DHS slams NYT for glaring omission about suspect who allegedly defiled corpse
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) slammed The New York Times Saturday over a story about a suspect who allegedly raped a corpse on a New York City subway, saying the reporters failed to mention the man was in the U.S. illegally.
“The New York Times refused to mention anywhere in its 400-word story on the monstrous rape of a corpse on the NYC subway that the depraved perpetrator is an ILLEGAL alien,” Tricia McLaughlin, DHS assistant secretary for public affairs, wrote on X. “Why not report the facts, @nytimes?”
Fox News Digital has reached out to The New York Times for comment.

Several other outlets also failed to report on Rojas’ immigration status, and the New York Post reported that his immigration status was unknown at the time of its story Tuesday about the incident. On Friday, the Post followed up with a separate story reporting that Rojas was in the U.S. illegally.
DHS issued a news release announcing Rojas’ ICE detainer May 1, three days after the Times story, which does not appear to have been updated with his immigration status since Monday. The Times hasn’t written any additional stories about Rojas since.

According to DHS, Rojas, who illegally entered the country multiple times dating back to 1998, was arrested in New York City and charged with rape and grand larceny for allegedly raping a corpse on a subway in Manhattan.
A man who died of natural causes on the R train was slumped over in a seat, the NYPD told Fox News. Rojas allegedly rummaged through the man’s pockets and then had sex with the man’s dead body after looking around to see if anyone was watching, police say.

Investigators are now looking into the possibility he could be linked to other crimes across the city.
“With impunity, open-border policies have allowed violent criminal aliens to terrorize America’s towns and cities,” McLaughlin said in a statement. “Under President Trump and Secretary [Kristi] Noem’s leadership, ICE is working around the clock to remove the worst of the worst from our communities. If you are here illegally and break the law, we will hunt you down, arrest you and lock you up.”
Another damning report about Shedeur Sanders surfaces after NFL Draft slide
Negative reports about Shedeur Sanders are continuing to come to light.
The former Colorado quarterback fell all the way to the fifth round of last week’s NFL Draft after once being considered a top 5 overall selection.
In the days leading up to the draft, reports circulated about Sanders’ attitude with coaches.
One said Sanders’ formal interview was “the worst,” adding the quarterback was “entitled.”

Other reports have said Sanders appeared disinterested in some meetings, notably with the New York Giants.
Now that the draft has come and gone, one CBS analyst recalled when Sanders skipped out on something he was “supposed to be doing.”
Star players, normally quarterbacks, and coaches often meet with broadcasters in the days leading up to a game, but before a game against Colorado State, Sanders skipped one of those meetings, according to CBS’ Ross Tucker.
ABDUL CARTER WHIFFS ON ANOTHER GIANTS LEGEND’S NUMBER: ‘JUST MY LAST NAME ON MY JERSEY’
Tucker said Sanders was initially supposed to speak with CBS on a Wednesday, but it was pushed back two days because he was getting treatment for an injury. But he never showed up to the rescheduled meeting.
“We weren’t really given a reason, but we did not talk to Shedeur at the production meetings, which, as you know, starting quarterback, especially high-profile player like that, very unusual. I walk out of the hotel, and there’s a pickup truck in front of the hotel, and Shedeur is just sitting in the back of the pickup truck,” Tucker said on “The Dan Patrick Show.”
“It just made me wonder. People asked me, NFL people asked me after that game, ‘What did you think of Shedeur?’ And I said, ‘I didn’t get to talk to him.’ Maybe he’s the greatest kid ever, maybe he’s a bad kid. I don’t know. But I told them the story, and they just kind of nodded their head.
“And it just made me wonder how many stories are there like that in which Shedeur did things that were not customary. He did things non-traditionally. It certainly seemed like that was the deal with a lot of the combine interviews and meetings with teams. And especially at that position, I think it makes them very nervous that already in college he was getting out of things that you’re supposed to be doing. What’s he gonna be like if he’s a first-round pick in the NFL Draft?”
Sanders was drafted 144th overall by the Cleveland Browns. His slide in the draft began after the New York Giants traded up to 25 to select Jaxson Dart. Then, on day two, three other quarterbacks — Tyler Shough, Jalen Milroe and Dillon Gabriel — were all taken. Gabriel also went to the Browns.

Bill Maher gives Dem advice after she shares a Trump moment — and doesn’t hide
HBO host Bill Maher defended Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, D-Mich., on Friday from liberals slamming her for meeting with President Donald Trump multiple times in recent weeks.
The comedian also advised Whitmer to “own” the meetings with Trump instead of seeming uneasy about them, telling her to take a page from his meeting with the president in March.
“And I would just like to say – I was trying to help her the other week – just own it, like a certain talk show host did when you meet the president,” he said, pointing to himself.
WHITMER DITCHES DEM PLAYBOOK ON TRUMP’S TARIFFS AMID 2028 SPECULATION
Maher brought the topic when speaking to liberal podcaster and journalist Kara Swisher along with former Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy during his “Real Time” panel.
They noted how Whitmer was criticized by members of her party for meeting twice with Trump – someone she clashed with throughout her time as governor. Whitmer visited Trump in the Oval Office on April 9 to speak with him about help for her state, though a photo of her hiding her face from the press during the meeting went viral.
The photo prompted anger from some liberals, who slammed her for meeting with Trump. Conservatives also criticized her for the moment, suggesting she was being insecure about working with the president.
Whitmer also appeared alongside Trump at an event at Michigan U.S. Air Force Base last Tuesday where Trump praised her “excellent job” as governor and called her a “very good person,” a notable departure from his usual criticism of the Democratic lawmaker.
KID ROCK LABELS MAINSTREAM MEDIA ‘PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE’ FOR FAILING TO RECOGNIZE TRUMP’S OLIVE BRANCHES
Again, progressives criticized Whitmer for appearing to work with Trump rather than denounce him.
On “Real Time,” Maher admitted it appeared as though Trump was trying to get her in trouble with the left, but maintained that it is fine for Whitmer to engage in a constructive relationship with Trump.
“This week – Trump f—— punked her twice – called her up, he was in Michigan… Governors need the president’s help on certain things, you know?” he said.
“And he calls her up, which she didn’t expect, and then they got a picture of her hugging him or smiling with him… and now she’s history’s greatest monster,” Maher added, ridiculing the left’s reaction to the meeting.

He then advised her to embrace the meeting with Trump, just like he did in late March, before going on to defend himself for it from liberal critics.
“When you meet the president, just – it’s okay. He’s the president,” the host said.
“That should not be wrong,” McCarthy agreed. “That should not be wrong at all.”
Elsewhere, he added, “Our country should not have a problem with people of two different parties – the election’s over – sitting down, working on issues, especially a president and governor.”

HGTV star Christina Haack settles divorce from third husband Josh Hall
Christina Haack has settled her divorce from her third husband, Josh Hall.
The 41-year-old HGTV star announced the news of the settlement nearly ten months after she and Hall both filed for divorce last July.
“Christina is pleased to confirm that a settlement has been reached through mediation,” Haack’s representative said in a statement to Fox News Digital on Saturday. “She extends her sincere appreciation to her attorney, Laura Wasser, and her team for their professional guidance and support throughout the process.”
Details of the settlement between Haack and Hall were not made public.
HGTV STAR CHRISTINA HAACK SWEARS OFF MARRIAGE AFTER SPLIT FROM THIRD HUSBAND
On Friday, the “Christina on the Coast” host celebrated the settlement in a post that she shared on her Instagram Story.
Haack thanked her legal team, led by Wasser, who she referred to as the “disso queen.”
“You are all a true class act,” Haack wrote. “I loved watching you in action and how you handle everything and everyone with class and grace…I appreciate you all beyond words. I have learned so much under your guidance.”
“And I’m grateful to have this behind me,” she added. “I can’t wait to move on with my life and focus on what’s ahead and all my blessings.”
Haack later shared a video of herself clinking wineglasses with a friend, noting that she was “celebrating.”
A representative for Hall declined to comment on the settlement.
Haack was first married to Tarek El Moussa from 2009 to 2018. During their marriage, the former couple welcomed two children, Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9, and also starred alongside each other on the HGTV show “Flip or Flop” from 2013 to 2022.
After finalizing her divorce from El Moussa, Haack and “Wheeler Dealers” star Ant Anstead tied the knot in December 2018. The two welcomed Hudson, 5, in September 2019 went on to divorce in June 2021.
Haack and Hall began dating in March 2021, and secretly married in October of that year. The former couple later had a formal ceremony in Hawaii.
In July, Haack and Hall both filed their own divorce petitions, each citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the dissolution of their marriage. Hall requested spousal support and asked the court to terminate Haack’s ability to receive spousal support from him.
“I can’t wait to move on with my life and focus on what’s ahead and all my blessings.”
Meanwhile, Haack requested the court terminate both of their ability to be awarded spousal support. In a court filing, she stated that Hall “should not need” spousal support because he has his own source of income.
“I prefer privacy, especially during something as life-changing as a divorce I did not ask for,” Hall wrote on Instagram after the divorce news broke. “I will not publicly badmouth anyone as people have families, friends and others who respect and love them. Unfortunately, the internet is forever.”
“We are real humans, this is our life and I am not here to entertain people I don’t know with my private matters. Those details will be handled fairly behind closed doors with our respective counsels in due time. Those who know each of us, know who we are.”
However, Haack and Hall’s split quickly became contentious and both have slammed each other on social media.

Prior to filing for divorce, Haack and Hall filmed footage for the HGTV show “The Flip Off” alongside Tarek and his second wife, Heather Rae El Moussa. However, Hall only appeared in the premiere episode of the show due to his split from Haack.
During a February episode of “The Flip Off,” Haack shared an update on their settlement negotiations as she claimed that Hall had continued to make her “financial offers” and “wants to retire off me.”

“Honestly, if I would’ve really understood the repercussions of all of this, I would’ve gotten a prenup or I would’ve never married him,” she said, per People.
During a March appearance on Sirius XM’s “Jeff Lewis Live,” Haack said that she and Hall have “mediation next month, hopefully.” But when asked if the two were close to settling, she responded, “No. I don’t know. Hopefully. It has not been close, but you know, mediation’s good.”
Meanwhile, Haack and Hall have both moved on since their split.
In January, Hall posted a birthday tribute on social media to model Stephanie Gabrys on his Instagram, seemingly confirming their relationship.

“Happy Birthday to this real life [angel emoji],” he captioned a photo of Gabrys sitting on his lap.
Haack has also moved on with boyfriend Christopher Larocca, CEO and president of Network Connex, and has been giving her followers a look at their relationship on social media.
Michael Bolton had strange symptoms before aggressive brain cancer diagnosis
A Grammy-winning singer and his family have revealed the surprising early symptoms of his brain cancer.
Michael Bolton, who was diagnosed in December 2023 with glioblastoma — the most aggressive and fastest-growing form of brain cancer — first exhibited signs that something was amiss the month prior, according to his daughters.
During a family night at the bowling alley, Bolton, 72, bowled out of turn several times, they told People during a recent interview.
MICHAEL BOLTON’S BRAIN CANCER TREATMENTS HAVE HARSH SIDE EFFECTS, BUT SUCCUMBING IS ‘NOT AN OPTION’
That same night, the singer had also fallen out of his chair, which was “very unusual,” Taryn, 45, told the outlet.
“He’s super athletic, and he doesn’t drink,” she said. “So he fell, and we were like, ‘What just happened?’”
“That was when we were like, ‘Something’s wrong with his brain.”
Looking back now, Bolton’s daughters recognize “so many things” they missed.
NEW PROSTATE CANCER TEST PINPOINTS DISEASE BETTER THAN PSA OPTION, STUDY FINDS
Earlier that fall, the Grammy winner had struggled to keep his balance and experienced nausea while performing at a charity event.
His daughters had assumed the strange symptoms were due to lack of sleep or excess stress, they said.
“He’d been working nonstop that whole time,” Taryn recalled while speaking to People.
“It is truly among the most tragic diseases.”
“Traveling, doing shows, doing all of these things. We were like, he’s getting older, he’s tired, he’s stressed out. All of these things we sort of explained in a way, one by one.”
Following the strange symptoms while bowling, Bolton began experiencing headaches, his daughters shared.
The following Monday, he received an MRI that detected a brain tumor, which was removed surgically and found to be glioblastoma.
ALTERNATIVE CANCER TREATMENT COULD REPLACE CHEMO AND SURGERY, STUDY SUGGESTS
While rare, glioblastoma is known for affecting people across all ages and for its fast, aggressive development, according to Michael Canney Ph.D., chief scientific officer of Carthera, a Colorado health tech company that develops medical devices to treat severe brain disorders.
“Although glioblastoma’s cause isn’t fully known, the disease begins when genetic changes in brain cells cause them to grow out of control,” Canney, who was not involved in Bolton’s care, told Fox News Digital.
“These cancerous cells rapidly invade surrounding brain tissue, making the tumor especially aggressive and hard to treat.”
Canney confirmed that the symptoms Bolton experienced — confusion, sudden falls and severe headaches — are consistent with glioblastoma warning signs.

“Other potential red flags include nausea, memory loss, personality changes, speech difficulties and vision changes,” he added.
“While the symptoms of glioblastoma are not unique to this disease, anytime you or a loved one experience an unexplained change in behavior, mental awareness or motor control, it’s important to see a medical professional.”
After surgery, Bolton completed radiation and chemotherapy, which have so far kept cancer at bay, the report noted.
He receives ongoing MRIs every two months to ensure that he is still clear of tumors.
Treatment and prognosis
Glioblastoma is among the deadliest cancers, with patients living for an average of just over a year after diagnosis. The five-year survival rate is less than 5%.
“It is truly among the most tragic diseases,” Canney said.
“A number of clinical trials are underway that give us an immense sense of hope.”
Part of what makes glioblastoma so severe is its resistance to treatment, according to the expert.
“Around your brain, there’s a natural protective barrier called the blood-brain barrier,” he told Fox News Digital.

“While this barrier keeps the brain safe from toxins and other harmful substances, it also blocks the life-saving chemotherapy drugs used in treating most cancers.”
In some cases, including Bolton’s, glioblastoma treatment can begin with surgery to remove the tumor, provided it has not grown too deeply into the brain, Canney said.
Other treatment options include radiation and chemotherapy, which can “modestly extend survival,” he noted.

“Although current treatment options are limited, a number of clinical trials are underway that give us an immense sense of hope,” Canney said, pointing out a new form of ultrasound-based technology that is showing promise.
“If approved, this technology will enable doctors to safely and temporarily open the blood-brain barrier for the first time ever — allowing a greater number of potentially more effective chemotherapy drugs into the brain.”
Reactions pour in as legendary investor Warren Buffett says he’s stepping down from job
Business leaders reacted on Saturday after Warren Buffett announced that he plans to step down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway following decades of leading the conglomerate.
“There’s never been someone like Warren, and countless people, myself included, have been inspired by his wisdom,” Apple CEO Tim Cook wrote on X. “It’s been one of the great privileges of my life to know him. And there’s no question that Warren is leaving Berkshire in great hands with Greg.”
Buffett named Greg Abel, who is vice chairman of Berkshire, as his replacement.
“I think the time has arrived where Greg should become the chief executive of the company at year end,” Buffett said at Berkshire’s annual shareholders meeting in Omaha, Nebraska.

Buffett, 94, said he would “hang around” the conglomerate after retiring as CEO, according to CNBC.
Following his announcement, Buffett received a standing ovation for several minutes from the large crowd in honor of his decades of service.
Jim Kramer, host of CNBC’s “Mad Money,” wrote on X: “In awe of Buffett and congratulate him on the greatest run of all time. Our only G.O.A.T.”

Republican Rep. French Hill of Arkansas, 68, who is chair of the House’s Financial Services Committee, told CNBC on Saturday that Buffett has been a “hero of mine since I was in college.”
He said he’s been coming to the Berkshire meetings since the early 1990s.

Mexican president spurns Trump’s offer to send troops after violent drug cartels
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum publicly confirmed she rejected U.S. military assistance from President Donald Trump, who was looking to help the country fight drug trafficking and violent cartels.
Responding to a Wall Street Journal report Friday that detailed the offer, Sheinbaum confirmed “it’s true.”
Trump reportedly called Sheinbaum and asked, “How can we help you fight drug trafficking?”
She told Trump the country will “never accept” the presence of the U.S. Army in its territory.
CONSERVATIVE GROUP’S ROADMAP SHOWS HOW TRUMP CAN USE MILITARY TO THWART CARTELS
“No, President Trump, our territory is inalienable, sovereignty is inalienable,” Sheinbaum said. “We can collaborate. We can work together, but with you in your territory and us in ours. We can share information, but we will never accept the presence of the United States Army on our territory.”
SINALOA CARTEL TAKES ROOT IN AMERICAN NEIGHBORHOODS: WHERE ARE THEY?
In a written statement to Fox News Digital Saturday, White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly highlighted coordinated efforts with Mexico to address border security.
“President Trump has worked with President Sheinbaum to advance border security collaboration with Mexico to the highest levels ever,” Kelly wrote. “This robust cooperation and information sharing is delivering tangible results, including the removal of numerous cartel leaders to the U.S. to face justice and creating the most secure border in history.”
Since taking office, Trump has continued to use CIA drones to conduct surveillance flights over the country in coordination with the Mexican government.
He has also formally named drug cartels “foreign terrorist” groups.
CIA USES DRONES TO SNIFF OUT CARTELS AND FENTANYL LABS IN MEXICO
However, Kelly said Mexico must do more to protect Americans from dangerous foreign terrorist organizations and “the drugs and violence they flood into communities on both sides of the border.”
“We will continue exploring ways to enhance our efforts across the region to dismantle these transnational criminal organizations,” she wrote. “We will make America safe again.”
The Heritage Foundation, a top conservative group, released a report in January detailing how Trump could use the military to confront the border crisis.
It argued that Mexican cartels are continuing to grow, illegal immigration and narcotics smuggling have accelerated and U.S.-Mexico security cooperation has deteriorated.
However, the report noted direct military action against cartels should be a “last resort,” preferring joint military action with Mexican coordination, Fox News Digital previously reported.

“In the appropriate context, unilateral U.S. military action may be employed to disrupt cartel activity and prompt cooperation from a resistant Mexican government,” the group wrote.
The foundation claimed Mexico was unlikely to change its stance when Sheinbaum was elected despite the escalating threat from cartels.
New US security mandate is reuniting Americans with their worst enemy
While many public policy leaders believe implementation of REAL ID requirements across the country will bolster national security, some more libertarian critics say the Bush-era protocol could come at a cost to individual liberty and bigger government, with one expert telling Fox News Digital it essentially sets up a de facto national ID system and treats law-abiding Americans with suspicion.
When Congress debated REAL ID in 2005, libertarian Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, strongly opposed the move, positing that it constituted a national ID card that had no limitations on what type of information could be stored on it, posing a significant threat to American civil liberties.
After being signed into law, the implementation of REAL ID was repeatedly postponed during administrations of both political parties, including the first Trump administration during the height of the COVID pandemic. This year, however, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) set a new deadline for obtaining a REAL ID of May 7. Having REAL ID-compliant identification will be required to board domestic commercial airline flights and to access some federal facilities like courthouses or military bases.
So, should citizens be concerned about getting a REAL ID? Fox News Digital spoke to two policy experts, one supportive and one critical, for their views.
WHAT IS REAL ID? DEADLINE APPROACHES FOR NEW IDENTIFICATION CARDS REQUIRED TO FLY DOMESTICALLY
What are the benefits?
Simon Hankinson, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation’s Border Security and Immigration Center, told Fox News Digital that requiring additional documentation to obtain a REAL ID will have a significant impact on identifying and cracking down on terrorism and other illegal activity in the U.S., including illegal immigration.
By requiring a REAL ID to fly, Hankinson explained that IDs offered by liberal states to illegal immigrants will no longer allow those illegals to easily move about the country unchecked.
He pointed to the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001, in which several of the al Qaeda terrorists involved had obtained valid state licenses, which were accepted for boarding their flights.
And while Hankinson acknowledged that concerns about data privacy are legitimate, he pointed out that most Americans already have much of their information stored in databases such as that of the Social Security Administration.
‘WE’RE SIMPLY NOT READY’: REAL ID ROLLOUT COULD TRIGGER NATIONAL HEADACHE, STATE LAWMAKER WARNS
Hankinson said the government will have to be held to the highest standards to uphold citizens’ privacy. Still, he compared the risk-reward scenario posed to the nation by REAL ID to nuclear power.
“If it’s done right, you can mitigate the risks, and you can have, like France, 75, 80% of your power from nuclear power plants,” he said. “If you cut corners, and you put the wrong people in charge and you take risks, then you end up with Chernobyl.”
What are the concerns?
But Jim Harper, a senior fellow of digital privacy and constitutional law at the American Enterprise Institute, told Fox News Digital that though REAL ID is not technically a national identification card, since it is issued by individual states, obtaining one enters private citizens into a national database, effectively making it a national identification system.
“REAL ID is a national ID system. And historically, national ID systems have been used for terrible things,” he said. “We want to make sure that we don’t position ourselves in the United States ever to have that much authority reside with the government. And so, for two decades now, I’ve been arguing against REAL ID, simple as that.
BLUE STATES RALLIED FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO OBTAIN DRIVER’S LICENSES AHEAD OF TRUMP’S REAL ID CRACKDOWN
What is the problem with being entered into a national system? Harper explained that his concern is that setting up such a system treats American citizens as suspects before they have committed any crimes.
He granted that the dangers of REAL ID are “not as urgent” as something like the Patriot Act, which was passed in the wake of 9/11 and significantly expanded the scope and powers of law enforcement and intelligence operations in the U.S., but that it similarly expands the ability of the government to control and monitor its citizenry.
“I reject the idea of having law-abiding American citizens put into a national I.D. system because they might be terrorists. That’s not the way we do law enforcement in this country, to treat people as suspects from go,” he said. “I don’t think natural born citizens should, should be put into a national I.D. system for immigration control. That’s the that’s the problem of illegal immigration being visited on the citizen. That’s not how it’s supposed to work.”
In his view, the “burden” of the reasons for having a national ID “all falls on the citizen, on the individual who’s not accused of any crime or any wrongdoing. That’s not the way to do it.”
WHAT DID THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION, 9/11 COMMISSION SAY ABOUT REAL ID LEGISLATION?
What should I do?
Harper predicted that the federal government will ultimately bend on enforcing REAL ID requirements and continue to “kick the can down the road” as they have done for two decades.

What’s more, according to both Hankinson and Harper, citizens in most states will still have other options available to them if they want to opt out of getting a REAL ID.
In the end, the decision of whether to obtain a REAL ID or to accept the risks of not doing so rests with individual citizens.
