsha Char, have been arrested and pleaded not guilty. A trial date is being set. Another defendant, Helmer Obispo-Hernandez, remains a fugitive and...

    Albuquerque Journal ^ | February 12, 2025 | Colleen Heild and Matthew Reisen
    For nearly 30 years, Albuquerque attorney Thomas Clear III says he led a criminal racketeering enterprise that paid off generations of law enforcement officers to get his clients’ DWI cases thrown out. The admission came Wednesday as the 67-year-old Clear, at an unannounced hearing in U.S. Magistrate Court, pleaded guilty to bribery of Albuquerque Police Department officers, racketeering conspiracy, aiding and abetting, and interference with commerce by extortion. A sentencing date hasn’t been set. “Today, Thomas J. Clear III admitted to leading a decades-old criminal enterprise wherein he abandoned his own ethical duties as a lawyer, corrupted generations of law...

    EXCLUSIVE: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests of illegal immigrants have soared under the Trump administration compared to the same period last year under the Biden administration, with some metrics doubling or even tripling. According to Department of Homeland Security data, obtained by Fox News Digital, there were 11,791 interior ICE arrests from Jan 20 to Feb 8., compared to 4,969 during the same period in 2024. That’s a 137% increase. Arrests of aliens with criminal histories have soared by nearly 100% from 4,526 in the same period in 2024 to 8,993 under Trump this year. Arrests of fugitive aliens...

    US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested an astounding 11,000 illegal migrants in the first 18 days of the Trump administration – which is already a third of the total busts the agency made last year under former President Joe Biden, The Post has learned. The arrests, part of President Trump’s mass deportation offensive, collared a previously deported Mexican cartel hitman, according to Department of Homeland Security sources. ICE agents in Rio Grande Valley, Texas, nabbed Fernando Vasquez-Mendoza, who was identified as a hired killer working for Cartel del Golfo, or Gulf Cartel, a Mexican drug trafficking organization and criminal...

    The masked stranger caught on video trying to rip a 6-year-old Hasidic boy out of his dad’s arms in Brooklyn over the weekend was busted for the broad-daylight terror, cops said. Stephan Stowe, 28, a gangbanger with 33 prior arrests, was picked up early Sunday and charged with attempted kidnapping — several hours after he tried to yank the young boy away from his dad in Crown Heights, authorities and sources said. The boy’s father was holding hands with his two sons and walking on Kingston Avenue near Empire Boulevard when the menace approached the family and snatched the boy...

    Law enforcement in New York City says they have arrested 517 people either in Tren de Aragua or co-conspirators that work with the gang. Members of the now-infamous Tren de Aragua gang and its associates have been arrested over 500 so far this year in New York City, according to news reports. “If you go back two years – that’s about when we think they first started arriving – we’ve made 45% more arrests than we did two years ago,” a law enforcement source told the New York Post. “This is a gang that conspires to make money off of...

    Ryan Routh planned to assassinate Donald Trump outside his Florida golf club — and thankfully, he failed. Blaze News investigative journalist Steve Baker has done some digging on the would-be assassin, and he isn’t thrilled with what he’s found. “What we’ve uncovered is more questions that are not being answered,” Baker tells Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson of “Blaze News Tonight.” “Was he there by luck of the draw from three different courses that President Trump could have played that morning?” “They could answer all of these questions right now. They could also answer the question about whether that GoPro...

    Routh seems like 'someone who is constantly trying to poke somebody and see what their response is going to be,' says former FBI agent Scott Duffey A former FBI agent told Fox News Digital that there was "a clear mental illness component" that motivated would-be assassin Ryan Routh to take aim at former President Donald Trump on Sept. 15. Before he was charged with two gun-related crimes in a Florida court on Monday, Routh, 58, had more than a hundred interactions with police between the 1980s and 2010. His prior charges range from writing bad checks to felony firearms possession,...
  • Is Crime Rising or Falling? It May Be Falling Arrest Rates that Have People Worried

    PJ Media ^ | 9/07/24 | Rick Moran
    If you ask the average man or woman on the street if crime is rising or falling in America, the solid majority response would be rising. Rasmussen Reports found the number of Americans who believe violent crime is rising very constant at 60%. Gallup found 92% of Republicans and 58% of Democrats believe that crime is rising. Roughly four times as many people think violent crime is rising rather than getting better. But the actual figures for violent crime are falling in almost every major city. Why the disconnect? Why are people convinced crime is on the rise? First of...

    The pro-Palestinian protests outside the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, Illinois, were “mostly peaceful,” the Chicago Tribune proclaimed in a Monday headline despite multiple arrests being made. The headline echoed a CNN chyron from the 2020 cycle: “Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Protests After Police Shooting.” This line came during a report that showed a building engulfed in flames amid violent protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin. You cannot make this up… A CNN reporter is standing in front of a building engulfed in flames and CNN's chyron reads: "FIERY BUT MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS AFTER POLICE SHOOTING" pic.twitter.com/4OHvKnh63u — Caleb Hull (@CalebJHull)...

    Just over three decades after Russia decriminalised homosexuality in 1993, three people have been arrested and charged under the country’s harsh new anti-LGBT laws and could face ten years in prison for membership of an “extremist organisation”.The arrests are a clear indication of how Russia has come full circle on its persecution of sexual minorities under Vladimir Putin.On March 21, the district court of Orenburg city in south-western Russia ordered the arrest of nightclub owner Vyacheslav Khasanov. The nightclub, which is called Pose, has never explicitly identified as a gay club – styling itself as a “parody theatre bar”, it...

    American communities suffer the downfall of Joe Biden’s reckless border policies. Since Biden took office nearly four years ago, the United States has not looked the same. Not only has inflation caused businesses to go out of business and resources to suffer, but innocent lives have been cut short due to illegal immigrants being allowed to cross the southern border and wreak havoc on our nation. In the current fiscal year alone, over 13.7 thousand illegal immigrants with criminal convictions have been arrested by law enforcement in the U.S., with more than 360 of them being affiliated with dangerous gangs....

    The number of arrests by Border Patrol agents of people illegally crossing into the United States fell in May to the third lowest of any month during the Biden presidency, while preliminary figures released Thursday show encounters with migrants falling even more in the roughly two weeks since the president announced new rules restricting asylum. The figures are likely welcome news for a White House that has been struggling to show to voters concerned over immigration that it has control of the southern border. But the number of people coming to the border is often in flux, dependent on conditions...

    It turns out the Biden administration has released potential terrorists with explosive aspirations into America’s interior. Are we surprised? No. Worried? Heck, yes. On June 11, Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin tweeted that a “federal source” confirmed ICE, working with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, recently arrested eight Tajikistan nationals who entered America illegally and had suspected ISIS ties.
