Cornell is a hub of Jew haters and low information students
Crowd sings ‘from the river to the sea’ at AOC’s college student event promoting Dems ahead of midterms
Cornell University’s lefty crowd gave Democratic Socialist superstar Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a warm, hate-filled welcome by singing anti-Israel chants at a campaign event meant to gin up support for Democrats ahead of the midterms Sunday.
While warming up the standing-room-only crowd of roughly 2,000 people gathered for the congresswoman’s “Students vs. Billionaires” town hall in downtown Ithaca Sunday, Cornell University Young Democratic Socialists of America co-chairs Mina Petrova and Zoe Reisman led the crowd singing “from the river to the sea” and declaring “long live the student intifada.”

ICE files detainers for two men charged in fatal New Braunfels crash
Alejandro Nunez had just picked up his 3-year-old daughter when police say a truck hit his car head-on on FM 725 in New Braunfels. The 27-year-old father was killed. His little girl survived with a broken wrist, and his parents gathered at the crash site the next day, still in disbelief. "When somebody takes his life away, that's very, very hard," his father said. Police say the truck's driver showed signs of intoxication, and a passenger took off running before being found in a nearby garage. Both men are now in the Guadalupe County Jail facing charges including intoxication manslaughter, and Homeland Security says ICE has issued detainers on both. Watch the full story on ksat.com
Florida Jury Convicts Cuban National in $20 Million Alien Smuggling Scheme
Florida Jury Convicts Cuban National in $20 Million Alien Smuggling Scheme
A federal jury in the Middle District of Florida convicted a Cuban national for his role in an international alien smuggling and money laundering conspiracy.
According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Lazaro Alain Cabrera-Rodriguez, 28, of Hialeah, Florida, conspired with others to operate an alien smuggling organization (ASO), which encouraged thousands of Cuban aliens to enter the U.S. through the southern border.
These smugglers charged between $1,500 and $40,000 for the smuggling services, and co-conspirators sometimes chartered private planes to transport groups of aliens.
“Lazaro Alain Cabrera-Rodriguez used his travel agency as a front to illegally smuggle Cuban aliens into the United States,” said Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. "His travel agency provided a veneer of legitimacy to evade detection when the defendant falsely completed and filed at least 600 applications for visa waivers, arranged to fly the aliens from Cuba to third countries, further coordinated with other smugglers throughout the Americas, and laundered over $20 million through 57 bank accounts. These criminal offenses targeted our immigration laws designed to keep our borders safe and money laundering laws designed to keep criminal proceeds out of the nation’s financial system.”
The defendants often used fraudulent Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) visa waivers and advertised their smuggling services and bogus visa services across multiple social media platforms to solicit Cuban nationals and other aliens to attempt to illegally enter the country and fraudulently obtain lawful status in the United States.
“This defendant participated in an elaborate conspiracy to breach our nation’s immigration laws and smuggle illegal aliens into the United States for profit,” said U.S. Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe for the Middle District of Florida. “We will continue to work with our task force partners to thwart these illegal activities and ensure that our borders are protected.”
Financial records show that during the course of the conspiracy, over $20 million passed through upwards of 57 bank accounts controlled by the defendant and his co-conspirators.
“This was not help, and it was not humanitarian; It was a criminal enterprise built on treating people like cargo and using their desperation for financial gain,” said Acting Special Agent in Charge Nicholas Ingegno of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Tampa. “Alien smuggling organizations do not provide a service; they exploit vulnerable people for profit while undermining the integrity of our borders and immigration system. This conviction reflects the strength of our commitment to dismantling the criminal networks that move people, launder money, and enrich themselves through fraud and deception.”
The ASO advertised services that included assisting Cubans with false claims of European citizenship to enter the United States on a European tourist visa waiver or ESTA. The ASO also filed hundreds of fraudulent ESTA applications with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) using fake addresses. Cuban nationals are not eligible for the ESTA program, but the defendants falsely represented that the applicants had not been in Cuba since 2011.
They did this knowing the applicants were in Cuba at the time the ESTA applications were submitted. Cabrera-Rodriguez furthered the conspiracy by helping move aliens from their country of origin, including Cuba, into the United States, including by purchasing international and domestic flights to transport aliens into and throughout the United States.
Cabrera-Rodriguez and his co-defendants also conspired to regularly move funds to companies outside of the United States. Between 2021 and 2024, Cabrera-Rodriguez and co-conspirators transmitted over $600,000 from the United States to purchase flights for aliens to unlawfully enter the United States.
The jury convicted Cabrera-Rodriguez of conspiracy to commit alien smuggling for financial gain, conspiracy to commit international money laundering, and conspiracy to commit money laundering concealment. He is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 17 and faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
Twelve individuals were charged in a superseding indictment for their roles in the conspiracy. Liannys Yaiselys Vega-Perez, 31, Miguel Alejandro Martinez Vasconcelos, 31, Layra Libertad Treto Santos, 30, Emanuel Martinez Gonzalez, 29, Walbis Pozo-Dutel, 31, Luis Emmanuel Escalona-Marrero, 32, and Gisleivy Peralta Consuegra, 41, have all pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing. Erik Ventura-Castro, 24, pleaded guilty on May 7 and was sentenced on July 29 to 30 months in prison.
The investigation and superseding indictment were supported and prosecuted by Joint Task Force Alpha (JTFA), the Department’s lead effort in combating high-impact human smuggling and trafficking committed by cartels and Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs). A highly successful partnership between the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), JTFA investigates and prosecutes human smuggling and trafficking and related immigration crimes that impact public safety and border security. JTFA’s mission is to target the leaders and organizers of Cartels and TCOs involved in human smuggling and trafficking throughout the Americas. The Attorney General has elevated and expanded JTFA to target the most prolific and dangerous human smuggling and trafficking groups operating not only in Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras, but also in Canada, the Caribbean and the maritime border, and elsewhere.
Led by the Criminal Division’s Human Rights and Special Prosecutions Section and supported by the Money Laundering, Narcotics and Forfeiture Section, the Office of International Affairs, and the Office of Enforcement Operations, among others, JTFA has dedicated prosecutors from the Southern District of California; District of Arizona; District of New Mexico; Western and Southern Districts of Texas; Southern District of Florida; Northern District of New York; and District of Vermont. JTFA also partners with other USAOs throughout the country and supports high-priority cases in any district. All JTFA cases rely on substantial law enforcement resources from DHS, including HSI and CBP/U.S. Border Patrol and Office of Field Operations, as well as FBI and other law enforcement agencies. To date, JTFA’s work has resulted in more than 483 domestic and international arrests of leaders, organizers, and significant facilitators of alien smuggling and/or trafficking; more than 436 U.S. convictions; and more than 371 significant jail sentences imposed, and forfeitures of substantial assets.
HSI Tampa, U.S. Border Patrol Miami Sector, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ Fraud Detection and National Security led U.S. investigative efforts, with substantial assistance from HSI’s Human Smuggling Unit in Washington, D.C. and CBP’s National Targeting Center International Interdiction Task Force. The Justice Department’s Office of International Affairs and authorities in the Cayman Islands provided valuable assistance.
Trial Attorney Amanda Brown of the Criminal Division’s Human Rights and Special Prosecutions Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Courtney Derry for the Middle District of Florida are prosecuting the case.
This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and other transnational criminal organizations, and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime. Operation Take Back America streamlines efforts and resources from the Department’s Project Safe Neighborhood.
Britain is importing IRGC terror and doing nothing about it
WATCH: UK Reporter GOES off on UK Defense Secretary and Prime Minister Over Mass Migration Following Bomb Plot at RAF Fairford Base
A British TV host absolutely eviscerated UK officials this morning on her live broadcast, crediting the bomb plot at Royal Air Force Fairford Base, where US bombers and personnel are stationed, to mass migration.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, British police made several arrests in connection with a bombing plot at RAF Fairford, which is currently under investigation for potential ties to Iran.
“We had them under investigation,” Trump told reporters on Sunday, confirming the reports and suggesting that they were already known to authorities as dangerous migrants.
Five foreign-looking suspects were photographed in British police detention after their suspicious vans, which were suspected of carrying chemicals and explosives, were reported traveling toward the air base. They sure don't look like native Brits.
Following the news this morning, Talk TV host Alex Phillips went off on UK Defense Secretary Wes Streeting, UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, "every single Muppet in the unions," and "every single past prime minister for the past 10 years" for their refusal to acknowledge the dangers of open borders and mass migration.
"You should join a dot, right, between Iran saying, 'we shipped in various terrorists from the IRGC to your country via a boat over the Channel.' They told you! it came out of their mouths," Phillips said. This is seemingly a reference to a Telegraph report earlier this year that details the human smuggling network used by the IRGC to bring agents into the UK. An unnamed Iranian official even told the Telegraph this summer, "Of course, don't forget that our armed forces have influence and run the [smuggling] routes in some cases if they want.""And yet you're still there going, 'Oh yeah, aren't they nice? They're just asylum seekers. Give them a hotel. Let them stay on a military base, and don't worry about that perimeter fence. We'll open it wide up. In fact, well, let's lay on some mini buses to send them round the local towns so they can get their blueprints of where our critical infrastructure is and grope some girls.'"
"Some of these people you give smartphones to and teach how to make little balloon animals, and you encourage them to sing Kumbaya, and hand out the old rape pamphlet, perhaps some of these people might be terrorists!" she added.
"Buck stops with you, Defense Secretary. I want to hear a concrete plan, and I want to hear you say, admit that people coming into the country illegally are a security risk, and then do something about it."∂

You're the defense minister! You are the defense minister, son. What are you doing about the small boat crossings, the terror cells, Islamism, the threat from Russia? Why is Israel sanctioned when they provide a lot of our intelligence reports for us? Why does the government seem to ignore warnings from agencies and former big beasts in intelligence who connect immigration with the security threat?
Because I’m— I would take a little guess here, Wes. Let me teach you a thing or two in case you don't get it yet. I would imagine that whatever has gone down near Fairford, the people who had done it probably came into the country from somewhere else, and came there specifically to do whatever it is they were planning to do.
So, perhaps let me make it clear: you should join a dot, right, between Iran saying, “we shipped in various terrorists from the IRGC to your country via a boat over the Channel.” They told you! it came out of their mouths, and yet you're still there going, "Oh yeah, aren't they nice? They're just asylum seekers. Give them a hotel. Let them stay on a military base, and don't worry about that perimeter fence. We'll open it wide up. In fact, well, let's lay on some mini buses to send them round the local towns so they can get their blueprints of where our critical infrastructure is and grope some girls.”
Why is it that all of you, you Wes Streeting, you Andy Burnham, every single Muppet in the unions, every single past prime minister for the past 10 years, all seem to have failed to notice that if you were a hostile state or a terrorist organization wanting to get weapons into the country, or people who might use those weapons, a great idea would be to bus them in illegally, I don't know, on a boat. Sometimes they use private jets.
They're still getting in the back of lines! And perhaps, therefore, some of these people you give smartphones to and teach how to make little balloon animals, and you encourage to sing Kumbaya, and hand out the old rape pamphlet, perhaps some of these people might be terrorists!
Perhaps you should state publicly that the risk from these people breaking into our nation is a security one. And get real. This has been going on too long. I'm afraid, actually, at this point, it's probably too late because they're all there, aren't they?Plateful
They're now dotted around, ready to carry out their various operations. We need to have, as you say, our security services, our armed forces, our police, and emergency responders on standby 24/7 to actually react and make sure they can't blow things up because you and all of your colleagues in Westminster have failed to do your job in protecting the realm.
So, it's all very well, putting your nice words on X: “Thank you for saving us again.” What are you going to do about it? Buck stops with you, Defense Secretary. I want to hear a concrete plan, and I want to hear you say, admit that people coming into the country illegally are a security risk, and then do something about it.
The September 25 announcement names Lukman Owolabi Ganiyu
Green Cards For Cash: Feds Say Ex-Immigration Officer Sold Approvals, Skipped Background Checks

A federal grand jury in North Texas returned an indictment September 23 against a former immigration officer and an associate accused of collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars from applicants while the officer bypassed background checks and other safeguards to approve immigration benefits.
The September 25 announcement names Lukman Owolabi Ganiyu, a former senior immigration services officer with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and Adeniyi Akeem Somoye. Federal agents arrested both men September 2.
Ganiyu allegedly skipped required interviews, supervisory review, jurisdictional limits and standard USCIS procedures to accelerate approvals, prosecutors said. The alleged scheme ran from December 2019 through March 2026.
“Selling immigration benefits for cash is a blatant abuse of public trust,” U.S. Attorney Ryan Raybould said in the September 4 release announcing the original charge.
Green cards and citizenship applications
The applications included family petitions under Form I-130, permanent residency or adjustment of status under Form I-485, removal of conditions on residence under Form I-751, and naturalization under Form N-400, according to the DOJ account of the complaint.
Green cards and citizenship applications
The applications included family petitions under Form I-130, permanent residency or adjustment of status under Form I-485, removal of conditions on residence under Form I-751, and naturalization under Form N-400, according to the DOJ account of the complaint.
Many applicants did not qualify for the benefits under federal law, investigators alleged. Prosecutors said several payments corresponded directly with approvals Ganiyu issued.
Investigators identified approximately $287,830 in unexplained cash deposits into Ganiyu’s accounts and about $671,438 in direct payments through Zelle, Cash App and other platforms, Newsweek reported, citing an affidavit it obtained. The filing linked at least some payments to USCIS applicants.
Investigators also identified thousands of WhatsApp messages and hundreds of calls involving the defendants and applicants, according to the September 4 DOJ release.
Federal charges and a defense denial
The original August 31 criminal complaint charged both men with conspiracy to receive illegal gratuities by a public official. DOJ said September 4 that each faced up to five years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine. Its indictment announcement did not separately list the grand jury’s counts.
The USCIS Office of Investigations, the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General and the FBI Dallas Field Office investigated. Assistant U.S. Attorney Chad Meacham is prosecuting the case.
Ganiyu “denies any criminal conduct” and disputes the government’s description of the transactions and applications, his attorney Alfonso Cabanas told Newsweek for its September 7 report. Both defendants remain presumed innocent unless prosecutors prove guilt in court.
Federal authorities have pursued other immigration-fraud cases in North Texas. As previously reported by The Dallas Express, a separate May 2025 indictment accused two Dallas-area men and two businesses of participating in a scheme involving fraudulent work-visa applications.
How many approvals were compromised?
The September 4 and September 25 DOJ announcements do not identify how many applications received improper approvals or say whether USCIS is reviewing those decisions or seeking to revoke the resulting immigration benefits.
The U.S. attorney’s office said the alleged conduct jeopardized national security by allowing applicants to evade essential vetting requirements.
A good man dies at the hands of a POS
HORROR: Pediatric ICU Doctor Who Cared for Critically Ill Children Stabbed to Death in His Bed While His Children Slept — Suspect Was Out on Non-Monetary Bail in Felony Burglary Case
A respected pediatric critical-care doctor who dedicated his career to treating gravely ill children was stabbed to death inside his Pennsylvania home early Thursday morning while his own two children were sleeping nearby.
And the man accused of the horrific attack was reportedly already facing felony burglary charges, and had been released on non-monetary bail.
Dr. Idris V.R. Evans, 46, served as co-medical director of the Pediatric Critical Care Transport Team at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and as an assistant professor of critical care medicine at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, according to his profile on the University of Pittsburgh.
Colleagues described him as a dedicated caregiver whose work focused on the sickest kids, pediatric sepsis, critical care transport, and keeping children alive when they arrived at the hospital in the worst possible shape.
That life ended around 12:30 a.m. Thursday in the family’s Edgewood home on Linden Avenue, KDKA reported.
According to WPXI, citing Allegheny County police and court documents, 32-year-old Elijah Hemingway of Pittsburgh’s Hazelwood neighborhood entered the home through a window, went to the third-floor bedroom, and attacked Evans and his wife with a kitchen knife while they slept.
Hemingway was wearing only underwear and reportedly talked about “being God” during the assault.
Evans’ wife later told investigators they woke to the attack; she yelled for their 8-year-old and 12-year-old children to get out of the house and run to a neighbor.
The children escaped unharmed. Evans died at the hospital. His wife remained in critical but stable condition.
Police described a “very violent scene” with broken furniture and mirrors in the bedroom. Hemingway was found hiding behind a nearby house with cuts on his hand.
He is charged with criminal homicide, attempted homicide, aggravated assault, burglary, and related counts. In interviews he claimed Evans had invited him over hours earlier and that the couple attacked him first. Investigators said they found no evidence supporting that account.
Evans’ wife told police she did not know the man, though her husband addressed him as “Elijah,” according to KDKA.
Court records list Hemingway as a Black male. He was already free on the street because of how Allegheny County handles bail.Hemingway had been arrested in July 2026 on felony burglary and theft charges from a February incident at an ex-girlfriend’s home, where he allegedly took electronics.
His bail in that case was set at $0.00, non-monetary, also called cashless or release on non-cash conditions. A preliminary hearing was still pending. He also had a record of traffic offenses and disorderly conduct citations.
