Maryland Releases MS-13 Gang Member & Sex Offender Despite ICE Detainers

BALTIMORE – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested two criminal aliens after their release by Prince George’s County, Maryland, despite each having immigration detainers. Those arrested include a member of MS-13 and a convicted sex offender.

“These arrests are yet another example of a local jurisdiction choosing to release demonstrated public safety threats to the community, rather than honoring lawful detainers and allowing ICE to take custody of these individuals and keep them off of the street,” said Francisco Madrigal, field office director for ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Baltimore field office.

On Nov. 19, ICE officers with the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) Capital Area Task Force arrested Jose Luis Sorto Gomez, 33, a citizen of El Salvador and a known member of MS-13. Sorto has been arrested several times by Prince George’s County between 2016 and 2020, but despite five ICE detainers lodged during that time, was released after each incident.

Sorto was previously identified by ICE in 2015 in McDowell County, North Carolina, where he was in custody pending charges of resisting arrest, assault of a government official and larceny. He was referred for prosecution for illegal reentry and on May 3, 2016, he was convicted and sentenced to 14 months incarceration by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina. At the time, Sorto was the subject of active criminal warrants from Prince George’s County for failure to appear and he was transferred to Prince George’s custody following his federal sentence. ICE lodged a detainer with Prince George’s County on July 2, 2016, but Prince George’s County released Sorto into the community. Sorto is in ICE custody pending removal to El Salvador.

On Nov. 20, ICE officers arrested David Alexander Retana-Castellon, 28, a convicted sex offender and citizen of El Salvador, in Hyattsville, Maryland. Retana entered the U.S. in August 2015 near the Rio Grande Valley, Texas, and ICE removed him to El Salvador on September 18, 2015. He illegally reentered the country on an unknown date.

On May 17, 2019, the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County convicted Retana of sex offense in the third degree, sentencing him to eight years in prison in which all but three days were suspended, and placed him on three years of probation. On Oct. 9, 2019, ICE officers from the Baltimore field office arrested Retana and turned him over to the USMS for prosecution for illegal reentry, a felony. The magistrate judge granted Retana a pre-trial release. On Sept. 7, 2020, the Prince George’s County Police Department arrested Retana for failing to register as a sex offender and ICE lodged an immigration detainer with the Prince George’s County Detention Center. Oct. 28, 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland convicted Retana of illegal reentry, sentenced him to time served, and returned him to Prince George’s County custody. On Nov. 6, 2020, Prince George’s County did not honor the detainer lodged by ICE and released him to the community. Retana is in ICE custody pending removal to El Salvador.

Michael Flynn: 'I must have put the fear of God into Barack Obama'

The retired Army lieutenant general bashes Obama while singing the praises of Sidney Powell

Former national security advisor Mike Flynn took aim at former President Barack Obama. In his first television interview since his pardon, Flynn said he "must have put the fear of God into Barack Obama."

President Donald Trump tapped Flynn to become his national security adviser on Nov. 18, 2016. Trump visited Obama on Nov. 10, 2016, where Obama allegedly warned the incoming POTUS about Flynn, according to Obama administration officials. Flynn previously worked under Obama as the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency from 2012 until 2014.

On Saturday, Flynn theorized as to why Obama would have sounded the alarm about him to the incoming administration.

"I must have put the fear of God into Barack Obama and still do because of this long four-year saga they put me, my family through, President Donald J. Trump, his family, and frankly the entire country," Flynn told Fox News' Jeanine Pirro. "One of these days, I'll lay it out."

Pirro pushed Flynn as to why Obama would issue a forewarning about him to Trump.

"When he chose me to be the national security advisor they knew that their little plan of spying on Donald Trump would fall apart and many other foreign policy blunders they got our country into, whether it was the Iran deal, issues going on in the Asian-pacific theater, trade, all sorts of issues that were in play that the last administration did to frankly run this country right into the ground," Flynn said of his former boss.

"They knew those were the types of things I was aware of. Because let's face it. Barack Obama appointed me twice. I was Senate confirmed twice during the time I was in the military," Flynn retorted. "So, it's amazing that would be what he would focus on during the transition for the United States of America. It's outrageous, actually."

Pirro asked Flynn about his former attorney Sidney Powell, who is currently challenging the results of the 2020 presidential election.

"I call Sidney Powell America's guardian angel of justice," Flynn stated. "Sidney Powell's clients are the people of the United States of America. That's who she is fighting for right now."

"She has her teeth into Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and the stuff that she has laid out in her various filings, it is going to play out here," Flynn continued.

"We have to stop all engines right now," Flynn proclaimed. "All these governors and all these quote-unquote leaders of their states, they have to take responsibility and do something to stop what they are doing."

House Republicans Introduce Bill to Repeal Fraud-Prone ‘Motor Voter’ Law

For decades defenders of the citizens’ right to sovereign elections have been calling out the Motor Voter Law as a pathway to corrupting the ballot box

Ask any Republican politician or election official what the most potent enemy to a sovereign election is and you will invariably be told the Motor Voter Law. Now a group of US Congressmen are attempting to do something about it.

On Friday, a group of House Republicans introduced legislation to repeal what is commonly referred to as the “Motor Voter Law.” This law requires every state to offer voter registration at Department of Motor Vehicle facilities.

The codified name of the law is the 1993 National Voter Registration Act. It mandates that states offer voters the option to also register to vote when applying for a driver’s license. It also outlines the mandate for some public assistance offices.

Under the Act, every driver’s license application must double as a voter registration application. The one aspect that is not objectionable in the act is that it also updates any prior registration.

The group of House Republicans, led by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), are voicing a commonly held concern about one provision in the law. It requires states to accept a signed affidavit attesting that the voter is a US citizen without requiring tangible proof.

In a statement issued through his office, Biggs’ offered up the example of a situation in which Arizona law requires an individual to provide proof of citizenship in order to register to vote in that state’s elections. But, because of the Motor Voter Law, federal law mandates they be given the opportunity to vote on a “federal-only” ballot. This opens up federal office elections to vote fraud by non-citizens.

“This lax procedure, to register individuals to vote in states that have strict citizenship requirements for voter registration, is a threat to the integrity of our elections,” Biggs said in the statement.

Legal Action Against Aussie Gov't for Misuse of COVID Test

Government Vaccination Programs: Crimes Against Humanity

by Judy Wilyman PhD

In Australia legal action has started against the government - Prime Minister, Scott Morrison and federal and state health ministers - for the fraudulent use of PCR tests to create the appearance of a pandemic and for the implementation of lockdown measures, including coercive vaccination, which will harm human health - COVID Fraud: Lawyers File action against Corrupt Australian Government.

Governments and individuals/organisations who are promoting or enforcing false and misleading health information without the knowledge of long-term health effects in genetically diverse populations are committing a crime against humanity. It is also a crime to mandate or coerce any vaccine (drug) on a population in government policy because all medications have different side-effects in different people due to our genetics. This is a fundamental principle of medical ethics: fully informed consent without coercion, manipulation or pressure.

In addition, to the normal risks that all vaccines pose to many pre-disposed individuals the new COVID19 vaccine includes new and untested technology that will allow people to be monitored for their health status and movements. This will be recorded on an e-health card that will be used to limit your travel or other participation in society. This has already been introduced for children in Australia with the NJNPay/Play policies and now it is being enforced on adults with the new COVID19 vaccine.

It is also a crime that healthy people are being tested with a PCR test that does not diagnose disease and then these healthy people are being labelled as a 'case' of COVID19 that is reported in the media or they are quarantined if the test is positive; yet there are many false positives with this non-standardised test.

This fraudulent use of the PCR test has now been confirmed in the Portuguese Courts - The Portuguese Court Rules PCR tests as Unreliable and Unlawful to Quarantine People.

Here is a video - Warning for Humanity: the COVID-19 Vaccine - that describes the new technology that is in the COVID-19 vaccine (fast-tracked and untested for safety) that will enable governments to collect our biometric data (personal identification) after vaccination.

Any government that uses coercive measures to enforce the use of a medical drug on the population is committing a crime against humanity. This is due to the diversity of our genetic-makeup yet governments are ignoring this science (epigenetics) to force the COVID19 vaccine on all international travellers who wish to fly on Qantas airlines. A policy that is expected to be adopted by other airlines soon.

What's Really Behind Kushner's Visit to Saudi Arabia and Qatar

Is it possible that Kushner’s recent visit was not only to resolve a local conflict or begin normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel, but to lay financial groundwork ahead of his family's departure from the White House?

On Friday, just two days after Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, returned from his visit to the Gulf, the Kuwaiti foreign minister announced a breakthrough in the conflict between Qatar and the Arab Gulf states. Arab leaders were quick to welcome the important diplomatic progress, which could end the conflict that broke out three and a half years ago.

ISIS Executed SDF Commander & Coalition Spy In Northeastern Syria

On December 5, ISIS’ news agency, Amaq, released photos showing the execution of two men in the northeastern region of Syria, which is controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

The first man, Musa al-Hashim, was executed by ISIS terrorists with a bullet to the head on December 4. According to Amaq’s claims, al-Hashim was working as a spy for the U.S.-led coalition, the main backer of the SDF.

Local sources denied ISIS’ claims. The sources said al-Hashim, a refugee from al-Hasakah city, was abducted by ISIS terrorists from his home in the town of al-Shheell in the southeastern Deir Ezzor countryside.

The second man was executed by ISIS a day later in a similar fashion near the town of al-Secher, which is also located in the southeastern countryside of Deir Ezzor.

Amaq said the man, named Raed Hussein, was a commander of the SDF. The agency shared photos of an assault rifle and documents of the SDF’s security forces, Asyash, which were allegedly found with Hussein.

During 2020, the SDF and the U.S.-led coalition stepped up their operations against ISIS cells in northeastern Syria. The terrorist group, however, is still active in the region.

ISIS has been taking advantage of the growing tensions between the Kurdish-led SDF and Arab population in northwestern Syria to spread its influence in the region. The SDF is yet to address this issue, which seems to be growing.

Haftar Forces Attack Turkish Proxies In Southern Libya

On December 6, heavy clashes broke out in southwestern Libya, when the Libyan National Army (LNA) launched a surprise attack on a military camp controlled by forces loyal to the Turkish-backed Government of National Accord (GNA).

LNA troops attacked the Tendy camp in the morning. The camp is located near the town of Awbari‎, at least 964 km south of the capital Tripoli. Col. Muhammad al-Hasnawi is reportedly leading the attack.

A spokesman for the GNA’s Sirte-al-Jufra operations room, al-Hadi Dara, told Turkish state-run Anadulo Agency that the LNA’s attack was quickly repelled by the camp’s forces. A pro-GNA warlord named Ali Kanah is commanding the camp.

“Haftar’s [Commander-in-Chief of the LNA] militia attempted to storm Tendy camp [formerly known as the commando camp], but the army [GNA] forces foiled the attempt,” the spokesman said.

Dara’s claims were denied by Khaled al-Mahjoub, Director of the LNA’s Moral Guidance Department, who told Sky News Arabiya that the Tendy camp was captured.

According to al-Mahdjoub, the LNA is working to secure the southwestern region to prevent terrorist groups, including al-Qaeda, from entering the country. The region is indeed infested with al-Qaeda and ISIS remnants.

The LNA and the GNA agreed on a ceasefire in June. Until now, the two sides have been engaged in more or less constructive peace talks. Today’s attack may hinder these efforts.

The LNA’s surprise attack on Tendy camp may have been provoked by the Turkish military buildup in Libya. In the last few weeks, Turkey stepped up its arms shipments to GNA forces and made preparations to deploy additional Syrian militants in the country.
