Convicted Child Rapist Sentenced for Naturalization Fraud and Judicially Denaturalized
RALEIGH, N.C. – Yesterday in federal court, Cruz Miguel Aguina, 40, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Terrence W. Boyle to eight months in prison following a guilty plea to immigration fraud. Moreover, Aguina was judicially denaturalized as a U.S. citizen.
According to court records, on July 3, 2019, Aguina fraudulently obtained U.S. citizenship by making materially false statements under oath regarding his naturalization application. In response to the question “Were you EVER involved in any way with any of the following:…Forcing, or trying to force, someone to have any kind of sexual contact or relations?” he answered “No.” Also, in response to the question “Have you ever committed, assisted in committing, or attempted to commit, a crime or offense for which you were not arrested?” he answered “No.”
On June 16, 2022, in the Superior Court of North Carolina in Johnston County, Aguina was convicted of statutory rape of a child. He was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of between 240 and 348 months and ordered to register as a sex offender. According to the transcript of plea and judgment issued by the court, Aguina confessed to having committed the crime from January 1, 2019, through December 30, 2019. Therefore, the offense was ongoing at the time he made the false statements for his naturalization application.
Michael Easley, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina made the announcement. Agents with ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations and Homeland Security Investigations, assigned to the Document Benefit Fraud Task Force, investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Sebastian Kielmanovich prosecuted the case.

US holding ‘more than 100’ Russian citizens in jail – ambassador
Most of the charges are politically motivated, Anatoly Antonov has said
More than a hundred Russian nationals are currently in American prisons or jails, Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov has revealed. The comments came after he visited two Russians jailed in New York on Wednesday, as part of his diplomatic duties.
“We will definitely continue the practice of visiting our compatriots who ended up in American dungeons,” Antonov told reporters. “According to some reports, we actually have more than 100 people.”
Antonov had traveled from Washington, DC to Brooklyn, New York to visit two Russian citizens, Anatoly Legkodymov and Dmitry Ukrainsky. He told reporters that most of the charges Russian citizens face in the US are politically motivated.
“I have heard more than once that if you are Russian, this means that you should receive a longer sentence than if you were, for example, Italian, French or British,” Antonov said.
Legkodymov was charged in January with disobeying US banking laws while operating cryptocurrency exchange Bitzlato from Hong Kong. He was a resident of China, but had allegedly lived in Miami, Florida for a while – which the US considered enough to claim jurisdiction.
According to federal prosecutors, Legkodymov “knowingly allowed Bitzlato to become a perceived safe haven for funds used for and resulting from a variety of criminal activities,” and “failed to meet US regulatory safeguards, including anti-money laundering requirements.” If convicted, he faces up to five years behind bars.
Ukrainsky was accused of money laundering in Thailand. He pleaded not guilty but was sentenced to ten years in 2019. He is expected to be released on parole, but Thai authorities extradited him to the US in June 2022 instead. Though Ukrainsky insists he had never even been to the US, American authorities claim he stole over $300,000 from the accounts of US citizens.
Earlier this week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said there were “more than 60” Russian citizens currently in US prisons, many on “dubious” charges, and several who had been “abducted” by US authorities from third countries. He brought up the case of Maria Butina, a Russian gun rights activist who was imprisoned in the US on trumped-up charges.
Butina was arrested at the height of ‘Russiagate’ hysteria and charged with conspiring to act as an unregistered foreign agent. She spent over 18 months in jail and then in federal prison, before she was deported to Russia in October 2019.

Internal Revenue Service Hiring Armed Agents for All 50 States
An Internal Revenue Service (IRS) job posting shows the tax collection agency is hiring armed agents to work in states across the country.
The IRS website is emblazoned with the words, “We’re Hiring Special Agents Now!”
Among the major duties of IRS special agents is to “be willing and able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments.”
Another duty is to “carry a firearm.”
The website say a special agent “must be prepared to protect him/herself or others from physical attacks at any time and without warning and use firearms in life-threatening situations; must be willing to use force up to and including the use of deadly force.”
Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) notes that the IRS has “360 vacancies” for agents, and those vacancies are spread across all 50 states.
President Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress used the Inflation Reduction Act to send $80 billion to the IRS, and ATR points out the IRS is “on pace to hire 87,000 IRS employees over the next decade.”

‘Conspiracy Theories’ That Turned Out to Be TRUE

Congress moves to free IRS whistleblower to talk about Hunter Biden probe, protect him from reprisal
House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith pointedly warns IRS commissioner to protect agent from retaliation.
The tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee took a key step Thursday to free an IRS agent to reveal to lawmakers his concerns about political interference in the Hunter Biden criminal investigation as its powerful chairman pointedly admonished the agency's director to protect the whistleblower from any reprisals.
"Last week, a whistleblower came forward with troubling claims about abuses of power," Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.) told IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel at the start of an oversight hearing on the agency's affairs. "We are conducting a review of this matter and will go wherever the facts lead us. I expect full cooperation from the IRS, particularly with regard to ensuring this whistleblower is protected from retaliation."
While most of the hearing was reserved to address congressional Republicans' other concerns with the agency, like audits, Smith's opening statement punctuated just how seriously Congress is taking the whistleblower's allegations that agents have been blocked from taking certain steps to investigate Biden family matters.
Smith's committee officially sent a letter authorizing two lawyers for the IRS whistleblower to gather information from their client about what alleged wrongdoing he witnessed during his time investigating Hunter Biden's tax affairs and to transmit that information to Congress.
The letter frees the agent and his lawyers from what is known as 6103 tax privacy obligations so the allegations can be relayed to Congress for investigation.
On the other side of the Capitol, the Senate Finance Committee, led by Democrat Chairman Ron Wyden of Oregon, was expected to do the same.
The agent has not been identified by name, only by his rank as an IRS supervisory criminal investigator. His lawyer Mark Lytle told Just the News last week that if freed from tax privacy restrictions his client could provide Congress contemporaneous documents and witnesses to substantiate his allegations.
The developments Thursday on Capitol Hill came as lawyers for Hunter Biden reportedly met with Justice Department investigators to discuss the possibility that the president's son might son face criminal charges related to his taxes and statements he made on a gun application.

War Threatens Ukraine Auto Empire Of Biden Megadonor And Lender Who's Urging Greater U.S. Role
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky isn’t the only one demanding more military assistance from President Biden to protect Kiev from Russian forces. So too is a close Delaware friend and financial backer of Biden, who owns several luxury car dealerships around the Ukrainian capital.
By sending billions of dollars in weapons and other military aid to help defend Ukraine, Biden also is securing the investments of millionaire car magnate John Hynansky, a Ukrainian American and longtime supporter of the president.
Over the course of Biden’s political career, Hynansky and his family have contributed more than $100,000 to his campaigns, including $8,000 in 2020, Federal Election Commission records show. Hynansky family members have been guests at the White House, and Hynansky has floated hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans to Biden family members, property records show. Hynansky’s son, Michael, who helps run his car empire, lent the use of his Lear jet to Biden when he was a senator.
Since Russia started shelling the area around Kiev in February 2022, the U.S. government has spent $77 billion to help Ukraine rebuild and repel future attacks.
Government ethics watchdogs say the president’s friendship poses a potential conflict of interest that demands a full accounting of how the massive foreign aid, which includes open-ended humanitarian and economic assistance, has been used and who has benefited from it. On the military side, moreover, billions of dollars have gone to unspecified areas, such as “security," “intelligence," and “training." In the past, Hynansky has supplied the police cars and ambulances in several regions of Ukraine.
The Biden administration helped Hynansky’s team in Ukraine prepare for the invasion, including placing calls to his top executive in Kiev 13 days in advance of Russian tanks crossing the border. It has sent billions of dollars to help rebuild war-torn cities where Hynansky operates the largest share of the country’s car showrooms and service centers specializing in Porsches, Jaguars, Land Rovers, and Bentleys, among other non-American brands he imports.
Although supporting Ukraine is a policy with widespread – though not universal – bipartisan support in Washington, the president’s close relationship with Hynansky illustrates larger ethical questions that have long surrounded Biden and his family members, who often have financial interests directly affected by policies he endorses. While serving as President Obama’s point man in Ukraine in 2015, Biden famously demanded the firing of a prosecutor who was investigating a natural gas company, Burisma, that was paying his son Hunter $80,000 per month to serve on its board. Recent revelations of lucrative dealings with concerns tied to China’s Communist government while Joe Biden was both in and out of office have also raised questions about his current policy toward Beijing.
