Border Patrol Captures 13 Fugitives, Seizes $5.2 Million In Drugs Over July 4 Weekend



Border Patrol agents over the Fourth of July weekend seized $5.2 million worth of narcotics and captured 13 fugitives along the California border with Mexico.
More than 300 pounds of methamphetamine, 223 pounds of cocaine, 45 pounds of heroine and other narcotics were seized by Border Patrol agents from Friday through Sunday, according to a press release issued Monday night by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The agents also arrested 13 fugitives during the same time period for various charges, including driving under the influence, assault, burglary and probation violation.
Some of the incidents included a Border Patrol agent who encountered a 23-year-old Mexican citizen driving a tractor trailer carrying Persian limes at the Otay Mesa Cargo port of entry on Sunday.
After an intensive inspection of the trailer, two men were found hiding between the front of the trailer and the pallets of limes.
Another agent encountered a male Mexican citizen and a legal permanent resident who was entering the San Ysidro port of entry on Saturday, and the agent found inconsistencies in the man’s story.
During an intensive inspection, agents discovered 34 pounds of cocaine hidden in the transmission of the man’s vehicle. The estimated street value was estimated at $509,000.
Border patrol agents seized all narcotics and vehicles over the weekend and all suspects were turned over to the Department of Homeland Security for further processing.
A previously deported sex offender was also arrested by El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents over the weekend, according to the CBP. He was observed running north from the international border fence west of Calexico.
Agents determined the man was illegal in the country, and a record check revealed the 36-year-old Mexican national was convicted for “contributing to the sexual delinquency of a minor” back in 2003.
An immigration judge had ordered his removal and return to Mexico.
The man will be prosecuted for re-entry after being previously removed from the country.
The El Centro Sector Border Patrol in fiscal year 2017 alone has arrested and removed 10 convicted sex offenders who have attempted to enter the country illegally.

As First Lady Melania Trump and President Donald Trump took off for their second foreign trip abroad together, the former fashion model shined bright in an array of high fashion glamour.
Departing for her trip to Warsaw, Poland and Hamburg, Germany for the G20 Summit, Melania donned a pair of pale pink cropped wide-leg windowpane Valentino trousers, along with a black, long-sleeve knit sweater. The Valentino pants retail for $1,790, as Breitbart News reported.
To top the departure ensemble off, Melania chose a luxury Hermès crocodile-skin Birkin handbag, dark shades and black suede Manolo Blahnik stilettos.
Arriving to a warm welcome in Warsaw, Poland, Melania stunned as she stepped off Air Force One in an emerald green suede Diane Von Furstenberg coat, which is already sold out. Melania paired the coat with a graphic Diane Von Furstenberg Arago silk scarf, which retails for $89.
Melania’s joyous arrival in the bold-colored look was greeted with rave reviews from the fashion press, with American Vogue declaring that the outfit “appeared to take its cues from ‘70s fashion, projecting a polished yet louche quality.”

For President Trump’s now famous ‘defense of the West’ speech in Warsaw, Melania went bold and bright with a sleeveless decoupage midi dress from Spanish design house Delpozo. The pop-art ensemble was made from a scuba-knit, featuring a graphic design of orange, blue and magenta. Melania paired the look with pink – verging on purple – Manolo Blahnik stilettos.
This was the first time the First Lady has worn Delpozo, prompting the design house to cheer on Melania’s bold choice on their Instagram page, posting out a photo of her in the scuba-knit dress.
In Hamburg, Germany, for the G20 Summit dinner banquet, Melania went white with a crisp, 1920s-inspired Michael Kors frock along with bright white pointed-toe Christian Louboutin stilletos. The Michael Kors dress retails for $2,995 at Neiman Marcus.
Melania, often donning a feathered middle-part for her hair, switched it up for the dinner and wore a side-part, as well as natural makeup.

Melania went back to bold, just as she arrived in her final ensemble for the European tour. For the G20 Summit, Melania wore a grey and white Herve Pierre dress and a rich, mango-colored Bottega Veneta cashmere wrap coat. The Bottega Veneta coat retails for $5,400 at Neiman Marcus.
The First Lady paired the striking look with a bright orange leather belt and silver snakeskin Manolo Blahnik pointed stilettos, along with her famous feather sandy-toned hair.

Conservatives Are Done With Ryan – Look Who They Want To Be The New Speaker…

Imahe
It’s really unfortunate that our nation has a de facto two-party system. Of course, there are many other parties, but none have any chance of gaining power or exerting much influence. The worst part is, the party that’s supposed to represent conservatives is filled with a bunch of spineless clowns. For years they’ve promised us the moon, whining that they can’t pursue conservative policies until they gain power. Well, we’ve done our part, and look what it’s gotten us–nothing Congress is a joke, hated by everyone, and rightfully so. Especially by conservatives, who are betrayed time and again by their “leaders.” Worst of all, the head honcho in the House is a closet liberal who’s been dragging his feet on everything Trump has proposed. He beats around the bush and says the most politically correct things, as it’s all a front to hide his true agenda, which is to capitulate to the Left at every opportunity. Paul Ryan wants to be seen as a pragmatist that will work with t...

BREAKING: ISRAEL HAS ENOUGH, BOMBS THE HELL OUT OF ISIS. DO YOU SUPPORT ISRAEL?

Imahe
The one nation that the US has always been able to rely on in the Middle East is Israel; with a long history of cooperation and support in the area, it has always been a focal point for division among those that are pro-Palestinian. And although recent developments with the US and Syria seem to be showing a more determined attitude in protecting pour allies, the Israelis themselves have decided to take matters into their own hands. After ISIS began firing rockets directly into Israeli settlements, the Israeli military responded with a devastating mass bombing using armed drones. Whilst the ISIS casualty list only numbered one ISIS fighter dead, the message was heard loudly and clearly: Israel will not sit by as we are attacked. Although claiming to support Israel, under the Obama administration, most pro-Israel votes in the UN were either voted against by America or abstained from; this is not how we should be showing our support. And last year’s USAID budget showed that of the...
