Pic: Al-Qaeda terrorist suspect arrested by feds in Philadelphia
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials recently arrested a Russian national who is allegedly a member of the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization. Officials said the ICE arrest took place in May in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In a Tuesday press release, ICE confirmed that officials had arrested a 'Tajikistan-born Russian national who is wanted overseas.' According to ICE, Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Philadelphia worked in coordination with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to arrest the 39-year-old Russian national in the early morning on May 23 in Philadelphia. 'Earlier this month, Tajikistan officials declared this individual a fugitive, wanted for organization of a criminal community. It is alleged that he is or was a member of Al-Qaeda,' ICE stated. 'After his arrest, this individual was detained in ICE custody, where he will remain pending removal from the U.S.' According to ICE officials, the 39-year-old Russian national and Al-Qaeda terrorist suspect was first encountered under former President Joe Biden's administration on March 21, 2023, at the San Ysidro Pedestrian West entry point along the southern border.

As a result, the Russian national was paroled into the United States and given a notice to appear in front of an immigration judge. In the press release, ERO Philadelphia acting Field Office Director Brian McShane said that arresting individuals connected to Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations reaffirms the agency's 'unwavering commitment to safeguard the homeland.' 'Through close collaboration with our outstanding partners at the FBI, we have taken decisive action to make our communities safer and prevent potential threats to the American people,' McShane said. 'I commend the dedicated men and women of ICE and the FBI for their tireless efforts and steadfast resolve in protecting this great nation.' A picture of the recent ICE arrest in partnership with the FBI was shared by ERO Philadelphia on X, formerly Twitter.

Corrupt Cop Who Leaked To Proud Boys Learns His Fate
Shane Lamond, the former leader of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department's intelligence division, will spend 18 months in prison for leaking information ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol to Henry 'Enrique' Tarrio, the leader of the far-right Proud Boys. U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced Lamond on Friday morning. Tarrio is a free man after President Donald Trump pardoned him in January. Tarrio had been sentenced to serve 22 years in prison for seditious conspiracy charges but instead was in the courthouse on Friday, watching the proceedings. Also present was Oath Keepers leader Elmer Stewart Rhodes. Like Tarrio, Rhodes was charged and convicted of seditious conspiracy. Trump commuted Rhodes' 18-year sentence. Lamond was found guilty last year of obstruction of justice and lying to federal investigators at the FBI and Department of Justice after a bench trial before Jackson in Washington, D.C. He waived his right to a jury trial. Prosecutors originally sought a sentence of four years. The FBI and DOJ opened a probe into Lamond's conduct in 2021 after the December 2020 burning of a Black Lives Matter banner at a historic Black church in Washington, D.C. Tarrio was charged with destroying the banner and sentenced to five months in prison. At Lamond's trial, prosecutors said it was thanks to Lamond that Tarrio was tipped off about the banner investigation and learned that a warrant for his arrest was incoming. At trial, prosecutors accused Lamond of telling Tarrio that police had footage of Tarrio burning the banner and warning him that the FBI and Secret Service were 'all spun up' about the Proud Boys' presence in Washington. Tarrio had appeared on Infowars and said members of the extremist group would start prowling public events incognito or dressed up as supporters of Joe Biden. Lamond kept that conversation — and many others — from his colleagues at the department who were pursuing the banner probe. One omission included a meeting of Tarrio and Lamond just three days after the banner burning. Ahead of the meeting, Tarrio pressed Lamond about how the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department perceived the Proud Boys. Lamond wouldn't say over text. Instead, he asked Tarrio to meet him for a beer at a local bar. Lamond denied ever hearing a confession from Tarrio that night at the bar or at any other time in their communications leading up to Jan. 6. When Tarrio took the stand at Lamond's trial, the Proud Boys leader denied ever making a confession to Lamond but stumbled when prosecutors presented him with a secret Telegram chat. The chat showed Tarrio asking Lamond if police would add the hate crime enhancement to the destruction charge and Lamond telling him he had been asking supervisors at MPD about it. The intelligence division chief told Tarrio that if he were going to be charged with a hate crime, then police would have to start investigating hate crime charges for Trump flags burned in the district. From the witness stand, Tarrio smirked and told the courtroom: 'Whoever said this is a genius because he is right.' Records showed that Lamond and Tarrio spoke for months over text, sharing at least 500 texts. They typically used iMessage or Google to chat. But after the 2020 election, Lamond asked Tarrio to move their conversations to an encrypted texting app. A forensic review of Lamond's and Tarrio's devices showed many of the messages in the encrypted app were set to delete automatically, something a law enforcement officer would not typically do, or be encouraged to do, when engaging with a confidential human source. Lamond's supervisors also told the judge during the trial that using Telegram to speak with a source secretly, or disclosing investigators were 'all spun up' was something that would have never been authorized by the department. FBI agents who testified about the texts between the men said the imbalance in Lamond's relationship with Tarrio was clear: Tarrio rarely provided useful information to Lamond about Proud Boys activities or whereabouts that weren't already available through Tarrio's own social media posts. Messages on Tarrio's device showed him telling fellow Proud Boys that he knew the warrant was incoming thanks to his D.C. cop contact. The knowledge, according to prosecutors, allowed Tarrio to coordinate his arrest on Jan. 4, 2021, giving him a helpful alibi for his whereabouts on Jan. 6. He was only held in jail briefly, however, and then he was ordered out of Washington, D.C. Tarrio obliged; he left D.C. and headed to a hotel room in Baltimore, Maryland, where he watched the rioting unfold and cheered on Proud Boys from afar online and in private discussions. As Lamond sat right across from him inside Jackson's courtroom last year, Tarrio said he had lied to fellow Proud Boys about knowing the warrant was coming. It was a sort of 'marketing ploy,' Tarrio said, because he knew it would invigorate and excite members of the extremist group. Lamond has denied being a 'double agent' and denied having any sympathy for the Proud Boys. This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
