-Lurid Crime Tales-
Illinois man found guilty of murder, hate crime for killing 6-year-old Palestinian-American boy in wake of Oct. 7
Good. That kind of thing is not ok, no matter how distressing world events..
[IsraelTimes] A jury finds an Illinois landlord guilty of murder and hate crime charges for a brutal 2023 attack on a Palestinian American family in which he killed a 6-year-old.

Joseph Czuba, 73, was charged in the fatal stabbing of Wadee Alfayoumi and the wounding of his mother, Hanan Shaheen, on Oct. 14, 2023, in Plainfield, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) from Chicago.

Authorities alleged the family — who were renting rooms in Czuba’s house — was targeted because of their Islamic faith and as a response to the war between Israel and Hamas that was sparked by the terror group’s devastating assault on Oct. 7, 2023.

Jurors deliberated less than 90 minutes over the crime that renewed fears of anti-Muslim discrimination in the Chicago area’s large and established Palestinian community.

The trial featured detailed testimony from police officers, medical workers, Czuba’s ex-wife, and Shaheen, who described how Czuba attacked her with a knife before going after her son in a different room.

Prosecutors say that the child had been stabbed 26 times. He was found naked with a knife still in his side.

#1  Agree TW, not ok.

Open question to anyone in Illinois State Gov.

When will Illinois start arresting the Pro-Hamas Terrorist protesters that have been assaulting those of the Jewish Faith? That's a violation of the Illinois Felony Hate Crime.

#4  Was it a hate crime or, simply, a crazy old man?

It happened on October 14, 2023, Grom, and he was reportedly really upset by what he saw on the news. As I recall, he’d been kind to the boy and the boy’s divorced mother previously.

#5  If the kid was naked, it sounds like a different type of crime. Czuba’s DNA is likely to get several hits when it goes through the Fed database.

#7  It’s a useful story as a hate crime. Why is the 6 year old kid found naked? Did the old man want to reduce the impact of his attack on their laundry? Another dysfunction is present that isn’t useful for the narrative.

86 people arrested in San Francisco open-air drug market raid as city cracks down on crime
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] A multi-agency law enforcement operation targeting a notorious the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
drug den resulted in more than 80 arrests overnight Wednesday. San Francisco police said the large-scale raid at Jefferson Square Park comes as a part of the city's new effort to combat open-air drug markets.

Roughly three dozen suspects who were wanted by law enforcement were among the 86 people taken into custody, according to San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott, who said the raids would continue.

On February 26 around 10:30 pm, authorities surrounded Jefferson Square Park to disrupt the illicit drug trade. After nearly three hours of arrests, officers, sheriff's deputies, and DEA agents called it a morning. Of the 86 people shackled, roughly 60 of them were cited and released. The rest were boarded onto transport vans and booked into county jail, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

"It was a massive undertaking," said Chief Scott, per KTVU. "So, it's not going to be something you see every single day. But, you will see this more often, and we're going to use this as a strategy to deal with this displacement that's haunted us."

The individuals who were lodged behind bars either had outstanding warrants for previous felonies or were in possession of a large quantity of narcotics, according to SF Supervisor Stephen Sherill, whose district borders the park.

Jefferson Square Park, which is located in the Western Addition neighborhood, became a hotbed zone for drug trafficking after previous enforcement operations in the Tenderloin and SoMa pushed the illicit drug trade to a new location. Over the past several years, residents and business owners have complained about the city's open-air drug markets, which brought an increase in crime to the Bay Area and resulted in a mass exodus of businesses.

-War on Police-
More Trans Terror? Texas Police Thwart 'Mass Casualty' Plot
[Townhall] An apparent "transgender"-identifying homeless man allegedly plotted to carry out a "mass casualty" attack on police in Texas, targeting white officers specifically, similar to the 2016 shooting that a black murderous Moslem perpetrated against Dallas police.

According to a Corpus Christi Police Department (CCPD) blurb, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)'s local field office was tipped off about 21-year-old Seth Gregori a.k.a. "Andrea" Lozano making terroristic threats against CCPD personnel, white officers in particular.

Authorities have heard that Gregori identifies as "transgender," Townhall can confirm. "Transgender is what we're hearing," Townhall was told.

A local law enforcement source told The Daily Caller that Gregori is "transitioning" between genders. Based on information that the CCPD received from the FBI, "it's our understanding that [Gregori is] transitioning," a CCPD officer said.

At a Tuesday presser, CCPD assistant chief Todd Green told news hounds:

"The name we have on the arrest warrant is Andrea Lozano Gregori, but he also goes by Seth, that was his, I guess, given name, birth name. I can't tell you for sure whether he has transitioned, but he is in the process—he identifies as a woman. How's that? At this point in his life, he apparently identifies as a woman but is biologically male."

Gregori was arrested Monday on an active warrant—issued February 10—for making a terrorist threat toward a public servant.

According to an affidavit in support of Gregori's arrest, which refers to him as "Andrea/Seth," a CCPD detective embedded on a federal Joint Terrorism Task Force initiated an investigation on February 6 when a source called the Corpus Christi FBI office to report that the suspect had texted him about being in possession of an "AR-15 platform pistol" and wanting to kill CCPD officers.

The source said that Gregori's cell phone contained six months of messages showing a lengthy history of him expressing a desire to recreate a "Dallas-style" ambush on police, in reference to the 2016 mass shooting.

On July 7, 2016, Micah Xavier Johnson, a black nationalist, ambushed and shot several Dallas Police Department (DPD) officers, killing five and injuring nine, marking the deadliest incident for U.S. law enforcement since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Johnson, who ranted about racism online and followed the Facebook pages of black separatist groups, such as the New Black Panther Party, the Nation of Islam, and the Black Riders Liberation Party, shouted "Black supremacy! Black liberation!" during his shooting rampage.

Of the "thousands" of texts exchanged with Gregori, the tipster flagged "the worst" and most recent. The source sent CCPD screenshots of their texts, one in which Gregori said he planned on doing the "same thing Micah did," fantasizing as far back as before 2021, and that he thought about it "as much as I could like Micah planned for years," according to the arrest affidavit. Gregori then allegedly sent a picture of an AR receiver.

Spanning 71 pages of evidence, the correspondence showed "clear planning, intent, and steps taken to ambush and kill coppers in Corpus Christi, Texas," the probable cause statements said. The trove of texts included 19 images of the Dallas scene of the crime and of Johnson. Gregori had also allegedly sent a series of photographs he had taken while "surreptitiously" stalking local coppers, along with messages narrating him reenacting the 2016 shooting, unbeknownst to the officers in the images.

That day, Gregori was found at Mother Teresa's homeless shelter possessing a backpack carrying a fully loaded AR-15 pistol, purchased three days prior, and a box of ammunition, per police. Gregori allegedly bragged about being friendly with CCPD officers who work security at the homeless facility and "fooling" them to gain their trust so they didn't see him as a threat.

Upon being located, he allegedly fled on foot. In police custody, Gregori reportedly revealed he had plotted to commit the shooting spree downtown; however, Gregori said he would have spared innocent bystanders because he's "a sharpshooter" and only intended to take out CCPD cops. Gregori allegedly admitted he had wished to target "white" officers only, leaving the "black and Mexican cops alone."

This week, police picked Gregori up Monday on the arrest warrant executed at 600 Elizabeth Street, the address of CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital.

Gregori was booked into Nueces County Jail on state-level charges of resisting arrest, search, or transport; evading arrest or detention; and making terrorist threats with the intent to impair public services, place the public in fear of serious bodily harm, and influence government activities (a third-degree felony).

He is currently being held on $70,000 bond. An affidavit of indigency was filed Wednesday.

Federal charges may be filed down the line, CCPD said.

Gregori has a criminal record involving multiple misdemeanors, according to court records reviewed by Townhall.

In December 2024, Gregori was arrested for criminal trespass, but the case was disposed of.

-Land of the Free
Trump tops 50,000 migrant removals including fugitives who evaded justice for 20 years
We are now in the sixth week of the Trump 47 presidency. Yesterday we learnt that it was 20,000 at the one-month mark. After the first two weeks it was 6,000. That sounds like an exponential curve to me.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] When immigration agents were first ordered to deport Ivan Oramas and Santos Maradiaga-Villalta, President George W. Bush was in the White House and the iPhone was a distant dream.

That was over two decades ago—yet both men were arrested this week, according to federal data reviewed by DailyMail.com.

They were among over 50,000 illegal immigrants colonists removed so far, a Department of Homeland Security official revealed to DailyMail.com.

News of their arrest was circulated Thursday in an internal immigration memo noting recent enforcement actions made by President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
's administration.

Oramas, 61, is a citizen of Cuba with a rap sheet including convictions for sexual battery and aggravated assault.

His sexual battery case caused serious injury, according to his charges in the file.

ICE Houston
...a city in Texas, named after Sam Houston, who would drop deader than he is now if he could see how it turned out...
nabbed Oramas this week, enforcing a deportation order first handed down in October 2003—21 years overdue.

Maradiaga-Villalta, a 40-year-old alien from Honduras, has convictions for smuggling aliens into the U.S. He was arrested recently by ICE in Phoenix. His first deportation order dates back to January 2006, a 19-year lapse in action.

Now, as Trump's administration continues ramping up its crackdown on illegal immigration, these long-evading, on the lam runaways are getting taken in after decades of delays.

Department of Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem announced that in conjunction with Border Czar Tom Homan, immigration officials have already apprehended over 20,000 on the lam illegal aliens since Trump was sworn in.

'That's a 627% increase in monthly arrests compared to just 33,000 on the lam arrests under Biden for ALL of last year,' she wrote in a post on X.

In another post on the platform she bragged that DHS has slashed border encounters from 15,000 a day under Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body....
to just 200 under Trump.

It's a '15-year low,' she wrote.

Among the other criminals that surfaced in this week's federal data were Guatemalan national Alexis Aquirre-Velasquez, 37, who was ordered out of the U.S. 12 years ago in February 2013.

He was charged with four counts of indecent liberty with a child and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

The president has pledged to purge the U.S. of its 'most dangerous' unlawful immigrants colonists through a sweeping deportation strategy that would result in the 'largest deportation effort' ever carried out.

Recently, White House officials revealed to DailyMail.com that north of 6,000 migrants colonists were deported in Trump's first two weeks.

Migrants have been airlifted to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as well—a location that the president intends to detain approximately 30,000 aliens, including terrorists, as ICE facilities reach their limits.

It comes after Caleb Vitello, the former acting director of ICE was reassigned earlier this month.

It came as deportations of migrants colonists have lagged expectations, a senior Trump official said.

A front man told the Wall Street Journal he was 'actually being elevated so he is no longer in an administrative role.'

Instead, he would be 'overseeing all field and enforcement operations: finding, arresting, and deporting illegal aliens.'

He was the third senior ICE official to be removed this month.

The Trump Gov. focusing on the trash 1st, has already netted 50K in just 30 days. That is a Great accomplishment. That's 50,000 that were a clear threat to the USA and the US Citizens.

Let us never forget that's 50,000 violent persons, that the Liberals, Socialists & Democrats (LSD's) welcomed in with Open Borders as guests, and never bothered to arrest and deport.

But with that said, the LSD's averaged about 208,333+ a month for 48+ months

At this rate, 4 years from now, President Vance will still be at it.

Somalia Forces Retake Town Near Capital After Al-Shabaab Attack
[Garowe] The Somali National Army (SNA) repulsed a major al-Shabaab

attack at Balad town, sources said, reflecting the commitment by the local forces to restore peace and stability in the Horn of Africa.

Residents reported heavy gunfire, explosions, and intense firefight in and around the agricultural town. This is the first major attack in the country in as many weeks, but the bully boyz have significantly lost ground.

For the last two weeks, the al-Shabaab have been launching pre-dawn attacks following operations by the Somali National Army and the African Union
...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful...
Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM) in Middle Shabelle and Hiran regions.

When President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud took over, these areas were where the federal government had successes against the Lions of Islam during the 2022-2023 military offensive, which led to a major defeat against the group.

According to officials, the local troops got a major boost from the Burundian troops, who were stationed around the scene of the battlefield. Multiple casualties have been reported but the exact figures are yet to be disclosed.

This comes amid major differences between Mogadishu and Bujumbura over the exact number of soldiers who would serve in the AUSSOM. The Burundian government has threatened to withdraw the soldiers if a solution is not reached.

According to officials, the Burundian government wants the allocation of soldiers to be doubled to 2,000 from the current suggestion of 1050, but Somalia has not approved the number. A total of 11,500 people shall serve in AUSSOM as peacekeepers, including the civilian team.

Security analysts believe the capabilities of terrorist organizations are increasing and evolving relatively fast. In Somalia, the al-Shabāab al-Mujāhideen Terror group could own the largest cache of Kamikaze and small surveillance drones in the entire East and Central Africa.

the investigation was underway, they added.

Earlier in the day, a top official of Darul Uloom Haqqania
...an Islamic seminary located in Akora Khattak, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

More on the Nowshera bomb from GeoTV:
A top official of Darul Uloom Haqqania was among eight people killed, while at least 18 others sustained injuries in a suicide kaboom that targeted the historic seminary's mosque in Nowshera, officials confirmed on Friday.

The bomb went kaboom! in the front row soon after Friday prayers as worshippers were leaving the congregation at the Darul Uloom Haqqania mosque in Akora Khattak, located about 60 kilometres (35 miles) east of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar.

-Sami (JUI-S), departed this vale of tears as he was undergoing emergency medical treatment, the top cop said.

Hameed added that police teams were present at the site of the earth-shattering kaboom, and a search operation was also underway in the surroundings. Forensics and investigation teams had been dispatched to the incident site, and the district police officer was also present there, the IGP said.

This was the last Friday congregation before Ramadan, drawing a large crowd of worshippers. The mosque is located inside the compound of the madrassa, whose students were set to go on leave, as it marked the final day of their academic year.

The sprawling campus is home to roughly 4,000 students who are fed, clothed and educated for free.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
IDF drone strike in north Lebanon kills Hezbollah weapons operative, says military
[IsraelTimes] An IDF drone strike yesterday in northern Lebanon’s Hermel District killed a Hezbollah operative involved in procuring weapons for the terror group amid the ongoing ceasefire, the military says.

According to the IDF, Mohammed Mahdi Ali Shaheen was “coordinating terrorist transactions for the purchase of weapons on the Syria-Lebanon border, since the understandings between Israel and Lebanon came into effect.”

Shaheen is described by the IDF as a prominent member of Hezbollah’s regional division in the Beqaa Valley area, involved in smuggling weapons from Syria to Lebanon. As part of his role, Shaheen was responsible for making procurement deals with smugglers and suppliers, mediating the arrival of shipments, and distributing them to various Hezbollah units, the military says.

The IDF says his actions “posed a threat to Israel and its citizens, and constitutes a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”

On Wednesday, a separate IDF drone strike in northeastern Lebanon killed Mahran Ali Nasser al-Din, a prominent member of Hezbollah’s Unit 4400, which is responsible for smuggling weapons into Lebanon.
