With shelter arrests on pace to soar 64% this year, a bipartisan group of pols is demanding Mayor Adams immediately boot migrant gang members “as a matter of urgent public safety.”

The push comes as the city grapples with a baby-faced pack of violent migrant gang-bangers targeting locals and tourists in armed heists in Midtown.

High-profile crimes allegedly committed by migrants include thugs who beat up two NYPD officers in Times Square, and the fatal stabbing of a 24-year-old migrant at a city shelter on Randall’s Island.

Investigators allege a man killed a woman and kept her body inside a suitcase in a structure he built at a Seattle homeless encampment.

Prosecutors charged Steven Thanh Nguyen, 57, with one count of second-degree murder for killing Shannon Marie Reeder, according to charging documents filed in King County Superior Court on Wednesday.

“The defendant appears to have murdered the victim with an axe or other sharp object, stashed her body inside a suitcase for weeks, and abandoned the victim’s remains to be bulldozed by a cleaning crew,” Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Thomas O’Ban wrote in charging papers.

A 16-year-old and 18-year-old accused of committing nearly 80 armed robberies around King County have officially been charged.

Seattle city leaders announced on Friday, Oct. 11, that four male teens were arrested in connection to a crime spree consisting of at least 78 cases. They were allegedly involved in multiple armed robberies, shootings, carjackings, and other violent incidents, with 22 of them happening in Seattle alone.

The teens are aged 18, 15, and two were 16. Investigators said the ringleader of the criminal gang was so emboldened he asked police to book him quickly so that he could be out of jail by the weekend.

More than a whopping 7 million viewers tuned in to Fox News Channel for its highly-anticipated interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.

Wednesday's installment of "Special Report with Bret Baier" was watched by 7.1 million total viewers with 882,000 in the advertiser-coveted 25-54 age demo, according to Nielsen Media Research, making it the most-watched interview of the 2024 election season.

The Fox News interview trounced CBS News' "60 Minutes" primetime special featuring both Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, which averaged just 5.7 million viewers. It also surpassed CNN's joint interview with Harris and Walz, their first interview ever as the Democratic nominees, which drew only 6.3 million viewers.

A soft-on-crime Seattle judge, King County Superior Court Judge Johanna Bender, recently lashed out at the media for daring to criticize her reckless decisions. This comes after she offered sympathy—not to the victim’s grieving family—but to the family of an accused murderer. If anything, her comments are a reminder that she deserves even more media scrutiny, not less.

The Renton Police Department (RPD) and the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office (KCPAO) said 20-year-old K’Shawn Jimerson attacked 65-year-old military veteran Michael Grey from behind with a broomstick before fatally stabbing him twice with a kitchen knife. Jimerson claimed self-defense, but surveillance footage showed him to be the aggressor.

A scandal-ridden mayor of an Illinois village announced that she was running for re-election.

Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard, who is embroiled in multiple lawsuits and accusations, announced on Tuesday in a Facebook post that she will be seeking re-election as mayor of the 21,000-person village.

“It’s time to be the change that is needed for the South Land,” she wrote.

Henyard, who describes herself as “the most powerful woman in the Southland of Chicago,” has served as Dolton mayor since 2021 and Thornton Township supervisor since 2022.

The announcement comes as Henyard faces accusations of mishandling the village’s finances — and calls to resign.

The FBI quietly revised the U.S. crime statistics to show an increase in violent crime.

An investigation by RealClearInvestigations found that the FBI updated its 2022 crime statistics in September, showing that rather than a 2.1% drop in violent crime as originally reported, the United States actually experienced a 4.5% rise in violent crime. The new dataset showed thousands more murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults.

The more than 6 percentage point change is unprecedented in recent FBI statistic reporting, William & Mary professor Carl Moody told the outlet.

“I have checked the data on total violent crime from 2004 to 2022,” he said. “There were no revisions from 2004 to 2015, and from 2016 to 2020, there were small changes of less than one percentage point. The huge changes in 2021 and 2022, especially without an explanation, make it difficult to trust the FBI data.”

Authorities in Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington, are investigating incidents of arson targeting ballot boxes, which have destroyed hundreds of ballots just days before Election Day. The FBI has launched a probe into the attacks, which also include a related case involving incendiary devices in Phoenix, Arizona. These incidents highlight growing security concerns as early voting progresses. However, despite media narratives pointing towards right-wing interference, the proximity to Portland, a hub for left-wing activism, suggests otherwise. Critics argue that media framing risks undermining trust in election integrity by prematurely attributing blame. County officials in Vancouver are now deploying staff to monitor drop boxes 24/7 to prevent further disruption. As states grapple with mail-in voting and ballot drop boxes, these events emphasize the urgent need for secure voting systems amid contentious political climates.

The oil company Phillips 66 announced Wednesday that it is closing its Los Angeles-area refinery by the end of 2025, pointing to concerns about the future market.

The announcement comes days after California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a new law on Monday that will set new regulations on the oil industry in the Golden State.

"With the long-term sustainability of our Los Angeles Refinery uncertain and affected by market dynamics, we are working with leading land development firms to evaluate the future use of our unique and strategically located properties near the Port of Los Angeles," Mark Lashier, chairman and CEO of Phillips 66, said in a statement. "Phillips 66 remains committed to serving California and will continue to take the necessary steps to meet our commercial and customer demands."

Lashier did not mention the new law signed by Newsom

A dangerous Venezuelan gang has taken over at least four apartment complexes in San Antonio, Texas, as it expands its reach in yet another America city, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Dubbed the 'epitome of evil', Tren de Aragua (TdA) is known to run drug smuggling, child prostitution and human trafficking rings in South America, with its members crossing over into the US in recent years amid a wave of Venezuelan migrants.

The tattooed mobsters have since unleashed a wave of crime across the country from Miami and Texas to Denver and New York.
