Forbes reported the handwritten missive is also allegedly an admission that his attempt to do so had failed. The note said, “This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you…I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster.” Routh allegedly added, “I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.” The note was allegedly contained in a box which Routh gave to an unidentified person and which was not opened until after Routh’s arrest following the alleged assassination attempt.

Here’s how a Venezuelan gang was able to infiltrate the U.S. and wreak havoc in major cities

By Wallace White | Daily Caller A notorious Venezuelan gang is extending its tentacles into the U.S. on the back of the Biden-Harris administration’s border crisis, and experts say that immigration authorities have no way of identifying the criminal group’s members before they hit American soil. The gang, known as Tren de Aragua, has made headlines in recent weeks with its criminal activities in multiple states, according to multiple reports. Yet, border authorities have virtually zero tools to detect Venezuelan migrants’ affiliations with the gang, as the U.S.’ diplomatic relationship with the beleaguered country is effectively on ice, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “We have next to no vetting for the Venezuelans who are entering the country, because we have no re...

100 license plate readers equals 100 arrests of suspects on varius charges, Denver police say

By Maddie Rhodes | Fox 31 News License plate readers are continuing to be installed around Denver, and with almost 100 readers around the city, police have been able to arrest over 100 suspects on various criminal charges. The city’s plan to install over 100 license plate readers was announced in January as part of an initiative to crack down on auto theft. Since the installation, the Denver Police Department said there have already been success stories. Police released the Flock Safety Transparency Portal, which allows residents to see which law enforcement agencies have access to the data, prohibited uses of the information, what’s not detected and other information.

Secret Service boss says vital info not relayed over radio, delaying response to would-be rally assassin

By Michael Ruiz and David Spunt | Fox News U.S. Secret Service (USSS) leaders are holding a 1 p.m. update on the agency's internal investigation following the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Acting Director Ronald Rowe said the agency had confirmed "communication deficiencies" that slowed its response when the gunman climbed up on a rooftop just outside the secure perimeter. "For example, the Secret Service did not co-locate its security room with local law enforcement," he said. "There was an over-reliance on mobile devices, resulting in information being siloed."

House votes to increase Secret Service protections for Presidential contenders Trump, Harris

By Tracy Ross | Washington Examiner The House voted unanimously to increase Secret Service protections for presidential candidates, giving them the same level of security as sitting presidents while traveling on the campaign trail.  Lawmakers passed a resolution in a 405-0 vote on Friday that would enhance protections for former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris with rare, widespread bipartisan support. The legislation comes in response to the two assassination attempts against Trump during this cycle, which prompted condemnations from both sides of the aisle to crack down on political violence.  “This is not a partisan issue,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said this week. “We have a nominee for president that’s probably the most threatened...

Lara Trump details how ‘military-age men’ use children to cross border

By Jamie Joseph | Washington Examiner Republican National Committee Co-Chairwoman Lara Trump detailed a tactic she said illegal immigrants are using to cross over the border, which involves using “the same child” repeatedly for different crossings. Trump recently toured the southern border to see the border crisis herself, during which she “learned a lot.” She explained that the number of women who are sexually assaulted while crossing the border is close to over 50%, a “much higher” number than what is reported. “I learned a term ‘recycled child,’ that’s a child that the Border Patrol sees four, five, six, maybe even seven times,” Trump said on Fox News’s Hannity. “The same child coming over the border with different military-aged men so that those men ca...

Biden-Harris immigration programs admit 1.3 million migrants, including gang members and terror suspects

By Jennie Taer | New York Post Just five months before Luis Miguel Calzadilla-Rojas — a Venezuelan migrant and alleged Tren de Aragua gangbanger — was arrested after a shooting outside a probation office in Aurora, Colorado, he was welcomed into the US — thanks to a controversial immigration program launched by the Biden-Harris administration. Calzadilla-Rojas entered the country using CBP One — an app that is designed to allow asylum seekers a legal pathway to entry into America. He’s just one of 1.3 million migrants who have come into the country through legal routes created by the Biden-Harris admin in less than two years. READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT THE NEW YORK POST
