  • Mexican Security Chief Confirms Cartel Family Members Crossed Into U.S. As Part of Deal with Trump Administration

    Mexican Security Chief Confirms Cartel Family Members Crossed Into U.S. As Part of Deal with Trump Administration

    On Tuesday, a Mexican security official revealed that 17 relatives of cartel leaders made their way into the U.S. last week. This move was part of an agreement involving a son of the former Sinaloa Cartel chief and the Trump administration, per AP News.

    Omar García Harfuch, the Mexican Security Secretary, confirmed a report by independent journalist Luis Chaparro regarding the entrance of family members of Ovidio Guzman Lopez, who was extradited to the U.S. in 2023. During a radio interview, García Harfuch indicated that it was evident to Mexican authorities that this occurred following negotiations between Guzmán López and the U.S. government.

    Guzmán Lopez is among the brothers who are currently managing a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel following the imprisonment of the infamous Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán in the United States. Footage showed the family members crossing the border from Tijuana with their luggage, approaching U.S. agents awaiting them.

    Last week, there were speculations that the younger Guzmán would enter a guilty plea to avoid facing trial on multiple drug trafficking charges in the U.S. after his extradition in 2023. García Harfuch believed this was the case because the former cartel leader, whose lawyer mentioned in January that discussions with U.S. authorities had started, seemed to be accusing members of other criminal organizations as part of a cooperation deal. 

    García Harfuch stated that none of the family members were being sought by Mexican authorities and emphasized that the U.S. government under President Donald Trump “needs to share information” with Mexican prosecutors, which has not yet occurred. His confirmation coincided with the U.S. Attorney General’s Office announcing charges against several top cartel leaders for “narcoterrorism,” marking the first time this has happened since the Trump administration designated certain cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

  • Woman Arrested for Allegedly Stopping Her Car to Set Sleeping Homeless Woman on Fire

    Woman Arrested for Allegedly Stopping Her Car to Set Sleeping Homeless Woman on Fire

    A disturbed woman has been arrested for allegedly setting a homeless woman on fire, as reported by the NY Post. The victim suffered severe burns that she needed to be intubated and was unable to identify her attacker for several weeks, according to police.

    Chilling surveillance footage released on Wednesday shows a car making a U-turn before stopping next to a 49-year-old woman who was sleeping on a street in Sacramento on April 26.

    The driver then gets out calmly, carrying a canister, and approaches the sleeping woman. She then pours an unknown liquid over her, as shown in the video. In an instant, the woman erupts into flames. 

    The driver then seems to have a confrontation with someone before quickly returning to her car and fleeing the scene. The victim sustained severe burns to about one-third of her body, including her face, torso, arms, and back. She was intubated at a local hospital for over two weeks, reports note. The woman recovered enough to speak with investigators on Tuesday and reportedly identified her attacker as 34-year-old #JacquelinePopaibarra, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office. The victim’s name has not been disclosed.

    The sheriff’s office stated that both women knew each other but did not provide details about what might have motivated the brutal attack. According to the sheriff’s office, Popaibarra, who is not homeless, even kicked the burning victim before fleeing the scene.

    Popaibarra was already in the custody of the Sacramento Police Department on an unrelated robbery charge when she was identified as the suspect in the arson case. She has since been charged with assault with a deadly weapon, arson causing great bodily injury, and mayhem, with her bail set at $450,000.

  • Teen Accused of Strangling 14-Year-Old Girlfriend and Dumping Body in River After She Announced Pregnancy

    Teen Accused of Strangling 14-Year-Old Girlfriend and Dumping Body in River After She Announced Pregnancy

    A teenager from Upstate New York has been charged with murdering his 14-year-old girlfriend because she was pregnant with their child, and he “wanted nothing to do with her baby,” prosecutors stated per the NY Post. 

    Now 17, the teen was charged with second-degree murder more than two years after his former girlfriend, Samantha Humphrey, was removed from the Mohawk River, per an indictment made public on Wednesday. Humphrey, who was from Schenectady, had been missing for three months before her body was discovered in the river, having been strangled before being dumped.

    The suspect, whose identity has not been revealed due to his age, acknowledged being with her on the night of her disappearance and having an argument, as reported by Humphrey’s mother, Jaclyn, to CBS6 at the time. “We believe that Samantha thought she was pregnant and that this sometime boyfriend was the father,” Schenectady County District Attorney Robert M. Carney told a news conference Wednesday.

    “He wanted nothing to do with her baby and insisted she got rid of it,” the DA said.

    The teenager was charged with theft in addition to the second-degree murder of Humphrey, according to the indictment. As a juvenile, he faces a maximum sentence of 15 years to life, which is less than the 25 years to life he would receive if charged as an adult. He pleaded not guilty in Schenectady County Court on Wednesday and has been placed in a juvenile detention center.

    Humphrey was last seen alive on November 25, 2022, wearing a black and pink puffy jacket, bell-bottom jeans, and tan Timberland boots. Her cell phone and a jacket matching her description from the night she went missing were found within the first week of her disappearance.

    Ma, who was named San Diego County’s Teacher of the Year in late 2022, was arrested in April 2023 and pleaded guilty in February to multiple charges, including forcible lewd acts on a child and possession of materials depicting minors in sexual situations. 

    The former educator worked with fifth- and sixth-graders at Lincoln Acres Elementary School in National City. During her sentencing, Ma expressed that she felt “deeply ashamed of my actions” and apologized for taking “away their childhood.”

Prosecutors revealed that this grooming lasted for a span of 10 months. Additionally, police have indicated that Ma had previously groomed an 11-year-old boy years earlier.

    A college student from Georgia, who has been in the U.S. since she was 4, has been taken into ICE custody and is now at risk of deportation, all due to a wrong turn, according to Huff Post.

    Ximena Arias-Cristobal, 19, a student at Dalton State College, was pulled over by police in Dalton on Monday for turning right despite a “no turn on red” sign, as detailed in a police report obtained by HuffPost. Arias-Cristobal informed the officers that she had an international driver’s license, but she did not have it on her at that time. As a result, the police arrested her for driving without a valid driver’s license and for making an illegal right turn on red.

    A representative from the Dalton Police Department explained to HuffPost that officers must arrest anyone driving without a license and do not have the discretion to overlook that violation. After her arrest, Arias-Cristobal was taken to Whitfield County Jail. Arias-Cristobal’s family shared with ABC affiliate WTCV that the young woman is currently being held at Stewart Detention Center alongside her father, Jose Francisco Arias-Tovar.

  • Mother Allegedly ‘Tried to Run Over Group of Elementary Students’ After They Fled from a Fight, Police Say

    Mother Allegedly ‘Tried to Run Over Group of Elementary Students’ After They Fled from a Fight, Police Say

    A Louisiana mother is accused of bringing several children to a local school to engage in “fight other kids” before she allegedly “tried to run over a group of elementary students with her car,” per Law & Crime. 

    Lejonkica Sharp, 23, was arrested last week and charged with six counts of aggravated assault related to the incident. A news release from the Shreveport Police Department stated that the events occurred around 8 a.m. on Tuesday, April 29, at an elementary school located approximately 350 miles northwest of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

    “Officers were called to Pine Grove Elementary after a parent reportedly dropped off kids to fight other kids … then tried to run over a group of elementary students with her car when things didn’t go her way,” the statement said. Another parent present at the school during the incident called 911. 

    The children allegedly hopped out of Sharp’s car intending to confront the caller’s elementary school-aged children. The caller explained that when her children ran away on foot, Sharp attempted to run them over. At least one of the children Sharp brought to the school was her own, according to Shreveport CBS affiliate KSLA. Investigators stated that when they reached out to Sharp, she claimed the caller’s children had been “throwing rocks at her car.” However, they reviewed surveillance footage from the school that presented a very different account of events.

    “Footage clearly showed Sharp deliberately trying to hit six children with her vehicle,” the release states. Authorities took Sharp into custody on May 1. “If you think the solution to kid drama is vehicular assault — we’ve got a spot for you, and it’s not in the carpool line. Do better, parents. Seriously,” the police department posted to its official Facebook page.
