FIRST ON FOX: President Donald Trump’s D.C. crime crackdown has led to 1,914 arrests since Aug. 7, including dozens Thursday night. Among them was an illegal immigrant on a terrorist watch list and a person of interest tied to a gun found abandoned on school property, Fox News Digital has learned.
Hundreds of National Guard members, the Metropolitan Police Department and personnel from federal agencies, such as the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, Capitol Police and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, have taken to the streets of D.C. to conduct sweeps and root out crime since August as part of Trump’s crackdown on rampant crime.
Law enforcement officials arrested 73 individuals Thursday evening, including an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who is on the terrorist watch list; an illegal immigrant from Colombia and confirmed Florencia 13 gang member with prior arrests for grand theft, carjacking and bringing narcotics/alcohol in detention facility; an individual arrested on a warrant for attempted first-degree murder (knife), first-degree assault; another arrested on warrant for assault with intent to kill while armed; and an illegal immigrant from Bolivia arrested with prior criminal arrests for domestic batter/abuse, felonious assault, abduction by force without justification and driving while intoxicated.

Another unnamed individual was arrested Thursday evening for carrying a firearm without a license and a violation of the National Firearms Act. That individual was identified as a person of interest in an incident involving an abandoned gun found at a school Sept. 3, Fox News Digital learned.
Law enforcement contacted the suspect via phone, and the suspect agreed to surrender to officers, according to the White House.

Law enforcement notably rescued a child who was reported missing during Thursday’s operation. The crime crackdown in D.C. has led to the rescue of six missing children since Aug. 7, Fox Digital learned.
«Thanks to President Trump, some of the most dangerous criminals who have committed heinous crimes have been removed from the streets of Washington, D.C.,» White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Fox News Digital Friday. «For far too long, these criminals have been able to commit crime after crime without any accountability, but President Trump has restored law and order to our nation’s capital.
«As a result of President Trump’s tough-on-crime policies, federal law enforcement operations have removed nearly 2,000 dangerous criminals, lethal drugs and deadly weapons from the city, which is a win for all D.C. residents and visitors.»
The White House provided Fox Digital with a handful of photos showing handguns and illegal substances recovered during the arrests this week.

The crime crackdown has yielded 17 arrests of alleged violent gangbangers, including members of MS-13 and Tren de Aragua, while a total of 198 guns have been seized. The operation has also led to the clearance of 50 different homeless encampments across the city.

Trump federalized the Metropolitan Police Department Aug. 11 in response to a spate of high-profile killings and attacks in the city after a dangerous crime wave that washed over the country, including D.C., beginning in 2020. Trump federalized the local police department under section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which allows the president to assume emergency control of the capital’s police force for 30 days.
Army Secretary Dan Driscoll published a memo Wednesday extending the National Guard’s presence specifically in D.C. through Nov. 30. The memo stated the extension is «to continue supporting the President’s ongoing efforts to restore law and order in the District of Columbia,» Fox News previously reported.

D.C. recorded 13 days of zero homicides in August shortly after Trump federalized the city, with law enforcement racking up a lengthy list of suspected criminals stretching from drug distributors to illegal immigrants to those carrying illegal firearms in the city.

Trump has since floated deploying the National Guard to other cities to help curb crime, including Chicago and Baltimore, which has gotten a strong rebuke from local leaders who have said the crackdown is unnecessary as crime data show violent trends have slowed since the 2020 era and that Trump is promoting authoritarianism.
«This is exactly the type of overreach that our country’s founders warned against,» Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker told the media in August while slamming Trump’s suggestions of National Guard deployment.

George Santos expresses gratitude to Trump following commutation of his 7-year prison sentence

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Disgraced former Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., took to social media Saturday to thank President Donald Trump for commuting his prison sentence, saying the commander in chief’s «kindness» and «generosity» moved him deeply.
Trump announced the commutation late Friday, ordering Santos’ immediate release from federal prison, where he was serving a seven-year sentence for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft in New Jersey.
In a lengthy post on X, Santos expressed gratitude for both his faith and the President.
«Yesterday, I was given something I never thought I’d have again: a true second chance at life,» Santos posted to X Saturday evening. «First and foremost, I want to thank our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for never abandoning me. … I also want to express my deepest gratitude to President Donald J. Trump.»

«President Trump reminded me that in this country we love so much, no mistake, no hardship, and no fall from grace can take away the possibility of renewal,» Santos said. «His faith in second chances reignited my own, and for that, I will be forever thankful.»

The former congressman also thanked his supporters who stood by him and said that, going forward, he plans to focus on prison reform, inspired by Trump’s historic peace deal he secured between Israel and Hamas earlier this month.
«Inspired by President Trump’s work toward peace in the Middle East, I am dedicating myself to doing good, to building bridges instead of walls,» Santos said. «My focus will be on prison reform and accountability, ensuring that those in power uphold the dignity and humanity of every person in their care.»

Santos also accused officials at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fairton, New Jersey, of mistreatment.
«No one should ever be dehumanized or degraded like I was by the FCI Fariton Warden Kelly and Assistant Warden Nobile,» Santos said. «My goal now is to turn my past into something meaningful, to help create a justice system that truly believes in rehabilitation and second chances.»
In his Truth Social post announcing the commutation, Trump described Santos as «somewhat of a rogue» but argued his punishment was excessive.

«At least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN!» Trump said. «George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated. Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life!»

In April, Santos was sentenced to 87 months in prison after pleading guilty to deceiving donors and stealing the identities of nearly a dozen people to funnel fraudulent contributions to his campaign. He reported to FCI Fairton in July.
The former representative, elected in 2022, served in Congress for close to a year before being ousted in 2023 by his House colleagues.
The FCI New Jersey did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Crece el escándalo de la joven sorprendida junto a un cura semidesnudo: ahora investigan a su suegro

El caso del cura que fue sorprendido en su casa junto a una joven de 21 años -ella vestida con un baby doll, él semidesnudo-, derivó en una investigación policial que ya tiene a cuatro personas en la mira: entre ellos, el suegro de la mujer, dos amigos del novio y una mujer.
Según confirmó el comisario Franklin Alves al sitio g1, la policía realizó este jueves una serie de allanamientos y secuestró tres celulares, entre ellos el del propio suegro de la joven.

Los investigadores buscan determinar el rol de cada uno de los involucrados en la invasión a la casa del cura Luciano Braga Simplício y en la posterior difusión de las imágenes, que generaron un fuerte impacto emocional en la víctima, Isabelly, y un revuelo sin precedentes en la ciudad de Nova Maringá, que cuenta con poco más de 5 mil habitantes. Suspendieron al cura Luciano Braga Simplício mientras se investiga el escándalo. (Foto: gentileza Veja).
Cómo arrancó el escándalo
El incidente, grabado en video, muestra el momento en que dos hombres y una mujer -uno de los cuales se cree que es el suegro del novio- derriban la puerta del baño y encuentran a Isabelly llorando escondida debajo de la pileta.

Según el comisario, la mujer que acompañaba al grupo intentó frenar la situación y pidió que no siguieran adelante, pero no logró evitar la exposición.
“Fue la familia del exnovio ( la que invadió y expuso la situación del cura y la joven, junto a amigos”, detalló Alves, quien remarcó que la investigación apunta a individualizar la responsabilidad de cada uno de los participantes.
Los delitos que investiga la policía
La causa avanza bajo la sospecha de varios delitos graves como invasión de domicilio, daño calificado, restricción ilegal, exposición de imágenes íntimas y daño psicológico a la víctima.
La policía aclaró que la investigación se inició luego de que Isabelly radicara una denuncia por la difusión de las imágenes.
Con los celulares secuestrados, ahora los peritos buscarán reconstruir cómo se produjo la viralización del video y si existen contradicciones en los testimonios de los involucrados. “Buscamos elementos objetivos que nos permitan tener certeza sobre lo que ocurrió y evitar que el proceso se caiga en el futuro”, explicó el delegado.

Además, remarcó que los hechos “tuvieron origen en actitudes profundamente reprobables, marcadas por la ruptura de confianza, el irrespeto y la ausencia de cualquier sentido de responsabilidad moral o religiosa”.
Según el sitio ND Mais, Bruno fue advertido del presunto engaño de su prometida, una joven muy devota que hacía de monaguilla en la Parroquia Nossa Senhora Aparecida, a través de mensajes enviados por amigos. Algunos apuntan a que la joven habría estado en la casa parroquial durante la madrugada.

Qué dijo el cura tras el escándalo
En un audio que se hizo viral, el sacerdote negó cualquier tipo de relación con la joven y aseguró que ella solo le pidió permiso para usar el cuarto y darse una ducha, ya que había trabajado esa mañana en la iglesia para acompañarlo en la liturgia y en el servicio del altar. La joven asistía al cura en la misa. (Foto: gentileza NDMais).
“Isabela preguntó si podía ir a la casa parroquial a cambiarse de ropa, porque llegó por la mañana y quería cambiarse. Así que le dije que sí”, explicó Luciano Braga Simplício, según el sitio ND Mais.
El cura dijo que fue a ducharse, y al salir del baño escuchó a la joven gritar que “había gente”.
“Salí de la ducha. Isa no estaba en el baño ni en el armario, estaba en el living, gritando. Entonces le dije: ‘Isa, voy a abrir la puerta, quédate aquí a un lado para que nadie te vea y no piensen nada…”, dijo Luciano. Isabelly estaba escondida debajo de la pileta del baño. (Foto: captura de video).
“No tenía nada, el problema es que cuando llegaron yo me había ido a duchar y ella estaba ahí, no quería que la vieran (…) No hay nada, más allá de eso”, explicó el sacerdote.
La reacción de la Iglesia y el impacto en la comunidad
La Diócesis de Diamantino, responsable de la parroquia donde trabaja el padre Luciano Braga Simplício, informó que inició una investigación interna sobre la conducta del sacerdote.
