China purchasing oil from Iran 'illegal' - Pompeo
United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo asserted on Friday that China and the companies from that country shouldn't buy Iranian oil as it "violates the US law," adding that Washington intends to "enforce sanctions against every violator of its restrictions." He also stressed that he's "confident" that the US "will execute on the commitment" its president Donald Trump made when claimed he won't allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.
"China’s rise, its desire to impose its will around the world, continues to be something that America has to be very focused on. JCPOA let them proceed along every element of development of a program that could lead to the capability to, have a nuclear weapon that was fully deliverable," Pompeo told The Hugh Hewitt Radio Show.

Feds Indict 5 New Mexico Compound Residents On Terrorism And Gun Charges
March 14, 20197:58 PM ET
A federal grand jury in Albuquerque has indicted five residents of a rural New Mexico compound on new terrorism-related charges connected to an alleged conspiracy to attack FBI and military personnel.
The five defendants were arrested last year after authorities found 11 malnourished children living in squalor in the small community of Amalia, near the New Mexico-Colorado border. They also discovered a large cache of weapons, leading to charges of conspiracy and illegal possession of firearms.
The superseding indictment announced Thursday charges Jany Leveille, 36; Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, 40; Hujrah Wahhaj, 38; Subhanah Wahhaj, 36; and Lucas Morton, 41; with a conspiracy to provide material support for terrorist attacks on federal officers and employees.
"The indictment alleges that the defendants conspired to provide material support in preparation for violent attacks against federal law enforcement officers and members of the military," said Assistant Attorney General John C. Demers in a statement. "Advancing beliefs through terror and violence has no place in America, and the National Security Division continues to make protecting against terrorism its top priority."
Attorneys for the defendants withheld comment, saying that they are waiting for more information from the government.
"We still don't have all the documents from the government regarding this case," said Amy Sirignano, who represents Morton, as quoted by The Associated Press.
Sirignano said in an email sent to the AP on behalf of the defense that their clients would plead not guilty when they are arraigned next week.
Four of the compound residents also are charged with kidnapping a child who later died. The remains of a small child were discovered three days after the initial raid. The boy, 3-year-old Abdul-Ghani Wahhaj, was the son of defendant Siraj Ibn Wahhaj and had been reported missing from his home in Georgia since December 2017. The search for the child led the FBI to begin monitoring the group and to the eventual raid.
New Mexico state child abuse charges were dismissed last year when prosecutors mishandled the case.
"Federal prosecutors say that between Dec. 2017 and August 2018, the group, who are either siblings or related by marriage, had 'a common plan to prepare for violent attacks on government, military, educational and financial institutions,' " NPR's Vanessa Romo reported in September 2018.
The Justice Department statement laid out the allegations related to preparations for attacks against federal officers and employees:
"According to the superseding indictment, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj and Hujrah Wahhaj gathered firearms and ammunition, and all of the defendants transported people, firearms, and ammunition across state lines and constructed a training compound where they stored firearms and ammunition. The superseding indictment further alleges that Siraj Ibn Wahhaj and Morton constructed and maintained a firing range at the compound where they engaged in firearms and tactical training for other compound occupants, and that Leveille and Morton attempted to recruit others to their cause.
"The superseding indictment also charges Leveille, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, and Morton with conspiring to attack and kill officers and employees of the United States, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1117. It was a part and an object of the conspiracy that the defendants would kill officers and employees of the United States, specifically, Federal Bureau of Investigation employees, government officials, and military personnel."

Renezmae Trial Delayed to Fall 2020
By Nathanael King SUN Staff Writer Nov 29, 2019
Malcolm Torres’ trial for the alleged murder of 5-year-old Renezmae Calzada was pushed back nearly a year Tuesday when the U.S. District Court accepted a joint motion from Torres’ defense and prosecutors for a continuance due to the complexity of the case.
Jury selection, with a trial to follow immediately, has been moved from Dec. 2 this year to Oct. 19, 2020.
The Nov. 13 joint motion stated extensive interviews, medical evidence and digital evidence have been collected in the case. Prosecutors reportedly provided the defense with thousands of pages of discovery—or facts of the case—as well as multiple recordings and a modified copy of Torres’ cell phone contents including nearly 30,000 images.
The parties said they will likely need to consult medical and possibly other experts to draft reports, and will each need to collect additional evidence.
While the Office of the Medical Investigator has reportedly provided preliminary autopsy reports, the final report is not complete.
The order from Chief United States District Judge William Johnson granting the motion sets out a 16-point schedule of deadlines for each party to complete aspects of pretrial research, documentation and motions.
Prosecution’s discovery deadline is Dec. 13 and the defense’s Jan. 10, with each required to disclose additional discovery to the other. Expert witness notices and reports are due April 13, and disclosure of witness and exhibit lists are due Aug. 10. A pretrial conference is set for Sept. 28.
The Sept. 24, 2019 grand jury indictment of Torres alleged he killed Calzada on or about Sept. 7, the day before her mother, Victoria Maestas, reported her missing. Maestas told E911 dispatchers on the evening of Sept. 8 that she was at work and that Torres, her ex-boyfriend, had just called and told her Calzada had been missing since 9:30 a.m.
Calzada did not attend her classes at Fairview Elementary the week before her death. After days of mass searching from several government agencies and scores of community members, law enforcement found her body Sept. 11 in the Rio Grande in Santa Clara Pueblo.
The Albuquerque Journal reported Maestas and Torres had been in a custody dispute and that a protection order previously filed by Maestas claimed Torres had threatened and physically hurt her in the past.
The FBI arrested Torres in Pojoaque Pueblo Oct. 27 with the assistance of the Española Police Department, according to an FBI press release. Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center officials had released him on good time for unrelated charges that morning, Center Public Information Specialist Candace Hopkins wrote in an email.
Torres pleaded not guilty at his arraignment and Judge Kirtan Khalsa opted to detain him until his trial, based on the nature of his alleged crime, prior failures to appear in court, and a criminal history including a string of DWI charges.
