Former Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg has issued a stark warning about the handling of the murder case of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was brutally killed in Houston.
Ogg revealed that one of the alleged killers, Franklin Peña Ramos, had been involved in a prior sexual assault in Costa Rica—a crime that was neither prosecuted nor properly recorded—allowing him to enter the United States without issue.
The revelation has sparked public outrage, especially from those who argue that the current immigration policies make it easier for dangerous individuals to enter the country.
The community is demanding answers, while the new District Attorney, Sean Teare, faces criticism for allegedly adopting a “soft-on-crime” stance that could threaten the pursuit of full justice for Jocelyn.
Jocelyn’s body was discovered on June 17, 2024. Investigators believe she was sexually assaulted and murdered by Peña Ramos and Johan Martínez-Rangel, both Venezuelan nationals residing in the U.S. illegally. The brutality of the crime shocked the nation.
The Muslim terrorist who perpetrated the firebombing attack on Jewish Americans at a rally in Boulder, Colorado, was not only allowed to enter the U.S. illegally during Biden’s term in office, but Biden also gave him limited legal status and a work permit.
Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, was identified as the man who tried to murder Jewish people at the Boulder rally by spraying flammable liquid on them, then lighting them up with a flamethrower-style device, the Boulder Police say.
But now, Fox News reporter Bill Melugin reports that Soliman was coddled and given legal status by Biden.
Melugin says he was told the Egyptian national “arrived at LAX on 8/27/22 on a B1/B2 nonimmigrant visa with an authorized stay through 2/26/23, but he overstayed & never left.”
“I’m told on 9/29/22, he filed some sort of claim with USCIS, potentially an asylum claim, and on 3/29/23, USCIS under the Biden admin gave him work authorization, which expired on 3/28/25,” Melugin continued.
Harvard yearbook ignores Oct. 7 massacre — but includes pic of John Harvard statue in Palestinian keffiyeh: ‘Whitewashing terrorism’
Harvard needs a history lesson, according to students outraged over its 2025 yearbook ignoring the October 7, 2023 Hamas terror attack on Israel.
The book instead depicts only Israel’s aggression in Gaza, with its October 2023 entry including a photo of the famous John Harvard statue draped in a keffiyeh with a caption reading “War breaks out in Gaza.”
The official Harvard yearbook, the 520–page book aimed to capture the “Harvard experience” and described as “Harvard. Immortalized,” shocked graduating seniors when they flipped through the pages recapping every month since their freshman year.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is not exactly a popular figure right now, even among his fellow Democrats. As we’ve been covering throughout President Donald Trump’s second term, Schumer keeps having particularly cringeworthy moments, especially over social media, and he’s been ratioed over X plenty of times. The latest incident of terrorism against Jews and supporters of Israel is no different, as we saw from Sunday’s terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, which Schumer has responded to over social media.
“I’m closely monitoring the situation in Boulder. This is horrifying, and this cannot continue. We must stand up to antisemitism,” he posted on Sunday night, minutes after Mohamed Soliman allegedly targeted with Molotov cocktails. those participating in a pro-Israel “Run for Their Lives” event.
I’m closely monitoring the situation in Boulder. This is horrifying, and this cannot continue. We must stand up to antisemitism.
The Boulder, Colorado terror attack suspect planned on commiting a mass shooting over the weekend, however, he was stopped from obtaining a firearm due to his immigration status in the United States.
Illegal immigrant Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, who admitted he was planning to carry out the attack a year in advance, also told detectives that he was planning to make the attack a mass shooting. He had even taken a concealed-carry course to learn how to handle a firearm, according to the New York Post.
However, his attempt to purchase a gun was thwarted due to his status in the country illegally after the expiry of his visa, Boulder Judicial District Attorney Michael Dougherty said. Soliman, who is facing a total of 624 years behind bars, appeared in court on Monday afternoon, where he said he understood the orders placed against him involving the 12 victims. It was initially reported that there were eight people injured in the attack before four others came forward with injuries.
Soliman is facing 16 counts of attempted murder, which could result in a prison sentence of up to 384 years if convicted. He also faces 48 years for deploying two Molotov cocktails and another 192 years for allegedly attempting to use 16 additional incendiary devices found nearby. He has also been hit with federal hate crime charges.
If the rise of antisemitism after Hamas’ surprise October 7, 2023, attack on Israel didn’t indicate that more Jewish Americans should arm themselves, the wave of anti-Jewish assaults that occurred in recent months definitely should.
Fortunately, many Jewish Americans have already recognized this and have begun purchasing firearms at increasing rates. But the terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, shows that not only do more Jewish folks need to become gun owners, but also join the fight against gun control.
In the year following the October 7 attack, antisemitic incidents in the United States have skyrocketed to unprecedented levels, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The organization reported over 10,000 cases—the highest yearly figure since 1979. It represents a 200 percent increase from the previous year.
The Supreme Court declined to take up a pair of gun rights cases Monday, leaving in place Maryland’s ban on semiautomatic military-style rifles and Rhode Island’s restrictions on large-capacity magazines holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition.
The court’s action drew dissents from three conservatives, showing that the Supreme Court is still divided on how to handle Second Amendment cases after the justices expanded gun rights in a 2022 landmark decision.
Justice Clarence Thomas said the high court should have reviewed the lower-court ruling in the Maryland case and not put off the question of whether the government can ban the most popular rifle in America. The answer, he wrote, is of “critical importance to tens of millions of law-abiding AR-15 owners throughout the country.”
Jun. 2—AUGUSTA — Gov. Janet Mills has signed a new law creating an annual “day to remember” honoring democracy on the anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021 attacks on the U.S. Capitol.
The law, signed Thursday, will require the governor to issue a proclamation each year on the date “honoring the resilience of democracy” and encouraging people to use the day to reflect “on the values of democracy, civic responsibility and the importance of protecting constitutional governance.”
The annual proclamation would also encourage educational institutions and libraries to observe the day with discussions, events and programming to educate people about the importance of civic engagement and the rule of law.
Mills condemned the Jan. 6 attacks at the time, saying that leaders across the country should denounce the violence and defend democracy, and that all Americans should work to restore honor and decency.
The economy contracted at a 0.2% annual rate in the first quarter of 2025, the Bureau of Economic Analysis said Thursday in a revision to its estimate of GDP.
A preliminary report from the agency found that the economy contracted at a 0.3% rate in the quarter, so Thursday’s report represented an upward revision in the growth rate of a tenth of a percentage point.
While it is a slight improvement, the new report highlights the challenges the economy and President Donald Trump face in the coming months. They also raise concerns about the potential for a recession.
This is the second of three GDP estimates the BEA has published for the first quarter as more data are analyzed. The final report will come in late June.
President Trump on Thursday pardoned a former Army officer who was court-martialed for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine.
President Trump pardoned former Lt. Mark Bashaw after being convicted by a military court for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine in 2022.
The military also discharged Bashaw after his conviction.
Watch Bashaw here:
🇺🇸 I just received a Presidential Pardon from President Donald J. Trump. I am humbled, grateful, and ready to continue fighting for truth and justice in this great nation.
Thank you, Mr. President @realDonaldTrump and to your incredible team, WRWY🙏
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has shuttered its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) office.
According to Fox News, MIT President Sally Kornbluth announced the closing of the Institute Community and Equity Office (ICEO) last week.
“As I’ve said many times, MIT is in the talent business,” Kornbluth’s announcement read.
“Our success depends on attracting exceptionally talented people of every background, from across the country and around the world, and making sure everyone at MIT feels welcome and supported, so they can do their best work and thrive,” it added.
MIT has acknowledged the failure of its DEI programs, is sunsetting the Institute Community and Equity Office (ICEO), and is winding down its Strategic Action Plan for Belonging, Achievement, and Composition. https://t.co/d4pY8p8N9Hpic.twitter.com/t7W51Y5s4U
True to his word, FBI Director Kash Patel has released a treasure trove of secrets about the Crossfire Hurricane probe and the intentionally false narratives devised to justify it.
Ten days ago Kash Patel and Dan Bongino promised “give us a few weeks” in their infamous appearance on Fox News, promising that multiple investigations in to government corruption would soon become fruitful.
Here’s a short clip from that interview, which may turn out to age very well after all:
President Donald Trump on Wednesday issued several more pardons, including those for his political allies: former U.S. House member Michael Grimm of New York and ex-Connecticut Gov. John Rowland. Trump has largely circumvented the process run through the Department of Justice. Trump’s new pardon attorney Ed Martin last week reviewed commutation applications for the president to consider, a source told CNN.
A US federal court has blocked President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs, in a major blow to a key component of his economic policies.
The Court of International Trade ruled that an emergency law invoked by the White House did not give the president unilateral authority to impose tariffs on nearly every country.
The Manhattan-based court said the US Constitution gave Congress exclusive powers to regulate commerce with other nations and this was not superseded by the president’s remit to safeguard the economy.
The Trump administration lodged an appeal within minutes of the ruling.
‘Being Catholic in public is not an offense on Columbia’s campus,’ free speech expert says
Following complaints, Columbia University’s Office of Institutional Equity recently confronted graduate student Daniel Di Martino for comments he made on social media expressing his Catholic beliefs and criticizing transgenderism.
Di Martino told The Fix the matter is now closed — but only after he went public. The doctoral student said the university closed the investigation after he published a story in City Journal detailing what happened.
The incident began when Di Martino “received an email from the OIE accusing [him] of ‘conduct that could constitute discriminatory harassment’” earlier this year, he wrote in his City Journal piece.
“The message included no details, and when [he] asked for clarification, OIE didn’t provide any,” Di Martino wrote. Then, three university officials called Di Martino in for a meeting to tell him he had been the subject of “multiple complaints.”
A new study published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics has shown that Venus has at least 20 co-orbital asteroids that could potentially approach the Earth.
The study was led by Valerio Carruba from the University of São Paulo in Brazil. In it, researchers stated that some asteroids could pose a collisional hazard to Earth. There are allegedly many asteroids that could come close to or hit Earth. One asteroid is being considered a potential “city-killer.”
The study also showed that these asteroids could be difficult to spot, which would make it more challenging to predict how they might impact Earth, if at all. There are also asteroids that scientists are not yet aware of.
We here at the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website have been viewing the Jake Tapper media tour with a degree of amusement. He’s promoting his “now it can be told” book, which claims that everything we said about Joe Biden was true (with that other quiet guy who sits next to him looking weird). Now, Tapper is admitting how everything we said about Democrats and the media is true.
But this new clip of him, a CNN employee, blasting the media for letting Democrats get away with the lawfare they declared on Donald Trump… what do you even say to this?
To set the stage, since Tapper was a guest on Stephen A. Smith’s podcast, here is Stephen A. pointing out the true crime committed by the People Who Controlled Joe Biden Administration as exposed in the book: it makes Donald Trump look right about everything.
Well, if you were willing to do that, then doesn’t it strengthen his argument that lawfare is being used against him?
The court found the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which Trump has cited as his basis for ordering massive increases in import duties, does not authorize the use of tariffs.
A three-judge panel ruled on several lawsuits arguing Trump exceeded his authority, casting doubt on trade policies that have jolted global financial markets, frustrated trade partners and raised uncertainty over the outlook for inflation and the global economy. The Trump administration filed an appeal, and it was unclear if the White House will respond to the ruling by pausing all of its emergency power tariffs in the interim.
Many of Trump’s double-digit tariff hikes are paused for up to 90 days to allow time for trade negotiations, but the uncertainty over their eventual outcome has stymied businesses and left consumers wary about what lies ahead.
“Just when traders thought they’d seen every twist in the tariff saga, the gavel dropped like a lightning bolt over the Pacific,” Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management said in a commentary.
The federal government will begin revoking the visas of some Chinese international students, including those studying in “critical fields,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday — the latest restriction on foreign students.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, the U.S. State Department will work with the Department of Homeland Security to aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields,” Rubio wrote in a statement.
Rubio also said the government will “revise visa criteria to enhance scrutiny of all future visa applications from the People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong.”
China is the second-largest country of origin for international students, behind only India. In the 2023-24 school year, more than 270,000 international students were from China, making up roughly a quarter of all foreign students in the United States.
Texas governor Greg Abbott called for the death penalty for two illegal immigrants accused in the hit-and-run death of 18-year-old Ava Moore, a newly enlisted US Air Force recruit, who was killed while kayaking on Grapevine Lake during Memorial Day weekend.“Welcome to Texas. Here’s your death penalty,” the Republican governor posted on X, alongside a video news report covering the arrests of Daikerlyn Alejandra Gonzalez Gonzalez and Maikel Perozo, both originally from Venezuela.Moore had just graduated from the US Air Force Academy Preparatory School and was preparing to begin basic training. She had been spending the holiday weekend with her family in North Texas when the tragic crash occurred on Sunday evening, the New York Post reported.
Chaos erupted on the second day of aid operations by a new U.S.-backed group in Gaza as desperate Palestinians overwhelmed a center distributing food on Tuesday, breaking through fences.
Nearby Israeli troops fired warning shots, sending people fleeing in panic.
An AP journalist heard Israeli tank and gunfire and saw a military helicopter firing flares. The Israeli military said its troops fired the warning shots in the area outside the center and that “control over the situation was established.”
At least three injured Palestinians were seen by the Associated Press being brought from the scene, one of them bleeding from his leg.
The distribution hub outside Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah had been opened the day before by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which has been slated by Israel to take over aid operations.
British prosecutors have approved multiple charges against social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate, including rape and human trafficking. The brothers, who face similar charges in Romania, have denied any wrongdoing.
The UK’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said on Wednesday that it had authorized 21 charges related to offences allegedly committed between 2012 and 2015, according to multiple media outlets. British authorities issued a warrant in 2024, but full details were released only on Wednesday.
Andrew Tate, 38, is accused of ten offences involving three alleged victims, including rape, actual bodily harm, human trafficking and controlling prostitution for gain. His brother Tristan, 36, faces 11 charges, including rape and human trafficking, related to one alleged victim.
“It is extremely important that there be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings,” the CPS was quoted as saying.
The UK has said it wants to accelerate negotiations to conclude a trade deal with Donald Trump in the wake of the US court ruling that the sweeping tariffs he imposed on imports from more than 60 countries were illegal.
Despite Keir Starmersealing the first deal with Trump since his so-called “liberation day” at the start of April no legal text exists to bring the concessions he won into force. The UK is also still threatened with a 10% reciprocal tariff on all exports outside the deal which was seen as a life saver for the car and steel industries.
The business secretary, Jonathan Reynolds, is expected to meet US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick at a meeting of the OECD in Paris next Tuesday.
The death of Texas teem Ava Moore, who was set to attend the Air Force Academy, was but the latest in a long trail of death and destruction at the hands of criminal illegal aliens allowed to enter into the country unabated. And in an awful but predictable omission, most of the major newscasts neglected to report this story.
ABC World News Tonight was the only newscast to air the story. Here is that report in its entirety, as aired on Wednesday, May 28th, 2025:
An illegal immigrant has been detained after another threat was made against President Donald Trump.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced the arrest in a statement, saying U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had arrested Ramon Morales Reyes.
“Thanks to our ICE officers, this illegal alien who threatened to assassinate President Trump is behind bars,” she said.
On May 21, ICE office received a threatening letter they said came from Reyes.
“We are tired of this president messing with us Mexicans — we have done more for this country than you white people — you have been deporting my family and I think it is time Donald J. Trump get what he has coming to him,” the letter said, according to Noem’s statement.
