A drug dealer in South Florida has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison after distributing fentanyl that led to the overdose death of a baby in 2022, NBC6 reported this week.
Darnell Mendez, 36, was sentenced Tuesday and will have five years of supervised released in addition to his prison sentence, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida.
Both Mendez and his girlfriend, Samantha Yi, pled guilty in the case. Yi is facing at least 20 years in prison, with her sentencing scheduled for Jan. 9, the report states.
Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office deputies had responded to a 911 call on March 31, 2022, for an infant in distress. When they got to the scene, they found a 10-month-old who had ingested fentanyl.
The baby taken to a Boynton Beach hospital and then transferred to Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood. She died days later on April 5, 2022.
An autopsy revealed that the baby’s cause of death was fentanyl intoxication. The medical examiner ruled the baby’s death a homicide, according to the report.
The baby’s parents were drug addicts who abused fentanyl regularly in their apartment, authorities said. Investigators found fentanyl when searching the apartment.
“It was also learned that the baby was teething and had ingested the fentanyl while in the care of her mother and while her father was at work,” according to the report. “The mother was arrested and charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child by culpable negligence.”
The Drug Enforcement Administration worked with authorities to identify the dealers who sold the fentanyl that caused the baby’s death.
Investigators identified Yi as a dealer upon examining months of electronic communications about drug transactions between Yi and the baby’s mother, according to the report.
Investigators further found that the baby’s mother bought fentanyl from Yi on March 30 — the day before the baby ingested it, authorities said.
Officials said investigators found that Mendez was also involved in the distribution of fentanyl. An undercover operation ultimately led to the arrest of Yi and Mendez at their home in Lake Worth in March, the report states.
Officials said they had 14 firearms in their home at the time of their arrests, despite being convicted felons.
Authorities said Mendez has a long rap sheet, including a history of controlled substance and violence crime offenses, and may qualify as a career criminal.
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] This is what happens when Trump supporters are labeled "garbage," "Nazis," and "Fascists" by Democrat leaders and their media stenographers.

Isn't that a hate crime? Ah, never mind. It's o.k. in the Dems' mind to hate Trump and MAGA supporters.
[JTN] Center for Countering Digital Hate, the bane of Elon Musk, is registered in U.S. as 501(c)(3), but "there is no material separation between it and the original entity of the same name" in U.K., America First Legal says.
A U.K. group that purports to police disinformation may have to register as "agents of a foreign principal" for alleged election interference, based on its interactions with U.S. policymakers including the attorney general of Connecticut, according to a federal complaint Thursday.
America First Legal formally asked the Justice Department to review the Center for Countering Digital Hate under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, noting its connections to the U.K. and Scottish Labour Party, the Parliament of each, and the White House.
Nine days earlier, former Senate Finance Committee investigator Paul Thacker and Twitter Files journalist Matt Taibbi released their investigation based on leaked documents into CCDH's written plan to "kill [Elon] Musk's Twitter," now X, which was so important to the group it has been listed as "first item in the template of its monthly agenda notes" since January.
CCDH's founder Morgan McSweeney, reportedly "the brains" behind U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's rise to power and his new chief of staff, is even advising the Kamala Harris presidential campaign, Politico reported when she took over the top of the Democratic ticket this past summer.
McSweeney set up the Labour Party's affiliated think tank Labour Together at the same time as CCDH, in the wake of Labour's 2017 election gains, with 30 new members of Parliament.
"McSweeney is lionized, not just for a [Clinton campaign advisory James] Carville-style rightward tilt within the party, but for mastery of fundraising and dark money," Thacker and Taibbi wrote, and Labour Together "has been operating in the U.S. for several years through CCDH."
DOJ has not responded to a query on AFL's request by Just the News on Friday.
CCDH is already the subject of a House Judiciary Committee probe for the Biden administration using its "Disinformation Dozen" list to pressure social media to censor Robert F. Kennedy Jr. among others. AFL previously showed Biden counterterrorism officials sought CCDH's counsel.
CCDH also beat a lawsuit by X earlier this year alleging it illegally scraped tweets to document an increase in supposed hate speech since Musk's purchase and rebranding of Twitter, driving away its advertisers in the process.
It may have more trouble avoiding FARA, at least if a second Trump administration materializes.
"While CCDH is registered to operate in the United States as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, there is no material separation between it and the original entity of the same name established in the United Kingdom," AFL said Thursday. Tax records show three U.S. board members are also on the U.K. board and a fourth, an MP, stepped down from the latter July 11, the FARA letter notes.

The UK has been messing with our elections for too long.
They are the inferior country in the partnership. They are no longer an empire and we are not their f...ing colony.
If they keep behaving like this we should just dump them as they act like an enemy and not an ally.
[Breitbart] President Joe Biden’s border deputies invited four times more migrants in October than the number of extra jobs created by CEOs, according to data obtained by NewsNation.
Business groups created 12,000 additional jobs in September, amid an economic slowdown at the strike at Boeing. The 12,000 number was one-ninth of the 112,500 new jobs that were expected.
But Biden’s deputies also invited 49,840 more parole migrants to fly or bus into the U.S. for jobs during October. Those “parole migrants” are welcomed by the Office of Field Operations (OFO) at the ports of entry along the border.
An additional 56,580 migrants– including many women and children – crossed the border illegally and were registered by the Border Patrol. Some will be deported.
Biden’s deputies also welcomed at least 150,000 legal immigrants, foreign temporary workers, and refugees.
The more-migrants-than-jobs news prompted jeers from Americans who want more jobs and higher wages for Americans.
“More illegal aliens crossed our border last week than jobs added for all of October,” said a tweet from Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI). “That’s Kamalonomics,” he added, as he blamed Kamala Harris who dodged an oversight over over migration in March 2021.
The new migrants will inflate the nation’s consumer economy and create more jobs, say migration advocates.
The migrant workers will trim wages, raise profits, and so incentivize U..S. CEOs to create more jobs. The additional women and children migrants will act as consumers, creating more jobs and profits at retail stores, groceries, and schools, they argue.
All of the migrants will need shelter, either at taxpayer-funded progressive shelters or in apartments owned by landlords. The gusher of new migrant renters will push up rents and encourage investors to build more apartments, say migration advocates.
The migrants are poor — especially because their wages are low and their rents are high — so their arrival will also pump up the hiring of government aid workers, such as social workers and welfare approval officers, say advocates.
[GATEWAY] In case you have not been paying attention — leftist groups around the country have been caught corrupting our elections by dumping tens of thousands of bogus ballot registrations into our voter rolls. This is taking place in state after state.
PENNSYLVANIA Lancaster County, Pennsylvania city officials announced eight days ago that they were investigating a massive fraudulent voter registration operation investigation involving thousands of fraudulent voter registrations. At least 2,500 ballot registrations were in question.
On Saturday, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania announced that they were also investigating hundreds of fake ballot registrations that were turned in recently by a questionable voter registration group. Lancaster, Monroe and York Counties in Pennsylvania have reported similar criminal acts and they are investigating. At least two counties reported that Field+Media Corps was behind the thousands of fraudulent registrations. The ballot registration harvesting group is based in Arizona.
MICHIGAN
The Gateway Pundit reported extensively about the leftist group GBI Strategies, a Democrat-linked group that received funding from Joe Biden and the Democrat Senatorial Campaign, that was caught dumping thousands of fraudulent ballots into the 2020 election in Michigan. GBI Strategies had “canvassers” working in several black-majority cities in Michigan, including Flint, Benton Harbor, Ypsilanti, Inkster, Southfield, Muskegon, Lansing, and Saginaw.
The FBI took over the GBI investigation in where it went to die.
An official with GBI, Brianna Hawkins, admitted to police that the group turned in hundreds of fake registrations and was operating in several states and Washington DC.
OHIO
In August 2024, The Hamilton County Ohio Board of Elections turned over several suspicious voter registration applications Ohio Secretary of State’s Public Integrity Division. According to Hamilton County Board of Elections members, the voter registrations in question were recently turned in by the self-described “progressive” voter registration organization Black Fork Strategies. Hamilton County Director of Elections Sherry Poland held up a large stack of voter registrations during a local meeting about an inch thick to show how many registrations one canvasser from Black Fork Strategies turned in with that all appeared to have the same handwriting. The investigation was turned over to the Secretary of State.
ARIZONA
This now leads us to Arizona. According to the far-left media outlet, Arizona Central, Maricopa County officials reported that 90,000 registration forms were turned in by a third-party group on the last day of voter registration (October 7) in the state. This tends to be a similar practice to other leftist registration harvesting groups – dumping thousands on state clerks around the cut off date for registering to vote.
According to the Arizona Republic 40,000 of the registrations or almost half of the total were damaged or incomplete and could not be used.
Maricopa Spokesperson Taylor Kinnerup said many forms were dated weeks prior. Arizona state law mandates that third-party groups submit registration forms to election officials “within five days” of collecting the forms from voters. So this was another infraction by the group.
The third-party group that dumped the thousands of registrations on the final day of registering pays their employees by the number of ballots the turn in. So they are incentivizing the fraud.
It should be clear at this point that this is how Democrats are finding their new voters. It appears the majority of these “new voters” may be fake registrations.

When they corrupt the peaceful means of revolution the Founders put in place, they leave only the violent means as an alternative. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Those who erase history intend to repeat it.

Yes, P2k, but as long as the media covers for them the cheat never happened.

If you had an organization that was trying to find and register Democrat voters, you might average about 1 completed registration for every 1 hours of an employee or volunteer talking to people. That is a conservative estimate based on watching people try to hawk cell phone plans at WalMart. 90,000 registrations represents a significant chunk of people hours over an extended period. Those registrations could have been delivered well before the due date, if everything is on the up and up.

[ZERO] "Undeniably," admits Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman to podcaster Joe Rogan, "immigration is changing our nation."
The two men spoke about a wide variety of political topics ranging from how Donald Trump won in 2016 to how immigration stands as a key issue in the election today.
Specifically, Fetterman played the Democratic Party card, claiming that Republicans in 2024 "had an opportunity to do a comprehensive border-bipartisan-and that went down because Trump, he declared that that's a bad deal after it was negotiated with the other side." Thanks, Jim Lankford
Rogan then brutally 'fact-checked' the stammering senator, pointing out the reality that that the deal made many concessions that Republicans concerned about the border found to be unacceptable.
"But, didn't that deal also involved amnesty," responded Rogan,"and didn't that deal also involve a significant number of illegal aliens being allowed into the country every year?"
Silence from Fetterman.
Rogan continued:
"I think it was 2 million people. So still the same sort of situation. And their fear is exactly what I talked about, that these people will be moved to swing states and that that will be used to essentially rig those states and turn them blue forever."
Finally, the PA Senator responded
"I've never witnessed those kinds [illegals voting] of a thing... I don't think there's that level kinds of organization."
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] As reported earlier, the RNC filed a lawsuit on Saturday after four Georgia counties extended their election office hours and decided to accept absentee ballots over the weekend in violation of state law.
Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb and Gwinnett counties are refusing to allow Republican poll watchers in to observe the process, according to the Republican National Committee.
The answer is for the state secretary of state to refuse to record the votes of any county or precinct that refuses to properly follow all rules and regulations. Let ‘em try again for the next election, by which time they may have learnt the necessary lesson.
"This is a blatant violation of Georgia law... which states ’all drop boxes shall be closed when the advance voting period ends,’" the Georgia Republican Party said in a statement on Friday. "To make matters worse, the four election office locations are situated in areas of the county that will clearly favor Democrat candidates."
RNC Chairman Michael Whatley said Democrat officials are playing fast and loose with election law.
According to Georgia state senator representing Forsyth County Greg Dolezal, The Fulton County Registration Manager ordered the staff not to allow GOP observers in the building.
"Do not let them in the building. If they want to observe from the parking lot, you can’t stop that but they are not allowed to sit in the building," the Fulton County Registration Manager said in an email.

I am sorry for him. The only thing good in that town was a Chicken place worth 5 stars but now I went on google maps and it appears to be gone...
Joliet ... it would totally suck to grow up there.
[Daily Montanan] A national conservative talk show host gave Montana Senate candidate Tim Sheehy a chance to address a gunshot wound records suggest happened in Glacier National Park, but the Republican businessman-turned-politician said happened because of friendly fire overseas during his Navy SEAL career.
Sheehy’s appearance left the host commenting, "so confusing."
On Friday, Sheehy appeared on the Megyn Kelly Show with Kelly asking about the gunshot incident, which has drawn both state and national media attention as one of the defining issues that could also determine which political party controls the U.S. Senate. Sheehy is running against three-term incumbent U.S. Sen. Jon Tester, a Democrat from Big Sandy.
Sheehy has insisted that a bullet in his arm is the result of "friendly fire" overseas, and that he didn’t report the incident to commanders for fears of getting in trouble or having to leave combat.
However, a ticket and interview from former Glacier Park ranger Kim Peach in 2015 detailed that Sheehy was instead cited for discharging a firearm in the park, and was treated at an area hospital for the wound. Sheehy himself wrote a handwritten statement at the time admitting the improperly stored firearm fell and discharged into his arm. Sheehy later paid the fine and the gun, a .45-caliber revolver, was returned to him.
On Saturday, Sheehy was asked repeatedly about the wound, and Kelly told him the interview was an opportunity to clarify what happened as the issue has been repeatedly at the center of the campaign. The Democrats have used it to make their case he’s lying and not to be trusted.
Sheehy said on the program that the friendly fire likely happened because of foreign forces that the U.S. military was helping in Afghanistan, without giving details about when and where the incident happened.
"You’d have Afghans who, either intentionally or unintentionally, would end up shooting friendly forces. You know, sometimes they just start putting their weapons on full auto and start, you know, shooting whatever direction they felt like," Sheehy said.
In his memoir, Sheehy said he was hit by friendly fire from "a total stud who went on to a successful career as a SEAL."
In the interview with Kelly, he said that he didn’t report the incident to commanders because it could break up their team with investigations, and also risked him being sent back for medical treatments, something, Sheehy told Kelly, he didn’t want to have happen.
"You know, we were at about half strength this point in our deployment. We’d have many teammates wounded and sent home," Sheehy said. "And you know me, as a team commander, there was no position to be to be carved off the battlefield. Many of us were injured multiple times. We don’t report that simply because we’re going to stay in the fight, stay with our team. We’re going to finish our deployment and do our job. So unless those injuries are life threatening, of course, you know, if you’ve lost a limb, like some of our teammates had, or there’s a severe injury, you’re going to you’re going to deal with that, because that person has to be cared for, but otherwise you just keep on moving."
Kelly tried redirecting the conversation several times to the incident itself, but Sheehy sidestepped the question, for example, in this exchange:
"No, that was never the allegation that. But the point is, you know, it was a friendly fire ricochet downrange that wasn’t reported at the time and after," Sheehy said.
"I don’t want to harp on this. I just want to give you the chance. I want to give you the chance to explain yourself, because this is their closing message. It’s all about this incident, but voters are confused," Kelly said.
Instead, Sheehy said that when he was hiking in Glacier, he felt the bullet became dislodged and went to the hospital.
"Just to be clear: Did you shoot yourself in the arm?" she asked....
"No, we’ve discussed this at length, repeatedly with every media outlet for the last year. It’s been beat to death," Sheehy said.
However, both national and state media have reported that Sheehy has ducked interviews and not responded to questions surrounding the bullet incident in Glacier National Park.
On two previous occasions, the Daily Montanan has put in requests to the Sheehy campaign for medical records regarding that incident. The Sheehy campaign did not respond to either of those requests.
The Daily Montanan renewed the requests on Sunday morning.
