Unhinged Federal Judge SHREDS US Attorney Alina Habba Over Arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka

A federal magistrate judge on Wednesday blasted US Attorney Alina Habba for criminally charging Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and then dismissing his charges nearly a week later.

The Mayor of Newark was arrested for criminal trespass earlier this month after storming the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility.

US Attorney Alina Habba on Monday evening announced her office dropped a misdemeanor trespass charge against Newark Mayor Ras Baraka.

The charge against Baraka was related to his riotous activity at the Delaney Hall ICE detention center earlier this month.

“After extensive consideration, we have agreed to dismiss Mayor Baraka’s misdemeanor charge or trespass,” Alina Habba said in a statement posted to X on Monday evening.

“In the spirit of public interest, I have invited the mayor to tour Delaney Hall. The government has nothing to hide at this facility, and I will personally accompany the mayor so he can see that firsthand,” Habba said.

Habba also announced her office charged Democrat Congresswoman LaMonica McIver for assaulting ICE agents.

Judge Andre Espinosa, who previously warned US Attorney Alina Habba against making public statements about Ras Baraka, held a virtual hearing on the matter on Wednesday afternoon.

During the hearing, Judge Espinosa blasted Alina Habba and said the arrest and swift decision to dismiss charges against Ras Baraka “suggests a worrisome misstep.”

The judge scolded prosecutors and said they must “operate with a higher standard…”

Politico reported:

The “hasty arrest” and swift dismissal of a trespassing charge against Mayor Ras Baraka “suggests a worrisome misstep” by interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba, a federal judge said Wednesday afternoon.

U.S. Magistrate Judge André M. Espinosa granted what he called the “embarrassing retraction” of the misdemeanor charge following a May 9 incident at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Newark that unfolded in a tussle between federal authorities and three members of Congress and resulted in the arrest of the city’s Democratic mayor, who is also running for governor.

Espinosa said an arrest is a “severe” step, not part of an investigation, and he said prosecutors must not try to secure convictions at all cost, satisfy public clamor or advance political agendas.

“Your office must operate with a higher standard than that,” he said.

Biden Regime Hid Deadly COVID-19 Vaccine Heart Risks From Public, Explosive Senate Report Finds

Senator Ron Johnson, Source: Wikimedia Commons

In an interim report that further unravels the lies and corruption behind the Biden regime’s COVID-19 vaccine push, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) has revealed that top US health officials knowingly concealed critical safety data regarding heart-related side effects from the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines—specifically in young people.

The damning report accuses the globalist regime of intentionally delaying public warnings for months, despite growing internal and international evidence of serious harm.

The 54-page Senate report, titled “The U.S. Government’s Delayed Response to Myocarditis Following mRNA COVID-19 Vaccination,” details how the CDC and FDA were alerted as early as February 2021—including warnings from Israel’s Ministry of Health—about clusters of myocarditis cases among young people who had received the Pfizer vaccine. Despite this, American health authorities waited until late June 2021 to acknowledge the risks, and only quietly updated vaccine labels after months of suppression and obfuscation.

The federal government was well aware of the myocarditis signal following COVID-19 vaccines, particularly in young men, as early as February 2021.

Despite months of discussion and apparent acknowledgment of the safety concern, U.S. health officials decided not to issue a warning… https://t.co/YZ0gzojxip pic.twitter.com/ZQM3ms0iRe

— Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) May 21, 2025

“Even though CDC and FDA officials were well aware of the risk of myocarditis following COVID-19 vaccination, the Biden administration opted to withhold issuing a formal warning to the public for months about the safety concerns, jeopardizing the health of young Americans,” the report states.

The scandal centers on myocarditis, a dangerous inflammation of the heart muscle, and pericarditis, inflammation of the heart’s protective sac—both serious and potentially fatal conditions. According to Johnson’s investigation, young males were particularly at risk, and health agencies refused to issue a formal Health Alert Network (HAN) message, despite having drafted one. Instead, they downplayed concerns in internal memos and maintained public recommendations to jab children as young as 12 years old.

“The federal government was very well aware of the myocarditis signal, particularly in young men, as early as February [2021],” Sen. Johnson told the Daily Wire. “But in being concerned about [vaccine hesitancy], they violated the inviolable principle of informed consent.”

The findings paint a disturbing picture of a regime willing to sacrifice truth—and young lives—in the service of a political and pharmaceutical agenda. Israeli officials had reached out to their US counterparts to raise alarms about at least 40 cases of myocarditis, warning that the pattern was clear and dangerous. Instead of responding with urgency, US officials chose bureaucratic delay and damage control.

“Tasking nonexperts to adjudicate tweets on complex topics like myocarditis and mask efficacy data was destined for a significant error rate,” said journalist David Zweig, who helped expose related suppression through the Twitter Files.

As we all can recall, doctors and scientists who spoke out were censored, suspended, or attacked as spreaders of ‘misinformation.’ Cardiologist Dr. Anish Koka was suspended from Twitter in 2022 for posting a link to a myocarditis review. Dr. Tracy Beth Hoeg, who consulted for Florida’s Department of Health, had her tweets labeled “misleading” simply for discussing the vaccine’s side effects.

Reacting to the report, Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno didn’t hold back, stating:

“Covid-deranged Democrats locked down the country, imposed authoritarian vaccine mandates, and sacrificed an entire generation of children with school closures—all without a shred of scientific evidence. Now they want you to forget it ever happened. I won’t let them rewrite history.”

“The depths of depravity of this cover-up keep getting deeper,” said BlazeTV’s Matt Kibbe. “They knew about vaccine side effects early on but withheld that information as they continued to push emergency use authorization even as young people were dying.”

“This scandal is ultimately about self-dealing between government bureaucrats and pharmaceutical companies, who all had financial incentives to bury the truth and keep pushing the vaccines.”

Johnson’s report also points out that VAERS, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, had already logged 158 heart-related cases by April 2021. That number exploded to 752 cases by June 2021. But health officials, bafflingly, still recommended vaccination for children and teenagers.

Worse still, subpoenaed internal records show that by May 2021, the CDC considered—but ultimately abandoned—issuing a formal warning through its HAN system. Instead, they chose a low-profile update buried on the CDC website and kept peddling the narrative that “the benefits outweigh the risks.”

“Based on the subpoenaed records…this interim report will highlight records and present a timeline showing U.S. health officials knew about the risk of myocarditis; those officials downplayed the health concern; and U.S. health agencies delayed informing the public,” the report says.

A key reason for the cover-up, Senator Johnson argues, was fear of undermining vaccine uptake—particularly among the young. But this political calculation led to the violation of informed consent, a core ethical standard in medicine.

Even more damning are the numbers: as of April 25, 2025, VAERS reports 38,607 deaths and more than 1.6 million adverse events worldwide linked to COVID-19 injections. For comparison, only 2,663 deaths have been linked to the flu vaccine over the past 35 years.

“No other reports of adverse events associated with any other drug or vaccine even come close to these statistics,” the report states. “And yet, those who oversaw the development and distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines continue to insist it is safe and effective, without providing the data to prove their claims.”

The hearing concluded with Dr. Peter McCullough delivering what he described as a devastating truth bomb on COVID vaccines.

“You’ve asked for us to cite evidence,” Dr. McCullough began. He referenced three papers authored by Nathaniel Mead, a former National Institutes of Health writer who was present in the audience. Collectively, the papers include nearly 1,000 citations—and all arrive at the same conclusion.

“The risks of COVID-19 vaccination far outweigh any theoretical benefits.” McCullough then directly challenged the narrative promoted by Governor Josh Green and Senator Richard Blumenthal, dismissing their assertions that the vaccines saved lives as mere “wishful thinking.”

“I don’t want America to be fooled by this hearing today thinking that the vaccines saved lives—because they didn’t,” Dr. McCullough asserted.

Dr. Peter McCullough says he had only seen TWO cases of myocarditis in his entire career before COVID.

After the shots rolled out, everything changed.

He says he’s now “examined thousands of patients with this problem.”

“There’s 1,065 papers in the peer-reviewed literature on… pic.twitter.com/Gy0qRSl3X7

— The Vigilant Fox (@VigilantFox) May 21, 2025

Senator Johnson’s investigation continues, with more documents expected to be declassified in the coming months. His office has already submitted over 70 oversight letters to the Biden administration, most of which have gone ignored or evaded.

“The full extent of the Biden administration’s failure to immediately warn the public about all COVID-19 vaccine adverse events must be completely exposed,” the report demands. “The American people fund the federal health departments and agencies with their hard-earned tax dollars. The information developed by these departments and agencies belongs to the American people.”

The evidence is mounting: America’s federal health apparatus, captured by pharmaceutical interests and globalist ideology, abandoned its duty to protect citizens—especially children—in favor of maintaining the illusion of vaccine infallibility. It’s a dereliction of duty that not only cost lives but has irreparably eroded public trust.

As more whistleblowers step forward and as documents long kept under wraps are finally revealed, the truth is becoming undeniable: our leaders lied, and young Americans paid the price. The time for accountability has come.

Trained and Sponsored by France, the 155th Ukrainian Mechanized Brigade ‘Anne de Kyiv’ Is Under Investigation for Corruption, Embezzlement and Mass Desertion

Zelensky and Macron: the brigade that is the symbol of their military alliance is a perpetual source of scandals.

A brigade idealized by French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, trained and equipped in France, has become an endless source of scandal.

Ukrainian and French media report on the mass desertion in the 155th Ukrainian mechanized brigade ‘Anne de Kyiv’, where almost a quarter has deserted.

Le Figaro reported (translated from the French):

“This unit was intended to be a successful combat force of the Ukrainian army. But since its deployment to the front, it has been multiplying controversies over equipment shortages, including drones, and mass abandonment of posts among its soldiers.

The Ukrainian army announced on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, that it was launching an inspection of the “Anne of Kiev” brigade, trained and equipped by France to support Ukraine in the face of the Russian invasion, but which has been at the heart of scandals concerning embezzlement and desertions for months.”

The brigade was hailed by Macron and Zelensky as ‘a symbol of military cooperation between Kyiv and Paris’.

Ukrainian magazine Ukrainska Pravda revealed on Monday (19) that Colonel Tarass Maksimov was involved in a case of false payments and extortion of money from his troops.

“The brigade is also facing some 1,200 abandonments of posts, while its numbers include less than 5,000 soldiers, about half of whom were trained in France. ‘After the publication of the article in Ukrainska Pravda, I ordered an additional official inspection of the facts revealed by the journalists’, the commander of the ground forces Mykhailo Drapaty was quoted as saying by the newspaper.”

The ‘Anne of Kiev’ Brigade has been criticized since its deployment to the front, with the Ukrainian General Staff using its soldiers to ‘plug holes’ in other units.

“About 2,300 of the brigade’s soldiers were trained on French soil and equipped with French VAB transport vehicles, AMX-10 tanks and Caesar self-propelled guns, as well as ammunition and anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles. Emmanuel Macron had visited the soldiers of the Ukrainian 155th Brigade in October 2024 during their training in France.”

‘Anne de Kiev’ brigade deployed near Pokrovsk.

Kyiv Post reported:

“According to an article published by Ukrainska Pravda magazine, one of Ukraine’s oldest and highest-standard news agencies, the recently appointed commander of the 155th Brigade, Col. Taras Maksymov, in March 2025 meetings with the unit’s drone team suggested soldier drone builders use their personal money to produce more and better drones, because the military was not providing sufficient funding.”

Maksymov activated a kickback scheme, funneling portions of soldier salaries into an illicit slush fund controlled by him, skimming over half the money for themselves and their accomplices.

“Officers or soldiers participating in such a scheme could, if found guilty, face penalties for theft of state funds for personal gain, conspiring to commit a crime, procuring material for the military outside of regulated means, and misdirection of Ukrainian soldiers’ salaries. Worst-case prison sentences on most counts would be between two to ten years’ imprisonment – per count.”

White House Responds to Massachusetts Judge for “Protecting Criminal Illegal Immigrant Monsters” – Shows List of Murderers, Child Sex Offenders, and Drug Traffickers Judge is Protecting

The White House called out “far-left activist” Massachusetts Judge Brian Murphy in a press release Wednesday after he ruled the administration cannot deport violent criminal aliens. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Biden-appointed US District Judge Brian Murphy said the Trump Administration violated his court order when it deported seven illegal aliens to South Sudan. He said they failed to provide the aliens with “meaningful” due process since they were being sent to “third-party” countries.

BREAKING: Biden Judge Rules Trump Admin Defied Court Order when it Deported Criminal Aliens to South Sudan, Suggests Admin Committed Criminal Contempt

Murphy even suggested Trump Admin officials may have committed contempt for enforcing immigration policy.

The individuals were sent to South Sudan because they’re so bad that even their home countries “would not take them back,” said Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons.

The seven illegal aliens from several different countries have been convicted of murder, sexual assault with children or incapacitated individuals, drug trafficking and other drug charges, and robbery. Most of them have convictions for multiple crimes.

In response to Murphy’s ruling, the White House issued the following news release on Wednesday, featuring the mugshots and rap sheets of the aliens:

It’s another attempt by a far-left activist judge to dictate the foreign policy of the United States — and protect the violent criminal illegal immigrants President Donald J. Trump and his administration have removed from our streets.

“We conducted a deportation flight from Texas to remove some of the most barbaric, violent individuals illegally in the United States. No country on earth wanted to accept them because their crimes are so uniquely monstrous and barbaric … Thanks to the courageous work of the State Department and ICE and the President’s national security team, we found a nation that was willing to accept custody of these vicious illegal aliens,” said Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

“As a career law enforcement officer and a career officer with ICE, I’ve been dealing with these recalcitrant countries for years — having to see repeated murders, sex offenders, violent criminals re-released back into the United States because their home countries would not take them back,” said Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons. “Under President Trump and under the leadership of Secretary Noem, we are now able to remove these public safety threats so they won’t prey on the community anymore.”

Here are the criminal illegal immigrant monsters the activist judge is trying to protect:

Enrique Arias-Hierro, a citizen of Cuba. He has convictions for homicide, armed robbery, strongarm robbery, kidnapping, and false impersonation of an official. He was arrested by ICE on May 2, 2025.

Jose Manuel Rodriguez-Quinones, a citizen of Cuba. He has convictions for attempted first degree murder with a weapon, battery, larceny, cocaine possession, and cocaine trafficking. He was arrested by ICE on April 30, 2025.

Thongxay Nilakout, a citizen of Laos. He has convictions for first-degree murder and robbery. He was arrested by ICE on January 26, 2025.

Jesus Munoz-Gutierrez, a citizen of Mexico. He has a conviction for second-degree murder. He was arrested by ICE on May 12, 2025.

Dian Peter Domach, a citizen of South Sudan. He has convictions for robbery, possession of a firearm, possession of burglar’s tools, possession of a defaced firearm, and driving under the influence. He was arrested by ICE on May 8, 2024.

Kyaw Mya, a citizen of Burma. He has a conviction for lascivious acts with a child victim less than 12 years of age. He was arrested by ICE on February 18, 2025.

Nyo Myint, a citizen of Burma. He has a conviction for first-degree sexual assault involving a victim mentally and physically incapable of resisting and has also been charged with aggravated assault (non-family strongarm). He was arrested by ICE on February 19, 2025.

Tuan Thanh Phan, a citizen of Vietnam. He has convictions for first-degree murder and second-degree assault. He was arrested by ICE on May 3, 2025.

“A local judge in Massachusetts is trying to force the United States to bring back these uniquely barbaric monsters who present a clear and present threat to the safety of the American people and American victims. While we are fully compliant with the law and court orders, it is absolutely absurd for a district judge to try and dictate the foreign policy and national security of the United States of America,” said Assistant Secretary McLaughlin.

Michigan Judge Fights Lipreader Evidence which might prove she Lied to Cops after Assaulting Shopkeeper, Alleging Hate Hoax

In a misconduct saga that’s dragged on longer than most felonies, a Michigan judge accused of faking an assault allegation and charge of racism against a small businessman, wants key evidence thrown out, including silent surveillance footage and expert lip readers that might prove she lied to police.

Judge Demetria Brue of Detroit’s 36th District Court is fighting misconduct charges from the state’s Judicial Tenure Commission over a 2019 dispute with a Mackinac Island bike shop owner that she accused of being a racist. The Commission has said they are upset about two things: 1) that the judges lied about the encounter, and 2) that they attempted to use their status as judges to evade prosecution, both of which are against the rules for judges.

Documents reveal that the significant delay has been caused by repeated motions filed by the two judges challenging the process and power of the commission to censure them.

The shop owner, Ira Green, operates a bike rental business on Michigan’s Mackinac Island, and rented to two judges who were sightseeing during a judicial conference being held on the island.

The JTC says Brue falsely claimed the shop owner assaulted her during what was supposed to be a $23 sightseeing trip along with another Michigan judge, Judge Debra Nance of Southfield, Michigan. The Detroit Judge Brue wanted half off the price of the bike rental because of a complaint about how the bike handled, and then grabbed the receipt after, allegedly, calling the shop owner racist.

After assaulting the shop owner, Judge Brue allegedly said:

“You assaulted me. Did you just assault me? You took my receipt and tore it up. I want the police. … I am a judge. … I am an African-American female. That was racist, and it was disrespectful and it was violent.”

Judge Brue denies this was said, and the controversy is over whether or not the Commission was going to be able to bring in lipreaders to determine what she said on the silent audio.

The special master originally appointed by the Judicial Tenure Commission had previously tried to dismiss the complaint against the two judges, but the Michigan Disciplinary Council appealed that decision, reinstating charges against the judges.

Judges nationwide have been under greater scrutiny in recent years as the public has noted a rise in judicial misconduct. Judges, critics say, have an attitude that they are above the law and that the rules do not apply to them. Notable incidents include a long list of federal judges who have attempted to stop Trump policies and actions, including federal Judge Boasberg stopping immigration enforcement and the deportation of violent illegal immigrants, a case that was ultimately overruled by the appellate court and Supreme Court.

And even recently former FBI Director James Comey was seen encouraging the assassination of President Trump and then acting as though he didn’t know that the code “8647” referenced “86ing” the nation’s “47”th President Donald Trump.

In Michigan, the police declined to accept the assault charges that Judge Brue attempted to file against the shop owner. Security cameras verify much of what the shop owner says. However verbal statements by the Judge during the altercation are in dispute. The shop owner claims the judge said she was a judge during the altercation, using her office as a way to get out of paying the full price, and out of trouble when she escalated the conflict.

And if true, that would be a major violation of the code of judicial ethics.

Now, as a disciplinary hearing looms next month, Judge Brue’s legal team is going after the central evidence: the silent video footage from the shop and the two expert lip readers prosecutors intend to call to interpret what was allegedly said.

Brue’s attorneys: Philip J. Thomas, Jeffrey L. Edison, and Christine Pagac, call the footage “unfairly edited” and argue that lip-reading has no scientific reliability as expert testimony.

“This should not be the Michigan test case for the introduction of speech-reading evidence,” they wrote in a motion filed this month. They also took a jab at the length and cost of the case, writing, “What should have been a fun sightseeing adventure that would cost them $23.34 has dragged into this nearly six-year Judicial Tenure Commission proceeding, costing the taxpayers of this state thousands of dollars.”

The disciplinary hearing is scheduled for June 9 through 13 before retired judge and former state lawmaker Alexander Lipsey, who’s serving as Special Master in the case.

The JTC says Brue and fellow Southfield District Judge Debra Nance, who witnessed the incident, made false statements about what happened at the shop. Among the allegations: Brue claimed she feared for her life, but Nance testified she never heard Brue say that.

Nance, whose own hearing is set for June 16 through 20, allegedly contradicted herself at least nine times in sworn testimony about whether they spoke to police on the island.

The shop’s video, though lacking audio, reportedly shows a heated dispute. According to investigators, the shop owner says Brue loudly accused him of racism, said “You assaulted me,” and invoked her judicial position in demanding police involvement.

Brue and Nance claim they were the ones mistreated both by the bike shop staff and by local police, whom they say dismissed their complaints.

In another twist, Brue is seeking dismissal of a charge that she failed to cooperate with the JTC investigation, and is demanding access to a 59-page handwritten memo summarizing witness interviews. Brue alleges the memo includes exculpatory material, like whether staff accused her and Nance of trying to scam a free bike ride, and highlights discrepancies between the handwritten and typed versions.

The Michigan Supreme Court has ordered that both hearings be wrapped up by July 1.

With no audio, no agreement on what was said, and no clear resolution after six years, the case may hinge on whether silent video and lip readers can determine whether this Michigan judge lied about what was said, what she did, and lied about supposed racism about a Mackinac Island shopkeeper who simply wanted her to pay for riding a bike.

BREAKING: Biden Judge Rules Trump Admin Defied Court Order when it Deported Criminal Aliens to South Sudan, Suggests Admin Committed Criminal Contempt

A federal judge on Wednesday ruled that the Trump Administration violated his court order when it deported seven illegal aliens to South Sudan.

US District Judge Brian Murphy, a Biden appointee, said the Trump Administration violated his court order to provide the aliens with “meaningful” due process since they were being sent to “third-party” countries.

Some of the aliens are from Laos, Vietnam, and the Philippines, so sending them to South Sudan puts them in danger, attorneys argued.

Judge Murphy suggested Trump Admin officials may have committed contempt, but he stopped short of taking action.

Politico reported:

The Trump administration “unquestionably” violated a court order when it abruptly deported seven men to South Sudan, a federal judge ruled Wednesday, suggesting that administration officials may have committed criminal contempt.

U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy accused immigration officials of flagrantly defying his directives to provide “meaningful” due process to people they are trying to deport to countries where they have no ties and could face violence.

“It was impossible for these people to have a meaningful opportunity to object to their transfer to South Sudan,” said Murphy, a Boston-based Biden appointee.

The ruling comes after the Department of Homeland Security went off on Judge Murphy, a district judge who is trying to dictate foreign policy.

DHS spox Tricia McLaughlin went off on Judge Murphy.
