Illegal Alien Sends Two ICE Officers to Hospital After Attempt to Dangerously Evade Arrest

 

On, April 2, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers attempted to arrest an illegal alien with a final order of removal, but the illegal alien chose instead to dangerously evade arrest—endangering himself, law enforcement, and the general public.

On Thursday afternoon, ICE officers conducted a targeted operation to arrest Ever Omar Alvarenga-Rios, an illegal alien from Honduras with a final order of removal from a judge. Officers tried to conduct a vehicle stop, but instead of complying with law enforcement, this illegal alien drove recklessly through the streets of Baltimore.

The illegal alien slammed on his brakes, causing a multi-car pileup.  Alvarenga then attempted to flee on foot and continued to disobey law enforcement commands. ICE law enforcement followed their training and used the minimum amount of force necessary to make the arrest.  

Alvarenga and the two officers involved were transported to a local hospital for treatment including a concussion. Alvarenga remains in the hospital in ICE custody.

Obstructing law enforcement is a felony and a federal crime. 

“This illegal alien broke our laws, resisted arrest, sent two ICE law enforcement officers to the hospital, and endangered the general public. Thankfully both our officers are expected to make a full recovery,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “This dangerous attempt to resist arrest comes after sanctuary politicians have encouraged illegal aliens to evade arrest by hosting webinars instructing illegal aliens how to avoid being caught. Sanctuary politicians must stop encouraging this reckless behavior that endangers illegal aliens, our officers, and the public.”  

Alvarenga first entered the country in 2014 and was released under the Obama administration. In 2018, a federal immigration judged issued him a final order of removal. He had every chance to leave the United States but chose to continue to break the law and remain in the country illegally.

This avoidable incident comes after sanctuary politicians held webinars and provided resources and tips for how to openly defy ICE:

• Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hosted a webinar in February providing tips for illegal aliens to evade arrests at homes, workplaces, or in public.
• Dan Goldman posted an online video calling on illegal aliens to make a plan for ICE encounters.
• Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued multilingual flyers and online resources advising illegal aliens on how to evade arrest.
• California Governor Gavin Newsom released guides and sanctuary laws advising illegal aliens how to recognize ICE, block entry, and defy arrest.

ICE officers are now facing an 8,000% increase in death threats against them and a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them. We are once again calling on sanctuary politicians, agitators, and the media to turn the temperature down and stop calling for violence and resistance against ICE law enforcement.

DEA Hosts 30th National Prescription Drug Take Back Day On Saturday, April 25th

 

 The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will host the 30th National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at nearly 4,200 locations nationwide.

“Once again this is a great way to properly dispose of your unneeded, unwanted, or expired medications.” Every year, we collect tons of medications that would otherwise sit on a shelf, be thrown away, or flushed into our water systems.” 

Twice a year, DEA joins forces with local law enforcement and community groups to host DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, giving the public a safe and anonymous way to dispose of expired and unused prescription medications. By getting rid of unnecessary medications in the home, families can help prevent prescription drug misuse and reduce the potential for accidental poisonings. 

“Removing unused and expired medications from your home and disposing of them properly is a simple but powerful step in preventing prescription drug misuse,” said DEA Administrator Terrance Cole. “DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is a critical public safety initiative that we have hosted for 16 years. Its continued success is due, in large part, to our local and state law enforcement and community partners who continue to stand with us to make our communities safe.”

Since 2010, DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day has provided an easy and accessible way to dispose of medications that could pose a threat if misused. Over the past 16 years, National Prescription Take Back Day has removed more than 20 million pounds of unwanted medications from communities across the United States.                       

Opioids, such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, and morphine, are among the most misused prescription pain medications, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). 

DEA and its partners will collect tablets, capsules, patches, and other forms of prescription drugs. Liquid products, such as cough syrup, should be securely sealed in their original container. 

Syringes, sharps, or illicit drugs are not collected. To learn how to properly dispose of these items we encourage you to visit FDA.gov.

For those unable to participate in this month’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, there are more than 16,500 pharmacies, hospitals, and businesses that offer safe medication disposal year-round. In addition, many police departments also provide permanent drop boxes to ensure Every Day is Take Back Day.

Indian Illegal Alien Indicted After Leading Police on 100 MPH Chase, Causing Fatal Head-On Collision that Killed Pregnant 17-Year-Old and Her Unborn Child in Ohio

 

This criminal illegal alien was indicted on involuntary manslaughter and reckless homicide, among other charges, in relation to the February 16 fatal collision

Today, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged an arrest detainer with Ohio local authorities for a criminal illegal alien from India who was indicted on vehicular homicide, involuntary manslaughter, and reckless homicide charges after leading police on a high-speed chase that led to a crash that killed his pregnant 17-year-old passenger and her unborn child last month. He is currently held on a $1 million bond.

According to local reports, the February 16 fatal collision occurred while Singh fled from Ohio police at 100 mph on a 5-mile chase. Singh reportedly crashed head-on into a Jeep Cherokee, causing his 17-year-old pregnant passenger to be ejected from the vehicle and later pronounced deceased. Singh was taken to an area hospital for injuries and later arrested. The driver of the Jeep was reportedly injured, but conscious and alert.

“This is yet another tragic reminder of why illegal aliens should not be driving cars on America’s roads,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “A 17-year-old woman and her unborn child are now dead as a result of this illegal alien’s reckless actions. We have lodged an arrest detainer with Ohio authorities to ensure this illegal alien is never released and allowed back behind the wheel to put more innocent lives at risk.”

Singh entered the country illegally in February 2017 through the southern border in California and was arrested before being ordered released by a judge on bond.

TEXAS TERROR: ICE Asks Texas Authorities to Not Release Alien Who Brutally Murdered His Wife in Dallas

 

Francisco Mendez-Marin is accused of murdering his own wife less than a month after they were married

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued the following statement after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer asking Texas authorities to not release a criminal who was arrested for slitting his wife’s throat with a pocketknife in Dallas, Texas.

Francisco Mendez Marin, a 24-year-old alien from Mexico, was arrested on March 18 by Carrolton Police and currently faces a felony charge of homicide after he fatally slit his wife, 20-year-old Karla Rangel’s throat. According to local reports, the couple had been married for less than a month.

When confronted by officers, Mendez Marin had blood on his clothes and a bloody pocketknife on him.

“This depraved animal murdered his own wife just one month after they were married by brutally slitting her throat with a pocketknife. This illegal alien should have never been allowed into our country to commit this heinous murder,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “ICE requested authorities in Dallas to not release this cold-blooded killer onto the streets. Thankfully, Dallas politicians cooperate with ICE, so together we can ensure this murderer is NEVER loose in American communities.”

Francisco Mendez Marin

He is currently in the custody of the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office and being held in the Dallas County Jail.

Long Island Investment Advisor Pleads Guilty to $160 Million Investment Fraud

 

The Defendant Defrauded More than 300 Clients, Many of Whom Lost Their Life Savings

In federal court in Central Islip, Vincent Camarda, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of A.G. Morgan Financial Advisors, LLC (AGM), pleaded guilty to securities fraud and investment advisor fraud.  The proceeding was held before United States District Judge Nusrat J. Choudhury.  When sentenced, Camarda faces a maximum sentence of 20 years’ imprisonment, as well as restitution of at least $160,022,836.81 and forfeiture of $6,639,498.17.

Joseph Nocella, Jr., United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York and James C. Barnacle, Jr., Assistant Director in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office (FBI) announced the guilty plea.

“We will aggressively prosecute investment advisors who betray their clients’ trust and commit crimes for their own financial gain,” stated United States Attorney Nocella.  “This defendant used a series of lies to lure clients, including elderly and other vulnerable individuals, into investing with him, all while enriching himself. This guilty plea is an important step toward holding the defendant accountable for the substantial harm he has caused.”

Mr. Nocella expressed his appreciation to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), New York Regional Office, for their work on the case.

“CEO Vincent Camarda repeatedly deceived trusting clients to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars to finance extravagant purchases.  The FBI is committed to protecting investors from executives who abuse their authority to line their own pockets,” stated FBI Assistant Director in Charge Barnacle.

According to court filings and facts presented during the plea proceeding, the defendant Vincent Camarda was the Chairman and CEO of AGM.  At the time of his fraud, Camarda had worked in the securities industry for approximately 30 years.  He was a registered investment adviser with the SEC and also held licenses as a registered representative with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).  In or about and between January 2017 and December 2024, Camarda, together with others, established several investment funds under AGM (the “Camarda Funds”).  He then engaged in a scheme to defraud his victims – clients that he owed a fiduciary duty to – in several ways.  

First, Camarda solicited funds from the victims by making material misrepresentations, both in private placement memorandums and orally, regarding the investment of their funds.  For example, he made materially false representations regarding the risk profile of the investments.  Camarda falsely represented, in sum and substance, that investments in the Camarda Funds were “safe” or “low-risk,” when, in fact, they were not.  Camarda also misrepresented the diversification of the investments to induce the victims to invest.  These misrepresentations were designed to mislead investors into believing that their investments were safer than they actually were.  In addition, Camarda failed to disclose material conflicts of interest in connection with the investments made through the Camarda Funds.  For example, although Camarda invested the victims’ funds in a single mining business, Camarda never disclosed to the victims that he received compensation from that business.  Likewise, although Camarda invested the victims’ funds in a single food service business, Camarda did not disclose to the victims that he had a familial relationship with an individual involved in the business’s operation or that he served as the President of that business.

Separately, Camarda also misappropriated hundreds of thousands of dollars of the victims’ investments in the Camarda Funds and for his personal benefit.  Rather than investing those funds as promised, Camarda diverted them to himself through wire transfers.  Among other things, Camarda used these stolen funds to pay for personal expenses and luxury items, including plastic surgery, travel, jewelry and luxury goods.  For example, one victim wired over $700,000 to Camarda, who then, after investing approximately $370,000 in the high-risk mining operation, misappropriated the other approximately $400,000 for himself, using the money to, among other things, pay off personal credit card bills.
