An Illegal Immigrant Tried To Kill His Ex While Out on Bail. This Soft-on-Crime Candidate Voted To Let It Happen Again.
North Carolina state lawmaker Wiley Nickel opposed bill to keep illegal immigrant criminals behind bars
Collin Anderson • August 24, 2022 9:00 amIn May 2019, an illegal immigrant in North Carolina tried to kill his ex-girlfriend just days after his release from prison. A month later, Democratic congressional hopeful Wiley Nickel opposed a bill that would have prevented the ordeal from happening again.
As a North Carolina state lawmaker, Nickel roughly three years ago voted against House Bill 370, which required sheriffs in the state to comply with Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers issued against illegal immigrants. Those detainers help ICE take custody of illegal immigrants when they're arrested on local charges and subsequently released on bail. Just one month before Nickel's vote, a self-described "progressive" sheriff's refusal to honor an ICE detainer prompted a violent rampage.
On May 15, 2019, police arrested 37-year-old Honduran national Luis Analberto Pineda-Anchecta—who was deported from the United States in 2006 but reentered the country illegally—after he assaulted his ex-girlfriend. One day later, ICE placed a detainer on him, which, if honored, would have kept the illegal immigrant criminal in custody. But progressive Mecklenburg County sheriff Garry McFadden ignored that detainer, and Pineda-Anchecta was free to roam the streets following his release on bond on May 17, 2019. Four days later, Pineda-Anchecta kidnapped his ex-girlfriend, tied a rope around her head to keep her quiet, told her he intended to kill her, and took her to a secluded, wooded area near a highway. The victim escaped, and Pineda-Anchecta was later sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Three years after the incident, Nickel is running to replace outgoing Republican congressman Ted Budd in North Carolina's 13th Congressional District. Nickel says he's running in part to "support law enforcement" and make sure "everyone feels welcome and safe in our communities." For the North Carolina Sheriffs' Association, however, Nickel's vote on House Bill 370 did just the opposite—the association supported the bill with "high priority," arguing that it provided "an appropriate and careful balance under the Constitution for the rights of the accused and for the public safety of our communities."
Nickel did not return a request for comment. His decision to vote against the sheriffs' association-backed bill could become a flash point in his race against Republican Bo Hines, who has called to "enforce our laws, deport all criminal aliens, and save Americans from dying."
Nickel first entered the political arena in 2006, when he ran for state Senate in his native California. Nickel lost to Republican incumbent Jeff Denham by approximately 20 points, despite funneling thousands of dollars of his own money into the race and running in a district that "was carved out specifically to elect a Democrat." Nickel's own family donated to Denham's campaign before Nickel entered the race.
Nickel went on to work for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign before he launched another state Senate run in 2018, this time in North Carolina. He went on to serve two terms as a state legislator before announcing his 13th district congressional bid after Budd vacated his seat to run for U.S. Senate. North Carolina's redistricting process made the district considerably less red, prompting the Democratic Congressional Committee to add Nickel to its "competitive ‘Red to Blue' program."
Nickel will square off against Hines in November. Both candidates have raised roughly $1.7 million as of June 30.
California enforces a strict sanctuary state law that prevents local law enforcement from turning criminal illegal aliens over to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.
Ernst: VP Harris Saying Border Secure ‘Laughable’ — Biden Administration ‘Ignoring’ Crisis
Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) said Tuesday on FNC’s “The Faulkner Focus” that it was “laughable” that Vice President Kamala Harris said that the U.S.-Mexico border was “secure,” but our immigration system is broken.
Ernst said, “I’m dumbfounded that we have an administration that is ignoring the humanitarian crisis and the risk that poses to all communities across the United States as they allow those illegal immigrants to cross over the southern border and release them into the interior.”
She continued, “We know that there are folks on the terrorist watch list that have been apprehended. How many of them got away? These are concerns that we have with the Fentanyl crisis, with human trafficking, with, of course, weapons trafficking. All of this is extremely concerning to everyday Americans as they see crime rise across the United States.”
Anchor Harris Faulkner asked, “The vice president says the border is secure. Ten seconds what is your rebuttal?”
Ernst said, “Laughable. I wish the vice president would actually go to the border and speak with the CBP agents, the National Guard and Texas law enforcement to find out what’s really going on.”

As Judge, Cheri Beasley Wanted Lighter Sentence for Career Criminal Who Possessed ‘Weapon of Mass Death’
Beasley, a former North Carolina Supreme Court justice, argued 'attempted assault with a deadly weapon' is 'not a crime'
Collin Anderson • September 13, 2022 2:00 pmDemocratic North Carolina Senate nominee Cheri Beasley voted to vacate a career criminal's habitual felon status just after the man was caught with a "weapon of mass death," a move that would have seen him receive a lighter sentence if he committed another crime.
In October 2013, a North Carolina jury found 35-year-old Corey Deon Floyd guilty of possessing a "weapon of mass death and destruction" and possessing a gun as a convicted felon. Those convictions—which came after Floyd was spotted "hanging" around the streets of Kinston, N.C., with a sawed-off shotgun in his pants—led to Floyd being designated with habitual felon status, which prosecutors in the state apply to a person who commits felonies in three separate cases. Under North Carolina law, habitual felons are sentenced to harsher penalties for any subsequent crimes they commit.
If Beasley got her way, however, the career criminal would have lost his habitual felon status. As a state Supreme Court justice in 2016, Beasley voted to vacate Floyd's habitual felon conviction, arguing that one of Floyd's past felonies prosecutors used to justify the designation—attempted assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury—"is not a crime in North Carolina." A majority of Beasley's fellow justices rejected the Democrat's opinion, and as such, Floyd's convictions were upheld. In addition to his attempted assault and illegal gun convictions, Floyd was found guilty of felony cocaine possession on at least two occasions, court documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show.
Beasley's vote is at odds with her pledge to "[keep] North Carolina communities safe" in her campaign to replace retiring North Carolina Republican senator Richard Burr. That race has seen Beasley attempt to sidestep GOP criticism on her public safety record as a judge by denouncing the movement to defund police, which caught fire in the summer of 2020 following George Floyd's death. But at that time, Beasley partly defended the Black Lives Matter riots that swept the nation after the event—during a June 2020 press conference, the Democrat said Americans "must recognize the legitimate pain and weight of years of disparate treatment that fuels these demonstrations." Roughly three months later, Beasley said she was "excited about the fact that, since the death of George Floyd and so many others, we have been thinking differently about how we do our work."
Beasley's campaign did not return a request for comment.
Floyd's habitual felon status conviction came after local police received a tip that the criminal was carrying a "sawed-off shotgun in his pants" in public. Officers reached the scene and quickly recognized Floyd, citing their "frequent face-to-face contact" with the felon. Floyd fled when the officers approached, eventually throwing his weapon "into a nearby yard," according to court documents obtained by the Free Beacon.
Prosecutors subsequently sought to label Floyd a habitual felon, using in part his attempted assault conviction—which came in 2005—to justify the charge. Jurors agreed, finding Floyd "guilty of obtaining the status of habitual felon" in 2013.
Floyd appealed the conviction, arguing that "attempted assault is not a recognized criminal offense in North Carolina." Prosecutors, however, did not initially charge Floyd with attempted assault—instead, they charged the felon with robbery with a dangerous weapon and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, charges they only watered down as part of a plea deal. Still, both Beasley and North Carolina's appeals court sided with Floyd through opinions that a majority of state Supreme Court justices rejected in 2016, with Beasley ultimately contending that "attempted assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury is not a cognizable offense in North Carolina."
Beasley, who served on the North Carolina Supreme Court from 2012 to 2020, has already faced criticism from Republicans over controversial opinions she issued during her judicial career. In 2019, Beasley was part of a Democratic majority on the court that sided with a child pornography offender who used a technicality to reduce his sentence.
After a stint on North Carolina's appeals court, Beasley was appointed by former Democratic governor Beverly Perdue to the state Supreme Court in 2012. Voters elected Beasley to a full eight-year term in 2014—five years later, Democratic governor Roy Cooper appointed Beasley chief justice following Republican Mark Martin's retirement from the post. Beasley lost her run for a second eight-year term to Republican justice Paul Newby in 2020 and joined international firm McGuireWoods as a partner in January 2021.
Just months later, in June 2021, Beasley launched her Senate run, which will see her face Republican congressman Ted Budd in November after both candidates won their party's primaries by double digits in May. Beasley has raised $16 million to Budd's $6.5 million.
Report: Man Accused of Beheading Woman Is an Illegal Alien Previously Convicted of Child Rape
A man accused of beheading a woman in broad daylight in San Carlos, California, last week is an illegal alien who overstayed his tourist visa years ago, a local report states.
Jose Rafael Solano Landaeta, 33, was arrested and charged after San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office said he beheaded his ex-girlfriend, 27-year-old Karina Castro outside her apartment building.
Police said Landaeta decapitated Castro with a Samurai sword. Castro was the mother of two young daughters — a seven-year-old and a one-year-old. Castro’s family has started a GoFundMe for her two daughters.
According to the San Mateo Observer, Landaeta is an illegal alien who has been living in the United States for years, with a criminal record, without having been deported:
Immigration sources confirm that Jose Solano Landaeta, the suspect who beheaded a 27 year old mother of two in a San Carlos, CA neighborhood September 8th, was in the United States illegally. Jose Solano Landaeta, 33 from Venezuela, entered the country on a tourist visa about ten years ago, say ICE sources. He never left. [Emphasis added]
California enforces a strict sanctuary state law that prevents local law enforcement from turning criminal illegal aliens over to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.
Thousands of illegal aliens every week are said to be turned loose across California as a result.
Landaeta had a criminal record that included raping a girl younger than three years old and only served three years probation, according to the San Francisco Chronicle:
A review of court files in San Mateo County found one more prior serious case for Landaeta-Solano. In 2012, he was accused of rape with an unconscious person and was sentenced to a reduced charge of unlawful sexual intercourse with a victim more than three years younger. He served three years on probation and successfully completed required programming, after which the charge was expunged. [Emphasis added]
Castro’s family described Landaeta as a “diagnosed schizophrenic on meds” who “would use that as an excuse for his behavior. He drank excessively and you’re not supposed to do that on those kind of medications.”
Landaeta remains in San Mateo Jail without bail.
