FBI Tech Masturbated in Bureau Office and Sent Recording to Teenagers

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) A former FBI electronics technician was sentenced last week to 20 years imprisonment for engaging in sexually explicit online chats with at least three teenagers. According to court records, many of the former FBI tech’s crimes occurred while he was inside bureau facilities.

The former FBI tech, Justin Carroll, wasn’t caught due to the vigilance of his fellow agents. Rather, Carroll may have gotten away with his lewd acts indefinitely if one of the teenagers hadn’t sent him a Valentine’s Day gift—addressed to the FBI’s Nashville office.

According to the criminal complaint against Carroll, the FBI’s Nashville office received an unmarked package on March 5, 2021. The package was treated as suspicious, with a special agent bomb technician examining it. But inside, there was only a teddy bear and some candy.

Agents tracked down the sender of the package, and spoke to the teenager’s mother. The mother told the FBI that she’d speak to her daughter about why she sent the package, and to whom.

Once the mother and the FBI put two and two together, the investigation ramped up quickly. After interviewing the mother and the teenager, agents obtained a search warrant for Carroll’s online accounts. That’s when they realized he was masturbating right next to them.

“Many of the photos and videos the Defendant sent to the Minor Victims were of his penis and of himself masturbating. Agents determined through their investigation that many of the images were created and transmitted while the Defendant was working at the FBI office in Nashville and other locations,” DOJ lawyers said in a February 2024 filing. “One such video was of the Defendant masturbating in the FBI server room.”

According to the DOJ, Carroll admitted that he jerked off in the FBI office. Caroll tried to exclude this evidence before his jury trial, but the DOJ successfully argued that where he masturbated was relevant to the case.

“The average adult would consider videoing oneself masturbating in a workplace, much less the office of the FBI in Nashville, which is tasked with investigating crimes against children, during business hours as one factor that the material appeals to the prurient interest. Most adults consider masturbating in a workplace as an unhealthy or shameful interest in sex,” DOJ lawyers successfully argued in February 2024.

“The fact that the Defendant created these images at the FBI office in Nashville or while working at other locations proves that the material ‘lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value,’ which is another element the Government must prove.”

Carroll had his jury trial in March 2024, and was convicted that month. His sentencing memorandums are sealed, as are most other records in his case. After he serves his prison sentence, Carroll will be on supervised release for 10 years.

$5 Million Bounty Announced for Capture of MS-13 Leader in Honduras

$5 Million Bounty Announced for Capture of MS-13 Leader in Honduras

(José Niño, Headline USA) The Justice Department announced on Monday a $5 million reward for information leading to the arrest of MS-13’s highest-ranking leader in Honduras.

Yulan Andony Archaga Carías, a 43-year-old Honduran national, is currently a fugitive and is featured on the FBI’s Top 10 Most Wanted list, according to a report by The Epoch Times.  

“This terrorist leader can no longer be allowed to live free as MS-13’s evil devastates communities in America and throughout the western hemisphere,” declared Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “If you can contribute information leading to his arrest – come forward now.”

In 2021, Archaga Carías was indicted in the Southern District of New York on charges including racketeering, narcotics trafficking, and firearms offenses. A co-defendant in the case is now in U.S. custody, while three other MS-13 leaders charged in the same indictment face similar charges-one is detained in Honduras, and the other two remain at large.

The pursuit of Archaga Carías is part of a broader Trump administration initiative to combat transnational criminal gangs. On February 20, 2025, the United States officially designated MS-13 and Tren de Aragua as foreign terrorist organizations.

“Dismantling and ultimately eliminating MS-13 continues to be one of the FBI’s highest priorities, and we’re not stopping until that mission is complete,” FBI Director Kash Patel proclaimed in the DOJ statement. “Alongside our dedicated law enforcement partners, the FBI will find Archaga Carías—a terrorist whose reign of terror at the helm of MS-13 is coming to an end.”

If convicted, Archaga Carías could face life in prison, with a mandatory minimum sentence of 40 years. Sentencing will be determined by a judge.

The DOJ specified that only tips submitted directly to the U.S. government will qualify for the reward. Individuals outside the United States should contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate, while those within the country can reach out to local FBI offices.

While high-profile rewards for the arrest of individuals like Archaga Carías make headlines, the real test lies in sustained enforcement and measurable results.

Arizona Senator Pushes Amnesty for Illegals to Counter DHS Self-Deportation Program

Arizona Senator Pushes Amnesty for Illegals to Counter DHS Self-Deportation Program

(José Niño, Headline USA) Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., is proposing an amnesty plan for illegal aliens in response to President Trump’s new self-deportation program. 

On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) introduced a new program that will offer a $1,000 payment to illegal aliens who can verify, via the CBP Home mobile app, that they have left the country voluntarily. 

This self-deportation approach aims to streamline the process of reducing the illegal population by providing financial incentives for leaving the country. Similar programs have reportedly been implemented in European nations such as Germany, Denmark, and Sweden, where they have been credited with lowering rates of illegal immigration, according to a report by Breitbart. 

In response to the Trump administration’s policy, Gallego has voiced opposition to self-deportation, instead proposing a plan that would allow eligible undocumented immigrants to remain in the U.S. on renewable work visas. 

His proposal would require those individuals to pay a $5,000 fine and undergo a background check, with the possibility of renewing their work visas if they maintain good conduct. The Arizona congressman outlined this idea on X, stating, “Why don’t we make them pay a $5k fine, go through a background check and give them a work visa for a few years, renewable with good behavior.”

Despite growing public support for stricter immigration enforcement, some Democrats, including Gallego, have continued to resist deportation policies — even in cases involving illegal aliens convicted of serious crimes. 

Recent polling indicates that a majority of American adults — 56 percent, according to a CBS News survey — back the Trump administration’s efforts to identify, detain, and deport illegal aliens. On top of that, an Echelon Insights poll found that moderate swing voters are particularly supportive of mass deportation policies. 

Jeremy Carl, an outspoken populist author, commented on social media about the Echelon Insights polls: 

So politically, the voters in the middle that we need to win on immigration are being turned off by the Democrats radicalism in attempting to stop the deportations of gang members, drug dealers, and human traffickers.

And Trump’s immigration policy, WITH ACTUAL VOTERS THAT WE CAN REASONABLY WIN is more popular than ever.

Donald Trump has long vowed to deport millions of illegal immigrants, a promise that’s remained central to his rhetoric both during the campaign and from the White House. His administration has promoted “record-breaking” results, with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem claiming more than 158,000 arrests in 2025 and unprecedented deportations of “the worst of the worst.”

However, as Headline USA recently reported, that ICE’s own numbers tell a different story: just 66,463 arrests and 65,682 removals in the first 100 days. That’s far short of the president’s promises.

The 158,000 figure appears inflated, likely incorporating a broader range of enforcement activity beyond ICE, including border patrol apprehensions.

As polling shows strong support for stricter border security and immigration measures, lawmakers face mounting pressure to address the issue. With expectations set sky-high, the pressure is on for Trump to turn rhetoric into results.

Immigrant Child Rapist Lived at Mass. Daycare Facility

Immigrant Child Rapist Lived at Mass. Daycare Facility

(José Niño, Headline USA) The closure of a licensed daycare in Cape Cod has sparked concerns about state oversight after a convicted child rapist from Brazil was discovered living at the facility.

A licensed home daycare in Hyannis, Cape Cod, owned by Franciele Nunes, shut its doors after authorities learned that a convicted child rapist had been residing there. 

The facility shut down after media outlet 25 Investigates conducted an investigation into the presence of Andre Tiago Lucas, who is reportedly the father of Nunes’s two children.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported that Lucas, a Brazilian national, fled to Massachusetts to avoid serving a nine-year prison sentence in Minas Gerais, Brazil, for the rape of a 13-year-old girl. ICE agents arrested him in Bourne last October.

Nunes allowed her license from the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) to expire in March after holding it for three years.

Worcester County Sheriff Lew Evangelidis, a prominent advocate for immigration reform, expressed deep concern about the situation.

“It’s alarming that a documented Brazilian national, convicted of raping a 13-year-old, could escape justice, enter Massachusetts, and end up living in a home that also functioned as a daycare for children. That’s terrifying,” Sheriff Evangelidis told 25 Investigates.

EEC records indicate the agency inspected the home daycare five times but found no evidence of Lucas’s presence during those visits. 

This has prompted questions about the effectiveness of the agency’s oversight. State Representative Steven Xiarhos, representing the 5th Barnstable District and with four decades of law enforcement experience, stressed the importance of rigorous background checks and careful observation during inspections.

“You really need to ensure every facility is as safe as possible-through thorough background checks and by being attentive during visits,” Xiarhos said.

The EEC stated they were unaware of Lucas’s connection to the daycare until four months after his arrest and noted that federal authorities had not informed them. While the EEC requires background checks for anyone 15 or older who lives in or frequently visits home daycares, these checks do not cover international criminal records, nor do they consider immigration status. As a result, even if Nunes had disclosed Lucas’s presence, his conviction in Brazil would not have been detected by the state’s current vetting process.

“Our children are innocent. When we send them to daycare, we’re essentially entrusting their safety to others,” Xiarhos stressed. The incident has sparked concerns about the adequacy of state oversight of home daycares and the limitations of background check procedures, especially regarding individuals with criminal histories from outside the U.S.

The EEC does carry out out-of-state background checks, including sex offender, criminal history, and child welfare screenings, for individuals who have lived outside Massachusetts in the past five years.

As the investigation continues, lawmakers and parents are demanding stronger protections for children in licensed care.

Alex Soros and Huma Abedin Roasted Over Bizarre Penthouse Photo

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Alex Soros, heir to the leftist Soros dynasty, and his fiancée, Huma Abedin—the disgraced former aide to Hillary Clinton—were roasted on social media after The New Yorker featured them in a ritzy magazine spread. 

The feature included Soros seated on a green curved sofa with his legs crossed, holding hands with Abedin, who stood beside him. Behind them was a sweeping view of Manhattan. The couple lives in NoHo, Manhattan. 

At the center of the backlash was the pair’s shameless display of wealth. 

“Sure let’s have that oligarchy conversation,” Spectator contributing editor Stephen L. Miller wrote. 

His comment likely referenced Sen. Bernie Sanders’s Fighting Oligarchy tour, aimed at attacking Trump and the influence of billionaires in politics. 

“Tell me again about that whole ‘Fighting Oligarchy’ tour,” added political strategist Matt Schuck. 

“You could not draw up a better vision of the hypocrisy of the modern left,” said Stu Burguiere on The Megyn Kelly Show. 

The Ruthless Podcast mocked the pose, captioning it: “Sitting in a totally normal pose, in a totally normal apartment, in a totally normal relationship.” 

Journalist Chuck Ross summed it up with a simple “Lmao” caption.

Another user pointed out that Soros and Abedin had coordinated their outfits to match the green furniture.

“Is this a daily thing?” the user joked. 

Soros and Abedin announced their engagement in July 2024, just months after going public with their relationship. 

Soros is widely viewed as the heir apparent to his father George Soros’s billions, which have long fueled Democrat-aligned political causes and campaigns. 

Abedin served as a top aide to Hillary Clinton dating back to her tenure as secretary of state. She was previously married to disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner, who was embroiled in multiple sexting scandals, including one involving a nearly nude photo taken next to his young son.

NYT Publishes Elon Musk’s Home Address amidst Recent Political Violence

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Billionaire Trump backer Elon Musk may no longer be safe after the New York Times inexplicably published his home address—despite the tech mogul facing mounting death threats and political intimidation. 

The Times exposed Musk’s location in a hit piece about what it’s like to live near him and only removed it after The Intercept confronted the paper. 

“An image accompanying this piece of journalism has since been updated by an editor,” Times spokesperson Charlie Stadtlander said when pressed. “The Times makes updates to our journalism when warranted.” 

The article focused on Musk’s residence in West Lake Hills, Texas. According to The Intercept, the original lead image showed an official zoning document that listed purported violations at Musk’s property, all while displaying the home address. 

The Intercept noted that while the image was eventually replaced, an unredacted version remained accessible on the Times’s website. 

The address was verified as Musk’s home, as it was also listed in a recent lawsuit against him by Ashley St. Clair, the social media influencer with whom Musk shares a baby. 

The Times described the property as sitting on an “upscale cul-de-sac” and “one of the four homes on the leafy street,” valued at $6 million and featuring six bedrooms. 

“Musk purchased the West Lake Hills home through a limited liability company, which was named after the street where the property sits,” the article stated. 

The doxxing comes as political violence escalates nationwide and as Musk faces a surge of threats from far-left activists. He currently serves as a senior advisor to President Donald Trump, with a focus on the Department of Government Efficiency. 

U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ed Martin issued a letter affirming federal prosecutors would investigate threats against Musk, who now qualifies as a government official. 

Attorney General Pam Bondi also warned arsonists and looters targeting Musk or Tesla that they would be charged as domestic terrorists, noting the clear attempt to intimidate Musk out of his post. 

“The days of committing crimes without consequence have ended,” said Bondi in a statement. “Let this be a warning: if you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars.”

Nashville Police Arrest Officer Who Allegedly Leaked Trans Shooter’s Writings

Nashville Police Arrest Officer Who Allegedly Leaked Trans Shooter’s Writings

(Headline USA) A former Nashville police lieutenant was arrested Tuesday on charges of theft, burglary and official misconduct after he was accused of taking case files, including records from a school shooting where a deranged self-identified trans person killed three 9-year-olds and three adult staffers.

In announcing the arrest of Garet Davidson, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said he used his position with the Office of Professional Accountability at the Metro Nashville Police Department to gain access to restricted areas. “He then took multiple criminal case files, internal investigation case files, original case files, and other documents he was not authorized to retain,” according to a TBI news release. Davidson was booked into the Nashville jail on a $150,000 bond.

Davidson’s attorney, Alex Little, provided a statement saying the charges “represent a transparent attempt to discredit and silence a whistleblower who exposed serious misconduct within the Metro Nashville Police Department.

“The documents in question are public records documenting MNPD leadership’s alleged efforts to undermine civilian oversight, protect high-ranking officers from accountability, and maintain a culture that tolerates harassment and discrimination. The additional charges related to the Covenant School Shooting materials further demonstrate the department’s desire to use criminal charges to keep the public in the dark,” the statement reads.

Davidson retired from the Metro Nashville Police Department in January 2024 after working for two years in the Office of Professional Accountability, which is the department’s internal affairs unit.

He filed a complaint last May outlining a long list of claims against the police department. It included accusations that ranking personnel received better outcomes in investigations; command staff were overly involved in internal investigations; officers purposefully failed to keep records to avoid incriminating paper trails; training for new recruits was improperly reduced; and the department failed to enact a “zero-tolerance” policy on sexual harassment and discrimination. He also alleged the police department actively lobbied to gut the city’s community oversight board.

Shortly after the complaint was filed, Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell announced an independent investigation of the allegations, which is ongoing.

In a statement released last year, Police Chief John Drake only addressed the accusation involving training for new officers, saying they receive much more training than what is required by the state.

Some of the charges Davidson is facing are related to the March 2023 shooting at a private Christian elementary school. Davidson was previously implicated in the leak of the shooter, Audrey Hale’s, journals to conservative media outlets. The Tennessee Star published dozens of stories based on what they said were 80 pages of the shooter’s writings.

That outlet was one of several parties that had filed open records requests with Nashville police for records related to the shooting, including the journals. When the city refused to immediately release the records in 2023, they sued. The plaintiffs included a gun rights group, a law enforcement nonprofit and Tennessee state Sen. Todd Gardenhire. On the other side was not just the city, but parents of many of the Covenant students who wanted to keep the records secret.

The situation quickly ballooned into a messy mix of conspiracy theories, leaked documents, probate battles and accusations of ethical misconduct. In July, a judge ruled for the parents, who claimed they own the copyright to the writings, transferred to them from the shooter’s parents as next of kin. That decision is currently under appeal.

Meanwhile, the FBI last month provided Tennessee Star owner, Star News Digital, with a redacted version of its Covenant shooting files in response to a separate lawsuit. In a federal court filing, the FBI said it withheld names and identifying information of third parties and detailed descriptions of the shooter’s plans. Also last month, Nashville police released a final report on the shooting that included details about the shooter’s writings, mental health and motivations.

Those killed in the shooting were Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney, all 9 years old, and adults Cynthia Peak, 61; Katherine Koonce, 60; and Mike Hill, 61. Shooter Audrey Hale was shot and killed by police at the scene.

Report: FBI Has over 250 Open Investigations into Satanic Pedophile Network

Report: FBI Has over 250 Open Investigations into Satanic Pedophile Network

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The FBI reportedly has more than 250 investigations ongoing into the online accelerationist network “764”—a Satanic cult that seeks to erode the fabric of Western society by exploiting children.

“We see a lot of bad things, but this is one of the most disturbing things we’re seeing,” assistant director David Scott, the head of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division, reportedly told ABC News in a story published Tuesday. Scott said the 250-plus cases span all 55 of the FBI’s field offices.

The ABC News report comes a week after the Justice Department announced charges against one of the 764 ringleaders, 21-year-old Leonidas Varagiannis and 20-year-old Prasan Nepal.

“Prasan Nepal, a leader of 764, allegedly instructed other members of the network to use explicit material to induce and extort victims into producing child exploitative content,” Christopher Raia, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI New York Field Office, said last week in a press release.

“Manipulating the most vulnerable members of society—our children—to produce sexually harmful material to further their depraved goals is unconscionable. The FBI is determined to do whatever necessary to stop the heinous actions of 764 members and hold them accountable in the justice system.”

Headline USA has been covering the 764 network ever since the DOJ announced its first case in 2023.

The government’s crackdown on the Satanic pedophile network started in November 2021, when the FBI arrested 764 member Angel Almeida. Details of Almeida’s 764 activities weren’t made public until records about his case were unsealed late 2023.

In February 2024, 764 received more national attention when U.S. Marshals arrested 764 member Kyle Spitze on child porn charges. Spitze had previously made national news when his step father shot him in the ear while Spitze was recording him. That bizarre and disturbing story can be read here.

Several other arrests followed Spitze. More recently, 764 has been linked to two school shootings and two more alleged near-shootings.

The first shooting occurred in January, when a 17-year-old black student named Solomon Henderson allegedly opened fire—killing a female student and wounding one other before killing himself.

Henderson apparently operated the Twitter/X account @GroidCell, which is linked to the Satanic 764 pedophile network. His manifesto also claimed that he had connections with other school shooters, including 15-year-old Natalie Rupnow, who opened fire during a study hall last December.

Additionally, when investigators searched Rupnow’s phone, they found that she was part of a network of extremist and sadistic chatrooms, and that she was communicating with many other people.

One of those people was 20-year-old Alexander Paffendorf, who was also allegedly talking to Rupnow online about committing a mass shooting. Last week, a court reportedly granted a three-year gun violence restraining order against Paffendorf, which bars him from owning firearms for three years, according to Fox 5 in San Diego. Paffendorf has not been criminally charged over the matter.

Along with Paffendorf, Rupnow was also found to have been communicating with 22-year-old Damien Blade Allen. According to a detective’s affidavit released last week, the two were in a “conspiracy” to commit mass shootings.

Allen was arrested on April 27, just before he was about to carry out his intended shooting, according to law enforcement.

Sen. Fetterman’s Former Staffers Warn that He’s Going Crazy

Sen. Fetterman’s Former Staffers Warn that He’s Going Crazy

(José Niño, Headline USA) Sen. John Fetterman, R-PA, is facing a growing number of calls to resign.

A bombshell profile in New York Magazine showcased Fetterman’s declining mental health. 

“He needs to resign,” declared Jonathan Last of The Bulwark, a former Fetterman supporter, on The Secret Podcast. His co-host, Sarah Longwell, didn’t mince words either, calling the revelations “career-ending.” The shockwaves from the New York Magazine piece penned by Ben Terris, have rippled through social media and political circles, leaving many Democrats reeling.

“I think John is on a bad trajectory and I’m really worried about him,” wrote Adam Jentleson, Fetterman’s former chief of staff, in a letter to the Pennsylvania senator’s doctor.

Fetterman’s journey into the United States Senate has been marked by ups and downs. After suffering a stroke during his 2022 campaign, he overcame significant health challenges to deliver a crucial win for Democrats after defeating his Republican rival Mehmet Oz by 51.2% to 46.3% margin. 

His subsequent hospitalization for depression in 2023 was widely perceived as a courageous step toward destigmatizing mental health struggles in public life.

“Let me say this to anyone that’s thinking about this: There is a way out,” Fetterman said to Men’s Health after his discharge. “Don’t ever, ever, ever, ever consider hurting yourself. Get your help.”

But the New York Magazine piece suggests that Fetterman’s private affairs are far more complicated. Staffers and former aides describe a man who is increasingly isolated, prone to mood swings, and sometimes disengaged from the recovery plan that once seemed to set him on a positive path.

Jentleson’s letter to Fetterman’s medical team detailed a series of “warning signs”: missed medical appointments, skipped medication, reckless driving, and even the purchase of a firearm. “He engages in risky behavior,” Jentleson wrote, warning colleagues not to ride in a car with Fetterman behind the wheel.

The most dramatic incident came in May or June 2024, when Fetterman reportedly ignored staff warnings, drove his car, and crashed-injuring his wife, Gisele Fetterman. The accident was kept quiet until the New York Magazine piece broke the story, compounding concerns about transparency and judgment.

Former staffers also described tense, sometimes heated exchanges with his wife, particularly over Fetterman’s vocal support for Israel during the Gaza conflict. “Let’s get back to killing,” Fetterman was quoted as saying about the war — a statement he later insisted referred only to Hamas, not civilians.

Fetterman has stood out as one of the most vocal pro-Israel Democrats in Congress. He has recently called for the United States to help Israel carry out attacks against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Fetterman’s votes in favor of several Trump nominees, including Pam Bondi for Attorney General, have alienated many in his own party, according to The Independent. His robust support for Israel has drawn condemnation from progressives, while some allies worry that his cognitive and emotional struggles may be undermining his ability to serve.

Fetterman and his family have pushed back against people doubting his ability to serve. In particular, Gisele Fetterman accused Jentleson of spreading “scary, untrue stories about John’s health” as part of a conspiracy to damage her husband’s reputation. The Pennsylvania senator described the New York Magazine story as a “hit piece” and insisted that “my ACTUAL doctors and my family affirmed that I’m very well.”

Will Fetterman weather this storm and reclaim his status as a symbol of resilience? Or is this the beginning of the end for one of the US Senate’s most unconventional figures? The answers remain uncertain, but the questions are more urgent than ever.

Kamala Enjoys NYC Night Out, Bringing Dozens of Secret Service Agents w/ Her

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Kamala Harris may no longer be vice president, but that hasn’t stopped her from enjoying the taxpayer-funded perks of her former office. 

Harris was spotted Sunday night entering The Polo Bar in New York City—one of Manhattan’s most exclusive restaurants—with husband Doug Emhoff and a massive Secret Service entourage.

The high-end bar is known for requiring reservations months in advance. Harris is in the city ahead of her expected appearance at the Met Gala on Monday. 

According to the New York Post, Harris had at least 25 agents and seven SUVs in tow. 

The scale of her protection far exceeds what’s typically given to former vice presidents, sources told the Post. However, former President Joe Biden signed an order awarding Harris an 18-month extension of full Secret Service protection—on the taxpayers’ dime. 

Thanks to Biden’s extension, taxpayers will foot Harris’s security detail through July 2026, just ahead of a midterm cycle where she is expected to play a prominent role attacking the Trump administration and Republican lawmakers. 

While President Donald Trump hasn’t yet revoked Harris’s protection, he did swiftly reverse Biden’s extended coverage for his adult children—Hunter and Ashley Biden—after returning to office on Jan. 20, 2025. 

Trump denounced the excessive security detail provided to Hunter during a lavish vacation in South Africa. 

“Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer. There are as many as 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous!” Trump wrote. “Likewise, Ashley Biden who has 13 agents will be taken off the list.”
