Disturbing message shooter, 27, wrote on side of car before opening fire on border agents near airport in ambush
A CHILLING message was spray-painted on the side of the supposed car of a gunman who was shot dead after ambushing border patrol agents this morning. The man, identified as 27-year-old Ryan Louis Mosqueda, was killed on Monday after shooting at officials with a gun near a Texas airport. 2 2 The motive remains unclear. Mosqueda was shot and killed by agents during the shootout, according to McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez. A McAllen police officer was injured in the knee but will be fine, police said. The Federal Bureau of Investigation tweeted that in total, two officers and one Border Patrol employee was injured. All three were taken to the hospital. The shooter had been reported missing just hours earlier from Weslaco, Texas. The car held more guns and ammunition, according to police, with what officials believe to be Latin writing inside of the vehicle. He was also carrying a backpack with more ammunition, Rodriguez said. On the side of a white Chevy photographed near the scene, the words "Cordis Die" was written in black spray paint across the driver side door. Although it is unclear exactly what "Cordis Die" stood for in this circumstance, the term is featured in 2012's Call of Duty: Black Ops II, a popular shooter video game, and stands for "Heart Day" in Latin.

Game publisher Activision did not immediately respond to a request for comment. "The threats are always looming, they're always present, and incidents like these make us realize that we've always got to be on guard," Rodriguez said. "I think I speak for everybody here, the world is much smaller than we think sometimes." He was carrying a Michigan driver's license, police said, and had Michigan plates on his vehicle. The shooting resulted in delays for flights at the McAllen Airport. 'I cannot tell you how many rounds were fired from the suspect, but there were many, many, many dozens of rounds fired by the suspect toward the building and toward agents in that building," Rodriguez said. "We have no reason to believe at this point in time that there are any more threats in this area." The FBI is now leading the investigation. "It takes events like these to really wake you up and say, you know what we're really, really tiny in terms of the world," Rodriguez said.

Man with assault rifle killed after shooting at Texas border patrol facility
A man with an assault rifle fired dozens of rounds at federal agents and a US border patrol facility in Texas on Monday, injuring a police officer, before authorities shot and killed him. Authorities identified the shooter as Ryan Louis Mosqueda, believed to be 27, who they said shot at agents exiting the building, which is near the US-Mexico border. McAllen police chief, Victor Rodriguez, said Mosqueda had a 'utility vest' in addition to the rifle when federal agents returned fire. Hours before the attack in McAllen, Mosqueda's father was stopped by Weslaco police at about 2.30am for a traffic violation, according to police spokesperson Heriberto Caraveo. The father told police that he was looking for his son, who he said had psychological issues and was carrying weapons in his car, Caraveo told the Associated Press. Police say the white two-door sedan that Mosqueda drove to the facility had letters painted – possibly in Latin – on the driver's side door. 'What it means, or whether or not it is an underlying reason for him being here, I do not know,' Rodriguez said when asked about the graffiti. After Mosqueda was killed, law enforcement found other weaponry, ammunition and backpacks inside the vehicle. 'There are many, many more rounds of ammunition in his backpack,' Rodriguez said. Rodriguez said his department received a call about the shooting around 5:50am One officer who responded to the shooting, a 10-year veteran, was injured after being struck in the knee. Rodriguez said it was unclear if the injury was from shrapnel or a bullet. Police say Mosqueda was linked to a Michigan address, but was reported missing from a Weslaco, Texas, address around 4am Monday. Weslaco is about 20 miles (32km) from the border patrol facility. 'An hour and a few minutes later, he was at this particular location opening fire on the federal building and our federal agents,' Rodriguez said. The exact details of the missing person report were not immediately shared with the media. Rodriguez said there is no ongoing threat to the public, but it is unknown if any other people were involved in the attack. He said the motive and events leading up to the attack are part of the ongoing investigation, which the FBI is taking the lead on. The attack comes as Donald Trump 's administration ramps up deportations, which will be turbocharged by a sweeping spending bill that became law last week. Stephen Miller, the president's deputy chief of staff and chief architect of his immigration policies, recently set a target of at least 3,000 immigration arrests a day, up from about 650 a day during the first five months of the administration.

Fox News' Peter Doocy corners Karoline Leavitt on Pam Bondi's broken Epstein ‘client list' promise
With much of the MAGAverse irate over the Trump administration's conclusion that disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein killed himself and didn't possess an explosive 'client list,' Fox News' Peter Doocy grilled Karoline Leavitt about Attorney General Pam Bondi's previous 'Epstein file' claims. 'So what happened to the Epstein client list that the attorney general said she had on her desk?' Doocy wondered during Monday's White House press briefing. Bondi, who has faced the brunt of conservatives' wrath for failing to deliver on her past promises of releasing a 'truckload' of bombshell FBI documents on Epstein, told Fox News in late February that she literally had possession of the convicted sex offender's supposed black book of prominent figures who engaged in illegal sexual activities. 'It's sitting on my desk right now to review,' the attorney general told Fox News anchor John Roberts at the time. 'That's been a directive by President Trump.' Following a much-maligned photo-op where she handed MAGA influencers binders full of already-public documents about the Epstein case, Bondi attempted to save face in an early March appearance on Sean Hannity's primetime Fox News show. Suggesting a 'deep state' coverup was to blame for the earlier botched release, Bondi then insisted that the FBI had just given her and FBI Director Kash Patel a treasure trove of never-before-seen information. 'A truckload of evidence arrived. It's now in the possession of the FBI,' she breathlessly told Hannity. 'Kash is going to get me and himself, really, a detailed report as to why all these documents and evidence had been withheld.' This week, however, the Department of Justice and FBI released a two-page unsigned memo concluding that the agencies had found no evidence that Epstein was murdered in his jail cell while awaiting trial in 2019. Additionally, they were unable to find any list of powerful clients that Epstein was attempting to blackmail for having sex with underage girls. In the end, despite Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino being frequent purveyors of Epstein conspiracy theories as right-wing media figures, the DOJ and FBI stated that no one else involved with the Epstein case would be charged. Naturally, the FBI leaders and Bondi have come under fire from the MAGA media ecosystem over their handling of the Epstein probe – which carried over to Monday's White House presser. Responding to a Newsmax reporter asking what she would tell Trump supporters who say they want anyone involved in Epstein's alleged crimes to be held accountable, Leavitt claimed that the administration was 'committed to truth' and had investigated the matter thoroughly. 'They committed to an exhaustive investigation, that's what they did, and they provided the results of that. That's transparency,' the White House press secretary noted. Doocy, however, followed up by bringing up Bondi's past declarations about being in possession of specific evidence in the federal Epstein case, and wondered why the attorney general now claims these documents do not exist. 'The FBI looked at the circumstances surrounding the death of Jeffrey Epstein,' the Fox News correspondent stated. 'According to the report, this systematic review revealed no incriminating client list. So what happened to the Epstein client list that the attorney general said she had on her desk?' After Leavitt attempted to reframe what Bondi had said during her Fox News interview, Doocy cut her off and confronted her with the attorney general's exact quotes. 'John Roberts said, 'DOJ may be releasing a list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients, will that really happen?' And she said, 'It's sitting on my desk right now to review,'' Doocy flatly said. 'She was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork and relation to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, that's what the attorney general was referring to and I will let her speak for that,' Leavitt deflected, adding: 'But when it comes to the FBI and the Department of Justice, they are more than committed to ensuring that bad people are put behind bars.' Since the release of the memo, Bondi has been ripped by a number of MAGA loyalists who are incensed about her overhyping the release of the Epstein documents while failing to prosecute influential figures, calling for her to resign or be fired. On top of that, former 'first buddy' Elon Musk has said the DOJ memo is the 'final straw,' as he now vows to start a new political party after reigniting his public feud with Trump.
