The 'progressive' district attorney who prosecuted the case for the migrant who brutally murdered nursing student Laken Riley said she wouldn't seek the death penalty because it would cause 'collateral consequences to undocumented defendants.' Jose Ibarra, 26, was convicted Wednesday on all 10 counts for his brutal slaying of the 22-year-old Augusta University student while she was jogging and got life in prison without parole. Many Republicans were shocked that Ibarra, an undocumented migrant from Venezuela, was not given a death sentence. Deborah Gonzalez, a liberal prosecutor funded by George Soros, said in February that her office would 'no longer...

According to a UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll that was co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Times, Gascón remains 25 points behind his challenger, former federal prosecutor Nathan Hochman. Despite campaign events and high-profile announcements like his support of resentencing for the Menendez brothers, Gascón has made up little ground on his 30-point deficit from last month. Mark DiCamillo, director of the poll, previously told the Times that the race was “not even close,” and with only days...

The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg unleashed on her own network, ABC, for putting convicted felon and con artist Anna “Delvey” Sorokin on “Dancing With The Stars,” who will be performing this season in an ankle bracelet. “I think back to the families who have had family members arrested by ICE who have gone to the courts to get their dad or their brother or their mother back, and this woman, they gave her permission to go do this. Now, should I think there’s a reason? Is there a two-tiered system here with ICE?” Goldberg said. Sorokin was released from federal...

Something interesting is going on in San Francisco where DA Brooke Jenkins, a black woman who ousted the former pro-crime Chesa Boudin and promised to actually enforce the law, is taking on the MacArthur Foundation. While we often call pro-crime DAs “Soros DAs” and indeed the Nazi collaborating radical billionaire did indeed play a major role in building a pro-crime network of DAs who ignore the law, there are a variety of major foundations who destroyed public safety in America. The MacArthur Foundation is one of them. Under DA Chesa Boudin’s reign of terror, the MacArthur Foundation had been providing...

Since 2022, at least 15 far-left district attorneys backed by liberal megadonor George Soros have resigned, retired, been recalled, or lost re-election, according to a recent report from the watchdog group “Virginians for Safe Communities.” With fewer Soros prosecutors taking office in that time, it seems conservatives may be turning the tide against the radical criminal justice “reform” movement. On January 8, Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm became the latest Soros DA to announce that he would not seek re-election this year. Like other Marxist prosecutors, Chisholm pursued an agenda of ending cash bail, releasing as many prisoners as...
