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?

The teen heroes who nabbed subway arson killer Sebastian Zapeta-Calil have been denied the $10,000 reward promised by the NYPD — allegedly because they called the wrong phone number to report it, The Post has learned. The trio of eagle-eyed high school basketball players — who spotted the firebug on a Queens-bound F train hours after he allegedly burned a woman to death — were told by the reward administrators that they were ineligible for the cash because they called 911 to report their sighting instead of the Crimes Stoppers tip line.
