Cuban officials on Friday said that Joanne Chesimard, who was convicted of killing a New Jersey state trooper, has died in Havana decades after breaking out of prison and escaping to the communist island. Cuba's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Chesimard, who was born JoAnne Deborah Byron and was also known as Assata Olugbala Shakur, passed away after living there for years under asylum granted by the Cuban government. "On September 25, 2025, American citizen Joanne Deborah Byron, ‘Assata Shakur,’ passed away in Havana, Cuba, due to health conditions and advanced age," the ministry's statement said. In 1977, Chesimard...

A January 6th defendant on the run from the Biden Regime that was granted political asylum and refugee status by the President of Belarus is asking President Trump for help. In an exclusive interview with the Gateway Pundit, Evan Neumann of California is pleading with President Trump for a pardon so he can return home to United States to be with his two children. Neumann has spent the past 3 and a half years as a political refugee in Belarus after escaping Biden’s FBI and the Ukrainian SBU (Secret Service) by ditching his electronics and walking 18 hours through a...

Greg Alyn Carslon is a Wanted Fugitive on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List. Greg Alyn Carlson is still on the run. He has proven to be a clever and wily fugitive that has been able to avoid capture for well over one year. Here are some tips for spotting this dangerous fugitive.

The FBI’s 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list turned 66 years old last week — and it ain’t your grandfather’s catalog of thugs and hoodlums anymore. Like crime in America, the list has evolved. It started in the 1950s as an array of the “toughest” bank robbers and car thieves before adding radicals and kidnappers in the ’60s, mobsters in the ’70s and gangbangers and white-collar criminals in the ’80s and ’90s.

African American students at UC Berkeley are demanding that their college name one of its buildings after one of the FBI's most wanted terrorists. In 2013, Assata Shakur was named as one of the FBI's most wanted terrorists. In 1977, Shakur murdered a New Jersey police officer and was convicted; she escaped from prison in 1979 and has been on the run ever since. Currently, she is staying in Cuba and New Jersey is offering a $2,000,000 award for her capture. The Black Student Union at Berkeley, however, does not see Shakur as a felon, but as a hero. So...

A big score, especially now that Yemen’s falling apart. That country’s branch of Al Qaeda is already one of the most dangerous in the world; if the state breaks down completely, seasoned African operatives like Fazul Mohammed might sense an opportunity and hop across the Gulf of Aden to hook up with AQ’s outfit there. In fact, U.S. counterterrorism has worried for years about Somali refugee camps in Yemen being prime recruiting ground for Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Fazul won’t be joining them, however. Both Somali and U.S. officials say that he’s finally, finally, finally dead. “We have...

First of three parts It was Dec. 23, 1994, the day that Whitey Bulger vanished. He had always assumed it would come to this, so in 1977 he began constructing a new identity for himself. The most powerful organized crime figure in New England was about to turn into “Thomas F. Baxter.” When the cops got around to searching his condo, and his girlfriends’ houses, they would find how-to books about living on the lam. There were almost as many of them as there were World War II books and videotapes. Whitey was into Nazis, so much so that in...
