Two immigrants granted legal U.S. status under the Biden administration are being charged with shooting up a children’s baseball game in the Houston area, according to a DHS statement.
The two immigrants, Mustafa Mohammad Matalgah, a 27-year-old from Jordan, and Ahmad Mawed, a 21-year-old from Lebanon, are facing felony charges of deadly conduct with a firearm after allegedly firing in the direction of a baseball field during a prayer at a youth game in Katy, Texas, on Sunday. They are being held on $100,000 bond.
One coach was hit in the shoulder, reportedly attempting to shield a child. He was hospitalized due to the injury, but has since been released.
According to a statement by the Department of Homeland Security, both immigrants were allowed into the country during the Biden administration.

Matalgah was granted U.S. citizenship by the Biden administration Aug.1, 2023, according to the agency. The statement said Matalgah was granted citizenship despite prior arrests for drug possession.
Meanwhile, Mawed was given lawful permanent resident status by the Biden administration through an IR-2 visa on June 3, 2021, according to DHS. An IR-2 visa is given to the children of U.S. citizens.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin slammed the Biden administration after the shooting for «not vetting» the immigrants let into the country, especially from high-threat nations.
«Not only did Biden fail the American people by leaving our borders wide open to criminals, but he also legally allowed them to gain status and citizenship to terrorize our communities,» said McLaughlin. «These individuals from high-threat counties were let in by the Biden administration. They clearly were not vetting the aliens they were letting legally enter our country and even become U.S. citizens.

«This horrific act of terror, the firing on children praying before the start of a baseball game, is pure evil,» she added.
The chaos unfolded at Ameripark youth baseball field, known as The Rac, after three people fired weapons from a nearby pasture in the direction of the field as a youth baseball event was ongoing, according to the Waller County Sheriff’s Office.
Video of the incident showed the 12-year-old Texas Colts players in light blue jerseys running frantically for cover as bullets flew past them. One adult appeared to be struck and fell to the ground near home plate.
Houston Warriors founder Andy Baize told KHOU-TV that after the coach, a 27-year-old man, was shot during a pregame prayer with his team, the wounded man’s first reaction was to protect the children. The sheriff’s office said the victim was transported to Memorial Herman Hospital in downtown Houston, where he was treated and later released.
A statement by The Rac said the incident was due to «recreational shooting on a nearby property.» The statement said that local police were immediately notified of «possible illegal hunting.»
A third suspect, Mahmood Abdelsalam Rababah, 23, is also being charged in the shooting.

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.
