[FoxNews] Homan tells ‘America’s Newsroom’ that he plans to works with Secretary Noem on the case
Outrage is growing after the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation announced it will release an undocumented immigrant convicted of killing two American teenagers, more than six years before his original sentence was set to end.
Trump border czar Tom Homan says he’s stepping in.
"I will work with [Homeland Security] Secretary Noem on this case, and I guarantee you, if they don’t honor the detainer, we’ll have ICE agents outside that facility to take custody of this individual and deport him," Homan said Wednesday on "America’s Newsroom."
Oscar Eduardo Ortega-Anguiano was driving drunk at high speed in 2021 when he crashed into a car carrying 19-year-olds Anya Varfolomeev and Nicholay Osokin. Both teens were killed in the fiery wreck. Ortega-Anguiano was later convicted of two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2022.
Now, California officials say he will be released early, sparking outrage from the victims' families and immigration officials.
"He's been deported several times, which means he's a felon," Homan said. "Re-entry to the country, deported. Deportation is a felony. We will prosecute him, and we will deport him."
According to ICE, Ortega-Anguiano has a long criminal history, including prior convictions for burglary in 2005, vehicle theft in 2007, and battery with kidnapping in 2014. Homan says those prior offenses, and his repeated illegal re-entry into the country, make the case especially egregious.
ICE has issued a detainer requesting custody of Ortega-Anguiano upon his release. However, California’s sanctuary state policies raise questions about whether local officials will comply.
The families of Varfolomeev and Osokin have pushed back on the release and have written letters to the state demanding that Ortega-Anguiano remain behind bars. They also fear that if he is deported, he could find a way to re-enter the country illegally again.
Homan, a longtime enforcer of immigration law, says these types of cases are what drive his passion.
"Everybody asks why I get so emotional on network TV, why I get emotional when I testify," Homan said. "I've met hundreds of angel moms and dads and hear every story. I'll never forget any of those stories. It's just a tragedy."
The border czar remains at the center of ongoing legal battles tied to President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda. Since the president’s return to office, his administration has faced mounting legal challenges, including over plans to end birthright citizenship and expand deportations of undocumented immigrants.
In May, the Supreme Court is set to hear a case involving three federal judges who issued nationwide injunctions against Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants.
Homan also criticized recent rulings, including one by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who temporarily blocked the administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged gang members to El Salvador.
But Homan says these legal obstacles won’t derail their efforts.
"There’s a reason they’re district court judges. They’re not national judges," he said.
"District court judges can't overrule the president's executive orders. This is what we got to fix right away in the Supreme Court so we can actually keep the president’s promise to the American people that we're going to remove national security threats."
[FoxNews] Purcellville, Virginia, town council initially proposed disbanding police force to save $3.2 million
That’s really stupid. Look at what happened to all those communities that defunded their police during the Black Lives Matter craze.
Amid backlash from residents, leaders in a Virginia town voted Tuesday to keep Purcellville's police force a week after they tried to eliminate it to save more than $3 million, according to reports.
The town of Purcellville, located in Loudoun County, Virginia, has found itself around $50 million in the red following the construction of a major wastewater treatment facility, and the council sought to tighten the town’s budget by disbanding the local police department and relying on the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office for law enforcement.
The initial decision to dismantle the police department led to recall petitions to remove several council members and Vice Mayor Ben Nett from office. Council members who proposed eradicating the force said they wanted to do so to reduce water bills for the town’s 9,000 residents.
But the council reversed course and voted to fund the police force at $3.2 million for 2026 at a jam-packed town council meeting Tuesday where outraged residents and other officials voiced their concerns about the proposal.
Good.
The result of the vote was met with cheers by residents in attendance.
Residents who spoke during public comments said they didn’t want to get rid of the police department to save on water bills and criticized the council's vote two weeks ago without having public comment on that particular motion, according to Fox 5 DC.
The four of you snuck agenda items in at the end of the meeting and took away my lawful right to comment on them," one resident said, ABC7 reports.
Sheriff Mike Chapman, of the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, released a statement before the meeting saying the town council and manager had not discussed plans and said a transition could not happen in two months.
The vote came amid a criminal investigation into Vice Mayor Ben Nett for potential violations of Virginia conflict of interest laws, according to Fox 5 DC. Nett was absent from Tuesday night’s meeting.
Ah.
Nett was fired from the Purcellville Police Department on April 8 and within a week he voted to disband it with no effort to recuse himself, a letter from the Loudoun County Commonwealth's attorney states, per Fox 5 DC.
Not just Ah but Ah hah!
The council, meanwhile, has come under fire for other issues too, including appointing former Mayor Kwasi Fraser as town manager without the council interviewing the 82 candidates that applied.
Goodness — that’s an awful lot of candidates. Is the cumshaw especially good?

The typical rot closer to DC has grown into Purcellville. They are having a power struggle and legal issues with trying to manage the town. Purcellville has seen considerable growth the last 15-20 years and the conflicts need resolved to move forward.
[Breitbart] Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison is trying to explain his support for a Muslim children’s organization that is being prosecuted for massive fraud.
Federal prosecutors have been investigating the Minneapolis-based Somali organization that was supposed to be raising funds for children but instead turned into the most expensive fraud concerning COVID funding in the entire nation, where 47 Somali immigrants have been charged with stealing $250 million in federal COVID funding.
Yet, Ellison took a meeting with representatives of that charity even as it was being investigated and now, in an op-ed, he is suddenly claiming, “as for the meeting — if I had had any way of knowing beforehand who those people were and what they’d done, I never would have agreed to it.”
But his claim is hard to square with his past statements on this very group, not to mention a recently released recording of a meeting he took with them.
During Democrat Governor Tim Walz’s terms, the fake Somali charity called “Feeding Our Future” was found to have defrauded the government of millions of dollars, money that was set aside to help children and families during the COVID crisis, but money that was instead redirected to pay for high-priced real estate, cars, clothes, travel expenses, and luxuries for the members of the Somali community that managed the funds.
When the investigation into the charity first came to be public in 2022, AG Ellison claimed that he spent “two years” working closely with the feds to investigate and prosecute the fraudulent behavior – placing the start of his involvement in the investigation in 2020.
“Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and his office have been deeply involved for two years in holding Feeding Our Future accountable,” Ellison’s office insisted in a September, 2022, statement.
However, recently released audio seems to suggest that Ellison took a meeting with the charity in December of 2021, far less than two years before his statement about working with the feds. At this meeting, he seemed to promise to “help” the group with its goals during the same period of time he later claimed he was helping the feds bring the group down.
In the recording of the meeting with the Feeding Our Future representatives, Ellison seems to treat the group as a legitimate organization, does not acknowledge that they are under federal investigation, says he is there to “help” them, and even hints that if he speaks to his office, he could get that investigation dropped.
Ellison has also said that he has never taken anything from Feeding Our Future, but the Washington Free Beacon reports that only nine days after his late 2021 meeting with the group, his campaign accepted a total of $10,000 from the men who were in the meeting.
The high Democrat official, though, is now trying to explain this audio away and scrambling to show how it fits into his claim that he spent two years working with the feds to prosecute the very group he was meeting with only nine months before he claimed he had spent two years investigating them.
In an op-ed published Monday by the Minnesota Star Tribune, Ellison waved off criticism by trying to claim the meeting was “routine,” and is something he would do for any constituent in keeping with his “open door” policy.
He also tried to claim that when he took the meeting, he was not that intimately familiar with the charity and that “Feeding Our Future still wasn’t a household name.” And he admitted in his op-ed that he was unfamiliar with the accusations against the group. Indeed, in his op-ed, Ellison claims that “it wasn’t until a month after this December 2021 meeting that the scandal started to take shape in earnest.”
That would put the meeting well inside the “two years” that Ellison first claimed he was already working with the feds to investigate the charity.
Whatever the case, in his op-ed Ellison avoided trying to square his 2022 claim that he had already spent two years investigating the fraud of Feeding Our Future with the fact that he promised to help them during a meeting he held with them in 2021.
[PJMEDIA] The ongoing sniping between the House Judiciary Committee and Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani ''Cash Stash'' Willis isn't going to end anytime soon. It's been nearly two years since the committee began looking into Willis' ''politically motivated prosecution'' of Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... and 18 co-defendants — and that was months before the scandal erupted involving her relationship with her special counsel, who was underqualified to prosecute corruption cases but was embroiled in an affair with the DA.
In February 2024, the committee subpoenaed records from Willis' office; a year later, the committee demanded more records from the prosecutor's office. Willis has stomped her feet, and her staff has dragged its feet. And Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the chair of the committee, has had enough.
''In a series of letters sent on Thursday, congressional Sherlocks pressed several members of the district attorney's staff to provide testimony and documents related to the since-defunct House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack,'' reports Law and Crime. ''Those requests, the letters note, are a long time in the making — and have long been delayed.''
''On February 6, 2025, the Committee wrote to you requesting documents relating to the Fulton County District Attorney's Office's (FCDAO) coordination with the partisan January 6 Select Committee during its politically-motivated prosecution of President Donald J. Trump, and that you appear for a transcribed interview,'' begins a letter to Chief Senior District Attorney F. McDonald Wakeford. ''The letter asked that you comply with our requests by February 20, 2025.''
''The committee announced Thursday that it continues to seek testimony and documents from four senior employees of District Attorney Fani Willis' office: Chief Senior District Attorney Donald Wakeford, Deputy District Attorney Will Wooten, Assistant Chief Investigator Michael Hill, and Assistant Trina Swanson-Lucas,'' reports Fox 5 Atlanta. ''Letters requesting their voluntary cooperation were sent Thursday afternoon.

Food For Thought
If Fani Willis were F. Willis, White Male and not a (LSD) Black Female. The (D's) could have already tossed him to the Wolves and portraying the person as a rouge.
So, are they stalling, in hopes of pulling off a Mid-term (D) win, which would allow them to hide and bury, the whole Illegal 2020 Coup process?
[Gateway P] A newly unemployed hack
The O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released undercover video of a Defense Department Branch Chief attacking President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Nicolas Turza, a Department of Defense Branch Chief, called President Trump "illegitimate" and vowed to "resist him, everything he does."
Turza also attacked Hegseth and said the 44-year-old is "insanely young" and unfit to lead.
"The same guy who tried to overthrow an election is just, like, truly setting us down a path of dictatorship. He’s illegitimate. He’s terribly immoral, breaking every norm. We’re going to resist him. Everything he does," Turza said about Trump.
"I’m a very patriotic person, and I’ve never been less patriotic," he said to the OMG journalist.
Turza then attacked Pete Hegseth.
"Ultimately [Hegseth] is my boss. But this is insane. I actually know Pete Hegseth. And this is so crazy. Like, that’s not a good reflection on me. That’s a bad reflection on Trump. Like, nobody I know should be the Secretary of Defense," Turza said.
He continued, "Like, he’s insanely young to be the part, like, and he wasn’t that high up in the military. He used to be in the DC National Guard."
When asked about his opinion about Trump, Turza said, "The worst thing about him is his utter lack of moral principle... The second worst thing about him is how stupid he could be."
James O’Keefe said Hegseth has never even heard of Nicolas Turza.

[NYPOST] House and Senate Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... are at a low ebb among Americans under 30, with just 23% approving of party politicians in the wake of President Trump's return to the White House.
A Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics survey released Wednesday found that even as Trump's approval rating among young Americans remains stable, Democrats' favorability numbers have plummeted 25 percentage points since fall 2020 — to just 23% from the relatively dizzying heights of 48%.
In 2017, early in Trump's first presidential term, the survey showed congressional Democrats had a slightly lower approval rating of 42% from younger Americans.

Congressional Dems' support from young Americans hits new low with just 23% approval rating: poll
[NYPOST] Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent ripped the International Monetary Fund on Wednesday for focusing its resources on promoting woke causes instead of economic stability.
Speaking at the Institute of International Finance forum in Washington, DC, Bessent accused the IMF of ''mission creep,'' claiming that the agency ''devotes disproportionate time and resources to work on climate change, gender, and social issues.''
''Focus on these areas is crowding out its work on critical macroeconomic issues,'' Bessent said. ''The IMF has been whistling past the graveyard.''
Papers written by IMF experts voice support for left-leaning causes such as net-zero and carbon taxes. It also takes part in providing data for the controversial global gender inequality index.
