“They’re not poor people. That’s for sure,” one resident said.

The Texas teen accused of stabbing Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet earlier in the month is reportedly holed up in a $900,000 home with his family that they are renting for an estimated $3,500 per month.

According to the Daily Mail, 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony and his family are renting the Frisco home that lies within an exclusive gated community. Anthony was released on a $250,000 bond after it was reduced from $1 million, and is under house arrest. He has to wear an ankle monitor as part of the terms of his release.

The Daily Mail went to the home, seeing a white Suburban, a black Acura, and another sedan in the driveway. One resident of the neighborhood said the family had just purchased a new car. “He got a new car. If you look at the license plate, it’s got a paper tag and it says it expires June 4,” the resident said.

Residents were unaware that the Anthonys lived in the neighborhood until Karmelo Anthony came home from jail on Monday. The “Richwoods” gated community is located within walking distance of Centennial High School, which Anthony attends.

One resident and mother of the neighborhood told the outlet of Anthony being in the neighborhood, “Not good. Not good. I don’t think he should be out. I don’t understand why he had a knife? My kids were in track. Your tents, for you school, you don’t sit under another school’s tent. That is NOT done because everyone leaves their stuff there while they’re out on events.”

U.S. senator to travel to El Salvador if Trump won’t return wrongfully deported man – National– globalnews.ca

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen is vowing to travel to El Salvador to negotiate the release of a wrongly deported man after the Trump administration ignored a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate his return to the U.S.

In a letter sent to the El Salvadorian Ambassador on April 13 before Trump’s tête-à-tête with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, Van Hollen requested a meeting with Bukele during his U.S. visit to discuss “the illegal detention of [his] constituent, Kilmar Abrego Garcia,” after the Supreme Court agreed on Thursday to unanimously uphold U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis’s ruling that he was wrongly deported and that the U.S. government was responsible for bringing him home.

(It’s unclear if Van Hollen ever got to meet with Bukele.)

Democrats have finally found a cause they can rally around, and they are falling over themselves to make themselves part of it:

According to Axios:

 

Two members of House Democratic leadership are trying to send an official congressional delegation to the El Salvadorian prison where the Trump administration is sending deportees, Axios has learned.

 

Why it matters: Dozens of House Democrats have privately expressed interest in participating in such a trip to protest the Trump administration’s deportation policies, sources tell Axios.

 

    • But while lawmakers could travel to the Central American country informally, a Republican committee chair’s approval is needed to send an official congressional delegation, or CODEL.

 

    • A CODEL would provide the members with crucial oversight powers and security resources.

BREAKING: Wife of ‘Maryland Man’ Abrego Garcia filed domestic violence protective order against him in 2021 | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com

Excerpt:

The wife of Kilmar Garcia, a man who was deported from Maryland to his native El Salvador in March 14, has spoken out publicly to ask that he be returned to the US and their family. A GoFundMe crowdsourcing campaign has raised over $165,000. What Jenniefer Vasquez did not mention, however, is that she petitioned for a domestic violence protective order against him in 2021.

Revealing the information about the protective order in a post, Andy Ngo said “The wife of deported suspected gang terrorist Kilmar Abrego Garcia either lied to the court when she petitioned for a domestic violence protective order against him or she is lying now on the GoFundMe claiming he is an excellent husband as over $162K has poured in.” The case detail shows that it was brought by Vasquez against Garcia in May 2021 for domestic violence. The case has since been closed. Garcia has been referred to by many media outlets as a “Maryland man” or “Maryland dad.”

Per The Chesepeake Today, “Jennifer Vasquez filed for a protective order due to domestic violence from her husband on May 13, 2021, and a final order was issued on June 17, 2021, by Prince George’s County District Court Judge LaKeecia Allen. Judge Allen was elevated to the Circuit Court on Aug. 1, 2024, by Maryland Governor Wes Moore. Judge Allen previously served as a prosecutor in the Prince George’s State’s Attorney’s Office.”

In a press conference, Vasquez said “I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive.” She spoke directly to Garcia, saying “stay strong. God has not forgotten about you.” She said she was “pleading with the Trump administration and the Bukele administration to stop playing political games with the life of Kilmar.” Their children, she said, miss their father. “I hope that the strength of faith and the resilience within us will keep us standing after all the punches we continue to receive. Our ability to fight back against these governments are testimonies to the fight and strength that God has given us.”

Democrat lawmakers from the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate are reportedly planning trips to El Salvador to seek the release of an alleged MS-13 gang member and bring him back to the United States where he lived illegally from 2012 until March 2025.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, 29, was among the hundreds of illegal immigrants—a large percentage of them MS-13 and Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua gang members—deported to El Salvador last month under the Alien Enemies Act.

On Monday, Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) reportedly sent a letter to El Salvador’s ambassador to the United States asking for a meeting with the President Nayib Bukele while he was in Washington D.C.

El Salvador’s President Nayib Armando Bukele told reporters during a meeting with President Donald Trump later in the day that he “of course” would not “smuggle” Kilmar Abrego Garcia back into the United States.

Trump Administration Will Freeze $2 Billion After Harvard Refuses Demands – The New York Times– news.google.com

Excerpt:

The Trump administration acted quickly on Monday to punish Harvard University after it refused to comply with a list of demands from the federal government that the school said were unlawful.

On Monday afternoon, Harvard became the first university to refuse to comply with the administration’s requirements, setting up a showdown between the federal government and the nation’s wealthiest university. By the evening, federal officials said they would freeze $2.2 billion in multiyear grants to Harvard, along with a $60 million contract.

Other universities have pushed back against the administration’s interference in higher education. But Harvard’s response, which called the Trump administration’s demands illegal, marked a major shift in tone for the nation’s most influential school, which has been criticized in recent weeks for capitulating to Trump administration pressure.

China has suspended exports of a wide range of critical minerals and magnets, threatening to choke off supplies of components central to automakers, aerospace manufacturers, semiconductor companies and military contractors around the world.

Shipments of the magnets, essential for assembling everything from cars and drones to robots and missiles, have been halted at many Chinese ports while the Chinese government drafts a new regulatory system. Once in place, the new system could permanently prevent supplies from reaching certain companies, including American military contractors.

The official crackdown is part of China’s retaliation for President Trump’s sharp increase in tariffs that started on April 2.

Pennsylvania Gov Josh Shapiro angrily called for an end to rising political violence just hours after a man broke into the governor’s mansion and set it on fire, forcing Shapiro and his family to flee into the night.

It was the latest in a string of partisan political attacks in the United States.

“This kind of violence is becoming far too common in our society. And I don’t give a damn if it’s coming from one particular side or the other,” Shapiro said. “It has to stop.”

While police have not said what might have motivated the attack early Sunday, court documents say the suspect admitted he hated Shapiro and was plotting to beat him with a hammer.

“The attacker basically wasn’t a fan of anybody,” President Donald Trump told reporters on Monday. “And certainly, a thing like that cannot be allowed to happen.”

ChatGPT will help you jailbreak its own image-generation rules, report finds– mashable.com

Excerpt:

Eased restrictions around ChatGPT image generation can make it easy to create political deepfakes, according to a report from the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation).

The CBC discovered that not only was it easy to work around ChatGPT’s policies of depicting public figures, it even recommended ways to jailbreak its own image generation rules. Mashable was able to recreate this approach by uploading images of Elon Musk and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and then describing them as fictional characters in various situations (“at a dark smoky club” “on a beach drinking piña coladas”).

Political deepfakes are nothing new. But widespread availability of generative AI models that can create images, video, audio, and text to replicate people has real consequences. For commercially-marketed tools like ChatGPT to allow the potential spread of political disinformation raises questions about OpenAI’s responsibility in the space. That duty to safety could become compromised as AI companies compete for user adoption.

Columbia University student activist Mohsen Mahdawi was summoned to a meeting with immigration officials in Vermont on Monday but was instead detained. Mahdawi holds a green card in the US but was raised in the West Bank until moving to the US in 2014.

At that meeting, ICE began the process of deporting Mahdawi to the West Bank. Mahdawi’s lawyer, per The Intercept, said that he was “unlawfully detained for no reason other than his Palestinian identity. He came to this country hoping to be free to speak out about the atrocities he has witnessed, only to be punished for such speech.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has cited a provision in the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. Rubio made the comments in regard to the detainment and deportation of former Columbia graduate student Mahmoud Khalil, saying that Rubio could determine if Khalil could legally remain in the US.

A New Mexico man was charged with federal arson crimes for allegedly vandalizing a Tesla dealership and starting a fire at the state’s GOP headquarters in Albuquerque.

Jamison Wagner, 40, was charged with two counts of malicious damage or destruction of property by fire or explosives. He faces up to 20 years in prison for each count if convicted.

“Let this be the final lesson to those taking part in this ongoing wave of political violence,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement. “We will arrest you, we will prosecute you, and we will not negotiate. Crimes have consequences.”

Wagner allegedly vandalized the Tesla dealership in February with various phrases, including “Die Elon,” “Tesla Nazi Inc,” and “Die Tesla Nazi,” along with swastikas, according to court filings. He also allegedly started a fire affecting two Tesla vehicles, significantly damaging one of them.

Protests and attacks on Tesla vehicles and dealerships have surged in response to Elon Musk’s involvement in the Trump administration.

“See, some of them, they don’t even want to go to work and some of them, they’ve taken a high risk. And, definitely, it’s not much to celebrate.”

This year’s Cinco de Mayo Parade in Chicago will not be happening. Organizers announced on Thursday that the event and its related celebrations on the city’s Southwest Side have been called off.

The reason, they say, is fear within the Mexican community due to immigration policies under President Donald Trump’s administration. Organizers said they chose to cancel the event to focus on safety rather than profits, ABC 7 reports.

“Our people are scared,” said Hector Escobar, President of the Casa Puebla & Cermak Road Chamber of Commerce. “See, some of them, they don’t even want to go to work and some of them, they’ve taken a high risk. And, definitely, it’s not much to celebrate.”

Since Trump took office, Chicago, which is a sanctuary city, has become a target for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). There has been an increase in deportation activity both in the city and nearby suburbs. That increase has created worry for local businesses in the Little Village neighborhood, where the parade normally begins on Cermak Road.

White House Homeland Security advisor Stephen Miller on Monday called the Justice Department attorney who was handling the Abrego Garcia deportation case a Democrat “saboteur” and accused him of falsely claiming Garcia was mistakenly removed.

On April 4, DOJ attorney, Erez Reuveni, told U.S. District Court Judge Paula Xinis that Garcia “should not have been removed,” and that he didn’t know why the alleged MS-13 member was even arrested. “I am also frustrated that I also have no answers for you on a lot of these questions,” he said.

After that court appearance, Reuveni was placed on leave. “At my direction, every Department of Justice attorney is required to zealously advocate on behalf of the United States,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement on April 5. “Any attorney who fails to abide by this direction will face consequences.”

International travel to the United States fell 12% in March compared to rates from March 2024, according to the National Travel and Tourism Office.

From January to March, 7.1 million visitors entered the U.S. from abroad, a 3.3% decline from the first three months of 2024. This marks the sharpest decrease in travel since the COVID-19 pandemic.

The U.S. tourism industry expected the year to be positive regarding travelers from abroad visiting the U.S. In 2024, the number of international visitors to the U.S. rose, with some forecasts predicting 2025 would reach pre-COVID levels.

Tourism Economics, a travel forecasting company, originally anticipated the U.S. would have nearly 9% more international arrivals this year but revised its annual outlook last week to a 9.4% decline.

But travel from overseas has nosedived for tourists upset by President Donald Trump’s tariffs and reports of dozens of tourists being arrested at the border.

Common sense is winning!

Redmond Sullivan, a transgender (biological male) athlete who used to fence for Wagner College, is no longer a part of the women’s team. OutKick was the first to learn about the development.

It’s not known if Wagner kicked Sullivan off the team or if the trans athlete left the program. With that being said though, a statement from the college, as well as their actions, show that it was most likely the former.

“We are in full compliance with NCAA and NEC [Northeast Conference] rules and regulations,” said a spokesperson for Wagner College to OutKick. “The fencer is not a member of our fencing team.”

The last time that Sullivan competed for Wagner College in women’s fencing was Dec. 1 in Staten Island, New York for the Seahawk Invitational. Here in 2025, the fencer hasn’t competed at all, most likely because of President Donald Trump’s executive order and the NCAA’s policy change on transgenders.

PANAMA CITY, Panama — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had one mission on his trip to Panama — to secure a deal to get “first and free” passage for U.S. ships in the Panama Canal, a critical waterway for the United States’ economy and military that was at risk of falling under China’s control.

As the secretary and his team flew the down from Washington on Monday evening to meet with Panama’s leaders, such a deal with Panama was far from certain.

While the U.S. had built the canal in the early 1900s and maintained it for decades before handing it over to Panama, China had in recent years poured money into projects and infrastructure attached to it. As a passageway between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans that handles more than 40 percent of U.S. maritime trade, if China were able to close the canal, it would be a catastrophe for the U.S.

President Donald Trump, early on in his administration, made retaking the canal from Chinese influence a top priority. In December, even before he took office for the second time, he posted about it on Truth Social:
