How migrant gang Tren de Aragua became a vicious criminal force across America

By Jennie Tae and Jorge Fitz-Gibbon | New York Post A one-time Venezuelan prison gang has erupted into a multinational migrant crime syndicate that is ravaging the US — and is the subject of more than 100 police investigations across the nation. Tren de Aragua, a vicious South American gang that sneaked into the US among the millions of migrants who have crossed the border, is peddling drugs, guns and women across the 50 states — from urban centers like New York and Chicago to Florida beaches and once-tranquil Middle America. In Colorado, the gang even got a “green light” to shoot at cops, according to a federal memo. “I would say that like six months ago, their organized presence wasn’t so obvious on the border,” a Texas law enforcement source told The Post. “Bu...

Georgia school received early warning about shooter before attack

By Maddie Rhodes | New York Post The mother of Georgia school shooting suspect Colt Gray claimed that teachers had noticed her son was making references to violence at the school — even before she called to warn administrators about him. “The counselor said, ‘I wanted to let you know that earlier this morning, one of Colt’s teachers had sent me an email saying Colt had been making references to school shootings,'” Marcee Gray told ABC News in a video interview from her home. “Between my gut feelings, the text messages, and now this email, you need to, like, run to the classroom,” she said.

Legal scholar Alan Dershowitz renounces Democratic Party, cites ‘anti-Jewish’ lawmakers at DNC

By Victor Nava | New York Post Renowned legal scholar Alan Dershowitz recently announced that he is leaving the Democratic Party, after being “disgusted” by what he witnessed at last month’s Democratic National Convention.  The retired Harvard Law School professor, who is a longtime self-described liberal Democrat, told radio host Zev Brenner on Aug. 23 that he felt the Chicago gathering was “the worst convention in American history” because of the number of speakers who have publicly expressed opposition to Israel.  “They had more anti-Jewish, anti-Zionist people who were speaking, starting with [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] – a miserable, anti-Zionist bigot,” Dershowitz said during an appearance on “Talkline with Zev Brenner.” “Then of course they had [Sen. Elizabeth] War...

Hunter Biden says he pleaded guilty in $1.4M tax evasion case to ‘spare’ family from ‘embarrassment’

By Paul Bois | New York Post Hunter Biden pleaded guilty in his tax evasion case to “spare” his family from the “needless embarrassment” of having to go through a second trial — and endure even more evidence of his seedy behavior while hooked on drugs. The twice-convicted first son shocked a Los Angeles courtroom Thursday when he unexpectedly copped to an entire tax evasion case, which could land him behind bars for up to 17 years, as jury selection was about to start. “I will not subject my family to more pain, more invasions of privacy and needless embarrassment,” President Biden’s son said in a statement Thursday. “For all I have put them through over the years, I can spare them this, and so I have decided to plead guilty.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK ...

Ex-Hochul and Cuomo aide and husband worked as foreign agents for China

By Vaughn Golden, Ben Kochman and Matt Troutman | New York Post The former high-ranking aide for Gov. Kathy Hochul who was arrested along with her husband Tuesday acted as a foreign agent for China in exchange for millions of dollars in kickbacks and fancy perks such as salted duck, according to a bombshell indictment. The damning 64-page indictment accuses Linda Sun, 41, and her husband, Christopher Hu, 40, of spending their shady gains on a gaudy new $4 million house in Manhasset, a $2 million second home in a Honolulu high-rise and luxury cars such as a 2024 Ferrari. Sun shadily used her position under Hochul and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo — who are unnamed but clearly referenced in the court documents — to turn the governor’s office into a virtual mouthpiece for t...

By Olivia Land | New York Post The heartbroken family of slain Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin paid tribute to their bright, “beautiful” son and brother at his packed funeral service in Jerusalem. “Hersh, we all failed you. You would not have failed you. You would have pushed harder to justice,” Jon Polin addressed the late 23-year-old during his address at the Givat Shaul cemetery. Polin evoked his son’s spirit with a Torah verse that called on one to find a close teacher and counselor, and to give all people the benefit of the doubt. READ MORE AT THE NEW YORK POST
