TEXAS HORROR: Janitor’s Deadly Deeds Leave 13 Infected

21 March 2025 — Lucio Catarino Diaz, 57, admitted to using a deadly weapon after contaminating water bottles with bodily fluids at a Houston medical office. His plea deal led to a six-year state prison sentence. Other charges were dropped as part of the agreement, court records show.

Diaz, who has herpes and hepatitis A, infected at least 13 women. He urinated in or tainted water bottles on women’s desks. A hidden camera caught him in the act, leading to his arrest and confession.

Diaz’s citizenship status is unclear as immigration officials haven’t confirmed any records with ICE yet. Though listed as a U.S. citizen, documents hint at potential immigration issues discussed during his plea due to non-citizen warnings from his attorney.

The incident began with a traffic stop in Lenoir City for speeding. Authorities confirmed Klarks was living illegally in the U.S., as reported by Fox News Digital.

COLD-BLOODED Killer Still Roams Free: 16 Years of Heartbreak in Tinley Park

20 October 2024 — On February 2, 2008, a man pretending to be a delivery driver entered a Lane Bryant store in Tinley Park, Illinois. Armed with a .40-caliber semiautomatic handgun, he forced six women into a back room. After tying their hands with duct tape and assaulting one woman, he shot all six victims.

Amazingly, one woman survived and gave police a description of the suspect. Despite thousands of leads over the past 16 years, authorities have yet to catch him. The suspect is described as a Black man between 25 and 35 years old at the time of the crime, standing just over six feet tall with corn-rowed hair and green beads on one braid.

Grainy surveillance footage showed two dark vehicles near the scene during the murders. However, it is unclear if either vehicle was used by the attacker. The tragic event claimed five lives: Jennifer Bishop, Carrie Chiuso, Rhoda McFarland, Sarah Szafranski, and Connie Woolfolk.

VENEZUELAN GANG’S Chaos: US Communities Under Threat

17 October 2024 — In New York City, kids as young as 11 are reportedly involved in violent robberies linked to the Venezuelan gang Tren De Aragua (TdA). Surveillance footage from Aurora, Colorado shows a brutal attack on a worker by men refusing to accept a bribe. In Texas, two foreign nationals were arrested for allegedly planning to transport firearms for criminal use.

These incidents highlight the growing influence of TdA across the United States. The gang has gained notoriety through violent crimes that have alarmed law enforcement and policymakers. Representative Tony Gonzales of Texas has been vocal about the threat posed by TdA, especially in border communities unprepared for such brutality.

Gonzales and other GOP lawmakers have urged President Biden to designate TdA as a Transnational Criminal Organization. They warn that if unchecked, the gang could unleash terror similar to its impact in Central and South America. The gang’s activities include drug trafficking and human trafficking, leaving devastation across multiple countries.

Authorities caution that Tren De Aragua’s criminal operations pose an increasing danger to American communities nationwide. With its roots in Venezuela’s prisons, this “thug-for-hire” organization is spreading chaos from major cities like New York City down to small towns along border states like Texas.

Sheriff Lyons revealed that McDougal was likely one of the last people to see Audrii alive and would sometimes drive her to school or the bus stop. Despite this connection, he emphasized caution and patience as they continue their work towards building a strong criminal case against McDougal.

TEXAS BORDER Rally: Unleashing Patriotic Fervor & Standing Strong for Law Enforcement

04 February 2024 — The “Take Our Border Back Rally” was a vibrant scene of patriotism and support for law enforcement. Media from across the nation flocked to this small ranch, which was alive with food trucks, vendors selling patriotic merchandise, and a stage featuring Christian music.

Attendees, many donned in red, white, and blue or displaying Trump-supporting gear, reveled in the music and speeches.

Treniss Evans — one of the event’s organizers — told Breitbart Texas that this rally aimed to back all law enforcement officers working along the border — both federal and state officials alike. The rally is set to remain stationed in Quemado without crossing into Eagle Pass city limits.

Evans made it clear that their group had no plans to disrupt law enforcement operations in Eagle Pass or impede local commuters’ mobility within the city. This declaration comes amid recent media focus on a seized city border park.

TEXAS STRIKES Back: Governor Abbott Signs Tough Laws to Tackle Illegal Immigration

19 December 2023 — Texas Governor Greg Abbott has enacted three stringent laws aimed at halting illegal immigration. These laws, passed in two special sessions this fall, are part of a broader strategy to stem the tide of migrants from Mexico. The governor announced on Twitter that unlawful entry into Texas is now a crime with potential penalties including deportation or imprisonment.

The bill signing event in Brownsville saw the attendance of Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick and National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd among other border officials. However, House Speaker Dade Phelan was conspicuously absent. Senate Bill 4 from the fourth special session criminalizes unauthorized entry into Texas from foreign countries.

This state legislation mirrors federal statute Title 8 of the United States Code 1325 but takes it a step further by allowing for sentences up to two decades for violators. It also includes mechanisms for deporting offenders back to their home countries and offers legal protection to local and state officials enforcing these rules. Critics claim that current federal immigration laws are not being sufficiently enforced under the present administration.

With these new measures — including funding for wall construction and harsher penalties for human smuggling — Texas is

AMERICAN COWBOYS Gallop to the Rescue of Israeli Farms: A Heartwarming Tale of International Solidarity

13 November 2023 — A group of four American cowboys, including John Plocher and Yosef “Yoss” Strain from Montana, have captured hearts worldwide with their mission to support Israeli farming communities in the West Bank. Their journey kicked off on November 6th. Images showcasing their cowboy hats at JFK Airport and later at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv swiftly made rounds on various social media sites.

These cowboys are volunteering for Operation Ittai, a project spearheaded by Christian volunteer organization HaYovel. Named after a foreigner who stood by King David in biblical times, this operation seeks to bolster “Judea and Samaria,” regions more widely recognized as the West Bank.

Joshua Waller, HaYovel’s operations director, informed Fox News Digital about the pivotal role these cowboys are playing. They are delivering supplies and machinery to aid smaller farms left exposed after many Israeli reservists were summoned for military duty.

Waller highlighted that although much-needed assistance has been concentrated on areas severely affected during Hamas’s October 7 attacks, other regions in Israel face hardships too. He underscored the significance of extending a helping hand to these farmers whose livelihoods hang in balance.
