EXCLUSIVE: Illegal alien whose deportation was paused by ‘activist' judge sexually assaulted a disabled woman
EXCLUSIVE: The Trump Department of Homeland Security is calling out a Biden-appointed "activist" judge in Massachusetts who paused the deportation of an illegal alien who DHS says sexually assaulted a disabled woman with the mental capacity of a 3-year-old. The DHS shared a filing from the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry that says Burmese illegal Nyo Myint was convicted of attempted first-degree sexual assault of an individual incapable of consent. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital that Myint, who was living in Lincoln, Nebraska, sexually assaulted a 26-year-old woman "with the mental capacity of a 3-year-old." "This 'Lincoln man' is an illegal alien and one of the monsters that the activist Massachusetts district judge is trying to bring back to the United States after he was deported yesterday," McLaughlin said. Immigration Expert Warns Chinese Illegal Aliens Using Canadian City As Gateway To Us DHS has said Myint had a final order of removal issued against him Aug. 17, 2023. Read On The Fox News App U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy of Massachusetts issued the ruling Tuesday night, ordering President Donald Trump's administration to maintain custody of eight illegal immigrants deported to South Sudan in case he rules the removals unlawful and they must be transferred back to the U.S. Murphy's ruling said the government must "maintain custody and control of class members currently being removed to South Sudan or to any other third country, to ensure the practical feasibility of return if the Court finds that such removals were unlawful." After the ruling, McLaughlin called the decision "deranged," saying "these depraved individuals have all had their day in court and been given final deportation orders." Mom Of Girl Allegedly Killed By Illegals Says Wildlife Refuge Renaming 'Means The World' To Family "A reminder of who was on this plane: murderers, child rapists, an individual who raped a mentally and physically disabled person," McLaughlin added. "The message this activist judge is sending to victims and their families is we don't care. President Trump and Secretary Noem are working every day to get vicious criminals out of our country while activist judges are fighting to bring them back onto American soil." Click Here For More Immigration Coverage According to DHS, the other illegals on the plane were Enrique Arias-Hierro, a Cuban national convicted of homicide and other crimes; Jose Manuel Rodriguez-Quinones, another Cuban convicted of attempted first-degree murder with a weapon; Thongxay Nilakout, a citizen of Laos, convicted of first-degree murder and robbery; Jesus Munoz-Gutierrez, a Mexican national convicted of second-degree murder; Dian Peter Domach, a citizen of South Sudan convicted of robbery and possession of a firearm; Kyaw Mya, a citizen of Burma convicted of lascivious acts with a child victim less than 12 years of age; and Tuan Thanh Phan, a Vietnamese national convicted of first-degree murder. The White House also issued a statement in response, saying the ruling is "another attempt by a far-left activist judge to dictate the foreign policy of the United States — and protect the violent criminal illegal immigrants President Donald J. Trump and his administration have removed from our streets." Ice Captures Illegal Immigrant Wanted For Allegedly Killing Mother In Dui Crash Trump chimed in on Truth Social, saying the ruling has forced the deportation flight to pause in Djibouti. Trump slammed Murphy as "a Federal Judge in Boston, who knew absolutely nothing about the situation, or anything else," and "ordered that EIGHT of the most violent criminals on Earth curtail their journey to South Sudan." The president urged the Supreme Court to end the trend of judges inhibiting his administration's deportation agenda. "The Judges are absolutely out of control, they're hurting our Country, and they know nothing about particular situations, or what they are doing — And this must change, IMMEDIATELY!" he said. "Hopefully, the Supreme Court of the United States will put an END to the quagmire that has been caused by the Radical Left."Original article source: EXCLUSIVE: Illegal alien whose deportation was paused by 'activist' judge sexually assaulted a disabled woman

A look at the deportees on plane that headed for South Sudan from US
Judge Brian E. Murphy in Boston ordered Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'No country on Earth wanted to accept them because their crimes are so uniquely monstrous and barbaric,' said Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security. Advertisement These are the migrants who were part of the deportation flight. SOUTH SUDAN: Dian Peter Domach The only man from South Sudan on the flight was 33-year-old Dian Peter Domach. He was convicted in 2013 of robbery, for which he was sentenced to 8 to 14 years in prison; and of possession of a deadly weapon by a prohibited person, for which he was sentenced to 6 to 10 years. Those sentences were to be served one after the other. The Department of Homeland Security said Domach was also convicted of driving under the influence. Advertisement While in prison, he was convicted of 'assault by a confined person' and sentenced to an additional 18 to 20 months. According to the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services, Domach was released on 'discretionary parole' on May 2 and arrested by immigration authorities six days later. Records said he represented himself on appeal and in the most recent prison assault case. LAOS: Thongxay Nilakout One of the two deportees with life sentences is 48-year-old Thongxay Nilakout from Laos. He was convicted of killing a German tourist and wounding her husband in 1994 when he was 17. The couple was visiting a popular tourist lookout east of Los Angeles during a trip to see their daughter. Nilakout was sentenced to life in prison but was released in 2023 after his case was reviewed following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that said mandatory life sentences for minors were unconstitutional. He was arrested by immigration authorities in January. MYANMAR: Kyaw Mya Kyaw Mya, a man from Myanmar who lived in Iowa, was convicted of sexually abusing a child under 12 years of age and sentenced to 10 years in prison, according to the Department of Homeland Security. He was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in February. An attorney for Mya did not respond to phone calls seeking comment. MYANMAR: Nyo Myint Nyo Myint, another Burmese deportee, lived in Lincoln, Nebraska. He was accused in 2017 of sexually assaulting a 26-year-old woman with 'diminished mental capacity' who ended up pregnant. The woman's sister said the victim had a mental capacity equal to a 3-year-old and that Myint had told her he was the child's father. An arrest affidavit filed by the police said Myint admitted to having sex with the woman at least two times, saying he knew her since 2003 and knew she had gone to a school for children with mental disabilities. He admitted he made a mistake and felt it was wrong to have sex with her. Advertisement He was given a 12- to 14-year prison sentence in 2020 but released on probation in May 2023. ICE took custody of Myint in February. Nathan Sohriakoff remembers defending Myint in the Nebraska case and communicating with him via interpreters. He hadn't heard he was part of the deportee group, which Trump administration officials are calling 'barbaric monsters.' 'He was a small man, very petite. He didn't speak a word of English and didn't resist the charges,' Sohriakoff said. 'I don't remember feeling like he was dangerous. My general feeling of him was that he was limited in his ability as well, like cognitively, but not to the degree that I felt he was incompetent.' VIETNAM: Tuan Thanh Phan The Department of Homeland Security says the flight included a Vietnamese man. Tuan Thanh Phan was convicted of first-degree murder and second-degree assault and sentenced to 22 years in prison. He was arrested by ICE earlier this month. CUBA: Enrique Arias-Hierro and Jose Manuel Rodriguez-Quiñones The Department of Homeland Security says the flight included two men from Cuba: Enrique Arias-Hierro and Jose Manuel Rodriguez-Quiñones. Florida court records show Arias-Hierro, now 46, served 15 years in a state prison after being convicted of robbery, kidnapping and falsely impersonating an officer. Homeland Security officials say he was also convicted of homicide and armed robbery, but the records in Miami-Dade County did not include that. The attorney who last served as his public defender in 2024 did not respond to an email and phone call seeking comment. Arias-Hierro was taken by ICE earlier this month. Advertisement There was no further information immediately available on Rodriguez-Quiñones. MEXICO: Jesus Munoz-Gutierrez A Mexican man was also placed on the deportation flight. The Department of Homeland Security says Jesus Munoz-Gutierrez was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. It was unclear why he would be flown to South Sudan or beyond when Mexico is just south of the United States. Associated Press writer Margery Beck in Omaha, Nebraska, contributed to this report.

Myanmar junta celebrates itself with military pageant
Myanmar's junta will muster its embattled troops for a show of strength on Armed Forces Day on Thursday, after a year of seismic defeats and turning to forcibly conscripting civilians to bolster its ranks. Thousands of soldiers will march before junta chief Min Aung Hlaing in Naypyidaw, where a banner over the approach to the parade ground reads: "Only when the military is strong will the country be strong". Special forces guarded the main entrance to the remote, purpose-built capital. The parades have gotten progressively smaller in the four years of civil war since the military deposed Aung San Suu Kyi's civilian government. Since the last Armed Forces Day, the junta has lost the key northern town of Lashio -- including a regional military command -- and swathes of the western Rakhine state, and sought to conscript more than 50,000 people. The civil war pits the junta's forces against both anti-coup guerillas and long-established ethnic minority armed groups. More than 3.5 million people are displaced, half the population live in poverty and one million civilians face World Food Programme aid cuts next month following US President Donald Trump's slashing of Washington's humanitarian budget. At the same time, trade sanctions have isolated Myanmar, making it increasingly dependent on China and Russia for economic and military support. "The military has never been defeated this severely," according to Jack Myint, a non-resident fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank. But observers agree its grip on the centre is secure for now. "The reality is they still have a superior supply of arms," said Myint, and they "don't have to defeat everyone to maintain control". War monitors say the past year has seen a spike in air strikes by the junta's Russian-made jets. On Saturday, 11 people including a doctor were killed when a clinic in western Myanmar was bombed, locals said, one week after a bombardment in the heartlands killed 12 people, according to a local official. - Election promised - The past year has shown how strong a hand Beijing holds in Myanmar, with a willingness to play off the military and its opponents to pursue economic opportunities and stability on its borders, according to analyst Myint. After public concern spiked in China over scam centres in Myanmar, thousands of workers were repatriated at Beijing's demand. "Beijing sees all these smaller players in the sandbox like insolent children not getting along," Myint said. "They whip out the carrot one time, they whip out the stick the next, and hold it together in a manner that best serves their interests." The bespectacled Min Aung Hlaing is expected to preside over Thursday's ceremony in his metal-festooned dress uniform, and deliver a speech to the country of more than 50 million. He has promised elections later this year or early 2026, but with much of the country beyond the government's control, analysts say it would not be a genuine democratic vote. But cliques in the junta are pushing for polls to weaken Min Aung Hlaing's position amid discord over his handling of the conflict, according to one US-based Myanmar analyst speaking on condition of anonymity. Min Aung Hlaing serves as both acting president and commander-in-chief but to hold an election he would have to relinquish one of those roles. "Min Aung Hlaing does not want to hold the election," the analyst said. "But generals close to him have warned that the situation is getting worse." bur-jts/slb/pdw/lb

Rapid treatment prevents need for life-changing surgery for rectal cancer
People with rectal cancer could be spared the need for life-changing surgery thanks to a rapid treatment that preserves healthy tissue, a clinical trial has found. Experts at the NHS Clatterbridge Cancer Centre on the Wirral discovered that people with early-stage rectal cancer can avoid the need for a stoma and may be cured if they have a type of specialist internal radiotherapy. The final-stage results of the global clinical trial Opera followed 141 patients for five years and found a rise in preservation rates for the rectum, from 56% with standard treatment to 79% in those given the therapy. The technique uses contact X-ray brachytherapy (CXB), combined with chemo-radiotherapy, to deliver radiation directly onto the tumour. Each treatment application kills cancer cells layer by layer, while preventing damage to the normal, healthy bowel around the tumour. Clatterbridge consultant Professor Sun Myint, who led the UK arm of the research, said: 'This study is a significant milestone in rectal cancer management. 'The ability to preserve organs in nearly 80% of cases without compromising bowel function or long-term quality of life is a game-changer for patients.' The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust is one of the world's leading centres for this type of treatment for rectal cancer. Prof Myint said the treatment meant patients could avoid a colostomy – an operation to bring part of the bowel through an opening in the stomach to form a stoma, which collects the body's waste in a bag. He said: 'For many patients, the prospect of a permanent colostomy is life-changing. 'This technique not only spares the organ but also preserves dignity and quality of life.' He said the study findings showed that bowel function was not worsened by the CXB boost, showing it is a safe and effective treatment option. He said: 'These results should encourage wider adoption of contact X-ray brachytherapy as part of standard care for eligible patients. 'It's a beacon of hope for those battling rectal cancer.' Prof Myint said he hopes CXB can also be used in other cancers. Sharon Price, 51, who works in the NHS caring for lung cancer patients, was 45 and recently married when she was given the devastating news that she had rectal cancer. She was given the all-clear after the study. She said: 'I was faced with the possibility of surgery, which would mean that I'd have to live with a stoma for the rest of my life. 'That was devastating – I was just too young to have to go through that and live with the consequences of how it can change what you're able to do. 'Many people do live with a stoma but for me, there would be no reversal of it, and I found it very difficult to contemplate that. 'I was offered the chance to join the clinical trial and I decided to do it immediately. 'It gave me the chance not to have invasive surgery, but if it did not work, I could still have that standard treatment.' Mrs Price, who lives in Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire, had three rounds of CXB before 25 sessions of standard chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This eradicated her cancer and it was followed up with intensive monitoring for three years before she was given the all-clear. She said: 'I'm so glad I went for it. The Opera trial has meant I have had a normal, healthy life after being diagnosed with cancer. 'It has had no lasting impact on my life – and I wonder if that would have been the case if I had not joined the research.'
