[FOXNEWS] A suspected MS-13 gang member set to go on trial next week for the horrific 2018 slaying of his Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, girlfriend's 10-year-old son is a native of El Salvador and living in the U.S. illegally, according to a law enforcement source.
Kareem Ernesto Leiva, 37, and his American girlfriend Heather Maxine Barron, 33, are both charged with murder and torture in the death of her son, Anthony Avalos, as well as child abuse against two other children in the home, court records show.
Prosecutors allege the boy had been beaten, starved, forced to kneel on rice, force-fed, whipped and more in a home where he was allegedly subjected to "extreme physical pain and suffering."
While in jail, Leiva allegedly shanked another inmate, according to court documents, and was accused of domestic violence against females in both 2010 and 2013.
His brother, Mauricio Leiva, is another alleged MS-13 member who was indicted in a federal racketeering case against a deadly drug ring in 2016, court documents show.
Leiva and Barron's murder trial in Los Angeles is scheduled to begin next week. Jonathan Hatami, who rose to prominence as the lead prosecutor in the Gabriel Fernandez trial, and Saeed Teymouri are assigned to the case.
Leiva's defense attorney, Dan Chambers, did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment

Texas and Arizona are getting all the press these days. But California also shares a border with Mexico, and this is fair warning for them to be a bit more vigilant. Not that they will heed it.

[IsraelTimes] Maher Younis greeted by his mother in northern town of ’Ara; National Security Ministry says officers told to clamp down on any public displays of jubilation, support for terrorism
An Arab Israeli terrorist who served 40 years for murdering an Israel Defense soldier was released from prison on Thursday, with large numbers of police deployed in and around his hometown to prevent celebrations upon his arrival.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said in a statement that police were instructed to "act decisively" against any revelry or display of support for terrorism when Maher Younis arrives at his home, including enforcing a ban against displaying the Paleostinian national flag.
Younis and his cousin Karim Younis, both from the town of ’Ara in northern Israel, murdered Cpl. Avraham Bromberg in 1980. The pair were given life sentences that were commuted to 40 years by then-president Shimon Peres in 2012.
When Karim Younis was released earlier this month, public celebrations were held in his hometown despite a directive from Ben Gvir to prevent that.
Maher Younis’s family was said to be preparing for thousands of people to greet him, though they told media that they would keep to the guidelines laid down by police and would not let the event become a public rally celebrating the convict. "It's not a public rally. They're all close friends"
Members of the Younis family were reportedly summoned by police before the release and told they could not set up a welcome tent at their home for guests. They were also warned that any Paleostinian flags displayed would be seized. The family committed to not holding public celebrations for the release.
Video circulated on social media showed Younis’s mother greeting her son with a white cloak and a garland of flowers. The pair were surrounded by a throng of people, though many appeared to be members of the media.
Footage showed dozens of chairs set up at the Younis home on Thursday morning.
After he was received by family and friends, Younis urged the "unification of all Paleostinian factions because the security prisoners are suffering a lot," according to the Kan public broadcaster.
"Together we may succeed. We are in a difficult political period and we need to fight intelligently," he said. "We are a nation of heroes. We do not surrender. The state asked not to celebrate. Regards to all the members of the prisoners’ families. I hope they will be released soon."
Younis also received a congratulatory phone call from Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase.... who hailed the former prisoner as a "symbol of the Paleostinian people. According to Paleostinian media reports, Younis told Abbas, "I am prepared to serve another 40 years in order to liberate the homeland of Paleostine.
The National Security Ministry said in a statement that officials had held a meeting during which "all participants agreed that the waving of terrorist flags, chants that the terrorist is a hero, and parading of murderers are illegal steps and the police were instructed to prevent them."
Police were ordered "to act decisively and resolutely against the scenes of terrorism and support for terrorism that we saw last week in ’Ara" when Karim Younis was released earlier this month, the statement said.
[IsraelTimes] Mehdi Hashemi Rafsanjani ... the fourth President of Iran. He was a member of the Assembly of Experts until he was eased out in 2011 He continues, for the moment, as Chairman of the Expediency Discernment Council. In 2005 he ran for a third term as president, ultimately losing to rival Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who was in Khamenei's graces back then. In 1980 Rafsanjani survived an assassination attempt, during which he was seriously injured. He has been described as a centrist and a pragmatic conservative without all that much reason. He is currently being eased out of any position of actual influence or power and may be dead by the end of 2012... , 53, was convicted in 2015 of fraud, embezzlement and undermining national security, charges that he has previously denounced as ’politically motivated’.
A son of former Iranian president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani has been sprung after serving more than seven years of a 10-year jail sentence for fraud, Iranian media reported Wednesday.
Mehdi Hashemi Rafsanjani, 53, left Tehran’s Evin Prison late Tuesday, his lawyer Vahid Abolmaali said, quoted by the ISNA news agency.
State prosecutors said his release was "conditional," ISNA reported.
Hashemi Rafsanjani was convicted of fraud, embezzlement and undermining national security in August 2015, charges he had previously denounced as "politically motivated."
He had served as a bigwig in Iran’s oil sector in the mid-2000s, a period when Norway’s Statoil and French energy company Total were suspected of paying bribes to obtain access to the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s hydrocarbon reserves.
In 2018, a Gay Paree criminal court found Total guilty of "corruption of a foreign public agent" for payments made to Hashemi Rafsanjani for help in securing rights to the huge South Pars offshore gas field which Iran ...The nation is noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence... shares with Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... in the Gulf.
In 2009, Hashemi Rafsanjani aroused the anger of conservatives by forming a "vote protection committee" for that year’s presidential election.
He actively supported reformist candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, whose allegations of large-scale fraud in favor of populist incumbent Mahmoud Short Round Ahmadinejad prompted mass protests.
Mehdi’s father, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, served as president from 1989 to 1997 and was regarded as a moderate who supported improving ties with the West.
Earlier this month, Rafsanjani’s daughter Faezeh Hashemi was sentenced to five years in prison for "collusion against the security of the country."
She was arrested in September and convicted of inciting Tehran residents to join protests over the death in jug of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurd, who had been arrested for allegedly violating Iran’s strict dress code for women.
