An Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation in Houston led to the shooting death of a Mexican illegal alien who allegedly tried to run over officers.

Officers were performing a traffic stop as part of a “targeted enforcement operation to arrest an illegal alien” just before 7 a.m. at the intersection of Canal Street and Wayside Drive, according to an ICE spokesperson.

‘All available footage, communications, and other evidence should be preserved and reviewed as part of a full and impartial investigation.’

Rather than pull over, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo reportedly tried to escape in his vehicle and rammed into an ICE vehicle.

ICE said he then “weaponized” his vehicle and tried to run over an officer, who fired in self-defense.

Araujo was struck in the stomach and transported to a hospital, where he was later declared dead.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking into the incident, according to ICE, but the FBI said it was investigating the potential assault on a federal officer, not the man’s death.

Video reportedly from the incident shows Araujo groaning on the ground near a white van while officers attend to him.

Democratic Rep. Sylvia Garcia of Texas issued a statement about the incident on social media.

“ICE has released an initial account, but the facts must be independently and thoroughly investigated, including the circumstances that led to the use of deadly force,” she wrote.

“All available footage, communications, and other evidence should be preserved and reviewed as part of a full and impartial investigation,” she added. “The victim’s family, my constituents, and the entire community deserve a complete and transparent accounting of what happened.”

Houston City Council Member Alejandra Salinas also called for a “thorough and impartial investigation” into the circumstances of the lethal shooting.

One company believes biology should not limit who should be able to conceive children.

That same company says it has now made strides to turn that belief into a reality.

‘Yeah, I’m gay, and it’s something that got me so personally interested.’

Fertility company Conception announced last week that it accomplished what was, until recently, only possible with mice: creating early human egg cells.

“Biology limits who can have children and when,” Conception says on its website. “Egg supply declines and medical barriers can limit fertility entirely, as birthrates fall across the globe.”

To counteract this, Conception says, it has finally “generated the first early human eggs derived from stem cells.”

CEO Matt Krisiloff said that after a simple blood draw, his company converted blood cells into stem cells, and from there, “coaxed” those stem cells into becoming “miniature human ovaries containing the early eggs.”

Krisiloff has not hidden his intentions; in fact, he made them crystal clear during a 2023 interview with NPR. Inside the company profile, Krisiloff expressed that he is personally invested in being able to create babies for gay couples.

“My personal biggest interest in it is that it could allow same-sex couples to be able to have biological children together as well,” the CEO said. “Yeah, I’m gay, and it’s something that got me so personally interested in this in the first place.”

Conception calls its technology “in-vitro gametogenesis” and claims it is a “profound advance” in reproductive technology.

The recent announcement discusses the process, which comes from successful trials of making viable eggs from stem cells in mice back in 2016. Conception’s collaborative scientist, Katsuhiko Hayashi, reportedly demonstrated that skin cells in mice can be turned into stems cells capable of becoming any type of cell in the body, which in turn were used to create usable eggs.

“These eggs produced healthy [mouse] pups that lived normal lifespans and reproduced naturally, having healthy pups of their own,” Conception wrote.

While the process has been far easier to achieve in mice than in larger animals, the company said, the technology is still “worth pursuing” in humans.

No public information is available on what other animals Conception has tested on.

The company’s financial backing is available, though, and this includes investments from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Skype founder Jaan Tallinn, and Recursion Pharmaceuticals co-founder Blake Borgeson, who all contributed to a $20 million round in previous years.

Conception’s co-founders, Pablo Hurtado Gonzalez and Bianka Seres, also shared their views on the project. Hurtado Gonzalez said, “There is something intrinsic, sharing a life that is half me and half my husband.”

“I don’t have the capacity right now, and I am devoting my life to try to change that,” Hurtado Gonzalez added.

Seres also said the project is likely to be a “pretty big” deal around the world.

“And for individuals, I think it’s going to be life-changing,” she contributed.

A Democratic congressman in California reiterated his call to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement after a record high number of arrests was reported.

Border czar Tom Homan appeared on Fox News and lauded the historic number of arrests over the five-day period while talking about the effort to strip commercial licenses from illegal aliens.

Federal officials had been able to rescind over 28,000 commercial licenses that were being held by illegal aliens.

“In the last five days, ICE has arrested over 10,000 illegal aliens, which is a record for the agency,” Homan said to Fox host Dana Perino. “So we’re hitting on all cylinders. There’s just a lot of these people to find, but we are out there every day looking for them.”

He suggested that officials in states like New York were sheltering illegal aliens from these federal investigations.

“The problem is, we’re working very well with red states; in blue states it’s still a struggle, right? Places like New York, I mean, ICE and CBP can’t even get access to the DMV database!”

He added that federal officials had been able to rescind over 28,000 commercial licenses that were being held by illegal aliens since May 1.

In response, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) posted a statement on the X social media platform calling for ICE to be replaced.

“We cannot ignore their continued abuse and violation of human rights. It’s time to abolish ICE and replace it,” Khanna wrote in the post.

“These people being detained are being denied basic human rights,” Khanna said in a video attached to the post.

“I was at the California detention center. I saw someone with blood in his urine who was denied medical care,” he continued. “I saw rocks in the food. I saw people shivering because they didn’t have clothes. We need to stop funding ICE that’s violating human rights.”

Homan went on in the Fox interview to accuse sanctuary mayors and state governors of “normalizing” illegal immigration by allowing illegal aliens to have driver’s licenses.

Houston Police last week said they arrested a 34-year-old male after investigating multiple cases of disabled and homeless people who’d been shot with high-powered, motorized water guns.

Police said Christopher Cayce — after taunting his victims and posting videos of the incidents on social media — was charged with assault with bodily injury.

‘In my eyes this was harmless fun that we all enjoy at one point of life.’

“I’m totally a thousand percent sorry for this, and that’s not just saying this because I’m caught,” Cayce told KTRK-TV Friday.

Cayce — a “self-described comedian,” according to the station — since last summer had been recording videos of himself driving around the Houston area and ambushing people with water guns.

But he was arrested Thursday and charged with two counts of assault for spraying two men on June 4, KTRK said.

Many of his targets appeared to be homeless, and police said some of his victims were disabled, the station reported.

A KTRK reporter asked Cayce why he targeted “some of the city’s most vulnerable,” and he replied, “In my videos, I don’t just shoot homeless people.”

The station said that in one video he lures a woman to his car with money before spraying her in the face, and in another video he throws food at a man before shooting him with a water gun.

According to the Houston Chronicle, Cayce also took to Facebook to defend himself.

“I REALLY LOVE THESE PEOPLE I’M NOT A BAD PERSON,” he wrote Saturday alongside a video showing him handing food to people from the back of a pickup truck, the paper said, adding that Cayce’s post tagged the Houston Police Department.

“I feed these people,” Cayce told KTRK. “I gave these people $500 worth of clothes. I don’t post all my positive stuff ’cause it don’t get views. My channel algorithm was me shooting people with water guns.”

The Chronicle said Cayce in another post apologized for his “childish activities” but maintained he never intended to hurt anyone.

“For all the feelings I hurt I do sincerely apologize for my actions,” he wrote, the paper said. “In my eyes this was harmless fun that we all enjoy at one point of life.”

Cayce also argued that many of those condemning him online ignore the homeless in everyday life, the Chronicle said.

In the KTRK interview, Cayce held up a cross and said, “I just put this in front of the door. I walk and pray every day. Every time I go out, I pray before I go and shoot these people because I really don’t want to hurt nobody.”

“Believe it or not I keep God first,” Cayce also wrote on Facebook, the Chronicle said.

KTRK also pointed out that in one post, Cayce refers to his targets as “zombies,” but he told the station that “I’m not calling them zombies because that’s what they are. It’s all commentary for the content. It’s not what I really, truly mean. I love everybody genuinely.”

Cayce is set to appear in court Thursday, KTRK reported, and he also said he’s done with his water-gun exploits.

“They took all my water guns,” he added to the station. “You can go buy more easily, but I told them I’m done with it. I’m not gonna shoot nobody no more.”

As a growing number of democratic socialists win elections and progressive policies gain traction nationwide, BlazeTV host Pat Gray is incredibly concerned about the left’s plans for America’s future.

“They are doing their damnedest to ruin this country — just bring it completely down, because … it can’t be brought down from without. So they’re hell-bent on doing it from within,” he says.

Executive producer Keith Malinak agrees, pointing out that the new Equality Act the left is pushing is essentially the same thing as the Civil Rights Act.

“It will take the Civil Rights Act and say, ‘Hey, guess what, trans people get all those rights, too. And you have no choice,’” Malinak explains.

“They’ve got their own problems in the party because they’re being taken over by communists and they don’t even care,” Gray chimes in.

“In fact, some of them are in love with it,” he says, explaining that radical democratic socialists have been winning elections across the country.

“We had a 29-year-old Ethiopian-born socialist in Colorado who just defeated a 30-year congresswoman. She’s been elected 15 times, and now a 29-year-old Ethiopian who’s a socialist just beat her,” he explains, pointing out that this particular congresswoman, Melat Kiros, has claimed America deserved 9/11.

Kiros also “wants all illegals who are here to just be granted immunity and amnesty and citizenship.”

“And she wants to abolish ICE. And she was elected,” Gray says.

A Democrat who ran for governor in Florida a few years ago is facing criminal allegations once again, this time in Alabama.

Andrew Demetric Gillum was pulled over for erratic driving and found to be in possession of methamphetamines and other drug paraphernalia, according to the Daphne Police Department.

A probable cause search of the car … allegedly led to the seizure of three packages of methamphetamines.

Gillum was the Democratic candidate for Florida governor in 2018, when he narrowly lost to Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) by just 33,000 votes, less than 1% of the vote.

On Thursday, Gillum was handcuffed and booked into the Daphne City Jail in Alabama.

Police claimed the 46-year-old was pulled over on U.S. Highway 98 near North Main Street at about 10:45 p.m. before an officer noticed a glass pipe on the center console.

That prompted a probable cause search of the car that allegedly led to the seizure of three packages of methamphetamines as well as the discovery of several rolled marijuana cigarettes.

Gillum was charged with one count of possession of dangerous drugs, possession of marijuana, and drug paraphernalia possession, according to jail records.

He was transferred from the city jail to the Baldwin County Correctional Facility in Alabama.

Gillum had a previous brush with the law involving methamphetamine allegations when he was found to be so inebriated at the 2020 scene of an overdose that police were unable to communicate with him.

“Inside of the hotel room, officers observed in plain sight three small clear plastic baggies containing suspected crystal meth on both the bed and floor of the hotel room,” a police incident report stated.

RELATED: Karen Bass makes bizarre promise to meth addicts with rotting teeth: ‘You can’t succeed without teeth!’

He left the scene and later claimed in a statement that he had gone to a wedding celebration and had too much to drink. He also denied partaking in methamphetamines.

The man who had overdosed in the hotel room identified himself as an escort online. Gillum revealed that he identified as bisexual after the incident.

Gillum later said that he cried every day since the incident, where a photo showed him naked on the floor of the hotel.

“That was not anything more than a person being at their most vulnerable state,” he said. “Unconscious, having given no consent and someone decided to use a moment where I was literally laying in my own vomit.”

Gillum was also charged with nearly two dozen counts of wire fraud in 2022 but was acquitted of all charges.

Prosecutors must convince state District Judge Tony Graf over the course of this week’s five-day preliminary hearing that they have sufficient evidence for him to try Charlie Kirk’s suspected assassin, Tyler Robinson, for aggravated murder.

They have so far given Graf plenty to work with — and given the defense a great deal of explaining to do.

‘The shoes are the same, and from my viewing and seeing Mr. Robinson on the video, it’s the same person,’ an investigator said.

Graf heard on Monday about: Robinson’s alleged “sniper pad” on the roof of the Losee Center building, which overlooks the site at Utah Valley University where Kirk was fatally shot; the discovery of a red-and-black screwdriver at the “crime scene” that FBI Director Kash Patel previously alleged had Robinson’s DNA on it; and the events immediately surrounding the shooting. The judge also saw — and was literally moved by — graphic footage of Kirk’s murder.

The footage shown in court on Tuesday — which the defense wanted suppressed — was especially damning.

David Hull, a former Utah State Bureau of Investigation special agent who led the probe in the assassination, walked the court through a compilation of CCTV footage that he said shows Robinson’s movements on Sept. 10.

According to Hull, the clips allegedly show Robinson:

driving into a parking garage, parking, then walking off — wearing a backpack and dressed in Converse shoes, a ball cap, shorts, and a maroon T-shirt — to the university’s quad area, where he allegedly made contact with representatives from Turning Point USA before returning to his car and driving off;wearing the same outfit, returning to the campus on foot, and walking to a fast-food restaurant on the northeast side of the area where Kirk was ultimately shot;walk after his meal into a wooded area on campus, then return wearing a new set of clothes, no longer carrying a backpack and now limping with a visibly stiff right leg and apparent hip-level bulge toward “the railing that gives access to the roof of the Losee building”;ascending the staircase that affords scalers access to the Losee building rooftop just minutes before Kirk was shot — then rolling over the railing onto the rooftop;no longer limping but running along the rooftop of the Losee building “to what would be the southwest corner of the building,” then crawling over to the apparent shooting position, where he was prone at 12:23:28 p.m., when a Utah Valley University police officer stated over his radio, “Alpha 34, we have shots fired. Charlie Kirk is down”; and running to the edge of the Losee building’s rooftop, then dropping down onto a grassy area, then fleeing the scene with “some kind of object” in his hand.

“The shoes are the same, and from my viewing and seeing Mr. Robinson on the video, it’s the same person,” Hull said when asked about the suspect in the footage following his pre-shooting wardrobe change.

While Hull acknowledged in court that the surveillance footage of the suspect on the rooftop did not reveal any distinguishing facial features, the videos nevertheless provide a potentially convincing account of Robinson’s movements on campus the day of the shooting.

The prosecution also showed footage of an encounter near Campus Drive between Tyler Robinson and a Spanish Fork police officer early on Sept. 11, the day after the assassination. This gave the officer pause and prompted him to make a note of the license plate number.

Once Hull learned of the encounter by Spanish Fork police and noted that the car involved matched the description of a car believed to be involved in the Kirk assassination, he ran the license plate. It was then he learned that the car was registered to Tyler Robinson and his mother, Amber.

The clips, along with enhanced versions with circled highlights, zooming, and other slight tweaks intended to help viewers understand what they were seeing, were admitted as evidence.

The Supreme Court ruled last week to uphold birthright citizenship — and BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler is horrified, calling it not only “one of the most devastating Supreme Court rulings of our lifetime,” but a “Chinese communist plot to subvert our elections.”

“One million Chinese communists will soon be eligible U.S. voters. You heard me. One million Chinese citizens — and if you’re a Chinese citizen, you’ve been indoctrinated in communism,” she explains.

“One million Chinese citizens who are communists, who’ve been indoctrinated to hate the United States and live in China, will soon be able to cast their ballot for your elected officials. Because the Chinese … they pay surrogates in the United States to birth their babies on U.S. soil,” she continues.

“So, they send their sperm to the United States. They buy an egg from an American, or they send an egg with them. They have a surrogate carry the baby, give birth on U.S. soil. That baby is now a U.S. citizen because he or she was born on U.S. soil,” she adds.

Or, she points out, wealthy Chinese will get pregnant and come to the United States to “visit to vacation.”

“They give birth to their child on U.S. soil, which makes the child a U.S. citizen. They then take the babies, whether born of surrogates or born of birth tourism, back to China, indoctrinate them into communists because that’s what happens in China,” she says.

Those children then turn 18 and are “deployed to vote in our elections.”

“And when I say deployed to vote in our elections, they don’t even have to come here. They can vote mail-in ballots. They can vote absentee. Their ballot can quite literally be mailed to them in China,” Wheeler explains.

“They can fill it out to vote for your president, send it back, and it can sway the outcome of our elections. This is not hypothetical,” she continues, pointing out that the first round of these Chinese communist U.S. citizens are about to turn 18.

“The first of these will be voting in our elections as early as 2028,” she says. “That’s right, the next presidential election.”

Players on the Belgian soccer team celebrated their crushing victory over the United States men’s national team on Monday night by mocking President Donald Trump’s famous dance.

Belgium took control of the game in Seattle, Washington, early on and did not let up. After a few key mistakes by the American team, Belgium skated easily to a 4-1 victory.

Videos on social media show them gesturing and laughing.

The game was also politicized in the days leading up to the game when Trump told reporters he had called the FIFA president to request a review of a red-card penalty in a previous game that led to the suspension of one of the best U.S. players.

When FIFA reversed the decision and allowed the player to compete against Belgium, critics accused the U.S. of abusing its political power to gain an unfair advantage.

Belgian players responded by doing the “Trump dance” on the field after scoring a fourth goal in the second half. Videos on social media show them gesturing and laughing.

The official account for the team also joined in by posting the message, “Overturn this,” in reference to the red-card controversy. After the game, the Belgians continued their mockery in the locker room by doing Trump’s signature dance.

Athletes in the U.S. have sometimes danced in the Trump manner, which sometimes led to criticism from Trump opponents.

The American team was the last of the three host countries to be knocked out of the round-of-16, with Mexico falling to England and Canada falling to Morocco.

Despite the unceremonious exit of the American team, the World Cup matches in North America have been a great success for FIFA and the host countries. The U.S. has been greatly praised by visitors posting viral content on social media about their experiences with American culture and hospitality.

Belgium will go on to play Spain in the World Cup quarterfinals.

The price of oil has fallen to pre-conflict levels after more than four months of a damaging surge from the conflict with Iran.

On Friday, Brent Crude oil traded at about $72 and has fallen farther to $70 on Tuesday, just below the $72 mark before the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran commenced in late February.

‘We’re either going to make a deal, or we’re going to finish the job. It won’t be tough to finish the job.’

President Donald Trump faced some criticism after gas prices spiked from the Strait of Hormuz shutting down. In recent weeks he has been working on a peace agreement to open up traffic in the pivotal trade route.

Oil prices spiked slightly on Monday after a strike was reported on a tanker from Qatar by Iranian forces, but the price recovered by the next day.

The cause was further aided by a sharp cut in pricing by Saudi Arabia, a key member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.

“Weak Asian demand, especially from China, together with the sanctions waiver on Iranian crude, has intensified competition among sellers and shifted the market in buyers’ favor,” said energy analyst Emma Li to Reuters.

On Monday, Trump warned that the U.S. would renew the military conflict if Iran could not agree to a peace agreement soon.

“We’re either going to make a deal, or we’re going to finish the job. It won’t be tough to finish the job,” he said to reporters at the White House.

About a fifth of global oil supplies flow through the Strait of Hormuz.

RELATED: Oil industry warns Trump about gas price SHOCK coming soon

“The situation around the Strait of Hormuz remains unsettled. But as we have argued since March, both sides should ultimately have an interest in containing the conflict,” said Berenberg chief economist Holger Schmieding.

He went on to say the president needed oil prices to drop before the midterms, while the Iranian regime needs the income from potential sanctions relief.

It’s quite normal for basketball fans to point fingers at each other and tell them exactly how they feel.

Now, fans can back those comments up with some cold, hard statistics as data has come out showing which team’s fan base is the most hardcore, but only in the worst ways.

‘I cannot in good conscience contribute monetarily to this garbage.’

According to data from Action Network, the numbers are rather clear as to which group of NBA fans love making the most curse-filled and negative comments online.

The outlet analyzed over 1.6 million comments from NBA fan pages on the hyperactive forum site Reddit and found that in its two negative categories, Philadelphia 76ers fans were by far the worst of any NBA franchise.

More than 10.5% of 76ers fans’ comments contained swear words, almost 2 points higher than the second- and third-most mouthy fan bases (Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks fans), and were the only team to break the 10% barrier.

As if that weren’t enough, 76ers fans were also labeled the most negative group of supporters, with a whopping 31.67% of their comments carrying a negative tone. The Rockets’ fans were again second, and the Orlando Magic fan base was third.

This data tracks with the 76ers fans, who, at the time of this writing, had popular posts circulating like, “The misery never ends.”

One fan shared an email — allegedly sent to a 76ers team rep — expressing how much the fan thinks the team stinks and how the fan would never put money into the owner’s pocket for this “laughing stock” of a team.

“I would never put my hard earned dollars in the pocket of [owner Josh Harris]. … I cannot in good conscience contribute monetarily to this garbage,” the fan wrote.

At the same time, fans reposted a popular 2024 meme featuring 76ers player Kelly Oubre, which shows him calling several people a “bitch” during an altercation with the Los Angeles Clippers.

“An analysis of over 1.6 million fan comments from the subreddits of all 30 NBA fandoms from the last 12 months found the Philadelphia 76ers to be both the most foul-mouthed NBA fandom” and “the most negative fandom,” an Action Network spokesman told Fearless.

A team that has slowly degraded its nicknames from the Answer to the Process to the FEDS over the years certainly lives up to the data in real life, too, not just online.

Popular YouTube channel Snapback Live said, “Sixers fans boo everything,” which appears to be true given the sheer quantity of videos showing the team’s supporters booing former player Ben Simmons in city streets.

There even exists video of a senior citizen 76ers fan telling rapper Lil Baby his team was “gonna kick your ass” while sitting courtside. Sixers fans not only start heckling at a very young age, but they are also willing to have it out with NBA greats like Kevin Durant.

Philly fans’ ornery reputation goes back more than a half-century as they notoriously once booed and threw snowballs at Santa Claus during halftime at an Eagles game in December of 1968.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the fans of the Utah Jazz turned out to be the most polite NBA fans, with only 5.2% of their comments online containing swear words — less than half the percentage for 76ers fans.

Jazz fans were also determined to be the most positive NBA fandom, with almost 53% of their comments carrying a positive tone, one of only four teams to have more positive comments than negative. This included Brooklyn Nets fans (51.87%), Washington Wizards fans (50.80%), and Indiana Pacers fans (50.07%).
