Disturbing surveillance video obtained by The Post shows a city-funded babysitter repeatedly walloping three little kids with a belt and donning a creepy Santa Claus costume to scare them — and the horrified family is now demanding answers. La’keysha Jackson, 24, began working for Bronx mother Geraldine Jaramillo a year ago via a contractor paid for by the city’s Administration for Children’s Services that provides struggling families with babysitters to help with caretaking. The single mom said she discovered the violent treatment last month when the kids’ Pennsylvania-based grandma checked a home surveillance camera in the bedroom — and was...

In yet another glaring example of failed immigration enforcement and soft-on-crime policies, the illegal immigrant accused of stealing Department of Homeland Security Secretary (DHS) Kristi Noem’s purse was reportedly released after committing a similar theft in New York City just weeks earlier. Instead of facing swift deportation or serious consequences, the suspect was reportedly freed, highlighting the disastrous impact of sanctuary city policies. According to a newly released report, the suspect and illegal alien from Chile, Mario Bustamante-Leiva, was previously arrested in New York City. As he stole Noem’s purse from a restaurant in Washington, D.C., the New York Police...

Denzel Brown, 29, and Marvin Dankwah, 26, also face charges of first-degree robbery and criminal possession of a weapon in the 6:30 a.m. Sunday violence that left the 25-year-old officer with a graze wound on his leg, according to authorities and sources.

The U.S. government must launch a probe into the Chinese overseas law enforcement operation in New York City, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation, as other countries raise the alarm over reports of police stations on their soil. “How in God’s name could they openly have these communist police stations in our country?” Beau Dietl, retired NYPD detective, told the DCNF. “This shows the Chinese Communist Party is not afraid to exert its will outside of China, and we should do all that we can to counter this behavior,” Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Jim Risch of Idaho...

The spread of Chinese overseas police service stations around the world raises concerns among human rights campaigners. The Chinese government is opening illegal police posts all over the world. China claims that these posts are capable of cracking down on global and multinational crimes. These checkpoints have been opened in many countries around the world including developed countries like Canada and Ireland. According to local media reports, Fuzhou has established informal police service stations affiliated with the Public Security Bureau (PSB) across Canada. At least three of these stations are located in the Greater Toronto Area only. Chinese Police Station...

Secretary of State Antony Blinken rolled out the red carpet Friday for Liu Jianchao, China’s leading envoy — and the architect of its global scheme to kidnap and silence anti-Communist dissidents.

His trip to the US was capped by the reception at the State Department by Blinken on Friday morning, the day after he met President Biden’s deputy national security adviser Jon Finer. It had also included a visit to the prestigious Council on Foreign Relations in Manhattan, a reception with a...

Hordes of hoodlums vandalized three police cars — including smashing windows and jumping on at least one vehicle — early Sunday during a wild car meet-up in Queens, according to police and footage of the chaos. The bedlam happened along Rockaway Boulevard in a commercial area of Ozone Park as rowdy brutes engulfed the police cars responding to disorder around 1 a.m., police and law enforcement sources said. Other rabble-rousers then jumped on top of the car and threw another traffic cone at it before the vehicle — with its sirens blaring — pulled away, footage shows. Jaw-dropping video shows...

Two alleged Tren de Aragua gangbangers who were busted by the NYPD have been deported to El Salvador’s notorious hellhole prison — despite New York City’s sanctuary laws. Carlos Chivico Medina, 24, was nabbed in a massive drug ring bust in November, and Miguel Vaamondes Barrios, 42, was picked up last April as part of a raid on squatters at Bronx home. Both were on a leaked list of deportees flown to El Salvador’s terrorism confinement center (CECOT) earlier this month under the Alien Enemies Act — which President Trump invoked to make it easier to kick out members of...

NYPD is openly recruiting for Sharia compliance!This isn’t about “inclusion.” It’s about normalizing submission—one hijab at a time.💬 “We have 1,200 Muslim officers… 10 in hijab… I’m looking forward to another 100,000 ladies wearing hijabs in the near future as NYPD.”This is the slow surrender of Western values. The hijab isn’t just a scarf—it’s a symbol of Sharia, a system that says Kafirs are inferior, women are responsible for men’s desires, and those who disobey must be punished.What’s next? Sharia patrols? Burqas in blue?This is the slow surrender of Western values. And it’s happening in broad daylight…
