Trump admin files first racketeering charges against massive migrant terrorist group present in U.S.
The first RICO racketeering charges against members and associates of the migrant terrorist group Tren de Aragua were filed this week in New York.
A statement by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York said that the case is part of «Operation Take Back America,» which it said is a «nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Justice Department to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.»
According to the statement, the charges filed against 27 alleged current and former Tren de Aragua (TdA) members include human smuggling, sex trafficking and murder.
«Today, we have filed charges against 27 alleged members, former members, and associates of Tren de Aragua, for committing murders and shootings, forcing young women trafficked from Venezuela into commercial sex work, robbing and extorting small businesses, and selling ‘tusi,’ a pink powdery drug that has become their calling card,» announced Matthew Podolsky, the Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

Podolsky said that the indictments «make clear that this Office will work tirelessly to keep the law-abiding residents of New York City safe, and hold accountable those who bring violence to our streets.»
The charges were filed in two separate indictments, the first against six alleged current members of Tren de Aragua and the second against 21 alleged members and associates of a splinter gang known as «Anti-Tren,» which consists of former TdA members.
The Trump State Department has designated Tren de Aragua, as well as several other migrant gangs present throughout the U.S., as foreign terrorist organizations.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York said that 21 of the 27 alleged gang members and associates are currently in federal custody. The statement said that 16 were already in federal criminal, immigration, or state custody and five were arrested over the last couple of days.

Charges include racketeering, sex trafficking, alien importation, drug trafficking and carjacking conspiracy, robbery, illegal firearms possession and use and extortion.

Among the most egregious of the charges included in the indictments are the smuggling of «multadas» – indentured sex workers – from Venezuela into Peru and the U.S. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office statement, both TdA and Anti-Tren operate keep the multadas trapped in a life of sex slavery by threatening to kill them and their families and by assaulting, shooting and killing them and tracking down those who attempted to flee.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi commented on the RICO charges, saying: «Today’s indictments and arrests span three states and will devastate TdA’s infrastructure as we work to completely dismantle and purge this organization from our country.»

«Tren de Aragua is not just a street gang,» said Bondi. «It is a highly structured terrorist organization that has destroyed American families with brutal violence, engaged in human trafficking, and spread deadly drugs through our communities.»
New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch also praised the operations, saying that «for the first time ever, TdA is being named and charged as the criminal enterprise that it is.»

«This gang has shown zero regard for the safety of New Yorkers,» said Tisch. «As alleged in the indictment, these defendants wreaked havoc in our communities, trafficking women for sexual exploitation, flooding our streets with drugs, and committing violent crimes with illegal guns. Thanks to the dedicated members of the NYPD and the important work of our federal partners, their time is up.»
The U.S. Attorney’s Office statement also mentioned that this case received significant support from Joint Task Force Vulcan, a collection of U.S. attorneys’ offices and law enforcement agencies that was created in 2019 to eradicate the Salvadoran gang MS-13 and has now expanded to target Tren de Aragua.

Hillary Clinton fires up voters against Trump’s White House ballroom construction: ‘Not his house»

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently made it known she is no fan of President Donald Trump’s project to construct a ballroom at the White House in an appeal to voters, telling them that 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. is their «house.»
«It’s not his house,» Clinton wrote on X Tuesday morning. «It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.»
The social media post included a screenshot of The Washington Post’s report, «White House begins demolishing East Wing Facade to build Trump’s ballroom,» accompanied by a photo of a demolition crew.
«President Trump is working 24/7 to Make America Great Again, including his historic beautification of the White House, at no taxpayer expense,» White House spokesman Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital when asked about Clinton’s post and other Democrats criticizing the ballroom construction. «These long-needed upgrades will benefit generations of future presidents and American visitors to the People’s House.»

Trump announced Monday that construction had begun on the ballroom, following months of the president floating the planned project to modernize the White House. The project does not cost taxpayers and is privately funded, the White House reported.
«I am pleased to announce that ground has been broken on the White House grounds to build the new, big, beautiful White House Ballroom,» Trump said on Truth Social. «Completely separate from the White House itself, the East Wing is being fully modernized as part of this process, and will be more beautiful than ever when it is complete!»
«For more than 150 years, every President has dreamt about having a Ballroom at the White House to accommodate people for grand parties, State Visits, etc. I am honored to be the first President to finally get this much-needed project underway — with zero cost to the American Taxpayer!» he continued. «The White House Ballroom is being privately funded by many generous Patriots, Great American Companies, and, yours truly. This Ballroom will be happily used for Generations to come!»

The privately funded project will cost an estimated $200 million, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the media in July. The 90,000-square-foot ballroom will accommodate approximately 650 seated guests, according to the White House.
«The White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders in other countries without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main building’s entrance,» Leavitt said back in July, adding the new ballroom will be «a much needed and exquisite addition.»

«I wanted to share this photo of my family standing by a historic part of the White House that was just torn down today by Trump,» Kim posted to X on Monday. «We didn’t need a billionaire-funded ballroom to celebrate America. Disgusting what Trump is doing.»

«Oh you’re trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing? Donald Trump can’t hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom,» Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren posted to X on Monday.

The ballroom construction follows Trump installing two massive 88-foot-tall American flags on either side of the White House this summer in a patriotic endeavor that did not cost U.S. taxpayers a cent, as well as an overhaul to the White House Rose Garden.

Ejercicios para fortalecer pies y tobillos: la base para moverse mejor a cualquier edad

Mejorar la salud de pies y tobillos puede favorecer todo tipo de actividades dijo Irene Davis, profesora de fisioterapia de la Universidad de Florida del Sur y expresidenta del Colegio Estadounidense de Medicina del Deporte. “El pie es la primera parte del cuerpo que entra en contacto con el suelo”, por lo que es muy importante que sea estable y resistente mientras caminas, corres y saltas.
Jay Hertel considera la velocidad al caminar un signo vital en los pacientes de edad avanzada. “Todo lo que se pueda hacer para ayudar a mantener una velocidad cómoda al caminar va a tener beneficios para la salud”, declaró, y eso empieza por la salud de los pies y los tobillos.

La secuencia que sigue, diseñada por Hertel y Davis, puede ser beneficiosa para las personas activas, las que padecen lesiones o dolor en la parte inferior del cuerpo y cualquier otra persona que desee mantener la movilidad general a medida que envejece. Davis añadió que los ejercicios son “importantes para toda la cadena, no solo para el pie o el tobillo”.
Realizar los ejercicios descalzo ayuda a activar más músculos de pies y tobillos. “Cuanto más tiempo pases descalzo, más fuertes se volverán”. “Para algunas personas es contraintuitivo, pero si desarrollás unos pies fuertes, ayudará mucho a tus tobillos”.
Caminar o ejercitarse descalzo activa músculos que suelen pasar desapercibidos y fortalece la base del equilibrio corporal. (Foto: Freepik).

Vance warns Hamas as Gaza peace plan’s Civilian Military Cooperation Center opens

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Vice President JD Vance issued a warning to Hamas on Tuesday while speaking to reporters at the new Civilian Military Cooperation Center (CMCC), which plays a critical role in the historic ceasefire deal.
«The terms of the 20 point plan that the president put out there is very clear. It’s supported not just by Israel, by, but by all of our Gulf Arab friends. It’s that Hamas has to disarm. It’s that Hamas has to actually behave itself and that Hamas, while all the fighters can be given some sort of clemency, they’re not going to be able to kill each other, and they’re not going to be able to kill their fellow Palestinians,» Vance said.
«Right now, where I stand, I feel confident that we’re going to be in a place where this peace lasts, where it’s durable, and if Hamas doesn’t cooperate, then, as the United States has said, Hamas is going to be obliterated,» Vance added.

The vice president’s warning came after President Donald Trump issued one of his own, saying that if Hamas did not act in accordance with the agreement, the terror organization’s end would be «fast, furious and brutal.»
During a meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Monday, Trump said that Hamas would be eradicated if it did not hold up its end of the deal. The president issued similar warnings since the peace deal went into effect last week.
In addition to his warning to Hamas, Vance scolded the media over its apparent «desire to root for failure,» saying that any setbacks or hiccups did not necessarily mean the end of the deal.
«Every time something bad happens and every time that there’s an act of violence, there’s this inclination to say, ‘oh, this is the end of the ceasefire. This is the end of the peace plan.’ It’s not the end. It is, in fact, exactly how this is going to have to happen when you have people who hate each other, who have been fighting against each other for a very long time. We are doing very well. We are in a very good place,» Vance said before praising the team working to implement the Gaza deal.

While Vance demanded Hamas disarm in accordance with the deal, he refused to give the terrorist organization an exact deadline, something Trump has not done either.
«The president actually put out a truth this morning that I thought was very instructive. We know that Hamas has to comply with the deal, and if Hamas doesn’t comply with the deal, very bad things are going to happen. But I’m not going to do what the president United States has thus far refused to do, which is put an explicit deadline on it, because a lot of this stuff is difficult. A lot of this stuff is unpredictable,» the vice president said.
The opening of the CMCC is a major milestone in the implementation of the historic deal. Navy Adm. Brad Cooper, head of CENTCOM, attended the news conference and said «200 of America’s sons and daughters, who wear the cloth of the nation, have stepped up and are serving here. I just couldn’t be prouder.»
Jared Kushner was also in attendance at the news conference where he spoke about plans for Gaza reconstruction and the efforts currently underway in the ceasefire deal. Kushner noted that there was «surprisingly strong coordination between the United Nations and Israel» on efforts to get aid to Palestinians in the enclave.
Kushner also said that progress was being made towards getting back the remains of all deceased hostages held in the Gaza Strip.
Prior to Vance’s arrival in Israel, several hostages who were freed as part of the historic deal brokered by the Trump administration met with U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Kushner. The meeting included Omri Miran, Gali Berman, Ziv Berman, Yosef Chaim Ohana, Matan Angrest, Bar Kupershtein, Segev Kalfon, Nimrod Cohen and Eitan Horn.
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum said the former hostages thanked Witkoff and Kushner and expressed «profound gratitude to President Trump for making their freedom a top priority and working tirelessly to ensure their release after more than two years in captivity.»
When speaking at the CMCC, Witkoff said the meeting was an «emotional moment» and that he felt «blessed to be in that room.»
«I didn’t see any victims in that room. I saw strong people who have come out under very difficult circumstances. Their families are reunited, and they are so grateful,» Witkoff said.
In his closing remarks, Vance expressed his trust in God’s providence and said he believed the job could be done.
«I know that Christians have many titles for Jesus Christ, and one of them is the Prince of Peace. And I’d ask all people of faith, in particular my fellow Christians, to pray that the Prince of Peace can continue to work a miracle in this region of the world. I think that we have made incredible strides over the past week. We’re going to have to make a lot more. But I think with your prayers, with God’s providence and with a very good team behind me, I think we’re gonna get it done,» Vance said.
The vice president said that while in Israel, he hopes to visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which Christians believe is the site where Jesus Christ was crucified.
