US citizen reveals shocking deportation threat from Trump officials

Aldo Martinez-Gomez, who was born and raised in California, received a threatening email from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Namely, DHS requested that he leaves the country within seven days, otherwise he will face “criminal prosecutions.”

“DHS is now exercising its discretion to terminate your parole. Unless it expires sooner, your parole will terminate 7 days from the date of this notice,” the message in question sent on April 11 read, according to Uniland.

“If you do not depart the United States immediately, you will be subject to potential law enforcement actions that will result in your removal from the United States – unless you have otherwise obtained a lawful basis to remain here.”

The email ended with a direct threat. “Do not attempt to remain in the United States – the federal government will find you. Please depart the United States immediately.”

As expected, the content of the deportation threat visibly disturbed Martinez-Gomez.

Speaking to ABC 10NEWS, he said, “I do get nervous because I don’t want to be an error with so many errors that this administration has made. And they have been talking about deporting US citizens, so it is a concern because that means I’m on their radar.”

Since beginning his second term, Trump’s administration has intensified efforts to deport undocumented immigrants.

So far, he has deported 238 supposed criminals to the world’s worst prison in El Salvador and tried to revoke the legal status of around 530,000 migrants who arrived in the States under a humanitarian parole program.

A senior DHS official explained that some of the notices, like the deportation threat Martinez-Gomez has received, could be sent out by mistake.

“Notices may have been sent to unintended recipients. CBP is monitoring communications and will address any issues on a case-by-case basis.”

Martinez-Gozmes, who works full-time for a non-profit organization, believes he’s under the government’s radar due to his advocacy for immigrants.

“I believe I received it because I’m an accredited representative, and I represent immigrants, and I advocate for immigrants’ rights in the court,” he said.

“I’m not seeking fame or attention, I just want to bring light to this issue because I’m not trying to be one of the government’s mistakes.”

Reportedly, other people born and raised in the States, just like Martinez-Gomez have also received the threatening email.

JD Vance sparks outrage after ‘lack of respect’ following Pope Francis’ death

By

A day before his final public appearance on Easter Sunday, when he greeted the crowd and wished them Happy Easter, Pope Francis welcomed Vice President JD Vance into his Vatican Home.

Allegedly, during the meeting, which lasted for just a couple of minutes, Vance had broken a cardinal rule.

Vance was spending a weekend with his family in Vatican City and was reportedly snubbed by the pope on Saturday, leaving him to meet Vatican’s secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and foreign minister, Archbishop Paul Gallagher.

The office of the vice president, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, reported that Vance and Parolin “discussed their shared religious faith, Catholicism in the United States, the plight of persecuted Christian communities around the world, and President Trump’s commitment to restoring world peace.”

According to the Vatican News, however, the two had “an exchange of opinions on the international situation, especially regarding countries affected by war, political tensions and difficult humanitarian situations, with particular attention to migrants, refugees, and prisoners.”

During the brief meeting between Vance and the pope, they exchanged Easter greetings, and Vance was given three large chocolate Easter eggs for his three children, a Vatican tie, and rosaries.

Vance reportedly told Pope Francis that was aware of his declining health and that he prayed for him.

In a post on X, Vance shared photos of himself and the pope along with the caption, “Today I met with the Holy Father Pope Francis. I am grateful for his invitation to meet, and I pray for his good health. Happy Easter!”

While the brief meeting ended well, it was Vance’s visit of the Sistine Chapel that sparked public outrage.

Namely, photographer Emily Higgins posted a photo of Vince and his family from inside the Sistine Chapel. It was captioned, “An epic shot of Vice President JD Vance and his son inside the Sistine Chapel. What an incredible way to spend Easter weekend.”

It wasn’t long before a number of people noted that “You do NOT take pictures in the Sistine Chapel. No respect.”

Someone commented, “To take photos in the Sistine Chapel is strictly forbidden! Every true Catholic knows this. This picture shows what’s wrong: Rules are only to be followed by others but not the American government – utterly despicable!”

Another person wrote, “Not allowed to take photos in the Sistine Chapel. Even in something so basic, they think the rules don’t apply to them.”

However, there were also those who defended JD Vance and his mistake during the Vatican visit.

“Wrong,” one person commented on the comments of Vance showing disrespect.

“Not only did the Vatican explicitly grant permission for the VP’s team to photograph their visit, the Vatican itself released video of their tour. They did the same for other official state visits including Michelle Obama’s visit in 2009,” the person commented.

The Vatican Museum explains that “it is permitted to take photographs, for personal and domestic use only, of the works in all areas of the Vatican Museums, apart from the Sistine Chapel. Flash photography is strictly forbidden.”

The warning continues, “In the Sistine Chapel it is forbidden to take photographs or films with any type of electronic equipment.”

Following Pope Francis’ passing, Vance expressed his condolences through a post on the social media.

“I just learned of the passing of Pope Francis. My heart goes out to the millions of Christians all over the world who loved him.

“I was happy to see him yesterday, though he was obviously very ill. But I’ll always remember him for the below homily he gave in the very early days of COVID. It was really quite beautiful. May God rest his soul.”

Donald Trump cut speech short amid medical emergency

President Donald Trump was forced to cut his speech short during a White House press conference due to a medical emergency.

At the time, Trump was swearing in TV personality, Dr. Memhet Oz, who will serve as the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) during Trump’s presidency.

The reason Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt terminated the briefing and asked the reporters to vacate the room was because a girl collapsed during the ceremony, the Irish Star reported.

“Press out,” Leavitt could be heard saying.

Realizing something serious was going on, President Trump cut his speech and left the podium in order to assist. “I hope she’s OK,” he was heard saying.

Dr. Oz could be seen rushing off camera to offer help.

Video showed the young girl being hastily accompanied out of the room.

The White House later confirmed that a “minor family member” fainted during the ceremony, adding they were now fine. The statement read, “A minor family member fainted during Dr Oz’s swearing in ceremony in the Oval Office. We are happy to say she is OK.”

When Trump introduced Dr. Oz, he said he has “come to this position as one of the nation’s most talented and beloved medical professionals.” 

The president then read Dr. Oz’s qualifications, stating he had graduated from Harvard University. He obtained a Doctor of Medicine and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Penn’s Wharton School, respectively.

Dr. Oz then worked as a heart surgeon and professor of cardiac surgery at Columbia University and as the Director of the Cardiovascular Institute and integrative medicine program at New York Presbyterian Hospital.

He started his health and wellness talk show, The Dr. Oz Show in 2009. It ended in 2022.

X

During the years his show was on air, it came under scrutiny because of some of the controversial medical advice Dr. Oz presented to the audience.

Among the rest, his statement that green coffee extract is a ‘magic weight loss cure’ was condemned by the Federal Trade Commission.

Dr. Oz’ appointment to CMS was confirmed earlier this month with a 53-45 Senate vote.

New data reveals public opinion on Trump running for a third term

By
Monica Pop
-

The Constitution doesn’t allow a single person to serve as the president of the country for three times, but ever since taking office for the second time, Trump has been testing the idea of running for a third term.

“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once,” the Constitution states.

REUTERS via NewYork Post

So far, Donald Trump has opened up about the idea of a third term a number of times.

However, not many believed he was serious – unless not until recently, when he clearly hinted there are ways for him to continue his presidency beyond 2028.

Recently, Congressman Andy Ogles introduced a House Joint Resolution that would amend the U.S. Constitution to allow a president to serve up to three terms, but no more.

“President Trump’s decisive leadership stands in stark contrast to the chaos, suffering, and economic decline Americans have endured over the past four years. He has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation’s decay and restoring America to greatness, and he must be given the time necessary to accomplish that goal,” Ogles wrote on his website.

“To that end, I am proposing an amendment to the Constitution to revise the limitations imposed by the 22nd Amendment on presidential terms. This amendment would allow President Trump to serve three terms, ensuring that we can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

While Ogles tends to change the law and Trump is looking for loopholes, the Pew Research Center reveals that only 40 percent of poll participants approve of Trump’s performance in office so far. This shows that the ratings have dropped by seven percent compared to February’s.

Asked about their opinion on Trump’s decision on imposing tariffs, 59 percent disapprove of the increase.

A separate poll by Reuters and Ipsos asked respondents if Trump should run for a third term.

“Three-quarters of respondents said Trump should not run for a third term in office — a path Trump has said he would like to pursue, though the U.S. Constitution bars him from doing so,” Reuters revealed.

“A majority of Republican respondents — 53% — said Trump should not seek a third term,” it added.

The holy items inside Pope Francis’ casket

By

Pope Francis “returned to the home of the Father,” and the news of his passing, mere hours after his final public appearance, sent waves of grief and sorrow through the Christian world.

On Sunday, he greeted crowds at the Easter Sunday Service and gave his ‘Urbi et Orbi’ benediction from a balcony facing the Piazza.

He addressed the crowds with the words, “Brothers and sisters, Happy Easter!”

Pope Francis led a very modest life, and he remained simple even in death.

His last wishes, including his resting place, break centuries of Vatican tradition.

Wikipedia

By his own request, the pontiff will not be buried in the Vatican, but in the Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore.

In his will, he wrote, “I wish that my last earthly journey conclude precisely in this ancient Marian sanctuary where I went for prayer at the beginning and end of each Apostolic Journey to confidently entrust my intentions to the Immaculate Mother and thank Her for her docile and maternal care. I ask that my tomb be prepared in the niche of the side nave between the Pauline Chapel (Chapel of the Salus Populi Romani) and the Sforza Chapel of the aforementioned Papal Basilica as indicated in the enclosed attachment.”

He also wished that no inscriptions on the tomb mention his role as Pope.

Handout/Vatican News service

“The tomb must be in the earth; simple, without particular decoration and with the only inscription: Franciscus. The expenses for the preparation of my burial will be covered by the sum of the benefactor that I have arranged, to be transferred to the Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and of which I have provided appropriate instructions to Mons. Rolandas Makrickas, Extraordinary Commissioner of the Liberian Chapter,” Francis continued.

“May the Lord give the deserved reward to those who have loved me and will continue to pray for me. The suffering that has become present in the last part of my life I have offered to the Lord for peace in the world and brotherhood among peoples.”

On Wednesday, his body was moved to St Peter’s Basilica, where it will lie in state for three days ahead of his funeral on Saturday which is expected to be attended by hundreds of thousands of believers and world leaders.

The first image of Pope Francis lying in repose was shared on Tuesday by the Vatican.

He was seen in the open casket, dressed in red vestments and a rosary folded into his hands.

Handout/Vatican News service

Also, several symbolic items are placed into his casket. The miter, Francis’ hat, the crozier, or pastoral staff, and a small bag of coins minted during his reign.

Along with these items, a legal document called a rogito, which records Pope Francis’ life, is also placed in the casket. A copy of it is kept in the Vatican’s archives.

His broken Fisherman’s Ring, which is ceremonially destroyed before burial to signify the end of a pope’s reign, is in the casket as well.

While most of the popes are buried in elaborate triple caskets made of cypress, lead, and oak, Pope Francis’ wish was his to be plain, made of simple wood lined with zinc.

Vatican confirmed Pope Francis’ funeral to be on April 26 at 10 AM local time in St. Peter’s Square.

Boy, 6, dies after showing symptom nearly all kids experience

By

The Menai-Davis family experienced an inexplicable loss when their 6-year-old son, Hugh, passed away in September 2021.

The boy was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer but fought bravely for six months and in May he got to ring the bell at the hospital where he had been receiving treatment after being declared cancer free.

Sadly, the cancer returned shortly after and nothing could be done to save his young life.

Hugh’s devastated parents, Frances and Ceri, have reflected on their son’s diagnosis and wanted to warn parents of the symptoms Hugh experienced before they learned he had rhabdomyosarcoma.

The first thing Hugh complained about was a swollen stomach. His parents took him to the hospital but were told he probably had a virus and that it wasn’t anything they should worry about.

However, Hugh’s condition didn’t get any better in the days to come. On the contrary, the swelling persisted and they could feel something more serious than a stomach bug was going on.

When they returned to the hospital for tests, they learned the news no parent wants to hear.

“Our lives changed forever. The consultant said, we think Hugh’s got cancer,” Frances told MailOnline.

Sadly, his condition declined at an alarming rate. His stomach was filled with fluid that pressed his lungs and caused him troubles breathing.

“My wife and I were in tears behind closed doors,” Frances explained.

“Fear is learned, so we didn’t want to show him any weakness. We never told him that he wouldn’t be alright.

“Hugh faced everything with innocence and ignorance and he was just amazing.

“He never moaned or complained, he just got on with it.”

Following a few rounds of chemo treatments, Hugh started feeling better. The family was convinced they were beating the cancer.

In the following months, Huge was getting in and out of hospital. Finally, in May, 2021, they were told Hugh was cancer free.

But their happiness didn’t last long, just three months later, the cancer returned and their boy passed away a few weeks later.

From what seemed like an innocent stomach pain and welling, to losing their child, Hugh’s mom and dad urge other parents to seek medical help immediately after they notice something isn’t right with their child.

“No one knows your child better than you and the majority of the time it is nothing to worry about, but from our experience it is worth the effort,” Hugh’s dad said.

Following Hugh’s passing, Ceri and Frances founded the charity It’s Never You that offers support for families with children living with cancer.

May Jimmy Kimmel be quitting TV?

By

Jimmy Kimmel has to be one of the most beloved TV faces.

Except for being the host of Jimmy Kimmel Live, he has been in the group of a selected few who have hosted the Oscars four times.

Although many thought that Kimmel would be once again taking the stage at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood as a host this year, that didn’t happen.

Jimmy Kimmel/ Entertainment Tonight – YouTube

Speaking to Los Angeles Times while preparing for the 2024 Academy Awards and why he agreed to another go-round, Kimmel said, “I did not think I would ever do it again. I did two of them, and they went well — something crazy happened at one of them with a story I’ll have for the rest of my life. I know how much work goes into them, so I thought, ‘Yeah, I don’t necessarily want to do this ever again.’ ”

The Jimmy Kimmel Live had its premiere in 2003. At the time, he was a newbie but managed to make a name for himself as one of the best in the field, becoming America’s longest-running current late-night talk show host.

Jimmy Kimmel/ Entertainment Tonight – YouTube

But is he considering walking away?

In fact, during an episode of “Strike Force Five,” the podcast he co-hosted with other late-night program hosts during the writers’ strike, Kimmel confessed he thought of quitting his show. However, it was the strike that reminded him how much he enjoyed hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live.

“It’s hard to yearn for it when you’re doing it,” he told Los Angeles Times. “Wednesday night, I was very tired and I had all these scripts to go through — I had to revise and rewrite all these pitch ideas for the Oscars — and I was literally nodding off onto my computer. In those moments, I think, ‘I cannot wait until my contract is over.’ But then, I take the summer off or I go on strike, and you start going, ‘Yeah, I miss the fun stuff.’ ”

Jimmy Kimmel/ Entertainment Tonight – YouTube

He then went on to say, “I think this is my final contract. I hate to even say it, because everyone’s laughing at me now — each time I think that, and then it turns out to be not the case. I still have a little more than two years left on my contract, and that seems pretty good. That seems like enough.”

Asked what future Jimmy looks like, the host answered, “He is very accomplished. He speaks Italian, he plays the harmonica beautifully.”

Kimmel added: “He is an expert fly-fisherman. He does all these different things that I know I’m not actually going to do. He’s drawn some graphic novels that were very well-received. He’s very busy — it’s funny, whenever I think of what I’m going to do when I stop working, it all involves more work.”

Dog’s barking at a funeral exposes an empty coffin

By

-

That morning felt heavier than any other. Ryan was returning home for his father’s funeral, the man who meant the world to him.

When he entered the church, he noticed his mother. She seemed older than the last time he had seen her. Her fragile figure broke his heart. “How could she continue her life without my father?” Ryan thought to himself.

Bella, his father’s dog ran towards Ryan, but she didn’t act as calm as usual. To Ryan’s surprise, Bella wouldn’t stop barking. She tried to climb on the coffin, and Ryan knew just how much she missed her owner.

He tried to calm her down, but Bella disobeyed – it was as though she wanted a closure by seeing Arnold one last time.

“Can you open the coffin?” Ryan asked. But he was told it wasn’t possible since his father died of some sort of a highly infectious virus and the lid was sealed.

In fact, Ryan hadn’t seen the documents by the medical examiner,but something felt odd. Where could his dad contract such an infection, he wondered.

Realizing how disturbed Bella was, he once again demanded the coffin to be opened, so they did – to Ryan’s shock, it was empty.

Arnold’s body was missing.

Everyone at the church was shocked and confused. His mother almost fainted on the church’s floor.

Bella could sense something wasn’t right, and she warned the family.

From that moment on, Ryan was determined to get to the bottom of the story.

He alerted the police, but they assured him that according to the coroner, the cause of death had been clearly documented and the remains had been properly processed.

But if that was true, then why was the coffin empty?

After a couple of days, Ryan received a call by his father’s lawyer. He told him that the family’s company was in trouble and that all the money was gone.

Nothing made sense. His dad was a man who always put his family first. He would never do them any harm, or at least Ryan thought so.

In the days to come, Ryan was looking for answers that he couldn’t find on his dad’s email where every message was deleted or in the company’s documents that suddenly vanished.

But then, he received a message from an unknown number. “Your dad had an affair with his secretary, Miss Peterson. Follow the figurine and you’ll learn the truth.”

Ryan recalled that the two figurines from his dad’s office were missing, but he didn’t think much about it at first. He also recalled that his father struggled to get the third figurine and complete the set for years. So maybe if he could trace the third figurine he could find the answer to the mystery surrounding his father’s “passing.”

After researching day and night, Ryan finally learned that the third figurine was in possession of a man named Mr. Frederick. Ryan didn’t waste time contacting the man, who asked $750,000 for the piece. It was way above the figurine’s worth, but Ryan needed to have it.

He contacted his father’s lawyer and said, “I need to liquidate some shares—$750,000 worth. The lawyer warned him that this move could cost him the controlling stake at the company, but Ryan was ready to learn the truth.

Once the figurine was his, he waited for the auction of artifacts to start and he listed it there, hoping it would catch the attention of someone who needed it badly.

When the day of the auction come, Ryan heard a familiar voice bidding. It was Arnold’s.

His father was very much alive, and Ryan couldn’t believe his eyes.

He stood from the chair and approached him. “Dad, how could you do this?” Ryan asked.

“Ryan, you tricked me,” his father shouted and ran towards the entrance. However, the detectives were there, waiting for him.

Arnold faked his own dead so that he could be with another woman. He shattered his family and now he was going to pay the price.
