HALF THE POPULATION OF LOS ANGELES WERE BORN IN MEXICO. THE CITY NO COMPETES WITH D.C., CHICAGO AND SAN FRANCISCO FOR BLACK CRIME.

Federal Investigators: Biden’s DHS Freeing Over 60K Border Crossers into American Towns Every Month

President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is releasing more than 60,000 border crossers into American cities and towns every single month, federal investigators reveal.

DHS Inspector General (IG) Joseph Cuffari issued the report this month, focusing primarily on the revelation that Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is losing track of nearly 2-in-10 border crossers that the agency is releasing into the United States interior.

Also of note, though, Cuffari details Biden’s expansive catch and release network.

From March 2021 through August 2022, an 18-month period, DHS released more than a million border crossers into the U.S. interior — a foreign population close to the size of Dallas, Texas.

Specifically, Cuffari writes that Mayorkas is using three pipelines to release border crossers into the U.S. interior: Notices to Appear (NTAs), prosecutorial discretion, and Parole + ATD, which stands for Alternatives to Detention.

Through NTAs, alone, DHS has released more than 430,000 border crossers into the U.S. interior from March 2021 to August 2022. During that same period, more than 318,000 border crossers were released using Parole +ATD, and another nearly 95,000 were released using prosecutorial discretion.

The figures indicate that monthly, DHS is releasing more than 60,000 border crossers into American cities and towns every month, the equivalent of adding a foreign population the size of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to the nation’s population every 30 days.

In total, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) estimates that Biden and Mayorkas have welcomed five million border crossers and illegal aliens to the U.S. since early January 2021.

D.C. Crime So Intense That Locals Are Afraid to Walk Places, Go out at Night

The crime situation in Washington, D.C., is so dire that residents are afraid to walk anywhere, opting instead to drive short distances, and are nervous to go out after dark, fearing they will be violently attacked on the city’s streets.

In interviews with the Washington Post, a handful of residents detailed the precautions they have started to take to avoid falling victim to the city’s growing violent crime problem, where murders are up almost 30 percent, and robberies have jumped nearly 70 percent since last year.

“It’s so ridiculous,” 44-year-old Stephanie Heishman, a D.C. resident, told the Post about what she must do to avoid crime. “On the other hand, I don’t want to randomly get shot.”

Heishman said she has started driving short distances rather than walking. She said she made the decision after there was a gunfight outside her apartment building in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of D.C.

Likewise, three men were murdered on her block in August.

Another D.C. local named James, 58 years old, said he and his husband moved to Maryland after they were violently attacked alongside another couple in 2019 by a group of young people near Dupont Circle. More recently, James said he had a bottle thrown at his head while walking to Whole Foods.

Ronald Moten, a 53-year-old D.C. resident, told the Post he avoids going to the nearby gas station at night for fear of being robbed by criminals in the Hillcrest neighborhood.

Twenty-eight-year-old Nora Fanfalone said she now uses the service entrance to her apartment so she is not attacked on her way inside her building or a witness to a shooting.

So far this year, there have been close to 4,000 violent crime incidents reported in D.C. — a nearly 40 percent increase compared to 2022. Overall, crime is up almost 30 percent.

Washington, DC, Attorney General Brian Schwalb (D) is bypassing the district’s skyrocketing crime to exhaust his office’s resources on investigating the Federalist Society’s Leonard Leo.

Late last month, Politico reported that Schwalb’s office had launched an investigation into Leo, who was influential in the nominations of all of former President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court justices.

“Washington D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb is investigating judicial activist Leonard Leo and his network of nonprofit groups, according to a person with direct knowledge of the probe,” Politico detailed. “The scope of the investigation is unclear.”

News of the investigation into Leo comes as D.C. crime surges, wreaking havoc on communities and residents living in the nation’s capital.

Year-to-date crime statistics, as of September 12, show there have been 190 homicides in D.C. so far this year — up nearly 30 percent compared to the same period last year. Likewise, sex crimes are up six percent, assaults with dangerous weapons have increased three percent, and robberies have skyrocketed by 69 percent compared to last year.

Overall, there have been 1,000 more violent crime incidents across D.C. — up almost 40 percent — so far this year compared to 2022.

Other crime categories have also increased. Motor vehicle thefts, for example, have increased a whopping 110 percent compared to the same period in 2022. Vehicle thefts are so high in D.C. that incidents had surpassed 5,000 before year’s end.

Other thefts and arson have increased as well. There have been nearly 9,000 thefts across D.C. so far this year, a 23 percent increase, and nine arson incidents, a 200 percent increase. The figures have helped tick up property crimes by 27 percent.

Altogether, crime in D.C. has increased almost 30 percent with close to 24,000 incidents from January 1 to September 12.

Despite the surge in crime, Schwalb has moved forward with his soft-on-crime agenda. Most significantly, Schwalb lobbied heavily to approve changes to the D.C. criminal code that reduced criminal penalties such as cutting maximum penalties for crimes like armed carjacking.

Though Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) opposed changes to the D.C. criminal code, along with many House and Senate Democrats as well as President Joe Biden, Schwalb authored a Washington Post op-ed asking Democrats to support the changes.

“… longer sentences — which disproportionately adversely impact Black and brown communities — do not make communities safer. Indeed, just the opposite,” Schwalb wrote in February.

Schwalb’s support for reducing criminal penalties in D.C. came as no surprise, as he has long claimed that tough-on-crime policies do not reduce crime.

“… the idea that increasing punishment and sanction is going to make us safer is something that I’m not sure the data or our history confirms,” Schwalb told DCist at the beginning of the year. “In fact, I think if we learn from our history, we know that oftentimes by trying to be very tough on crime and locking people up, we didn’t make ourselves safer as a community.”

Pennsylvania Police Confirm Escaped Murderer Danelo Cavalcante in Custody

Convicted illegal alien murderer Danelo Cavalcante was captured Wednesday and is now being held in custody, police have confirmed.

Convicted murderer and illegal alien Danelo Cavalcante was “forcibly” taken into custody Wednesday – and sustained what was called a minor bite wound during the capture – and is now back behind bars, police have confirmed.

“One of the teams released a search dog on Cavalcante, and the dog subdued him,” an apprehending officer said.

State police made the announcement on social media as the search for the Brazilian fugitive entered its 14th day. Cavalcante’s condition wasn’t released other than to confirm the bite wounds.

AP reports Cavalcante had been eluding hundreds of searchers for two weeks by hiding out in wooded areas, breaking into suburban homes for food, fleeing under gunfire with a rifle pilfered from a garage, stealing a vehicle and changing his appearance.

The search forced schools to close right at the start of the academic year, led to warnings for homeowners to lock their doors, and blocked roads over the busy Labor Day weekend.

Cavalcante, 34, and measuring a diminutive five feet tall, escaped from the Chester County jail in southeastern Pennsylvania on Aug. 31 by crab-walking up between two walls that were topped with razor wire, then jumping from the roof and dashing away.

Police declared him “armed and extremely dangerous.”

Less than three weeks before escaping from the prison, Cavalcante was convicted of murdering 33-year-old Deborah Brandao in front of her seven-year-old daughter and her three-year-old son in April 2021. He received a sentence of life without parole.

The illegal alien is thought to have crossed the United States-Mexico border sometime after allegedly murdering a man in Brazil in 2017 and after Brazilian law enforcement issued a warrant for his arrest in June 2018.

The prison tower guard on duty when Cavalcante escaped was fired. The escape went undetected for more than an hour until guards took a headcount.

Rural populations surpassed urban ones for the first time in 30 years

Á la the Jeopardy! game show, here’s “Public Infestations” for $200:

These resilient pests swarm, devour and destroy, then move on to a new locale.

Oh, you said “What are locusts?” I’m sorry, the correct answer was “What are Democrats?”

Yesterday, Bloomberg published a report highlighting new details (and therefore additional fallout), of the years-long drastic population shifts from blue hellscapes to red havens; from the article:

Rural America is booming, but the population growth that’s boosting local economies is also putting a strain on everything from schools to housing and roads.

The influx — which started during the pandemic — has continued even as Covid restrictions have lifted. The latest government data released just last month points to a second year of increases in 2022 after years of declines.

The number of people living in non-metro areas outgrew the urban population for the first time in three decades in 2021, and the rural population expanded again last year.

For the first time in 30 years, more people are living in “rural” areas than in “urban” areas… and we all know exactly why.

The modern Democrat party has itself undergone a dramatic transformation; having abandoned all pretenses of being a patriotic and pro-American apparatus, its politicians now openly scorn the ordinary people they once claimed to represent. The “green” agenda of the Democrats demands the destruction of the oil, coal, and natural gas energy sectors and poof! There goes millions of American jobs. They beat the little guy into enslavement with exorbitant taxes and burdensome regulations. They pour hundreds of billions of dollars into Ukraine’s coffers, and toss pennies at Maui. They turn away American children from public school to make room for the masses of illegal aliens—honestly though, this betrayal is just as well.

The writers of the article note that the relocation of denizens from the city to the country is “putting a strain on everything” but especially, the people forced to absorb these blue refugees. They write that the “trend is sparking resentment as house prices rise” stating that the “top 10 rural counties” that have experienced the highest influx of blue refugees have seen home prices soar by “more than 40% over the past three years.” But, it’s also fostering animus in another way too: these blue refugees are bringing their blue politics with them:

‘There’s a lot of resentment,’ said Maggie Doherty, a writer and columnist who lives in Flathead County, Montana. ‘There’s bumper stickers that say ‘Montana’s full’ or ‘Don’t California my Montana.’’

In some places, the influx of new residents is deepening political divides in an already polarized country.

‘There’s been a lot of battles politically over building and where to build,’ said Pete Fuller, who lives in Jackson County and heads the Democratic Party there. ‘There are organized groups that do not want affordable housing being built.’

We’ve been told that the people fleeing the Democrat strongholds of California, Illinois, and New York are conservatives, but I’ve long argued that that’s not quite the case. As a general rule, these blue refugees fall into one of two camps. They’re either hardcore and impressively empty-headed leftists who can’t understand why homes have become so unaffordable or traffic so bad; or they’re traditional conservative Democrats, who just aren’t radical leftists. But they are not, as a whole, solid and principled constitutionalists, and when they arrive at a place with a functioning society and civic sanity, it provides them with the latitude to still vote Democrat.

They are, in other words, locusts, and as Rush Limbaugh’s old phrase goes, “Liberalism is spreading misery equally.”

‘I Won’t Be Silent”: Democrat Official Who Vowed to Dismantle Minneapolis Police Department Wants Justice for Carjacking

Shivanthi Sathanandan, an anti-police Democrat party official in Minnesota, wants tougher crime laws after being violently attacked during a carjacking in Minneapolis.

An anti-police Democrat party official in Minnesota wants tougher crime laws after being violently attacked during a carjacking in Minneapolis.

Shivanthi Sathanandan holds the position of second vice chairwoman for the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL), the New York Post reported Thursday.

She explained in a social media post on Wednesday what transpired during the incident:

“Four very young men, all carrying guns, beat me violently down to the ground in front of our kids. The young men held our neighbors up at gunpoint when they ran over and tried to help me,” she wrote, noting she suffered a broken leg, deep lacerations on her head, bruises, and cuts.

The men knew what they were doing, she continued, and there was no doubt in her mind they had done the same thing to other victims:

I’m now part of the statistics. I wasn’t silent when I fought these men to save my life and my babies, and I won’t be silent now. We need to get illegal guns off of our streets, catch these young people who are running wild creating chaos across our city and HOLD THEM IN CUSTODY AND PROSECUTE THEM.

PERIOD.

Look at my face. REMEMBER ME when you are thinking about supporting letting juveniles and young people out of custody to roam our streets instead of HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.

These criminals will not win. We need to take back our city. And this will not be the last you hear from me about this.

Sathanandan then thanked police officers and others for coming to help.

Law enforcement confirmed the carjacking that happened in the Folwell area but have yet to arrest any suspects in the case.

According to the Post, Sathanandan said in a social media post three years ago that she and fellow activists were “going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department” because it had failed citizens.

Her comments came after the death of George Floyd:

Social media users were quick to comment on Sathanadan’s most recent post, one person writing, “This is what happens when you dismantle a police department. Sorry you went through this.”

“You wanted a lawless city though,” another user replied, while someone else said, “Votes have consequences. Nice job!”

In June 2020, members of the Minneapolis City Council unanimously approved a pledge seeking to replace its police department with a “community-led public safety system,” Breitbart News reported at the time.

The outlet noted it was part of a campaign headed by Black Lives Matter activists and leftist Democrats to defund police after violent protests and riots erupted in the wake of Floyd’s death.


BLACKS ARE THE MOST VIOLENT SUBCULTURE IN THE WORLD

Rapper Charged with Murder After Allegedly Making a Music Video Bragging About the Crime

Nevada rapper Kenjuan McDaniel was arrested on a murder charge after La Vegas police alleged he “confessed to the murder in his (song) lyrics.”
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department

Nevada rapper Kenjuan McDaniel was arrested on a murder charge after La Vegas police alleged he “confessed to the murder in his (song) lyrics.”

The 25-year-old accused was taken into police custody August 29. He has been held on one charge of open murder with a deadly weapon, a news release from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said.

Bail was set Thursday at $1 million with electronic monitoring, according to court records.

The victim, identified by several outlets as Randall Wallace, 32, was found shot to death in an apartment complex in 2021. Police claimed the victim had been in an argument with three suspects who were unidentified at that point.

According to the arrest report obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, McDaniel released the song, titled Fadee Free, which police alleged contains details about the killing not known by the general public, along with the music video on YouTube.
In the arrest report, police broke down lyrics from the song that apparently lined up the details of the homicide.

“Brought it with that fire, hear that ‘ah’, see your body twitching,” raps McDaniel, which according to the Review-Journal, matched up with Wallace twitching before he died, police alleged.

Another lyric, reported by 8 News Now, features McDaniel rapping: “Parked the car, doubled back on feet, the smartest way to slide,” which police also aligned with the killing.

In the song McDaniel also allegedly refers to a nickname which 8 News Now reported was Wallace’s, according to police.

McDaniel is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Sept. 14.

Brooklyn parking dispute leads to double shooting at Home Depot

Theodore Parisienne/New York Daily News/TNS

A dispute over a parking spot in the central Brooklyn Home Depot erupted in gunfire, leaving a woman shot in the head and her boyfriend badly wounded, according to witnesses and police.

The shooting took place in the parking lot of the hardware store’s Bedford-Stuyvesant location shortly after noon Saturday, according to the NYPD.

“The guy pulls on the side of them, he starts shooting at them,” Stacee Glenn, 40, said. Glenn said the male victim shouted, “I gave him the parking spot!”

The couple –– believed to be in their mid-20s –– raced out of the parking lot in their white Hyndai Sonata after the shooting, stopping several blocks away at the intersection of Nostrand and Myrtle Aves. to call for help.

The woman was slumped over and nonresponsive.

“He stopped and said ‘my girlfriend and I had been shot’,” Glenn said. “I guess he was trying to bring her to the hospital.”

Yadelyn Pena, 14, told the Daily News she was outside the Duane Reade on Nostrand and Myrtle when the car came to a stop.

“I guess he realized he was too late, so he jumped outside the car and called for help,” she said, adding that the man had wounds to his leg and his back.

“I was like, what’s the matter? What’s wrong? And he was like, ‘my girlfriend, look,’” Pena said.

“And I look in the car and there’s blood dripping from her head.” she added. “I saw her.”

“The guy in the parking lot – he wanted my parking spot,” Pena recalled the man saying. “I gave it to him and he started shooting at us!”

Three bullet holes could be seen in the Hyundai’s driver’s side door, which was facing the wrong direction on Nostrand Ave. Outside the front passenger door, a brown paper Home Depot bag lay stained with blood.

Pena said she dialed 911 immediately.

“The cops took like ten minutes to come. It looked like she was dead.”

“I saw her fingers moving,” the teenager added. “I’m hoping she’s okay.”

Pena’s mother, 38-year-old Anlly Burgos, said she tried to comfort the woman until help arrived.

“I held her hand telling her she was going to be okay,” she said. “Then the police came and they told everybody to back up.”

“She couldn’t talk,” Burgos said of the victim. “The only time she talked was to tell the police her name and then after that she was dead silent.”

The frantic boyfriend feared the worst.

“Her boyfriend was really really distressed. Sad. Calling for help,” she added. “He was saying, ‘I got shot in my back and my leg but just make sure she’s okay.'”

Cops said both victims were transported to nearby Kings County Hospital, where the woman was listed in critical condition.

Police: Woman Arrested for Setting Fire to a Target Store In Attempt to Cover Up Baby Formula Theft

Omaha, Neb., police officers gather outside a Target store in Omaha on Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2023. They were investigating reports of a shooting at the store Tuesday. Police spokesman Officer Chris Gordon said the store in west Omaha was locked down about noon Tuesday after reports of shots being fired. …
Josh Funk/AP

Police have arrested a woman for allegedly setting fire to a Target store in Southern California in what they said was an attempt to cover up the theft of baby formula.

The evening fire at the Target in Buena Park on September 5 resulted in extensive damage to the Orange County store, including the children’s clothing section. Employees were evacuated, though no injuries were reported.

Buena Park Police identified the suspect as Cynthia Torres, 40, saying an investigation determined the suspect had intentionally set the fire in an attempt to cause a distraction that would allow her to steal baby formula.

Police said the fire caused around $500,000 worth of structural damage and around $1 million in retail loss, mostly due to water damage and smoke.

Torres was identified and arrested Tuesday. “The Investigation is ongoing and further details will be released at a later date,” Buena Park police said in its release.

Under the Biden administration, Americans have faced unprecedented shortages of baby formula, sending families scrambling desperately for food for their newborns.

In addition, prices for baby formula and baby food in general have spiked sharply, compounding the problem for families already hammered by Bidenflation. Prices of baby food and formula jumped by the most on record to an all-time high in April, according to a Bloomberg report.

In May, the Federal Trade Commission launched an investigation into the shortages of baby formula across the country. As Breitbart News reported, House Republicans are also investigating the catastrophic shortages.
