Florida's top prosecutor invites locals to take ultimate 'revenge' against their migrant exes
Florida's top prosecutor told residents to let his office know if their ex-partner is in the US illegally so they can 'assist' in getting back at them. Attorney General James Uthmeier - dubbed 'Bulldog' by Governor Ron DeSantis - took to X Tuesday, letting locals know exactly how they can carry out the ultimate 'revenge' on their exes. 'We recently got a tip from someone whose abusive ex overstayed a tourism visa. He is now cued up for deportation,' the Republican, 37, posted. 'If your ex is in the country illegally, please feel free to reach out to our office. We'd be happy to assist.' The U.S. Department of Homeland Security then joined in on Uthmeier's statement, calling the illegal migrant he spoke of a 'loser.' 'From domestic abuser to deported loser,' the agency wrote. 'ICE Tip Line: 866-DHS-2-ICE.' People quickly reacted to Uthmeier's bizarre post, with some getting a laugh out of it while others were left offended and furious. 'How about Mother-In-Laws?,' one user commented. Attorney General James Uthmeier (pictured with his wife Jean) took to X Tuesday letting locals know they can report their exes if they are in the U.S. illegally People quickly reacted to Uthmeier's bizarre post, with some getting a laugh out of it while others were left offended and furious 'My ex gf with kids is here illegally. Will you go after her? Or is this only for men?,' another asked. '... You really tryna get people to snitch on their illegal exes I'm so here for it hahahaha,' someone else wrote. A user wrote: 'This is beautiful.' Another asked if Uthmeier could 'do me a solid' and target exes in general, not just illegal migrants. 'C'mon bro, do the exes have to be in the country illegally? Can you do me a solid?,' they wrote. While some found his post comical, others did not. One wrote: 'What kind of government promotes a culture of informers and anonymous denunciations rather then [sic] marriage guidance counselling? 'What kind of government unleashes gangs of masked thugs (ICE) to spread a climate of fear through whole communities?' The U.S. Department of Homeland Security then joined in on Uthmeier's statement, calling the illegal migrant he spoke of a 'loser' Another simply wrote: 'Gross.' 'NOT FUNNY BRO,' a user wrote, as another added: 'Brutal.' Just hours after his post about exes, Uthmeier, who is no stranger to speaking out about his immigration policy beliefs, shared a post by the Florida Highway Patrol announcing the arrest of six Guatemalan nationals that they nabbed during a traffic stop. Uthmeier wrote: 'Florida sets the standard for assisting the Trump administration in enforcing federal immigration law. Great job, FHP!' Uthmeier took office as the state's attorney general earlier this year after being picked by Governor DeSantis. He was given the new role as a change in positions took place in the Sunshine State following the start of Donald Trump's second presidential term. DeSantis chose Ashley Moody, the former attorney general, to replace Marco Rubio in the U.S. Senate after Trump chose him to serve as the Secretary of State. He has been outspoken about the opening of the new detention facility, 'Alligator Alcatraz,' in Florida. Uthmeier (pictured in March) took office as the state's attorney general earlier this year after being picked by Governor DeSantis In June, Uthmeier unveiled controversial plans to build the immigration detention center as part of Trump's sweeping crackdown to deport so-called 'criminal aliens.' He loudly threw his support behind the Trump Administration's mass deportation agenda, declaring that the state had already been lending a hand to make it happen. Uthmeier proposed building the massive 39-square-mile site deep in the everglades - surrounded by thousands of alligators and pythons. 'Alligator Alcatraz - this existing island in the middle of the swamp presents a great option for criminal detention and deportation,' Uthmeier previously wrote to X. 'The one-stop shop to carry out President Trump's mass deportation agenda,' he added. Earlier this month, the first detainees were admitted into the new detention center, amid warnings of flooding in the area where it was constructed.

Palma, 48, who has spent more than two weeks at the center, told NBC6 that the lights stay on around the clock, leaving him clueless as to the time of day. The Cuban migrant said that he and 32 other people live in what he described as a cage and that they are only allowed to shower every three or four days. 'I feel like my life is in danger,' Palma said of the 'torturous' conditions. 'There are too many mosquitos, you can't sleep,' he added.

Would-be assassin dressed in niqab thwarted after gun jams, court told
A would-be assassin hiding under a niqab allegedly tried to shoot a rival at point-blank in a video released to a jury. Aimee Betro, 45, is alleged to have flown from Wisconsin in the US as part of a plot orchestrated by co-conspirators Mohammed Aslam, 59, and Mohammed Nabil Nazir, 31, to attack a rival family on September 7 2019. Father and son Aslam and Nazir, of Elms Avenue in Derby, were jailed at Birmingham Crown Court in November last year for their part in the plot but Betro flew back to the US days after the bungled assassination attempt and was later extradited to the UK. Appearing on Monday at the same court as her co-conspirators did, Betro wore pink leggings and her hair in space buns in the dock. She listened as prosecution counsel Tom Walkling KC told a jury of six men and six women that the attempted assassination was the culmination of a long-running 'vendetta' involving the family of Aslat Mahumad in Birmingham. Mr Walkling said 'revenge was the motive' after Nazir and Aslam were injured during disorder at Mr Mahumad's clothing boutique in Birmingham in July 2018, which led them to conspire to have someone kill him or a member of his family. It is believed Mr Mahumad was the target of the attempted shooting on September 7 2019, and Betro lay in wait in a BMW she had bought earlier that day outside his family home in Measham Grove, the court was told. After about 45 minutes, Mr Mahumad's son Sikander Ali arrived home, and CCTV of the moment the would-be assassin, with face covered, approached him and fired the gun at point-blank range was shown to the jury. After the gun jams, Mr Ali manages to escape by reversing his SUV out of the road, clipping the car door of the BMW and damaging it so badly it would no longer close. After the failed assassination attempt, Betro allegedly returned to the scene in a taxi hours later in the early hours of September 8 and fired three shots through the windows of Mr Mahumad's family home, which was empty at the time. Before she is alleged to have returned to the scene to use the now-working gun to fire bullets into the house, Betro is said to have used a cheap phone she had purchased to send messages to Mr Mahumad including: 'Where are you hiding?', 'stop playing hide and seek, you are lucky it jammed' and asking him to meet her at a nearby Asda. The damaged Mercedes was later found dumped, by members of Mr Mahumad's family and then the police, and inside was a black glove with Betro's DNA on it, Mr Walkling said. The court heard Betro, who had flown into the UK on August 22 2019, was back at Manchester Airport by 1.30pm on September 8, and flew back to the US the next day. She denies conspiracy to murder, possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear or violence and smuggling of ammunition into the UK. The trial continues.

The Unholy Trinity review – Samuel L Jackson and Pierce Brosnan shine in bubbling potboiler of a western
From the moment he flashes a shit-eating grin at a man on the gallows, Samuel L Jackson makes a fine western antagonist here, if not quite rising to the heights of his blanket-blackmail sex act in The Hateful Eight. The fellow about to swing is Isaac Broadway (Tim Daly), who manages to communicate to his onlooking son Henry (Brandon Lessard) that he should seek revenge on one Sheriff Butler, who framed him for murder. But when Henry corners a different lawman, Gabriel Dove (Pierce Brosnan), in a church in the Montana town of Trinity, he learns that someone got to the previous sheriff first. It turns out that papa Broadway, a maligned patriarch who built most of Trinity, was embroiled in a stolen Confederate gold racket – ripping off his gallows tormentor, the ex-slave St Christopher (Jackson), in the process. Add to that a Blackfoot seeking revenge (The New World's Q'orianka Kilcher), a fake priest (David Arquette), a smattering of local thugs, and before you can say 'sins of the father' (luckily, someone does), we have a bubbling potboiler on the go. While The Unholy Trinity is always robustly enjoyable, director Richard Gray and writer Lee Zachariah aren't the best at laying out their convoluted screed. Not only does it feel as if Henry and Gabriel are always skulking around the peripheries of their own story without clear agendas, it never settles down for long enough to hit on the emotional core of this homecoming. Forced into cahoots as they try to locate the gold and fend off the loitering St Christopher, it is only near the end that the childless sheriff and prodigal son start to bond – and the theme of surrogate family belatedly flares up. The muddy psychology shows in some diffident directing from Gray when handling quieter scenes; he is more at ease in brothel shootouts and the gallops across ravishing Montana prairies. The impressively arrayed cast also help to keep this enterprise buoyant, even if a silver-haired and affable Brosnan and Jackson, effortlessly mesmerising a saloon full of punters, are doing exactly what you would expect. If following The Unholy Trinity's various tracks is sometimes frustrating, it's still rare enough: a red-blooded and essentially satisfying western. The Unholy Trinity is on digital platforms now and available on DVD from 21 July.

Selfish act from bus passenger had me fuming, it's worse than people playing their videos out loud – how I got revenge
GETTING onto a busy bus is never fun, especially when you've got selfish passengers next to you. And one woman who got onto a crowded bus decided to get revenge on a rude commuter in the best way. 1 While on the bus, she said there was plenty of room to stand but the passenger decided to stand right next to her. While it was annoying considering how hot the weather was, she begrudgingly put up with it until matters got worse. But the woman soon began using her to lean on. "After a few moments, she started leaning her shoulder against mine," she explained. The woman said that she 'politely' asked the random person to 'move a little' bit away, because it was making her feel 'uncomfortable.' She said that it was 'basic manners' to keep your distance but the woman doubled down and used her as a 'human pillar'. The woman fumed: "I can't even tell how p***** off I was. So I decided to take my petty revenge. "Once she got 'comfortable' using me as her support again, I suddenly took a step back without warning. "So she lost her balance and fell down right away." The vengeful moment was a sure way to get the selfish passenger to think again before getting into someone's personal space. Chaotic moment brawl breaks out in packed Tube station with TODDLER stuck in middle of mayhem She said the woman "stood up," looked at her, "didn't say a word," and then "stood well away" from her for the rest of the ride. While many praised her for her move, many warned she could have been trying to pickpocket her while standing close. One person wrote: "On a bus in Delhi one time, a woman came and stood too close to me, and stretched her arm across my front to hold the same seat that I was holding. "Her shawl was draped over my handbag, so I put my hand in my handbag and found her hand in there! I shouted and she didn't move away, so then I stood firmly on her sandaled foot. Then she moved away. Nothing was missing yet, so it was okay." Somebody else said it was their 'first thought' that the woman was trying to 'rob' her, and that's why she was standing so close. "It's amazing how some people think their comfort trumps others' space," a third chimmed in, saying that there was no reason the woman should've been standing so close to her. Another pointed out: "The fact that she fell down when you moved back a bit just shows how much she was leaning on you. Some people have no manners or boundaries." A woman wrote: "She didn't have consent, and you did what you did. Good job! I can't fathom doing this in public at all."
