Previously deported Brazilian woman charged with sex crimes against Massachusetts child
A Brazilian woman in the United States illegally and charged with sex crimes against a Massachusetts child has been handed over to federal custody, authorities said Monday.
Ilma Leandro De Oliveira, 53, was arrested in Falmouth, 70 miles south of Boston, on March 20 by agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the FBI, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
"Ilma Leandro De Oliveira is charged with seven different crimes regarding the sexual victimization of a child in our Massachusetts community," said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde. "These are crimes we simply will not tolerate."
De Oliveira was arrested by U.S. Border Patrol agents on Sept. 20, 2007, after she illegally entered the United States near Laredo, Texas. She was served with a notice and order of expedited removal and deported on Dec. 27, 2007.
She illegally re-entered the U.S. at an unknown date and location, ICE said.
She was arraigned on March 18 in a Falmouth court for rape of a child, reckless endangerment of a child, indecent exposure, indecent assault and battery on a child under 14, unnatural acts with a child, aggravated statutory rape of a child, and incest.
De Oliveira was handed over to the U.S. Marshals Services last week and will be prosecuted for illegal entry into the U.S. after being deported.

CIA analyst who leaked Israeli military plans gets three years in prison
A former CIA analyst who leaked highly classified records about Israeli plans for a military strike on Iran, which spread quickly through social media last year, was sentenced Wednesday to three years and one month in prison. Asif W. Rahman pleaded guilty to two counts of violating the Espionage Act, admitting that he leaked more than a dozen classified documents while working as a CIA analyst. He was arrested last year after FBI investigators traced the download of two records detailing Israeli military preparations to Rahman's workstation at the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

ICE agents chase farmworkers during latest raid in California: video
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents chased after migrants working at California farms in the latest set of raids that triggered days of protests. Footage uploaded to Instagram from a produce farm in the city of Oxnard, about 70 miles northwest from the riots in Los Angeles, shows the moment ICE agents target a man working in the misty fields Tuesday morning. The farmworker attempts to flee from the two officers, who easily chase him down and handcuff him on the ground. 4 ICE agents chased after a farmworker in Oxnard, California, on Tuesday. ABC7 4 The arrest was one of dozens taking place on Ventura County farms. ABC7 The arrest was just one of several that took place Tuesday in Ventura County with the help of the FBI, leading to protests and anxiety in Southern California. Daniel Larios — of the United Farm Workers Foundation, a nonprofit that advocates for all farm workers in the US — said the wave of arrests is not targeting violent criminals, but workers who maintain the Golden State's agriculture. 'They're just taking innocent people who are trying to build their own American Dream,' Larios told ABC 7. 'This is not law enforcement. It's a campaign of fear against people whose only 'crime' is living and working in the US.' 4 The FBI's Los Angeles office said it assisted with the arrests in Ventura County on Tuesday. FBI Los Angeles/Instagram Oxnard Mayor Luis McArthur condemned the raids as 'unjustified and harmful,' claiming the arrests have done nothing to improve public safety, only 'create chaos.' It remains unclear how many people were detained during the joint operation with ICE and the FBI's Los Angeles office, but the Farm Bureau of Ventura County — which represents local farmers, ranchers and agricultural businesses — said dozens of immigrant workers were arrested. The farmworkers' arrests triggered protests outside Oxnard City Hall, with hundreds calling for the migrants to be released and for ICE agents to exit the county. 4 Oxnard residents protested ICE's arrests and presence in Ventura County. NBC4 Oxnard Police Department Chief Jason Benites has said his department does not take part in, or assist, ICE's activity. Southern California has become the hotbed for the Trump administration's immigration raids, which kicked off five days of violent protests across Los Angeles that have pitted Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom against President Trump. The escalated violence led LA Mayor Karen Bass to implement a curfew on Tuesday night after days of riots, looting and clashes between protesters and police, which has resulted in more than 150 arrests.

AOC downplays LA riots as mere 'teens' throwing rocks, pins blame on Trump
"Squad" Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., downplayed the recent riots in Los Angeles, attributing the chaos to unruly teens – not violent anarchists – and blaming former President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown for the unrest. Ocasio-Cortez took to the social media platform Bluesky on Tuesday and said Democrats don't need to "answer for every teen who throws a rock" and that her party was falling into a Republican trap by trying to explain why parts of the sanctuary city had gone up in flames. She instead blamed President Trump for the chaotic scenes that have resulted in property burned and rocks and Molotov cocktails thrown at law enforcement as some agitators waved Mexican flags. California Sheriff Says Newsom 'Encouraged' La Riots As Ice Arrests Violent Illegal Aliens The ugly scenes that kicked off on Friday prompted Trump to deploy the National Guard and the U.S. Marines. "It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence," Ocasio-Cortez wrote. "They are in charge." Read On The Fox News App Rioters have been seen throwing rocks on police cars and at police while one violent individual was caught on video pelting several moving law enforcement vehicles in Paramount, California, as they drove past him. Federal Officials Slam Democrats For 'Dangerous' Rhetoric As Ice Agents Face Violent Mobs In La, Nyc He was identified as Elpidio Reyna, and an image of Reyna released by U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli clearly shows he is an adult. He is still at large and the FBI initially offered a $50,000 cash reward for information leading to his arrest. In a second post, Ocasio-Cortez blamed Trump for the unrest, writing that his decision to send Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) out to apprehend illegal migrants triggered the response in Los Angeles. Trump swept to victory in November promising to carry out the largest deportation effort in U.S. history and arrested more than 66,000 people and deported approximately 65,000 in the first 100 days of his second presidency. "Everything was fine until Trump decided to unleash violent raids w/o grounds in elementary schools, shopping areas, & peaceful public spaces. ICE then illegally blocked Members of Congress entry into the facilities they are disappearing people into, escalating the situation," Ocasio-Cortez wrote, referring to members of Congress recently turning up at a New Jersey ICE detention center unannounced. "Let's start there," Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Bluesky, a competitor to X. She did not post her comments to X and instead shared the bluesky posts to her Instagram stories. Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday announced that ICE arrested a previously deported illegal immigrant from Mexico after he allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement amid rioting in Los Angeles on June 7. He's been charged with attempted murder. Rioters have also set off fireworks at police officers and vehicles, vandalized property with graffiti, looted businesses and smashed windows of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) headquarters. California Gov. Gavin Newson and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass have also tried to pin the blame on Trump. The president and his allies, meanwhile, maintain that he acted boldly and that the situation would have escalated further had he not done so. "If our troops didn't go into Los Angeles, it would be burning to the ground right now, just like so much of their housing burned to the ground," Trump posted to Truth Social on Wednesday morning. "The great people of Los Angeles are very lucky that I made the decision to go in and help!!!"Original article source: AOC downplays LA riots as mere 'teens' throwing rocks, pins blame on Trump
