Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly announced that he has just torn apart one of the memos that pertain to the Obama era. This document was meant to protect all immigrant parents of U.S. citizens as well as other immigrants without necessary papers. However, this Obama order became one of the many ways through which Trump administration wants to alienate America from its previous leadership.

Kelly Found the 2014 Obama Order with No Viable Future

On Thursday, Kelly endorsed the news according to which Trump administration is shutting down protection for immigrant parents. However, this was not a surprising decision. Donald Trump had previously promised for numerous times that he is going to put an end on two Obama memos that play a soft note with illegal immigration. The one regarding immigrants whose children became U.S. citizens resided in a continuous battle in federal court.

Therefore, the parties had an ultimatum on Thursday to decide a deadline for a solution to this case. However, Kelly turned to a proactive approach and rescinded the clause himself. He explained this decision through the official website of the department as a case that had “no credible path forward.” At the same time, Trump accepted the Obama’s 2012 order that offered U.S. citizenship to 800,000 undocumented immigrants who entered the country at an early age.

Around 4 Million Immigrant Parents Remained with No Governmental Support

Therefore, Kelly announced that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program also known as DACA would remain unaltered. However, this situation raises grounds for a stark discrepancy. While children are allowed to remain on U.S. soil, their main providers may not. The abolishment of the 2014 memo leaves around 4 million undocumented parents in U.S. with no work permits. Moreover, they are in danger of deportation.

Unlike former president, Trump administration is engaging in actions for stricter rules for immigration topic. More and more undocumented persons with no criminal records are ceased for arrest while officials are abiding their plans for building a wall on the southeastern border.

A 36-year-old man murdered his mother on Mother’s Day and then proceeded to take her decapitate head to the local store where he stabbed the 66-year-old checkout clerk. He is now in police custody.

The Man Travelled to Another Town with His Mother’s Head in Tow

On Sunday afternoon, in the logging town of Colton, 40 miles southeast of Portland, while mothers throughout the country were pampered by their families, Joshua Lee Webb murdered his 59-year-old mother, Tina Marie Webb.

The murderer – who according to his father suffered from a severe visual deficit – decapitated his mother, took her severed head, and went on his way to a Thriftway shop in the nearby town of Estacada. All witnesses were petrified at his sight as the man was covered in blood and carrying his mother’s head in one hand and a bloody kitchen knife in the other.

Upon entering the store, Webb focused his attention on Michael Wagner, a white-haired clerk known for his big heart and witty sense of humor. Before anybody had time to react to the gruesome sight, Webb stabbed Wagner a couple of times. Luckily, the other employees were able to subdue him, keeping him restrained until local authorities arrived at the scene.

Ernie Roberts, the interim police chief in Sandy, Oregon, declared the man was catatonic, refusing to speak, except for the moment when he calmly said he was thirsty.

His Mother Suspected He Was Depressed

David Webb learned about his wife’s death and his son’s arrest on the same day. The man was shocked and in tears when addressing the media, mentioning that his wife suspected Joshua was depressed, buying him a dog to lift his spirits.

An autopsy has not been performed yet, and other details of the murder were not released. Michael Wagner is currently hospitalized, doctors expecting a full recovery.

According to the Tennessee authorities, a 29-year-old woman, who works as a janitor at the Midway High School, has recently been arrested and charged with engaging in sexual relations with a minor. Jessica Galyon is accused of having raped a 16-year-old boy inside an empty classroom during school hours. The boy’s family has sued the school and the company that employed Galyon.

Female Janitor Accused of Rape

The parents of a 16-year-old high school student from Tennessee has recently filed a lawsuit against Compass One and the Roane County School for doing nothing to prevent the boy from being raped by a female janitor. According to the family’s attorney, the boy’s parents are demanding approximately $4.5 million in damages for what happened to their son last year, in September.

According to the authorities, the 16-year-old boy, who was not named since he’s was the victim of rape, met 29-year-old Jessica Galyon, the school’s female janitor in August. Galyon was employed by the Midway High School through Compass One, a cleaning company.

Even from the start, Galyon seemed to take a great interest in the 16-year-old high school student. In late August, the woman asked the boy for his Facebook profile in order to befriend him. Galyon sent a lot of messages to the 16-year-old old which were, according to the authorities, overtly flirtatious and, most of the time, of a sexual nature.

Galyon Sent Sexual Messages To the Boy

However, the boy did not seem interested in Galyon’s sexual advances. To this end, he told the woman, on more than one occasion, that he’s not interested in being with her. Their conversations would continue on the same line until September.

According to the authorities, the female school janitor wrote to the boy in late September that she wishes to have sex with him. Galyon also told the 16-year-old that she rented a hotel room in the area. The boy declined the woman’s invitation and made it clear that he doesn’t want to talk to her.

Irritated by the boy’s refusal, Galyon decides to take a more direct approach. And so, during school hours, the woman waited for the boy, shoved him inside an empty classroom, and raped him. The deed was brought to the authorities’ attention one month later after the boy confessed to one of his teachers about what Galyon did to him.

The female school janitor was arrested and charged with engaging in sexual relations with the minor. After his ordeal, the boy dropped out of school.

A recent event which unfolded in the town of St. Louis comes to prove that the right man or, rather, woman at the right time can make all the difference in the world. According to the St. Louis Police Department, a 35-year-old convenience store clerk shot and killed an armed individual before he could rob the store. Although the woman was wounded during the gunfight, the St. Louis University Hospital declared that she would make a complete recovery.

Convenience Store Clerk Defends Store

On Monday, at approximately 3:50 am, the St. Louis authorities were called to a 7/11 store located in town’s center. According to the person who dialed 911, an armed robbery might be taking place at the convenience store.

When they arrived, the authorities discovered a wounded 35-year-old employee and another individual who appeared to be unconscious. Both were transported to the St. Louis University Hospital to receive medical treatment.

However, according to the ER doctors, the individual brought together with the 35-year-old woman died, as a result of his extensive injuries. After she had recovered, the woman told the detectives what happened at the convenience store.

According to the woman’s statements, she and a couple of her colleagues went out on a cigarette break just outside the store, when they saw an ominous-looking individual coming towards them. Reportedly, the man stopped in front of the 35-year-old convenience store employee and took out a handgun he kept concealed in his jacket.

Seeing that the individual clearly wanted to rob the 7/11 store, the employee took out her own gun and shot the individual several times at close range. During the gunfight that followed, the individual managed to shoot the 35-year-old store employee two times in her right leg.

Suspect Was Later Declared Dead at the Hospital

However, according to the coroner’s report, the armed robber was shot in the chest, thigh, and arms. The 7/11 store’s owner applauded his employee’s quick thinking, telling the press that the encounter could have had a different ending if it wasn’t for her swift intervention. The owner also added that the woman worked at the convenience store for several years and that she was always a model employee.

Ending his statement in a jovial manner, the convenience store owner declared that, after all these years, he and his employees have finally managed to come up with an adequate nickname for the woman. After this incident, the woman is now called the ‘She-ro.’

Hulu recently started airing a masterful adaptation of the 1985 novel that pinned Margaret Atwood on the world literary map. Exploring themes powerful themes like gender inequality and the objectification of women, The Handmaid’s Tale quickly gathered a cult following, Atwood becoming a powerful name in feminist circles.

Now, the titular TV series is rapidly gaining success, planting the seeds of fear in the hearts of viewers who recognize the current political situation in the character’s flashbacks.

As Theocracy Rises with Thunder, Humanity Silently Falls

In the original novel, Offred – a woman whose sole purpose in life was to procreate – decides to stand up against the recently risen theocracy. As the story unfolds, she remembers how the world turned to hell, the United States turning into a land where there is no Congress, no Constitution, no individuality – just a totalitarian Gilead where every man and woman serves a given purpose, all “broken” individuals being quietly disposed of.

During the third episode of Hulu’s adaptation, Elisabeth Moss (you may recognize her from Mad Men and The One I Love) delivers a powerful speech, talking about the country that once upon a time was called the United States, a place where she was free to drink a cup of coffee with her friends, a land where her fertile uterus was not the only thing keeping her alive.

Viewers Were More Terrified by the Reality of the Tale

As Moss’ character walks – head bowed, red cape covering her body, broad clad hiding her face – viewers are shown brief images of a country at war. For emergency purposes – and because Palpatine’s rise to power taught nothing to anybody – the Constitution was suspended, and all power was granted to the Gilead.

Nothing happened swiftly; big changes were implemented at a slow rate. At first, all women were fired from their jobs. Then, they were denied the right to handle money. Soon, they became trade objects, divided into categorized according to their physical properties.

Nothing changes instantaneously. In a gradually heating bathtub, you would be boiled to death before you knew it.

It all started with a deep mistrust in Congress and Government; it continued with a constant, impending terror threat. Then women started losing their rights, marching in vain. Sounds familiar? That’s how Atwood managed to build a masterpiece, upon a foundation of horrible truths, she started pulling up possible gruesome outcomes. And then she delivered a final, swift, masterful blow. Stay tuned to find out more as a new episode comes out weekly.

Ever hear about Freddy Krueger, the protagonist of the ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ series aka the Boogeyman who invades your dream and kills you in your sleep? Although Krueger is a fictional character, it would appear that an individual from the state of Washington likes Robert Englund’s character so much, that he decided to emulate him.

Home Invader Haunting Washington?

Recently, the Washington authorities have been bedazzled by a series of unusual occurrences. According to the eyewitnesses’ testimonies, an individual wearing a hoodie broke into the victims’ homes and watched them while they were sleeping. In addition, some of the victims of this quaint assailant told the authorities that he seemed to use his smartphone in order to record them.

Jericka Northness, a Mason County resident, and Brian McCartney, her boyfriend, seemed to be the Washington peeper’s latest victims. Northnes, who shares her Mason apartment with McCartney, recalled that on Thursday morning, she was fast asleep in her bed when she suddenly woke up because she felt as though someone was watching her from the darkness.

The woman remembers opening her eyes and seeing the silhouette of a man standing at the foot of the bed. At first, Jericka thought that it was Brian, her boyfriend, sitting there and looking at her. However, the Mason County woman soon realized that the man standing in front of her looked nothing like Brian.

Jericka’s started to panic when she realized that Brian was fast asleep next to her and that the individual sitting at the foot of the bed was actually a home invader. The woman told the authorities that the suspect did nothing that could qualify as threatening – he simply stood there, watching her sleep, while holding up his smartphone, probably to record her.

Where Will He Strike Next?

The Mason County woman managed to wake up her boyfriend. However, as she was frantically trying to shake Brian, the individual simply got out and left the couple’s bedroom. They’ve immediately dialed 911 and told them about their home invader.

The preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect entered Northness’s house through the back door, which, for some reason, was unlocked that morning. In addition, it would appear that the woman wasn’t the suspect’s only victim, six more similar cases being reported throughout the state.

At the moment, the authorities are trying to learn the suspect’s MO in an attempt to track him down. Jericka Northness and Brian McCartney described the home invader as being quite tall (approximately 6 feet), with a medium build, wearing dark clothes, which included a zip-up hoodie.

On Tuesday afternoon, a New York jury has finally closed one of the most notorious missing children cases in the history of the country. Etan Patz, the boy who vanished without a trace in 1979, has finally received the justice he and his family deserved. Pedro Hernandez, a former convenience store clerk who confessed in 2012 of killing Etan Patz, was sentenced to 25 years in prison. His court defender said that an appeal would be made, claiming that his client is mentally ill and that his conviction is based on a fabrication.

Etan Patz Finally Receives Justice

Pedro Hernandez, a 56-year-old New York resident, was working as a convenience store clerk back in 1979 when 6-year-old Etan Patz disappeared from a school bus stop. Although almost four decades have passed since anyone saw young Patz alive, the authorities have been unable to find any leads on how Etan vanished and what happened to him.

According to Patz’s parents, who were also present during Hernandez’s trial, the boy went missing shortly after he was allowed to go by himself to the bus station. Jose Lopez, Hernandez’s brother-in-law, was the one who finally notified the authorities regarding the identity of Patz’s kidnapper.

Lopez declared that, on more than one instance, Hernandez told him and the rest of his family how he abducted and murdered a boy. In 2004, Lopez couldn’t bear to live with the thought of his brother-in-law being a child murderer and contacted the authorities.

Pedro Hernandez’s Confession

The individual was swiftly arrested by the authorities and charged with the abduction and murder of the 6-year-old boy. Lopez would testify again in 2012, during Hernandez’s first appearance before the court.

According to the authorities, when he was first interviewed, the man admitted to stalking the boy on several occasions before luring him to a nearby bodega, where he promised him a can of soda. Hernandez told the police he cornered Etan Patz in the bodega and strangled him.

Allegedly, he placed the body inside a trash bag and placed it in a waste bin. To this day, Etan Patz’s body was not recovered.

On Tuesday, a New York jury sentenced Pedro Hernandez to 25 years in prison for the murder of Etan Patz. However, Hernandez’s attorney wants to file an appeal to this sentence, claiming that his client is mentally ill and that his confession is purely based on his client’s imagination.

The Oregon authorities reported that a 24-year-old man was recently arrested and charged with attempted manslaughter and arson after he set a 69-year-old restaurant patron on fire. Reportedly, the man got up from his table, poured lighter fluid on his victim, and tossed a lit match at him. The victim was transported to the hospital in critical condition.

Oregon Man Sets Denny’s Customer on Fire

On Thursday evening, the Clackamas County Police Department officers arrested 24-year-old DeShaun James Swanger outside his Oregon house. According to the authorities, the man did not resist his arrest and has been very cooperative so far.

Swanger’s arrest came shortly after Denny’s restaurant employee recognized him from a security tape depicting the assault of one the locale’s patrons. The authorities said that while he was at Denny’s, Swanger got up from his table and went to talk to another customer, a 69-year-old man, who was occupying the table next to him.

After spending some time talking to his victim, Swanger got out a can of lighter fluid from his pocket and poured its contents all over the 69-year-old man. The surveillance footage shows Swanger striking a match and throwing it on the man’s clothes soaked in lighter fluid.

According to the Oregon authorities, the 69-year-old Denny’s patron was transported to the nearby hospital in critical condition. Unfortunately, we don’t have additional information regarding the patient’s conditions.

What Compelled Swanger to Commit This Act?

Meanwhile, the authorities were working towards identifying the man’s assailant. Upon reviewing the surveillance footage, one of Denny’s employees confirmed that the individual depicting in the tape is 24-year-old DeShaun James Swanger.

Police records reveal that this was not the first time Swanger had a run-in with the authorities. The man’s file suggests that Swanger served time in prison and was transferred to a transitional house. Most of Swanger’s neighbors described him as being a quiet and private individual. The alleged arsonist kept pretty much to himself and never made any real attempts to chat up his neighbors.

However, when confronted with Swanger’s sadistic behavior, his neighbors were more than appalled and told the reporters that he’s behind bars. As for the individual, the Oregon authorities are still trying to find out what drove him to commit such a vile act. The investigation shed little light on the relationship between Swanger and the 69-year-old man.

Was it the conversation which led to the man’s hospitalization or did the attacker know the victim? We will keep you apprised if there are any additional developments in the case.

Deserae Turner, the 15-year-old girl who survived after being shot in the head by two teenagers at the beginning of 2017, makes her first public appearance alongside her father. Even though she was brought in a wheelchair and it was more than obvious that the girl made efforts to get up and move to her seat, she had a big smile on the face during the press conference and told the reporters that she had forgiven her attackers.

Utah Girl Is Happy to Be Alive

The tragic events that occurred on the 16^th of February would change Turner’s life forever. According to the Utah authorities who investigated the girl’s case, Deserae went out to meet two of her friends. The girl did not return home.

Alarmed by Turner’s disappearance, her family notified the authorities, which immediately began combing the city. Two women, whom the authorities said that they were related to the Turner family, went to search for Deserae near the city’s canal. They’ve told the police that the 14-year-old girl loved to take long strolls along this route.

After searching the area, the two women found the Utah girl lying face down in a ditch. The women took off their trench coats in order to cover the girl and dialed 911. When the authorities arrived, they’ve presumed that the girl was suffering from hypothermia, but they soon discovered that she had a gunshot wound to the back of her head.

This was when Deserae’s struggle began. She was rushed to the hospital, where the surgeons managed to remove the bullet and to stabilize the Utah girl. After six weeks of treatment and therapy, Deserae was back on her feet and healthy enough to be reunited with her family.

The Fact in Deserae Turner’s Case

When she was fit enough, the 14-year-old girl told the investigators how she wound up in the ditch. According to the authorities, the Utah girl was talking to two of her teen friends. While playing a video game, the two cooked up a plan to murder the girl.

Later that day, they’ve asked the girl to meet them by the old canal to buy a pocket knife. The girl went without hesitation to meet her friends and to purchase the item. As soon after the boys handed Deserae the pocket knife, one of them pulled up a gun and shot the girl in the head.

The ballistics report suggests that the Utah girl was back turned the moment she was hit by the bullet. Deserae’s attackers were taken into custody and charged with aggravate robbery, obstruction of justice, and aggravated attempted murder, meaning that they might be trialed as adults.
