Former D.C. Attorney with International Ties Arrested on Tax Evasion, Fraud Charges After Returning to U.S.

A well-connected former Washington, D.C.-area attorney and globetrotting executive, Richard Graham Foote O’Donoghue, was arrested upon reentering the United States and charged with serious tax crimes and lying to federal investigators, the Department of Justice announced Friday.

The indictment accuses O’Donoghue of evading taxes on nearly $1 million in income and attempting to defraud the IRS through a coordinated pattern of deception, including filing false returns and fabricating his job title to a tax preparer.

O’Donoghue, who currently resides in the United Kingdom, previously served as CEO of a foreign defense contractor based in Dubai, raising eyebrows about the extent of his foreign entanglements.

According to the press release:

According to the indictment, from 2012 through 2015, O’Donoghue made substantial income first as an independent contractor for several non-U.S. businesses, including a defense contractor based out of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and then as CEO of that contractor.

While he was CEO, O’Donoghue allegedly also received significant bonuses and benefits including a car and driver and a rented luxury villa for his family.

The indictment alleges that O’Donoghue did not timely file tax returns for tax years 2012 through 2014. In 2016, however, O’Donoghue hired a return preparer to prepare tax returns for 2012 through tax year 2015. O’Donoghue allegedly provided false information to his return preparer about his employment and income.

For example, O’Donoghue allegedly told the return preparer that he was the general manager of the company, not the CEO, and concealed his bonuses and the expenses the company paid on his behalf.

These alleged lies allegedly caused the return preparer to prepare and file false tax returns for those years that underreported his income by approximately $1 million. Because O’Donoghue had previously made estimated payments, his false returns allegedly requested refunds from the IRS of more than $247,000 — much of which the IRS paid out.

The indictment further alleges that in February 2023, O’Donoghue made false statements about his income and other matters to law enforcement agents and Department of Justice prosecutors.

If convicted, O’Donoghue faces decades in federal prison, including:

Up to 5 years per count for tax evasion
3 years per count for false tax returns
5 years for making false statements to the federal government

“I Touch Whoever I Want Motherf*cker!” BREAKING: ICE Bodycam Footage Shows Dem Rep LaMonica McIver Verbally and Physically Assaulting Federal Agents (VIDEO)

Lock her up and expel her from Congress!

ICE bodycam footage showed Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver verbally abusing and physically assaulting federal agents at a detention facility in Newark.

Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver (woman in the red jacket) physically attacked ICE agents at Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, on Friday.

Democrat members of Congress and Newark Mayor Ras Baraka went to ‘inspect’ the Delaney Hall detention facility in New Jersey when a violent altercation broke out amid a breach.

In February, ICE announced it was expanding detention capacity with the Delaney Hall facility.

“This detention center is the first to open under the new administration,” said acting ICE Director Caleb Vitello in February. “The location near an international airport streamlines logistics, and helps facilitate the timely processing of individuals in our custody as we pursue President Trump’s mandate to arrest, detain and remove illegal aliens from our communities.”

Angry over the Trump Administration’s efforts to lock up illegals, the Democrats began shouting at ICE agents as they stormed the facility.

Rep. Monica McIver was seen laying hands on agents during the altercation and chaos.

BREAKING: President Trump Announces FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE Between India and Pakistan After U.S.-Led Talks

Credit: The White House

President Donald Trump announced today that India and Pakistan have agreed to a “full and immediate ceasefire,” concluding a period of intense cross-border hostilities that had escalated to the most severe confrontation between the two nuclear-armed neighbors in decades.

The ceasefire agreement was reached following overnight negotiations mediated by the United States, with key involvement from Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance.

President Trump shared the announcement on his social media platform, Truth Social, stating:

“After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE. Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Screenshot: @realDonaldTrump / Truth Social

The ceasefire agreement was confirmed by both nations.

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar announced that the ceasefire would take effect immediately, emphasizing Pakistan’s commitment to regional peace and security.

Pakistan and India have agreed to a ceasefire with immediate effect. Pakistan has always strived for peace and security in the region, without compromising on its sovereignty and territorial integrity!

— Ishaq Dar (@MIshaqDar50) May 10, 2025

India’s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri detailed that military operations on land, air, and sea would cease from 5:00 PM Indian Standard Time, following direct communication between the military operations heads of both countries.

The recent escalation was triggered by a terrorist attack on April 22 in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir, which resulted in 26 civilian deaths. India attributed the attack to Pakistan-based militants and launched “Operation Sindoor,” targeting alleged terrorist camps in Pakistan.

Pakistan responded with “Operation Bunyan Ul Marsoos,” leading to mutual missile and drone strikes and raising fears of a broader conflict.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance played pivotal roles in mediating the ceasefire.

Secretary Rubio wrote on X:

“Over the past 48 hours, VP Vance and I have engaged with senior Indian and Pakistani officials, including Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Shehbaz Sharif, External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir, and National Security Advisors Ajit Doval and Asim Malik.

I am pleased to announce the Governments of India and Pakistan have agreed to an immediate ceasefire and to start talks on a broad set of issues at a neutral site.

We commend Prime Ministers Modi and Sharif on their wisdom, prudence, and statesmanship in choosing the path of peace.”

Over the past 48 hours, @VP Vance and I have engaged with senior Indian and Pakistani officials, including Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Shehbaz Sharif, External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir, and National Security Advisors Ajit…

— Secretary Marco Rubio (@SecRubio) May 10, 2025

However, there are reports that Pakistan violated the ceasefire agreement.

According to Indian defense officials, Pakistan initiated drone incursions into Jammu and Kashmir, targeting areas such as Srinagar, Udhampur, and parts of Rajasthan. Artillery shelling was also reported along the Line of Control (LoC) in sectors including Akhnoor, Rajouri, and RS Pura.

What the hell just happened to the ceasefire? Explosions heard across Srinagar!!!

Democrat Judge Rochelle Lozano Camacho Turns Herself in to County Officials – Arrested and Charged with Vote Harvesting Scheme Targeting Seniors During Her Primary

Frio County Texas Judge Rochelle Lozano Camacho was booked on Friday and charged with three counts of vote harvesting during her 2022 primary campaign.

On Wednesday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the arrest of six individuals, including public officials in Frio County, for participating in an illegal vote harvesting scheme.

The individuals were arrested on the previous Friday excluding the Frio County Judge Rochelle Lozano Camacho who was not processed at the time.

On Friday, Judge Rochelle Lozano Camacho turned herself in to police and charged with vote harvesting during her primary election. Camacho had been dealing with medical issues.

According to IJR, Judge Camacho campaigned on a message of “UNITY, MOVEMENT and PROGRESSION FOR FRIO COUNTY.”

Her sister, the county’s trustee, was also arrested in the vote harvesting scheme.

According to IJR:

The charges stem from a multi-year investigation launched in 2022 after Camacho’s opponent in the Democratic primary runoff, Mary Moore, filed a complaint, San Antonio-based ABC affiliate KSAT reported. Moore accused Camacho of hiring a longtime Democrat operative to gather mail ballots, complete applications, and even drive voters to polling locations. She allegedly paid them between $1,500 and $2,500.

Camacho allegedly targeted elderly voters in a Pearsall, Texas subdivision, Newsweek reported. One of Camacho’s partners in the scheme reportedly concealed ballots under her shirt and used multiple vehicles to avoid detection from investigators.

From our earlier report.

The Texas Attorney General’s website reported:

Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the indictments and arrests of six people, including several public officials, for election crimes related to a vote harvesting scheme in Frio County.

“The people of Texas deserve fair and honest elections, not backroom deals and political insiders rigging the system. Elected officials who think they can cheat to stay in power will be held accountable. No one is above the law,” said Attorney General Paxton. “My office will continue to work with Frio County District Attorney Audrey Louis to protect the integrity of our elections.”

In August 2024, Attorney General Paxton’s Criminal Investigation Division executed multiple search warrants in Frio, Atascosa, and Bexar Counties as part of a multi-year election integrity investigation into credible allegations of vote harvesting. On May 1, 2025, Frio County District Attorney Audrey Louis and the Election Integrity Unit of the Office of the Attorney General presented a criminal vote harvesting case to a grand jury in Frio County. The grand jury returned true bills for the following indictments:

Frio County Judge, Rochelle Camacho: 3 counts of Vote Harvesting
Former Frio County Elections Administrator, Carlos Segura: 1 count of Tampering with or Fabricating Physical Evidence
Pearsall City Council, Ramiro Trevino: 1 count of Vote Harvesting
Pearsall City Council, Racheal Garza: 1 count of Vote Harvesting
Pearsall ISD Trustee, Adriann Ramirez: 3 counts of Vote Harvesting
Alleged Frio County Vote Harvester, Rosa Rodriguez: 2 counts of Vote Harvesting

Each suspect was arrested on May 2, 2025, with the exception of Rochelle Camacho, who will be processed at a later date.

Marjorie Taylor Greene SHOCKS Georgia GOP Elites with Blistering Statement on 2026 Senate Race

Credit: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene / X

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene delivered a blistering rebuke of the GOP establishment, deep-state consultants, and elite donors plotting behind closed doors to anoint a Senate candidate for 2026 in the state of Georgia.

Greene scorched the Republican elite class for trying to install a “MAGA costume-wearing fraud” to challenge Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff—while making it crystal clear: she’s not running.

But her announcement wasn’t just a polite bow-out. It was an all-out war cry against the GOP establishment, RINO consultants, and the donor class that she says is actively working to deceive Georgia voters and sabotage the MAGA movement from within.

Read her full statement below:

“I love my home state of Georgia so much. The people here may not be rich with the world’s riches, but they are overflowing with kindness, love, family values, and a deep sense of joy, whether they’re sitting on the front porch or the tailgate of a pickup truck. These are the people who raised me, who I’m lucky enough to call friends, and who hug my neck no matter what corner of the state I’m in.

These are the people I fight for.

So when I read an Axios article this morning about the ultra-rich Kemp donors gathering last weekend at their elite retreat on luxurious Sea Island to anoint their preferred candidate to run against Jon Ossoff, I laughed out loud. Sea Island is not far from Jekyll Island, where another elite retreat formed the Federal Reserve, and look how that turned out.

We all know how these elite retreats work. Many of the attendees hate Trump, backed DeSantis, look down on MAGA, and refused to fight when our election was stolen in 2020.

Now, they’re trying to carefully select someone who can dress up in MAGA just enough to trick the grassroots into thinking they’re one of us—someone who won’t dare challenge the Republican establishment or disrupt the status quo that has failed the people time and time again.

These are the Republicans who see Trump as a speed bump, one they believe they can carefully roll over now that he won’t be on the ballot again.
These are the same elites who scoffed at me when I first ran for Congress in 2020. But I beat eight well-funded male opponents in the primary and crushed the establishment’s handpicked neurosurgeon in the runoff.

And I’ll be blunt: the elites don’t speak for the people of Georgia who would walk through fire for President Trump. The political consultants embedded in the White House don’t know Georgia like I do. Our people are not stupid, and they’ve learned a powerful lesson over the last few years.

They don’t believe the polls crafted by firms that won’t even work with me because of “conflicts”—which really means they’re already working against me. I still remember my Statistics class at UGA: you can manipulate polling outcomes by cherry-picking a small, specific sample to tell whatever story you want.

That’s why we saw polls that said Hillary would beat Trump in 2016, that Kamala would beat Trump in 2024, and now that I would win the primary in a blowout but lose the general. It’s all a scam.

When I met with the NRSC a few weeks ago, they told me their internal polling shows any Republican can beat Ossoff. But now they’re pushing a public poll of just 800 people claiming only certain Republicans can win. Funny how that works.

Polling has become so dishonest that most people barely pay attention to it anymore. Voters are sick of the consultants who keep getting rich whether we win or lose.

That’s why I laughed at that Axios article. Because elections today aren’t about choosing leaders who’ll serve the people, they’re about money. Consultants need to know which ultra-wealthy donor the elites will bless so they can follow the campaign cash trail into PACs and super PACs.
But here’s the thing: the people aren’t falling for it anymore.

Most elected Republicans, propped up by consultants and rich donors, fail to deliver on their campaign promises. Why? Because their donors and handlers don’t want change. They want to protect their own interests, not yours.

I broke through the system because of the incredible patriots in Georgia’s 14th District who elected me. I haven’t changed. I fight every single day for the people.

That’s why I’ve built one of the largest email lists and digital donor files in Congress, with supporters from all 50 states and over 11 million followers across social media.

I’m effective, fearless, and relentless, not because I serve the Republican Party, but because I serve the American people. And I despise the corrupt Uniparty system that keeps failing us.

Beating Jon Ossoff? That would be easy. He’s a silver-spoon progressive who’s never held a real job or worried about putting a roof over his family’s head. He was raised in elite private schools in Decatur, where I went to public school.

He voted for every single one of Biden’s destructive policies. And the most disgusting thing about him? He has a daughter, yet he voted against our bill to keep mentally ill biological men out of girls’ sports. He’d rather virtue signal to the trans cult than protect his own daughter.

I was born in Milledgeville, went to public school in Decatur, finished high school in Cumming, and graduated from UGA in ‘96 with a business degree. I worked multiple jobs in school. I didn’t rub elbows with elites at Sea Island. I ran my family’s construction company with hardworking people, from the office to the guy picking up nails on the job site. That’s who I am.

And the greatest job I’ve ever had? Being a mother. I’ve raised three kids, and I’ll fight for them until my last breath.

Now, here’s the funny thing about running for Senate: everyone in politics thinks they know what I’ll do. They don’t.

Yes, I’m competitive. Yes, I love to win. And yes, I know I would win both the primary and the general. I’d enjoy proving the elites wrong every single day.

But that’s not what motivates me.

It’s not about crushing the establishment again or flipping a seat just to help the Republican Party.

It’s about the job itself.

Can I deliver for the people of Georgia in the Senate? Can I fulfill my promises? Can I actually save this country from the inside?

Here’s the hard truth: the Senate doesn’t work. It’s designed to obstruct the will of the people and protect the Uniparty’s grip on power. Nearly everything requires 60 votes to pass, and even when we have a majority, a pack of Republican Senators always votes “no” on the bills that matter most.
You know who they are. You’ve watched them sabotage Trump’s agenda for years. They don’t fear you, and they don’t serve you. They’re protected by the same corrupt system of donors and consultants who manipulate you with fear.

When 2026 campaign ads start telling you to vote Republican “or the Democrats will impeach Trump,” just know the Party still doesn’t get it. We didn’t win in 2024 because we wanted excuses. We won because we demanded results.

And those same Republican Senators fast-tracked Biden’s radical nominees, including Garland, Mayorkas, even Rachel Levine, while quietly working to block Trump’s MAGA picks.

There are exceptions to the 60-vote rule, like reconciliation and rescission. But we haven’t seen those used to help us either, and when they are, it’s not what you think.

Take a look at Senate leadership. The same Republicans who green-lit Biden’s worst nominees now chair the committees that control legislation. Mitch McConnell isn’t Senate Leader anymore, but he chairs the powerful Rules Committee and still controls what makes it to the floor. Susan Collins chairs Appropriations. Think about that.

Even with a few good Republicans in the Senate, nothing changes.

So no, Jon Ossoff isn’t the real problem. He’s just a vote. A pawn. No different than the Uniparty Republicans who skip key votes to attend fundraisers and let our agenda fail.

Someone once said, “The Senate is where good ideas go to die.”

They were right.

That’s why I’m not running.

I won’t fight for a team that refuses to win, that protects its weakest players, and that undermines the very people it’s supposed to serve.

To the elite retreaters, the consultants, and the establishment: consider this your warning.

Georgia is the economic engine of the South. We’ve got the third-largest port in the nation, the busiest airport in the world, and major trade corridors in I-75 and I-85. The Democrats want Georgia because if they flip us, they topple the South.

And Republican decisions are helping them do it, selling out to foreign companies under the guise of “job creation,” pushing the climate agenda with battery plants and failed EV startups, handing out tax incentives to Hollywood while ignoring places like Clayton County. This isn’t helping Georgians, it’s insulting them.

You’re turning voters away. You can’t dress someone up in cowboy boots and think they’ll fool us. Even Trump’s endorsement and rallies can’t save your approved candidates anymore. Georgians are smarter than that.

They’ve been burned too many times.

So when the decision-makers from DC, Virginia, or Florida are met with quiet smiles and polite nods, just know: we get it. You don’t. Bless your hearts.
Soon enough, the booze will flow again at the country clubs and Mar-a-Lago, and the consultants will chase another cycle’s cash. But after Republicans raise taxes and close your loopholes, you might realize—too late—you joined the wrong team.

As for me, I’ll be on the porch, at the tailgate, with the people I love.

If I’m going to fight for a team, it will only be a team willing to lay it all on the line to save this country.

And right now, I just don’t see that, even after they tried to kill my favorite President. To be clear, I love President Trump and everything he has done and is trying to do for this country. I hate the system that stops it.

So, Jon Ossoff, you can stop with the fundraising emails and campaign ads claiming I’m your opponent.

I’m not running.

Start trying to raise money off one of these other generic Republicans, though I expect your donations will drop.

Good luck.”

Meet Former Navy JAG Officer Taking on RINO Thom Tillis in the 2026 North Carolina Senate Race

U S Senate Candidate Don Brown (Credit: Facebook)

Conservative attorney and former Navy JAG officer enters North Carolina Senate race, targeting Tillis over ‘RINO’ policies.

Don Brown, a conservative attorney, author, and former U.S. Navy JAG officer, has declared his candidacy for the 2026 U.S. Senate race in North Carolina, aiming to unseat incumbent Republican Senator Thom Tillis in the GOP primary.

“Ed Martin stood up for January 6 defendants. He never backed down from telling the truth. Thom Tillis helped block his path. This is exactly why North Carolina needs new leadership—men and women who won’t fold under pressure and won’t bow to the D.C. establishment. I stand with President Trump. I stand with Ed Martin. And I’ll stand for the people of this state—every. single. time,” Brown wrote on X.

North Carolina is DONE with career politicians like Thom Tillis. Click HERE to donate.

In a fiery campaign video released this week, Brown blasted Tillis for turning his back on peaceful Trump supporters and for failing to call out the blatant double standard between January 6 prosecutions and the George Floyd riots.

Brown: “Senator Tillis is not supporting Mr. Martin essentially because of January 6th. The Senator has an issue with Americans going inside their own Capitol on January 6th. And keep this in mind: the large majority of Americans—Trump supporters—who went in to raise their voices against a highly questionable election were peaceful. And the Senator is saying that if you go in your own Capitol, you should be arrested and put in jail.

Sorry, Senator, but the United States Capitol is the house of “We the People.” And for United States senators to suggest that anybody who walked in—which includes even the most peaceful Trump protesters who walked in and walked out—should have been arrested and gone to jail is beyond the pale. Senator Tillis has lost his mind. He is not one of us.

He has never once complained at all about the fact that the DOJ planted agents inside the Capitol. The DOJ admitted that at least 15 FBI agents were inside the Capitol and were guilty of the crime of entering during and remaining in a restricted space—essentially federal trespassing—but not one has been prosecuted. He has never called Merrick Garland into question.

He has never once questioned what the Justice Department did in trying to prosecute 95% of Trump protesters, when by contrast, Democrat prosecutors dismissed 95% of George Floyd prosecutions. He is not one of us. He does not represent North Carolina, and he has stabbed President Trump in the back one too many times.

Now, listen—we have an opportunity to send a fire-breathing, conservative patriot to the United States Senate. I would appreciate your support, and we can do it, and we can make it happen. But here’s what I need you to do. I need you to please go to our website: brownfournc.com. That’s brownfournc.com.

And I need you to do a couple of things. One—you’ll see several options. Sign up to be part of our campaign team to help us distribute videos just like this. And yes, we need your contribution as well. I know that most of our people—most of our supporters—are grassroots Americans, red-blooded American patriots, and probably can’t donate the maximum of $3,500. If you can, that’s great. But frankly, I’d rather have a million people donate $5 to this campaign than a couple of people donate a million.

Because I want to represent the people—the grassroots. We can take Senator Tillis down, and we can and we will win the election next November against Roy Cooper or whoever the Democrats put up.

Because this burning torch of freedom has been set ablaze by President Trump, and we’re going to pick up the torch, and we’re going to carry it forward. Please go to brownfournc.com. Support Don Brown, United States Senate, 2026. We need your help now.

We’re going to win this, and we’re going to restore freedom to the United States Senate. You’re going to have an America First senator that you can be proud of.”

According to Brown’s website:

Don Brown is a former United States Navy JAG Officer who served in the Pentagon, a former Special Assistant United States Attorney, a former Republican Congressional candidate, and a Publishers Weekly national best-selling author.

The author of 16 books, four of which achieved national bestseller status, in the past 10 years, Don has fought on the front lines of the battle for freedom, working as an author, a constitutional lawyer, and a former United States Navy JAG officer.

Don has battled leftist tyranny on four separate national fronts, including:

Battling for America’s fighting men and women against the democrats’ woke and liberal Rules of Engagement that got Americans killed;
Fighting election fraud from the 2020 national presidential election, serving on three separate legal teams seeking to expose the truth of what clearly appears to be a stolen election;
Battling unconstitutional vaccination and mass mandates, where Don brought federal litigation for 78 Americans to block Biden’s unconstitutional vaccination mandates, and
Serving as an outspoken advocate and attorney on behalf of January 6 Patriots, whom the left tried to destroy with a massive, vicious, unconstitutional prosecutorial scheme.

Don is one of only a small handful of constitutional lawyers in the country who has received not one but two presidential pardons for patriot clients from President Donald J. Trump, with both clients, Army Lieutenant Clint Lorance and J-6 Patriot Elliot Bishay, being targeted by democrat political prosecutions. Don has advised other J-6 political prisoners as well, helping them to restore their lives in the wake of the democrats’ illegal and unconstitutional fedsurrection.

Don’s 2015 military exposé, CALL SIGN EXTORTION 17: The Shootdown of SEAL Team Six, exposed the shoot-down of a Chinook helicopter in Afghanistan in 2011, killing 30 Americans, including 17 members of Seal Team Six. The book attacked the Obama Administration’s suicidal rules of engagement in Afghanistan. It served as a basis for the 2021 docu-drama movie FALLEN ANGEL: Extortion 17, released by Salem Media. Don appears in the film alongside Sean Hannity, Lieutenant General Jerry Boykin, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

Don has made numerous national media appearances on outlets such as Fox News, the Sean Hannity Show, Fox and Friends, Real Americas Voice, One America News, has appeared as a keynote speaker at the Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon Presidential Libraries, and has written dozens of conservative editorials, on websites such as Fox News, The Washington Times, the New York Post, The Federalist, the Blaze, American Thinker, and others.

In February 2025, Don authorized his campaign team to file paperwork with the FEC to prepare for entering the race for the 2026 Republican nomination for the United States Senate from North Carolina.

Trump Announces India-Pakistan Ceasefire

After days of escalating violence and growing fears of nuclear war, India and Pakistan have agreed to an immediate ceasefire, President Donald Trump announced Saturday on Truth Social. Trump said the truce was reached after “a long night of talks mediated by the United States.”

Both Islamabad and New Delhi have confirmed the news, with India’s foreign secretary clarifying the ceasefire began at 5 p.m. local time (7:30 a.m. ET), about a half hour before Trump’s post.

Fighting between the nations broke out on Wednesday, when Indian missiles struck Pakistan in retaliation for a terrorist attack late last month in Kashmir, which New Delhi administers. The strikes prompted tit-for-tat attacks that escalated through early Saturday, with both countries using drones, fighter jets, and long-range missiles.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed Saturday on X that he and Vice President J.D. Vance had “engaged with senior Indian and Pakistani officials” over the past 48 hours to de-escalate tensions.

The news of a ceasefire will come as a huge relief to the international community. Long-time rivals, India and Pakistan possess nuclear weapons and had seemed locked in an escalation spiral with no off-ramp. Hours before the truce, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had called a meeting of the government body responsible for decisions related to nuclear weapons.

JUST IN: Trump Announces US-Mediated ‘Full and Immediate Ceasefire’ Between Warring Nuclear Powers India and Pakistan

Trump’s diplomacy has brought PM’s Modi (India, left) and Sharif (Pakistan, right) together to a ceasefire.

The situation between warring neighbors (and nuclear powers) India and Pakistan seemed to be devolving into an open war, as the two countries targeted military bases and exchanged missile and drone attacks.

This military conflict arose after a deadly terrorist attack on tourists in the disputed Kashmir region, raising concerns of a full-blown military confrontation between the two nations that have Historically had a tumultuous relationship, marked by multiple conflicts since their partition in 1947.

But the efforts by the US Donald J. Trump administration have made a difference: after a full night of negotiations mediated by Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a ceasefire has been achieved.

Trump announced it first on Truth Social:

After that Secretary Rubio has posted on X:

After the US is got involved in de-escalation efforts, a seemingly-coordinated messaging started to appear from India and Pakistan, followed now by this sensational breakthrough.

Pakistan confirmed the ceasefire:

Then India also confirmed it:

Reuters reported:

“U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that India and Pakistan had agreed to a ‘full and immediate ceasefire’ after a fourth day of strikes and counter-strikes against each other’s military installations.

Pakistan’s foreign minister also said both countries had agreed to a ceasefire ‘with immediate effect’.”

PMs Sharif and Modi in happier times.

“The announcement came on a day when fears that the countries’ nuclear arsenals might come into play spiked as the Pakistan military said a top military and civil body overseeing its nuclear weapons would meet.

At the same time, officials from both sides showed a willingness for now to take a step back following the day’s exchanges, while the civilian death toll on both sides of the border mounted to 66.”

White House Issues Warning to Illegal Aliens: “WE REPEAT, SELF-DEPORT NOW OR FACE ENORMOUS FINANCIAL PENALTIES AND DEPORTATION” (VIDEO)

In a fiery address from the Oval Office, President Donald Trump announced a groundbreaking executive order launching what he calls the “first-ever self-deportation program” aimed at illegal aliens residing in the United States.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Friday that Project Homecoming will establish an “exit bonus” for “illegal aliens who agree to voluntarily and permanently depart the United States” and streamlines their departure with taxpayer-funded flights for illegal aliens, including those who lack valid travel documents.

It further increases efforts to advertise the program and communicate warnings, notifying aliens of the “consequences of remaining, including removal, prosecution, fines, wage garnishment, and property confiscation.”

Those who do not leave voluntarily will face a “full-scale, aggressive deportation surge, including with an additional 10,000 officers.”

JUST IN: President Trump to Sign Project Homecoming Executive Order to Encourage Illegal Aliens to Self-Deport – “Full-Scale, Aggressive Deportation Surge, Including with an Additional 10,000 Officers” Against Those who Remain

Following the signing of the executive order, President Trump issued the following video address:

Trump:
Today, I signed an executive order to launch the first-ever self-deportation program for illegal aliens. We are making it as easy as possible for illegal aliens to leave America. Any illegal alien can simply show up at an airport and receive a free flight out of our country.

We have also launched a phone app called CBP Home—that’s CBP Home—where illegals can book a free flight to any foreign country. As long as it’s not here, you can go anywhere you want.

We’re also adding a very important exit bonus for illegals to further incentivize their self-deportation. This deportation bonus will save American taxpayers billions and billions of dollars.

What Biden did to this country can never be explained—will never, ever be accepted. Eventually, when the illegals are gone, it will save us trillions of dollars.

However, if illegal aliens choose to remain in America, they’re remaining illegally, and they will face severe consequences. Illegal aliens who stay in America face punishments including significant jail time, enormous financial penalties, confiscation of all property, garnishment of all wages, imprisonment and incarceration, and sudden deportation at a place and in a manner solely of our discretion.

So, to all illegal aliens—book your free flight right now.

We want you out of America. But if you’re really good, we’re going to try and help you get back in. Thank you.

According to the White House:

Illegal aliens who stay in America face punishments:
Significant jail time
Enormous financial penalties
Confiscation of all property
Garnishment of all wages
Imprisonment and incarceration
Sudden deportation in a place and manner solely of our discretion
