[Breitbart] Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) indicated Wednesday that one of the three suspects arrested for a June 30, 2024, firearm-related New Orleans murder is an illegal alien.
WGNO reported that 19-year-old Joshua Aviala-Bonifacio is the suspect who is in the U.S. illegally. He is alleged to have been involved in the fatal shooting of a New Orleans tour guide, 43-year-old Kristie Thibodaux.
Thibodaux was shot and killed at the corner of Royal and St. Peter streets just after 4:30 a.m. on June 30.
ICE pointed out that on May 11, 2019, "Border Patrol had a run-in with Aviala-Bonifacio in Texas and determined he was inadmissible"
The agency noted Aviala-Bonfiacio’s interactions with law enforcement since entering the country:
On May 14, 2019, the U.S. Border Patrol released Aviala-Bonifacio on an order of recognizance.
On October 6, 2023, the Kenner Police Department (KPD) arrested Aviala-Bonifacio for theft under the alias Joshua Avila.
On February 14, 2024, the KPD again arrested Aviala-Bonifacio for theft, contributing to the delinquency of juveniles, and three Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office fugitive attachments.
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) reacted to ICE’s announcement on Aviala-Bonifacio in a post on X:
One of the other suspects allegedly connected to the murder is a 15-year-old boy who "was supposedly under supervision by an electronic ankle monitoring device."

[AFRICANEWS] The military junta Captain Ibrahim Traoré in Burkina Faso ...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president used to be Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and was chased out in 2014. Now it's the usual army officer type guy, Captain Ibrahim Traore, running things, who's just doing a bang-up job unless he's already been deposed... has approved a revised family code that criminalizes homosexuality.
This decision makes Burkina Faso one of the 22 out of 54 African countries that do not allow same-sex relationships, with severe penalties such as death or long prison sentences in some regions.
The council approved a decree for a new Personal and Family Code (CPF) that "enshrines the ban on homosexuality" in the country, the presidency announced in a statement.
"From now on, homosexuality and related practices are prohibited and punishable by law," emphasized the Minister of Justice, Edasso Rodrigue Bayala.
Although the specific penalties were not outlined, and the text is yet to be approved by the deputies of the Transitional Legislative Assembly, "Death by Bunga Bunga!"
Burkina Faso may now joins the ranks of Uganda that enacted one of the harshest anti-LGBTQ laws globally in May of last year.

What's the next pro agitator protest group going to be, Queers for Burkina Faso?
[AFRICANEWS] Algeria's president announced on Thursday that he intends to run for a second term in office, five years after ascending to power as the military and establishment-backed candidate during widespread pro-democracy protests.
The 78-year-old political veteran, Abdelmadjid Tebboune said in an interview to be broadcast on Algerian television that his decision came in response to support from political parties and young people.
"If the Algerian people want to vote for me, that’s fine, otherwise I’ll have accomplished my mission and whoever succeeds me will be welcome," he said, lauding his record as well as the gas-rich North African country's security and stability.
Tebboune has avoided declaring his intentions even after the Sept. 7 election date was set almost four months ago.
Despite his demurrals, his intentions were "an open secret" and his candidacy a byproduct of discussions among the political elite, says political scientist Rachid Grime.
Besides Tebboune, 34 candidates have announced plans to run in the election.

"If Biden can do it, so can I" he mumbled in the announcement speech.
[GEO.TV] Pakistain has ruled out any dialogue with the banned terrorist outfit Tehrik-e-Taliban ...the once and current oppressors of Afghanistan... Pakistain with the Foreign Office saying no talks are possible with elements involved in the killings of Paks and foreigners.
"The TTP is involved in the killing of Pak and foreign citizens inside Pakistain," FO Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said in a weekly news briefing in Islamabad on Thursday.
She said that Pakistain respects Afghanistan's illusory sovereignty and territorial integrity and expects the authorities in the neighbouring country to uphold their illusory sovereignty and take action against terrorist groups that have found sanctuaries on its soil and are using it for launching terror attacks across the border.
Responding to a question, Baloch said Pakistain is committed to implementing the Illegal Foreigners Repatriation Plan [IFRP].
"The IFRP is meant for the implementation of the laws of Pakistain," she said, adding that the plan was designed to launch an action against the illegal immigrants colonists residing in Pakistain without documentation.
She further stated that illegal immigrants colonists from several countries have been sent back to their respective countries under the IFRP.
While referring to the repatriation of illegal foreigners including Afghans to their home countries, the FO spokesperson said that the first phase of this plan was near completion.
Clarifying there were multiple categories of Afghan refugees residing in the country, the spokesperson stressed the country had not not given any understanding to the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) about the "suspension" of the plan.

Why can’t we have an IFRP too?
Is islam pushing open borders for the West but not for the Muslim world?
[GEO.TV] Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb on Thursday said that Pakistain would strike a deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) this month, expressing optimism about the positive progress in talks between Islamabad and the global lender to reach a staff-level agreement on a new bailout programme.
The government is looking to clinch the IMF agreement on a bailout of more than $6 billion after addressing all of the lender's requirements in its annual budget.
"The talks with the IMF are progressing positively," the finance czar said while briefing the National Assembly's Standing Committee on Finance.
Aurangzeb informed the body that no country could run on a 9% tax-to-gross domestic product (GDP) ratio and pledged to raise the ratio to 13%.
"The Fund requires taxation on the actual income which is fair," the minister said.
The federal government presented the tax-loaded Rs18.877 trillion budget for the fiscal year 2024-25 (FY25) last month, aimed at shoring up public revenue and satisfying the IMF, which has repeatedly demanded improved tax collection.
The budget aims to raise Rs13 trillion by next July, a roughly 40% increase from the current financial year, to bring down a ruinous debt burden that has caused 57% of government revenue to be swallowed by interest payments.
The tax rises mostly fall on salaried workers, who comprise a relatively small part of Pakistain’s mostly informal economy, as well as some retail and export businesses. The budget also threatened punitive measures for tax avoiders, including restrictions on mobile phones, gas and electricity access and the ability to fly abroad.
On Sunday, the finance minister warned that Pakistain won't be able to break lose from IMF bailouts if it fails to boost tax revenue.
[GEO.TV] Many details still need to be hammered out to secure a deal between Israel and Hamas for a ceasefire and the release of hostages from Gaza, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Thursday.
"There's still miles to go before we close if we are able to close. So I don't want to say that it's immediately around the corner, but it does not have to be far out in the distance if everyone comes in this with the will to get it done," Sullivan told reporters, adding that there has been no change in policy with regard to a US pause of shipment of 2,000 pound bombs to Israel.
Sullivan also said President Joe Biden will soon give an update on the status of ceasefire talks.
