ICE arrests illegal immigrant wanted for murder in Brazil

0

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Philadelphia arrested a Senegalese illegal immigrant who is wanted for murder in Brazil.

Gora Tourie Fall, a 34-year-old citizen of Senegal, was arrested during a targeted enforcement operation on Dec. 10, in Philadelphia, ICE officials said in a statement. 

Fall was caught and released by the Biden-Harris administration’s Border Patrol in Eagle Pass, Texas, in April 2021, officials stated. 

Officials said Fall was later issued a notice to appear before an immigration judge and then released on parole.

ICE says they were made aware of Fall’s outstanding arrest warrant in Brazil in May. 

Fall is now being held in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment on the arrest but did not immediately receive a response. 

Nearly 100 illegal immigrants on the terror watch list have been released into the United States during the Biden administration, and Border Patrol agents have encountered migrants on the watch list from dozens of different countries, a House report from August revealed.

“Under the Biden-Harris Administration, of the more than 250 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist (sic) who were encountered by Border Patrol at the southwest border between fiscal years 2021 and 2023, DHS has released into American communities at least 99, with at least 34 others in DHS custody but not yet removed from the United States,” reads the report by Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee, a copy of which was first obtained by Fox News Digital.

The staff interim report also found that immigration judges granted bond to at least 27 migrants on the watch list who entered illegally and that Border Patrol has encountered tens of thousands of migrants from countries that could present national security risks, including 2,134 Afghan nationals, 33,347 Chinese nationals, 541 Iranian nationals, 520 Syrian nationals and 3,104 Uzbek nationals.

“That does not include the untold numbers of potential terrorists that evaded Border Patrol to enter the United States as part of nearly 2 million ‘gotaways’ since the beginning of the Biden-Harris Administration,” the report says.

The report, citing information provided to committee staff in June, also found that Border Patrol encountered migrants on the terror watch list from 36 different countries, including places with an active terror presence. Those countries include Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, Tajikistan and Yemen.

“With national security experts and immigration officials increasingly concerned about the threat of terrorism originating from the border, it is clear that policymakers must take all necessary steps to secure the border and stop the flow of illegal aliens. However, the Biden-Harris Administration has refused to address the national security nightmare created by its radical, open-borders agenda,” the report reads.

Another scathing report released by the committee in October added that more than 1.7 million migrants have been encountered at the U.S. border and have come from countries that officials believe pose a national security threat to the U.S.

The report says the number of “special interest aliens” (SIAs) came from a congressional staff briefing by Department of Homeland Security officials. SIAs are those who have come from countries identified by the U.S. government as having conditions that promote or protect terrorism or potentially pose some sort of national security threat to the U.S.

Russian paramilitary soldiers killed in friendly fire attack

0

Russian paramilitary soldiers were accidentally targeted and killed by North Korean troops in a recent bout of friendly fire, according to Ukrainian officials.

In a statement published on Saturday, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU) detailed how Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) soldiers have recently assisted Russian troops in the Kursk Oblast, which is currently occupied by Ukrainian forces. Ukrainian officials estimate that around 11,000 DPRK personnel are stationed in Russia.

“The aggressor state of Russia has begun to use DPRK soldiers in assault operations in the Kursk region, in particular, as part of the combined units of the marines and airborne troops of the Russian Armed Forces,” the statement read. 

“The North Korean troops suffer sanitary and irreversible losses as a result of a successful fire attack by the Ukrainian Security and Defense Forces,” the DIU added. “In particular, at one of the positions in the Kursk region, the DPRK army was effectively targeted by FPV drones.”

The DIU noted that, in a recent incident, the language barrier between Russian and North Korean troops ultimately led to the death of eight soldiers in the Akhmat special forces unit, which is a paramilitary group in Chechnya. 

“When using the DPRK troops on the battlefield, the language barrier remains problematic to control and coordinate actions,” the statement said.

“Because of this problem, North Korean soldiers opened ‘friendly fire’ on the vehicles of the so-called Akhmat battalion,” the DIU added. “As a result, they killed eight Kadyrovite soldiers.”

This latest development in the Russo-Ukrainian war came as the Russian military continued to pummel Ukraine’s power grid, taking advantage of freezing conditions to devastate the country’s largest energy company.

Chiefs give injury update on Patrick Mahomes after getting shaken up in win over Browns

0

The Kansas City Chiefs picked up another win on Sunday, this time against the Cleveland Browns on the road, but it didn’t come without an injury to quarterback Patrick Mahomes. 

Carson Wentz took over in the final minutes of the fourth quarter after Mahomes got crushed while making a pass. 

On a 4th-down play looking to extend a drive, Mahomes jumped on his pass attempt to one of his receivers just as Browns defensive lineman Dalvin Tomlinson was diving to tackle him.

As Tomlinson made the tackle, he had Mahomes’ ankle wrapped up underneath him, and it didn’t help that Mike Hall Jr. also hit Mahomes above his waist to bend him backwards as well. 

The nasty-looking hit saw Mahomes in immediate pain as he started to limp off the field, trying to stay off his right ankle. 

NFL LEGEND DREW BREES NOT COUNTING OUT CHIEFS DESPITE NARROW ESCAPES: ‘THEY’RE NEVER PRETENDERS’

After the game, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid provided an update on the situation with this franchise signal-caller. 

“His right ankle has been hurt,” he said to reporters. “It’s not broken, but it’s sore. He’ll get started on the rehab part of it as we go. We’ll just have to see how he does down the road here.”

NFL Network reported that Mahomes is considered week-to-week at the moment after his preliminary diagnosis, which included negative X-rays. 

However, like Reid said, the Chiefs will know just how long Mahomes may be out following further testing on Monday.

Bill Belichick’s former players speak out after coach’s shocking decision to take North Carolina job

0

Bill Belichick’s decision to take the North Carolina Tar Heels job came as a shock to many around the professional and college football world.

Belichick, at 72 and one of the most highly respected former NFL head coaches, has never coached at the collegiate level. He was an assistant with the Baltimore Colts in 1975 before eventually winning several Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and New York Giants.

The decision to go to college at this juncture of his life and career left one of his former players, linebacker Tedy Bruschi, quizzical.

“What are we doing here? I mean, with Bill Belichick going to coach North Carolina. I mean, college football — there’s only one bowl game I want to see Bill Belichick coaching and that’s the Super Bowl, OK?” he said on ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown.” “I don’t want to see him coaching some Lawnmower Bowl in December or January. That’s just not who I am.”

“I don’t know how there wouldn’t be any interest as to where you bring a Belichick in, and he makes you immediately relevant and well-coached by who he is,” Bruschi continued. “Would he make one of these teams that needed a head coach this year an immediate contender? I mean, yes, he would. He is that good. Now, he’s not going to be on the level of six championships New England Patriots or anything like that, but your team would be competent from the get-go; and then it’s on your players.

“I can’t believe Bill Belichick won’t be in the NFL next year. … I don’t know how this happened.”

Belichick officially agreed to take the job last week despite checking in to see if there was interest from the New York Jets’ side about possibly coaching them, despite historical drama surrounding both parties.

Julian Edelman weighed in on the move and offered a sunnier taker.

“It’s the most surprising thing in the history of anything to me that the greatest NFL football coach is not going to be in the NFL,” the former wide receiver said on “FOX NFL Kickoff.” “The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.”

“A, projecting players: I was a quarterback in college, played receiver [in the NFL]. Tom Brady was a sixth-round draft pick, became the greatest quarterback of all time. Rob Gronkowski was a second-round pick, became the greatest tight end of all time. He knows how to project players.

“B, nostalgia: Bill’s dad coached at North Carolina … he loves anything his dad was a part of, so that makes sense. And then, three, [seeing] the ‘Hoodie’ in a [Michael] Jordan Tar Heel powder blue.”

Belichick is set to replace Mack Brown as head coach. The Tar Heels are 6-6 this year and play UConn in the Fenway Bowl. Freddie Kitchens will coach the team for the game.

Ravens star Lamar Jackson launches 5 touchdowns to destroy Giants

0

The highest point spread of the NFL season came to fruition on Sunday as the Baltimore Ravens thrashed the New York Giants, 35-14, with Lamar Jackson throwing five touchdown passes to lead the way for the flock.

Baltimore, coming off its Week 14 bye, is now 9-5 on the season. Meanwhile, the Giants are eyeing the first overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft after falling to 2-12. 

It was an inauspicious start for the Ravens after Justice Hill got them in terrific field position with a long kickoff return. However, on the first offensive snap, Jackson fumbled what would’ve been a first down run.

But the Ravens forced back-to-back punts from the Giants before finally getting their way into the colored paint. 

It was Mark Andrews finding the end zone on a 13-yard strike by Jackson, and he set a Ravens record in the process with his 48th career score for the most in franchise history. 

Andrews finished the game with two catches for 24 yards and the score.

Rashod Bateman, though, was the Ravens’ leading receiver in this game despite having just three catches. He scored twice for Jackson, including a beautiful pass on the run for a 49-yard score. 

Bateman would score again on the very next drive, this time from 20 yards out in the back left of the end zone.

The game would see a 21-7 score at halftime, with the Giants able to get Devin Singletary into the end zone to at least get on the board. 

But Baltimore set the tone in the second half with a 12-play drive that churned 6:38 of clock and made it 28-7 with Devontez Walker scoring his first career touchdown, a 21-yard catch-and-run. 

Meanwhile, the Giants had Tim Boyle enter the game after Tommy DeVito suffered a head injury. He was able to find Malik Nabers, who had 10 catches for 82 yards, in the end zone. 

But that came after Jackson had found Hill for another long touchdown, this time a 27-yard catch-and-run for his fifth and final touchdown on the day. 

Jackson was uber efficient in this one, going 21-for-25 for 290 yards while also rushing for 65 yards on six carries.

Bernie Sanders joins list of progressives condemning violence while offering explanation for CEO shooting

0

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., the latest progressive that appeared to offer a justification of the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson after condemning the violence.

On “Meet the Press” Sunday, Sanders was asked about Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s, D-Mass., controversial comments on Thompson’s death. 

“Violence is never the answer. This guy gets a trial who’s allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth[care], but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands,” Warren said.

In responding to Warren’s comment, Sanders similarly appeared to offer an explanation for the killing after initially condemning the violence.

ELIZABETH WARREN SAYS KILLING OF UNITEDHEALTHCARE CEO WAS A WARNING: ‘YOU CAN ONLY PUSH PEOPLE SO FAR’

“Look, Elizabeth Warren obviously understands killing and murder and shooting somebody in the back is totally unacceptable, but what I think has happened in the last few months is that what you have seen rising up is people’s anger at a health insurance industry, which denies people the health care that they desperately need while they make billions and billions of dollars in profit,” Sanders said.

“So, killing anybody, shooting somebody in the back who was the father of two, is outrageous. And it’s unacceptable. Nobody, nobody should applaud it. I know Senator Warren did not. But I think what we need to ask ourselves when we talk about health care, is why we are the only major country on Earth not to guarantee health care to all people, why we have a life expectancy which is significantly lower than in other countries, why working-class people die five to 10 years shorter than the people on top,” he continued.

After receiving significant blowback, Warren later walked back her comments.

“Violence is never the answer. Period,” she told Fox News Digital. “I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.”

Luigi Mangione, who has been accused of killing Thompson, became a hero to far-left figures online as retribution against healthcare insurance companies denying coverage.

Other more mainstream progressive figures condemned the violence but conditioned their comments on attacking the healthcare system. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., similarly said the shooting was not justified but added that denied claims could be seen as “an act of violence.”

“This is not to say that an act of violence is justified, but I think for anyone who is confused or shocked or appalled, they need to understand that people interpret and feel and experience denied claims as an act of violence against them,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

Netflix’s ‘Mary’ movie puts spotlight on Mother of God

Netflix’s new movie “Mary” tells the story of the life of the woman who would eventually become known as the Theotokos, the Blessed Mother, the Queen of Heaven and more.

The movie, directed by D.J. Caruso, stars actors Noa Cohen as Mary and Anthony Hopkins as King Herod. It reached No. 1 on Netflix’s charts shortly after its Dec. 6 release. 

But who is Mary — and why is she such an important figure during the Advent and Christmas seasons? 

MARTIN SCORSESE PROFILES ST. MAXIMILIAN KOLBE, PATRON SAINT OF PRISONERS AND DRUG ADDICTS

What does the Bible say about her? 

Mary’s special status is made evident early in the Gospel of Luke. Luke 1:28 reads, “And he came to her and said, ‘Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!'”

An image of the Annunciation, depicting the angel Gabriel (left) speaking to the Virgin Mary, Mother of God.   (iStock)

This line is part of the story of the Annunciation, when the Virgin Mary was told by the archangel Gabriel that she would conceive and bear the Messiah, Jesus. 

Mary would issue her consent to this in Luke 1:38, saying, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your word.” 

The phrase “full of grace” means that Mary was unlike others who were still stained with original sin.

Catholics believe that Mary was conceived immaculately, without sin. 

“If she is entirely inhabited by God, there is no room within her for sin.”

Speaking of this verse in 2017, Pope Francis said the phrase “full of grace” means that “Mary is filled with the presence of God.”

“And if she is entirely inhabited by God, there is no room within her for sin,” he said.

This, Pope Francis said, “is an extraordinary thing because everything in the world, regrettably, is contaminated by evil. Each of us, looking within ourselves, sees dark sides. Even the greatest saints were sinners and everything in reality, even the most beautiful things, are corroded by evil: everything, except Mary.”

He added that Mary is “the one ‘evergreen oasis’ of humanity, the only one uncontaminated, created immaculate so as to fully welcome, with her ‘yes,’ God who came into the world and thus to begin a new history.” 

HERE’S WHY MARY, MOTHER OF GOD, IS SUCH A KEY FIGURE IN THE ADVENT SEASON

The importance of the role of Mary in this story and during the Advent season cannot be understated, Mark Miravalle told Fox News Digital in 2023. 

“From manger scenes to postage stamps, from Christmas cards to Advent hymns, the image of the Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ makes its universal appearance during the Advent season,” Miravalle said.

Miravalle is a professor of theology and holds the Constance Shifflin-Blum Chair of Mariology at Ave Maria University in Florida. 

He is president of the International Marian Association, as well as the author and editor of more than 20 books.

“Thus, we believe that a human woman gave human nature to the second Person of the Trinity by the power of the Holy Spirit, so that Jesus Christ, God and man, could redeem the world,” he said. 

Advent, a time of spiritual preparation for the coming of Jesus Christ, “rightly honors the human cooperation of a woman in God’s loving plan to bring humanity its Savior,” Miravalle said.

“How powerfully this manifests God’s profound respect for the dignity of the human person, for our free cooperation in his divine plan of salvation and for the special dignity of woman,” he said.

While Mary is revered in some Christian denominations, there is “no competition” between her and her son, Jesus, said Miravelle.

“There is no competition between the divine Jesus and the human Mary, but rather a son and mother’s union of heart in obedience to the Heavenly Father’s plan, which led to the glorious birth and ultimate victory of the Savior of the world,” he said.

Tennessee Titans defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat went viral on Sunday for his run back during a fumble recovery against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was trying to go down for a sack in the second quarter when he was hit and the ball was knocked out of his arms before he hit the ground. Sweat recovered the fumble and started to turn up the field.

Sweat, who is 6-foot-4 and 366 pounds, was met by Bengals offensive lineman Alex Cappa and he hit him with a vicious stiff arm. Sweat returned the fumble 30 yards and set Tennessee up at their own 41-yard line.

Unfortunately, Titans quarterback Will Levis turned the ball over with a fumble of his own on the team’s next possession. It led to a touchdown pass from Burrow to defensive end Sam Hubbard and tied the game at 14 apiece with 5:13 to go in the first half.

Chris Christie slams Mayorkas dismissing drone concerns

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie slammed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ dismissal of the drone activity and said that to suggest it wasn’t unusual activity was ridiculous.

“Is this a mass hysteria of some sort?” ABC News host George Stephanopoulos asked the former governor. The ABC News host also just spoke to Mayorkas, who said the public had no reason to be concerned about the drones and that they hadn’t seen any unusual activity. 

Dozens of drones have been spotted flying throughout New Jersey over the last few weeks, as government officials have yet to determine where they’re coming from or who operates them. 

“Here’s why, George,” Christie said. “Because of answers like the secretary just gave. They’re not answering the questions.”

MORE THAN 20 DAYS INTO PHENOMENON, PENTAGON STILL HAS NO ANSWERS ABOUT ORIGINS OF MYSTERIOUS NJ DRONES

“To say this is not unusual activity, it’s just wrong. I’ve lived in New Jersey my whole life. This is the first time that I’ve noticed drones over my house. And I was in a restaurant in Monmouth County on Friday night, had people at the bar coming up to me and saying, ‘Gov. Murphy won’t tell me anything. The president won’t tell me anything,’” Christie said.

Christie detailed his own experience, and said he had stopped drones flying over his house in New Jersey a couple of days ago. 

“The Biden Administration and state authorities have to be more vocal and let people know exactly what they’re doing. This interview this morning was a bit of a better step, but I think much too little too late, and when people see this kind of activity, it’s a new-ish technology to most people, and they’re worried about it and concerned,” he added. 

Stephanopoulos asked, “so you don’t think it’s the kind of thing where once people become focused on it, they actually see things that they wouldn’t necessarily pay attention to in the past?”

Christie said it might be “some of that,” but said people, including himself, were seeing drones fly above their homes for the first time in their lives. 

The former governor said if he was still governor he’d want “our state police to be able to have the authority to bring those drones down and find out why they’re doing what they’re doing, and of course, you would have to coordinate with the FAA.”

“What we’re going to find, George, is you’re going to have individuals acting as drone vigilantes, and they’ll start taking them down. That’s not what they want, because they’re now an important part of commerce and law enforcement uses them frequently for surveillance and other things. We need to be able to operate in a safe way, and we’re not doing that,” he added.

College football analyst blasts refs over Navy star penalty after crucial TD vs Army

0

CBS college football analyst Gary Danielson was irate about a controversial third-quarter call during Navy’s stunning win over Army on Saturday.

Midshipmen quarterback Blake Horvath threw a 52-yard touchdown pass to Eli Heidenreich to put the team up 21-10 with 6:34 left in the frame. Heidenreich received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty immediately after the play when he spiked the ball near the foot of Army linebacker Elo Modozie.

Danielson said he thought Modozie walked into the spike. CBS rules analyst Gene Steratore agreed with Danielson’s assessment.

“Terrible call. We’ve got warriors out there and they make a call like that. Stay out of the game,” Danielson said.

Army would go down the field and kick a field goal on their next drive. But Navy answered with a Horvath rushing touchdown. The Midshipmen then forced a turnover in the fourth quarter, which led to another field goal, and the game would be pretty much over from there.

Navy won the game 31-13.

Horvath was 4-of-9 passing for 107 yards and two passing touchdowns. He also ran for 204 yards and scored two touchdowns.

“I think they’re like us. We want to be significant,” Navy head coach Brian Newberry said of the win. “I think we both were this year, and I think because of that maybe there was a little more significance, a little more interest maybe in this game.”
